Griffin: Alpha Company Renegades, #2

By Kali Hart

Griffin

My life is the Army, but I bounce at a bar on the weekend.
It's my way of keeping an eye on my soldiers, and keeping them out of trouble when they're off duty.
But this weekend, I'm tasked with babysitting a bachelorette party for my buddy's fiance.
So when one of them sneaks out of the party room and nearly falls down the stairs, I don't think. I just act.
Time stands still when I see who's landed in my arms. I know in that moment that I'll do whatever it takes to make her mine.
Until I see the ring.

Of all the nights for my fake engagement ring to work, it had to be this one.
The sinfully hot bouncer breaks my fall and saves me from crashing down the world's longest staircase.
And then sees the ring.
His lust-filled eyes grow cold and distant.
And there's no chance to explain that the silly thing is meant to ward off unwanted attention during my besties bachelorette party.
Not wanted attention.
I woefully count my losses, convinced he'll be nothing more than a fantasy.
Until I find out he's the best man at the wedding.

Sweet & steamy short story instalove romance with an older alpha Army soldier and younger curvy woman with an HEA. NO cliffhangers. NO cheating.

Pass around the penis suckers, ladies! Don’t be shy now.

Those aren’t words I ever thought I’d say out loud, but when your best friend since kindergarten—aka the maid of honor—begs you to help pull together a last-minute bachelorette party, you do things you wouldn’t expect to make it happen.

I wait as the basket filled with colorful suckers makes it around the circle of ladies. It sounds like a simple task, but when you factor in the loud club music that has most of them dancing and the number of fruity drinks that have made their way through the group, it adds a level of complexity.

You’re a lifesaver! Zoey, my bestie, squeezes me so hard I cough. I’m so bad at planning parties. You really saved my bacon.

Glad I could help, Zoe.

I'm an event planner by trade, but for things like corporate dinners and milestone anniversary parties. I’ve never once put together a bachelorette party. I have to admit, it was more fun than I thought it would be.

Zoey unwraps her blue penis sucker, but her eyes wander. How did you ever book this room? This place is amazing!

Though my boss would probably kill me if she knew I used our company strings to get this room last minute on a Friday night, I’m happy I had the connections. Our company plans formal events—you wouldn’t find a penis pop within a mile of anything we organize.

"It is pretty cool, huh?"

We’re in a private room in the most popular night club in town. Cushioned couches with drink holders line the walls and create the circle we’re all in now. Strings of white lights line the ceiling. We even have our own yummy bouncers to keep uninvited guests out. One in particular has me all tingly between my thighs.

Remember this for me someday, Zoey says. You know, when I land a man and need a bachelorette party.

I give Zoey a quick side hug. You got it.

We both let our gazes linger on the bride-to-be, Sara. She looks absolutely radiant, and she can’t seem to stop showing off her flashy ring. She and Beckett are a perfect match, and I’m so happy we’re about to celebrate their wedding in just a week. It all happened so fast—which is why I was asked to throw this together at the very last minute.

But all the hoops I jumped through were worth it to see my friend so incredibly happy.

I can’t help but wish for the same. Someday.

I snap back to reality when one of the sucker’s drops and shatters on the floor. Grab another, I say to the blushing girl with eyes larger than saucers. Don’t worry, there’re plenty. I wait for her to fish another one out of the basket. Ladies, are you ready?

I cue the DJ to cut the music and briefly explain the rules, which only makes the room of women erupt in squeals and giggles. "Suck on your cocks until you get them to
