walking in the opposite direction. Chace grabbed his arm.
“C’mon, one drink…please? I’ve been watching her friend and I so would love to tap that.”
“One drink, Chace, one drink.”
“Thanks, man.”
Ace and Chace walked over to the girls. They both turned around and Chace almost passed out. The girl he was fantasizing about for the last ten minutes was Little Miss Sunshine.
“Ace, I got to go.”
Ace grabbed him by the collar, “Oh no, no you don’t.”
Chloe just stood there. She didn’t speak a word. Her friend Taryn walked over to Ace and kissed him. Then she started rubbing his cock. Ace drank so much he didn’t think it was possible to get hard but damn that cock of his was like a rock.
“I’m Taryn, by the way.”
“I’m, Ace. You want to go somewhere and fuck?”
“Hell, I’d fuck you anywhere.”
Ace took Taryn by the hand and headed to his office.
Chace and Chloe were still in the midst of their staring contest when Declan walked over.
“Well now I know why you never came back.”
“Ace dragged me over here and then took off with some girl.”
Declan looked at Chloe and smiled. She smiled back.
“Hey, I’m Declan. This is my partner Chace.”
“I’m Chloe. So you’re a detective too?”
Declan looked at Chace who was still not speaking.
“No, I meant business partner. We own this club.”
Chloe’s eye widened. “Wow.”
“Yeah, so can we buy you a drink?”
“I can’t stay, Dec. I have someone waiting for me in the parking lot.”
“Ok, your loss. I will get to have Chloe all to myself.
Chloe smiled at Declan but her then her eyes strayed over to Chace.
“I will see you tomorrow, Dec.”
Chace walked off. Declan grabbed two drinks off of a tray the waitress was carrying around, then went and sat down with Chloe.
A CE WOKE UP ON the couch with Taryn in his arms, a hangover, a stiff neck and Lucy on his mind. Taryn looked up at him.
“Good morning.”
“Hey.”
Taryn stood up and started getting dressed.
“Are you in a hurry to go?”
“No, but I know how these one night things go. Typically, once everyone is awake, it’s time to get dressed and leave.”
“I could buy you breakfast?”
“Maybe you should find Lucy and buy her breakfast.”
“Lucy? What did I say about Lucy?”
“Oh boy, I guess you were drunker than I thought. No wonder you had sex with me.”
Ace stood up and walked over to Taryn and took her hand.
“I may have been drunk and for that I apologize but I knew what I was doing and I remember that evil thing you did with your tongue. I’m sorry if I mentioned Lucy.”
“You kept mumbling her name in your sleep.”
“Guess I was having nightmares then.”
“Is Lucy an ex?”
“Lucy is just someone who, who I don’t want to talk about.”
Ace stretched his neck. Taryn lifted up her hand and started to rub his neck.
“Stiff neck?”
“Yeah.”
“Come over here and lie down. You’re in luck, I’m a massage therapist.”
“You’re going to give me a massage?”
“Well it would be better if I had my table but I can make do.”
“Do you offer a special finish?”
“I think that can be arranged.”
“Only if you let me buy you breakfast afterward.”
“Deal.”
Lucy woke up, rolled over and stared down at her engagement ring. She didn’t want to hurt Tom but she was sure after last night with Ace, that he was not the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. Maybe Ace would never forgive her but either way she couldn’t spend the rest of her life with a man she wasn’t in love with. It wouldn’t be fair to her or Tom. She got up from bed, took off the ring and went to look for Tom. She needed to tell him now before she chickened out.
“Good morning.”
“Tom, we need to talk.”
“Talk? That doesn’t sound good.”
“Tom, I love you, I really do but I can’t marry you.”
Lucy handed Tom back her ring. Tom looked devastated.
“Is there someone else?”
Lucy didn’t
