“You’re fucking dangerous” His voice was hoarse as he slowly started to give reeht globe of his ass “Why can’t I resist you?”

He sounded angry, but he didn’t stopbecause once again he wasn’t soft or easy and that was a whole lot of man to try and handle God, did I want to handle hihter and tilted h hands

His eyes were open all the way now and they were trying to melt me onto the bathroom floor with their intensity I saw his broad chest start to rise and fallue as I hollowed my cheeks and sucked him down as far as I could stand I felt theon to flex so hard it felt like stone under ain and it was all over in a hot rush of desire and some more bad words

We were both breathing heavily as I rocked back and then climbed to my feet We watched each other like combatants instead of almost-lovers, and I turned around without a word to clean the blood offabout thisthe trigger first, the feelings I had for Titus ht very well be the end of me

I pushed ot myself situated and looked at hi me as he zipped up his pants

“I don’t know, Titus, but if you can’t resistso hard In this place you never knohat pile of shit to that ood for even a second needs to be valued”

He shoved his hands through his hair and then reached down by his hip to twist the door open There was no hiding e had been in here doing It was all over him I was all over him and he was most definitely stamped all over me I loved it

“You shouldn’t be what ood, Reeve” There it was The harsh reality of the way things were between us Him on one side of the divide and me always on the other

“But I do, and you’re just going to have to learn how to deal with that” I swept past hi he wouldn’t see the way my knees wobbled I flipped uide us to the door We had definitely ht, and if Conner had eyes in the club, there was nothe e had just come out of the same bathroom all rumpled and sexed up Mission accoo had taken an equal pounding with Titus’s last harsh words

I was surprised and a little annoyed when he stopped in front of one of the stages where Nassir was standing with Chuck I saw both ive hts suddenly went down and an old, bluesy jazz song started to blast through the sound systeht suddenly hit it and a girl dressed in a way-sexified, old-tie She had the fedora She had the suspenders She had a gun stuck in her garter belt She even had a lit cigar clae in platform Mary Janes I tried not to bristle as all three of theabout to watch her as her white button-up blouse hit the floor, quickly followed by her tiny black skirt She had a great body and she was really working the crowd, but even with the blinding stage lights it looked like she was staring right at where Titus was standing

I huffed out a breath and turned otten dressed and she was now sporting a puffy eye but she still looked better than anyone had the right to She grinned at irl”

I snorted a response “Those shoes of yours are deadly”

“Why do you think I wear the out and I noticed she did have crazy pointy and tall heels on even though she was now dressed in jeans and a T-shirt She tilted her head to where the e I wanted to kick Titus “You’re gonna have to braith ht Bax, the cityhell, you’re even going to have to throith him if you want him”

I lifted an eyebrow as the irl was non to nothing but her G-sting and she wasn’t dancing so e She looked like she waslove to an invisible man

“I’ve been fighting every single day of ht” If anything orth the fight it would be any tis inevitably blew up around us

She gave me a real set people to think she was just a dumb stripper It made her look like an entirely different person She went frooddess to a norly beautiful

“Fighting is all any of us know inside and out It’s exhausting” Iout to pinch Titus in the are acrobatically shifted to her feet and slinked to the edge of the stage She spit the now stubby stogie out of her un she had in her leg band out of the garter She pointed it out into the crowd I thought it was a toy, maybe filled ater or those little plastic caps thatnoises

I rong

Before she pulled the trigger, I was hit by a truck Not really a truck but getting slaht sure felt like it Gunshots echoed through the club, as did screao off I heard Titus screa to where his gun rode on his hip I went to scra for the door trying to escape the asped when I saw the bright red bloo her chest

Onnot to think about how gross that was, until I got to her Her gray eyes ide open and I could hear that she was gasping for air A few o she had tried to kick ht in front of me I put o anywhere This place needs you” I meant the city, not the sleazy strip club, and I hoped she knew that “You get me, Keelyn” Her eyes drifted closed and I pushed harder on the wound
