“Do you have many enemies?”
“A man or woman with money and power always has enemies.”
Her cellphone rings and she pants out a breath. “Of course. They’re now looking for me by calling me.” She pulls her cell from her purse and glances at the number.
“Randall?” I ask.
Her gaze jerks to mine. “How do you know that and him?”
“I know a lot of people. Enemies everywhere, Emma,” I say softly, and I find myself really wanting her to listen. Really wanting to protect her, which is a contradiction to everything I would do otherwise where the Knights are concerned. “And this one wants to be in your bed. If he isn’t already.”
“How do you know that?”
“I told you. I know a lot of people and things.”
She sets her phone on the table without answering him.
“You aren’t going to answer?”
“No. I’m not going to answer. I’m not ready to go back.”
“Would like to get out of here?”
“And go where?”
“A castle by the ocean.”
She laughs. “If only.”
“I’m serious, Emma. Come with me. I’ll take you away.”
“Would you be asking me that if I walked away from it all?”
The curtain pulls back and Randall is standing there, his dark hair slicked back, his gaze sliding between the two of us and landing on me. “What the fuck are you doing here, Jax?”
My lips quirk. “Enjoying good company and good whiskey.” I glance at Emma. “With a beautiful woman,” I add.
I expect her to blush and look away, but she doesn’t. For several beats she just looks at me, her stare unreadable, but the crackle in the air between us, the whip and pull of attraction, is damn near palpable.
“Emma,” Randall snaps, “you have people here honoring your father.”
“Right. Responsibility calls.” Her eyes, her sea-green eyes meet mine. “Thank you, Jax. For the company and the fine whiskey.” Randall offers her his hand, but she ignores it and stands up.
“Don’t you want the answer to your question?” I ask.
She glances behind her, over her shoulder, to meet my stare. “Yes, I do.” But she doesn’t stay for an answer. She walks away, doing the impossible, considering she’s a Knight and I’m a North, as she does. She makes me crave more of her, but that changes nothing. I came here, seeking her out, for a reason. That reason hasn’t changed.
