“We won!” Sophie throws her hands in the air and does a sexy little victory dance.

“Only because Dallas is a shark.” Walker throws an arm around Sophie’s neck, pulls her into his side, and musses her hair.

“Ew, get your sweaty pit away from my face.” She makes a face and pushes him, and instead of him moving, she starts falling backward.

I start to reach out for her, but Dallas comes in behind her and catches her before she ends up on her ass.

Sophie starts laughing.

“I think maybe the iced tea vodka was a bad idea for you, lightweight,” Dallas muses.

By my calculation, she has had four shots of tequila and three jars of whatever the hell she was drinking.

“Bathroom,” she says to no one in particular and picks up her purse and heads toward the restrooms.

“Brax?” Morgan draws my attention from following Sophie’s unsteady trek.

“Yeah?”

“Can you give me a ride home?”

“Your Jeep is outside.”

“I’ve had too much to drink. Doug said I could leave it here tonight. One of the new guys working the bar offered to take me home, but I don’t know him, and I don’t think I want to get in a car alone with him.”

I look back toward the hall Sophie disappeared down and then back at Dallas, who is shakily aiming a cue stick at the yellow solid instead of the cue ball.

“Dallas, who’s driving you guys home?”

“Myer,” she answers as she closes one eye and sticks her tongue out, trying to focus on her shot.

“I got them,” Myer confirms.

I turn back to Morgan. “Sure, I can take you. Just let me know when you’re ready.”

“I’m going to pay my tab, and I’m ready if you are.”

I look back at the hallway. “Okay. I’m going to the restroom. I’ll meet you up front.”

Just as I make it to the ladies’ room and start to knock, it flies open, and Sophie stumbles out and right into my chest.

“Excuse me,” she says as she rights herself.

Then, she looks up to see it’s me.

“Oh, it’s you.” She moves to put her back against the wall of the hall.

I lean in, and I’m surrounded by the scent of jasmine. Her big blue eyes are glittering, and she is flushed from the alcohol.

“You okay?”

“I’m fabulous.” She smiles huge, and my eyes are immediately drawn to her mouth.

A woman comes racing into the hallway with her hand over her mouth and two other women on her heels. I place my hands on either side of the wall above Sophie and move in close to shield her from being trampled.

I look down, and her eyes are squeezed shut. She opens one and looks up. I have her fenced in.

“Mrs. Janelle thinks you’re gay,” she blurts out.

I chuckle. “Does she now?”

“Well, she isn’t sure, but she thinks it’s a possibility. She just said no one ever sees you with a woman, so they wonder.”

“They?”

“She wasn’t very specific about who they are. Probably just a bunch of jealous girls you have shot down.”

“What about you? Do you wonder?”

“Nope,” she whispers as she barely shakes her head.
