“Eh, we almost always got lucky in the end.”

“Which end?”

Liam crushed ice between his teeth when he blatantly asked that, and Benson stared at him as if he spoke some other dialect.

“Dibs on the front end,” Liam then said.

“With which one?”

He picked the first woman to walk by them. “Her, obviously.” The buxom brunette in a petite black bra and skirt that left nothing to the imagination, and her perfume was so strong that Liam would probably gag if he tried to kiss her. But she had the perfect figure for grabbing, fondling, and sucking. Benson must have agreed, because he subtly nodded and wagged a finger at his partner in crime.

“Front’s all yours. A woman like that is destined to have me from behind.”

“And what a view that would be.”

“For who?”

“For all three of us.”

Thank God they didn’t see anyone they recognized, be they former lovers or old friends, because Liam and Benson were on a mission that night. For all of their bravado talking about kissing this woman or taking that one to a back room, they had a singular mission that night. One they had been planning for days.

Benson let out a low whistle. “Then there’s a girl like that.”

Liam saw who he meant. “Indeed.” The breath left his lungs. “Absolutely no contest.”

It was Eden. She flowed into the room like she owned it, looking not a bit out of place among all of the lingerie and high heels, but with such a cool grace that one would never doubt that Eden Hailstonebelongedin the country’s premier sex club. If she hadn’t been scouted to be a Butterfly before, she would definitely be tonight.

“Mother of God,” Benson muttered.

Eden was bedecked in a bright white negligee that hugged her hips and lifted her breasts toward heaven. A hint of a pearl-white thong flashed beneath the short skirt, showing off more of her ass than covering it up.I know those pumps.They had dangled from Eden’s hand as she returned from her big date with Benson on La Mariposa.Of course, I had no idea that’s who she had been with that night.But Liam took full advantage in his private cabana.

Now they were on her feet, making her legs look a mile long.

“She’s breakfast, lunch, and dinner,” Liam agreed. “The whole snack.”

A sheer white kimono hung off Eden’s shoulders as she slipped through the room, accepting compliments from women and hungry stares from their male dates. More than one couple looked askance at her before biting their lips at each other. When she fluffed her dark hair and stopped to fix her kimono by a couch full of guys out for a stag party? It was a miracle she wasn’t immediately pulled into their horny orbit.

“We are going to do unspeakable things to her later.”

“Well, don’t get too excited.” Liam glanced at Benson’s lap. “Jesus. Too late.”

“I am only human.”

They both ducked behind a pair of guys taking up a table near them, just in case Eden looked in their direction. Liam caught sight of their favorite hostess and motioned her over.

“Her,” he told her, pointing to Eden as she was caught up in a conversation with two women who stopped to talk to her. “That’s the one we mentioned earlier. Make sure she has averygood time tonight.”

He whipped out a few more hundreds from his wallet and slipped them to the hostess, who kept her stoic façade as she shoved the bills into her bra. “Not a problem. What’s her name?”

Liam glanced at Benson before answering. “Brim.”

Chapter 20

Eden

The cocktail was gone in fifteen minutes, and Eden had no idea how she drank it so quickly. Yet she didn’t care. Once she deposited the empty glass on a hostess’s tray, she kept to water from the dispensers stationed throughout the club. She wanted all of her mental faculties tonight, especially if she might be making some life-changing decisions based on one night.

Luckily, there was no shortage of people looking her way or engaging with her if she stood still long enough. Between the ladies who wanted to know where she got her bridal negligee and the gentleman who kindly told her how beautiful she was before he departed, Eden could easily live on nothing but compliments for the rest of the month.
