“So am I.” It doesn’t help that I basically pant out the words.

But he doesn’t kiss me or touch me. Knight straightens, and the charmer—I think it might be part of his actual DNA—is still there, but it’s dialed down.

“Being mad won’t help. He’s a hard bastard, but he’ll?—”

“Don’t you say he’ll take care of me. I don’t need that. I don’t deserve to be locked up,” I say.

A smile drifts over his mouth. “Depends on how you’re locked up, and by whom.”

His meaning hits me and my face burns like fire.

“I’m trying to get you out, but we need to make sure you’re safe once you’re gone, Liz. Stay calm, and be a real good girl for Daddy—for me, I mean.” His eyes glitter as he shrugs.

He’s so not sorry.

“Be good for all of us and things will hopefully pan out.” Then he sighs and steps back. “I’ll take you to Dante.”

I follow him across the bar to where Dante’s sprawled in a chair, talking to the woman. She’s leaning forward, ass out, fantastic boobs basically in his face and falling out of her top.

It’s a position that’s completely unnecessary as he talks to her. Honestly, she’s the worst.

All he does is nod to her before the girl flashes me a glare and flounces away.

Then Dante motions to the spot she vacated.

I go and stand in front of him, the lights aimed at the stage hitting me. I can see him clearly, but I’m lit up. And I hate and lust after him even more.

“You have five minutes,” he says. “So make it fucking count.”

Chapter

Dante

Lizette doesn’t answer immediately.

“Cat got your tongue?”

Her eyes narrow, but there’s misery, too, and anger. “No, I’m trying not to rip into you.”

Man, this little omega has balls.

“If you think you can, go right ahead, but it’s not going to get you very far.”

She looks past me, over at Knight, who, if he’s smart, has taken himself to the bar. Better yet, out of the fucking club room.

Actually, scratch that. It’s better if he’s here. His presence just might keep me from jumping her bones.

The bartender who’s in early stocktaking certainly won’t help. He’s one of our pack members. He knows his place.

So does Knight, unfortunately, and his place is on the same level as me.

But yeah, better if he’s in the vicinity.

I flick my gaze up at her. “Your boyfriend over there isn’t coming to your rescue this time.”

“He’s not my boyfriend.”
