A Kiss That Bites

Angerona saw that the man she was seriously drooling over had got up and was now walking in her direction. She felt panic and was eyeing the exit. However, the moment she was going to make her move, he was there with both hands flat on her table and frowning at her.

Up close the man was devastating and she could even smell the cologne he was wearing. All earthy with a hint of smoky sandalwood. As if he had been around incense recently and it clung to him like it was his own personal scent.

Slowly she brought her eyes to his lush mouth and began wondering if his lips would taste like whiskey or maybe some other kind of smoky flavored liquor. Angerona could only stare as his frown brought his lips into a harsh line and she had the oddest urge to smooth that frown away with her fingertips.

“Woman,” Alex said harshly to get her attention. “I do not know what your problem is, but I would advise you to stop fucking staring at me. Didn’t your mom ever teach you how rude that is?”

The woman looked up at him with surprise and sat there for a moment with her mouth open. The scent of lilies and spice was ever stronger now. He watched as her plump lips formed a perfect O and saw that her dark eyes were so black he couldn’t see her irises.

The sexy creature sitting before him had large, perky breasts and a hourglass figure to match. She had a body a man would die to fuck for the rest of his life and never get tired of doing so. He prayed she did not see his massive erection in his pants as he frowned down at her.

Alex was hoping to intimidate her into looking at something or someone else for awhile. She was beginning to distract him from his purpose tonight and that was to eliminate the Rogue threat from his club.

“I beg your pardon?” Angerona asked a little surprised by the rudeness and quickly went into bitch mode. “How do you know I was staring at you? Maybe I was staring at that hot bartender over there. Besides, it is none of your damn business who or what I stare at. I stare at whatever I damn well please.”

Alexander had to refrain from smiling at the feisty woman before him and leaned in a little closer to her face. Hoping to scare her just a bit.

“As far as I am concerned you were looking at me sweetheart and from the looks you have been giving me… I might just take you up on the offer.” Alex smiled wolfishly as he slowly cocked his head to the side. “And another thing, you might want to pull on a jacket. That shirt you are wearing is awful thin. It does not leave much to the imagination and I am sure every male in this place can see you are clearly aroused.”

Angerona quickly crossed her arms over her chest and glared into the eyes of the dark, opaque sunglasses. “Go fuck yourself, you egotistical Neanderthal.”

She couldn’t believe she just said that, but she did and it felt great saying that to his smug face. As if she would ever bed a self centered, jerk like him. It did not matter that he is the sexiest man she has ever laid eyes upon or that his very scent is wildly intoxicating.

She kept telling her herself to just look away, but she could not. The man is absolutely captivating and she could not understand why or how she found him so mesmerizing. He had an ego larger than her two friend’s combined and a mouth that would make a whore blush.

Definitely not bed material as far as she was concerned, but the way the light played on his face made her almost want to forget those things and hop right into the bed with him. To live dangerously for just a single moment in her life and forget about all her worries.

Angerona figured it was all the bad boy vibes he put out that made her feel that way. How else was she suppose to slap on a reason for her attraction to this man before her.

Alexander saw each emotion flitter through her dark eyes and began wondering if she knew how naked her emotions were to the world. The lights of the club brought her face into clearer view every once in a while and he saw how lush her lips were. She had lips that were the color of rubies and looked as sweet as ripe strawberries.

The woman had a body that was built to love a man roughly and the Lycki inside of him was growling. As if the monster inside of himself knew there was something different about this female and the thought of her looking at any other male really upset the creature deep within him. As if he cared what it thought, but he could not ignore his Lycki side or the reaction it got from this female seated before him.

Evahraine was feeling kind of dizzy and fuzzy as she tried to stand up from her seat. She was starting to see black spots in her vision and that told her she was extremely drunk. Normally she did not get this drunk from one drink, but whatever the bartender made, it was potent enough to knock her ass out. Wait a minute.

That was the last thought she had before passed out cold onto the bar area. However, before she went out cold, she could have sworn she heard her friend Alexis mutter, “Fuck.”

Drystan looked down at the two females who were know passed out cold on the bar and made a signal for Cedric. Cedric would take the females down to the cells one at a time while he would tell the customers the females just got really drunk and was making sure they slept off the alcohol in their systems before going back home.

Playing the part of a concerned bartender always made the customers happy and less aware of what they were really doing. So, one threat down and one to go. From the looks of it, Drystan may have to help Alex with threat number two. He was still staring and talking to the woman in the VIP section near the door. Which made no sense and wondered what the woman did to get his friend all riled up.

“Hey, Dry. I am going to take the blond down first and then I will be back for the black haired one.” Cedric said gently as he glanced over at Alex for a second before picking one of the women up.

Cedric cradled the blond close to his massive chest as he made his way behind the bar and through a swinging door. Behind the swinging door there was a long, wide hallway and walls of the hallway was lined with several shelves. Those shelves were filled with various liquors that the club served on a nightly basis.

Once down the hallway, there was a doorway that lead to several flight of stairs. Those stairs would lead deep underneath the club to where they had cells to hold prisoners they wished to question or torture or sometimes both.

Drystan barely acknowledged what his friend said as kept a close eye on Alex and the black haired beauty passed out in front of him. A couple of times a few male customers would come up and ask if they could take the lady home, but Drystan would give them a look that would freeze hell and watched as they would run swiftly in the opposite direction.

He was not allowing any filthy, pervert of a male that smelled of seven day old sweat take the woman any where. No, he had all ready laid claim on her and was not about to give up his prize that easily.

Soon Cedric returned upside to take the other female down as well and Drystan stopped his friend from picking up the woman. Cedric looked up at his friend and grinned.

“Taken a liking to her, huh Dry?” Cedric said as he chuckled at the dark look his friend threw his way.

“That would be no business of yours English. Besides I am getting mighty tired of watching Alex make a dick of himself. So, take over while I take this one down stairs.” Drystan said as he came around from behind the bar and gently lifted the female up into his arms.

Cedric watched as his friend went back behind the bar and through the door with the woman in his arms. He just shook his head and looked over at Alex. It would seem like his friend was trying to intimidate the female sitting in front of him and she looked like she was very pissed off.

If his friend wasn’t careful, that woman might just slap that smug look right off of Alex‘s handsome face. Which would be extremely hilarious to watch and Cedric almost contemplated on how to provoke the woman into doing so when he caught a whiff of a few more Rogues entering the club.

He turned towards the door in time to watch them walk in and head towards the back of the club. They were heading straight for Samuel and Cedric let out a few choice cuss words that would make a sailor blush.

* * * *

Alexander was paying no heed to the people and Myths around him. He was so focused on the woman in front of him that he almost did not notice that a few more Rogues had walked into the club. The arrival of more Rogues meant either one of two things. One, the other Rogues were here for greasy headed fucker in the back. Two, they were here on a hunting spree. He was hoping for the latter.

However, with the luck he was having tonight, he doubted that was going to be the case. Alex stood up and gave the woman one last look before heading in the direction of the Rogues. He did not care that he didn’t said goodbye or even say excuse me. He had no time for pleasantries or any of that manner bullshit. Alex out grew that a long time ago when he found out just how cruel the world could be when you were young.

Shaking his head lightly he cleared his thoughts and focused on the task at hand. He had Rogues to deal with and dwelling on his past was not a part of his agenda tonight. With any luck he could take care of the Rogues and go back home to sulk about his loss to his friend Cedric. He still thought that blond shit of a friend cheated on the last few hands of poker and intended to pay Cedric back when the time was right.

Angerona watched as the man in front of her stiffen for a moment and then watched as his nostrils flared. Like he was scenting the air for potential prey or maybe even a threat. Which was weird and she looked around the night club to see what could have spooked him.

All she saw was some men walking towards Samuel and they looked like they meant business. The men she saw were all dressed in riding leathers that was accented with shiny, silver chains and spiked collars around their necks that screamed “I’m a badass”.

Suddenly Mr. Sexy stood up straight and gave her one last glance before walking away from her. Angerona wondered if he knew the men that walked into the club or maybe even Samuel. However, the way he was walking over towards them told her those men were fixing to get an ass kicking. Which meant it was time to leave.

Angerona scooted around the curved booth seat, stood up, and scanned the bar area. Her friends were no where in sight. She tried peering to the massive, undulating crowd of dancers, but could not see them at all. It was not like them to not stay in plain sight. They always made sure they could see one another in a crowded area of this size. To make sure they all came out at the same time and to make sure no one got left behind.

She was beginning to panic when she remembered the bartender was drooling over her friends not long ago. Maybe he knew where they wandered off to or at least maybe saw them go towards the restroom. With that thought in mind, Angerona headed towards the bar as quickly as she was able.

Cedric was behind the bar when he noticed the woman Alex was talking to was quickly heading in his direction. Which meant she either didn’t know Alex was the boss and was coming to complain to him about his friend’s unrefined attitude or was needing a stiff drink form having to deal with his surly friend. Either way, Cedric was prepared for either situation. A lot of women liked to complain about Alex and his “aloofness” towards them. It had become a regular thing now a days.

When Angerona got over to the bar, she noticed that the dark headed bartender was gone and in his place was a smiling blond. She was kind of wary of asking him where her friends had gone off to, but maybe he saw something or knew how to get in touch of the one that did.

“Excuse me. Um, I came in here with a couple of my friends and uh, well, you see I have seemed to have lost them. They were sitting right here last I looked. A blond girl with blue eyes and a black haired girl with blue eyes. Both are pretty tall and slim.” Angerona asked with a great deal of trepidation in her voice.

Cedric tried not to blanch or make any sudden movements. For she could be talking about a different pair of girls and not the ones currently locked deep underground in the cells. So, he plastered on one of his award winning smiles and offered his hand towards the woman. Which she did not take and so he put his hand down beside him on the bar.

“Sorry, I can’t say I have seen either. Then again we have women like that coming in and out of the bar all night long. Sorry ma’am. Would you like a drink perhaps?” Cedric tried to be friendly and act like he knew nothing. Better to act that way than to give anything away and be in deep shit.

Angerona looked helplessly around for a minute before casting her gaze back at the bartender. Tonight was so not her night and it seemed to just get better and better.

“No, thank you. Wait! Maybe a picture would help? I have a few pictures of my friends on my cell phone!” Angerona said excitedly as she dug through small handbag looking for her cell phone.

Cedric tried not to groan as he watched her dig through her purse and pull out a small black flip phone. He watched with dread as she scrolled through her phone and finally showed him a picture of her friends. Mentally cussing up a storm he looked at the digital image of the woman before him with the two women who were now down in the cells below them.

“Sorry, ma’am they do not look familiar. I am sorry. Maybe they got drunk and forgot you were here or something? Maybe they are safely at home or at a friend’s house or something?” Cedric tried not let his smile falter as he gave her possible places her friends could be.

Hoping maybe that would send her on her way and out of his hair. Then again she could be another hunter or even a Rogue. That would seriously put a damper on things, but Alex would have let them know if she was either.

Which meant she was either a Myth or human. He was willing to bet she was human and that could spell trouble. Humans were notoriously stubborn creatures and did not like to give in easily.

Cedric had his work cut out for him and wished like hell Drystan or Alex would hurry up with whatever the hell they were doing. Because he had a feeling this woman was not going to leave without some kind of information about her friends or even the location of their whereabouts.

“I doubt that. Are you really sure you have not seen them? Maybe the bartender that was here before you knows where they could have run off to? I saw him talking to them earlier.” Angerona said desperately as she gave the blond a pleading look.

“Look ma’am. I…” Cedric didn’t get very far before he heard several rounds of gunfire and instinctively jumped over the bar in one fell swoop. He grabbed the woman, drug her down on to the floor, and used his body to shield her from any stray bullets that might have come their way.
