was around. I ignored him the best I could, and worked on keeping my expression even.
Apparently, I hadn’t worked hard enough and he noticed my irritation. “You’re so sweet, Kiera. You’re like an innocent school girl.” He shook his head in open delight. “I just want to…deflower you.” He winked at me.
I blanched and stared at him, totally speechless.
Kellan chuckled softly, watching my face, and Matt beside Griffin snorted. “Dude, she’s been with Denny forever. I’m pretty sure you missed that opportunity.”
My mouth dropped open as I listened to them in mortification. Were they really discussing my virginity…right in front of me? I was too stunned to move away from the table.

Griffin turned to face him. “Too bad…I could have shown her the world.”
Evan and Kellan laughed at him while Matt, barely containing his own laughter, said, “When have you ever shown any woman…the world?” Griffin scowled at them. “I have skills…you guys just don’t know. I’ve had no complaints.”
Kellan grinned. “No repeats either.”
“Fuck you, man. I’ll show you right now! Grab a girl…” He looked around the bar, like he was searching for a volunteer. His eyes eventually rested on me and I paled even more and backed up a step.
“Noooooo,” All the guys loudly said at the same time, backing away from Griffin a bit and holding their hands out, as if to physically restrain him if necessary.
Regaining my composer, since the conversation had moved away from my experience level, I thought now was as good a time as any to slip away from them. I started sliding slowly to the side, but Griffin’s eyes were still on me. He grinned widely as he ignored the laughing going on around him.
“Kiera, if you’ve already been deflowered…” he threw an irritated glance at the guys, “by a tool, I’m sure…” he looked back to me while they laughed harder, “…then let’s hear something naughty.” His pale eyes sparkled with playfulness and he started playing with his tongue, more specifically, the barbell pierced through it. My stomach turned a bit at the sensuality of the move. I really didn’t want to answer his stupid request.
I grimaced and made to walk away. “I have to go back to work, Griffin.”
“Oh, come on…just one little curse. Don’t you ever swear?” He reached out and grabbed my arm as I tried to walk by him.

More focused on pulling my arm away from his grasp, than what I was saying, I sighed and stated, “Yes, Griffin, I swear.” I immediately regretted saying that.
“Really, let’s hear it.” He seemed genuinely amused at the idea of me trying to be as crude as he was. Evan looked embarrassed by his persistence and rolled his eyes. Matt put a hand on his chin and leaned forward and Kellan ran a hand through his hair and leaned back, both looking at me curiously. I was starting to get uncomfortable under their scrutiny.
I glared at Griffin. “Damn.”
Both Matt and Kellan chuckled. Griffin tucked his blonde hair behind his ears and pouted. “Ooh, vicious. Now let’s hear a real one.”
“That is a real one.” I really just wanted to walk back to the bar, but felt trapped by the odd conversation. Kellan was openly laughing at my discomfort now, and my irritation towards him specifically was growing.
“Okay, how about a little more colorful one…an easy one. How about…bitch?” He grinned devilishly at me as he crossed his arms over his chest.
“You’re such a child, Griffin.” I rolled my eyes and looked over at Evan, silently begging him to end this conversation, since he was the only one besides me who looked mildly uncomfortable.
Griffin laughed at my obvious plea. “You really can’t say it, can you?”
“I don’t need to.” It wasn’t that I never swore…it was just usually safe in my head, where it wasn’t quite so offensive. I wasn’t about to do anything just to please Griffin anyway. I considered simply walking away
