I used to be dancing with Nina, then slow-dancing in Frank’s arms.

He pulled me towards him. “You’re as beautiful as ever,” he whispered towards my temple.”

I rolled my eyes.

“How’s your intercourse life, these days?”

I chuckled. Non-existent was the reply. My thoughts instantly went to a devilishly good-looking Alex watching me over the desk.

I hadn’t had any sexual want—till the previous few days when a cocky however loopy handsome asshole bought me all riled up.

“I’ve discovered a few intercourse golf equipment proper right here in Valletta. How about we test the native scene out collectively?” Frank went on with out even ready for a solution.

Not that I’d inform him my intercourse life sucked. Perhaps going with him to a intercourse membership could be the push out of my funk. Though I couldn’t think about having a stranger contact me.

“Would you do a scene with me?” I requested Frank.

He leaned again, narrowed his eyes, and examined my face. He knew and I knew that he was not what I wanted on this regard. However possibly proper now, he was precisely what I wanted. Frank was protected, a buddy, not a risk.

“You certain?”

I nodded.

“Then, okay. Let’s join and arrange a date within the subsequent couple of days,” Frank mentioned.

I smiled at him, then touched his cheek. “You’re buddy.”

He waggled his eyebrows. “A superb buddy who desperately must get laid. Fabio,” he shouted.

I laughed, then appeared round. Nina was dancing with the hunk she had been flirting with earlier than, and so they stopped proper subsequent to us.

“I must get laid,” Frank mentioned in his most whiney voice.

Nina chuckled.

I didn’t know why precisely Frank referred to as her Fabio, however it was their codeword.

Frank and Nina had at all times been mutual wingmen, although I’d by no means truly seen Nina transcend flirting with anybody.

However she at all times had Frank’s again. How that dynamic labored, I had no thought, however I watched them wave at me and go away.

Frank wasn’t solely protected to play with. He was protected as a result of I had zero emotions—past friendship—for him, and he felt the identical for me.

The opposite man, the one Nina had simply deserted, grabbed my hips and pulled me towards him. “So, stunning? I’m Ali, and your identify is?”

I froze. Then pressured myself to loosen up.

I wanted to recover from it.

Ali had a robust accent…and mesmerizing darkish eyes. Not in contrast to Alex’s eyes—the one man who additionally hadn’t cared to ask earlier than touching me.

The one man whose darkish, stormy eyes met mine from throughout the makeshift dance-floor.

After which all of a sudden, the floodlights went on, males in black fits flooded the realm, and the music stopped.
