but he
patted her on the butt and nudged her toward the dressing
rooms.
“You go get dressed. I’m going to find Kelly
and let him know we’re leaving. Would you be overly upset if he
caught a ride back to the hotel with us?”
“Of course not,” she said, but her heart gave
an unpleasant pang. This was it. The thing that made him too good
to be true. Kellen was her biggest competition for Owen’s
affection, and Owen didn’t even realize it. “Should I wait for you
outside?” she asked.
“Just wait here. I wouldn’t want someone to
pick you up off the street.”
As if.
“Just so you know, I only have sex in sex
clubs, so once we leave here, I won’t want to have sex with you
again tonight. I didn’t want you to think it was anything personal
if it came up.”
Caitlyn blinked at him, her heart twanging
with a strange ache. So she was good enough to screw in a sex club,
but not after a sandwich? Of course she’d think that was personal.
Fine. Even if he didn’t want to screw her again, it didn’t matter.
She wasn’t only interested in him for one thing. At least he’d been
honest with her. It was something her husband had never been.
“I understand,” she said. “I still want to
spend time with you.” Did that make her a desperate loser?
He smiled awfully bright for a man who didn’t
want to have sex with her. “You just made the honor roll,
babe.”
She had no idea what he meant by that, but
apparently she’d said something right.
Chapter Five
Owen found Kelly sitting with a woman in a
booth near the back of the club. So he might not want a ride back
after all. Maybe he’d found someone to get busy with. Or maybe he
was hoping that Owen would rescue him. It was difficult to read
Kelly’s face.
Owen paused near the corner of the table and
caught a snippet of Kelly and the woman’s conversation before
either of them noticed him.
“Come on, baby,” the woman purred, “you’re
hard as a rock. Let’s go find a room and—”
“Of course I’m hard as a rock,” Kelly said
testily. “You keep shoving your hand down my pants.”
Okay, it was rescue that Kelly needed.
Owen cleared his throat and grinned at his
friend who, yeah, looked relieved to see him.
“Are you finally finished?” Kelly asked.
“Not really.”
“Then what—”
“I’m taking Caitlyn out. She doesn’t belong
here. Or maybe I don’t feel right with her here.”
He wasn’t sure what he meant exactly. There
was just something about her that deserved better than this. Better
than him. And for fuck’s sake, she didn’t seem to see it at all. He
wanted to show her, but not here. Here was seedy, and being
in this place made him want to take a shower. He’d never felt that
way about one of Tony’s clubs, but perhaps the entrepreneurial
genius had just missed the mark with this one. Or maybe something
in Owen’s mindset had shifted and he was ready for more than a
string of one-night stands. He honestly didn’t know. But he meant
to find out. Her reaction to his claim that he wouldn’t want to
have sex outside of the club had given him hope. He wasn’t sure
exactly what he was hoping for. More . But more what?
Kelly’s eyes widened. “Wait! You’re taking
her home with you?”
It went against their rules and promises to
each other, but Caitlyn was special. Kelly would recognize that
soon enough.
“I don’t know if it’ll go that far, but
maybe. We’re going to grab a bite to eat and see if it goes
anywhere from there. Are you ready to go?”
Kelly tugged his companion’s hand out of his
pants again. “I’m ready.”
“Can I come with you?” the woman asked.
“No,” Kelly said and slipped out of the
booth.
Owen couldn’t help but notice that Kelly was
indeed hard as a rock. He had no explanation as to why he was
rapidly getting that way himself. He’d assumed that after that
fantastic pair of orgasms, his lust would be sated for a while.
“You should at least let that chick blow
