Chapter 2 A night with Ezra

The previous night, I heard a knock at the door, i knew Viper had sent someone to deliver the dress to me already . I quickly open the door to meet a man in dark clothing. He handed over the dress and and address on a piece of paper and immediately walked a way.

I was expecting the address to be in a secluded dark area and not a club. What could Viper possibly want from me in a club.

Right after he sent some women over to help me with the dress and make up. I held myself from slamming the doors on their faces or pulling their hair out as the walked around my hotel room. I had to remember, I'm doing this for my brother.

I'm all made up.still having no idea what I'm supposed to do but run through the crowd in my blue dress and sliver strap high heels.

I board a cab and make it to the club only to see people standing in line ready to get in. My phone rings, I check the caller ID and it's Viper." Go to the bouncers up front and give him the code GROWL, he'll let you in immediately". And that worked, those hefty men let me in without a blink after I had given the code I was asked to.

I walk in only to get dragged out outside by a tall man in black into an SUV where Viper sat. He looked my up , with a wicked smirk" you clean up nicely Jo".I think of the spank I'd have to give my brother when all these is over. I ask," what role am I supposed to play in this dirty plan of yours" The man in black was about to hit me, but Viper holds up his hand "I see that tongue of yours doesn't rest, let's put it up to a test tonight"

"Since you're to eager to get this started", He says pulling out his phone from his pocket. He types in some things and points the phone in my direction."Your task is to distract this gentleman tonight."

I look at the photo, a man so good looking, with emerald green eyes, black hair and a strong jawline with beautiful lips. If we weren't in the situation, I would have given this man a go. I give myself a slap in the mind " you're here for Lucas don't mess it up"

Do I get anymore information on homy, his age, occupation, name,... How can I possibly distract him. Viper's face goes serious hearing this. Make sure he stays in the club he says in an icy tone. He lifts his hand slowly and touches my face, " use every means necessary ". He Comes closer until we're barely touching. He stays like that ans says , Don't mess this up Jo Adams.

I hold myself from yanking his had off my face. Just looking at him disgusts me, let's get this over with, I say . He moves way with a wicked grin.

I step out of the car and the door closes, from the window he says, leave once it's 2am, I assume you can make your way home after that.

He smiles while the car drives off, leaving me standing alone outside of the bar, how did I get myself into this.

How am I supposed to restrain a guy like that, whatever that bastard has in plan, it's not good. I close my eyes and picture lucas' face, He's worth it. I have to do this for my brother. This guy might already have someone else on him to night

I straighten my stance and walk forward into the club, the music pounding loudly. I dance my way through the crowd as I look around for the guy I am supposed to distract. I don't see him anywhere.

I finally sit and order the bartender to give me tequila. I fear that he has slept through my fingers and had gone. I keep checking, I looked through the lounges, tables and packed bar, he's still no where to be seen.

I settle down again, I needed a break from all these. I see two males talking at the far end of the room. I looked away and looked back, that was the guy I'm looking for besides another male having an argument

I don't know whether to do a happy dance that I have found him or to dread the fact that I have to keep him here .

His companion walks out on him after a heated argument and my target guy, just shakes his head, I thought to myself, this is a perfect opportunity to get his attention.

I flip my head to the side exposing my neck, titling my neck to the side in his direction. He walks over to my table. " Two shots of tequila, one for me and one for this beautiful lady". I look up stunned by the deep dark rich voice that vibrates through me. He looks at me and smirks .

The bartender comes over with the drinks and I say Hi, He replies with a Hi. That voice, wow, he looks even more beautiful in person, the light illuminates his emerald green eyes, his hair, dark as coal . I'm still stunned at the fact that I got his attention.

I take a sip if my drink to gain courage before talking. I should have been someone I didn't find attractive at all.

That was a heated argument I say, giving him a quick glance as I toss my hair over my shoulder, "you're very observant " he remarked slowly. He looked straight into my amber eyes and I try not to state into those beautiful emerald green eyes. I'd always thought my eyes were plain, but here is someone staring at them. I swallowed hard before responding

Well, I wasn't the only one who noticed it. I take another sip. " Do you want to talk about it"?

He shines his while perfectly white teeth in a grin." Does it look like I wanna talk about it? He lifts his glass and takes in the shot with flinching and requests for another. He then turns towards me , one his hands on the bar and I realise the well built muscles. I quickly pull my focus back to his face

" Why is a woman like you in a club this night all alone?" He raises his eyebrows ready for an answer.

I tease, "you're very observant", and I watch as his eyes widen before he lets out a small laugh, a sound I could live with hearing my entire life.

He stretches out his hand,"I'm Ezra",he says

"Jo" . Introduce myself as. The feeling of his hand in mine, felt marvelous. Strong, not hurting but firm. It felt as though he could shield me past everything.

"Jo, he smiled", I like girls with male name. " It's actually Josephine, I like Jo better, it's shorter., I replied.

Conversations begin with place of birth. And then questions after questions. We shared stories and laughter. Hours passed and I had a little too much to drink. The way he looked at me made my belly flip and turn with butterflies. His eyes, searching through my face over and over trying to see through me.

Deep down I felt sorry for actually using him. He's nice, funny, and very handsome. I felt bad doing what I did. I reminded myself,after this night, it's all over and he won't even remember me .

As the night progresses, I draw closer him as I softly caress his arm and he slowly this his hands through my ears, it felt so so good.

My alarm ran the first time and I see it's 2am, which means the task is over and that I'm free.

Erza, asks me "what does the alarm mean", It means" time to go", I replied . He frowns at the reply and I smile

Stay with me a little longer, he kisses my neck and I giggled, he did it again and I respond to his kisses as he moves to my lips. It tingles when he stops. My skin ached for him, I needed more. He kisses me again and all rational thought went out the window.

"I never said where I had to go" I sighed. He gets up to his full height, he's so tall , I thought to myself, I didn't realise that.

The next minute his hand is on mine as he pulse me up and out of the club into his fancy SUV. The next moment we're in hi hotel room.

That night , Ezra and I had to idea what's to come after.
