Lax was pacing inside me.

“You’re a fool, Lax growled. Lyla should be ours.”

“Not now, Lax.” I muttered under my breath, returning my focus to

“Remember how her skin felt under our hands. Her scent, her smile,” Lax continued ignoring me. “How could you let her go?”

I slammed my pen down as I growled. “Enough! Please Lax, I don’t want to be worked up. Please…. I don’t want that, let’s just go through with this.”

“Hey, groom!” he called out to me coming to my desk immediately. “Are you ready for tonight? It’s your bachelor’s eve! The last hurrah before you’re a married man.”

“Thrilling” I said dryly, not looking up from my papers.

Lenny dropped into the chair across from me, undeterred by my lack of enthusiasm. “Come on, man! I’ve planned the perfect night. Drinks, music and of course, some entertainment. I’ve got the VVIP section at TIC booked and the whole club locked down for us. I ordered the finest whiskey, all your favourites and the drinks too. There’ll be alcohol, booze, women…”

He paused as if he was expecting a reaction from me.

“Fine,” I murmured.
