Page 34 of Claiming Atlas
I block her out and look back at the table across from mine. Fate put me and Kincaid Summers at the same place at the same time, and I don’t fuck with fate. Time to cross the best stripper in Vegas off my bucket list. Her friends throw money down on the tab, then start getting up to leave. Shit. This is my chance, and I’m wasting it. I walk over to their booth as the last girl steps out of it.
“Hey,” I say to the redhead. She’s all legs, too, like Kincaid only hangs out with girls that are over five foot ten.
I grab her elbow when she doesn’t turn around.
She turns back to me, slowly, then settles her gaze on my hand on her elbow.
“Sorry.” I drop my hand. “You didn’t hear me say hello.”
She looks me up and down, then smiles as she meets my gaze. “She left already, hon.”
I try to play it cool—Atlas Reynolds doesn’t chase after girls. “I told her I’d get all of you on the list at XS,” I lie, “but I forgot her name.”
The chick smirks, like she doesn’t believe a thing I just said. “Well, you’re determined; I’ll give you that much.”
A dude steps up behind her and slides a hand around her waist, looking down at me as he does so.
Should I tell him we don’t need to whip our cocks out for a measuring contest right now? If I wanted his girl, I’d already have her.
“My name is Lexi. There are twelve of us.” She winks and turns away from me, leaving me standing here like fucking tool, and she still hasn’t confirmed if her friend is Kincaid Summers.
God. Iama fucking tool.
Top Tier’s headliner better be worth this headache.
Chapter Fifteen
Kayla
Lexi and her guy climb on the bus last, then announce that they’re picking the next club. Fine by me. I don’t care where we go, as long asAtlas Reynoldsisn’t flashing across the marquee. What an arrogant asshole.
I can’t believe I turned him down.
“I can’t believe you turned him down.”
I laugh and look at Scarlet as her words mirror my thoughts. “Me neither.”
