BACHELOR'S PARTY

YIBO POV

"Yeah! Lets do this." Garrett said as wepulled up to a popular club in Beijing, we got out of the car and went in. All I knew was that they had rented it out for the evening.

Indeed it was empty accept for a barman and the DJ up on the booth.

"We have the whole club to ourselves, nice." Nicolas said.

No one knew how to have fun like my friends did; we played a series of games. Including a game of pool and manyothers; I realized just how much I've missed this crazy bunch.

"Gentlemen, a bachelor party is not complete without a game of Texas Hold 'Em." Garrett said as we made our wayto the huge poker table in the middle of the club.

We played a tight game until it was just Gio and I left.

Gio decided to bet all his chips on thelast round, so I did as well. Causing the whole table to erupt with small sounds of anticipation.

The dealer announced for us to reveal ourhands and Gio went first

"Pocket rockets" He said smugly and the guys hooted, "Who's the man?" he added sitting back folding his hands behind his head.

I smirked

"Actually..." I said revealing myhand

"I'm the man. Royal flush." I added and his smile fell.

I laughed as I leaned forward and grabbed all of the chips; Tom patted my back.After a moment Gio laughed as well

"Nice one my friend, I'll get you next time."

"Yeah, so what am I taking?" I asked

"I was thinking that Lexus LFA of yours."

He chuckled

"Yeah, keep dreaming." He said.

Suddenly the music died down and the DJ's voice came through the speakers

"Okay fellas hope ya'll having a good time."

He said

"Well it's about to get better because the girls are in the building." He added.

"The what?" I asked giving my friends a hard look

"You better not have..."

"Yeah, we all want to keep our heads heremate. We didn't hire any strippers." Gio said and the club dimmed.

Lights emanated from the stage in front of us as four figures emerged, and the one in the middle looked too familiar.

"Oh hell." I said my eyes widening

"Those aren't strippers. That's Zhan and his friends." I said and Gio's eyebrows shot up.

The music started and they all came underbright lights, and they started dancing.

Doing a perfectly synchronized routine of feminine and sexy dance moves. My eyes met with Zhan's for a second and he gave me a mischievous half smile.

"Wow, they're good." I heard Tom say and Ifelt myself nod.

I also noticed that doing this was a spare of the moment thing because of their clothes. They were all casual, just nipped and tucked in the right places.But Zhan's a bit different.

He's wearing a white tank top with ascissor cut V-neck, showing off a little of his chest. He wore some black mask cloth which covers half of his face though I can still recognize him because of his eyes and the mole on his lower lip.

He also wore some tattered denim jeans with red heels to be uniform with his friends. He suddenly took the whip on his back and started to whip it twice on the floor as he look back at me and seductively bite his lower lip and my attention shifted back to his face, I stared on his lips and I was surprised. I noticed he wore lipstick and it's red oh my goodness, something he never did before.

It looked striking in contrast to his dark hair; which swirled around whenever he turned or shook his head. He's making me crazy.

The music ended and the guys startedapplauding and blowing whistles

"Give us the groom." Bin said, and Tom and the rest moved away from me.

Zhan walked off stage towards me, hismovement graceful and sensual as a the wolf closing in on his prey.

I grinned a little and felt a spark of excitement; I had a feeling I was going to like this. Another song began and he started dancing in front and all around me, Zhan was a great dancer; he knew how to move that sexy body of his.

Though I couldn't look away from hiseyes; they were mesmerizing. I heard wolf-whistles behind me as he climbed on top of me and grabbed the back of my neck; pulling my head back then onto him.

For a moment I considered if he was drunk, but I knew better. It was uncharacteristic of him to be so openlyseductive and bold. Especially in front of people, but I've discovered that my soon to be lifetime partner has an alter ego.

He could go from being shy and reserved to a seductive god when he wanted to be.I didn't hear the music stop or the awkward silence, because his gaze held mine in a hypnotic trance and all I wanted to do was kiss him. Spectators be damned.

"O-kaay, don't go all discovery channel onus." Bin teased breaking the silence and Zhan finally looked up then got off me, blushing a little as some laughed and clapped.

Everyone began mingling with each other as the music resumed in the club.

Zhan grabbed my hand and we went to theother end of the club sitting on the couch together. He chuckled snuggling up to me

"Did you like that?" he asked,

"Well if the fire in my loins is anything togo by then yes I did." I said.

He turned his head to kiss me; since nobody seemed to be paying attention to us I deepened our kiss. I grabbedhis waist, kissing his neck. Loving the feel of his velvety skin on my hands and lips. Oh how I wanted to...

I really had to stop, because I was justtorturing myself. I was practically smelling the bouquet of wine I couldn't taste. I pulled away and he sighed

"Unfortunately this doesn't change anything, I'm still not allowed to sleep in your bed tonight." He said hisbreath a little shallow after our kiss.

"I know, that's the only reason why I'm nothauling you out of here." I said thickly and he chuckled,

"This is going to be a rough night." I added.

"I know, but after that we've got our wholelives to be together." He said smiling.

"Thank goodness." I said kissing hisforehead

"How long did it take you to realize it wasme up there?" he asked

"From the moment you walked in, five seconds." I said his mouth turned into an impressed grin

"Whose idea was this?" I asked.

"NiNi's, I'm not crazy enough to conjurethis up on my own." He said; I nodded.

"Ah but you were crazy enough to go alongwith it." I said and he laughed

"True, I wanted to give you the ultimatebachelor party experience" he added

"Without the guilt." I added,

"without the guilt." He repeated smiling.

His gaze shifted to the bar and it wasfixated there for a while, I followed it. Only to see Bin and Gio chatting,

"Do you think there's something brewingbetween them?" he asked.

"Oh yeah, they look more than a little cozy."

I said sure of myself. I could see that Gio clearly liked Bin but I knew his antics.

"Is that how we looked like in thebeginning?" he asked again still watching them. I chuckled remembering

"We were ready to pull each other's hair out, remember?" I asked and he nodded chuckling

"But seemingly we were transparent to the third person."

"I doubt they'll be tying the knot anytimesoon though, Gio hasn't had a serious relationship in almost six years now." I added.

I doubted he had one in mind now either, he normally overlooked his feelings; which is what I did with Zhan before. I lusted after him like crazy, but I overlooked the fact that I was willing to jump off a cliff for him.

"You guys played poker?" he asked smilingtowards the table in front, I nodded

"Who won?" he asked.

"Yours truly." I said and he chuckled

"Why am I not surprised." He said wrapping his arms around my neck.

"But you'd let me win right?" he asked seductively, looking at me through his thick long lashes.

I chuckled inwardly; Zhan has perfected getting me to do his bidding very easily. The amount of power he had over me wasmind boggling at times.

"Yes." I said,

"Only if we're playing strip poker and you're the only one stripping."

He pouted and I stared at his lips

"Humph, you drive a hard bargain Mr. Wang." He said.

His hand went in my hair, getting closer to me

"Are you sure there isn't a better deal on the table." he whispered in my ear.

I felt the warmth of his body like a caress;I took a deep breath, inhaling his sweet scent of ecstacy.

"I'm afraid not Mr. Xiao." I said standing my ground, he pulled away frowning.

"Why doesn't this seduction thing work onyou?" he muttered, how did he know itdidn't work? My mood darkened.

"Have you tried it on anyone else?" I askedtersely, he paused then smiled mischievously shrugging

"I don't know. Have I?" he said tapping his chin with a finger. I abruptly grabbed his wrist, glaring at him. He slowly glanced at my hand then back at me, his eyes didn't show anger for practically manhandling him.

Just quiet defiance and desire? I felt the quick rate of his pulse beneath my fingers and I loosened my grip but didn't let go.

"So aggressive." He murmured lifting hischin

"Only when it comes to what's mine." I said. He withdrew his hand

"Give me what I want." He persisted; I stared at him then laughed in spite of myself

"You play dirty." I said.

"Only because you're being unfair." Hecompleted what seemed like our mantra,I held up my hands

"Alright." I said.

"You shall win in every game of poker your highness." I added kissing hiswrist hoping I didn't hurt him; he smiled kissing me.

"And you shall be rewarded with a striptease my king." He said; I chuckled

"Why do I get the feeling you just get a kick out of dominating me?" I said. And God only knows I want him evenmore when he challenges me like that.

He chuckled too

"I just get a kick out of restoring the balances." He said; I raised aneyebrow

"You can't always have it your way. I'm your kryptonite Superman." He added.

I extended my arms and he came into them

"Heaven help me." I said and he laughed playing with my shirt.

"Are you getting cold feet?" he teasedtilting his head up to look at me

"Well I'm marrying my kryptonite, what do you think?" I teased and he chuckled.

"My feet are as warm as can be my dear." I said kissing his forehead.

"Alright ladies, let's move out." Hancalled out then she turned to us

"You too Zhan." She added,

"Don't make me come over there." She threatened.

She moaned in complaint and I chuckledreleasing him, he gave me a chaste kiss then stood up. I couldn't help but playfully slap his lovely bottom; he froze.

"Well you are my stripper after all." I said and he gave me a hard look

"Whom I love and will be marrying in a couple of hours." I added quickly.

He smiled

"Good answer." He said blew me a kiss then walked away.

"We were never here," NiNi said

"Its been fun boys." She called out and they disappeared out of the club.

"You fortuitous son of a gun." Garrett saidas I approached them, I smirked

"Don't I just know it," I said.

"Lets get out of here too, you have to lookfresh for your wedding, or else I lookbad." Gio said, we laughed.

When we arrived back at the estate, Gio and I sat in the lounge a bit. Talking about old times.

"Yu Bin, what's going on there?" I asked and he slightly grimaced then paused

"He's hot, intelligent and fun." He said

"Yeah I like him...a lot." He added.

My eyebrows slightly rose, because heactually sounded genuine

"Before you jump into conclusions, I'm notgoing to pursue this one." He said

"Last time I checked you normally don't have a choice." I said chuckling

"Whoa, I'm not ready for that." He said.

"I never was either." I said and he slightly frowned

"He's trouble I don't want or need in my liferight now." He added

I sighed inwardly

"Bin is nothing like Celeste buddy." I said and he surprised me by nodding

"I know, that's the problem." He said.

I looked at him questioningly

"You're speaking riddles again man." I said and he laughed,

"Look whose talking." He said getting up.
