  Bish made a noise in the back of his throat, pulling my attention to him. Ah, the Keeper of Death, with his red burnished skin and golden brown eyes that spoke of sunkissed days in the Sahara Desert. He cut his gaze at Váli as he swiped a big hand down the man’s chest.

  Váli just gave Bish a droll stare but didn’t try to remove his hand.

  “Yes, Bish?” A hint of an accent came out as Váli looked between the two Keepers holding him hostage. “Cipher?”

  “Oh, it looked like you were having so much fun with my old friend here. I had to join you.” Cipher roped an arm around Váli’s neck. He’d been in Sinner’s every night, but outside of the first time, he hadn’t actually approached me.

  Narrowing my eyes, I refused to give him a rise. Fucker.

  “I would actually prefer you didn’t. You and Bish were having your own fun over there. In the corner.” Váli jerked his head toward their end of the bar. “So why don’t you go back. Over there.” Now he removed Bish’s hand—the one still caressing his delectable chest, then stepped away from Cipher.

  “We were having fun, but I feel a little Zhan coming over me.” Bish shrugged and sent another cold smile my way as he placed one hand on Cipher, one of Váli, and the three of them disappeared.

  Huh.

  A little Zhan coming over him.

  Asshole.

  They kidnapped Váli to what? Try and seduce him on the beach? Maybe introduce him to Bish’s dogs. I snorted. If they thought they were going to get him in bed, I wished them much good luck with that. Váli didn’t go for dick. Not even sinful, delicious dick like Cipher.

  Fuck.

  I shoved the thought of him out of my head. If they wanted to play this game with me, fine. Didn’t mean I had to give chase. I drained my drink and cast a look to where Sunny was currently all boneless in the chair with Hattie curled in his lap. The stench of sex and happiness hung like a cloying perfume and seeped out into the rest of the bar. More than one patron was getting busy.

  The human couple at the bar were already heading for one of the bathrooms for a quick and dirty, semi-public fuck. Keepers weren’t altogether unaffected either, Kindle stood trapped in the doorway for a moment, her eyes wide and her face flushed. We locked gazes and I swore I could almost hear her little ‘eep’ before she blinked out.

  Quetta let out a laugh behind me and I glanced over my shoulder to find her wiping down a glass with her towel and shaking her head. “Clueless idiots.”

  Sure. Why not? I shrugged. “I think I’ll call it a night.”

  “Probably a good plan,” Quetta began, then hesitated. Her brows gathered together to form a firm crinkle between them. “You don’t usually take advice.”

  True.

  “You don’t usually offer it.”

  Also true.

  At least, she didn’t offer it to me.

  “Agreed. It gives me hives,” Quetta admitted. “So I’ll do this once and we’re never speaking of it again.”

  Turning fully, I rested my arms on the bar. “All right. Hit me.”

  The other Keeper grunted then narrowed the distance between us. Her words were just for me. I could respect that.

  “Whatever game those boys are playing—skip it.”

  “Not a bad bit of advice,” I admitted. “Wasn’t interested in it anyway.”

  I rose, but Quetta just stared at me.

  “You don’t usually lie to yourself,” she mused. “Probably a good plan to not start now.” With that, she whisked away back to me and I stuck my tongue out at her uncaring if she saw it in the mirror. Besties could be such a pain in the ass.

  I glanced to the corner where Cipher and Bish had been all cozied up and then to where Váli had been before they took off with him. I owed Váli a boon and he wasn’t shy, he’d collect it when he was ready.

  I also wasn’t that worried about Cipher and Bish trying to hold him hostage. Seriously, he was Vengeance. He ate douchebags like them for breakfast.

  A delighted laugh escaped me.

  Silly boys.

  That was better than if I’d planned it myself. With a little pat to my own back, I marked a point to myself in the air and then bamfed my way home. A hot bath, some wine, and maybe some MMA fighting if there was one on.

  I could go for a little blood and bone tonight.
