CHAPTER 38

DIANA

The pulsing bass of the music reverberated through the air as Hudson led me through the throng of people outside the nightclub. My hand was firmly clasped in his, our fingers entwined as we made our way to the entrance.

“The line is back there,” I said.

He snorted. “I don’t wait in line.”

His arrogance took me by surprise. “Hudson,” I chided. “We can’t take cuts.”

He ignored me. He dragged me up to the front of the line with the young men and women staring at us. Surprisingly, they didn’t look pissed. They looked envious. All of them were dressed to the nines. They had been waiting for their moment to shine, and Hudson just waltzed in like he owned the place. Maybe he did. The bouncer at the door gave Hudson a nod of recognition, a knowing smile on his face. I shot Hudson a puzzled look, but he just squeezed my hand tighter and flashed a charming smile at the bouncer.

We stepped inside the club, and that was when I saw why Hudson was so confident. The VIP section was roped off, but we didn’t even break our stride as Hudson led me past the security without a second glance. As we ascended the staircase to the exclusive area, I couldn’t help but feel a rush of excitement mixed with a tinge of apprehension. This was a world I had only seen in movies, and now here I was, hand in hand with a man who seemed to belong in it effortlessly. The VIP section was a stark contrast to the crowded dance floor below. Plush couches lined the walls, bathed in a soft golden light that made everything seem dreamlike. The music up here was just a murmur, a backdrop to the low hum of conversation and laughter.

Hudson guided me to a secluded corner where a small table awaited us, already stocked with an array of drinks. He pulled out a chair for me with a flourish, gesturing for me to sit. I sank into the luxurious seat, my head spinning with a heady mix of excitement and disbelief. Hudson settled into the chair across from me, his gaze never leaving mine.

“Surprised?” he asked, a smirk playing on his lips.

I couldn’t help but chuckle, shaking my head in amazement. “You could say that. How did you manage all of this?”

Hudson leaned back in his chair, his confidence unwavering. “Let’s just say I have some connections in high places.”

I couldn’t help but feel a pang of discomfort at the special treatment, the way we were waved through as if we were VIPs. I wasn’t used to this kind of attention, this sense of entitlement that seemed to follow Hudson wherever he went. But he seemed unfazed by it all, laughing as a woman wearing next to nothing stepped into the VIP area.

“Bottle service?” she asked Hudson.

“You know it,” he said with a wink. He turned to me with a huge grin. “You’re going to love this.” He turned back to the woman wearing booty shorts, a tiny little top, and heels that hurt my feet.
