Paul’s hand left my arm as he started forward, murder in his eyes.
My heart pounding, I pulled him back. There were only a few times that a demon could attack a mortal, and self-defense was at the top of the list. Daun could rip out Paul’s soul before Paul landed a single punch. “Come on, love,” I said, my voice a high-pitched squeak, “let’s just go.”
“Later, babes,” Daun said to me, doffing an imaginary cap before he launched himself into the thick of the dancers.
Paul took a step after him.
“Paul,” I said, trying to keep my desperation in check, “come on. You were right, this was a bad idea.”
He whirled to face me. “A bad idea? Holy shit, Jesse—some girl cuts in on us, so that gives you the green light to kiss some asshole?”
“I’m sorry,” I said, knowing it wasn’t close to good enough, but what else could I say?
“What is he, one of your regulars at Spice? Or back at Belles? You kiss him a lot there too?”
This was so not the time for Paul to go all boyfriendish on me. “Love, please, I’ve never seen him before.” Not in that form, anyway.
“Yeah, I could tell.”
“Please,” I said again, hating how easy it was for me to beg, “we can talk about this more, all night if you want. But please, let’s just leave now.”
Frustration and anger warred in his eyes, but he nodded curtly before leading me off the dance floor. Before we escaped, another guy reached out, grabbed my arm. I bit back a scream, then let out a ragged breath. Holy fuck in Heaven, my nerves were completely shot.
“It is you!” The kid was pimply faced and eager; if he really was twenty-one, I’d eat my boots. “I remember you from Belles! Jezebel, right?”
“Yeah,” I said, casting a helpless look at Paul, whose face started to purple.
“Man, I loved you,” the kid said, oblivious to the raging bull holding onto my hand. “I heard that place closed down. Where you dancing now?”
“She’s not,” Paul spat. “She just retired.”
