I’m grinning like a moron, and I don’t even care.

His gaze stripped me bare when I dressed for tonight, my mermaid-inspired getup an homage to the water-themed club, with a cropped, lilac lace top that leaves my navel exposed and green pants that hug my hips and butt.

My body tingles with anticipation because after my set, I have more to go home to than a hot bath and a sleepless night.

I have a man who loves me.

Two years ago, all I wanted was to play La Mer, but I didn’t realize who I’d become in making that dream come true.

Now, I’m in love with the man who owns it.

A trustee in charge of Mischa’s business assets until Eva’s unborn child can inherit decided La Mer was too huge to run effectively and should be sold to an attractive buyer.

Good thing an attractive buyer was available.

Very attractive, if I may say so. But I’m biased because every night, he wraps those very attractive arms around me.

I wrap my set to screams and applause and head out of the booth. After, I’m lingering with fans to take selfies when my phone buzzes.

Harrison: Come find me.

I shake my head, typing back with a grin.

Rae: A little busy. Why don’t you come find me?

A few moments later, there’s a response.

Harrison: Because if I come find you, I’ll drag you into the nearest corner and fuck you senseless. I don’t care who’s watching.

I’m already damp with sweat, but now my panties are sticking even more.

When I’m good and ready, I weave my way toward his booth.

As if he feels my presence, he turns and reaches for my hand.

“Gentlemen,” he says. “This is Raegan Madani. My...”

He trails off, and I look up, arching a brow.

He typically introduces me as his girlfriend. Though we think of ourselves as partners, it’s a possessive thing for him, and I don’t hate it.

But now, he doesn’t say anything.

I’m spared overthinking it when men whisper-shout compliments on the show.

A booth girl shows up and begins pouring Dom, handing out glasses starting with me.

“Raegan“—Harrison takes his own glass and lifts it—“these gentlemen have agreed to invest in an expansion of Echo Entertainment in America.” He pauses, and I see the emotion behind his eyes. “We’re going to rebuild Kings.”

My heart kicks hard in my chest as he clinks his glass to mine.

I ignore the champagne and press up on my toes to kiss him hard. “Hell yes,” I tell him with a grin.

When he tugs me against his side, stroking a hand down my back to my ass where they can’t see, my happiness is overtaken by a sudden jolt of arousal.

“Perhaps we can talk her into an exclusive partnership next year,” another man suggests.

I raise a brow. “Unfortunately, that’s going to be impossible.”
