looked Karen up and down. He smiled.
    “Sure. You two will do alright.”
    “Thanks.” Shawna grabbed Karen’s hand and pulled her in to the protests of the people in line.
    “Hey!”
    “That isn’t fair.”
    “Why’d you let them in?”
    “Because they’re hot, and you’re not,” Ben replied calmly.
    There were several outraged yells. Shawna laughed and stepped inside the club with Karen.
    Karen felt ill at ease. Here she was, trying to be sexy when she was a chubby, slightly overweight girl with very big tits and a pert, round ass. She wore a little black strapless dress that showed off those tits to good effect. The dress was threatening to fall off. She didn’t do strapless very well, unlike Shawna, who was nice and slim – with sloping breasts that could fit into any dress and look dynamite.
    The club was filled with dancing people. Other people milled around, especially at the long bar which was lighted in blue.
    “Come on. Let’s go to the bar,” Shawna said.
    There were plenty of men at the bar. Some of them were with women. Others were alone.
    “I’m going to get laid tonight,” Shawna avowed. “This pussy ain’t been stabbed since the Fourth of July, and it’s sealing itself shut.”
    Karen didn’t dare mention that her own pussy hadn’t been stabbed since . . . well, a far longer time than the Fourth of July. Shawna was her apartment mate, and she got a lot more action than Karen. Karen remembered all those nights she had spent listening to Shawna’s moans and cries from the next room, as well as the creaking of bedsprings and the banging of the headboard against the wall.
    A tall, blond man at the end of the bar caught Karen’s eye. Three attractive women surrounded him. He was very tall, practically a giant compared to short Karen. She thought that he was very handsome. He had bright blue eyes, and his strong jaw was covered with a short blond beard.
    She thought that he looked like Thor, the god of thunder.
    She must have been staring, because he looked up. His eyes met hers across the room.
    A shudder went through her.
    It was kismet.
    “Oh, look,” Shawna said, her eyes lighting on Thor. “Competition. But I bet I can wrest him away from those three.”
    Karen’s spirits fell.
    Oh, come on. As if you had the slightest chance with that Norse god anyway.
    “Sure,” she said.
    She watched enviously as Shawna walked up to the blond god. The three women gave Shawna murderous glances. Shawna started to chat animatedly with the blond man. Then Shawna pointed at Karen.
    Karen panicked. What was Shawna doing?
    The blond man glanced at Karen. Their eyes met across the crowded room again, and Karen felt her pulse skip.
    The conversation went on for a while, and the three girls looked angrier as each second trickled by. Finally, Shawna detached herself from the little gathering. To Karen’s surprise, the blond man followed her.
    Wow. What magic did Shawna possess?
    Shawna weaved her way through the crowd, the blond man in tow. She went up to Karen.
    “Guess who I brought?” she said gaily.
    Karen could only stare at the handsome, blond, hulking man as he gazed down upon her.
    “This is Zach,” Shawna said.
    “Hi, Zach,” Karen squeaked.
    “Hi. You’re Karen, right?” His voice was deep and commanding. It sent a shiver down Karen’s spine.
    “Yes.”
    “So let’s get on with it,” he said to Shawna, although his vivid blue eyes were still on Karen.
    Shawna smiled at Karen. “Let’s go.”
    Let’s go? Uh, but we just got here, Karen wanted to say. However, in the presence of the phenomenally imposing Zach, she was tongue-tied.
    “Should we go to your place or mine?” Zach said.
    Karen found her voice. “B-but we just got here.”
    “And now we’re leaving. Objective secured,” Shawna said firmly. “We’ll go to our place.”
    “Wait,” Karen said, looking from Zach to Shawna. “If you’re leaving with him, I don’t have to go, too.”
    The last thing she wanted
