I head out of my office and into the lobby, most of the guys are packing up to head home, some are staying working on their current assignments. As I’m at the door I catch Connor coming out of his office.
“Yo, Con, you coming to my parents for dinner tonight?” he looks up and smiles, he loves my mom’s cooking, but he doesn’t like sitting around Kat.
“Hell yeah I’m coming for dinner, Mrs. Slade makes the best home cooked food ever, she’s a real life June Cleaver,” He says on a laugh, but he isn’t joking, my mom is a home maker. I think it’s her mission to be better than June Cleaver.
As I’m headed out the door I see Selena being her usual bitchy self. I edge up closer to her, she’s going off on Dwayne. Now Dwayne is your typical preppy looking kid, but he is a computer genius and has a heart of gold. “Ugh, why must you be so annoying, you’re only a child!” She’s working my last damn nerve.
“SELENA, talk to my employees like that once more and you’re fired, now go home.” She huffs and heads out the front door. I turn to Dwayne.
“Kid, you’ve got to start sticking up for yourself.” He has a big smile on his face.
“It’s okay boss, I got it covered, she’s playing hard to get, that’s all.” Damn the kid is funny as fuck.
“Ok Dwayne, whatever you say, I’m done for the day and I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Later, boss.”
I pull up to my parent’s house and everyone is here before me including Connor, the jackass. I walk into the house without knocking, I see my father in the sitting room with a beer. I walk over “Hey old man, how you been?” He pretends to be hurt, putting his hand by his heart.
“Old man? I’ll have you know I’ve still got it, just ask your mother.” Dad says and I think I might throw up in my mouth.
“Hey Kitty, come here honey.” He calls for my mom. Oh God I need a fucking drink.
“Yes, sweetie what’s wrong?” Mom says as she enters the room he smirks at me.
“Tell your son, I’m not old, tell him about last night.” He says as he slaps her on her ass, I’m gagging.
“Stop, enough of that shit, can’t you act like parents?” I leave the room and head to the kitchen and get myself a drink. My mother comes back in and says dinner is ready to be served.
We head to the dining room, I sit next to Connor and my mom. Thank God, otherwise it will be either the pervy old man or the idiot brother. “Any big cases Brody?” My mother asks my dopey brother. He leans back in his chair, and acts like he owns the NYPD.
“Nope, no major cases, crime isn’t as high as it used to be.” Like he would know, the damn moron.
“What you been up to Kat?” My mother quickly changes the subject because even Kat is giving Brod’s the stink eye.
“We have a new sale on this week; the place is doing really well.” Kat owns a boutique, it does really well apparently. Mom looks over to me and just smiles; she knows I don’t talk about cases, you know, client confidentiality and all.
Kat is really protective of me, she had a problem with a guy she dated for three years. She was in love with Jack and he was in love with her money and her best friend. She is now bitchy to anyone and everyone who gets close to any of us. I know she is just trying to protect us but she takes it too far. Once at an event we went to she made my date cry with her bitchiness. Dinner runs smoothly for a change, except dad groping mom every chance he gets, the dirty fucker. That is one thing a child does not need to see. Well it was going fine until Connor opened his mouth the damn moron, “So are you going to come out with us this weekend Brody? I need to get laid.” He has a big smile on his face as he asks my brother.
My eyes sweep to Kat I see the hurt in them before she shuts it down, stands up and says, “I hope your little pecker falls of you disgusting fucker.” Then she leaves the room leaving everyone looking at Connor. The fucker has no idea my little sister is in love with him. That wraps dinner up and we all say our goodbyes and leave. I’m dog tired, so when I get home I take a shower and collapse into my bed.
Chapter Five
Sophia
“Bitch, I’m so excited, we haven’t had a night out in years.” Winter’s not the only one excited, both Maddie and I are as well, it’s been a long time coming. They waited for me to get better so we can drink ourselves stupid and dance the night away.
“So where are we headed?” Maddie always has to know, me? I prefer to go where the night brings me. Winter doesn’t really care, she’s happy as long as there are drinks, music and men.
“Pulse, we all look hot as fuck. I’m hoping that you two get fucked as well. Your coochies must be lonely, when was the last time you both had sex?” I roll my eyes at Winter’s response, she never stops. She’s acting weird and her eyes hold so much pain. She sees me staring and smiles, which is genuine.
Wints is wearing a gold sequined halter neck top that is tight on her stomach but loose around her boobs, I’m kind of worried if she moves too much they may just pop out; her skirt if you can call it that is a black tight fit, it barely covers her ass. Her long black hair is flowing in waves to the middle of her back and her natural golden tanned skin makes her brown eyes pop, she has heavy yet sultry makeup on.
Maddie has gone for the more sophisticated look, her black dress is more modest than my own, hers hits below her knees. It clings to her in all the right places, her blond hair is curled and a red clip is holding it to the left of her head with the ponytail hanging down in curls, her makeup is very subtle as her porcelain skin is flawless.
My dress, it’s a black and pink bodycon, I feel sexy, something I haven’t felt in a long time what with being in the army and being stuck with guys 24/7. I have scars, a lot of them, I don’t feel sexy knowing they are scattered on my body. I don’t get to be feminine very often, so going out with the girls and dressing up, I’m finally able to feel like a lady again.
My brown hair is straightened and falls mid-back. My skin is also golden tanned. Unlike Wints, who gets hers from her Hispanic background, mine is from being in Afghanistan for so long. I put minimal makeup on, knowing if I add more I’ll look like a connect the dots puzzle when I wake up, zits are not nice! We all wear fuck me heels, the Christian Louboutin, you know the ones, black and underneath is a colour? Yeah? Well, mine is pink, Maddie’s is red and Winter’s is gold, we got them on sale, score!
“Please stop talking about my lady parts.” Maddie says with a groan. Poor Maddie, still hates talking about her sex life.
“It needs to be talked about, it feels lonely, at least me talking about it makes it feel wanted.” Comes Winter’s sarcastic reply.
Ummm what? “WTF WINTS?! Seriously, you’re demented, just shut it you damn slut.” I say and I can see the pain flicker in her eyes, it makes me feel bad. I want to find out what’s happened.
Now she acts all affronted hands on her hips, “I’m not a slut, I just like spreading my joy around, and my joy is my coochie, y’all are just jealous.” She has a fake smile now. I’ll get her alone and talk to her.
We head for dinner first; we love Italian so we head to Donatello’s. Winter booked the reservation, the food here is truly amazing: it’s not overpriced, it’s great food, great atmosphere and loads of wine. We absolutely love it here. We order for the table Gnocco Fritto, then for mains Winter orders her usual Tagliolini Ai Funghi, it’s a posh way of saying pasta mixed with mushrooms; Maddie goes for the Spaghetti Schizzet, spaghetti mixed with seafood; I order the Poettole Ragu, the lamb mixed with pasta.
Our conversation flows to what the girls have been up to since the last time we met. Apparently Theo is a bad boy and has been sleeping with his father’s maid as well as with Winter. “That douchnozzle can go fuck himself the motherfucking wankshaft.” Winter says making me spit out my wine.
“Wankshaft?” I ask her because seriously like what the fuck is that?
“What? I heard a British girl on the phone say it, she was like that wankshaft is a bastard. I waited for her to ge
t off the phone, I asked her what wankshaft meant, she told me it was like calling someone a cunt.” I burst out laughing at her poor imitation of the British accent.
“I love it, sounds so much better than douchnozzle.” Maddie says with a smile on her face however Winter looks at Maddie with so much hate. I’m confused.
“Okay, wankshaft it is.” I say and see Winter gives me one of her massive smiles, that is the Winter I know, but just as quickly I see fear and pain flash through her eyes. Something has happened and she’s hurting, I intend to find out what. Once we’re finished with dinner we pay up and head out the door and hail a cab and head to Pulse.
The club is packed but the beats are good. We head straight for the bar. Wints leans over, her boobs almost popping out, and of course the bartender zeros in on her. Typical male. She orders our drinks, we get our usual drinks and two shots each because she wants us paralytic by the time we are home.
We have three Rum and Cokes, a shot of Tequila and a shot of Jagermeister each. We down the shots quickly, drink our Rum and Coke, and head to the dance floor, just as our song starts up. Winter starts whooping and hollering
“Come on girls, let’s show them that it isn’t just Usher that’s got the moves.”
As the bass for “Love in the Club” starts pumping through the club our bodies start moving to the song, winding and grinding up against each other. This is why we come, to let loose and forget everything. As the rap part of Young Jezzy starts we turn to each other and start rapping along. We don’t care who’s watching us, we’re letting loose and having fun.
Once the song finishes we head back and find a table and I head off and get the drinks. The bartender spots me immediately. “What can I get ya?” I give him a smile.
“Can I please get three Rum and Cokes?” He nods and heads off to fix them.
“Can I buy you a drink?” I look to my left where the voice came from. He’s kind of good looking if you like that preppy look, the blond hair, blue eyed goody two shoes.
“No, thank you, but thanks for the offer.” I give him a soft smile, he nods and gives me a huge smile and turns to a woman who just arrived on his left.
Luckily the bartender is back, I pay him and tell him to keep the change and head back to the girls. I shouldn’t have been surprised that there are now five men at the table, but that’s typical Winter, she’s always had male attention, she laps it up but looking at her now, she doesn’t seem all that comfortable.
“Hey sugar, aren’t you a hot little thing?” OMG where does she get these from? I hate being called Sugar. This man looks old enough to be my dad, he’s about 6 feet, brown hair with slivers of grey running through, he’s not bad to look at if you can get over his age.
“I’m not your Sugar, Sugar!” He narrows his eyes and turns towards Maddie, who God bless her is stuck between two of them. I hand them their drinks as Maddie makes her way out from between the two men. She comes to stand next to me. She looks back at Winter and gives her the stink eye, which earns her a smirk from Winter.
The music changes to the Pussycat Dolls “Don’t cha”. I look to Maddie and she is smiling. I turn back and find Winter in deep conversation with one of the guys, the others leave the table.
We head back to the dance floor, I can feel eyes on me, they feel like I’m being seared by them. I throw my head around and almost stop.
The hottest looking male specimen I have ever seen is staring at me, his eyes zeroed in on my ass. His eyes jolt from my ass to my face, he searches it, then stops at my eyes, he’s looking directly at them, he smiles, my pussy clenches and my panties are soaked.
His face is gorgeous; there is no other way to describe it.
I shake my head and turn and carry on walking to the dance floor. We start our “whore dancing” as Maddie calls it. I’m grateful I can get myself under control. I don’t know what happened, that has never happened to me, I’m controlled, I don’t turn to mush when someone smiles at me.
I can still feel him staring at me, and for some reason that turns me on, I start dancing more provocatively.
I don’t know why, but thank fuck for Maddie, she starts doing the same. I don’t know what is happening to me.
Fuck me, I’m acting like a slut.
Chapter Six
Nathan
“Come out with us tonight Nath. You need to let loose, get your dick sucked, fuck someone, do something instead of moping around the place.” Connor’s always thinking about sex. No woman will ever be able to match his sexual appetite. I think about it for a second, I haven’t had a night out in ages.
“Fine, but any skanks come near me, I’m leaving.” He smirks at me. The fucker. He knows they will, it’s like they swarm as soon as they find out my name.
We head to Pulse. It’s one of the very few clubs that I actually like. We head to the VIP section and settle into one of the booths facing down onto the bar and dance floor. I order my drink, Whiskey neat. Only Irish whiskey will do, Jamison and Paddy’s are my favourite but it’s hard to find in some clubs for some reason but this club has both, I get the Jameson. Connor goes for the same, some of the guys from work are here too, and they all go for beer.
I look down to the bar and see Dwayne trying his luck with a woman by the looks of things, she has brown hair but that’s about all I can see as Dwayne is blocking her. Whatever she says he doesn’t look too defeated, turns to the woman on his left and tries again, the kid has heart, you’ve got to give him that.
I finally see the woman Dwayne was originally talking to, Jesus, Fuck, her ass, it’s amazing. Her dress, it does wonders for her. I can’t make out her face though.
She heads over to a table, where there are five men and two women, one of the guy’s looks at her and speaks to her, next thing he turns and talks to the blonde women sitting beside him. This girl hands out the drinks and doesn’t sit, in fact she stays at the end of the table where the blonde women gets out from the table leaving the men and one woman sitting. A song starts up and the blonde looks to the brunette and smiles, they start to make their way to the dance floor.
I can’t take my eyes of this girl’s ass, suddenly I feel her looking at me, my head shoots up, I search her face. This girl is fucking beautiful. I finally make it to her eyes, they look wounded, but fuck they are amazing, I smile at her. She looks, then shakes her head and turns back and continues walking to the dance floor.
She’s torturing me, she has to be, someone is fucking torturing me. The way her body moves, it’s hypnotizing. All of a sudden her dancing changes, it turns seductive. I can see in the corner of my eye a guy heading over to her, I bunch my fists up. He walks directly over to her and puts his hands on her hips. Oh fuck no. I get up and stalk over to her, my eyes not leaving her. She looks up at me as I’m making my way down the stairs, she has defiance in her eyes and fuck if I know why, but it makes me hard as fucking steel.
I don’t know what’s going on, I never have this reaction to a woman. I make it to the dance floor and change my stare, I stare at the asshat who has his hands on her. I want to fucking rip him off her. I don’t even know her name. I’m going insane. Asshat takes the hint and starts backing away. She’s looking at me like I’ve lost my mind, I probably have. I need to say something, “Hi I’m Nathan, dance with me?” she’s fighting a smile, but her eyes twinkle.
“Sure. My names Sophia.” Holy shit her voice is like sin. I’m in trouble, and I don’t know if I want to get out of it.
We dance for a few more songs and my dick hurts like a motherfucker. I'm worried I'm going to embarrass myself like a 14-year-old virgin, I’m so turned on from having her grind up and down on me.
The woman can dance; her body grinds on me, we’re dancing in sync, it’s fucking hot. Her body fits mine like a fucking glove. Once the song is finished I take her hand and start walking. She pulls on my hand, I turn and look down at her. She’s about 5’8 with her fuck me heels on. Compared to my 6’6 she looks tiny. I feel protective of her, it’s t
hose damn eyes, they are haunted and wounded, I want to be the one to take that look away, oh fuck, someone needs to take my man card away from me, I’m sounding like a pussy.
“What’s wrong Sophia?” she is looking directly into my eyes, it’s almost as if she can see directly into my soul.
“I need to get Maddie; she is coming with me.” I look around seeing who she is talking about; I’m presuming it’s the blonde she was dancing with. I look down at Sophia and smile. She rolls her eyes at me, fuck, why do I think that is sexy?
“Maddie, you okay hon?” The girl Maddie looks around, she seems shy.
“Yeah Soph, are we going back to Wints or what?” Absolutely fucking not, she is coming with me. I look at Sophia, she looks torn, I give her a slow smile and her lips turn up at the sides.
“I want to go with Nathan, come with us, I’m sure Nathan has a few friends you could talk to.” She looks at me in question, I nod, damn I’m going to have to cock block a few of the guys, well so fucking be it.
“Yeah of course, come on ladies. What can I get you both to drink?” they share a smile.
“We’ll have a shot of Tequila, a shot of Jägermeister, and a Rum and Coke.” Oh God they’re having shots, they will get along with the guys. They’re alcoholics at the best of times, get them started on shots and forget about it, they will run this place dry.
“Sure, come on ladies let me introduce you to the guys.” I introduce the two of them to the guys “This is Connor, Steve and Jamie. I do believe you met Dwayne earlier.” Sophia laughs.
“Yeah I met him earlier, though we never did get to introduce ourselves.” Sophia replies making the guys laugh.
“Dwayne got rejected again.” Tommy says with a chuckle.
Maddie sits on the outside and Dwayne sits next to her. I start talking to Sophia, I want to get to know her. “So Sophia, how old are you?”
