Cool air blew up Daisyâs dress, making her shiver as Solomon opened the door and stepped outside. She could see Nobby's feet, as the gangster followed them along the cobbled back alley. Solomon set the pace, and Nobby hustled to make up the distance to walk beside him.
They must have come out of a store room into a back alleyway. The overriding scent of rotting vegetables and urine hung in the air. This had to be the local lavatory, for the men leaving the club down the block.
With her hair covering her face, the only thing she got a view of was Solomon's rear end. Not that she looked, and she certainly had no plans to touch, to see if it was as firm as it appeared. Maybe a little feel wouldn't hurt. She squeezed his left butt cheek.
Solomon's arm tightened around her legs, and he wiggled in an attempt to dislodge her hand. She fought a giggle. He had to be working out a lot. You could bounce coins off his rear end. Nobby might have been onto something, when she said Solomon had a bum once seen never forgotten. Daisy was amazed it had survived so well. Miraculously, he didn't have a limp. Only a small scar, where her bullet had accidentally drilled a new hole in his backside. He seemed to have finally forgiven her, and she had no plans to remind him about it.
Solomon turned a corner, with Nobby trotting along beside him. Daisy held her breath, as her stomach growled in protest at having been sorely mistreated all night. She'd been joking about feeling sick, but with all the jostling and hanging upside down, she was starting to think throwing up was a very real possibility. What she needed was something to soak up the wine. Curry, a kebab, or some chips and gravy would hit the spot.
Footsteps approached, and a rumbling male voice asked. âYou need a hand?â
Daisy flapped her arms around Solomon, in an attempt to reach the bottom of her dress, and tug it down over her dangerously exposed backside.
Solomon kept moving. âYou know how it is when your lady can't hold her drink. She was to meet me at the end of my shift at the restaurant, so we could go clubbing, but it looks like we'll be off to bed instead.â
âThe three of you?â The man sounded amused.
Solomon laughed. âI'm not one for sharing. Tony's a mate. Heâs going to help me put her in the car.â
âNice legs. Great arse. If I was you, I'd be taking her home to bed and licking her all over instead of clubbing, any night of the week.â
âWell you're not me. Now, if you'll excuse usâ¦â
âWhat if I refuse?â
A warm hand slipped up her thigh. Daisyâs stomach roiled, and she squealed and kicked back. Her foot made contact with a soft body. Someone groaned, and then she heard the thump of what she assumed was someone hitting the ground.
Another set of footsteps ran toward them.
