“I guess I was. Are you and Kenley together?”

I held my breath as I waited impatiently for her response.

“No, but I wouldn’t mind taking you both for a ride.”

I stared at her in wide-eyed shock, surprised at her sassy as fuck response.

Okay, not a sub.

I loved the smart-assed response but I didn’t love the fact she clearly wasn’t a sub. I was about to say my goodbyes when Kenley made her way back. I was a little surprised as she sidled right up to me and joined our dance. I found this unusual as I knew she was a sub. It seemed these women weren’t having a shy night.

Kenley stayed snug against me, sandwiched between Shelby and me, for several dances. Now I didn’t know what the fuck was happening. Could both women be interested in me? Fuck, a guy couldn’t have better luck than two hot women vying for his attention. The problem was, did Kenley actually want me too or was she just dancing with me to stay close to Shelby? It figured. Two hot as fuck women, one not a sub and the other probably not interested.

Could I have worse luck?

As it turned out, yes, yes, I could. Seb approached from the far side of the dance floor, a concerned expression on his face.

“Thomas, I have to talk to you.”

“Right now?” I asked, knowing it had to be something important for him to interrupt.

“Sorry, but yes.”

“Sorry, ladies. Save a dance for me?”

“Sure thing, hot stuff,” Shelby winked.

“I’ll be here,” Kenley said shyly.

I nodded and followed Seb off the dance floor and up to his and Chase’s office. I didn’t expect to see Chase waiting in there and I was really worried that something had gone drastically wrong. I had never been called into their office like this.

“What’s up, guys? You’re scaring me a little,” I laughed nervously.

“We’ve got a problem,” Seb started, anger barely contained.

“We don’t have a problem,” Chase growled. “Leo has a fucking problem.”

“Leo? What about Leo?”

He was one of my best bouncers and I wondered what he had done to warrant the wrath of Seb and Chase. He was working the door tonight and I couldn’t think of what could possibly have happened.

“Leo—”

“He—” Chase started. “Ugh, you tell him. I’m too fucking disgusted.”

“We found out something disturbing tonight. We’ve been noticing an influx of members in the club that none of the managers recognize. Obviously, we don’t all know all of the members but these women have been causing problems with unsolicited touching in the club. As you know, you can’t so much as put a hand on someone’s shoulder without their consent.”

“Of course.”

“Well, all members go through interviews with one of the managers and we’ve talked. No one interviewed these women,” Chase snapped.

“What does this have to do with Leo?”

“It turns out, Leo has been letting them in for the promise of dates,” Seb explained.

“He fucking what?!” I growled, rage bubbling to the surface. “I’ll fucking kill him.”

I stood from my chair, immediately ready to fire his ass. I would never have expected this from him. Over the last few years, we’d had the occasional issue with bouncers. One of them even accepted bribes to let people in but Leo had been the most trustworthy bouncer I had. Well, I thought he was.
