DIXIE

I can't believe I’m doing this.

Eric goes over to talk to Xavier. From my spot in the booth, I watch them.

I must look tense because Hunter puts his hand on mine again. “There’s nothing to be worried about.”

“For you, maybe. I’ve never done anything like this before.”

Xavier doesn’t look thrilled. He says something to Eric, a frown on his face. Eric says something in reply, his expression hard. The two of them seem to be having an argument.

My stomach sinks. I didn’t think this through. “Is he going to fire me?” I ask, my voice small.

Hunter looks incredulous. “For what? Xavier owns a sex club.”

“He doesn’t look happy.”

He glances their way for a second. “He’s unhappy with Eric, not you. He’ll come around. Forget them. What about tomorrow night?”

“Tomorrow?”

“Your fantasy,” he says patiently. “Shall we do it tomorrow night?”

God, that’s moving quickly. I must look uncertain because Hunter gives me a kind smile. “Do you want to wait? Would you prefer to get to know us better first? What can I do to make you comfortable?”

If I wait, I will chicken out. If I get to know them better, I will chicken out again. No, this is a crazy plan, but if I’m going to do it at all, it needs to be right away. “Tomorrow night is fine.”

Xavier finally nods curtly. He turns to the bar, and the bartender immediately materializes in front of him.

Eric heads back to the booth, his stride purposeful. He sees me staring, and his lips curl up in a small smile.

It’s on.
