Chapter Eleven

ELI

How in the world did I ever think this was a good idea? The more time I spend with her, the more I want her and it’s only amplified by the fact that I know she wants me too. I think I’m going to have to start looking for somewhere else to live. I’ll stay until the creep stalking her is caught but after that, I think it’s time I made a move. If she stays—I’m still not convinced she will, but if she does—they’re going to want to play happy homes and I don’t fit in with that.

“You all right?”

I look to the big guy next to me and wonder how he can have such faith in things working out. “Yeah, Mase, I’m fine. Just thinking about this stalker guy. It pisses me right off that we can’t find anything out about him. The flowers were delivered anonymously. The chocolates have to have been hand-delivered as there was no delivery note and neither give us any clues as to who they are from.”

“I feel you. I feel like we’re just waiting for the next gift to arrive, hoping that it leads us back to him. But then I remember her face every time something else turns up and I’m worried how much more she can take.”

He holds the door open as we stroll into Lust, Dante’s very own strip club. Opulently decorated in purple and silver with expensive fabrics and top-shelf drinks being ordered at the bar, it’s a far cry from Midas. I glance at Eden and have to fight back a grin at the look of awe on her face. She has nearly forty million pounds in the bank but still manages to walk into a strip club and look at it like she is visiting the fucking Taj Mahal.

“Welcome to Lust.” Callum leads us to a table right in front of the stage. The room is packed so I’m surprised it’s free until I realise it has a reserved sign on it. I look up at him in question.

“I always keep this one reserved in case Gracie wants to come down or her friends come over for a visit. She’s on her way down to meet your girl so brace yourself.”

“She’s not my girl.”

He looks at me oddly. “Right.”

We all sit and a waitress comes and takes our drink orders. I’m seriously regretting being the designated driver now. After seeing Eden in that dress, I could do with a double whisky.

The show is finishing up and I watch Eden as she stares at the stage, transfixed.

“She looks like she misses it,” I observe to Mason. How or why is beyond me. Taking your clothes off and dancing in front of a room full of people is probably not most people’s dream job but then, Eden never seems to fit into the box I keep trying to stuff her down into.

“She gets some flack off you and Noah. I get that most of it’s in jest, but she can tell that you guys don’t like it so she won’t do it as much.
