shoved him away and ran his hand over his neck. “Trust me asshole, I know exactly where I am. And if you knew what was good for you, you’d remember how powerful I can be too.”
Leo tried charging him again but I saw it coming and jumped in between them. “Stop it you two!” I yelled. “What the hell is wrong with you?”
Leo stepped back and smoothed out his shirt. “Please forgive me for losing my temper, love.” He walked back over to his desk and sat down. “If you want to play detective out there, don’t let me stop you. I’m granting you special immunity to the house rules.” He chuckled and gave me another sexy grin before adding, “I have a feeling I’m going to enjoy this.” Seriously, was the air conditioner broken in here or something?!?
Chapter 7
********************
A very tense ten seconds later, Vance and I walked out of the office back into the red hallway. We had to dodge a woman who was down on her knees in the middle of the floor. She was too busy giving some guy a very enthusiastic blow job to notice us trying to pass. Jesus, if this was going on in the hall, what the hell was out in the main room?
I looked away, shocked at the display in front of me. Vance put his arm around me and whispered in my ear, “It’s okay Karli. I’m not going to let anything happen to you. Look, I know I was a dick in there and I’m sorry. Leo just really has a way of getting to me.”
“Why?” I asked.
He nodded towards the couple we just passed. “This really isn’t the place to talk about it. Can we please just look around real quick so we can get out of here?”
I sighed. “Yeah, I guess. But I need to hit the bar first.”
He nodded and led me to a large open room with a long, black polished bar off to the left. The bartender who was wearing pasties, a black lace thong with matching garter belt, and fishnets came to greet us. Geez, and I thought my uniform was slutty! “Hi there.” She purred. “My name is Sonia. What can I get for you fine specimens?” Sonia was openly appreciating Vance’s bare chest. Stupid bitch.
“I’ll have a Guinness.” Vance replied. “Karli?”
I considered the series of loud grunts and slapping noises behind me. “I’ll have a shot of Gray Goose. Make that a double.”
“Coming right up.” The bartender said with a wink.
Vance raised his eyebrows at me. “Two shots, huh? You’re obviously not looking to pace yourself, are you?” I wasn’t going to dignify that with a response so I just glared at him instead.
When Sonia brought my drink, I downed it in one gulp and motioned for another. She refilled it right away and I guzzled that one down too. I turned around to survey the area. Okay, maybe just one more drink will do the job. I asked for a third and knocked it back faster than the first two. I slammed the empty glass down on the bar and took a deep breath. I really needed to get myself together here or I was going to blow our cover. Think Karli! What would Sydney Bristow do?
I looked over at Vance and he was doing that annoying raised eyebrow thing again. “You ready to do this?” He asked. I nodded as he led me towards the main floor. We found an open table and sat down.
Holy hell there was no way I could have prepared myself for this. Well, maybe, if I had watched a shit load of hard core porn beforehand. Directly in front of us were three raised platforms with a strobe light flashing overhead as Rihanna’s song, S & M was appropriately blaring through the speakers. The stage to the right had a woman bent over at the waist with her wrists bound to her ankles and a red ball gag in her mouth. A man was fucking her from behind while he was pulling on her long auburn hair like he was holding a set of reins. He grabbed a paddle from a table and started smacking her on the ass really hard . That did not look comfortable or pleasant by any
