wanted me to take him out and show him a good time. He’s not from around here,” I explained.
    “So you’re not seeing anyone then?” he asked, with a sexy grin.
    I shook my head and smiled on the inside. I could only hope that Fin wanted what I was hoping he wanted.
    Dirty, hot, mind-blowing sex.
    “Are you?” I asked.
    He shook his head and leaned closer, “Wanna dance?”
    I smiled; I knew what Fin was up to. I looked at him, tilting my head to the side and nodded. I sipped the last of my drink and hopped off my stool. Fin took me by the hand and led me to the dance floor, where he pulled my arms up over his shoulders and pulled me close against him as we began grind against each other to the dance song that was pulsating throughout the club.
    I closed my eyes as Finley slid his hands down to my hips and moved against me. I felt his breath on my neck and sighed. I pulled him down closer to me and kept our lips inches away from each other as we moved to the beat of the song. I watched his lips slowly curve into a smile which told me that I still had it when it came to Fin.
    We looked at each other and laughed when the song was over. Nothing about being this close to Finley ever made me feel uncomfortable. He was genuinely a good guy and we had a lot of fun together, but he slipped once and when he admitted to me that he cheated on me with a stripper as his brother’s bachelor party, I immediately broke up with him without hesitation. He spent days, weeks, even months, trying to get me to forgive him. Apology after apology; flowers, jewelry, gifts... anything he could think of. I hadn’t spoken to him ever since.
    Until tonight.
    The next song came on and Fin spun me around and pulled me against him again, moving to the beat as well as his hands down my stomach and holding me close.
    “I missed you,” he whispered into my ear as I reached up and put my arms around his neck again.
    Being this close to Finley was something, I just now realized, I had missed desperately. I closed my eyes and let the beat take us wherever it felt we should be at that moment. I wanted the song to last forever as Finley moved himself against me; memories of us rushing back to me in tidal waves of lust and need.
    But like all good things, the song finished, and we were left standing there sweating and a little shaky.
    “I need a drink,” I yelled into his ear.
    He nodded and took me by the hand back to the bar where we waited for Jake to notice us. I stood there with Fin’s arms wrapped around my shoulders from behind, when a voice leaned in and shouted into my ear.
    “That was quite the show you two put on!”
    I laughed. Simon was standing there with a big grin on his face.
    I reached up and tapped Finley’s arm to get his attention.
    “Fin, this is Simon. Simon this is Fin. Let’s all be friends,” I said as they shook hands.
    “What are you having?” Fin asked, leaning over so Simon could hear him.
    “Screwdriver?” Simon asked glancing down at me. When I nodded Fin waved his arms to get Jake’s attention and put in our orders.
    “Where’s Eliza?” I asked Simon.
    He jerked his head to the end of the bar where she was sitting with her friends. She looked over at me and smiled, which I returned with a big grin.
    “Here you go, babe,” Fin said handing me my drink, before handing the next one to Simon.
    “Babe?” I asked, glancing up at him.
    He grinned down at me and shrugged before grabbing his drink. As he reached for his wallet, Simon was already ahead of him, handing Jake money.
    “It’s on me,” Simon said to him.
    “Thanks man,” Fin said with a nod.
    Simon gave me a wink as he went back to the end of the bar to hang out with Eliza and her friends.
    About two hours later, I had enough screwdrivers in me to open my own hardware store. Finley spent most of the time sitting next to me at the bar, with my back against him so he could hold me up. Liquor was never one of my strong points and if I got in a
