a gold trimmed, black pin and reached for her dress, "May I?"
    She looked at the pin and read Eden VIP then nodded warily, afraid of what she might be consenting to.
    “Relax. You’ll love what’s coming next.” He promised.
    He slid the pin onto her dress, his fingers brushing the swell of her breast once, twice...three times, before his hands left her. She looked up, his hungry gaze scorching hers.
    "There you two are!" Harper exclaimed, coming up to them with his arm around Cadence. Her friend wore a VIP pin, as well.
    "Here we are," Noah offered, less enthused.
    Harper just grinned and elbowed him in the ribs. "Good. We made it in time for the show."
    "What show?" Cadence asked Harper, her eyes drinking in his gorgeous maleness.
    Harper pulled her closer and whispered something that made Cadence blush fiercely and he laughed deeply.
    Shaking her head, Alexis looked around. It had to be liveentertainment of some sort.
    She wondered if they would be watching strippers together. It would be weird if they were. She’d never been to one before.
There’s always a first time for everything
.
    Grasping her hand, Noah pulled her along to the front row of a half circular booth with a table, in clear view of the stage before them. It wasn't a large room, but a cozy setting for an intimately small gathering of maybe 100 people. Harper and Cadence followed, sitting next to them and then more people came into the room, taking up the rest of the seats. Alexis saw Mateo sitting with a dark-skinned beauty to their left. Gabriel followed with a hot redhead and Elijah followed with a very handsome, tanned male.
    Alexis didn't judge, to each their own. Elijah winked at her and she smiled, winking back and heard him laugh.
    A waiter came to their cozy booth taking orders.
    A few minutes later, their table had bottles of red wine and platters of assorted cheeses. The wine was sweet and intoxicating. They all chatted, drank and before long, the atmosphere was live.
    "Are you ready? It's time." Noah asked a few moments later.
    "Yes." She replied, though she didn't know what she was supposed to be ready for. She truly hoped it wasn’t a strip show. She did not want to watch people strip. She only wanted to watch one person take their clothes of at the moment. And she sat next him, tucked possessively against him; his arm anchoring her to his side.
    I could get used to this
.
    As soon as she finished that thought, the curtains opened and her breath caught.
    Right in front of her, literally, was one of her all-timefavorite bands!
    Dark Muse! Right in front me!
    Alexis looked over at Cadence and knew her face mirrored her best friend’s utter shock and ecstasy. She wanted to jump up and down in her seat like a toddler who was just told she would be going to Disneyland! She could barely contain her squeal of excitement when Jared Montague smiled down at her!
Jared!
    Noah chuckled next to her, causing her to look over at him. His eyes sparkled with unconcealed amusement.
    "Like them, do you?" He asked grinning at her.
    "Oh my God, yes! They are my favorite band!" She exclaimed looking back at the band. It must’ve cost Noah a mini fortune to get them here in such a private setting. She wouldn't think about that. She would just revel in the moment and enjoy herself.
    She grabbed Noah's hand and squeezed, mouthing a thank you. He merely smiled and nodded, sitting back, leaving her to get wrapped up in the performance.
    Dark Muse performed all of her favorite songs and she had to wonder if this wasn't planned out for her. But there was no way that Noah could have known about this or whether she was even coming tonight. Right? It’s not like he was stalking her or anything. She shoved the absurd idea away and watched her favorite band wrap up the performance with her favorite song from them, Sweet Cry.
    The band came down to greet them when they finished and Noah introduced them to Alexis and Cadence.
    "Ah, so you are the lucky women," Jared
