with the ladies when they start playing some music I can dance to.”
    “Dancing ain’t action. What you two need is a little help.” Desmond pulled out a prescription bottle that had the label removed. “One of these pills in a drink puts a chick in a real mellow mood. Two pills and she’ll do whatever you want. Three would put her out for the night with no memory of what you and your buddy did to her.”
    Glenn eyed the bottle. Luke concentrated on sipping his drink, obviously uncomfortable.
    “Buy a girl a drink and put two in there. You can take her back to your car and fuck her. Just bring her back to the restaurant and leave her by the bathroom.”
    Glenn turned to Desmond. “How much?”
    “Take these for free. I’ll cut you a good deal if you want more.” He winked and sipped his drink. “This shit would be better if it had a couple of shots of tequila in it. Later.” Desmond left and headed for the bar.

    “Cool it, Sarah. What if Mandy comes back?” Chet said, reluctantly.
    “What? She’s going to crawl under the table and see? Chill out. Don’t tell me you don’t like it.”
    “You’re giving me a boner.”
    Sarah giggled. “I’ll give you more than that. When Mandy gets back I’ll excuse myself. Meet me in the ladies room, and I’ll reduce the swelling.”
    “You’re going to get me in trouble.”
    “I like trouble. It gets me off.”
    “Hey guys. Where’s Desmond and Mandy?” Serena returned to the table and sat next to Sarah.
    Chet composed himself. “Des wandered off. I think he’s over at the bar. Mandy is—”
    “Mandy is right here.” The shapely blonde laid a bag from the gift shop on the table and slid next to Chet. She could tell from Chet’s body language that Sarah continued to massage his crotch.
    Desmond sat, now holding a full drink and a bowl of cheese crackers and pretzels. “Hey, what’s in the bag?”
    “It’s for later,” Mandy said.
    Before he could inquire further, Sarah excused herself from the table and gave Chet a nod.
    “Hold on. Serena and I will come with you,” Mandy said.
    “I just came back from the bathroom,” Serena said.
    “So did you,” Chet said.
    Mandy rose and held up the bag. “You’ll see. Come on, Serena.” She nudged Desmond, and he reluctantly got up to let her out. The three girls left for the outside bathroom.
    “What’s that all about?” Desmond said.
    “I don’t know. Sarah’s usually the one coming up with wild ideas. I’m not sure what Mandy’s planning.” Chet’s drink bottomed out on a long draw.
    “What’s up? You look nervous. Mandy didn’t find out you been cheating on her, did she?”
    “No, and I want to keep it that way. I love Mandy and everything. But man, when a girl comes on to me I just can’t say no. I’m weak.” Chet paused.
    “Yeah, but it don’t mean nothing to me. I’m a business man, and I will take a little ’tang in trade every now and then.”
    Chet sipped air and melted ice. “How would you feel if you found out Serena cheated on you?”
    “That bitch better not cheat on me.” Desmond frowned. “Ain’t no way I would put up with that shit.”
    “Even if it was just once?”
    “What the fuck, man? Yeah, even if it was just once. What you getting at? You know something?”
    Chet quickly looked back at the table. “No. No.” He cleared his throat after having a difficult time answering. “I, I was just thinking how I would react if I caught Mandy cheating on me.”
    “It’s in a man’s blood to plant his seed in as many women as he can. It’s evolution and shit.”

    “Are you really going to spike a girl’s drink?” Luke asked.
    “I don’t know, but now I have options.” Glenn leaned over and for another mouthful of beach bomb. “I should say, we have options.”
    “No way. I couldn’t do that.”
    “Hey, I’m not going to hurt anyone. It’s not like girls our age are still virgins.”
    “Like us, you mean?”
    “Speak for yourself, Luke. I’ve
