Which we unfortunately didn’t get to indulge in as much as we’d have liked.
One hand snaked around me and squeezed my ass. “Yep, as firm as ever. Why are you still single, Jason?”
I laughed. “I’m not sure there’s any woman out there who could handle me.” Giving her a wink, I glanced at her glass. “Have you two eaten anything?”
“We’ve had some nibbles, but I wouldn’t mind a decent meal.”
“I’ll order something from the kitchen.”
“You’re a gentleman and a scholar.” Victoria waved her glass about dangerously, and had I not ducked she would have clocked me in the head.
I kissed Emilia’s cheek before turning to the large, beefy man sitting on one of the sofas. Nick Torres rose as I approached him and stuck his hand out. We’d met a number of times in the past, and I shook his hand. “Nice to see you again, Nick.”
“You too, Jason.”
“What did you do?”
“To get stuck with babysitting duties?” The taller man gave me a grin. “I volunteered.”
“Glutton for punishment, I see. Have they been behaving themselves?”
“Yeah.” His eyes twinkled. “Don’t ask them what they’re doing, though.”
I glanced over my shoulder to see the girls back at the window, pointing out various nightclubbers to each other. My brows furrowed. Now that Nick had said it, I had to know what was going on. But first, food. “Do you want something to eat?” I knew he wouldn’t have had any alcohol to drink because he was on duty, but I could feed him.
“Please.”
“Steak or burger?”
“A steak would be fantastic.”
I called down to the kitchen and ordered a tray of food to be brought up to us before stepping back over to the ladies. “Having fun?”
“Yep.” Emilia drained her glass and placed it on the small table nearby forcefully, before going back to her friend’s side.
“Look, there’s one.” Victoria nudged her and the two of them leaned forward until their noses hit the glass, making them giggle uncontrollably.
“Do I want to know what you two are doing?”
Emilia turned toward me. “We’re on the prowl. Rowr.” She curled her hand up in front of her and swiped it, as though she were a large cat. She was utterly fucking adorable and I couldn’t stop the laugh that burst out of me. A similarly deep laugh came from behind me, which told me Nick was enjoying the show as much as I was.
I pulled my best friend close, sliding my arms around her waist. “What, exactly, are you on the prowl for?”
She rested her hands on my chest. “We—” She hesitated, her eyes drooping closed, before she glanced over her shoulder at Victoria. “What are we on the prowl for?”
“Dick.”
I was glad I hadn’t been taking a drink at that moment because I would have choked on it. “Excuse me?”
Emilia cackled with laughter while Victoria sidled over to us and slid her arms around us both. “Don’t be such an old man, Jason. It’s the twenty-first century and we’re both strong, independent women. If we want to get some dick, then dick we shall have.”
Another snort of laughter emanated from behind me, and when I shot a look at Nick, I could see he was straining with the effort not to lose his shit completely.
“Far be it for me to come between you and your…quest.” The door to the room opened, and a waitress carrying a large tray with plates of food entered. She slid it onto the counter, and after I thanked her left the room again. “But how about you eat first?”
“Oooh, food! I’m starving.” Emilia skipped over to the bar and picked up one of the plates, Victoria hot on her heels. Once they both grabbed the burgers I’d ordered them, they sat down at the dining table over on the far wall and tucked in.
I got them a glass of water each, and then Nick and I joined them. Since I’d already had dinner at home I’d only ordered a plate of fries for myself, but I still ate every one. Once all four of us had eaten our fill, the girls were back up at the window while I stayed with Nick.
