Losing Control by Desiree Wilder

the date with Ethan?” Dana sounded surprised. “And what about the VIP spots for the Poison show?” They all looked at me. Shit, I had forgotten about that.
    “Uh, I’m not sure yet.” I was trying to think of a way to let them down easy. “Let’s get all rocked up, get some drinks in us, and see where the day takes us. The Poison concert isn’t until tonight, and a lot could happen before that. We never make plans in advance, that’s what makes it so fucking fun, remember?” I said with a shitload of enthusiasm.
    Their eyes got big, smiles on all their faces. They could tell I was gonna be a spitfire today, and they were right. I got up and poured myself a cup of coffee, put a shot of Bailey’s in it, shook my ass at them and headed to the bathroom to shower. They jumped up and started getting dressed.
    While I was in the shower, I was fantasizing about what I wanted to happen today. I was so glad that I had decided at the last minute to throw my thigh-high boots and black mini into my suitcase Thursday night. There was something about being in heels and feeling that leather rub against my bare thighs that made me feel sexy as hell, and that was exactly what this day was all about for me. I wanted to feel sexy, I wanted to be under the influence, I wanted the music loud, I wanted to flirt and tease, I wanted the guys to look at me and to want me. The butterflies were wild now.
    I squeezed body wash onto my sponge and scrubbed every inch of myself. As I washed between my legs, I felt a little sore, but I quickly focused on something else, I wasn’t going to let that scene ruin my mood. When I wet my hair, I could smell Ethan’s shampoo and had to fight myself not to think about the amazing shower. I carefully shaved my legs and underarms. I was glad I had gotten a bikini wax a week ago, so that was good to go. I stepped out of the shower and dried off. I rubbed lotion all over myself and wrapped the towel around me. It was a little too short to completely cover my ass, but it was close. I put extra mousse in my hair and some body boost, so when I dried it and sprayed it upside down, it would have extra poof and bounce around when I walked. I put my makeup on meticulously, making sure the black eyeliner and smoky lids looked model-like and not clown-like. I stared at myself for a moment. Ethan was right, my eyes were beautiful… well, now anyway, with all the work I’d just put into them. I had to stop letting him come into my head. I had big plans today, and they didn’t involve Mr. Sensitive.
    I walked out of the bathroom and heard a male voice, then giggling women. I looked up and Trey was standing there handing something to Dana. I remembered I was wearing a towel, but before I could escape, Trey saw me. I couldn’t turn and run because I knew half my ass was showing and that would’ve been more uncomfortable for both of us, so I just stood there, nonchalantly making sure my other parts weren’t showing.
    “Hi, Gia,” Trey said, acting like I wasn’t half naked. “Ethan asked me to bring you girls over some VIP passes in case we got too busy to meet up before the concert.” But I knew the real reason. “We’re still gonna meet for the concert, right?” Ethan probably told him to ask that.
    “Of course!” Dana blurted. I think she knew something was up, but she didn’t want to miss out on this opportunity and I didn’t blame her. Plus, Trey was hot and seemed to be interested in her, so I didn’t want to take that away from her.
    Trey was still looking at me. It was like he didn’t believe Dana and he needed confirmation that I was going to be there, from me . Well, I wasn’t going to give him an answer because I didn’t know. I had other plans for the day and I didn’t have to have VIP passes for them.
    “Sorry,” I said, “I didn’t know we had company.” And I turned around, knowing full well what was showing, and walked back to the bathroom. I waited and listened until Trey left
