I teased her for the rest of the journey now I’d taken off some of the edge. Whatever had happened in the coffee shop to get her so hot wasn’t something I was going to complain about, but I was definitely curious.
When we made it to the club, I gently retracted my fingers, and as Oisin climbed out to open the door for her, I made a show of cleaning the digits.
When she stood up, Oisin had to help upright her because she nearly stumbled.
I darted out, gave her my support, and though I didn’t like that Oisin had touched her, I gave him a grateful nod.
“Leave the car here,” I told him. “You can clock out for the day.”
He shrugged. “Okay, Eoghan.”
“I’ll be back on Monday.”
“See you then. Have a great weekend, Mrs. O’Donnelly.”
Inessa shot him a shaky smile. “Thanks, Oisin.”
As I left him to deal with the valet, I helped her over to the door.
“What got you so hot?” I breathed in her ear as I pulled it open.
She bit her lip.
“Nothing.”
I snorted. “Liar.”
Her lips pursed. “One of the girls came back from the restroom and they were talking about you.”
Damn.
Caught out by a college graduate.
Shocking.
“Talking about me?”
She huffed again, grousing, “How hot you were.”
I almost laughed, but I wasn’t a fool.
I’d been spared an argument because of her jealousy.
I liked knowing that she was as crazy for me as I was for her.
And crazy was definitely the word.
Guiding her inside and along the path to the club, we were granted several greetings from members of staff.
Half nightclub, half sex club, we hadn’t shut Elemental down when we snagged it from the Italian mafia.
We’d made the membership rules stricter and had created a separate, private entrance that meant people didn’t have to walk through the nightclub to reach that section like they had before.
As we made our way there, Inessa dislodged her arm from my grasp so she could grab my hand.
With our fingers tangling, we entered that half of the club.
Split into three, each one for a particular type of pervert, we normally headed toward the bar area because, while there were beds, my OCD had too much of a hold on me to take her there.
