Between his incongruous clothes, tousled black curls, and sleepy blinks, the guy looked like he’d left his suit jacket, shirt, and tie on someone’s bedroom floor and sauntered into the bar for a drink.

That man could throw his clothes onDéchiréeDree’s floor anytime.

She was so drunk. This was not like her, but tonight, anything seemed possible.Everythingseemed possible.

She wanted to touch him. The tequila shots she’d sucked down made her body feel languorous and heavy, and she wanted a tall, strong, sexy man to touch her, drive her backward with the warmth of his male body, and move above her and inside her with slow, sinuous thrusts, his faint masculine musk surrounding her and driving her out of her mind.

The deliberate way that man lifted his drink to his mouth—when he touched the highball glass to his full, lower lip before he tilted it, the liquid flowed in, and he swallowed—made Dree think he would be incredible in bed, that he’d take his time, that he’d know what he was doing to her.

The inside of her mouth watered like she wanted to lick him.

And he was still staring back at her, his dark eyes serious and almost wary.

He took the glass away from his mouth like he was stripping off his shirt for her to see his naked flesh.

Dree was leaning so far toward him that she nearly fell off her chair.

A new guy inserted himself into her view, jamming himself into the narrow space between Dree and the petite, judgey woman sitting next to her.

Dree looked up.

The new guy’s red silk shirt was unbuttoned to his waist, exposing a thatch of black chest hair.“Bonsoir.”

“Uh, yeah. Hi,” Dree said.

“You called for volunteers?” the guy asked with a strong French accent.

“Uh, about that,” Dree said, leaning back in her seat in retreat and gripping an empty shot glass.

She should not have stood on her bar chair and announced that. The napkin said to do something that she might regret later, but she regretted yelling thatrightnow.

Another guy moved up to stand beside the first. “I heard you say you were going to fuck every guy in the bar.”

She examined the shot glass in front of her instead of meeting his eyes. “I sure did say that.”

“So, you didn’t mean it when you announced that you wanted to fuck every guy in the bar?”

“Maybe announcing it was a bad decision,” she admitted.

Two more guys crowded around her chair.“‘Allo,my sweet. Is this party full, or am I just in time?”

Another guy with a New York accent said, “I’m not taking sloppy seconds. I want to fuck her mouth, and I want to go first.”

“Whoa,” Dree said, leaning back, her feet scrambling for the foot-rest bar to shove herself backward in her chair. “Slow down, dudes.”

More men stepped up, forming a knot around where she sat, boxing her in.

A gravelly voice asked, “Is this where I redeem my one-free-fuck coupon?”

Another said, “She’s fatter than she looked.”

“Hey!” Dree said, getting pissed.

Another man reached for her as he said, “I want to fuck her tits. I get off on tits. You want to beun chou à la crème?”

He was asking if she wanted to be a cream pie.

She slapped his encroaching hand.“Ew!”
