From the crisp lines of his tuxedo, I can only assume he might have followed me from the party, and panic is choking me as reality kicks in. He steps in instantly, nudging me deeper into the restroom.

“Hey, don’t even think about it,” I say, alarmed, my voice high-pitched. “Get out of here now.”

But he’s shutting the door behind him, locking it with a final click.

Terror flares over me, and my mind’s racing with a way out, with something I can use as a weapon.

A smirk tugs at his thin mouth, his leer raking over me, and my skin crawls.

“Everyone’s talking about the girl who captured Hawk Kline,” he drawls, the timbre of his voice sending shivers down my spine. “So, I thought I’d do a solid for the girls and find out for myself why. Shall we?”

“Leave me alone, or you’ll be sorry.”

“What? You’ll go cry to Hawk? Good luck with that. since he doesn’t even know I exist. I’m just one of many people he ignores. Now, let’s get this started.” He reaches down and grabs his cock over his pants.

Bile rises in my throat, and I’m going to be sick. I retreat and feel the icy touch of the ceramic tiles against my back as I hit the wall. Nearby are the partitions of the toilet stalls, and desperation has me swiftly throwing myself toward one to lock myself inside, to buy myself time until I work out how the hell I’m going to escape.

But before I can get inside the stall, his thick hand snatches my wrist and yanks me backward with a force that sends a jolt of pain up my arm. I’m stumbling around but trip and fall to my knees.

“Ah, that’s good. Stay down there.”

Another wave of terror washes over me as I scurry away and start screaming at the top of my lungs.

An explosive sound comes from the door, which suddenly bursts open, coming right off its hinges. The heavy thing slams right into the fucker groping his cock seconds earlier, shoving him with a tremendous crash to the floor. I’m scrambling madly out of the way at the same moment.

I spin around, getting to my feet as he’s pinned down beneath the door. Gasping for air and trembling, my brain barely registers the silhouette of the enraged Hawk, eyes blazing and wild with fury in the doorway.

“Out. Now!” he commands in a growly voice.

I don’t need to be told twice, and I’m racing out of there, my pulse thundering in my ears.

As I escape into the hallway, as the harrowing sounds of flesh meeting flesh, of pained cries and grunts, intensify.

I’m trying not to break down and freak out at what just happened.

I pause by the wall, shuddering and hugging myself to stop from shaking so hard. Unable to think or move, I stand there, listening to the punishment Hawk’s delivering until it falls quiet.

Silence.

Taking a deep breath, I push off the wall and turn toward the bathroom at the end of the hallway, which is easily twenty feet away. I don’t know what to expect from Hawk.

Minutes later, he emerges from the room, his white shirt somehow unblemished, wiping his clean hands on a paper towel. His gaze is on mine as he tosses it into the trash and is at my side in seconds.

“I’ve got you, Sapphire. Hold on to me.” His hands are running down my arm, then across my sides as if searching for an injury. “Did he hurt you?”

I’m shaking my head, grasping on to him. He’s my anchor, shivers coating me.

“The guy didn’t get a chance to, but he scared the hell out of me.”

He’s cupping my cheek, leaning in close. “I shouldn’t have let you go alone. Fuck, I should have known better. These guests are animals and will rip anyone new apart.”

“You’re not wrong there. They’re assholes, and the things they were saying about me are horrible.”

He’s stroking my jawline, staring so intently into my eyes, that I feel like the entire world has fallen away.

“Ignore them,” he coos. “We got the effect we wanted, and you were incredible.”

“So, does that mean we can leave?” Hope clings to my words.
