Page 6 of Sinful Promise

All the blood rushes to my cock, and that has me blinking out of my fantasy.

Fuck. I need to get laid.

“Stay here.” I turn and dive into the sea of drunken patrons.

Anton has done an incredible job withEspionage. The place is always busy, no matter the day or time, and since I’ve come on as manager, we’ve been in talks about opening up another location.

Perhaps if I do a good enough job here, he might let me take over the new location. Or I could step away completely and open up a place of my own.

I can’t deny how much it would mean to step out of my family’s shadow and prove that I’m more than just my name. It’s one of the main reasons why I went to university and got a BA in business as well as an MA.

As I approach the bar, I notice my best friend, Luca, chatting up a group of girls who barely look old enough to be in here.

I make a mental note to speak to Reid on the door on my way out. He’s a trustworthy guy, but some of the fakes out there now are so convincing that it takes an actual ID scanner to pick up on the discrepancies.

I’ve been trying to get Anton to invest in one for months, but he’s not sure it’s worth the money.

Of course, in the grand scheme of things, a few thousand bucks is nothing for him. Especially considering the fact we could lose our license if we’re caught serving underage patrons.

But I’m not one to talk, seeing as I’m the one who persuaded Anton to let Emily drink in here tonight.

Luca smiles at me when I approach. “Hey, Danil. Want a beer?”

“You’re supposed to be working.”

Luca flashes me one of his trademark smirks that has all the girls swooning.

“That shit won’t work on me, Luca. I don’t have a pussy.”

“Chill out. You should be thanking me for all the extra revenue I bring into this place. The girls love it when I give them a little attention, which keeps them coming up to the bar to buy drinks. That’s the whole point, right?”

“Whatever. I need you to be in charge for a little while.”

“How long is a little while?”

“Twenty minutes or so.”

Luca narrows his eyes at me.

“Why?”

“I need to walk a friend home.”

Luca glances over my shoulder toward the exit, and I find myself cringing when his eyes light up.

He winks. “Take an hour. It’s about fucking time, Danil.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Sure, you don’t…” Luca chuckles. “You’ve been obsessed with this chick formonths. I'm surprised your cock hasn’t fallen off from lack of use.”

He’s not wrong.

I used to have no issues with hooking up with random girls that come into the bar. But ever since Emily and I started hanging out outside of our study sessions, it felt wrong to sleep with someone else when I started developing feelings for her.

“I’ll be back intwenty.”

Luca rolls his eyes before turning his attention back to his fan club.
