“And I’m Aaron.”
“Nice to meet you,” I said. “I’m Dani and this is Kim. Thank you for the drinks.”
Aaron smiled at me. He had a smooth yet sleazy quality about him that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. “Our pleasure,” he said. “You girls here for anything special?”
I shook my head. “Girls’ night out.”
Kim was noticeably silent. Totally unlike her, but when I looked her way, she appeared to be warding off Derek, who might as well have had eight arms with how successful she was being.
I looked back at Aaron. “I’m sorry, but we really just came here for some girl time, so thank you for the drinks, but would you mind leaving us alone?”
“Yeah, that’s not gonna happen.”
“Excuse me?”
“You came here lookin’ to meet, and we’re meetin’, so we’ll buy you a couple more drinks if you need them, but we’re not going anywhere.” He ran his hand up my thigh.
I shoved him away. “You disgusting pervert. You think because you bought us drinks that, might I remind you, neither of us requested, you’re due some form of reward?”
“Bitch, you need to learn better manners.”
“I believe the lady asked you to leave.”
I gasped at the sound of the familiar voice, but when I caught a glimpse of Austin, he wasn’t in his signature jeans and cut, he was in a suit that looked expensive. Like Armani kind of expensive.
“Who the hell are you?” Derek demanded.
“We’re the ladies’ dates,” came another voice. Mack revealed himself by walking around Kim’s side of the booth, also dressed in a dark suit, complementing his blond hair and adding a whole new level to his sex-appeal.
“Yeah?” Aaron sneered. “Well, we got here first.”
That was the last thing either of them said, as Austin grabbed Aaron, and Mack grabbed Derek. They yanked them from the booth and shoved them to the back. The whole incident took less than a minute. Kim and I were left with our mouths agape, and my heart raced with a nervous intensity.
“Who the hell were they?” she asked.
“Austin and Mack,” I replied.
“I thought you said they were bikers.”
I groaned. “They are!”
“Holy shit, Dani. You didn’t say they were hot.”
“Um, I believe I did.”
“But you didn’t say they werehawt!”
“Hey, Kim,” I droned. “Austin and his friend are hawt.”
“No kidding.”
Before I could comment further, my arm was squeezed, and Austin was standing beside me again. “Come with me.”
“No.”
“Dani,” he warned.
“What are you doing here?” I demanded.
