Seeing the dancer shake his head warningly as he stood between her and the door, Envy glanced back at the monitor surprised to see it was actually Jason who grabbed Trevor in an arm lock while Chad placed handcuffs on him.
Feeling a little more than angry with herself for being so childish, she started for the door to tell Chad to let Trevor go. Again, the hand gripped her arm. She glared down at it refusing to meet his eyes, when it was obviously her fault for starting this. The guilt only added to her anger and renewed her courage.
After seeing me just taser a guy, do you really think thats a good idea? She jerked her eyes up to his and tried not to lose her breath from the impact. Now that she had a closer look, his eyes were even more amazing than theyd been behind the bars of the cage.
Whoever those guys are, you might want to let them get him out of the club before you go back to dance. Devon warned again, watching the flame shoot into her eyes. He could almost see her fur bristling with the need to go rescue the guy she had just wounded not that he had any intention of letting her. Whats your name?
Why? Envy pulled her arm out of his grasp. So you can have the owners ban me from the club?
Not likely, Devon growled darkly at the thought. But you might want to keep that taser in your pocket for the rest of the night. He watched her glance back at the monitor to see that her victim was gone.
Damn it, Envy sighed mentally, as she leaned back against the door feeling the vibration of the music through the wood. She bit her bottom lip knowing shed gone too far. She remembered the other reason shed come to Moon Dance tonight and wondered if it was a good time to ask for a job. Why not bite the bullet? She mentally shrugged. Do you know if they're hiring here?
Devon couldnt help the slow smile that spread across his lips. What hed give to get her in that cage with him for a little while so he could try to tame the fire within her. Do you dance? he asked hopefully.
Envys eyes widened as she remembered watching him in the cage and her thighs went up in flames but sadly, so did her cheeks. No, she whispered, a little too huskily, No dancing. I tend bar at some of the other clubs in the area and was going to put in an application while I was here.
Pity, Devon smirked, as he stepped forward and opened a drawer from the desk. He pulled out the application and handed it to her. She still hadnt told him her name, but if he had her fill out the app, then hed have all the information he needed. He also wanted to make sure she hadnt worked for Night Light.
He was getting tired of them sending people over here snooping. It was Quinn that had ended the friendship between the cougars and jaguars, so the cougars could just leave them the hell alone, as far as he was concerned.
Someone at Night Light had sent the last person theyd hired, and now that shed been murdered, the cougars were looking toward Moon Dance for answers and so were the cops. Just his luck, the only night shed worked here, she had asked to be put in the cage with him.
Devon rolled the chair out from under the desk knowing the fastest way to make her stay longer was to give her what she wanted. You can fill it out now. Maybe youll have another job by the end of the night.
Envy sat down but looked back up at the monitor with a frown. Do you think the owner saw me taser Trevor? she bit her bottom lip, picturing in her mind how it must have looked. I really wish I hadnt done that.
Devon leaned over the back of her chair as if looking into the monitor with her. Putting his lips close to the shell of her ear he asked, If the owner did see and asked you about it, what would you say? He inhaled slowly, as her scent wrapped around him, heating his blood.
Envy started to turn her head to look up at him but stopped. The sensations he was causing with his nearness had spread out across her shoulder and up the side of her neck. I was just being mean, she breathed, feeling heat pooling again in her midsection. This guy was dangerous to her senses. She didnt know whether to turn around and lick him or run for cover.
The corner of Devons lip hinted at a smile but he didnt move from his position, So, you go around tasering guys all the time for no good reason? He could smell her arousal spike and it was making his pants uncomfortably tight.
No, Envy was glad for the distraction when she grabbed an ink pen from the little holder in front of her and started filling out the app. Only the ones that really deserve it, she answered, not wanting to talk about it.
Devon stood to his full height and fought the urge to pull her out of the chair and sit her on the desk facing him. As it was, he was already rubbing her silky hair between his fingers where it had spilled over the back of the chair.
He stayed silent while she filled out the application and he read it over her shoulder taking in every word. Envy Sexton, and the cougar and vampire clubs were thankfully missing from the extended list of clubs where she worked. He knew with a couple of quick phone calls he could free up most of her time by telling the other clubs to leave her off the schedule. He didnt feel like sharing this little wildcat.
Envy finished the app and started to stand up but Devon placed his hand on her shoulder to keep her there. He quickly took the paper from her and started for the door.
Stay here. Ill be back in a few minutes with an answer, Devon reached for the doorknob but paused when she spoke.
Whats your name? Envy asked, wondering if she shouldnt just give the paper to the owner herself. Maybe she could even get the interview out of the way.
Devon Santos, he answered, then disappeared out the door before she could stop him.
Hed known Nick was waiting right outside the door because he could smell him. Handing the paper to Nick, Devon informed him, We have a new bartender. He waited as Nick looked the paper over knowing his brother was looking for the same things hed already checked.
Nick had run off a couple of vampire groupies and one vampire who'd slipped in and it had ruined his mood for the night. He hated vampires and any human that was stupid enough to hang out with them. Not seeing any indication that this girl was associated with them and smelling his brothers arousal the girl had caused, Nick decided to let Devon handle his own affairs.
He finally handed the application back, Tell her to leave the taser at home. Nick eyed his brother for a moment before adding, Kat said the guy she tasered was her boyfriend and the guy who hauled him off in handcuffs was her brother.
That boyfriend of hers had a gun. I could smell it. Devon shrugged, even as his eyes narrowed, Maybe he wasnt so good of a boyfriend.
You might want to be careful around that one. Nick shook his head, as even more interest flared within his brother's eyes. If you want her, then youre in charge of controlling her while shes here. Nick gritted his teeth when he caught a whiff of vampire. Without another word, he took off back up the stairs.
Envy glanced around nervously and saw an elevator she hadnt noticed before. She raised a delicate eyebrow seeing it had a keypad instead of a simple button. She tapped the pen on the desk wondering how long she should wait. She still needed to find out if Chad really arrested Trevor or just made him leave the club.
She glanced around the desk to try to get her mind off it for a moment. She was a born investigator just like her brother, though Chad tried to hide that fact. Truth was, Chad would make a great detective. He told everyone he was just a beat cop but that wasnt anywhere near true. He was the leader of the SWAT team.
