The third drink I had downed earlier had triggered a sudden, scorching wave of heat through my body. My heart hammered frantically against my ribs, and an unsettling, frantic warmth began to crawl through my veins. "Hey there, gorgeous. You look completely wasted. Come on, let's go," a strange voice whispered directly into my ear. I turned my head slowly, blinking at an unfamiliar man in a black button-down shirt.
