Chapter Two

Arthur

The woman I meet at the bar is gorgeous. Red hair down to her bare shoulders, hips to die for, a smile so alluring that even my drunk self can’t help but know that I’d love to date her.

“So, whatcha drinking?” I ask as I lean back against the bar, my elbows propped up on the counter. My vision is a bit blurry, but I can see her turn towards me, her eyes lighting up at the sound of my voice.

“Gin and tonic, usually,” she says. Her voice hooks me instantly. It’s mature, yet still playful. She’s been around the block. She grins at me. “But not tonight.”

“Why not?” I say, leaning in. I get a good whiff of her perfume. Smells like vanilla. For a moment, my mind wanders, ignoring my inner dragon’s urge to focus entirely on the woman in front of me. A memory of a woman with bright, nearly golden eyes sparks, and I see her standing in front of a door, telling me not to go. She smelled like vanilla too.

Shaking my head, I wink at the woman in front of me. “Nevermind. I know why. You were waiting to meet someone who would give you a fun time tonight, right? You don’t want to drink in case you get taken advantage of.”

The woman raises a brow. “Wow, smart for a guy so drunk, he’s swaying on his stool.”

I grip the bar to steady myself, though my grin only widens. “That guy can be me, you know. I promise I’m not bad. I’ll even give you my address so that when we go back to my place, you can let your friends know where you are exactly. Or we could go back to your place.” I lean in to whisper in her ear, my inner dragon getting worked up just looking at her. “Or, we could go to the bathroom right now...and have some fun in there.”

The woman shivers. “You know, some women might find that creepy. Me?” She leans into my ear. “I’d rather go somewhere more private.”

Her lips brush mine, leaving me at her will instantly. She smiles wickedly. “Your place sounds nice. I don’t want you knowing where I live.”

“Fine by me!”

And then we are walking out the door. She lets me put my arm around her as we wait for an Uber, because I might slump to the ground otherwise. She talks while we wait, making me laugh, her voice carrying me to a gradual soberness. When we get in the car, we hurry off to my apartment.

“I’m Mary, by the way,” she says, kissing my ear. “If this goes well, maybe we can be friends with benefits. You’re pretty hot.”

“Right back at you.”

In no time at all, we’re at my complex. Well, it felt like no time, but it was probably more like a twenty-minute drive. Time is funky when I’m under the influence.

We climb out of the car, tip the driver, and make out as we walk to the elevator, laughing all the way.
