I look up, and Marlee has her tits spilling out of a tiny green shirt.I do the best I can to make eye contact as I slide her a shot of whiskey and hand her a plastic cup of beer.Taking her money, I see a handful of guys behind her staring.Of course, she’s wearing the shortest plaid skirt I think I’ve ever seen.And I’ve seen some short skirts over the years.The guys’ jaws drop as she leans across the bar, grabbing my shirt to pull me in for a kiss.
Thankfully, Aidan and Lis breeze through the kitchen door just then, and I turn my head to greet them.And Marlee’s lips land square on my cheek.
“I missed.Give me another chance, Finny.”
Christ, she’s off her tits already.I probably shouldn’t have even served her.
I back away and nod at Aidan, wiping at the goopy, glossy mess on my cheek.“You back then?He’s all right?”I look around for Kieran and only see Lis and her friend Gracyn.
“A bunch of stitches and some painkillers, so he’ll not be back tonight.What was that?”Aidan nods at Marlee dancing her way over to the side of the bar.Right next to Addie.
“She’s not taking nofor an answer.I need to get out of here with Addie.”I wipe my hands on a bar rag and hand it off to Aidan.
“Who?”He reaches out for an empty pitcher and falls into the repetitive motions of the night.
I glance to the right and smile as wide as I can—until I catch Marlee looking from me to Addie and back again.
I stalk over to them, smile firmly in place.“I’m done then.Let’s get out of here, yeah?”
Unfortunately, Marlee is more than a little impaired.
“Sure, lemme jus’ finish my beer,” she slurs.
And the look Addie gives her is priceless—and more than a little intimidating.
“Heeeyyy, you don’t have your glasses on.You look shexy like that.”
Adelaide slides out of her barstool and makes her way through the crowd to the front door.
“I’ll jus’ sit right here.”Marlee slides into the newly vacated seat, making herself at home.
“I’m out, Aidan.Maybe she just needs an Uber.”I nod toward Marlee as I grab my jacket from where I stowed it under the bar and push my way through to catch up with Addie.“You’re not leaving, are you?Can I still take you for a bite?”
“Absolutely.I just hit my limit with people.Had to leave before Skankzilla got too close,” she deadpans at me.“She always like that?”
“No.She’s a hot mess tonight.”I laugh as I guide Addie to my car.
She pauses when I open the door for her.“I’ve seen how you drive.Maybe we should take my car.”
The way she bites her lip when she’s being snarky does things to me.Things that make my jeans uncomfortable.
I manage to keep the car door between us to hide my growing erection.“I promise, you’re in good hands.We’ll be perfectly safe.”
She climbs in, and I close the door, thankful to have the barrier while I make the necessary adjustments.
Unfortunately, with her seated, Addie’s face is exactly level with my hand as I shift my cock.

“Haven’t I seen you somewhere before?”
“Yes, that’s why I stopped going.”
Adelaide
There is no denying that he’s got something impressive there.
Finn clears his throat as he closes his car door and starts the car.
