Jesse grabbed a beer out of Ace and Gabriel’s fridge and brought it over to the couch. He tipped the bottle back and took a long drink. After yet another late night, all of the guys needed to blow off some steam.

“Where’s Lucas?” Cooper asked, leaning against the wall.

“I invited him, but he already had plans with Elijah,” Gabriel said.

Lucas had come out of his shell when he started dating Elijah, and had stayed out after Elijah left the club. He was a pretty decent guy. They made a nice couple, even if Jesse had been doubtful at first.

Truth be told, Jesse had always thought he and Elijah got along well. He couldn’t count the number of times they’d stood outside smoking and bullshitting. Nothing had happened between them, but sometimes Jesse wondered why not.

Shade sat down next to Jesse. “So, what’s everybody think about the new stuff happening at the club?” he asked, bright-eyed. He took off his bandana and ran his fingers through his brown hair, mussing it effortlessly.

“Can’t hurt anything,” Jesse said. “I’m curious about what Trenton said about how he opened the club, though. He did it on a dare?”

“And did you notice he looked at Austin when he said that?” Gabriel asked.

Shade’s eyes darted between them. “Well, yeah. Trenton had been talking about opening a club for years, and Austin finally told him to shit or get off the pot. You guys didn’t know that?”

Jesse’s face heated when Shade’s gaze landed on him. “No. I didn’t know those two went that far back.”

“Went that far back?” Shade’s laughter pealed. “They’re brothers!”

Now all the guys stared at him. Cooper was the only one nodding. “I never mentioned that, babe?” he said to Owen. “I know they don’t look much alike.”

“That’s an understatement,” Jesse drawled. The club owner and the bouncer had roughly nothing in common. He still should have figured out they were related sooner. He’d been here a while longer than Shade, after all – although he didn’t ask nearly as many questions. “Which one’s older?”

“Trenton’s a few years older,” Shade said. “Seems he used to babysit for Austin.”

“Hell, I can’t even imagine him as a little kid.”

Shade gave Jesse a shrug. “Anyway, the act thing. You guys like it?”

“Could be helpful,” Ace said. “We just have to come up with costumes. But I guess that depends on what we pick for our acts.”

“I know what you two should be,” Jesse said, gesturing to Ace and Gabriel. “Ace, you should be the devil, and Gabriel, you’re an angel.”

They both had that kind of vibe to them. Jesse could picture Ace in some devil horns, shirtless with a forked tail coming down off his waist. And as for Gabriel, some white clothes and a fuzzy halo would be the only costume he’d need.

“I like that idea,” Shade said, glancing over at Jesse.

Jesse looked away as soon as their eyes met. He liked Shade in general.

“What about Owen?” Cooper asked. “I’m thinking he should be something pretty fancy.
