“A glass of red, perhaps.” Though on pursuing the wine list, I changed my mind. “Actually, make that champagne.”
“With a burger?” Richard scoffed.
I’d handed the waiter the wine menu back. “Extra chilled.”
Richard looked over at him. “Another Corona.”
“Sure.” Our waiter headed off.
“Shouldn’t that be biology?” I gestured to Richard’s book.
“You seem to know an awful lot about me.”
“It’s a small place.”
“Bullshit. Listen, pretty boy, I’ve already told your other cult members I don’t do frat houses.”
“Sounds like you’re a popular man.”
“Did Megan send you to talk to me?”
I raised a brow. “No, but she did share you’re into kink.”
“You her brother?”
“No. I’m here as your friend.” I beamed at him, amused.
He shook his head, amused by his own bad boy front and obviously taken by my ability to disarm with a smile.
“I’m offering you the chance of a lifetime, Sheppard,” I said. “I’m inviting you to D'envoûtement.”
“Enthrall?”
I smiled at his translation.
His gaze swept the bar. “Does that place really exist?”
“It does.”
“Catch?”
“You end it with Megan.”
“Why?”
“She can’t give you what you want and both of you are going to get hurt.”
“I like her.”
“Tell her you’re over.”
“You want her?”
I gave him the glare his question deserved.
“All I did was spank her,” he said.
“Did she deserve it?”
