As the defendant&039;s bark of pain trailed off to a whi-silver envelope opener The thing was shaped like a sword, and he tested the point with his forefinger, quickly licking off the dot of blood it left behind
"When you applied for work here," he said, "you gave an address of Thirteen-eleven Twenty-third Street Which is Chrissy&039;s addy, too You arrive and leave at the end of the night together" As the guy popped open his piehole, Rehv held his hand up "Yes, I&039; on your hand¡ª Wait, why are you trying to put your ar him plant that palm of his on my real estate over here?"
As Rehv tapped the tip of the opener on his desk, TrezWith absolutely no effort at all, he flattened the bastard&039;s hand out in front of Rehv and held it in place
Rehv leaned forward and traced a Caldwell High School class ring with the opener "Yeah, see, she&039;s got a funny mark on her cheek When I first saw it, I wondered what it was It&039;s this ring, isn&039;t it? You backhanded her, didn&039;t you Caught her in her face with this"
As the guy sputtered like a bass boat, Rehv ran another little circle around the blue stone of the ring, then took the razor-sharp point and stroked the ers one by one, from the bony knuckles on the hand to the flat nail beds at the ends
The two biggest knuckles were bruised, the pale skin purple and swollen
"Looks like you didn&039;t just backhand her," Rehv ers with the opener
"She asked for¡ª"
Rehv&039;s fist pounded into his desk so hard, his multiline office phone did a ju free of the cradle
"Don&039;t you dare finish that sentence" Rehv fought not to bare his fangs as they punched out into his ht now"
The ass-ent inanimate as a subtle beep-beep-beep replaced the phone&039;s dial tone iAm, cool as always, calmly reached forward and replaced the receiver
As a bead of sweat dripped off the human&039;s nose and landed on the back of his hand, Rehv sht Where e before you alot yourself castrated? Oh, yeah Hands ere talking about hands Funny, I don&039;t knoe would do without two I mean, you couldn&039;t drive a stick-shift car, for example And you have a stick, don&039;t you? Yeah, I&039;ve seen that tripped-out Acura you tool around in Nice car"
Rehv laid his own hand down on the glossy wood, right next to the guy&039;s, and as he made comparisons, he pointed to the salient distinctions with the envelope opener
"My hand&039;s bigger than yours in length and width Fingers are longer My veins stand out more You have a tattoo of what is that at the base of your thuth Yeah, hter Da You look like death without soht of the past, of his mother and her collections of bruises It had taken hiht by her
"You know the biggest diff between you and me?" he said "Seea woman"
In a quick move, he drew the envelope opener up and slashed it down so hard the tip didn&039;t just go through flesh; it penetrated the teak of the desk
The hand he stabbed was his own
As the hu
"Don&039;t you dare pass out, you fucking lightweight," Rehv spat as the asshole&039;s eyes started to roll "You&039;re going to watch this carefully so you ree"
Rehv yanked the opener free of the desk by jacking up his palht the scabbard and popped the blade out Putting his hand up where the ri the puncture into a littleWhen he was finished, he withdrew the blade and put it carefully beside the phone
As blood dripped down the inside of his sleeve and pooled at his elbow, he looked at theyou Everywhere All the ti down in the shower&039; and I&039; to mark you up like a calendar, feel me?"
The
Rehv cursed He should have known so pansy-ass bully bastard
And good thing this fool with the partially digested pasta dripping onto his piss-laden Doc Martens didn&039;t knohat Rehv was really capable of This human, like all the other humans in the club, had no idea the boss of ZeroSum was not just a vampire, but a symphath Motherfucker would have shit himself, and what a mess that would have been It was already wet-obvious he wasn&039;t sporting Depends
"Your car is now mine," Rehv said as he reached over to the phone and dialed housekeeping "Consider it repayment plus interest and penalties on the cash you&039;ve been ski fro H in my private zip code PS, next time you try to crop off someone else&039;s turf? Don&039;tjacket Makes it too easy to figure out who the rogue dealer was Oh, and like I said, that lady of mine had better not shoith sofor a visit Now, get the fuck out of ain"
The guy was so shell-shocked, he didn&039;t argue as he was frog-marched toward the door
Rehv slaet everyone&039;s attention
The Moors halted and so did the meat The human was the only one who looked over his shoulder, and there was absolute terror in his eyes
"One Last Thing" Rehv s his sharp canines to hi to assume its because you forced her to, and I will come after you for my pecuniary losses" Rehv leaned forward "And bear in mind, I don&039;t need thepeople Next ti my piece out of your hide, not your wallet or what&039;s parked in your driveway Keys? Trez?"
The Moor crauy&039;s Z Brands and tossed over a key chain
"Don&039;t worry about getting ht it "Where your Ass-cura is ending up, we don&039;t need paperwork to transfer ownership Bye for now"
As the door shut behind the dra off of it read, SUNY NEW PALTZ
"What?" he said without looking up
Xhex&039;s voice was low, seeping out from the dark corner of the office, where she alatched fun and gao down "If he does it one more time, I want to take care of it"
Rehv fisted the keys and leaned back in his chair Even if he said no, if Chrissy got cracked again his chief of security would probably roll out a beat-down anyway Xhex was not like his other employees Xhex wasn&039;t like anybody
Well, that wasn&039;t entirely true She was like him Half symphath
Or half sociopath, as was the case
"You watch the girl," he said to her "If that sonofabitch gets busy with his class ring again, we&039;ll do a coin toss for who gets to fuck hiirls" Xhex walked over to the door,with smooth power She was built like a male, tall and muscular, but she wasn&039;t coarse In spite of her Annie Lennox haircut and her tight body, she wasn&039;t some bulky she-male bitchsicle in her standard uniform of black muscle shirt and black leathers No, Xhex was lethal in the elegant way of a blade: quick, decisive, sleek
And like all daggers she loved drawing blood
"It&039;s the first Tuesday of the month," she said as she put her hand on the door
As if he didn&039;t know "I&039; in a half hour"
The door opened and closed, the sound of the club on the other side flaring, then getting cut off
Rehv lifted his pal, and the hole would be closed in another twentywould show of the penetration
He thought of theof your body was an odd kind of paralysis Although you ht of the clothes on your back or whether your shoes were too tight or if the ground beneath your feet was uneven or slippery
He missed his body, but either he took the dopaoed with his evil side And that was one MMA fight he wasn&039;t sure he could win
Rehv palmed his cane and carefully eased himself up out of his chair As a result of his nuravity wasn&039;t his friend, so the trip over to the panel on the wall took longer than it should have When he got over to it, he placed his palm on a raised square and a door-sized panel slid back, all Star Trek and shit
The black bedroom-and-bath suite that was revealed was one of his three crash pads, and for some reason it had the best shower Probably because with only a couple hundred square feet, the whole place could go tropical just by running the da
And when you were cold all the ti off his clothes and starting the water, he did a quick shave while he waited for the spray to get nuclear hot While he ran the razor down his cheeks, theback at him was the same as always Croppedcock lying loose between his legs
He thought about where he had to go tonight and his vision changed, a red haze gradually replacing all the colors of his sight He wasn&039;t surprised Violence had a way of coaxing his evil nature free, like food laid out to the starved, and he&039;d had only a sweet lick of the plate back in his office just now
Under normal circumstances, it would be time for more dopaes at bay, swapping them for hypothermia and impotence and numbness The side effects sucked, but you had to do what you had to do, and lies required upkeep
As well as performance
His black his cock, like he could protect it froht, he went over and tested the water Even though stea creah It never was
He rubbed his eyes with his free hand The red in his vision persisted, but it was a good thing Better to meet his blackmailer on like terms Evil to evil Symphath to symphath
Rehv stepped under the spray, the blood that he&039;d spilled washing away As he soaped up his skin, he felt dirty already, totally unclean The feeling was just going to be worse by the time dawn cairls steamed up their locker room at the end of their shifts Whores loved hot water Soap and hot water Soh the night
