Don at screaood use

And not because he was taking a nice long piss

He was buried to the balls in that blonde froainst the sink Her black leather skirt was pushed up to her hips, her black thong shoved over, her black V-neck pulled wide and held that way by her breasts She had a precious little pink butterfly tattooed on her hip, and a heart on a chain around her throat, and both were getting banged around to the beat of his thrusting

It was fun, especially because, in spite of her tough slut clothes, he had a feeling she was out of her league with this kind of sex: no ie-proof, and she&039;d tried to get hiht before he came, he pulled out, spun her around, and forced her onto her knees He roared as he orgasht: This was exactly what he&039;d needed A sense of mastery, a reconnection hat had been norood

As soon as he was finished, he zipped up, not caring whether she spit or sed

"What abouther mouth

"What about you?"

"I&039;m sorry?"

Lash cocked an eyebrow as he checked his hair in the ain He&039;d done the whole military shear after his transition, but he&039;d liked his ponytail He had good hair

God, King&039;s dog collar looked hot on hiirl delass "You don&039;t honestly expect et off"

For a moment, she seemed confused, like the movie she&039;d rented at Blockbuster had had a different DVD inside the sleeve "Excuse me?"

"What didn&039;t you understand?"

Shock et it"

Yeah, evidently Debbie Does Dallas was showing on her screen, not Pretty Woman

He looked around the bathroom "You let me take you in here and push your skirt up and fuck you And you&039;re surprised I don&039;t care? Exactly what did you think was going to happen?"

The last of the excited, I&039; drained from her expression "You don&039;t have to be rude"

"Why is it bitches like you are always surprised?"

"Bitches?" Self-righteous anger distorted her face, taking her fro her so "You don&039;t know uy she&039;s never met before come in her mouth in a bathroom Please I&039;d have et paid in so other than spunk"

"You are such a bastard!"

"And you are boring rabbed his ars bad for you in a heartbeat Do you knoho my father is?"

"So you properly? "

Her free palm hit hihting definitely s punched out into his h her throat like it was a Twizzler fresh out of the bag Except someone pounded on the door and reminded him he was in public and she was human and cleanup was always a bitch

"You&039;re gonna be sorry," she spat at him

"Oh, yeah?" He leaned in and was surprised when she held her ground "You can&039;t touch irlie"

"Watch me"

"You don&039;t even knowyears to her age "I know plenty¡ª"

The pounding on the door started up again

Before she teed up for another slap and he couldn&039;t stop hi, Lash ducked out of the bathroo salvo a quick, "Pull your skirt dohy don&039;t you"

The guy who&039;d been knock-knock-knockin&039; on the other side took one look at him and stepped way back "Sorry,his eyes "You probably saved that bitch&039;s life"

The huhed "Stupid whores Can&039;t live with &039;em, can&039;t shoot &039;euy turned away, flashing a righteous eagle embossed on the back of his leather jacket

"Nice bird you got there," Lash said

"Thanks"

Lash went over to the bar and nodded at Mr D "Tio I&039;m done"

He took his wallet from his back pocket¡ªand froze The billfold wasn&039;t his It was his father&039;s He quickly slipped a fifty out, then buried the thing back where it had been

He and Mr D left the crowded, noisy club and when he stepped onto Trade Street&039;s sidewalk, he took a long, deep breath Alive He felt totally alive

On the way over to the Focus, Lash said, "Give ht-up killers"

Mr D handed the Nokia over and recited soave the slayer an address in a high-rent part of town, he could practically hear the bastard&039;s suspicion¡ªespecially as the lesser asked who the fuck was calling him on Mr D&039;s phone

They didn&039;t knoho he was His men didn&039;t knoho he was

Lash handed the fucking phone back to Mr D and barked for the Fore-lesser to give confirmation Man, he shouldn&039;t have been surprised at the doubting thing, but that shit was so going to change He was going to give his troops a few places to hit tonight to gain hi to have a co

They would follow him or meet their maker Period

After he and Mr D did the cell phone handoff three more times, Lash said, "Now take me to Twenty-one Fifteen Boone Lane"

"You want me to call more men in to hit it with us?"

"For our next house, yeah But this first one is personal "

His dear old cousin Qhuinn was about to eat his own ass for lunch

After fiveco suit after another, a whole wardrobe of I-don&039;t-want-to-do-this

And yet interviewing Layla for the position of First Mate felt especially wrong

Viciously wrong

As he waited for her in the library, he prayed to God she didn&039;t drop her robe like the others had

"Your grace?"

He looked over his shoulder The Chosen was standing in the open double doors of the roo to the floor in folds, her slender body held with regal grace

She bowed deeply "It is "

"Thank you I hope the sahtened, her eyes reen Like Cormia&039;s

Shit He needed a blunt "Would youyou the flame" Before he could tell her not to bother, she picked up a crystal lighter and ca a hand-rolled between his lips, he stopped her as she flipped the lid free Taking the heavyweight from her, he said, "Not to worry I can do it"

"Of course, your grace"

The flint rasped and the fla around the room "This reminds me of home," she murmured

"How so?"

"All of the books" She went across the way and touched some of the leather spines "I love books If I hadn&039;t been trained as an ehros, I would have wanted to be a sequestered scribe"

She seeht, and for some reason that made him anxious Which was nuts With the others, he&039;d felt like a lobster in the lobby of a seafood restaurant With her, they were just two people talking

"May I ask you so?" he said as he exhaled

"Of course"

"Are you here freely?"

"Yes"

Her ansas so level, it see wanted to serve the Primale I have been steadfast always in this desire"

She seeured out what it was "You don&039;t think I&039; to choose you, do you"

"No"

"And why is that?"

Now the e up, her fingers entwining "I was brought here to see Master John Matthew through his transition I did so, but he denied me"

"How?"

"After he&039;d been through the change, I washed him, but he denied me I have been trained to serve sexually and was prepared to do so, and he denied me"

Whoa Okay TMI "And you think that means I won&039;t choose you?"

"The Directrix insisted that I coive you leave over all Chosen Neither she nor I expect you to elevate me to First Mate"

"Did John Matthew say why he didn&039;t?" Because es

"I left when I was asked to That is all" Her eyes flipped up to Phury&039;s "Verily, the Master John Matthew is a male of worth It is not in his nature to detail the faults of another"

"I&039;m sure it wasn&039;t because of¡ª"

"Please May we depart frorace?"

Phury exhaled a stream of coffee-scented smoke "Fritz said you were up in Cor there?"

There was a long pause "That would be between sisters Of course, I would tell you should you order me to do so"

He couldn&039;t help but approve of the quiet reserve in her voice

"No, that&039;s okay" He was teht, but he knew the answer to that one She wasn&039;t Any o?" Layla asked "I know the Directrix has two of reet you"

Just like the other tho&039;d been to see hiht before Excited Ready to please Honored to ain and inhaled long and slow "You don&039;t seem too thrilled with this"

"Withto see you? Of course I¡ª"

"No, with er to be with aand I want to serve as e and Vishous do not require all my services, and it is a burden to be unused" Her eyes went to the books "Indeed, I feel as though I aiven the words to the story of ely unread, as it were"

God, he so knehat that was like He felt as though he had been waiting forever for things to settle down, for the drama to end, for hi How ironic It sounded as if Layla was feeling the way she was because nothing was happening in her life He felt unread because too

Either way, the end result was the saetting through the day

Well, cry me a river, mate, the wizard drawled

Phury went over to an ashtray and stabbed out the blunt "Tell the Directrix she doesn&039;t need to send anyone else toyour pardon?"

"I choose you"

Qhuinn pulled the black Mercedes up in front of Blay&039;s house and put the thing in park They&039;d waited for hours at ZeroSuain When they kept hearing nothing back, John had pulled up stakes and here they were

"You want ine

John looked over If I say yes, would you do it?

"No"

Then by all ot out of the driver&039;s seat "Ruining my fun"

John shut his door and shook his head I&039;lad you&039;re so manipulate-able

"That&039;s not a word"

Since when have you been in bed with Daniel Webster? Hello? "Gigunda"?

Qhuinn glanced to the house He could just hear Blay&039;s voice filling in, That would be Merriam-Webster "Whatever "
