A beautiful woman stops at the bar and smiles at me, so I give her a smile in return before I explain to Cade how full of shit he is. “First off, I can’t help it that Grandma likes me best. It’s the name. You name someone after her and she’s going to like them more than anyone else. Second, my parents and everyone else don’t think of me like that. I just benefit from the fact that you,Liam, Wilder, and Cash tend to do things that make them worry. The trick that none of you have ever understood is to not let your family know what you’re up to. Trust me. If my mother or anyone in the March clan knew what I do in my spare time, they would be up one side of me and down the other. Since I know that, I don’t let them know a damn thing. As for everything going my way, well, I can’t help that. It’s not like you’ve spent your entire life suffering, though, Cade, so it seems pretty fucking rich having you tell me all of this.”

Another Club X employee interrupts our conversation with some problem that requires Cade’s immediate attention, leaving me alone at the bar with the gorgeous redhead still standing next to me. I have no drink to enjoy, so I turn to face her, happy to pass the time making small talk.

“I’m guessing you and the bartender know each other by what you were saying?” she asks while she reaches her hand out to touch my arm.

“Yeah. He’s my cousin. I’m Alex. Alex March,” I say with a smile.

The woman moves her hand from my forearm to shake my hand and says, “Nice to meet you, Alex. I’m Kitty.”

Kitty. As in pussycat and not that harpy Kat from that damn reality show. Not that I didn’t like this woman before finding out her name, but I like her even more now. On top of that, she’s not arguing or accusing me of being something I’m not, so Kitty might be my favorite person at this moment.

“Nice to meet you, Kitty. Are you here alone?” I ask, glancing over her shoulder to see if there’s someone with her tonight.

She looks past me toward the dance floor downstairs and points toward a woman dancing alone. As beautiful as her friend next to me, she’s got long black hair and a smoking hot body just like Kitty.

“I’m here with my friend. Her name is Piper. We saw you when you walked in and hoped to talk to you, but you and your cousin took off to come up here. I figured I’d come up to see if you wanted to hang out and have a good time.”

Kitty and Piper, my two new favorite people on the planet.

“I like how you think. What did you have in mind?” I ask, silently thanking God for delivering me two beautiful women tonight.

Leaning in toward me, she touches my shoulder as she says in my ear, “We like to do everything together. If you like, we can all go back to my place.”

The delicate scent of her flowery perfume fills my nose as my pulse quickens from her offer. She has no idea how much I like the idea of us all getting together at her place.

When she steps back, I nod, barely able to keep the smile off my face at what’s waiting for me in just a little while. “Together sounds like just what I want tonight. Give me a couple minutes and I’ll join you two downstairs.”

Kitty trails her fingertips down over my bicep to my elbow before giving my forearm a gentle squeeze. Desire dances in her green eyes when she says, “Great! I’ll tell Piper. See you in a few, Alex.”

As I watch her walk away, Cade jabs me in the left arm with a goddamned swizzle stick. Turning to glare at him, I say, “What’s wrong with you? And when the hell did you get back?”

“Right around the time that hot redhead was asking if you’re interested in doing her and her friend tonight. A threesome? How typically Alex and how perfect considering what we were just talking about.”

I look over the railing and see Kitty and Piper staring up at me wearing big smiles. Glancing back at Cade, I chuckle at his insistence that this is typical for me. It’s not every night I sleep with two women. That’s more of a special occasion kind of thing.

“Jealous much?”

“Not me. Remember, I have the woman I want. But this is exactly why people are jealous of you.”

“Cade, after the shitty day I had and then the phone call from the producers telling me they want the bad blood between me and the queen bitch of cooking to continue, I deserve something nice and easy.”

“Or two, it seems,” he says with a sly grin.

I look down at my two new friends and feel my cock get hard. “Or two.”

“So the show wants you to fight with this Kat person? Do they know you’re a lover and not a fighter?”

I shrug, unsure what the hell the producers know about me. If they asked around, they’d find out I don’t like going toe to toe with people. I don’t relish rancor in any form at work or in my personal life, but if it means I can win this competition and get the million dollars, then I’ll have to put that aside, at least for a few weeks.

“That doesn’t seem to matter to them. They want conflict, so that’s what they’ll get. For tonight, though, I want nothing but willing women interested in having a good time. Try not to be too jealous of me, Cade.”

He shakes his head like I’m doing something wrong sleeping with Kitty and Piper. “No jealousy here, dude. I’m a happy man with the woman of my dreams. Maybe that’ll be you someday.”

That doesn’t warrant a response, so I simply roll my eyes and turn to head down to join my two new favorite people. Tonight isn’t about the woman of my dreams. No, tonight is about living out fantasies, and Kitty and Piper can look forward to a good time from me.

A man needs a way to blow off steam, and what’s better to forget a bad day than two beautiful women naked beneath me?
