CHAPTER12
Knox walkedGreer through the back door of the club before walking to the office to clock in.She heard him groan, looking at the assignment sheet.That could only mean one thing.Tonight it was his turn to man the VIP rooms.
You would think it would be the best job at a club, but he had pointed out that when you had watched enough women grinding on enough men, you just tuned it out after a while.It meant, unless the rooms were empty, he was stuck in the back watching monitors.
“Greer,” he said, catching her as she walked by the office.“I have to work the back tonight.You’ll have to point out your sailors to Dex.Don’t go outside for your break, okay?I don’t want one of them catching you alone in the parking lot.”
“You know, I was perfectly capable of handling myself before you decided to take up residency on my ass, right?”she growled next to him.He scowled down at her.
“I’d be perfectly happy to show you what I can do to that ass, but I have to work.”She rolled her eyes at him, pushing through the curtain into the front of the club.“Just don’t do any of your usual stupid shit tonight.I won’t be around to stop you.”
Greer started to storm toward the bar when she suddenly stopped to look over her shoulder.
“Stop staring at my ass,” she said, catching his eyes quickly trying to move from where they had just been focused on her backside.With a sigh, he turned toward the back rooms.
Greer smiled when she turned back around.It was so much fun to rile him up.She had caught him looking at her with those brilliant-green eyes before when he thought she wasn’t paying attention.How could you not pay attention to someone with that much concentrated testosterone watching you like you were his next meal?She almost felt sorry for him.He would never get to taste her.
Greer didn’t have to wait long before Dex and Tyler walked into the room.She followed them to a table she had reserved near the back, where they could see the whole room without being too close to one of the stages.
With a quick nod of her head at Dex, she turned to Tyler, wiggling her eyebrows.Even she had to admit, he was one hot FBI agent tonight.He had on a pair of dark slacks with a button-down silk dress shirt opened at the neck.He had rolled the sleeves up to just below his elbows, showing off his rippling biceps.Or as she liked to think of it, arm porn.
“So what would Houston’s latest power couple like to drink?”she asked as they settled into their seats.Tyler laughed.She looked gorgeous tonight, opting for a pair of silk shorts that hit just above her knees.Her blouse was a deep green that highlighted her long red curls to perfection.She had chosen a pair of flats that were both comfortable and stylish.
They really did look like they belonged on the cover of a fashion magazine.Greer also loved the fact that Dex looked at her best friend like she was the only woman in the world.
“Are they here?”he asked.
“Not yet, but it’s still early.”
“Just let us know when they show.In the meantime, I’ll have a rum and Coke.I don’t think I’ll overdo it.Also, can you pick us out a couple of appetizers you recommend?Tyler, do you want an amaretto sour?”Tyler nodded, so Greer left to place their orders.
She didn’t see Knox again, which suited her perfectly.Although she had sort of gotten used to his giant body hovering behind her all night.Speaking of arm porn, he had it in spades.Ugh!The bossiness, though, was getting on her nerves.He didn’t get to decide what she did with her break time.
Greer worked steadily through the evening as the club started to fill up with patrons.She was halfway through her shift when she suddenly felt the air shift behind her.Turning around, she stared at the muscled chest of the giant who had made it his mission to drive her crazy.He had her pinned between two tall chairs against the bar.
“Ready for a break?”The deep rumble made her panties all but melt off every time.Her body’s natural reaction to him when he was close to her made her even more irritated with him.She shouldn’t be lusting constantly over someone this infuriating.
“Yeah,” she huffed out, setting her tray down.“Hey, I’m going on break.”With a nod from the bartender, she led Knox through the club until they were standing at the edge of the building in what little breeze there was.
“How’s your shift going?”she asked after they settled against the wall.
“I want to burn my eyes out,” he growled, closing his eyes.
“What?Can’t handle all those tits bouncing around?More into guys?”He opened his eyes, spearing her with the glowing emeralds.He snorted as he crossed his arms across his wide chest.
“Not necessarily, just not into harems.I’ve never believed the saying ‘you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all’ until tonight.I also prefer the real thing, not too big, just a perfect handful.”
“Wow, you’ve put some thought into that.”
“I’ve had a lot of time to consider it tonight.”
“So what you’re saying is if I had to have reconstructive surgery, you would snub your nose at my breasts?”
“Your breasts could never be less than perfect, so no.I’d happily motorboat them either way.”Greer actually heard herself snort a laugh before she could stop it.
“Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?”
“God, no.She’d have a bar of soap stuck in it in a heartbeat.”
