"Give us two Sprites," Dani replies, giving him a seductive look of her own. I remember what Danielle said, and I remain silent as she scans the bar as if she is looking for someone. "You all right, Kira?"
"I’m fine." Before I can speak any further and ask about this place, we’re interrupted by a young guy with dark hair, tan skin, and covered in tattoos. He stands between us, draping one arm around Dani’s shoulder and his other around my waist, causing me to flinch from the pain.
"Fuck!"
"I suggest you remove your filthy hands from us." Danielle stiffens at the man's touch and my suffering.
"I only want to show you two some fun, honey. Come with me upstairs." He tightens his grip, causing me more discomfort. I struggle to move out of his hold only for him to dig his fingers into my skin.
"I'm going to ask you nicely one more time to step the fuck off!” Danielle yells, glaring at him.
"Shut up you bitch!" He screams at Dani but in the process, to keep me from squirming, he fastens his arm around me and pulls me closer to his body. "You're in my house, and you play by my rules.”
He grabs Danielle by the arm when she snatches away from him.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is Demon's house, and I play by nobody's rules, you ass. Get your fucking hands off!" She shouts again, bringing everyone's attention to the argument.
Some of the bar patrons begin to laugh. As the man refuses to let go of me, seemingly being pushed the more the crowd laughs, my breathing becomes labored. Pain wracks my body when a booming voice is heard, and everyone becomes silent.
"What the fuck is going on out here!"
My attention turns to the voice that commands the attention of everyone in the bar, and my jaw drops. The man behind the sound filled with so much anger is freaking gorgeous. Drool-worthy gorgeous.
We lock eyes instantly as the man holds his arm securely around me and my breathing continues to become labored. The gorgeous man's eyes drift down my body to where the man's arm is locked around me then back up to my eyes. I grimace from the pain.
"Demon, these bitches don't want to play." He laughs, but when he licks his lips, I shut my eyes in disgust.
He brings my battered body closer to him. I keep struggling against his hold, although I'm having difficulty breathing. "Stop squirming you black bitch!"
"You better let her go you pig! Can't you see? You're hurting her,” Dani yells and spits in his face, causing him to let go of me.
I attempt to catch my breath by bending over and putting my hands on my knees, slowly breathing in and out, but the sound of a grunt grabs my attention. I lift my head, and my eyes widen at the guy named Demon. The young guy who assaulted us is pinned to the wall by his neck.
"Oh my god, Kira. Are you Okay?" Dani grabs my shoulders and looks over my body for any signs of injury. The concern is shown on her face.
I shake my head, holding my ribs as the pain courses through my torso when I attempt to stand up. "I need to sit and catch my breath. He was crushing my ribs."
"Don't you ever put your hands on them again! If you weren't my brother and I didn't need a vote, I would kill you, motherfucker!" I hear Demon yell. He lets the man go and the man bends over, gasping for air. "Take this piece of shit out of my sight now!"
A few of the men who walk over to the man are wearing vests that readDemons United. They proceed to escort the man to a room in the rear.
Demon turns his attention back to us after watching the guy being led out of the main bar room. "Upstairs now," he shouts, never looking away from me as I flinch at the tone of his voice.
Dani grabs my arm and tries to help me to the stairs. "Let's go, sis. Do you think you can make it up the stairs?"
"Yes," I mumble, hardly able to speak because of the pain radiating throughout my body and the angry guy that has ordered us up the stairs.
I decide not to ask her any questions and follow the man called Demon with the help of Danielle up the stairs.
Once out of sight of the onlookers, he embraces Dani when we make it to what I assume is his office. "Danielle, what the hell are you doing here? "
Who is this guy?
"Why aren't you at school?"
Dani helps me into his office and helps me sit down. "We’re in some trouble, bro."
Her brother?
