  An excerpt from Vivian Wood’s His Virgin…

  Looking around, Eli saw Jack dancing with a redhead only a couple of feet away. She wore a glittering silver dress which was conservative compared to what most of the other women were wearing, but would still be considered risqué anywhere else.

  He always appreciated a good tease.

  Jack was clearly doing just fine, mask or not. Elijah looked for Henry next. He found him quickly getting intimately acquainted with a woman wearing a sheer ivory teddy with. Yep, the masks hadn't adversely affected their ability to pick up women one bit. He grinned.

  This place was crazy. And he loved it!

  It wasn't long before he found himself going with the flow, dancing with a group of women who looked like they were celebrating a bachelorette party. One woman even kissed him, but he soon found himself eyeing a petite blonde across the room. He noted she was wearing the same dress as the redhead from earlier, but in a shade of blue that looked beautiful on her.

  He excused himself from the bachelorette party, smiling apologetically when the women pouted. He couldn't keep his eyes off the hot and sexy blonde. Instantly he was hard. He headed toward her, and as he passed Jack and the redhead, she grabbed him by the wrist and pulled them both toward the mystery blonde. He ended up in one of the private booths alone with her before he knew it.

  He looked around for his friends, a tiny part of him feeling like he'd been set up. But they were nowhere to be seen.

  They're probably enjoying their own private shows, he thought as the blonde slammed him down into a chair and started dancing sexily in front of him.

  The music could still be faintly heard within the booth, but it was rapidly drowned out by the sexy sounds coming from the woman who was currently giving him the hottest lap dance he'd ever had in his entire life. She was so bold, rubbing her breasts against him and moaning, and he loved every second of what she was doing.

  She straddled him, wrapping her arms around his neck, and pressing her breasts against him. It was taking everything he had not to just grab her and kiss her passionately.She was so fucking sexy. And he wanted desperately to be inside her.

  Immediately.

  But he couldn’t.

  A presidential candidate like him knew better. And a random hookup should have been totally out of the question.

  He knew all this, yet his self-control was rapidly disappearing. Suddenly she pulled him close for a kiss. Her lips were soft and inviting, and when he felt her playfully nip at his bottom lip, he couldn't help but respond in turn.

  Flirting with his hands and mouth was the best he could do, so he decided to make the most of it. He was shocked when she suddenly removed her mask, pulling his head into her cleavage.

  “Mmm,” she moaned as he started licking her sweaty skin.

  Jesus! She tastes so fucking good, he thought, unable to suppress the urge to get a little taste of heaven.

  “You taste so fucking good, babe,” he said, slightly raising his head to try and see her face. But she kept his head pressed down against her breasts.

  “Make me feel good,” she murmured in between moans as she rubbed against his crotch.

  Eli continued to nibble on her, moving from her neck to her breasts, and back again. He couldn't believe how good she was making him feel. She was driving him insane, and she wasn't even stripping yet!

  Lifting his head, he studied her face. She had deep set blue eyes, and full, pouty lips. Her high nose had a thin bridge that matched the rest of her delicate, petite features.

  She was easily one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen.

  He realized his pulse was pounding. This definitely wasn't normal for him.

  He'd met and dated plenty of women in the past. But none of them had affected him like this, and certainly not within such a short time span. Sure, they'd all gorgeous, but his heart racing like this was certainly a first.

  Was it because he hadn't hooked up with someone in awhile? He didn't know.

  But the one thing Eli did know, was that this woman was not only young, but also drunk. Getting involved with her right now was the last thing he needed to be doing.

  “Good girls should be in bed, babe,” he whispered.

  What little self-control he had left was rapidly eroding, but he was afraid if he made a move now he wouldn't stop until things were too late.

  She gave a soft chuckle in his ear. She was alternating between nipping and sucking at his earlobe, and he groaned when he felt her hot breath on his neck.

  “Is that an invitation?” she asked sensuously, making his cock pulse with need. Her lips felt so fucking soft, and he wanted to taste and feel more of her.

  You're wearing a mask. She'll never know who you are. Eli heard a voice in his head, urging him to give in already.

  Right. He was there to have fun. Why was he fighting this? He could tell that she wanted him.

  It was mutual.

  It didn't have to be as complicat
ed as he was making it, right? They'd hook up, no strings attached, and go their separate ways.

  There was nothing wrong with it.

  “The bed is here for a reason,” Eli spoke huskily, having finally decided to let his monster take over.

  “Oh,” she said, then giggled. Rising from his lap, she swayed unsteadily on her feet. He was quick to grab her by the waist and keep her from falling over.

  Growing impatient, Eli stood up, preparing to scoop her tiny body into his arms and just carry her to the bed. But he'd scarcely entertained the thought when the redhead came bursting into the private booth, dragging the blonde away despite her protests.

  “Let's go!” the redhead yelled, earning a scowl from the blonde.

  “What?”

  “We need to go. Come on!”

  They were gone before he could react, but part of him felt an incredible sense of relief that circumstances had stopped him before things had gone too far. As much as he'd wanted her, he'd known it wasn't a good idea to sleep with her.

  “Where did she go?” Jack questioned, coming out of the booth next to Eli's.

  “Gone,” Eli responded with a shrug, patting his friend on the shoulder.

  Jack looked simultaneously frustrated and amused. “Is everything okay?” Eli asked. Jack gave him a pained look in response.

  “She puked on me!” he cried in disgust as he checked his pants. Eli burst into laughter. No wonder the redhead had been in such a rush. She must have been embarrassed.

  “Come on,” he said, leading Jack back to the bar. “Plenty of fish in the sea, right? The night's still young.”

  But Eli knew he was lying to himself about wanting to meet anyone else. Not after he'd had a taste of the mystery blonde…
