her equal. Her partner in life.
    “Earth to Tawny, come in, Tawny.” Cherry tugged on her hair to get her attention.
    “What?”
    “I’ve been standing here for the past, oh, five minutes or so trying to hand you the darts. It’s your turn, unless you’d rather skip over the rest of the night and go straight to dessert?”
    “Chica, what are you talking about?” Her gaze darted to the table where the men were exiting the booth.
    Her friend rested her elbows on the high table, with her chin on top of her hands. “Girl, you look at him like he’s an ice cream cone that’s melting and you’d like to lick up every last drop.”
    Tawny twirled the darts around, staring at the rainbow of colors. “Maybe I was checking out Brody. He’s pretty hot with those brooding dark eyes. Has a whole rakish look about him. Sort of like Hook from Once Upon a Time .”
    “Hmm, the three of them together do make a pretty scene, but Brody’s so not your type. He works too much, doesn’t laugh enough, and you aren’t even looking at him. Nice try. Give Dave a chance. He’s a good guy.”
    “He’s a manwhore. All it takes is having double X chromosomes and you’ve got his attention. Take Brody. He’s got focus, goals, knows the importance of work.”
    Cherry stole her darts and tossed one at the board, hitting dead center. “If you want to date yourself, he’s perfect. Also, boring. Not that he’s boring, but the two of you together would be snoozeville. You need a guy who will shake up your world, make you laugh, and will rock your socks to the point you don’t care about work.”
    “And you think that’s David?”
    Cherry hit another bull’s-eye. “Yep, I do.”
    “What are you two talking about?” A deep voice rumbled in Tawny’s ear, sending the tiny hairs at the back of her neck dancing. David. Dear Lord, don’t let him have overheard us .
    “Nothing,” Tawny said.
    “Sex,” Cherry replied at the same time.
    He skimmed a finger down her arm, eyes locked with hers. “Darling, if sex is nothing, then you’re doing it wrong.”
    Pools of warmth flooded Tawny’s nether regions and flamed her cheeks. Sex with David could only be mind melting. There was no way it could be anything else when all he had to do was barely touch her and she was practically on the verge of an orgasm.
    “I think that’s my cue to head home.” Brody kissed both women on the cheek and headed toward the door. “Try to stay out of trouble and make good choices.”
    “We need to jam too. Gotta get home and let the mutts out.” Jason clamped a hand on David’s shoulder. “Dave, can you give Tawny a lift home?”
    “Didn’t you come together?” Her eyes darted back and forth between the men. “I can walk, it’s only a couple of blocks.”
    “Sweets, you’ve been drinking. There’s no way you’re walking home. Besides, Dave has to drive right past your place,” Cherry said, her voice sweet and innocent, belying the devilish tilt to her smile.
    Tawny shot her back an I-know-what-you’re-up-to look before giving in. Making a scene would only embarrass them all and spike David’s curiosity. What the heck, if she didn’t have to hurry home, she’d have a little fun. It’d been forever since she’d cut loose, and if getting stood up and canned in one day didn’t call for some frivolous fun, she didn’t know what did.
    She agreed and waved off the lovebirds before turning to David. “You don’t have to drive me home. I don’t need a babysitter.”
    “What kind of gentleman would I be if I left you here?”
    “Cut the crap, Farber. We both know you’re no gentleman. You probably have a life membership to Playboys International or something. How many women are you dating right now?”
    “None.” He twirled the end of her hair around his fingers, gently, to pull her closer. “For the record, I’ve never dated more than one woman at a time.”
    His warm breath tickled the side of her neck. If she turned a scant few
