She sinks another easy shot, then gets the cue-ball in a predicament. She bites her plump bottom lip, and I can’t take my eyes off her. She bends to make a shot, and her cute ass is aimed directly at me. Moving the cue back, she peers over her shoulder and catches me checking out her ass. I glance up to see one brow cocked, and I smile.

“Want some help with that? It’s a tricky shot.”

“Sure, if you’re offering.”

I lean and wrap around her, my left hand guiding hers on the felt, changing the position of her right hand and the angle of the cue. Then I whisper in her ear. “Hit it gentle, now.”

I back off, and she makes the shot, then turns and bounces on her feet.

“I did it.”

“You did. Keep going.”

She scratches on the next shot, and I run the table on her. I don’t know if she was expecting me to let her win, but she seems to admire my skills.

“You’re really good at this, huh?”

“I’ve had a lot of practice.”

She eyes the electronic dart board in the corner. “What about that?”

“You want to play?”

“Sure.”

It doesn’t take me long to figure out she’s played before. “The girl’s got skills. I’m impressed. Where’d you learn darts?”

“College. Seemed like every bar on campus had one of these.”

“You play for money?”

“No, of course not.”

“Beer?”

She grins. “Maybe.”

“A-ha. I knew it.”

“You know nothing.” She gives me a sassy smile.

No, but I want to. I want to know everything about this girl. And I don’t want to be apart from her. Even being across the clubhouse in plain sight of her was killing me. She’s quickly becoming an obsession, and I know it. I’m just not sure how to handle it.

My eyes flick across the room, and I catch the girls watching us with knowing smiles.

Elaina asks where the bathroom is. I point her in the right direction, and Trez wanders over.

“You see who’s watching you two?” His grin makes me want to punch him.

“Yeah. Christ. That can’t be good.”

He chuckles. “Never good to have the ol’ ladies all up in your shit.”

“I can only imagine what they’re going to fill her head with when they take her out. Makes me want to sabotage their day… Not because I don’t want Elaina to befriend them. I do.”

“Right.”

“Okay, maybe I’m a selfish jerk, but I don’t want them fucking up whatever this is before I can figure out whatever it is.”
