He blew out an exasperated breath as he studied my face and leaned into my hand. “See you tonight?”
“See you, tonight.”
He leaned in and gently kissed me on the lips then pulled away. I watched him grab his jacket and walk toward my door. Before he left, he turned and looked at me one last time before giving me a shy smile and walking out.
There had to be a reason why insecurity ran through his eyes just a minute ago. Something happened to him that made him the way he was and a part of me wanted to find out, wanted to know the man before the Lafayette Club. I wanted to know what broke him down and made him put up such strong, almost impenetrable, walls. I wanted to get to know the man, Jett Colby, not just the owner of the Lafayette Club. I was in trouble where my heart was concerned, but there was no turning back now. I already fell for the man and there was nothing I could do about it, besides try to get to know him better.
Chapter Thirty-Six
“Feelin’ Myself”
GOLDIE / LO
“Holy shit, we looked hot out there,” Pepper said, as she fixed her costume.
We were all wearing black bustiers with black garter belts, wide-gauge fishnet stockings and black heels. Our masks were covered in feathers, our hair was pulled pack in high ponytails with feathers, and we were each wearing feather-encrusted, cropped mini gloves. I had to admit we looked damn good.
Tootse really went all out with these outfits and I was genuinely impressed with her ability to design, create, and produce such eye-catching outfits. Yes, they were sparse, but what fabric was there was intricate, seamed perfectly and every feather and bedazzle was placed on the outfits by hand.
“When don’t we look hot?” Babs asked, as she reapplied lipstick to all of our lips. She was always making sure we were looking our best, not displaying one flaw.
“I think I’m having a bad reaction to the waxing we got the other day; anyone else having the same issue?” Tootse asked as she fiddled around with the seams of her underpants near her crotch.
We all shook our heads and Francy took a step back to look at her girl. Realization of what was wrong hit Francy as she shook her head and laughed to herself.
“Hey babe, maybe try wearing your panties the correct way,” Francy said lovingly.
“What are you talking about?”
“Do you see us wearing the crotch of our panties up our ass?” Francy spun around and showed off her mostly-covered ass.”
We all looked down at Tootse and noticed she was wearing her panties backwards and laughed hysterically as Tootse flipped us all off and tore off her panties to put them back on the right way.
“Well, if Jett allowed enough lighting in this damn place for me to see . . .”
“It’s not the lighting, babe. It’s the beach-blonde hair that is working against you.” Francy placed a light kiss on Tootse’s lips as she held her chin and said, “Thank God you’re pretty.”
“Come on ladies, save it for your bedroom,” Kace said entering the room.
“Hate crime,” Francy muttered, making Kace’s eyes pop wide open.
He crossed his arms in front of his chest and said, “Hate crime, really? I’m pretty sure that’s the furthest from the truth. By all means, make out, I would be more than happy to watch.”
“Ugh, pig,” Tootse said as she wrapped her arm around Francy and nuzzled closely.
Kace rolled his eyes and rubbed his hands together. “Francy, you good on drinks? We only have four men who want a lap dance and I figured you would want to sit out.”
“You know that’s how I prefer it, plus, I like to see my lady work it.” Francy squeezed Tootse, making Tootse’s face light up with love. They were sickeningly cute. “But is Jett going to allow Lo to go out there?” Francy and all the other girls snorted, making me feel like a child.
“I can do what I want,” I said defiantly.
“Surprisingly, you can,” Pepper eyed me. I sensed a little bit of jealousy, but it quickly washed away as she smiled at me.
“Enough,” Kace cut the girls off. “Lo, you have seat two, Pepper you are seat five, Tootse, seat six—”
“Fuck, is that the heavy breather? I saw his chest heaving as we were dancing.”
Kace didn’t answer, he just smirked. “And Babs you have seat one. Everyone got it? It’s fifteen tonight so make it good.”
