“No way, Vick. I don’t want to be a third wheel,” she said shaking her head continuously.
“Don’t be ridiculous, besides I have an idea,” I drawled.
“Oh yeah, what?” She looked at me intrigued and I could only imagine she had a party on her mind. “How are the parties here? Are they as good as back home?” she asked with excitement in her tone. Yup, I knew it!
“Ness, I’m not doing parties anymore, I told Luc that I would try the relationship thing with him,” I explained hesitantly. I knew she would feel like she was losing her party mate but there was more to our friendship than parties anyway. As I predicted she pouted.
“I told you I have an idea, we are going on a double date,” I giggled like a schoolgirl. I, Vicky Molino, am giddy.
“Excuse me, Vick, did I hear you right?” she asked, widening her bright blue eyes. Without the heavy black makeup around her eyes and the jet-black hair she actually looked like a southern belle. I was still trying to get used to this new look, she was beautiful and sexy either way, this was just different.
“I have a cousin I met today, he seemed nice. I am going to ask Luc to see if Brad wants to join us for dinner. He knows I’m Bryce’s daughter. Bryce sent him to me because he ditched me for lunch today.”
“I’m sorry, Vick,” Nessa said, placing an arm on my shoulder trying to gauge my emotions.
“No worries, Bryce is a busy man, I am trying to understand,” I said, while I typed a text to Luc on my phone. His response was just as funny as Nessa’s. Brad was a womanizer and he asked if I was sure I wanted to expose Nessa to him. To me, Brad seemed kind and friendly and we shared a similar past. The four of us had been orphaned even though for Luc and I, we were grown up when it happened.
Me: Luc please just set this up. It will be fun!
Luc: Anything for you pretty girl.
I stood up from the couch and rolled my eyes at his text, even though it caused a warm delicious feeling to circulate through my body.
“Okay, I am going to take a shower, Ness, did you settle into the empty room?”
“Yeah, I didn’t bring much with me but it’s all in bedroom one, I’ve showered already. Do I need to change into a dress or something?” she said, looking down to her ripped jeans and t-shirt.
“Uh maybe, yeah… but nothing too slutty, Ness, you know how it is on this end of town,” I said referring to the richer end of town. Even the sex parties had been classy.
“You got it, babe, I will go change,” she huffed. “Who would have thought I would be blonde and double dating,” she called out as she left the main room. I threw my head back laughing because if anyone would have bet me that this is where I would be a month ago, I would have told them they were batshit crazy.

Not even an hour later, Luc was knocking on the door dressed in the black leather jacket that he wore the first night we met. As I leaned in to kiss him the smell of the leather wafted up my nose, boosting my libido into overdrive. How was I going to get through an evening on a double date without having to jump his bones?
A moment later Nessa came out to the main room, her blonde hair blown out and wearing a purple slinky dress.
“Luc, this is my friend Nessa from back home,” I said introducing the two of them.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Luc,” Nessa said, extending her hand. Luc shook her hand in return.
“Nice to meet you,” he replied with his raspy accent. Nessa looked over to me approvingly, and I couldn’t help the giggle that erupted in my chest. A moment later we had grabbed our jackets and went down to the black SUV that was parked in its usual spot in front of the building. The drive to the restaurant was quiet and I could feel Luc’s heated gaze on me the whole time. When he took my hand in his, I gave it to him willingly. The SUV stopped in front of a posh bar and Luc continued to hold my hand as we made our way to the front door. It was a cool night with a brisk wind and as usual the streets of Manhattan were bustling. A moment later another black SUV pulled up to the curb and Brad stepped out. He looked like he was ready for a night on the town in a white button down shirt that was fitted to his muscular body. The first couple buttons had been purposefully left open revealing a sculpted chest. He looked smart with a pair of slim black dress pants. His blue eyes gleamed in the darkness as he saw Luc, Nessa, and I standing out front waiting for him.
“Hey, Vicky,” he leaned in to give me a kiss on the cheek.
Then he smacked Luc on the shoulder, “Hey, big man,” he chuckled.
“Brad this is my friend from back home, Nessa, this is cousin Brad,” I said, making the introductions.
Brad took her hand and brought it up to his lips. “A pleasure, Nessa,” he said while his eyes raked over every inch of her body. Inwardly I was patting myself on the back. They made for a good-looking couple.
“Nice to meet you, Brad,” Nessa responded with a cool tone as if she wasn’t affected by his hotness or suave ways. I knew better.
“Shall we?” Brad said, opening the front door and motioning for us all to enter. The place was beautiful. Everything was white and shiny with purple fluorescent lighting that radiated off the white furniture giving the place a funky glow. The place was jam packed with people but the hostess showed us to our table right away.
“This way, Brad,” she said as she walked us to a table at the center of the room. She was practically undressing Brad with her eyes. She placed menus on the table and walked away while her eyes stayed glued on Brad. Luc mouthed, I told you so, to me. I threw back my head laughing. Then I nodded my head letting him know that all would be okay.
“What are you ladies drinking tonight?” Brad asked.
“I’ll have a Cosmo,” I responded. Then I wasn’t so sure it was a good idea because Luc didn’t drink. “Are you okay with me drinking?” I whispered in his ear. He turned his head so his lips were grazing my ear. The contact sent shivers down my neck.
“Yes, you are a big girl and if you want to drink then drink,” he whispered back, while placing his hand on my thigh under the table.
“I’ll have a Cosmo too.” Nessa smiled.
The waitress came around and Brad ordered the drinks for everyone like he was in charge. I noticed Nessa’s eyes sparkle as she watched him in action. The waitress brought around our drinks and a sparkling water for Luc. Then we ordered a bunch of appetizers from the menu. The place was nice with upbeat music and a large dance floor off to the back. The four of us sat enjoying the food, the drinks, and the company.
“You want to dance, Nessa?” Brad asked looking to her. He had already stood up so either he knew she would say yes or he was going to dance without her anyway.
“Sure,” Nessa replied extending her hand as she stood up from the table. Luc’s hand continued to rub my thigh, only now he was moving up and my heart rate accelerated with each inch he got closer to the apex of my thighs.
“Luc,” I breathed out.
“Let’s get out of here,” he responded with a hoarse voice.
“You’re okay with this?” I suddenly asked. Me, who didn’t think twice about sleeping with strangers, was considering his feelings. “What changed from this morning?” I asked, remembering his fingers running over my scalp. He wouldn’t touch anything but my head.
“I had all morning to think. You know the truth about me and you haven’t run away…I know what you need, and although I do believe I’m not good enough for you, I’ve always been selfish when I want something. Right now I want you, I need to bury my dick so deep inside you that I can’t focus on anything else right now,” he exclaimed, as his finger gently rubbed my clitoris through my panties. I was a hot pool of desire in the center of the restaurant. “If you don’t leave with me now, I will make you come here,” he said with his voice filled with promise. Holy hell, he’s so damn intense.
