"I thought this was supposed to be girls' night out," Mia Tyler said.
"It is," Liv said. "Why?"
"What's he doing here?" She pointed out Elijah Woods standing at the bar.
"He's not the one we need a break from. Besides, they're leaving day after tomorrow."
Christine Astin nudged Amy. "What's wrong with Nicki?"
"She's mad. She hasn't gotten laid in de past few weeks."
"Oh. Good reason."
They were at the Viper Room. Liv and Christine invited the girls out for a going-away celebration. Thi, Alyssa and Beth were on the dance floor, while Amy and Nicki stayed at the booth.
"Imagine my surprise when I looked over here and saw you. Hello, angel."
Amy tilted her head back to find Ryan Reynolds standing behind her. "Hi, Ryan."
"Care to dance?" She bit her lip. "Come on. You know I don't bite." A smile tilted the corner of her mouth as she stood and followed him into the crowd.
"How does Amy know Ryan Reynolds?" Liv asked.
"Because she fucked him," Nicki replied.
"Good way to know somebody," Mia said. "Speaking of bodies . . ." As a group, they turned to see a cute up-and-coming actor walk by. "That's one I wouldn't mind being naughty with."

"Hi, I'm looking for Amy Brouchard."
Asher turned to find a pretty brunette. He smiled. "Hey, chere. Amy's outta town at de moment."
"Damn. My agent was supposed to call her. I'm Ann Hathaway." She held out her hand.
"Asher Brouchard, Amy's brother." He captured her hand. "You have beautiful eyes."
"Thank you." She blushed. "Do you have any idea when she'll be back?"
He shrugged. "Two or tree days."
"I need to be in London then." She put her head in her hands. "This is so not good."
"How'd you hear bout Amy?" He wiped at an imaginary spot on the bar.
"Through Elijah Woods. He knew I needed photos for a magazine layout and gave me her number. My agent was supposed to call."
"Tell you what. Come by morrow round one an I'll do de photos."
Her head came up. "Seriously?" She threw her arms around his neck. "Thank you so much."
"Since you're here, wanna drink?"
"Um, sure. Recommend one."
He smiled, very predatory. "You really don want me to do dat. Daiquiri is de safest you'll get wit me."
"Okay." She let out a breath when he walked away. She felt as if she was in over head with him.

Nicki couldn't have timed the meeting better if she had planned it. She wound her way through the dense crowd when she collided with a well-toned body. Her apology died in her throat as she glanced up. David Boreanaz was plastered to her. Without saying anything, he captured her hand and led her through the crowd, down a hallway. Pausing in front of a door, he inserted a key before ushering her inside.
The room was illuminated by a streetlight from outside. A desk, a couch, a few chairs and filing cabinets took up space in the tiny room. She opened her mouth to say something when he lowered his head. "No talking," he said before kissing her.
He backed up until he reached the desk. Turning them around, he placed her hands on the desk top. "Don't move your hands."
She bit her lip to keep from asking questions. Her skirt was pushed up around her waist while her thong encircled her ankles. She could feel her juices slide down her leg in anticipation. The rasp of a zipper and the crinkling of foil let her know what was happening. His hand on her back pushed her forward until she was bending over the desk.
Slowly he slid inside her. One hand tangled itself in her hair while the other one circled her clit. His hips began to pump to the rhythm of the muted music. She felt his breath on her ear, his voice a whisper.
"You're such a slut. Only a slut would fuck a guy in a dark room." She tuned out what he was saying. Her fingernails dug into the desk as the first spasms started. "That's right. Squeeze my dick with your cunt. Come on my cock."
"Sweet Mary," she moaned. She hadn't come this fast in a while. She bit her lip to keep from screaming. His hand tightened in her hair. He pounded into her from behind, sending her into another orgasm. He groaned and she saw stars.
Nicki kept her eyes closed as she lay on the desk, listening to him straighten up. She opened her eyes when she heard the door open and close. Next to her hand was a Polaroid picture. Her eyes widened as the picture developed. There she was, bend over the desk, back arched and head thrown back. David was balls deep inside her, his mouth next to her ear, his pants around his thighs. She smiled as she tugged her thong back up. Grabbing the picture, she headed back to the table.
"Well, don you look thoroughly ravished," Amy said when she saw her. "Thi was bout to send out a search party."
"Thank God she didn't." She sat and took a long drink of someone's beer.
"Would have shocked her sensibilities? So, who was it?"
A smile slid across her lips as she fanned herself with a Polaroid. "An Angel."
Amy thought for a moment then searched the crowded club. "In black leather? Damn." She couldn't find a sign of David Boreanaz anywhere.
"You can't get 'em all, Brouchard."
"I would have at least liked to look."

"Is Asher here?" Ann asked.
Patience slid a drink in front of her. "He's upstairs. You Ann?"
"Yeah. What's this?" She held up the glass and sniffed. "Whoa," she said as the odor hit her.
"Ya drink it, ya don't smell it."
"I'm not a strong liquor person."
She smirked. "You're gonna need it wit Asher. He's a lot sexual."
"I noticed." She downed the shot. It burned a path down her stomach. "Oh good God."
"If you go straight trough de kitchen an out de back door, you'll see de stairs."
"Thanks. Any advise?"
"Yeah, run. If dat's not possible, get ready to have a good time."
"Gotcha." Ann followed the directions. Standing in an alleyway, she passed a motorcycle to get to the stairs. She climbed slowly, feeling as if she was meeting the big bad wolf.
"Mornin," Asher greeted her. He sat at a bistro set on the balcony in a pair of lounge pants, smoking a small cigar with his feet on another chair. Holding out a cup, he asked, "Coffee?"
"No thanks. The bartender just gave me a shot of liquid fire." She climbed the last few steps. "It's after one o'clock, technically not morning."
"For me it is." He stretched, muscles rippling. She looked away, missing his knowing smile. "Hope you do your own makeup. Lyssa wit Amy."
