looked more than a little shocked at her quick thumbs-up in regards to the man she’d just met, but Rafe was good. Chase seemed to approve and for some reason Nikki felt she could trust Chase. Still she took a picture of Rafe’s ID with her cell phone just in case, but she really wasn’t worried.
“Have a good time sweetie, we will be fine here,” Nikki told her giving her a wink.
Looking a little shocked, Chloe was tugged away by Rafe who also gave Nikki a wink as he exited with Chloe.
“So it looks like your friend Chloe is settled for the evening. Are you going to make my dreams come true and give me the pleasure of your company for the evening?” Chase said to her leaning into her ear to whisper huskily. Damn men who knew that trick, that hot tickle of air across a woman’s neck turned smart girls to mush.
“I’m not leaving Izzy,” Nikki hissed back.
“So you aren’t saying no. Just that you have friendship obligations?” Chase smiled wickedly.
“Grrr…” was all Nikki could reply.
“Well, I have it on the strictest confidence that your friend Izzy might not be leaving alone tonight,” Chase whispered quietly into her ear.
Nikki looked at him questioningly. What was this, some kind of conspiracy to pick up all the BBW’s tonight? Maybe these firefighters had some kind of bet going. A chubby check-off list or something as equally horrible. That would certainly ruin her evening if that was true. No one messed with her friends, unless of course they wanted to be separated from their manhood in a violent manner.
“What, did you guys set up some kind of bet to ask out the fluffy girls tonight?” Nikki asked angrily.
“What? Are you fucking kidding me?” Chase shot back.
Chapter 3
Clearly Nikki said the wrong thing because he was seriously pissed off. His face had turned red and his eyes were flashing.
“Well what am I supposed to think? I don’t see any other guys jumping off the stage and carrying off the model wannabe’s for a night on the town. And I don’t care about myself, but if your buddies hurt my friends, so help me, I will hunt you down one by one and you will all be singing soprano,” Nikki said trying to sound tough, but inside she had the sinking feeling she just falsely accused the very sexy, very nice man that was, or at least before she opened her big mouth, interested in her.
“I’ll let you off with a warning this time Nikki, first off I don’t make bets when it comes to women. Only a jackass would do something like that. Second I wouldn’t let your friend go off with Rafe if I wasn’t 100% sure he would treat her right. Nor would I give you the head’s up that another one of my brothers has already scoped out your friend Izzy and is practically drooling backstage waiting to talk to her. Third, since you clearly have been hurt in the past and don’t have a lot of trust in men, I will explain myself to you this time.
I came to talk to you because as I have said, those twig bitches as you call them do nothing for me. Apparently, I like smart mouthed, insulting goddesses that will obviously need tons of convincing that she is sexy and worth the attention of any man. So if you don’t mind reeling back the accusations and insults we can continue on with our evening,” Chase finished, leaning back into his chair.
Well now, that was a clear and concise speech. Nikki had to admit she was the most defensive person she knew. Her shields had been built years ago and it was going to take a strong man to knock them down. She wondered if this could be the man. Did things like that happen? Did real lasting relationships spawn out of meeting someone randomly at a bar? Her pessimism would say definitely not, but that little spark of hope inside her was screaming at her to take a chance.
“Alright Sparky, I can see you believe the words that are coming out of your mouth, so I am going to take a chance and drop my shields for a bit. But believe me
