Alec unlocked the door to the condo and opened it as AJ pushed past him, not even looking at him. He gritted his teeth at the physical contact but said nothing, just closed the door behind him and tossed his keys on the hall table before following her into the living room.

She kept going, turning through the formal dining room into the kitchen. He heard the refrigerator open and close, then her footsteps as she retraced her path into the living room, a large can of iced tea in her hand. She carefully stepped around him, not touching him, not even looking at him.

"AJ—"

"Good night, Alec." She kept going, heading for the stairs, her foot touching the first one before Alec moved after her, grabbing her arm to stop her from walking away. She turned and finally looked at him, an expression of impatience written clearly on her face. Impatience, and something that looked like disappointment. Alec dropped her arm but didn't move away, just looked down at her, trying to figure out what to say.

The night had not gone even remotely close to how he had expected, not that he had known what to expect. All he wanted was for them to go out and have fun and get over the awkward distance that had developed between them the last couple of days. To get back to the light bantering relationship they had.

Yeah, and taking her to a strip club was the perfect choice. Christ, he still couldn't believe he had done that. He hadn't been thinking, hadn't even realized that it was a strip club at first because he had been so distracted just by having her sitting next to him.

But she had taken it in stride and even surprised him by going in. It didn't matter that she had obviously been there before, and that she knew people there. Although yeah, that had surprised him even more, but not for long.

But even after that shock, he had stupidly thought there was still a chance for them to just kind of hang out and have fun.

Until that asshole Jean-Pierre Larocque—who Alec actually used to like before tonight—had opened his mouth. Irritation had swiftly taken over Alec when he had caught Jean-Pierre blatantly ogling AJ. He had been ready to leave right then and there.

And then the stripper had come over and rubbed against AJ, had actually kissed her and...shit, there was no doubt in Alec's mind that every single one of his teammates had an instant hard-on at the sight. And that infuriated him, knowing exactly what was going through their minds as they stared at AJ. They had absolutely no right to stare at her like that, to think what they were thinking about her.

And he knew exactly what they were thinking, because the same thoughts had raced through his mind. Which was bad enough because—

"Alec! Do you want something or are you just going to stand there giving me dirty looks all night?"

He shook his head and realized he had been staring at AJ, though he didn't think he was giving her dirty looks.
