I struggle to pull my eyes away as Andi sways her hips to the beat. Knox throws his arm around my shoulder, drawing my attention to him.

“You look like a perv in a closet at a girls’ slumber party, bro. Let’s go get a drink,” he says, and I glare at him.

“You’re such a dick sometimes.”

He chuckles, dragging me away. “Come on.”

We settle at the bar, fresh drinks in hand.

“So it seems you and Andi are getting along pretty well,” he says.

“We’re just blowing off steam,” I say, trying to convince the both of us.

“Yeah, sure.” Knox takes a swig of his drink. “Seems you’ve got an awful lot of steam to blow.”

“What can I say?” I grin. “The girl’s got a lot of energy.” Andi’s like the fucking energizer bunny. Her rebound time to handle another orgasm is impressive.And I’m enjoying testing those limits very much.

“She’s amazing, man,” Knox says, leveling me. “Just admit you like her.”

“You seemed to enjoy her company just as much,” I point out.

“Like I said, she’s awesome.” He tips his drink towards me. “And ridiculously hot.”

I clink my glass against his. “You’re not wrong.”

“Hey,” Andi says, popping between us and throwing her arms over our shoulders. “Felicity’s buying me a drink,” she tells me, waggling her eyebrows. “We might have a shot for the triple gumdrop tonight!” She smacks a kiss on my cheek before slipping away again, and I can’t wipe the stupid smile off my face.

Does the idea of her and a sexy southern redhead in my bed turn me on? Sure. But watching Andi enjoying herself, being confident in her own skin and sexuality, that’s attractive as hell.

“You seem awfully happy at the mention of a holiday candy,” Knox says with a cocked brow.

I take a swig of my drink. “It’s a very delicious candy.”

“The kind that gets you laid?” he presses.

“Indeed.” I smirk, filling him in on the dirtier details of Andi’s list while keeping track of her in my peripheral.

A tall, muscular guy with tattooed arms the size of my head walks up to them. He’s not in costume and looks like he should be bouncing for a biker bar instead of hanging out in this place. He leans down to Felicity, and she plants a big kiss right on his lips.Interesting turn of events.

“Dude,” Knox says, snapping in front of my face. “Are you even listening to me?”

“Hold on,” I wave him off, trying to gauge what’s going down at the end of the bar. The guy gives Andi an appreciative once-over, his arm slung loosely over Felicity. I can only see the back of Andi’s head, but I can tell by the way her shoulders shake she’s laughing.

“Ohhh, I see,” Knox says, following my line of sight. “You’re worried she’s gonna complete the triple gumdrop without you.”

“What?” I scoff. “She wouldn’t.”

“Why not?” Knox presses. “It’s not like you’re exclusive.”

“I know, but we’re…”Hooking up? Fucking?“Getting it out of our systems.”

“Famous last words,” Knox says, patting my back with a laugh.

I roll my eyes, attention turning back to Andi, but she’s gone. As are the gigantic bouncer and Felicity.Shit.

“Well, maybe they took her up on that offer,” Knox says like the asshole he is.

“Over my dead body,” I say, pushing away from the bar and starting towards the place I last saw them. I’m halfway to the spot when a hand grips my elbow, stopping me in place.
