If you’re referring to Crown and Veil, the answer is not a chance. I’m into chicks… Though, a friend of mine dragged me along one night and that was an experience

Red Robin

Aww, it’s cute you’re supportive of your friends

Denver

I can’t say I’ll be going back anytime soon

I smile. Hey, I’m all for the gay community, but getting hit on by men is something I should’ve considered before I took on the challenge of being my buddies’ wing man. It happens.

Red Robin

I wasn’t sure if you’re on night shift, you mentioned you sometimes stay at the firehouse

Denver

Not this week. I have Saturday off

I haven’t been clubbing in… well, forever. I’m too old for that shit. Then again, I’m only thirty-fucking-five, not an old man.

Denver

Which club?

Red Robin

I’ve forgotten the name, but there’s no dungeons or spanking rooms, I promise

My lips twitch at the idea, then I have the vision of Adi folded over my sex chair, her hands and ankles cuffed. Heat stirs within me. Holy fuck.

No.

The answer is no.

Clubs means dancing, and if I see Adi dancing I might just lose my shit…

Red Robin

You still there, hot shot?

I palm the back of my head, unsure how to answer. But I just go with the truth.

Denver

It’s been a while since I went to a club, not my usual scene

But I don’t exactly want to see you making eyes at other men…

A possessiveness inside me rises, even though I know it’s wrong.

Red Robin

Ah, you’re afraid I’ll out-dance you?

I smirk at her comment.
