“You’re not my father, Mr. Repo.” She leaned away, her cheeks flushing red and her lips forming a bitter twist. “If you don’t want me, fine. Once I’m drunk enough, any one of these reprobates will do.” She picked up her drink again, took another gulp. “I am quite content where I am.”
I caged her in, one hand on the bar in front of her, the other on the back of her seat, still gripping her jacket and bag while I glared at the men watching us. I knew them all. I’d recruited many of them. They were loyal to me. But they’d also been taught to take what they wanted, when they wanted it. Judging by the restless shift in the mood, the sooner I removed her as a source of contention, the better.
Just get her out of here.
Leaning down to whisper in her ear once more, I growled, “You want to fuck? Fine. Come with me.”
She stiffened, like I’d shocked her, but in the next second she slipped off the stood. I stepped around her seat, placing a heavy arm over her shoulders and staring down Gears and Wolf as we strolled unhurriedly out of the bar, making a left toward the hall instead of a right toward the parking lot and cursing my bad luck with every tortuous step.
There was no away around it now. One way or the other, Diane Donner was going to be a headache tomorrow.
Fuck.
Merry Christmas to me.
