He rolls his eyes. “Is she boring?”

“No, not at all. Just the opposite. She’s a lot of fun.”

“Then why are you worried? She’ll be fine.”

I’m not sure. I can’t risk upsetting her again. I feel like I’m walking on eggshells with her. I need to behave perfectly. She gave me a second chance when I acted like an asshole. I don’t want to rock the boat. Other than taking her hand in front of the restaurant, I didn’t touch her at all the other night. Though I didn’t miss how hard she squeezed me on the ride home. She seemed comfortable with me, and I want to keep it that way.

She texts me a little while later that they’ve arrived and are waiting for us out front. I grab Collin’s arm. “Come on. They’re here.”

“This Jasmine girl better be hot.”

“Reagan said she is. I think I briefly met her once. She’s definitely cute.” I’m not sure I remember her at all, but I’m sure she’ll be fine.

“Is Reagan hot?”

“It doesn’t get any hotter.”

We walk outside. There are already a group of men surrounding Reagan and Jasmine, clearly hitting on them. Reagan has them all laughing. I shake my head. This girl is something else.

I start to make my way through her fan club and get my first glimpse of her whole body. She’s in low-hung, tight leather pants with a silver halter-top that shows a hint of stomach and all of her back. Her big, gravity defying breasts are on full display. She’s so damn sexy. I legitimately have to adjust myself when I see her.

She was right about Jasmine. She’s extremely attractive in a completely different way from Reagan. She’s mocha skinned with hazel eyes and long, dark hair. She looks like a young Vanessa Williams. Collin elbows me and gives me a big smile. I guess he likes what he sees.

Collin is of Irish descent. He’s fair skinned with blue eyes and light hair. He’s not as tall or big as I am, but he’s pretty tall with a decent build.

We finally push our way through the crowd of men ogling Reagan and Jasmine. I grab for Reagan’s hand. She turns and smiles when she sees me. I whisper in her ear, “We’ll probably be photographed while we’re out here. The ball’s in your court for contact.”

She nods in understanding. She kisses my cheek and wraps her arms around me in a warm hug. We smile at each other. I see a few flashes go off. That was perfect.

She pulls Jasmine, and the four of us head to the front door. We introduce Jasmine and Collin. I can see they are both clearly immediately attracted to the other.

As we walk in, Reagan looks around and realizes what kind of club this is. I look at her. “Sorry, Collin didn’t tell me it was also a strip club. I just found out when I arrived. We can leave if you want.”

“Hell no. I love strip clubs. Let’s get drinks and watch the pole dancing. Those women are in crazy good shape. It’s hella hard to do that shit. I’ve tried.”

I smile. This girl always surprises me. “I’ll grab the drinks. What do you want?”

“Two vodkas with a splash of cranberry juice, please.”

I nod. “Collin has a table reserved for us in the VIP section.” I turn to Collin. “Take them to the table. I’ll be over in a few minutes.”

The three of them leave for the table. I head to the bar and order four drinks. I see Francesca sitting at a nearby table with friends. Shit.

Francesca is a tall Italian model with long brown hair and big, brown eyes. She’s a beautiful woman.

She and I have never dated, but she’s always been easy to be around, and we hook up when we both feel like it which, in all honesty, was a lot until my deal with Reagan. She’s texted a bunch of times in the past few weeks, but I’ve blown her off.

I have no interest in hurting her, but I can’t be around her tonight. I don’t want to upset Reagan.

As soon as she notices me, she immediately makes her way over. She smiles at me as she kisses both of my cheeks hello. In her deep Italian accent, she says, “Well hello, sexy. I didn’t know you’d be here. Want to hang out together?” That’s code for, let’s have sex tonight.

I shake my head. “I’m here with someone tonight. Sorry, Franny.”

“Oh, really? Can I meet her?”

“Not right now. Another time. I’ll call you in the next few weeks.”

She nods in understanding. She’s always been easy to have in my life in that regard.
