I'm trying to let her off easy, but it's clear she doesn't like it. She starts to cry harder and opens her mouth, which makes me think she's trying to beg for another chance, but when I shake my head and take a step back, she gives me a dirty look and storms off.

“Come on, dude. Couldn’t you have just entertained her for one more night?” Nick asks.

“This is my club opening just as much as yours, Nick. I want to be able to do what I want tonight,” I say, trying to reason with him.

Lily shakes her head before leaving the group, probably to find Jenny. Nick follows behind like a lost puppy.

This is going to be a long night.

SEVEN

RYKER

I fucking jinxed myself. Tonight has been an absolute whirlwind. The DJ we picked is on a roll, and everyone is having a great time. I’ve already seen some people head back towards the bedrooms. Some even leave with their one-night stands. And others are just enjoying the ambience. I haven’t been able to spend any time with Thea since they arrived. Nor have I seen Nick. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen Lily either. I swear to fuck if Nick is fucking Lily in one of the rooms while I’m out here meeting people to pushourbusiness, I’m going to go batshit crazy on him.

I finally have a chance to sit at a booth and have another scotch, when a pair of hands cover my eyes from behind and an unmistakable voice whispers in my ear, “Guess who?”

“Hmm… Katy Perry?” I tease.

“Not quite.” She giggles.

“Oh, I know! Megan Fox.”

“Really?” Her tone turns sour at the mention of the celebrity I’ve been dreaming of since I was young.

I chuckle. “I’m just teasing. It’s the woman who’s owned my heart since I was ten. My little tigress.”

“Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner.” Thea removes her hands from my eyes and comes around to face me. Grabbing her by the waist, I pull her to my lap then crush my lips to hers. She kisses me back, but only for a moment before she pulls away.

“Stand up. We’re going on an adventure,” I whisper into her ear. When we stand, I lace my fingers through hers and pull her towards the bedrooms. Pushing through the door, I make my way down the hall and around the corner. This room was originally going to be a storage closet, but the more I thought about it, I thought it would be best to create a space for me personally. Nick has his own room here, so I thought why couldn’t I do the same? I made sure it locked from the inside and kept the key to get in my pocket. Unlocking the door, I allow Thea to walk in first while downing the rest of my scotch, only leaving the ice.

“Ryker…it’s beautiful. This is…wow…incredible.” Thea’s astonishment makes my palms sweat. I worked so hard on this room for us, so I’m happy she likes it.. I’d spoken privately with Roxy to make this room for us, and she delivered. I made sure to ask for silk sheets for the bed and nice bubble bath in hopes Thea would appreciate it

The walls are a deep red with black trim, a king-sized bed is positioned in the middle of the room and has red and black pillows, and a small dresser on the wall faces the bed. A small bathroom is attached, but that door is shut for now. Lanterns line the floorboards just like the hallway. It made the ambiance romantic and warm. Standing in the doorway, I observe Thea while she wanders the room. Finally seeing her in this room has my dick twitching in my pants. Fuck, I need to get her on that bed.

Like she is reading my thoughts, Thea turns to sit on the edge of the bed, causing the slits in her dress to fall to either side of her. I reach down to rearrange my dick that’s straining against the zipper of my slacks. She looks gorgeous.

“Are you going to stand in the doorway all night, or are you going to come in?” Thea questions, pure sass in her tone.

“Better watch that mouth of yours, tigress,” I say, closing the door behind me. I walk deeper into the room until I reach the end of the bed to stand between her legs.

She tilts her head up to look me in the eye, a twinkle of mischief hidden in her gaze. “Or what?” she asks definitely.

I reach up, tangling my hand into her hair and pulling it tight, resulting in a breathy moan from Thea. “Don’t tempt me, little one. I have the evening planned out, and I’d rather not change those plans to teach you to behave. Now, strip and lie back,” I order, releasing her hair and stepping back. Turning, I place my empty glass on the dresser and unbutton my shirt and slip it off. Opening the top drawer, I pull out my surprise for Thea. Candles.

I turn back around with the candles and a lighter in hand to see her lying naked on the bed with her back against the pillows, just like I’d asked. “Good girl. Tonight is all about following directions, baby. If at any point you’re uncomfortable, just say ghost and hold out your pinky finger.”

A small smile touches her lips. “Just like when we were kids. What’s the candle for?”

“You’ll find out.” As I stalk around the bed, I reach out a hand, allowing it to travel up her inner leg, up her thigh, and stopping just before touching her pussy. Her inner thigh is wet from her arousal. Now, seeing her this way, my dick is desperate to be inside her.

“Wet for me, princess?” My voice has dropped an octave.

She whimpers and squirms under my touch, trying to scoot her body down so my fingers brush against her pussy.

Chuckling, I say, “So eager. Too bad we’re on my terms.” I withdraw my hand and decide to light the candle I’m holding.

“Please, Ryker,” she begs with another whimper.
