Sammy hated dealing with bad publicity. And there were too many people to buy off, another favored tactic for cooperation and keeping witnesses quiet. So she intended to leave with absolutely anyone else tonight. Directly after her seductive performance.
Searching quickly for a group of two or three men alone without dates, Lilianna spotted a table with two strapping, very attractive cowboys. Perfect.
They were kicked back, each sipping an icy bottle of beer, and were ideal for her plans, as long as the third empty chair at their table wasn’t occupied.
She strutted up to their table and promptly bent over the back of the empty wooden chair, hoping her boobs were bountiful enough in this shirt to catch their attention. She’d unbuttoned her shirt past her bottom bra edge to aid in this endeavor as she’d selected her song at the jukebox. She then wiggled her shoulders along with the music.
Both men she now exclusively performed for had dark hair. But while the one on her left had simmering bedroom brown eyes and a straight, bright, toothy grin, the other had meltingly hot, metallic, gray eyes that burned through to her soul. He didn’t so much as smile as he smirked with sexual innuendo and definite interest at her dancing.
Each of them had paused to watch her perform for them, beer bottles in hand on the way to a sip. One grinning and one smirking. Both were equally interesting to look at from her perspective. Maybe this was a good idea for more than her initial reason. Her libido did its own unspoken dance of joy at the possibility of some action tonight.
There was no third drink on the table signaling another person, man or woman, and she had their complete attention. She rose, threw her arms over her head, and rolled her body to the seductive beat of the song, but she kept eye contact with first one and then the other.
The more she stared at these two men, the more she wanted them, whether or not they also saved her from this precarious situation. It had certainly been a long time since she’d tripped the light fantastic with any guy for some long-desired satisfaction.
Dancing for these two made her wonder which one she’d choose. They were both easy on the eyes. Her libido joined the party again, revving her up with each second that went by.
Mr. Seductive Gray Eyes winked at her. He looked vaguely familiar, but she didn’t know where she could possibly know him from in this remote area. She reached out and stroked his arm from shoulder to elbow as her body moved with gymnastic gyrations she hadn’t realized she could do.
He lifted his hand to touch her shoulder, but she was faster, moving away before he connected. She pivoted quickly, doing a perfect pirouette, and turned to face his friend.
Out of the corner of her eye as she’d moved, Lilianna had noticed that Ted was still seated at the bar. His undivided focus was completely on her. He likely wasn’t going to let her do what she wanted, which was leave with anyone else. But she had to try. Had to escape him. Couldn’t let him, or rather Sammy, win. Didn’t want to spend the rest of her days in a black-market brothel.
Time to play this act even harder. She needed to get out of here with someone else. Not the guy who would take her immediately to the loan shark she’d run from yesterday in a blind panic. Sammy Heller wanted her to pay for her dead cousin’s debt. She disagreed that Mick’s unpaid track losses were now her obligation because of their family connection.
Screw Mick’s debts. She’d had nothing to do with his appetites for gambling, either good or bad. She refused to pay a cent toward his addiction. Especially not after his untimely death.
But Sammy wasn’t above doing his best to kidnap her and make her pay or forfeit her freedom, regardless of her thoughts on the matter.
She’d heard plenty of stories about how Sammy resolved the issues of deadbeats who failed to pay what they owed even after they passed on to the next spiritual realm. She wanted no part of it. So she’d run. And now she danced. Time to ensure her future freedom.
Lilianna turned her attention completely on the two men she was trying to coax into taking her out of here.
Sprawled comfortably in his wooden chair with his back against the wall, the guy with the bedroom brown eyes watched her intently for several moments, then motioned her to move closer. So she did.
