Pandora shook her head in amusement and checked herself one last time before walking out. All the way down the lobby, men turned their heads and ogled her.[]
It didn’t take her long to find the club Milton had recommended to her. She entered the club and looked around, hoping she would see him. When she didn’t see him, she headed to the bar and ordered again.]
After a few minutes, a guy approached her and smiled. “Would you like to dance?” he said.]
“Sorry, I’m not up for that.” The guy left, leaving her to her alcohol. Still, she was not drunk enough to bust out moves. “I need a shot,” she told the bartender.]
“Out for a good time?” the bartender asked.[]
“I think so…“]
The bartender cocked his head and recommended a drink. “Ask for Royce if you want a drink. I’ll take care of you“]
“Thank you, Royce. Keep the drinks coming,” she said, tapping the bar.]
As Royce placed down Pandora’s drink, she felt someone come up behind her.
“Royce, can I have some Jack?” the guy said and Pandora found herself chuckling, she didn’t know why.
“Something funny?” the husky voice said into her ear. She could smell a hint of whiskey on his breath.]
“I’ll have a Jack too,” she told the bartender and pushed her shot away.[]
“Thought you were doing shots? You’re cheating if you go down to Jack.“]
Pandora shrugged. “My friend here reminded me that I can change my mind.” She said, placing her hand on the man’s arm.[]
“Oh, am I your friend now?” the guy said. “I am not sure I like that. We don’t even know each other’s name.
“Dora,” Pandora said, not giving her full name.]
The guy cocked her head. “Fake names, is it? Call me Nemo then, because I sure as hell am glad to be found by you“]]
The joke did so well with Pandora that she threw her head back in laughter. She calmed down and looked at the guy. Her breath caught in her throat and she hissed under her breath. “Fuck me,” she blurted out as she got lost in his piercing grey eyes []
“Do I hear an offer?” he asked, his eyes dancing over her body.]
“Maybe?” She couldn’t see how nicely he was built because of how covered he was.]
“On what?” he asked deviously as he leaned in.[]
“On what you look like under that leather jacket,” she answered.]
He frowned and looked down. “I suppose I won’t be sad to see it go.” He slid it off, revealing an arm full of ink. It was so hot that she eyed the paintings hungrily.
Tuck me,‘ she thought.
“I am planning on it,” he replied to her thoughts. Pandora had always had a thing for ink but Derrik never got anything and forbade her from the same. “What do you say? Like what you see under the jacket?]
I just wanted to know if you are in good shape, but now I am fascinated.”
The mystery man turned to the bar and yelled, “Royce! A bottle of Jack!” Finally, his eyes found hers. “Join me?” he asked and Pandora nodded numbly.
“See you, Royce,” she said without looking at the bartender. She took the man’s hand and followed him without another word.[]
Pandora had already looked at his left hand to make sure there was no white line or a ring on there.[]
As they spoke, she realized that they were from two opposite parts of the country. She felt her heart drop a little, knowing that this man was really a stranger and she would never see him again.[]
He seemed to sense it. “Don’t be sad, Dora. We have tonight.“[]
Pandora chuckled before nodding.[]
His handsome face was utterly captivating, especially with the way his strong chest rose and fell beneath his shirt as he spoke, exuding masculine charm.
“Dance with me,” he urged as he removed his lips from her. Without waiting for an answer, he wrapped an arm around her waist and led her to the dance floor.[]
“Please take me,” she said yet again. Pandora had never felt this way before. This man could use his fingers. She had to say, they were doing God’s work at this point.[]
Pandora nodded dumbly. “I want to taste you, too,” she told him, spurring him up.
