But I cocked an eyebrow. “Why the hell would they do

that?”

Was this Rika’s way of keeping an eye on Winter?

Installing herself in her life again?

Winter’s chin lifted a hair and she set her jaw. “Because

I’m good,” she stated.

“Well, this should be entertaining,” Arion mumbled with a

smirk.

I didn’t know if I agreed. Winter would dance. For me. I

didn’t like they’d gone behind my back to arrange this with

her.

“Oh, Winter, this is Alex, by the way,” Will said and then

eyed me. “My new best friend.”

My lips twitched with a smile. Touché.

Alex reached out with both hands, taking Winter’s and

shaking it. “Hi, nice to meet you.”

“You, too.”

“Alex goes to school with Rika in the city,” Will explained

to Winter.

She nodded, and I chuckled to myself. Yeah, Will, that was

how we knew her. Sure.

I lifted my drink to my mouth. “Is Alex for hire tonight?” I

asked, gazing down her body, the caramel-colored gown

perfectly accenting her deep brown hair.

Will turned his glare on me. “Fuck you.”

“I’m completely serious,” I maintained, turning to my

wife. “Do you like her?”

I mean, she was all ready to bring another woman into our

bed—or my bed—days ago, right? And this was Alex’s job.

As an escort, she should appreciate the business.

Arion remained quiet, her eyes falling and looking

uncomfortable. “Damon, it’s not the place.”
