Lunar saunters out of the back room at the end of her shift, and after talking to Steel for another hour or so, I’m feeling slightly less inebriated. I’m still there, but less on the wasted scale. Lunar comes over, sliding in next to me, and immediately my cock springs to attention even though Lunar’s fully dressed.

“So, big guy, you’re still here. Are you going to be some serial stalker now?” she asks.

I tilt my head. “Why, are you into that kinda thing?”

She laughs. “No, not really. It’s needy and adolescent.”

I arch my brow. “There’s nothing teenage about me, Lunar. I’mallman.”

Her eyes take me in, running up and down my body. “I can see that. With all those tattoos, piercings, and what I can’t see. Yeah, you’re a real bad boy, aren’t you?”

“You mocking me?”

Steel chuckles and stands, then walks away, leaving us alone in the booth.

She nods matter-of-factly and grins. “Why, I do believe I am, wannabe rock star. What? Can’t handle the heat?”

I rub my chin. I’ve never had a chick talk back to me like this. Ella certainly never would have. I wince slightly, thinking about the woman who ruined me, and Lunar’s smug smile falters.

“Wow! I really have dented your ego,” she states.

“No, it’s not that. You’re quite the little firecracker, aren’t you?”

She looks me right in the eyes. Her piercing blue irises send a tingle straight down my spine when she leans in so close I can smell the fruity essence on her breath. “You have no idea how much of a fire I can light, Danger. You’re not the only one with a little danger about them.” She moves forward to the point where her lips are a hair’s breadth from mine.

If I pushed forward the slightest bit, I could taste her lips. She knowingly smiles and licks her bottom lip seductively, then moans with a sexual undertone. It’s enough to cause every inch of me to tingle as she giggles, and then the urge strikes me to take her enticing lip between my teeth before she slowly backs away. “You’re not ready for a woman like me, Danger.”

The tension ebbs slightly. “Fucking hell, Lunar, I amsoready for a woman like you.”

She leans back in the booth and pulls her cell from her handbag. “Against my better judgment, I probably shouldn’t be doing this, but put your number in, and Imightcall you…maybe.”

I take her cell and program my number in, then ring my cell to ensure I have her number.

“Sneaky… you’re heading into that stalker territory again there, big guy.”

I shrug and grin. “Sometimes we all gotta go a little stalker.”

She looks over her shoulder to where Steel is standing by the door waiting for her, then turns back to face me. “This hasbeen interesting. Don’t lose your cool edge, Danger, or I’ll lose interest.”

“Gotta say I like this bossy side. It’s new for me,” I tell her.

“Normally, you’d have chicks throwing themselves at you?” She raises her brow in question.

“Well… yeah, in a word.”

She giggles. “Well, sorry. You gotta work for this candy, baby. Look… I gotta go. Club and all. But I’ll see ya ’round.”

“Maybe,” I tease.

She nudges my shoulder. “There you go. You do know how to play. Night, Danger.” Without another word, she slides out of the booth, and I wink at her before she wiggles her ass from side to side, then walks away with Steel.

Pulling in a deep breath, I wonder what the fucking hell I did to find such an amazing beauty.

Lunar is someone I need to get to know.

And definitely, someone I need to sink my cock into.
