  Ellie

  Andre drops his shirt just as it hits me where I am, and what I’m watching. They are strippers.

  I don’t know why but I turn and run straight back out the door of the strip club, ignoring Kaiden shouting for me to come back. I can’t even think straight.

  The bouncers look a little surprised as I burst out the door and duck under the rope. I know the city well enough to find my way back to Liz's apartment and that’s the only thought running through my mind. Not the sight of Andre’s perfect chest and the way he moved his body. Not the way Todd looked as he danced and the way the shirt he was undoing stuck to him, showing off his impressive chest.

  Why the hell did Kaiden bring me here? The image of Andre and the slow teasing way he took his clothes off will not be something I can forget. The way he danced near Todd, both of them in time to the music and making all the woman in the room cheer.

  "Ellie, wait," Kaiden shouts behind me and I feel his hand on my arm as I stop in the middle of the street. A drunk couple walk past us as I turn to look at him and he lets go of my arm.

  "Why did you run?" He asks and I give him my best are you stupid look.

  "You’re strippers! My baby’s father is a stripper and that's not the way I should have found out!" I whisper harshly.

  "Yes, we are strippers and we own that club, but come on, it's not that bad," he says and moves closer.

  "Why don't you come back? I really wanted to bring you, not just to show you who we are but we may have a job for you," he says, his tone gentle and it matches the soft look on his face.

  "I'm not stripping for you," I say and glare at him as I cross my arms. He laughs and a few people look over. Holy ducks, he has a really nice laugh.

  "You might strip for me one day and I will be a very lucky man but that's not tonight. No, tonight I want to show you the office and the accountant job we have open," he says and my red cheeks feel like they are burning. Nothing about that sentence was playful, no, it was sinful.

  "I'm pregnant, you shouldn't want to hire me," I say and shake my head.

  "That's the very reason we should and you’re family to us now. Andre and all of us are like brothers and well, we want to keep you around," he says and moves even closer. So close I can feel how warm he is as he blocks the cold wind.

  "We?" I ask and he moves his head close to the side of mine, way too close but I hold still as his soft lips brush the top of my ear.

  "We." He repeats my word but it's far more sensual and makes me close my eyes. After I take a deep breath, I force myself to open my eyes and Kaiden is still so close to me. His lips inches from mine, his eyes searching me for something.

  "Ellie," he whispers my name like a prayer and just when I think he is going to kiss me, a loud girl’s giggling interrupts us. I glance over in shock as I'm pushed out of the way and a blonde bombshell squeezes herself in front of me, so she is facing Kaiden. The woman has long curly blonde hair and she is wearing a tight red dress that matches her red heels. Holy ducks, I don’t know the woman and I’m pissed off that she pushed me out the way, but I want her shoes. They are some seriously hot heels.

  "Kaiden, are you dancing tonight?" She asks and Kaiden surprises me with his next words.

  "Not tonight, my pregnant girlfriend needs me."

  Did he really just call me his girlfriend and kind of imply my baby is his?

  "Oh, hello," the woman turns and gives me a fake smile as she looks me over.

  "Never mind, I will go and see Andre," she says and I swallow the stupid amount of jealously I feel as I watch her walk off. Kaiden catches my eyes for a second and frowns at whatever he sees.

  "We don't sleep with the girls that come to the club, we are not that kind of strippers. Anyway, she is-" he tells me.

  "Sure, you don't," I cut him off, as I watch the woman disappear into the club.

  “Doesn’t mean they don’t try to get to know us,” Kaiden says and I stare up at him as he smiles at me.

  "Let’s go back home and I will cook us something, food always makes things better," he tells me and as much as that sounds great, I don’t think I can. It was a bad idea to move in with them, I don’t know them and finding out they are strippers could be just one of many things I find out that I don’t like.

  "I think I should," I get out but I stop mid-sentence when I realise that I don’t know what I want. Walking away from them now seems like a choice and it’s something I need to think about.

  "Give us a chance? At least talk to me before you run," he says and I look up to meet his eyes.

  "Okay," I find myself saying and watching as his face lights up.

  I have a feeling I might regret this.

  Ellie

  "Pizza?" I smile as Kaiden pulls out two frozen pizzas fro
m the freezer.

  "I'm a guy, this is the best I can do without burning something. Guys can't cook, well, except that Jamie Oliver. That man is a god," Kaiden shakes his head and gets some trays out.

  "Why don't you go and sit in the lounge? I’ll follow in a minute," he says and I nod as I slip my shoes off. I carry my shoes to the entrance hall and leave them next to the others. They really need to get a shoe rack, I think, as I look at the pile of messy shoes.

  I walk into the lounge and I'm a little surprised to see Dom watching football on the tv. He’s dressed in only black sweatpants and he has a beer in his hand. Not that I mind the view but these guys never seem to wear shirts. I guess they have the bodies and the confidence from being strippers. Dom turns his head to look at me,

  "So, you didn't run," he says, I'm not sure if it's a question or not so I don't answer. I go to sit on the other sofa when his voice stops me.

  "Come here, Ellie," he says and pats the seat next to him. I hesitate and end up standing next to the sofa instead of sitting on it. I watch as his lips turn up in a smirk.

  "You’re pregnant and had a rough night, you should sit. Please Ellie," he says, and I'm surprised at the protectiveness in his statement as I look into his deep brown eyes behind the black rimmed glasses.

  I gulp a little and mentally remind myself that he is just a hot and intimidating man. Well, a hot stripper who most likely can move like a god. Best not to think about those kind of moves, best not to think about him at all. If only my eyes would stop slipping past his face to stare at his strong chest and all the muscles on his arms.

  I slide into the sofa, making sure to keep some space between us.

  "How are you feeling today?" Dom asks.

  "Fine, I don't get morning sickness and so far, I'm just tired a lot," I tell him and he nods. The dim light from the two lamps in the room cast shadows around his stern face. The only way I can describe how he looks, is that he looks like a hot geeky guy you might find around a university. A guy that takes life too seriously, something I'm well known for doing.

  Oh, I know who he looks like, he looks like Clark Kent out of the Superman movies. He has the glasses and the sexy body. A sexy body I need to stop looking at.

  "Hey Dom," Kaiden says as he comes in the room. He sits in-between us, pressed closely to my side. It's like he can't stand not to touch me.

  I had years in a marriage where my ex-husband would never touch me or sit close to me like this. It's strange and yet, I like it.

  "So, you all strip for money and own a strip club?" I ask and Kaiden laughs as he leans back. I shiver a little as he puts his arm around me and I have to force myself to relax. The Tv is turned off and the room goes silent. I watch as Dom scoots closer on the other side of me, both of them pushed closely against me and I feel like I’m in a hot guy sandwich. A hot stripper sandwich? Holy ducks, that is not a sentence I should use out loud.

  "Yes, we own the club, called Four." Dom tells me.

  "Four of you?" I ask and look at Dom as he nods.

  "Yes, we inherited it five years ago. We worked there for years before we owned it and we all have an equal share." Kaiden tells me.

  "Why stripping?" I ask.

  "Have you ever been to a strip club? I mean other than tonight?" Kaiden asks me and I shake my head.

  "It's not as dirty and seedy as you’re thinking," Kaiden tells me and I cringe a little at his choice of words. That's exactly what I thought it was.

  "The previous owner of the club picked us up when we all had no jobs and honestly, we were all in bad places." Dom says, his voice lacking emotion.

  "Eric, the old owner, taught us to dance. He gave us a room in his apartment and when we were good enough, we went on the stage. Stripping is fun and sexy, if you do it right," Kaiden says and I shake my head.

  “I don’t see how it can be,” I stop when I see a flash of pain cross over Kaiden’s face. The sound of beeping interrupts me before I can say anything.

  “The pizza,” Kaiden stands up and walks out the room.

  “Can I give you a little advice?” Dom says, drawing my gaze back to him and I nod.

  “Kaiden has a bad past and this job saved his life. Don’t judge something you don’t understand.” Dom tells me and instantly I feel guilty.

  “Pizza is served,” Kaiden says with a big smile as he walks in the room. I think he has forgotten all about how annoyed he was or he’s a good actor. I’m going to guess the second option as he must be a little good at acting to be able to be a stripper. I don’t want to walk away from them and the job I need without giving it a chance. I’m a grown ass woman and I can deal with some hot guys who may be able to dance like gods.

  “I accept the job offer and want to go back.” I say to Kaiden who nearly drops the plates of pizza he’s holding.

  “Shit,” he says making me and Dom chuckle.

  Kaiden hands me a plate and moves to sit where he was before. The pizza is pepperoni and smells amazing. It doesn’t take me long to start eating it as I’m always hungry at the moment. Dom takes a slice off my plate as we all eat.

  “So how about we take you into work tomorrow evening? We don’t open until nine but if you want to work in the day, we could-” he says but I interrupt by holding a hand up. I lower my hand when I realise that I have no idea why I just did that and he is clearly trying not to laugh at me. Did I just put my hand up like I’m in school or something?

  “No, it’s cool. I need to get used to being up all night,” I say referring to the baby. I’ve always been a night owl so this won’t be a big difference for me.

  “So, do you take turns on the stage?” I ask.

  “Yes, the club is open Thursday to Sunday night. Two of us work each night and we have six other members of staff that work here as well. They are our backup dancers and we train them but they can handle the quieter nights. We usually know how busy we will be because we have a lot of online bookings.” Dom tells me as Kaiden eats more pizza.

  “So tomorrow?” I ask, a little of my nerves coming through my words.

  “Tomorrow,” Kaiden answers me with a wink.

  Kaiden

  “Goodnight, Ellie,” I say, watching as she leaves the living room after we finished eating. I force myself to look away from her perfect ass, her slim waist and her soft- looking brown hair. I don’t think I’ve been attracted to any girl like her before and she is the only girl that is so far off limits to me. I can’t have her and everything from her little smiles, the unusual way she speaks anything she thinks and her soft looking lips are drawing me in.

  I glance over to see Dominic looking at her in the same way I am, with desire.

  “She is something else,” I say and Dominic gives me a sharp look.

  “Come on, even you have to admit you’re jealous of Andre right now,” I say and he just grunts as an answer. The last girl that lived here was his ex-wife and that was a disaster. It started with just little things, her wearing next to nothing as she walked around the house. Then it was her walking in on us in the shower and eventually she kissed Todd. Then she told Dominic that Todd was lying, when we all know he wouldn’t lie about something like that. She did eventually admit to it and said she loved us all. Now it wouldn’t have been that bad, if she wasn’t sleeping with two of the other guys from our work. Fuck knows who else she was sleeping with. Dominic said they had been arguing a lot about her spending all his money, going out and getting drunk all the time. Kissing Todd was just the icing on the cake and they got a divorce. Dominic hasn’t trusted women since and it’s been a long time since I’ve seen him have any interest in anyone.

  “The last thing we need is to confuse her, you need to stay the fuck away from her, man.” Dominic says and I shrug. I wish I could say I could stay away from her but I can’t. I know way too much about her past as it is. Her ex-husband is accused of burning her home down that she got in her divorce and the charges against him were dropped yesterday. I don’t know how he got out of it but I b
et it’s something to do with the fact he’s a lawyer. I couldn’t find out why they got divorced but I’m fucking happy she left him. It looks like she’s just having a hard time getting on her feet and being pregnant must be stressful. Even if nothing happens between us, I’m still going to help her get her life sorted and the start of that, is getting her a new job. Then, we can work out everything else.

  “Andre may have gotten her pregnant but they aren’t together. It’s her choice, don’t you think?” I ask and Dominic takes his glasses off. I watch as he squeezes the bridge of his nose in annoyance.

  “Look, she’s pretty and sweet. I get why you like her, I won’t lie and say I don’t feel something for her too, but,” he stops to make sure I’m listening to him as he gets my eye contact.

  “Ellie needs to build a relationship with Andre, he looks at her the same way as we do and they’re having a baby together. Don’t think with your dick and get in the way of that,” he says and stands up.

  “It’s not my dick that’s thinking about her, well it is a little, but it’s more than just lust,” I say, being truthful with him.

  “You’re not the only one,” Dominic says before he storms out.

  Andre

  “She ran,” I tell Todd who nods as he pulls a yellow shirt on. The sight of Ellie watching me with such an expression of shock and disgust is not something I want to remember. I knew she wouldn’t take it well. I pick my phone up as it beeps.
