calm and collected Mike Kelly was suddenly anything but that. And although Mike’s gaze had not once wavered from the tantalizing view in front of him, Lake was fairly certain that no matter how hot things got, his friend would not yield to temptation.
    Lake swallowed when the stripper took a step back and
then slowly began inching her thong down voluptuous thighs before quickly yanking it back it up. She was a shameless tease who was wicked as well, if the blatant invitation she was making with her tongue was anything to go by. He could just imagine that tongue of hers wrapped around his—
    â€œI need a cold drink of water.”
    He glanced over at Grey. “If you leave now, you’ll miss the best part,” he said.
    â€œThat’s not a bad idea, and I need that damn water.”
    Lake grinned when his brother got up and quickly headed toward the kitchen. He figured Grey needed more than a drink of water to cool off.
    â€œWhere’s Grey going?” Jesse Devereau leaned over and whispered.
    â€œIn the kitchen to cool off.”
    â€œI think I’ll join him.”
    Lake chuckled and shook his head when Jesse got up, too. They were cowards, the both of them. That left him, Cord Jeffries—a man he’d met and become friends with through Grey—and a few other guys whom he’d met that night, friends of Mike from Los Angeles, as the remaining fearless bunch.
    Pretty soon it seemed all the happily married men had deserted. Besides the groom, Lake was the only single man in the room. That meant he was the only one free to hit on the woman, make plans with her for later. He smiled at the idea.
    Starting with thoughts of a potential rendezvous with the exotic dancer, stripper, or whatever title she preferred,
he opened his mind to all types of possibilities, especially the ones that indicated he might finally get some sexual release after eight months. It wouldn’t be his first one-night stand, and it most certainly wouldn’t be his last. He was old enough to know the score, was very selective in his dealings with the opposite sex, and took the practice of safe sex seriously.
    His breath caught when the stripper crouched down to remove her boots with her bare butt pointed toward him. Oh, God, he could feel his heart rate increase, his pulse getting erratic. He was convinced he was about to have a coronary. But he would enjoy every moment of it.
    â€œSo, did you and that woman get together last night after the party?”
    Lake frowned as he cocked his head and looked at his clock, his eyes barely open. It wasn’t even six in the morning. Why was Grey calling him this early and asking him something so obviously private? “That’s none of your damn business,” he growled.
    He ignored the laugh that crackled in his ear. “Evidently you didn’t score, since your attitude hasn’t changed. Your bark is still that of a man who needs to get laid.”
    Lake rolled his eyes and flipped on his back in the bed, then gazed up at the ceiling.
    â€œSo, what happened?” his brother prompted.
    â€œNothing happened, Grey. She’s married.”
    â€œMarried? Shit. What kind of man would let his wife work in that type of profession?”

    Lake grinned. “He’s a policeman. Probably the same one who showed up at Sonya’s bachelorette party.”
    Grey laughed. “You’re probably right and they probably live in the biggest damn house there is here in Orlando, raking in all kinds of money just by exposing their bodies. Must be nice. Do you think me and Brandy are in the wrong business?”
    Lake rolled his eyes again, refusing to answer that. “I know you probably have a lot to do today, but why are you calling so early?”
    â€œBrandy wants you to come to dinner.”
    â€œIs she cooking?”
    â€œOf course not. It’s being catered as usual. My wife is too busy to cook.”
    Lake smiled. He knew that was
