Then I kiss her long and hard, tasting her and filling my lungs with her scent. Possessive needs I’ve never known before lock into place and I want nothing more than to snarl and flash flame at others, claiming her for myself. She does not know that she's mine, but she’s my future bound. I might’ve thought at first that she was just here for a short visit, but now she’s staying forever.
And right then the Prince, heir to the entire Hyrrokin mafia of Tarvos arrives on the scene and ruins my special moment with my female.
“Godsdammit,” I growl at him. “Are you trying to ruin my moment?”
“Do you know this guy?” Aliyah asks, gazing warily at our new arrivals.
“Of course I know him. We went to school together.”
Jak and Rojer, the two enforcers always at his side, give me chin lifts. “Hey Baby Boss,” Jak calls out eagerly, using the ridiculous nickname the mafia made up for me long ago. “Good to see you again.”
“Can I be alone with this female for a moment?” Prince gazes hungrily at my gorgeous human, “before you take this any further?”
Asshole. He’s always been competitive that way, trying to steal my pleasure mates. Not this time. I lift our cuffed wrists. “Kind of difficult for you to be alone with her since we’re handcuffed,” I grin, happy that I had the foresight to keep her tethered to me.
He stands close. “I just need to know something. It'll take only a moment and once I confirm, then I can possibly leave you two alone.”
“Possiblyleave us alone?” Black smoke wafts from my nostrils. “I don't trust you.”
“You shouldn't,” he agrees.
I let out a snort of disgust and finally give a curt nod of approval. I’ll never be rid of him until he’s completed whatever task is stuck in his fool head. I wave a claw. “Do what you must but be quick about it.”
“Wait, what are you letting him do to me?”
Prince takes a piece of red fabric out of his pocket. “Is this yours?” he questions my female.
Aliyah looks at the fabric with disdain. “No, that's a synthetic. It’s not mine. I would never allow that to touch my skin.”
He nods and makes as if to turn away, then he twists back and pulls her into his arms, burying his nose in her neck just as I'd done earlier. And inhaling her scent.
My female cries out with surprise.
I let out a roar of outrage. I reach out and pull Prince off her with my one free arm. Then I toss him off the stage. He crashes to the ground and knocks over a table. I distend my jaw and blast a flame at him for good measure, singeing the tips of his ears.
Beings shriek and run in fear.
I stand on the stage, my claws fisted, glaring down at him. “You’re lucky I'm handcuffed to her or I would beat your sorry ass.”
Jak and Rojer help Prince up. He looks at them and simply says, “She's not the one.”
They both nod in understanding.
“What are you talking about?” I growl.
“Yes, what is he talking about?” My feisty female demands.
“Boss,” Jak interjects, “we need to get out of here. Too many eyes on us.”
“How about we leave this venue?” Prince questions, looking around at our disgruntled audience. “Let's sit in the club and talk for a bit.”
The five of us exit the singing lounge and we walk next door back into the club and find a relatively quiet corner and a large, comfortable booth. Prince orders a round of drinks for all of us, which decreases my anger. And then he initiates polite introductions, introducing himself and his two enforcers to Aliyah.
She looks back and forth between of all of us, noticing I’m sitting comfortably right next to the Prince. “Wait a second. You two are friends, aren't you?”
I shrug. “I've known him for a while.”
Prince crosses his arms and leans back in his seat. “We’re best friends.”
