I smile to myself. They are talking about my girl, and Lawson defended me. Proud doesn’t even describe the feelings I have.

“Massey is dating a mechanic?” Angel gags.

“She can do so much better,” Bells adds.

I’m trying to keep myself in check. This is Victor’s career, but she’s my best friend.

“Oh?” I say innocently. “Why is that?”

“I don’t know, the mechanic has the in with the other mechanic who is restoring that car. Fully done, can be close to what?” The guys look at each other.

“Thirty-five to forty-five thousand dollars,” I finish their sentence.

Victor’s head snaps toward me with a wicked grin. Reaching below the table, he runs his hand along my bare thigh. He loves it when I talk shop.

“You know your classic car numbers?” One guy seems impressed.

“I know my classic car,” I proudly confirm.

The entire table collectively gasps, “You?”

I nod, placing my hand over Victor’s that is on my thigh. I pull it higher on my thigh and cross my legs over, trapping his hand between my thighs.

“It’s yours?” Angel asks with distaste.

“It is. My brothers and I are all mechanics. I restored her myself,” I kindly remark. I hope Victor knows how hard it is for me to be so nice.

“Damn, that’s hot.” The older man stares me down.

“A girl that knows cars.” The other client leans forward, resting his forearms on the edge of the table.

“Three years of work, and it’s almost complete. All it needs is a new paint job. She is … she is beautiful.” My chest puffs out with pride.

“Close second.” Victor gives my leg a squeeze and winks, causing me to blush.

The guys lean closer toward me as if they are interested. “Will you sell?

“No,” I quickly shut him down.

“If you do, call me.”

“No, call me. Seriously. You name your price.”

They try to outdo each other.

“That’s very kind of you, but it’s not for sale. Please excuse me, I need to use the ladies’ room. It seems that I still have grease under my nails. The manicurist didn’t tell me about it.” I can’t even hold a straight face.

I head to the bathroom solo, trying to calm down from a couple of takers in this world. You can literally see the women using the men for their money and the men looking for the next score. These are the people who easily take what they want. I take a moment in the bathroom to sort myself out and look at what I look like. A harsh reminder that this is a world that I don’t belong in. I shake my nerves off and walk out of the bathroom.

A hand grabs me and pushes me against the wall. I fight until I see it’s him.

“God! You were so sexy just now!” Victor pushes his body closer to mine. I can feel his erection pressing against my stomach.

“What?” I say innocently.

“The way those guys want you.”

“Their girlfriends hate me.”
