Chapter 15

NOTHING LIKE TAKING a girl who barely needed a bra to a strip joint, with giant, bouncy boobs all over the place. It made Aria feel somewhat inadequate in the chest area. She took her irritation out on Constantine.

“I can’t believe you brought me here.” Seriously, he didn’t seem like the type who went to the nudie bar.

“I know how it looks,” he muttered, his fingers laced through hers as he weaved her between the tables. “But trust me when I say the food here is excellent, the discretion top-notch, and besides, Renny works here, so I get a discount.”

Was the food the only thing he got a discount on?

Shoving the irrational jealousy away, she tried to keep an open mind. After all, Aria knew stripping could provide a decent income.

How do I know that?

Shit, don’t tell me I’m a stripper?

She really wished she could remember what her job entailed before coming to Bitten Point on her supposed road trip. Thinking about her past, though, resulted in a shushing sound, as if her own mind forced her to forget.

“Let’s grab this booth at the back.” Constantine gestured to the U-shaped seating area, which, to his credit, sat farthest from the stage.

Before Aria slid in, she couldn’t help but ask, “I am not going to stick to it, am I?” Nothing worse that getting glued to a foreign piece of furniture by unidentifiable globs. She refused to even entertain the thought of what those globs could be in a strip joint.

“This place is cleaner than most bars, actually. Much like snakes, exotic dancers and their places of work get a bad rap.”

His words definitely put Aria in her place and also reminded her that she wasn’t one to stick her nose in the air. She wasn’t any better than anyone in here. From the bits and pieces she recalled, she’d done things she shouldn’t take pride in. Funny how some of those same things people disapproved of were acts she still remembered with fondness.

“What are you ordering? I’m starved.”

He cocked a brow at her. “I don’t think they serve three chicken wings and seven and a half fries.”

“Ha. Ha. What a funny guy. See if I share any of my leftovers with you now.”

“Ah, come one. You gotta let me have them. You can’t let good food go to waste.” Then the big, dumb idiot batted his lashes and grinned.

He looked so bloody stupid and absolutely gorgeous at the same time. “You’re whacked.”

“Only with you. Most of my friends think I’m kind of dry with the humor.”

“Or they don’t understand it. That happens to me a lot.”

Reaching out, he snagged her hand. “This is going to sound dorky, but I’ll blame it on hunger. I kind of like you”—his lips stretched—“bluebird.”

“I’m wearing pink. And I like you, too.” In what was the most awkward conversation ever. Since when did a guy hold her hand and try to look in her eyes as he claimed affection? Or was there another reason why he was acting so sappy?

“Are you stoned?”

He frowned.
