“No. Netflix, chill, and a pint of Ben and Jerry’s.”

“Raven, you need to get out of the house more. Why don’t you come with tonight? You can borrow a dress.”

“On your date? Oh, yes please. I would love to be your third wheel. Should I join in when you two fuck, or are you more of an exhibitionist?”

“Fuck off,” I grinned, pitching a pillow at her.

I laughed as it clocked her right in the face. I swallowed my laughter… or rather, a pillow… as she whipped it back.

“You’re meeting him there, right?”

“No, I…”

As if on cue, the doorbell rang. Raven’s eyes narrowed and her lips pressed together in a line.

“You met the guy in line at the coffee shop and you gave him your damn address? What the fuck, Leah?”

“He’s harmless,” I shrugged.

“I hope you’re right,” she muttered. “You go ahead, I’ll lock up for you.”

“Thanks, girl, you’re the best!”

I kissed her on the cheek and went to answer the door. Tad flashed me a grin and I shivered, wondering briefly if Raven had been right about letting him pick me up at my place. I turned back to look at her and was thankful that we’d known each other long enough for her to catch my look.

“Any idea when you’ll be home?”

“I’m not sure, Raven. Do me a favor and leave the light on if you go to bed before I’m home.”

“You ready to go, Leah? You look hot,” Tad said, sounding much like a sixteen-year-old boy.

“Thanks. Let’s go,” I smiled.

With a final look at Raven, I followed Tad out, closing the door behind me.

We pulled up to a very non-descript building with no sign and a long ass line to get in. He pulled up behind a line of cars and I looked out the window, a little uneasy.

“What is this place?” I asked.

“I told you, it’s a club. You’re gonna love it.”

“I’m not even sure we’re going to get in. Did you notice the line?”

“We’ll get in, trust me,” Tad said, eyes laser-focused on my tits.

We got to the front of the valet line and he got out of the car, handing his key to the valet. He took a ticket from him and started toward the club entrance. I shook my head and awkwardly climbed out of the car, trying not to flash my lace-clad pussy to the world. I rocked a little on my heels and slammed the door, heading in his direction.

Gonna be an early night if this is any indication, fucking prick.

He grabbed my hand, pulling me to where the bouncer stood.

“Tad,” I hissed, “slow down before I land on my ass.”

He had the grace to look sheepish as he slowed to match my pace.

“Back again so soon, Tad?” the bouncer asked with a grin.
