“Sex.” She stared at me as if I were an idiot. I looked down.

“Oh, well we—”

She paused and blinked rapidly into the mirror. “Wow, so that’s why you’re fighting.”

“Yes, I know,” I replied curtly and turned, leaving the changing room.

I put on a smile and went to the bar, where Landon forced a smile back at me. I joined him behind it.

“Hey baby, you okay?” he asked.

I nodded. “All good. Where are you at with orders?”

I glanced at the full bar.

“Everyone’s taken care of right now. Thanks.”

An uncomfortable silence fell between us for a moment. I looked away, and thankfully, someone wanted my attention.

Work kept us too busy to dwell on the silent fight we were having behind closed doors. That was until a handsome stranger came to sit directly in front of me.

“Hi,” he said. His voice reminded me of warm chocolate. Smooth and rich. I looked up and found myself flirting a little.

“Hi. How can I help you?”

“Scout, this is my friend, Paulo.” Landon came up behind me, putting his arms around me. He kissed my neck, causing me to let out an involuntary giggle. I was about to elbow him away when he whispered in my ear. “I want you two to fuck.”

I froze. My eyes shot over to his friend. Chocolate-colored hair, icy blue eyes, and a jawline for days. He winked, and I clenched my thighs together. I swallowed. “Landon, we talked about this.”

“I know. But I don’t care if we haven’t yet. I want this. Please, Scout. For me.”

“I don’t know.” I shook my head and pulled myself from his grasp. Paulo spoke then, causing me further embarrassment.

“I think we could have a lot of fun together.”

“Oh yeah?” I asked, refusing to look at him any further. I went about making him a drink, even though he didn’t ask. He looked like a whiskey-on-the-rocks guy.

“Landon tells me you’ve never tried more than one man at a time.”

I gritted my teeth. “That’s right.”

“You don’t think you’d like having hands all over you, focusing on your pleasure and nothing else?”He leaned forward and grinned.

I slid his drink over to him and put my hands on my hips. I turned to Landon and glared. “What is this? A sales pitch at my job?”

He shrugged. “I thought maybe if you saw the product, you’d be more interested in buying in.”

“Well, I’m not. Please, drop it.”

The evening continued, with Paulo drinking at the bar while he and Landon spoke. Sometimes I heard them laughing. Other times they were staring at me and speaking in low tones. All of it had my stomach in nervous flutters.

Eventually, I needed a break. I threw a towel down and fled the bar. I could feel the two men staring at my ass as I ran. Prue saw me leaving the floor and followed me.

“Please tell me you’re gonna fuck them both tonight.”

“Jesus Prue! Keep it down!” I said in a loud whisper. The door hadn’t even fully closed. I smacked her arm lightly, and she only laughed.“I haven’t even fucked the one. What makes you think I’m going to start with both?”

“Oh, come on, they are practically salivating at the bar every time you move. Landon picked a hot vamp.”
