I couldn’t believe I was here, sitting alone at the bar, at an overpriced club. This wasn’t like me.. I usually only went to clubs for work, but I needed this. How could I have been so stupid? I loved Austin, I gave him everything I had. I worked my a** off to pay for my tuition for school, and he took every single penny I earned that was extra. I had taken care of him like he was a child, all while he demanded that I give him an heir to his families fortune. He said that his family wouldn’t give him a dime without him producing a healthy heir. I had always wanted children, and we tried for years. Eventually, we did some testing only to find out that I have a low egg count. I started fertility treatments, and constantly monitored every single thing I did, only to find him in bed with my best friend. To top it all off, they’ve been sleeping together for months, and she’s pregnant.. I sighed, taking another drink of the whiskey in front of me. My body felt hot, my mind muddled, and all I could think of was hurting him. I wanted to hurt him the way that he hurt me. I scanned the room, looking for anyone that I thought had a chance of taking home tonight.
Finally, my eyes locked onto the most handsome man I’d ever seen. His pale blue eyes glowed under the black light in the club, and his black hair was messy on top, and shaved on the sides. He had a thick, but well trimmed beard, and he wore a white, long sleeve, button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up, and half of his shirt unbuttoned. He stood right off the side of the dance floor watching the men and women grinding against one another. If I could show him a great time, maybe he could help me too. I smiled, standing up straight and pulling up every bit of confidence I had in me. I walked over to him, sliding my hand across the back of his neck.
“Wanna dance?” I asked, smirking up at him.
He looked over at me, his eyes scanning me from head to toe. “I don’t dance honey, maybe try someone with more coordination.” He chuckled.
I slid in beside him, rolling my eyes. “Well, I wanted you.. but apparently you’re not interested, so.. who do you think I should try?” I asked, scanning the crowd with him.
He chuckled. “This is a strange way to pick someone up you know?”
“Well if you aren’t interested in going home with me, I might as well get your insight.” I shrugged. “Going home with you? I thought you just wanted to dance?” He smirked, turning more towards me.
“I just needed an excuse to come talk to you, you look like you know how to have a good time, that’s all.” I said, my eyes still scanning over the crowd.
“You don’t usually do this sort of thing do you?” He asked, grabbing my chin and pulling me to face him.
I shook my head. “No, but I need to feel something, and I’m going to do something stupid, and reckless. So how stupid or reckless are you feeling tonight?” I asked, smirking back up at him.
“More now than ever.” He chuckled. “I have a penthouse room upstairs, you sure you want to do this?” He asked, pointing towards the elevator.
I grabbed his hand, pulling him through the crowd, reaching the elevator and pushing the button. “I’ve never been more sure!”
I looked over, watching the man in beside me, his eyes scanning up and down over me.
