underneath, and high-heeled ankle boots. Black eye shadow outlined her smoldering blue eyes and a studded black leather collar accented her petite neck.
Oh, she’s hot.
Her edgy, sexy look immediately caught every set of eyes in the place, and she rocked her hips like a dangerous vixen on the prowl to the sound of Razed in Black’s “Oh My Goth!” blaring overhead.
She flashed a half-grin to patrons both left and right of her as she continued her trajectory directly toward my table.
Honestly, I felt the sexual tension quadruple in the room, affecting me in exactly the same way. Even the female bartender appeared mesmerized by her.
She stopped directly before my table and struck an alluring pose. “Oh-my-Goth, imagine seeing you here, kiddo,” she squeaked.
My mouth opened but words completely escaped me.
She beamed at me with a feisty-look as she practically poured herself into an empty chair to my right.
“Oh, how I love your expression right now,” she said with a tone of satisfaction.
I had to force myself to take a breath before speaking.
“You. Look. Amazing.”
Good Lord, if I wasn’t already spoken for…
She giggled playfully as she regarded me.
“Just so you know, I could eat you up right now, tiger,” she purred.
Our eyes locked. A sly smile slowly dawned upon her features as I felt a spark of desire flare from deep inside me.
Dangerous territory…
Abruptly, she broke from our stare contest, and I thought that I glimpsed her quickly frowning as she looked away from me.
She made an overly-lengthy visual inspection of our side of the club before looking back at me with a decidedly more playful expression.
“You sure can pick the joints, can’t you?”
In near record time, the bartender made a personal appearance at our table to retrieve Paige’s order.
“Absolut and cran, please,” she ordered. “And another beer for my boy.”
When the bartender departed, Paige winked at me and said, “All the good Goths are drinking vodka and cran nowadays.”
“How do you know so much about---”
“What, Goth? Eh, I lived in southern California for years; it’s like second nature to me,” she said off-handedly, while flashing a flirtatious look at two black-clad young men seated a table away from us.
“The real question is what you’re doing here,” she said.
“Kat and I had a bit of---”
“Yeah-yeah, I heard; the drag-down cat fight with your Dom,” she interrupted.
My mouth dropped open.
Kat told her?
She frowned. “What’s wrong?”
“I can’t believe that Kat told you,” I said.
“Told me what?” she asked. “That you had a big fight?”
I paused. “What exactly do you know about that?”
She appeared puzzled. “Not as much as I thought, apparently. But maybe you can fill me in now that I’m here.”
Yeah, not gonna’ happen.
She snapped her fingers repeatedly. “C’mon, dish. I want all the gory details.”
I slowly let out a deep breath that I’d been holding.
She frowned at me. “Hey, is there something important I should know here?”
“Nah, no big deal,” I said.
Her eyes narrowed suspiciously. “O-kay, then. Back to my earlier question. Why did you end up here ?”
I shrugged. “First place I came to.”
She gave me a shrewd look. “Well, aren’t you just Captain Adventure today.”
“You don’t know the half of it,” I muttered under my breath.
The bartender returned and our drinks were smoothly placed before us.
“Thanks,” Paige and I both said simultaneously.
We locked eyes and Paige grinned brightly.
“She’s on my tab,” I said before the bartender walked away.
“Why, thank you, kind sir,” Paige said.
We sipped our drinks in silence as she swayed to the industrial music playing.
“How did you track me here?” I asked.
She shrugged. “Red did all the work. She sounded pretty worried about you, in fact.”
Yeah, I bet.
I offered a sour expression in silent response.
“Oh, that look says it all,”
Oh, she’s hot.
