Win win.

"Enough about that," I said, waving a hand. "Let's have more drinks and get back to dancing." I pulled out some money. "Let's go!"

All three of them whooped right along with me. We slammed our drinks, paid for more, and before long we were back on the dance floor. I forgot every last one of my troubles as I fooled around with them. Sayge showed me how to dance like him and I completely gave into the fun.

"What are you three doing?" A voice growled.

All of us stopped at the same time. Sayge, Dar, and Calvin looked sheepish as they stared at the man who looked at them with a raised eyebrow. From the look on their faces, I could tell who it was.

"Jack," Sayge said, waving a hand toward him, "this is Elio. Our Daddy," he said, shoving his chest out proudly. "And we're probably in trouble, huh?"

"Did you ignore my texts?" Elio asked.

"Yeah," Dar grinned. "Sayge said it would probably be a lot more fun if we-."

Sayge elbowed Dar. "Shut up," he hissed. "Sorry, Daddy." He said as he blinked up at Elio. "We just wanted to have some fun."

"Uh huh." Elio's eyes traveled over me making a shiver run up my spine. "Jack," he said. "Have you been drinking like the three of them?"

"Yes," I muttered, shifting from one foot to the other.

"Do you have a way home?"

I shook my head. "I guess I really didn't think about it..."

"Come along," Elio sighed. "Let's get you back to your parents."

Sayge cackled. "Not his parents. His Daddies," he teased.

"They're not!"

"Yeah they are," Dar said as he draped an arm over my shoulders.

"Dar, remove your arm," Elio growled.

He tightened his hold. "Why?"

I wriggled out of his arm. Nope, that man had a look on his face that made my stomach tighten into a thousand knots. Dar could play with him all he wanted, but I valued being in one piece above anything else.

"I'll deal with you later," Elio said to Dar before he waved a hand. "Let's go."

I downed the last of my drink before I tossed the cup in the trash. We exited the club into what was now the freezing cold. I wrapped my arms around myself.

"Shit," I swore. "It's cold as fuck."

"Yep, that's the dessert," Calvin said with a nod. "Where's your hoodie?"

I genuinely had no idea. My head was swimming, my body running between hot and cold as the liquor made my bladder feel like it was going to burst. I shrugged at Calvin.

"No idea. Gotta pee!"

I made a beeline around the building and unzipped. As soon as I started peeing, relief blanketed me.Where the hell did I put that hoodie?I really had no clue. I was too drunk.Shit, I should have paid attention.

I zipped up my pants and froze. The back of my neck tingled like someone was staring at me. I turned on my heels. The alley was empty, no one in sight. My eyes swept over it, every hair on the back of my neck on edge.

"You finished?"

I nearly jumped out of my skin. Sayge stared at me down the alley, waiting. I glanced around before I nodded.
