“What he’s drinking is almost pure alcohol. Vida will be heading upstairs after she gets redressed and takes a fifteen minute break.” King started to get out of his seat.

“King, what’s the connection between you and the girls?” Colton tried one more time.

King opened his mouth then closed it sharply. “There isn’t one, Colton.” He moved away from the table, but not before he gave Colton a warning look to leave it alone. Aware they didn’t know which areas of the club were bugged, Colton didn’t go after him to find out what he needed to know to keep Vida safe.

Instead, Colton sat at his table and continued nursing his beer. Not long after, Briggs managed to stumble up the steps after he finished several whiskeys. Colton waited until he saw Vida climb the discreet stairway before he started after her.

As he was going up the stairs, he noticed several of the Predators entering the door, taking front row seats. He should have known Max wasn’t going to miss Sherri’s show.

He entered the VIP room to see Vida already being bought a drink from one of King’s private customers that had watched her performance from the room. A huge, plate glass window provided a view of the stage, but anyone outside simply saw smoky glass.

Vida didn’t pay him any attention when he entered the room and took a seat in the corner on an expensive couch. King had spared no expense in decorating the private room.

Two of the shot girls came to his table. Colton ordered another beer and told them to leave him alone.

“Not interested?” one of the shot girls asked. She was shorter than the taller, curvier one. Colton would have taken a shot from her once upon a time, before Vida.

Colton shrugged. “No thanks.” He didn’t take his eyes off Vida.

“If you change your mind, let me know.” The blond, short one bent over to whisper, “I get off at three. I’ll let you take shots all night for free”.

“No, thanks. I’m with someone.” Colton nodded his head towards Vida.

She gave a smile. “Lucky girl.” The shorter one went back to the bar for his beer.

The taller one bent over the table, giving him a view of her tits.

“My name’s Krystal. I can keep my mouth shut if you change your mind later.” She nodded her head to Vida. “She’s a sweet kid, but I can suck your dick like you’ve never had it done before.”

The other woman returned, setting down the beer. They started to move away, but Colton’s words halted them both.

“I won’t be needing anything else tonight.” His cold voice left no doubt that he didn’t want to be bothered again.

Taking a drink of his beer, he noticed Briggs move to stand beside Vida, who was already talking to another customer. She played it cool, gradually changing focus from one man to the other, seeming reluctant at first then more willing to talk to him.

Colton saw Briggs’s hand wander over Vida’s ass several times while she kept moving out of his reach, shaking her head no. Briggs picked up his drink, downing it in one swallow.

Vida moved towards the room where she would give the lap dance with Briggs, who followed after her like he was on a leash. Colton wanted to beat the man until he had several broken bones; instead, he had to watch.

Colton moved to where he could watch her performance continue through the glass. He was only going to give Vida enough time to get what information she needed then he was going to shut her act down. After that, he knew exactly how she was going to spend the rest of her night.

Vida closed the door to the private room, feeling Colton’s eyes on her back, certain he was even now moving towards the window to watch her from the window. Briggs sat down in the chair. He was definitely drunk, and probably was a little high from the glazed look in his eyes. Both conditions she hoped would help her get the information she needed without her having to spend much time in his vicinity.

“Come here, Trouble,” Briggs crooned to her.

Vida turned away in disgust, hitting the button by the door that would fill the room with music. Putting the best sway into her hips she could manage, she neared his chair and leaned over him, giving him an eyeful of her cleavage.

“Come closer.”

Vida knew he wanted her on top of him.

“I’m mad at you, Briggs. I thought we had something special going on, and you didn’t even try to help me with Digger. You were going to let him have me when you knew how bad I wanted you,” she said in a fake, stupid voice that she had heard the other women use hundreds of times.

“You seemed close to Colton. I didn’t seem too important to you, Vida.”

“I was mad at you. I didn’t want Digger. You were going to take me to his bedroom.”
