Now or Never

asked when her sister jumped into her seat.
    “Sick of what little sister? Sick of having wild sex, and not having a care in the world about it? No way in hell.”
    Grayson sighed. There was no reasoning with her sister.
    “Grace, we’re just doing what men have been doing since the beginning of time. Taking what we want, and enjoying it until the next best thing comes along. I’d say it’s about time the tables were turned.”
    “What’s next? Are we going to burn our bras in the front yard?” Grayson said wryly.
    “Nah, bras are a needed accessory.”
    “Do you think you’ll ever settle down?” Grayson turned on the blinker and eased onto the highway.
    “Who knows, at this point I haven’t met anyone that is worthy of all my time,” Luna said shrugging.
    Grayson smiled.
    “Besides, I don’t think monogamy is natural.”
    “Ever?” Grayson asked.
    “Ever. Even if I get serious with someone, it will be an open relationship.”
    “I don’t know, I like the thought of having one partner for life, just not anytime soon. Not after the disaster of a relationship I had with Joshua.”
    When they arrived, Grayson scanned the bar looking for someone to take her mind off Derrick, even if it was only for a few hours. It didn’t take long for her to single someone out. A tall dark haired man leaned against the bar talking to his buddies. He had an easy confidence about him that she found very sexy. Feeling bold, she walked up between him and his friend and ordered two drinks for her and Luna.
    Grayson turned and smiled at him.
    He gave her a once-over and smiled in approval. “What’s your name?” He asked, his voice was deep and sent a small thrill through her.
    “Grayson,” she said. She didn’t feel the need to give him a false name.
    “I’m Christopher and this is my buddy Brody.”
    Grace turned to take in his friend. He was well built blond and had shaggy hair. He looked like a surfer. Luna would approve.
    “Why don’t you guys come sit with me and my sister? She pointed at Luna.
    “Twins? That’s funny,” Christopher laughed.
    “What’s so funny about it?” She braced herself for another annoying joke that would just piss her off.
    “I have a twin brother.”
    “Really? Well that is interesting.”
    He flipped through images on his phone and showed her his clone. She looked at the image and then back at Christopher. “Your brother is hot.”
    He rolled his eyes with a grin. “A sense of humor and good looks? It must be my lucky day.”
    “Maybe it is,” Grayson said grinning back at him. She actually enjoyed the flirty banter. Maybe tonight was just what she needed. Escape from reality.
    The bartender put the drinks on the bar, and Brody paid grabbing Luna’s drink. Grayson took a sip from her drink, the whiskey tasted smooth and warm going down, just how she liked it. They headed over to the table.
    Luna and Brody soon took off to play a game of pool. Her sister seemed happy with her new companion. Not that it was hard to make her happy. Luna’s taste was vast and varied. Grayson watched her leave and wondered if her sister would ever find someone that would make her want to settle down.
    An hour later she was surprised to find she actually enjoyed Christopher’s company. He was intelligent, funny and not bad to look at. Just what she needed to get her mind off the one man she couldn’t really have.
    Finally relaxing and enjoying herself with Christopher, Grayson looked up, and her stomach fell. You have got to be kidding me. Derrick walked in with the same blonde girl by his side. Just hanging out with the guys my ass! He noticed her, and then his gaze shifted to Christopher, he kept his face neutral the entire time. She had been hoping he would come tonight, but wasn’t expecting a girl to be glued to his freaking side. Her blood boiled. She knew it! Damn him. She blinked back tears and reached up to trail her finger down the side of her companions face. He grabbed her hand and kissed her finger tips.
    Without thinking she grabbed the back of his head and pulled him towards her. He pulled back and looked at her questionably and she bit the corner of her lip. “Jesus, Grayson,” he whispered before his lips crashed down on hers. She could feel Derrick’s eyes on hers, and she intensified the kiss.
    She pulled away and took a long swig off her drink, and grabbed her coat. “Let’s get out of here,” she said with urgency in her voice.
    “You don’t have to ask me
