as you and your pal called me. Besides, didn’t you insist on teaching me how to please a man? So, I had to oblige you. Let me please you, my furry boy. Pain is pleasure.” My boot landed on his mouth and I heard a crack. “By the way, I’m dirt poor. Even if you sue me, I can’t pay for your dental bills.”
The bouncer stalked toward me, and I looked at him, then at my pepper spray.
He shook a fat finger at me and snarled. “Dare you to use that on me!”
“Fine, I plan to conserve my resources, anyway,” I said. “I didn’t start the fight.”
“I don’t give a fuck,” he said.
“Don’t you dare to spoil my fun, K,” the bartender, who had been laughing like a banshee, shouted behind me and slid her ass onto the bar. “Let the human girl play. You want your patrons to have a good time? She’s giving them one.”
“Indira, the boss will—”
“I’ll face Rydstrom’s wrath,” Indira said. “And if he wants to cut my paycheck, so be it.”
“He won’t just cut your paycheck if you anger him,” K said, then shook his head. “I’m gonna toss out the douche. He’s down, so he’s out of the game.”
So that was the club rule—winners took all?
K dragged the fallen man, who was still howling, behind him. The ring of onlookers opened a path for K to take his victim out.
“Shit,” I cried in dismay, suddenly realizing that I was doomed. “So I screwed up the last chance to get hired here?”
Indira’s tattooed face scrunched with confusion. “Get hired?”
“I came for a job interview,” I said exasperatedly. “I want to tend the bar like you. I can help you lessen the workload, since it looks like all the meanest douchebags in the city are here. I can even work in security as you can see that I’m resourceful and capable, as long as the pay is good. I hope I didn’t come here and put up with all this stupid shit for nothing. I have a life, you know.”
Indira arched a brow just as three men lunged at me. They got too close for me to use the pepper spray, believing I wouldn’t be able to defend myself against multiple attackers.
The truth was that I didn’t need my Carolina Reaper to do proper damage.
“Bring down the bitch,” one of them yelled and all of the attacking men’s eyes glowed yellowish light. Damn, just as I suspected. None of them belonged to the human race.
I swept over the bar and threw glass and shots at the gang. Then I grabbed the edge of the bar, using it as an anchor as I leveled up my body. My boots lashed out with a round-house kick. Though I wasn’t able to kick down the beefy men, they all staggered back at the force of my dropkick. However, I didn’t come out of the fight unscathed either. One of the guys’ claws had slashed open my pants, revealing my creamy thigh.
I leapt onto the long bar in a crouching position and yanked my dagger out of my boot. I hissed at my attackers, aiming my dagger at their throats.
Their death might be my only way out, or I’d be carried out in a body bag. This wasn’t a human world and it had different rules which I had no idea of.
Indira snatched a hose and shot a stream of cold Coke into the faces of the nearest aggressors. “That’s enough,” she snarled, her fangs and claws out. “Fuck off now.”
“Who said it’s enough?” one of the pack dudes chuckled lewdly. “I say the fun has just started.”
“I say it’s enough.” A voice dropped like a bomb, deep, rich, yet more dangerous than midnight murder.
The club instantly silenced, like death had just arrived. Even the music seemed quieter.
I followed everyone’s gaze and stared up at a man standing on the balcony of the second floor, looking down like a king surveying his subjects. His dark gaze held mine, and I parted my lips like a star-struck teen.
His jet-black hair flowed to his broad shoulders and framed his savagely beautiful face. His sinful lips promised the wickedest pleasure. He was tall, large, and perfectly masculine, danger etched in every refined line of his hard body.
My breath caught. The man seemed to hold death’s door and decide who lived or died next.
That was his power, I realized. It traveled through the air, searching and condemning the victims even from the distance. And
