But times were different.
I knocked back my glass of vodka, wincing as the alcohol burned theback of my throat. I’d never been much of a drinker; alcohol didn’t make my brain switch off the way I needed it to. Weed did, but all kinds of drugs were prohibited from Exotique, so I was making do with vodka.
“Mr. Wolfe, can I get you another drink?”a waitress purred in my ear,bending over and flashing her ample cleavage.Evenin the dim lighting, I could make out her pert nipples straining against the thin material.
She was an attractive woman,justmy type. Big doe eyes, plump pinklipsthatwould look incredible wrapped around my length as I fuckedher mouth, buteventhe image of shoving my cock down her throat until she couldn’t breathe didn’t stir anything in me.
Itseemedonly one woman got me hard lately, and she was the onewoman I wouldn’t allow myself to have.
“Vodka,”I grumbled, holding out my glass and refusing to meet hergaze, instead keeping my eyes firmly on the sex showthatwas coming to an end as all three participants neared their climaxes.
The waitress refilled my glass, hurrying away as I grabbed my drink andknocked back the vodka, once again wincing as the liquid scorched my throat.
Ignoring the slaps of flesh against flesh and grunts and groans from the trioon stage, I pulled my phone out and loaded up the report I’d downloaded earlier, not giving a fuckthatI was invading Sofia’s privacy. I’d already read the report detailing her recent browsing history, but Icouldn’t help but go over it again, reminding myself of all the internet searches she’d conducted earlier.
‘How to seduce a man.’
‘Does it hurt to lose your virginity?’
‘Will I bleed when I have sex for the first time?’
‘Can I fake losing my virginity?’
I gritted my teeth as unwanted images flashed in my head. Me fucking Sofia,my pierced cock coated in her virgin blood as I tore her apart. Her screaming my name as I made her come so fucking hardthatthe world knew she belonged to me.
I shook my head. Sofia wouldneverbelong to me.
“I thought I’d find you here,”a deep, familiar voice rumbled, before alarger-than-life figure took the chair next to me.
I put my phone away and looked over at Kai. I’d seen him briefly earlierwhen he returned home with Riley from their honeymoon,but I’d left soon after, keen to get the Jailbait out from under my roof. Eventhough I’d spoken to him several times while he’d been away, it wasgood to see him in the flesh. There’d been times when I thought I was going to lose him like I’d lost everyone else in my life.
“Does Riley know you’re here?”
“Who do you think sent me to look for you?”he said, raising his handto wave down a waitress.“Justdon’t tell her I found you in a fucking sex club, she’ll have my balls if she thinks I was watching some whore getting her rocks off.”
I snorted. He wasn’t wrong. Riley was as possessive of Kai as Kaiwas of her, but they’d gone to hell and back to get to where they were now. I never thought I’d see the day my ruthless cousin was pussy-whipped, but life had a mysterious way of working.
“Blowing off some steam before you tie the knot?”Kai asked as the samewaitress poured his drink,notfluttering her lashes at him the way she’d done with me.
Every woman in Hollows Bay knew Kai was a taken man, regardless of thewedding band he sported on his ring finger.
He gave me a knowing look as he gulped his whiskey. Kai rarelycame to Exotique; it wasn’t his sceneevenbefore he met Riley, but if he had been a frequent visitor, he would have knownthatI hadn’t participated inanyacts since Theo’s death a year ago.
Survivor’s guilt sucked. Not only did it make me have nightmares whereTheo constantly blamed me for not being there to stop his murder, but it also affected my sex life.
If I hadn’t been so wrapped up in my own little world, getting off on people watching me fuck random women until the sun came up, instead of going with my cousin to meet the Chief of Police, he might still be alive.
So no, in the last year I hadn’t been on stage, and I hadn’t so much ashad a twitch in my cock until a few months ago when a certain blue-eyed woman reappeared in my life.
“Something like that,” I muttered in reply.
“What’s going on with you, Miles? You’ve been a miserable cunt forthe last few months, and to tell you the truth, I’m getting fucking sick of it.”
I glanced at him, finding him watching me with darkened eyes. I knew betterthan to piss Kai off; he had a short temper. But I also knew my cousin wouldn’t hurt me. He needed me too much.
“Nothing. Like you said, I’mjustblowing off steam.”
He narrowed his eyes on me, but after a few seconds, he chose to change thesubject.“Ernie told me what happened at the bar with Sofia. Do we have a problem we need to deal with?”
