Carina laid her forehead on the table. He sent a tail on us? I didn’t know what was so funny about it but I found myself doubled over but instead of in embarrassment, it was amusement. This entire thing was incredible. After she said that, I couldn’t help but enjoy myself. Most of the eye candy was not interested in us, which was fine by me. They seemed more focused on the older women.

Sugar mommas.

Nana sat up from her lounging position and eyed us both. “This is a bit boring. Why don’t we go have some fun?”

Carina lifted her head from the table and shot me a look. I grinned. This was the best night ever.

Chapter Forty-Two

Audrey

I would have been lyingto say it took me three bourbons to get me on the stage with a bunch of male strippers but it wouldn’t have been the truth. I missed this, I missed me, and getting on that stage with a male stripper was everything I missed even more.

The man washottoo. Not Alexei hot, but certainly hotter than any man I’d ever gone to school with or even passed on the street. This man made many women’s fantasies come to life and his moves were enough to entice daydreaming. When his hand wrapped around the back of my neck while he ground on me, I almost closed my eyes. I almost reveled in it but I was on a stage surrounded by hundreds of women, my best friend, and thegrannies.

They were actually the ones who shoved me up onto the stage and gave death glares to the women trying to get up there before me. I was pretty sure Grandmother even whacked a few with her cane to keep them from getting near the stage. When the dancer’s hips came in contact with mine, it was the closest thing I had to an orgasm without a toy in years. My eyes rolled back in my head as he spun me around and did some more grinding.

Was this heaven? I was pretty sure it was close. I wascloseand just when I thought I would combust— it was over and I was blinking into the spotlight, remembering exactly where I was.

Heat flushed my face as I was ushered off of the stage. I glanced over my shoulder and the man that was grinding on me held his fingers up to the side of his head in the shape of a phone. I was sure I was as red as a tomato as I stumbled down to my seat.

Carina’s phone was held up videoing the entire thing. A giant grin was spread across her face. Oh gosh, everyone back at my old home would see this. I grinned back at her.

Good.

“Oh my gosh!!!” She yelled over the music. “Are you going to follow him on Instagram?”

I looked back at the stage and he still hadn’t taken his eyes off of me. His skin was light but his hair was as dark as night. He was the best dancer out of all of them on stage. A grin split my lips again. Was this really my life?

Strippers in NYC and grannies who took you to banana hammock restaurants? I couldn’t believe it. Not a single bit.

“I bet,” Carina yelled again. “He would take you home tonight!”

I laughed. “I live with you! I couldn’t ever bring someone back there!”

“Ohhh, I bet it would impress him!”

“I’m not looking to impress anyone, especially with things that don’t belong to me!”

She shrugged as if it didn’t matter. For me, sex wasn’t just sex, even if it did sound nice to have an orgasm. Even if it did sound nice to finally go off the deep end and do something that was totally notme.

“I think you should fuck him,” Nana shout-whispered next to me and Carina bent over at the waist laughing.

Oh man.Oh man.

After a couple of hundred dollars worth of dollar bills, there was a commotion at the back of the room and my stomach sank. I knew immediately what was happening. The music was shut off and the guys on stage shuffled to the back and then there was Ace like a dark knight.

He stalked down the aisle with a look of murder on his face. And right behind him? Alexei.. with the same look.

I groaned. Even if I had wanted to go home with hottie on the stage, it would not be happening now. Buzzkills.

“This is all your fault,” I whispered to my best friend.

She gave me a forced grin. “Just act natural.”

“Natural?” They were getting closer now and we both had wads of ones in our hands. We shoved the money at the grannies and they cackled. Theyopenlycackled. Oh, this was great.

Everyone was filing out of the room now but that didn’t stop the two brothers from stalking toward us. No, the people simply milled around them like they were parting the sea. If it wasn’t so terrifying, I would have thought it comical. There was nothing comical about their expressions.
