last
saw.”
    “I think that’s sad.”
    “Me too. That’s why I refuse
to kick him out for good. I just made him go home.”
    She nods like she understands
and turns her attention back to Charles, who happens to be checking her out at
that exact moment. His blank expression hides what I’m guessing is a flurry
thoughts regarding Tanisha. I’ve long since suspected he’s into her, but he’s
never made a move. She’s not subtle about her feelings for him, so I can’t
quite figure out why he hasn’t made a move. Several times I’ve come close to
quizzing him on the subject but backed down for some reason or another.
     I pat her arm in a show
of support and stand to make rounds again. I try to make several rounds
throughout the entire club each evening that I work. It’s not necessary, my
staff is professional and competent. I just like to spend time getting to know
the clientele and on occasion getting a little sexual enjoyment out of the
place. There really isn’t a lot for me to do so I share polite conversation
with a few guests and mosey back to my office to finish some paperwork. At the
end of the night, I return home alone and spend the evening wishing I could
have Finn and this life I love, too. I’ll have to give up one for the other,
and I’m not willing to do that right now.
    Luckily, I noticed that he
stopped calling me, so that sort of helps. Of course it also gets my brain
working overtime as I wonder who he’s with tonight. I’m half horny and half
jealous thinking about it. I know he’s not alone. Not a guy like him. His sex drive
is too high to go too long without any companionship.

Chapter
Seven: Finn
     
    Almost a month has gone by since
I was with Darcy, and I’m half crazy over it. I’ve checked the local listings,
and she hasn’t had any shows where I could stalk her. I even drove by her place
several times, only to see the lights out in her apartment and her car gone.
It’s like she disappeared into thin air. I should have known pushing her
wouldn’t work. She was adamant from the beginning that she wanted us to be
casual, and I had to freak her out with my possessive shit. I should’ve learned
with Nadia, the ex-fiancé who cheated on me, that if someone doesn’t want to be
yours they won’t be. Darcy’s so different than anyone I’ve ever met. She’s laid
back, funny, creative, beautiful, passionate and giving. Most of the women I’ve
been exposed to are plastic. They are more concerned about what designer they
are wearing or if their makeup is right than they are about truly enjoying life
and giving of their time and money to causes they believe in. Most women I’ve
encountered in the last five years are just looking to be my arm candy. I want
a partner, an equal. Someone whose as smart as she is beautiful. Who’d rather
give than receive and someone who can stand on their own two feet when I’m not
around. Darcy is all those things and more so I couldn’t help myself. My inner
caveman came out ready to claim and mark her as mine. It’s almost as if I lost
control of myself completely when I was with her. I didn’t want to lose her,
especially to some punk I didn’t see coming. Instead, I ruined it myself.
    Tonight, my friend and
teammate, Bobby, swears I will quit moping around and get laid. I have doubts
about that since I haven’t been able to look at another woman since I met
Darcy. He doesn’t get it though. He’s the perpetual playboy, forever looking
for a goodtime with no strings attached. Apparently, a friend trying to keep
him out of trouble and the media spot light recommend he join this super-secret
sex club. He visited once before but now that he’s a member he has gotten me a three-day
guest pass. I had to go through a freaking background check, blood work, STD
testing, and sign a nondisclosure agreement with my lawyer present. One thing I
can say for the place though, is they are discreet and clean. But seriously,
it’s not like I’m going to
