《Starting Over In Sin City》Chapter Three
Advertisement
We hold eye contact for a minute and my body heats up under his stare. He was incredibly gorgeous and the dark
badass aura that surrounding him almost choked me.
"Excuse me" I say dropping my eyes from him and turned to Lana pleading with her. I was on the verge of a panic attack. I needed out of this situation.
"We will see you back there Cole" she said to him understanding my plea but his eyes stayed on me.
He didn't say a word but turned and left. I let out the breath I was holding in and stumbled forward a bit before I caught my balance.
"Hailey Jesus, come outside and get some air" she said concerned as she grabbed me and lead me out of the club into the hot Las Vegas night.
"What happened? Are you ok?" She asks as she hands me a cigarette.
I don't smoke often but when I get really worked up I will and she knew that.
I put the cotton filter to my lips and she flicked her lighter, lighting it for me. I took in the first inhale as deep as I could to get the nicotine in my system fast. I blew out a big cloud of smoke.
"Ya good? What was that all about?"
"I don't know. I felt like I was going to freak out in front of him" I panted
"Yeah Cole has that effect on women. He seemed to like you too, however, I'll tell you now he isn't relationship material. He hits the groupies, he doesn't have an old lady like most of the other club guys. So, that actually works in your favor" she looked at me raising an eye brow questioningly
"What?" I sassily ask with furrowed eyebrows
"Go home with Cole and forget Ryan. You don't want a relationship and neither does Cole but two good looking people shouldn't ignore each other as far as I see it. Good sex...no strings"
I tap my foot and bit my bottom lip. I decide to put my copper mug to my lips and throw my head back, slamming my drink.
"I don't know about all that but I want to have fun. Let's hit the bathroom first" I say smiling.
I just want to have fun. I don't want consequences tomorrow. As far as I see it, none of these guys bring consequences, and I need to get Ryan out of my mind. I can drink and have fun, maybe make some new friends. Maybe, some of these big guys wouldn't be bad friends to have on speed dial when Ryan shows up, because if I know one thing, it's that he's looking for me right now and he will eventually find me.

That's what I was going to do, put a smile on and make friends with some bikers, what the Hell? New me? I Still don't know who I am.
I walked back into the club like I had a new pair of eyes. This place looked...fun. I wanted to have fun.
"Forget the bathroom! How do I look?" I yelled to Lana over the very loud music that was playing for the pretty dancer on the stage topless.
"Hot as Hell bitch! Woooo!!" She yelled jumping up and down a little making me laugh.
"Let's get a drink!" I say nodding to the bar "Fuck it! Shots!"
We pushed up to the bar and waited for the bartender when a shadow came over me making me look up "Hey Ghost!" I smiled
His lips pulled into a smile right away
"Hey darlin, hi baby" his smiled mirrored mine as he leaned down to kiss Lana on the temple
"You want a shot? I'm getting fuckin wasted!" I yell at him because it's loud and I think the mule has hit my head faster because of my empty stomach
He chuckles down at me "I like her babe. Fuck yeah, I'll do some shots!" He then whistled loudly through his teeth, with just his bottom lip, with no fingers. Impressive
"10 shots of patron and bring 100 more to the back" Ghost yells to the bartender and my jaw drops
"That's like 5 shots each. This is only round one darlin"
The bartender quickly throws 10 shot glasses down like he's playing cups and poured straight down the line in less than 20 seconds
"Well Shit! Thank you!" I call to him giving him a wave
Lana grabbed two shots, only trying to give me one of them but I took them both. She just raised an eyebrow and grabbed one of her own off the mahogany bar top.
"To a new start" I say holding up my shot then downing it quickly.
"To new friends" I raise it to Ghost who nods to me and knock it back.
I grabbed another off the bar already feeling the hot liquor slosh in my empty belly.
"Whoa Hails I don't want to carry you home" she says
"Oh you won't" I say raising my glass "to um-oh FUCK RYAN!" I yell and toss back the third shot.
Lana and Ghost just sat there with amused expressions on their face until I grabbed the forth shot.

"Hailey, ok come on, I'm serious. I want to spend tonight with Ghost not babysitting you" she tried to grab it from me by I pulled back
"No stop last one ok- um- oh TO THE HOTTIE FROM WARLIER" I yelled but slurred the end
"Ok you want to find the hottie? Let's go, he's back here. This isn't what I meant Hails when I said- oh fuck it you won't even remember me chastising you anyway" she said putting her arm around me. Both her and Ghost walking me to the back.
She plopped me down on a tufted pink sofa and left me "I'll be back with some water. Stay here" she tells me firmly and walked away.
Oh my head was feeling it but I felt good. I wanted to dance and I wanted to find Cole. I searched around for him. I mean I'm just going have some fun with him, that can't hurt anyone.
I pushed myself up so I was sitting straight and looked around for him. I spotted his gorgeous face as he laughed loudly with a couple girls with way too much make up on and a couple guys with the same leather vest on that he did.
I watched how he ran his hand through his dirty blonde hair, just for it to fall back in place over his forehead. The black tee shirt he wore under his leather vest was straining around his bicep that was covered in tattoos that lead down to his hands. Even his fingers were tattooed. A ring was on his middle and right ring fingers.
I watched as he put, what looked like a blunt to his lips and hit it. When he turned his head to blow it out he caught my eyes. He held the blunt towards me and tipped it in my direction.
I nodded and stood up
He left the group of people and headed my way. The two hoes looked like they wanted to cut me.
I stood planted and watched him walk my way, his eyes never leaving mine and they were intense. Once he was standing a foot in front of me he held the blunt to my lips with his long tattooed, tanned fingers and leaned down to my ear.
"Do you want some sweetheart?" He asked in a very seductive tone that definitely insinuated a sexual undertone.
"Yes" I whispered but he heard me, I could tell by the smirk on his face.
I leaned forward and put the blunt to my lips and inhaled deeply, holding in the smoke. Then, standing on my tip-toes I reached up and wrapped my hands around his neck and moved towards him until our faces were an inch apart. He dropped the blunt. Both of his big his hands moved to my hips as I tilted my head and leaned in. He opened his mouth, allowing me to blow the smoke into his mouth.
That was hot
As I blew the smoke into his mouth he grabbed the back of my head gently with one hand. Once I had blown it all into his mouth, he brought his lips to mine in what was one of the softest kisses I'd ever had.
When he bit my lip, I opened my mouth, letting our tongues explore each other's mouth.
Fuck he can kiss
I finally pulled back for air but he bit my lip before letting me go. That did it, I felt my floss of a thong dampen.
He moved both hands back to my hip and started kissing my neck below my ear. My head was spinning. From the alcohol, from Cole, from my body being incredibly turned on right now but it didn't stop me from putting my hands under his tee shirt to feel his abs.
Jesus he's cut
I wanted to moan at the feeling but we were rudely interrupted "What is going on here?" Lana giggles behind me
"I leave you alone for five minutes and-
"Shut up" I laugh and take my hands out of Cole shirt and off his beautiful abs.
Her eyes go wide "come here" she grabs my arm leaving Cole and Ghost standing there but I could still hear them talking.
I heard Ghost say "It's taken care of boss, we're good to shut it down for the night"
"Where going to leave. You can take an Uber home because I'm leaving my car and riding with Ghost. I'll get my car tomorrow, or, you can ride with one of the guys" Lana says
"Ride with me" Cole said directly to me and he wasn't asking as his ocean blue eyes bore into me
"Okay"
