The Crow Bar had passed hopping an hour ago. Jace pulled the Dos Equis lever and filled three glasses in a row without spilling a drop, which earned him an extra five from the ladies who’d ordered the beers. He took the bill as well as the not-so-subtle slip of paper with either a phone number or a room number written on it in purple ink. Hard to tell without actually looking at it, and that’s when he realized he didn’t even want to glance at it.

It was automatically nope. Wow.

“Thanks, ladies.” He flashed them a smile, pocketing both the tip and the scrawled message because he wasn’t in the mood to hurt anyone’s feelings.

The numbers burned against his thigh. As soon as the girls turned away, he fingered the white scrap out of his pocket and tossed it. As turning points went, he’d expected a little more fanfare. A feeling like everything had changed—for the better. Instead, all he had was a moment of panic.

He was in way deep with Stella. And she wanted to keep things open. How messed up was that?

He watched Stella serve the long table by the open wall, expertly placing drinks in front of each customer with a friendly smile that never faltered. Once, their gazes met across the room, and she glanced away far too quickly.

She had him as nervous as a cat suspended over a tub of water. Sure, she’d actually spit out the word date without any prompting on his part. But he wouldn’t put it past her to cancel at the last minute. Maybe she’d thought about it overnight and realized she did want marriage and babies, just not with Jace, who was still too young and still sticking numbers in his pocket.

And maybe some—if not all—of his mental flogging was his own conscience wearing a Stella costume. It wasn’t against the law to want something different for the future, but sometimes the past turned it into crime.

When he looked up next, a wall of testosterone nearly bowled him over as half his teammates crowded up against the bar, grinning at him as if they’d just heard the best joke. Fortunately, they had some femininity along for the ride to dress up the place.

Charlie had a possessive arm slung around Audra, a total nonnecessity since there wasn’t a man in the place who would dare glance at a woman who was within a two-foot radius of him when he was in the zone. The former lieutenant commander breathed badass whether he meant to or not.

Miles held hands with his girlfriend, Lale, which was more his understated style. They were together but not in everyone’s face about it, though as a former Miss Turkey on a major pageant circuit, Lale definitely gave Audra a run for her money as one of the most attractive women in the room. After Stella of course. She beat them all by a sexy long shot.

It had been a while since the guys had come by the bar.
