I snap out of my appreciation and close the couple feet of space to her, kneeling at her side to give her a long once-over. “Damn, little bird. Do you realize you’re manipulating his mind? Keep it up. Tell him to go bring out the fucking health keeper working with Aris. Tell him to do whatever it takes. And when it’s over, make sure you instruct him to forget what you’ve just done. We can’t have him spreading our secrets now, can we?”
I turn my attention to where Cooper, Govan, and Walcott finish dismembering the two other security guards. The Strip dwellers are no longer in sight, the little shitheads so stupid for giving up my offer just for human donors they’ll probably kill by tomorrow. Whatever. They’ll realize it sooner or later. I can’t have assholes like that lingering around the Bella anyway.
“Bring me the Esor health keeper and tell no one. Fight him and incapacitate him if you have to. Kick him in the damn balls a couple times while you’re at it.” Hayley leans even closer, digging her fingernails into the man’s chin as she refuses to break her gaze, far more talented than me. Sawyer will have a run for his power with her. I can’t help but think about all the things she could do with this ability. Hell, I might even let her practice on me. I’d love to see what it’s like to be at my sexy woman’s imaginative mercy. Maybe she will command me to lick her pussy all damn day and night. Not exactly something I wouldn’t do already if she let me.
Fuck. Now I’m getting distracted.
“Make sure to tell him to forget,” I repeat, touching Hayley between her shoulders, playing with her hair.
“You will not remember any of this. Just get him and return here.” Hayley jerks her eyes away, and I scoop her up and hold her in my arms, keeping her safe and away from the security guard as he blinks his eyes and gets to his feet.
He vanishes without a word, proving that Hayley was successful.
I plant my lips to hers, kissing her with enough passion to send her thighs tightening around me. “You are so fucking impressive. I can’t get over how you keep surprising me. Control me next. Command me to do something. Right now. We have a couple of minutes.”
She laughs and shakes her head. “You’re so twisted. I don’t know if I can do it again. He just pissed me off so much. It was like something else was controlling me.”
“Don’t think I’m going to let you off so easily. When we get back to the Bella, I’m not letting you leave my room until you mind manipulate me into doing something. Anything you want. Hopefully...” I flick my tongue and dart my gaze between us, squeezing her ass as I silently show her what I want to do.
She bites her lip with a smile, the heat of her body rising even more with her closeness. All I can think about is running away with her and taking cover for a bit to do what I want and to give her what she begs for.
It’ll be so fucking satisfying. There’s nothing I love more than fucking shit up, putting damn bastards in their places, and then experiencing the pleasure my beautiful dhampir ignites within me.
“We need to spread out. I don’t want him to see us until we have him.” I carry Hayley with me and take cover in the shade, using the sun shield blanket to obscure us against the dark painted wall.
Cooper crosses the way, hiding under an old tree while Walcott and Govan remove the bodies as quickly as possible.
I curl and uncurl my fingers, tensing and relaxing my muscles as I watch the main entrance to the hotel.
“What if he doesn’t want to come? What if they’re watching on the cameras or something? I know that this can’t be as easy as it feels.” Hayley keeps her voice low, whispering the words in my ear.
“It’s never easy, but I always want to hope for the best. If anything, the whole coven will try to sneak up to investigate. They might send some other assholes out here.” I press my lips together, hiding them beneath my beard.
I count silently, imagining the security guard getting torn apart and thrown away before he can grab the health keeper. I expect having to run into the hotel to fuck shit up, risking getting trapped.
What I don’t expect is for someone to shove the health keeper out the front door and slam it closed behind him.
This is good. This is fucking awesome. It looks like the health keeper’s coven has already turned against him, choosing to protect themselves over one of their members.
That’s why these coven’s fall. They don’t know what true loyalty is.
Hayley tenses in my arms. “That’s him. That’s the fucking asshole who sedated me and violated me. That’s the fucking asshole that was going to artificially inseminate me.”
Something crackles in the air, and I hear one of the old speakers click on. “We don’t want any trouble. You may take Modesto and do as you see fit. The Esor had nothing to do with Alexander Aris.”
Modesto scrubs his hands over his face, snarling as he glances behind him. “After everything I’ve fucking done for you! I saved you. I had no choice! Alexander would’ve killed all of you had I not done what he had asked.”
Hayley trembles in my arms. Facing her attacker gets to her on a level I hoped wouldn’t open her up as if she’s been wounded all over again.
Anger swells through me, and I growl and step forward. “Don’t give him that kind of power over you, Hayley. You’re the one he’ll be afraid of. I’m right here. We will get your fucking justice.”
She audibly swallows and nods her head. “Let’s be fast. I just want to get out of here.”
“Whatever you want.” I whistle and call Cooper, Walcott, and Govan from the shadows to join us. We surround Modesto, not giving him a chance to escape.
He raises his hand in surrender. “We can work something out. I have information you can use against Aris. Against the leadership. Please, just give me a moment.”
I flick my gaze to Cooper, trying my best not to hesitate. But I know that he needs this. More than anything. He can’t give us any more answers than we already know. He’s not even powerful enough to have a coven to back him.
