I kissed her full on the lips. I swear, I would never get tired of how good she tasted.
“You can do this,” I said. “I know you can.”
Maddy took a deep breath and descended the steps. How any man could resist gazing at her and not lose his mind, I didn’t know. I watched that sexy ass as it descended the steps into the lion’s den.
I watched as Maddy headed down the stairs, bracing the wall with one hand. The creatures heard her coming and turned to watch her approach.
Klang licked his lips on seeing her. My fists clenched. I swear to the Creator, if they so much as put a hand on her…
Their ugly sneers curled upward into warm smiles as she hit the first floor.
“How’s the young Titan doing?” Trang said.
“Better, thank you,” Maddy said.
“Is he awake yet?” Klang said.
“No, not yet,” Maddy said. “He mumbles in his sleep but hasn’t opened his eyes.”
“Don’t worry, lass,” Trang said. “I’m sure he’ll come around soon enough.”
“I hope so,” Maddy said. “He’s pretty tough but he took a big blow. I’m not sure many people can recover from that. Not even a Titan.”
“He’ll come around,” Klang said, leering at her. “If I had someone like you to come back to, you can bet I’d do everything I had to to get back to her.”
Maddy turned to Klang and smiled politely. Trang scowled at her “brother.”
My left nut they’re siblings. A girl didn’t get jealous like that when her brother showed an interest in a girl.
“I thought I might get some fresh air,” Maddy said.
“I’m not sure that’s a good idea,” Trang said. “Iron Hoof is still out there. He could attack at any moment.”
Not if you have anything to say about it.
Claiming the kill was all these creatures ever cared about. Another notch to add to their huge collection. The more kills they got, the more money they earned, the more famous they became.
And I knew without a shadow of a doubt they enjoyed what they did.
“I need to check on the arjath anyway,” Maddy said.
I kept a close eye on the creatures as they eyed Maddy warily. They didn’t want her to go outside, not when they had her in their sights and could kill her any time they wanted.
Just looking at these two made me feel sick to my stomach. They weren’t the type to tease an audience. They were the type to kill and murder and maim because they enjoyed it. If they didn’t kill the first chance they got it was because they’d been ordered to prolong the inevitable from their bosses.
Their bosses were the head honchos of Lovers’ Escape. There was a cloaked room somewhere out there where they controlled the show and issued their orders. Their commands might as well have come from God.
“I’ll come out with you,” Trang said. “At least if there’s two of us, it’s less likely he’ll get both of us.”
Maddy smiled but it was nervous. She didn’t look my way as she didn’t want to give away my position, but she was nervous as she crossed the threshold and stepped outside.
Her expression was as plain as day: Now what do I do?
She was going outside for a nice stroll in the moonlight with a killer. But there was only one of them. It could have been worse. They both could have gone with her.
“Damn it! Hurry up!” Klang said, bolting to his feet and speaking to no one I could see. He dug the communicator out of his pocket and pressed it his face. “Just how long do you want us to wait? They’re right here! We could have done them in hours ago! Ratings? Ratings? Who cares about viewer ratings? What about my ratings? What about our kill ratings? I swear, if the horned creep takes these kills from under our noses again…”
He stood in the middle of the room and tapped his foot in agitation. He sighed and shook his head.
