I looked out at the city, wondering what West and the rest of the guys were up to tonight, but instead found myself curious as to how I could get the two in the car to come with me instead.

“We?”Zac, of course, was the first to try to make me see sense. “Not sure how that’s going to work. It’s not like we can just rock up somewhere and all have a meal.” He looked over his shoulder to me. “The paparazzi are just waiting for you to reappear on the social scene. How do you think it’s going to look when your first appearance is hanging out with a professor from Astor and his TA?”

I batted my lashes at Zac’s all-too-serious expression. He was being a total downer right now. “Like I’m furthering my education.”

King’s deep chuckle filled the vehicle as his eyes found mine in the rearview mirror. “Yes, I’m sure that would be a completely believable story.”

“I mean, it would be, if you weren’t so fuckin’ hot.”

“Am I supposed to apologize for that?” King responded.

“No, but maybe we could dress you in a tweed suit and a bowler hat to lessen suspicion that I’m spending every night in your bed.”

Zac snorted, and I turned his way.

“And you?Youneed to stop looking at the both of us like you’re remembering the way you fell asleep between us—naked.”

Zac’s cheeks colored. “I don’t do that.”

“Yes you do.”

Zac looked at King and licked along his bottom lip.

“See? You’re doing it right fucking now. God, you have the worst poker face.”

“How about this,” King said, reaching across the console to squeeze Zac’s thigh. “You two go out, and East, invite your friends. I have a place, Limitless, and it’s?—”

“Only the hottest club in the city right now.” I shook my head, still not used to the fact that Professor Kingston was actually the head of TerraKohr, and owner of practically every hotspot in New York—not to mention around the world.

“That’s right. I can get you in privately and have them set up a space for you and your friends. No press, no prying eyes. You’ll be taken care of from the second you walk in.”

That all sounded pretty damn amazing, except for one thing. “You won’t be there?”

“I don’t think that’s very?—”

“Smart?” Zac and I said in unison.

“Exactly. But your friends, they know about Zac. It won’t be too much of a shock to see him there with you.”

I raised a brow at Zac. “So? Are you down for a night of debauchery with me?”

“And the rest of the Park Avenue Princes?”

“I didn’t realize you were part of our fan club.”

A slow, sexy smile curved Zac’s lips. “I might be a fan of yours.”

“Might? Is there anything I can do to tip your vote?”

“Yes, but you won’t want to do that in front of your friends.”

“On the contrary,Zacharius, that’s exactly the kind of debauchery I prefer to get into.”

“EVERYONE OPEN WIDE.” I stood up on the VIP table and held up the bottle of Mandala Tequila. “Caleb, don’t be a pussy—get your ass over here.”

“You’re a bad influence,” he grumbled, but made his way to where my friends were all gathered around. “But just this once.”

“Can’t stop, won’t stop,” I said, grinning wide as I went down the line and poured the liquid into each of their greedy, waiting mouths.
