"Isn't tonight your bachelor party?" My dad asks, standing at my desk. Looking down at my watch, I see it's ten thirty-six. I'm supposed to meet Richard and the other guys at this strip club on the westside of town that Carl found.

"Yeah. I was just trying to finish this up and I was going to head there."

"Is Michael or David going?"

Rubbing my hand down my face I sigh. Michael's and my relationship is worse than ever. Dad gave me the CFO position that's under him. Pissing off Michael.

Michael has a temper and has started drinking more so he loses a lot of business because he doesn't know how to talk to people. So because of that, he lost out on getting the position. He's the COO which is basically the same thing I do.

"Michael is staying at home with Lori and the new baby," I say, but I know that is a lie. Michael will probably be somewhere getting drunk and fucking his friends Donnie's wife. "...and David hasn't made it back from New York yet."

"Well, don't get too drunk you have to look nice tomorrow for the wedding." He says, giving me a stern look.

Savannah and I have made it these past two years still strong. She has learned that she can't control me and as long as I come home to her we can both be happy. I just bought her a seven million dollar home that she's been getting ready for us to move in. I think she was more worried about getting me to the alter than me fucking with other women. Since I put the ring on her finger a year ago she's stopped fucking me as much. Which really doesn't bother me that much.

I don't respond to my dad. I just start putting everything up. Standing, I look down at my clothes. I hope this is fine for me to wear. I'm wearing the Saint Laurent suit Savannah picked out for me.

Pulling up to the address that was texted to me, I can see it's crowded in here already and it's just twelve. I pull out my phone and check the address one more time.

Shrugging I get out and lock my doors. When I walk through the doors it's loud and dark. It smells like cheap perfume and marijuana. I glance up at the stage and see a thick ass red bone with red hair working the pole. I look scan the tables before my eyes land on a table full of white guys dressed similar to me and know that's where I'm supposed to be.

Walking to the table, I pass a few naked women giving lap dances. "What took you so long?" Richard asks with a girl grinding in his lap.

"Working late."

"Ladies this is my boy last night as a single man so make it the best for my boy," Carl yells clearly already drunk.

"What can I get you, baby," Another girl asks me. I take it she's the waitress.

"Whiskey," I say, not really caring what kind. "Just nothing cheap." She smiles and nods her head before walking out.

We are there for about an hour and a half when the announcer calls for the next dancer. "Coming to the stage is one of you guys and some of you girls favorite...Lil Baby." There are all kinds of hoots and hollering.

When she walks out I freeze. I get that familiar feeling I get whenever she's crossed my mind. It's Ember. She's still thick as fuck put she more fit now. I sit up in my seat and stare at her as she climbs the pole.

"Got damn look at that ass," Carl says. "I wouldn't mind if she sits on my face."

I ignore him as I laugh to myself thinking of how scared she was to dance in front of me and now she topless dancing in front of a crowd. She works the pole before turning away from the crowd and bouncing that ass of hers. I can still remember squeezing it in my hand and how soft it felt. I get a little stirring and feel my dick getting hard. "Fuck," I think.
