"Fuck you," Nathan muttered.
"Admit it, you care. Its eating you alive to know that shes going to be fucking some other guy this weekend when youre dying to get into her pants. "
"It aint going to happen," Nathan said belligerently.
"What, you getting into her pants?" Micah asked.
Nathan turned up his middle finger at Micah. "What aint going to happen is her having anonymous sex with some goddamn stranger. "
"And you plan to prevent this how?"
Fuck if he knew. He didnt know this Damon guy as well as Micah did, but Micah could fix that, couldnt he? And hell, if she was that bent on having anonymous sex, he could be as anonymous as the next guy.
A slow grin spread across his face. That was it. Hed exact a little payback for the way shed played him in the salon with the added benefit of not letting her fuck another man. She wouldnt need another guy when he finished with her.
"Im not liking the look on your face right now," Micah said warily. "You only get that look when youre plotting. Usually against me. "
"I think we should have a beer with your buddy, Damon," Nathan suggested. "Like tonight. "
Micah grinned. "I thought you might see it my way. "
"Your way? How the hell is this your way? If we did things your way, Julie would be fucking some weirdo at Damons sex club this weekend. "
"Why do you think I told you about it, moron?" Micah said as he motioned for another beer. "And Im way ahead of you, man. Damons supposed to meet me here in an hour. "
Chapter 4
“You did not tell me that they were going to be here," Julie huffed as she, Serena and Faith walked into Cattlemans. "In fact, you told me that Damon was at The House tonight. Working on my setup. "
Serena shrugged, but her gaze was drawn to where Damon sat between Micah and Nathan.
"Hello? Earth to Serena?"
Faith giggled as they pulled Serena toward the bar. Damons gaze found Serenas, and he smiled a sexy, toe-curling smile that even had Julie squirming.
"You two are more nauseating than Faith and Gray," Julie grumbled as they plopped onto barstools.
"What did I do?" Faith asked in a perfect rendition of her innocent look.
"So why are they here?" Julie hissed. Nathan was staring at her. She could feel him boring holes through her back.
"Why dont you go ask them?" Serena drawled.
"After a few drinks I just might. " The last thing she wanted was for Nathan to think she was rattled. Or avoiding him. Even if she damn well was.
"Well you wanted him to suffer," Faith said as the bartender served up their drinks. "Although Id say he looks more pissed than pained. "
"Better to be pissed off than pissed on," Julie muttered.
Serena laughed. "Girlfriend, you pissed all over the guy months ago. Marked him, scented him, howled at the moon . . . "
Julie shoved at her arm and scowled. "Yeah, well, you saw how far that got me. At least now he knows what hes missing. "
"Why are you still talking about him?" Faith asked. "Shouldnt you be moving on to greener pastures? Remember? You were going to blow him them blow him off and have Damon hook you up with two prime specimens with big dicks and no brains. "
"Why, Faith, you shock me," Serena said in mock horror.
"Id say shes dead-on," Julie drawled. "She makes a damn good point. Why the hell am I sitting here stewing about Nathan fucking Tucker when Ive got a date to be the filling in a stud sandwich?"
Faith and Serena both looked at her with ill-disguised horror.
"The filling in a stud sandwich? Julie, tell me you didnt just say that. For Gods sake," Serena said.
"Not one of your better lines," Faith snickered.
"Okay, so it was all I could come up with. Not everyone has your expertise in the area of threesomes. "
Serena laughed. "Shes got you there, Faith. "
"And clearly neither of you are going to let me live it down," Faith said mournfully.
"Hell, if I were you, I wouldnt want to live it down. Id want to relive it. Over and over if possible," Julie said wistfully.
She stole a glance over at Micah Hudson and tried again to imagine him and Gray Montgomery both fucking Faiths brains out. Nope. Couldnt picture it. She shrugged and turned her gaze back to Faith.
"I still think youre putting us on about that whole thing. "
Faith rolled her eyes. "Youre just a jealous bitch and you know it. I dont know what your problem is. In a few nights, youre going to be indulging in all the hedonistic pleasure you can handle while Serena and I are having a boring evening home with our guys. "
"Speak for yourself," Serena murmured.
Julie downed her drink and quickly ordered another one. Liquid courage. Never let her down yet. Last time, Nathan had taken her home and dumped her into bed. Maybe this time she could get Micah to do the dirty deed.
"Going for a quick buzz tonight?" Serena asked with a raised eyebrow.
She didnt respond, just leveled a stare at Serena and then turned her gaze on the guys sitting several tables away.
"Uh-oh. I dont like that look," Faith said.
Serena grinned. "Oh this is going to be good. And you and I get front-row seats, Faith. "
"You two are going with me," Julie said sweetly.
"Uh-huh, and exactly what are we doing?" Faith asked.
Julie smiled. "First were going to have a few more drinks. I assume at this point Damons not going to leave without you, Serena. "
Thirty minutes and a good many drinks later, Julie was feeling no pain, and the demon that had perched so delicately on her shoulder earlier was now hanging from her ear for dear life.
"Shall we, ladies?"
She stood and started toward the table where the men still sat nursing their beers. All three looked up as she approached, and she almost halted at the fire that blazed in Nathans eyes.
