"Holy Hades.I have to hear this story!"I stop.I hold my iPhone up and say into it."Call Tif."

"Calling Tif."

When she answers, I tell her I'm back and in desperate need of her magic fingers."My BFF is in town too.Can you mash us?"

"Welcome back!Of course.When?"

"Thanks, Tif!I'll have Angelo schedule it.He's my PA."

"Perfect," Tif says, then hangs up.

"Stardom suits you."Piper laughs."Let's not mention I'm dancing with you tonight.I want to give Dirk another real shocker."Her evil laugh is contagious.

"You got it!"We stop, and I knock on James' door.

"Come in."

I stick my head in."I have a slight change in the show."He waves to come in, so Piper and I step inside."This is Piper, my BFF, and Coyote Ugly dance partner.She's going to do a surprise performance with me."

He comes around his desk, shakes her hand, and sizes her up."Oh my!You're easy on the eyes."

"Would you mind taking her into the Club and showing her how to access the VIP rooms?"

"Come with me, Hun."

She giggles."I'll see you in a bit."

I hear James telling her."The show will start at midnight.Once you're inside, then come back to Siri's dressing room.I'll have your outfit laid out for you."They round the corner, and I start down the hall.The door opens, and my Golden God walks in, looking every bit the part.I smile at him and skip down to give him a big wet smack on the mouth.

"Happy?"

"Very!It's good to be home."

"Did your meeting go well?"Aurei asks me as we walk down to the Steakhouse.

"Absofuckinglutely perfect!"I swing our arms, then raise them over my head and twirl around under them.

"You're in a good mood."

"I love it when a plan comes together."I put his arm around me and slide my hand in his back pocket so I can feel his ass flexing in his jeans when he walks.

I have his ball cap on again, and he pushes the brim down, covering my eyes, and says."Behave, Bad Thang."

I giggle and push it up."Never!"

"Oh snap."He laughs."You're in that kinda mood, huh?"

"And just what kind of mood is that?"

"Siri-ous sassy ass!"He does quotes with his fingers.

I laugh out loud and confirm it."Hell to the fucking yeah!"

We enter the Steakhouse, and I ask for Bart's table.

"And you are?"The hostess asks.

I smirk at Aurei."That is confirmation!I've been gone too damn long."I take the cap off, shake my hair out, then tell her."Siri."
