Noah smiled, and it was a cold, terrible thing. None of the sexy, playful vampire I’d been dancing with could be found in his menacing expression. “If you’ve a death wish, Farrell, I’m more than happy to assist with that. If you don’t, I encourage you to walk away. Now. Last warning.”
Kingston looked between the two of us, a muscle feathering wildly in his jaw before he snarled. “I don’t know why I bothered. You’re not worth it.”
“Bothered doing what? Pick a fight?” I snapped.
“Tried to save you.”
I reacted like I’d been slapped. “Save me? This is what saving me looks like? Calling me a whore?”
He ran a hand through his hair, looking frustrated. “Just forget it.”
“No, actually, I think I want you to explain it to me.”
“This guy, the one you’re practically dry humping like a bitch in heat? He’s a monster, Sunday. One of the worst. He’s also the enemy. Or does the fact that you can’t shift mean you’ve lost all loyalty to your kind?”
Noah grasped Kingston by the front of his shirt and shoved him hard. Kingston went flying, knocking over a table and spilling drinks everywhere. The two bouncers stepped into action, but instead of going after Noah, they went to Kingston, lifting him off the floor and escorting him to the exit.
“Good riddance to bad rubbish,” Noah said, wiping his hands together before turning back to look at me. His eyes roamed over my face, his lips tilting in a frown at whatever he found there. He cupped my cheek, his voice gentle. “Are you okay?”
I wrapped my arms around my stomach, feeling cold despite the warmth of the crowded club. “Peachy.”
His frown deepened. “Come on, let’s get you something to drink.”
In typical Noah fashion, he didn’t give me a chance to respond before wrapping his arm around me and pulling me close. He led me in the direction he wanted me to go and just expected me to follow. For once, I didn’t fight it. There was something comforting about letting someone else take control. Even if only for a little while.
I wish I could say the night took a turn for the better after that. But it didn’t.
Not even close.
