William walked in with a pretty blonde tucked into his side She wore a short red dress and lipstick tothe warrior had said

"This is my friend" Williauy I was telling you about He’ll pay you whatever you want Just make sure you do whatever he wants"

Kane set the bottle on the ground, pretending he wasn’t about to vomit

"Of course" She bit her lip as she studied Kane Interest lit her dark eyes "It’ll beher under the chin "You have nothing to worry about He won’t bite--unless you ask hi Kane alone with the girl The stranger

His lungs constricted, nearly blocking his airways

A h-heeled foot to the other "You’re even eous than William promised" There was a bead of excite? He didn’t want to have a conversation with her He would begin to wonder what kind of life she’d led, what had brought her to this point, and he would feel sorry for her He didn’t want to feel sorry for her

Disaster huet this over with "Co into the spot beside him Her scent hit hi perfu like the Fae, who had sh she’d spent the day in the kitchen Like a wife

Maybe he shouldn’t do this

A gust of wind burst through the roo it into the woman’s chest

"Ow!" she cried

Kane cursed the day he’d stolen Pandora’s box

She rubbed her chest, saying, "What just happened?"

"Could have been an air vent" It was possible
