Iâm getting anxious. Angelicaâs been gone for ages and thereâs still no sign of her. All around me people are mingling and chatting, the air filled with nervous energy and rippling with excitement.
The women look sensational, the barâs vibe is en pointe, and the men are eyeing up the goods in a way which is predatory without being sleazy or disgusting.
But all I want is to see her again.
The emcee takes the stage, but my eyes are scanning the crowd looking for Angelica. Thereâs no sign of her. I hope she hasnât freaked out and bailed. She looked anxious when we arrived. Or maybe there was a problem with her test results.
Shit, I should see if sheâs okay, but neither of us brought our phones tonight knowing weâd just have to hand them in anyway. What if sheâs had a call from someone back home and thereâs some kind of family emergency? I need to find her.
âHello, everyone. Can I have your attention, please?â The voice rings out through the speakers in the room and I stop. Is it too late to slip out? Everyone looks over at the man on the stage.
A well dressed older gentleman with a mic in his hands is ready to address the room. I find myself pausing to listen to what he has to say. I am here to work after all and if Angelica has left, one of us has to stay to complete this assignment. Itâs for one night only so itâs not like thereâll be a second chance.
âWelcome, everyone, to the first Wicked Temptation Key Party. We are glad you all have decided to join us tonight for what we hope will turn into an annual event. Iâm Damien and your MC for the night. A few housekeeping issues to get out of the wayâ¦â
I tune him out, back to scanning the crowd. Thereâs not a single lady in attendance tonight that any guy would be disappointed to be paired up with, and more than a few have caught my eye and sent me cheeky winks or hopeful glances.
Work really shouldnât feel this good, I think as one stunning blonde gives me a coy smile.
ââ¦The rest is all up to you guys. Have fun and be safe!â the emcee finishes.
The tension in the room rocketed as the first guy steps forward to pick his key, and heâs paired with a beautiful blonde.
My name is called third and I take to the stage, pulling out a key with the number sixty-nine on it, which makes me chuckle.
A murmur begins to spread through the crowd when no woman joins me and after a beat, Damian the emcee steps forward to whisper in my ear, whilst covering the microphone.
âYour partnerâs a little shy and weâve arranged for her to be waiting for you in the room. Off you go.â
With little other choice, I head off through the door the first two guys used and go in search of my room.
I walk down the hallway, my heart pounding in my chest.
