Taunt by C.M. Lally

I’m Dante. My brothers and I own The Glass Stripper, the hottest new strip club in Miami. I’m the baby of the brothers, “the jokester”, the one that is the tease…unless you’re in my bed, where I’ll make your hottest nights a reality. The only serious side to me is my work. I’m the money man, or in official terms here in the club, the Hotty CFO. I like to train my women to please me, telling them what to do and how to give me what I want. Until Ava comes along. Suddenly, I’m an ass and all of my tears of laughter have turned into a torrential downpour of emotion on her part. She thinks I’m a bully. She’s got me all turned around, upside down, and sideways in my thinking like I’m hanging on a string that swings back and forth like a pendulum. Love? I don’t fall in love. I’m leaving that emotion to my older brothers. I fall in lust – every day! I’m not a white picket fence kind of guy. I’m too young for that. Or am I?
