The club was new and you could tell it by the number of people packed into it by the time we arrived. The guys piled in behind me as we approached the bouncer at the front of the long line.
"Finn. My man. What's up, brother?" The large meat-head guarding the front door extended his hand and I shook it. His father was a good friend of my old man's. It paid to know people.
"Hey, Jeff. Any way we get out of standing in this line? I left my jacket at home and my boy Jared here is down for his bachelor party." I tugged Jared up to the front with me, the poor bastard already too drunk to stand.
Jeff chuckled and opened the door. "Only for you. You know it's the ladies who usually get this treatment."
I moved back and shuffled the five other guys in the door before me. "Well, I've been with most of them. That count?"
"Lucky bastard. Get inside before I cha
nge my mind." He patted my back as I walked in and took a quick inventory of the room. Large dance floor to the left, bar to the right, very few seats, loud, sexy music, and pulsating lights.
Yep. It's officially a night club.
Brian snagged the only remaining table in the place, and I glanced toward the bar before looking back at the guys.
"What are we having? Bucket of beers?"
The all grunted their replies and I walked off, not caring much what they wanted. I was buying the first round, and it was going to be the cheap stuff. It was the quickest way to get someone else to pick up the tab for the rest of the night. I had no shame and certainly wasn't spending my last dime on a bunch of drunk guys.
"You're not spending it on a woman, either," I grumbled to myself and stopped by the bar before turning around and catching the eyes of a pair of twins who were having far too much fun dancing together.
I politely declined when the thinner of the two motioned for me to join them. Some guys were good with more than one woman, but not me. I was too much of a selfish bastard. I wanted to leave the girl I was with panting for more.
"Whatcha having, buddy?" The bartender pushed a bowl of peanuts in front of me and smiled.
"Bucket of your cheapest beers. My friends are already tanked."
"Sucks." He laughed and I nodded in agreement before tempting myself by looking back out to the dance floor.
A pretty blonde next to the twins caught my attention as I waited for our drinks. Her back was to me, but the way she rolled her hips left her ass jiggling subtly in her tight skirt and I couldn't help but watch attentively. She needed a man up behind her, taking the brunt of her movements.
I sucked in a deep breath and turned to pay the guy before carrying my bucket back to the table. It would be better for me to steer clear of the dance floor. I had a few moves of my own and didn't need to be pulling them out if I were planning on going home alone, which I was.
"The cheap beer? You bastard." Brian pushed at my shoulder, and drank half the bottle he grabbed. "Actually, that's not bad. Reminds me of high school."
"Which was a long time ago." I lifted to my toes and scanned the crowd again for the blonde. A smile touched my mouth and my pulse sped up. "No fucking way."
Chloe.
"What's up?" Brian pushed his hand against my shoulder as he lifted to his toes. "You see someone we know?"
"Someone I wanna know." I turned and took a beer from the buckets, draining it in a few gulps and walking out to the dance floor. I dropped the empty bottle in the trashcan and slid past the twins. "Excuse me, ladies."
Chloe kept her back to me as I moved up and slid my hands over her hips, pulling her back a little and rocking against her. I pressed my face against the back of her hair and moved in tandem with her, breathing in slowly to taint my lungs with her scent.
Her fingers dug into the back of my thighs, and I bit my lip to keep from crying out.
I pushed my luck a little and ran my hand over her stomach, spaying my fingers and pressing backward to lock her against my body. She would know without a doubt that the man behind her was turned on, but most guys in a club were. The smell of sex was everywhere and inhibitions were usually left at the door.
She pulled away a little before glancing over her shoulder.
"Hi, baby." I smiled.
She spun in my arms and slid her hands up my chest and over my shoulders before licking at her mouth seductively.
"Have we met?" Her voice was soft and sensual. She was playing the same game she did the day before, but I couldn't care less.
