"Could this dress be any tighter?" I tug at the bottom of the dress attempting to stretch it, as I walk into our office after changing into the planned outfit for the undercover mission.
Theo crosses his arms, a small frown in his face. "I'm pretty sure that was the plan."
I look up at him, with a raised eyebrow. "I thought you'd like it?"
"I would," He mutters. "if you were wearing it for me, not Dale and the entire male population of that club."
I roll my eyes, secretly grinning on the inside that he cares. "Like anyone's even going to take a second look."
"Yes they are." Theo deadpans, before rubbing a hand over his face. "This is going to be a lot harder than first anticipated."
The door is pushed slightly open and Jake peeps his head inside. "Clare said it's go time."
I nod. "We're on our way."
With Monroe's not being too far away from the offices, we decided it would be safest if I walked to the club by myself, while Theo and the rest of the team take the van and park so that they're hidden.
I get in after a few minutes wait in the line and make a beeline for the bar so I can survey my surroundings. Dale, looking pretty similar to the photo I was given to detect him, wasn't hard to spot thanks to the security guards surrounding him.
Could he make it anymore obvious that he works dirty. A normal twenty five year old doesn't make the money to pay for security.
They also don't need to.
"Bennett, we're connected to the security cameras, we're ready whenever you are." Theo's voice comes through the ear piece I'm wearing. "Tuck your hair behind your ear if you can hear me."
I follow his instructions, before taking one last glance at the commotion. I grab the drink I ordered for extra effect and make my way to the dance floor. I can't just ask to join Dale, but I can get myself invited up there or for him to come to me which would make this a lot easier.
Theo's cough when I start throwing out my best seductive moves, makes me grin and thankfully it only takes a few minutes before the tiger leaves his den. His hand lands on my waist and he spins me around to face him. I give him the best seductive smile I can muster in the unwanted situation.
"What's a girl like you doing here alone?" He attempts to purr in my ear.
I shrug and lean against his chest, before whispering in his ear. "I hope that's a good thing."
Dale smirks. "Oh, it definitely is. Especially when I take this off you later."
His mouth moves to the sparkly strap, as his teeth graze my skin.
"Get his mouth off you or I'll storm in there and do it myself." Theo bellows through the intercom and I wonder if our colleagues can hear him. "I kicked the crew out, I'm not joking Liv, finish the deal."
