“Iappreciate the gesture, but I have a friend picking me up.”
Sheis not a good liar. “At midnight?”
“Youaren’t the only night owl in the city, you know.” Fine. Let her take the damncab. I shouldn’t care anyway.
“Suityourself. I’ll leave you to it.”
Idon’t know why it annoys the shit out of me that she won’t let me help her, butit does. It shows me again that I’m spending too much time with her. A nightout is exactly what I need. A few drinks, a game or two of pool, and a hotwoman to fuck away my stress.
Dareand Jeremy meet me at a bar near Dare’s apartment. It’s a decent place with alarge room full of pool tables in the back. A cute waitress brings us all abeer and a shot while Jeremy racks up for the first game.
“Who’sgetting his ass kicked first?” Jeremy taunts.
“I’vegot first,” Dare replies, grabbing a cue. “Justus will be here in a few and youcan teach him a lesson,” he says to me.
“Aslong as he doesn’t show up in his little stripper clothes.”
Darelaughs. “I think he’s off tonight. So, how are things going with that sexylittle maid of yours? You fuck her yet?”
“You’refucking your maid?” Jeremy asks as the waitress returns with our drinks.
“No,assholes. I haven’t touched her, and I’m not going to. And neither are you,” Itell Dare as a smile spreads across his face. The waitress laughs and bats hereyes at me. She’s a cute little thing. Petite with big brown eyes. Turning toher, I give her a crooked smile. “What’s your name, baby?”
“Trisha,”she giggles.
“Well,tell these two that sleeping with an employee is a huge mistake.”
“Probablynot a good idea,” she agrees, laying a hand on my arm.
“Goodthing you don’t work for me. What time do you get off tonight?”
“Dependson how good you are, doesn’t it?”
Andit’s just that easy. Or she is. “I’m way beyond good, lady.”
“I’moff at eleven-thirty.”
“I’llbe here.” She smiles from ear to ear and sashays off, swinging her hips.
“Well,that took all of five minutes,” Justus laughs. I hadn’t even noticed himapproach behind me.
“AndI didn’t even have to strip and shake my ass.”
“You’rejust jealous that women pay to touch me.”
“Justrack them up, Magic Mike.”
Wespend the next few hours playing pool, drinking, and fucking around. Trishacomes by every chance she gets to flirt and rub against me until the clockfinally reaches half past eleven. “Your place?” she suggests.
“Sure,you drive. I’ve had a few.”
“Noproblem.”

Relieffloods through me when Landon leaves for the night. I shouldn’t feel that way.He’s been so nice to me, loaning me the truck and everything, but I see how helooks at me. Why does he have to be so damn gorgeous? Any other man, I couldput in his place, but when he smiles that crooked smile, I feel like a hornysixteen year old with a crush.
