up?”
“Sounds good,” Lucy said.
“Okay, meet you in the lobby in five.”
When they got there, Grace was dressed in an elegant blue dress and looking gorgeous as usual. Melina had on a black cocktail dress that she rocked despite the fact she’d recently had twin babies. When Melina saw Lucy, she whistled. “With you around, Lucy, it’s amazing I ever got married.”
“Why do you say that?” Lucy asked her.
Grace grinned. “Because you’re so damn beautiful.”
“So are you and Melina, Grace.”
“Well, you have this sexuality that just oozes out your pores. I swear when we’d go out men would barely notice me because they couldn’t take their eyes off you.”
“Totally,” Melina agreed.
Lucy rolled her eyes as they got into the back of the limo that was waiting for them. “Right,” she said with a chuckle. “Well, maybe that’s because when it came to the three of us, it was easy for men to spot the easy lay.”
Grace gasped. “Have you lost your mind?”
Melina frowned. “What’s that about?”
“Nothing.”
“Don’t ‘nothing’ us, Lucy. Out with it.”
“There’s nothing…” As Melina and Grace continued to glare at her, Lucy gave in. “Jamie’s upset with me.” Granted, that’s what she’d wanted—to drive a wedge between them. But now that that had happened, it was almost more than she could bear.
Lucy told Melina and Grace what had happened the night before. About getting up and stripping on stage in front of the entire nightclub. About Jamie, hauling ass and storming the stage to grab her and take her away. “He lost it when he saw me up there.”
“Of course he lost it,” Melina said. “You were stripping . In public! God, you were about to show your breasts and hoo-hoo to his friends ! He was probably so jealous he couldn’t stand it.”
“Why would he be jealous? There’s nothing between us.” Right. Say it enough times and maybe you’ll believe it, Lucy.
“Nothing but explosive chemistry and unresolved feelings,” Grace snorted, calling Lucy on her bullshit.
Not about to give in, Lucy shook her head. “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I broke up with him. He let me. He knows just as well as I do that I wouldn’t fit into his world.”
“His world? You’re barking up the wrong tree, Lucy. You make it sound like he lives on another planet.”
“He might as well. He has a private jet, for God’s sake.”
“Correction,” Melina said. “His family’s company has a jet, one he very nicely used to take you to see your sister. And I’m not sure what him being rich and reacting to seeing you strip have in common.”
Memories of Mason filled her mind. She’d loved her high school boyfriend, only she’d proven to be something he didn’t want in his life. Something that embarrassed him. Lucy shrugged. “Let’s forget Mister Billionaire Former Professor, shall we, and talk about Rhys and Max’s big night. I’m excited to see what they have up their sleeves.”
Lucy didn’t miss the look Melina and Grace shared, but thankfully they went along with Lucy changing the subject.
The new theater was only a ten-minute drive from Lucy’s hotel. Several splashy signs outside advertised the grand opening. Grace told Lucy that this first show had already been sold out for over a month.
The Dalton Magic Show had changed its focus, and rumors were buzzing that the new act would be something fantastic. Entertaining. Sexy. The guest list tonight was limited to the media, who’s-who in entertainment, a few Las Vegas dignitaries, and close friends of Rhys and Max Dalton, the sexy identical twins whose magic show was about to blow the lid off all magic shows.
Lucy had watched both her best friends fall one after the other for a Dalton brother—first Melina and Rhys found love and marriage and babies together, then Grace and Max did the same. Well, not the marriage and babies part—at least, not yet.
Too bad the Dalton twins
