Turning to the bartender, she said, “Can I get another shot please?”

“Sure thing, pretty lady.” He poured the vodka and slid the small glass toward her.

After drawing a deep breath, she downed the liquor for courage. “Happy birthday to me,” she muttered under her breath.

“You know our drill. You text me tonight no matter what.”

Scarlett nodded. She and Leigh had been working together for three years, four if you counted the fact that they’d both interned at the district attorney’s office the summer before graduation from law school. They’d had plenty of nights out and safety checks in place.

“On it,” Scarlett promised.

Then she turned back to the man who mattered to find him in deep conversation with someone who looked like one of the bodyguards around the establishment.

Taking the gesture as an invitation, she whispered to Leigh, “Wish me luck,” and started across the club floor.

Although he still spoke to the other man, his eyes were blatantly on hers, causing her to add a seductive swing to her hips and a toss of her hair over her shoulders as she approached.

The moment she stepped up to him, he cut off his conversation and his eyes locked with hers. Desire, swift and furious, flowed through her veins, reassuring her she was making the right choice with this guy.

“I’m Scarlett,” she said, foregoing last names for the kind of night she had in mind.
