He leads me to the back of the VIP area. There's a roped off area with a NO ENTRANCE sign. He scans the room. A cocktail waitress has her eyes on us. More likely, she has her eyes on him. She licks her lips hungrily.
He could easily take her home. But he looks at her with apathy. He doesn't want her. He doesn't want any of the gorgeous models in this place.
He wants me.
Pete leans in to whisper. "Wait for me on the balcony. I'll lose her." He motions to the closed door in the corner of the roped off area.
He wants to do this on a balcony? Damn. First the bar bathroom then this. He has a thing for public sex.
I should say no. I'm going to be a lawyer. I can't get caught having sex in public.
I try to force the word to my lips but it refuses. "What if we get caught?"
"This is private property. They'll ask us to leave. That will be it." His eyes meet mine. "We can hold off till we get back to your place."
I shake my head. I don't want to hold off. I want him. Now.
I trust his assessment of the situation.
"No. Let's do it now," I say.
He nods.
I wait for him to grab the waitress's attention and I sneak past the velvet rope. The door to the balcony is frosted glass. You can't see in or out. I turn the handle and check my footing. All good.
We're overlooking the alley. No one can see us, not from the street, not from the club.
No one is going to catch us. Not on camera—it's too dark for that.
Thoughts swirl around my brain. I like Pete. Find him interesting. Hell, find him fascinating.
Can I play his girlfriend without falling in love with him?
I press my hands into the smooth metal railing. It's the only cold thing here. The sounds of the street—conversations and cars—flow into my ears, competing with the music coming from the club.
There’s only one thing I know: I can't leave without being with him.
Period.
