“Oh, my god. It’s Jared!!!” I scream at my friends, but when I turn around, I see that they have their own entertainers, Beau and Skyler! Ajani and Brittney look very happy, so I turn back around and continue to watch my man perform.
When the chorus starts—If you’re horny, let’s do it—Jared turns around, goes to one knee, and does thepower pull move toward me. He pushes off the ground and plants his stance with both legs shoulder-width apart, then does the tour pose, arms back and chest puffed out. He looks powerfully sexy.
I. Am. Speechless. And possibly drooling.
Beau and Skyler come up on Jared’s sides. Each perfectly positioned on the stage, still in front of their ladies. They all do a body roll, snap, lean with it and rock with it, then finish their dance with pelvic thrusts.Then they turn and do the same routine toward the audience so we get a good view of their asses and back muscles.
Jared walks behind me and frees my hands. I leap into his arms, wrapping my legs around his waist. “Are you real?”
His hand wraps around my hair and pulls, exposing my neck. Jared’s tongue dips out, tracing a line on my neck upto my begging lips. “I’m real, Dimples. I’m yours.” His lips crash against mine, and our tongues tangle against each other’s, fighting for control.
Darla’s voice pulls me back to reality. “Let’s give it up for these men, who asked me for a favor, and who learned a dance together to surprise their women!” She claps along with the audience.
Jared carries me backstage. “I don’t want to share you tonight.” His bottom lip juts out into a pout.
I bite it. “Hey, you crashed ladies’ night. Very romantically crashed it, but still.” I giggle against his bare neck.
“I did this to claim you. So now, everyone knows you’re mine. I was selfishly tired of waiting…” His stare is asking me if I’m okay with what just happened.
“Baby, I was also ready to mark you as mine. You’re just better at it than me,” I admit with a giggle.
He sets me down and pushes me against a wall, holding my arms up and over my head. “Can you repeat that again when I have my phone out recording?”
“Jared! KC!” Skyler’s voice booms through the backstage area.
“Holy shit, they loved us out there!” Beau’s arm is around Ajani’s shoulders as he walks up.
Brittney is on Skyler’s back, her smile beautiful and beaming.
“Uhm, why do I feel like my best friends were involved in this?!” I dramatically point at them.
Ajani and Brittney both do the zipper motion to their lips and start laughing as they throw away an invisible key.
I love them. I’m so fucking happy, and my heart feels full.
“Party at my house! I’ll order the pizza!” Skyler yells over his shoulder as he walks off, carrying Brittney.
CHAPTER 60
KC
The ladies’ night turned into a couples’ night, and we all hung out at Skyler’s house. He must do very well cage fighting; his home is big and beautiful. I might even say the place is elegant.
Obviously, Beau and Ajani are more than just friends; they shared a guest room that night. The next morning, Jared, Beau, and Skyler made breakfast while Ajani, Brittney, and I sat back, admiring them shirtless. It was a memory I’ll never forget.
It’s been a few days since I’ve been to work. It was a nice break spent with Jared. It really has felt like no time has passed, and we haven’t talked about the years spent apart. I’ll have to ask him what his plan is for after his contract is up.
I’m grabbing two bottles of beer for a customer when I hear Shelah’s voice. “There’s my favorite bartender.”
I twirl around quickly and smile at her. She’s rocking dark green scrubs today. “How are you, pretty lady?”
“Eh, you know. Living the dream.” Shelah sits at a barstool.
I hand the guy his beers, then start to make Shelah her drink. “What kind of shift was it? Do we need a strong drink to start with?”
Her palm smacks the bartop. “Actually, it was a decent day in the ER. Those kinds of days are few and far between, but today was one of them.”
I continue to make her drink strong anyway. When I place the glass down in front of her, she grabs my hand. “You look beautiful, happy, KC.”
