was. That sexy mischievous smile
that gave me butterflies. My heart pounded in my chest every time he looked at
me like that. I nodded slightly, letting him know that I was in although I had
no idea what I was in for.
    “I need a moment with Lo first,”
Parker shot Cole a serious glance, and I watched as they seemed to exchange
some unspoken communication. Cole excused himself and headed to the men’s room,
and I looked at Parker expectantly.
    “Lo, this is happening a little
faster than I expected,” he swallowed hard, “Things could get crazy.” His eyes
were locked on mine as he struggled to find the right words. “Cole is…well he’s
a lot like me. If you have any doubts about this just tell me, and we won’t
go.” His eyes were glassy from the mixture of alcohol and emotion. I sensed he
was struggling with the situation more than he cared to admit.
    My heart thumped in my chest as I
began to put the pieces together slowly. I was being asked to go to a strip
club with two very sexy, very adventurous alpha males, who loved to walk on the
wild side. I got a feeling this was something they had done more than once, and
I was being asked to join them. Even in my alcohol induced haze I knew I was
playing with fire. I thought carefully before I replied. “I’m here because you
hired me, remember? If you want to share me it’s up to you.”
    I was stuck somewhere between
extremely pissed off and highly aroused at the thought of Parker wanting to
share this part of his world with me. I didn’t know if I could follow through
with it, but at the same time, I secretly longed to find out.   
    His brow furrowed. “Can you drop
the escort excuse for a minute please? This is serious, Lo,” he paused, “We’ve
both had a lot to drink. We should probably just call it a night and talk about
this tomorrow.”
    “No!” The intensity in my voice
surprised us both. Regaining my composure I started again, “I’m not sure if I’m
going to like this or not, but I want to see for myself. If this is part of who
you are then I want to know.” I grabbed his hand. “Show me.”
    Parker’s eyes were fixed on the
table. He wrung his hands and let out a deep sigh of relief. “This is new to
me, too. I’ve never done anything like this with someone like you. Someone I
cared about.” His concerned gaze met mine. “What if things get carried away?”
    He did it again. He said he cared
about me. It seemed ironic considering what we were discussing, but somehow I believed
him. I saw how hard he was struggling to make sense of it, and in many ways I
was, too. I wanted to cling to the escort defense. I wanted to throw it in his
face, to blame everything on him. It was easier to believe that I was playing a
part than it was to admit that I wanted to see and feel everything he had to
offer. Here with him, I felt free. Free to do things I never thought I’d do and
be somebody that I’d never have the chance to be again. Maybe I would regret it
later, but that was a chance I was willing to take.
    I reached over and placed my hand
inside of his. His eyes still questioned me, and I wanted to reassure him. “I
don’t know if I’m ready for this or not, but I’m ready to find out. What about
Cole? What does he expect?”
    “He knows to keep his hands off
you unless…”
    “Unless what?” I blinked
expectantly, my curiosity fully peaked.
    “Whatever happens, he knows to
let you take the lead. He’ll keep his hands to himself as long as you do.”
    Now it made sense. Parker told
him I was his guest as a warning.  My heart swelled a little at the
thought of him protecting me even though he was willing to share me. It was
confusing.
    I spotted Cole making his way
back toward the table. The way he moved reminded me of Parker, shoulders
squared, confident and athletic. I noticed with amusement how he caught the
attention of more than one of the ladies in the room.  
    “Let’s go.” I may have sounded
confident, but inside I
