There, in a booth in the back corner, were Lacie and Veronica. It was as if the stars had aligned just for us. I elbowed Maddox and nodded to the girls, raising an eyebrow.
“Well,” he said. “This night just got better.”
I nodded to Mickey, striding to the bar. “Two beers and whatever this girls are drinking.”
Mickey grinned. “You got it, boys. Just finished rehearsal? When’s the new album coming out?”
“End of the week,” I replied, keeping my eyes on Veronica.
“Well, be sure to drop a couple copies off here,” he said. “I’ll sell ‘em for you.”
I chuckled. At this point, I’d take any sale I could get. “Will do, Mickey.” He handed us the drinks, and Maddox and I walked towards the table.
My cock throbbed between my legs with every step, and my mouth suddenly went dry. Was I nervous? I hadn’t been nervous around a woman in a long, long time.
Maddox dropped Lacie’s drink on the table.
“Here,” he said. “To a successful working relationship.”
Veronica’s eyes landed on the drink I held out for her, and then travelled up to my face. Her eyes widened and her mouth dropped open in the sexiest way. My cock strained against my pants as she reached for the drink. Her fingers brushed against mine, and the sizzle of electricity sparked between us.
“Thanks,” she whispered.
“What are you ladies doing in a place like this?” Maddox asked grinning at Lacie.
“Just putting some finishing touches on the plan for tomorrow,” she replied. Veronica’s tongue darted out to lick her lips, and then she curled them around the straw and took a sip of her drink.
I nearly died. The desire coursing through my veins was almost too much to handle. We both slid into the booth beside the girls, and Maddox turned to Lacie. He said a few things to her, but I didn’t hear any of it.
I nodded around the bar. “Is this your kind of place?” I asked.
Veronica smiled, and my heart thumped. “Maybe it is,” she replied, quirking her eyebrow. “What if it was?”
“That would tell me a lot about you as a person.”
“Like what?” Her voice was breathy, and her eyes were deep pools of amber. A blush stained her cheeks and I resisted the urge to run my fingers down her side. I settle for draping my arm over her shoulders and stretching out in the booth.
“Well,” I started, trying to ignore the feeling of her thigh against mine. “It would tell me that you don’t necessarily judge things by their appearance.”
A smile started spreading over her lips. “Okay,” she said, taking another sip of her drink. “What else?”
Her eyes flashed, and in that moment I knew I had to have her. It didn’t matter that we were supposed to work together. It didn’t matter that she was supposed to be part of the team to turn our careers around. It didn’t matter that I was getting a divorce, or that I was almost broke.
All that mattered was the sexiest woman I’d ever seen was inches away from me. Her perfume was driving me wild, and I could see the untethered desire burning in her eyes. My body was aching for her, and I wouldn’t be waiting to claim her.
She would be mine.
“It tells me that you’re not afraid to try something new.”
Her eyebrows raised and she laughed, tilting her head to the side. “Well, that’s true.” She grinned again and her eyes flashed in that way that made the cum in my balls churn. “Are you going to be the one to show me something new?”
“Only if you want me to.”
She inhaled, catching her lip between her teeth. She stared at me for a long moment and finally grinned.
“I think I want you to.”
