Club Endless Fantasy (Haremworld)

“What if something like that happens in Chicago? We don’t want to end up with coffins on our conscience.” I took a larger gulp of my drink. “The deal is finalized on our end, but we haven’t signed the property over to her yet. I wanted to talk to you first.”

“What happened here was an isolated incident. Club Infinite Fantasy was a great place for people to discover themselves. Unfortunately, some things happened outside of anyone’s control. That drew attention to the club, and she just didn’t think it was worth running anymore.” Quintin nodded and sipped his drink.

“So, you think her bringing the next incarnation to Chicago—Club Endless Fantasy—is safe?” I tried to read his face as he processed what I said.

“Club Endless Fantasy, huh. Yeah, I like that.” A slight smile formed on his lips. “I’ll be honest, I wouldn’t have met the woman I love without Angelina, so I’ll forever be in her debt.”

“How is Savannah, anyway?” I sipped my drink again.

“Great—pregnant again.” His face lit up. “We’re going to need a bigger place before long!”

“Congratulations, man, that’s awesome!” I lifted my glass to toast him.

“Thank you.” He lifted his glass and then took a drink.

“With a big family like the one you two are making, you might need a new job

, huh?” I sipped my drink and smiled.

“Oh, so that’s what this is about.” He sat down his glass and nodded. “You’re here to poach me.”

“I want to offer you an opportunity. Olsen and I are impressed with what you’ve done here in New York, and we can’t think of a better person to head up our New York expansion.” I nodded and shrugged. “The job is yours if you want it—I guarantee it pays more than you make right now.”

“I’ll have to sleep on it.” He stared at his whiskey and sighed. “I am pretty bored in my current job, though. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to think about some other options.”

I didn’t put any pressure on Quintin to take the job. It was on the table, and if he wanted it, he would be the man who led the expansion. Once we had a few drinks in us, Quintin started opening up more about Angelina. He told me more about what really happened at Club Infinite Fantasy. As I listened to the story, I started picking up a few cues, and realized that Quintin’s relationship with his wife wasn’t as normal as it appeared on the surface. I might not have even realized it if I wasn’t currently sharing Gina with my brother and Joaquin. I had a sneaking suspicion that Quintin was involved in a similar arrangement.

“So, Angelina decided to help me find the person I was meant to be with.” I leaned back and watched his expression.

“Oh?” He blinked a couple of times in surprise. “Yeah, she’s good at that.”

“The relationship is a bit… unconventional.” I reached for my whiskey again.

There it is. If he’s going to open up, that’s the best opportunity I can give him.

“Sometimes they can be rather unconventional.” He gave me a quick wink. “I don’t like to talk about that sort of stuff, though. Some things are better left in the bedroom.”

“Yeah, I guess so.” I nodded and sighed. “Especially when there’s more than one person sharing it with you.”

“Oh wow, so you’re just going to come out and say it.” He exhaled sharply. “I’ll say this, and then I’m done talking about it—you should trust her. I’ve never been happier.”

“Thanks, man, that’s all I needed to hear.” I reached for my drink and lifted it. “Here’s to unconventional things that turn out extraordinary.”

“Indeed.” Quintin lifted his glass and sipped his drink.

Finding there was someone else I knew personally, someone I respected as much as Quintin, involved in a relationship similar to mine eased a few of my concerns. Gina told us about her best friend, Harmony, and her relationship, but I didn’t really know Harmony. I knew Quintin. That meant Angelina had been successful at least twice, and those were pretty good odds considering the complication of our relationship. I knew that I liked Gina a whole lot, but I was scared to let love start to flourish with uncertainty surrounding us. I was ready to let that go. If it was going to blossom into something more incredible than what we already had, then I was not going to fight against my feelings.

Not that I could really stop feeling this way.

My phone rang as soon as I got off the plane in Chicago. It was Quintin. He was ready to take me up on my job offer. The pieces were coming together for the New York expansion. I had several prime locations picked out, a man I could trust to head it up, and while it would take time, it was going to happen. It was time to celebrate. I called Olsen and asked him to get in touch with Joaquin and Gina. I didn’t even want to go to the office first. I just wanted to have the people I cared about most with me to break the news, and then we could spend the entire night together, tangled in a beautiful embrace. There was nowhere else I wanted to be.

The person that said absence makes the heart grow stronger clearly forgot to include the most important part—how horny it makes you.

Chapter Twenty

Gina

“That’s wonderful news!” I walked up and hugged Erik as soon as he was done telling us he sealed the deal with Quintin for the New York expansion.
