“So, Skathi, what do you think of our little party? Not really something you’re accustomed to, I’m sure.”

Odin cut Bonnie a sharp glare, silently warning her to keep her bitch barbs to herself. But Skathi seemed unbothered by the other woman’s obvious attempt at cutting her down.

“I’m quite impressed, actually. I had ignorantly expected there to be more…leather and bare skin, but I am glad to see I was wrong.”

Bonnie laughed condescendingly, ignoring Odin’s growl. The woman was really starting to overstep her bounds.

Then maybe you shouldn’t have let her stroke your dick earlier.Shit, he really shouldn’t have drunk so much.

“No, no leather here, unless you’re interested in spending time in our Dark Room.” At Skathi’s confused gaze, Bonnie continued, “Lots of leather, metal, and hardwood to enjoy in there. It’s where our girls, Bianca and Anna, offer their exclusive services as either a dominant or a submissive.”

“BDSM,” Trouble offered unhelpfully.

“Ah,” Skathi replied, curiosity flickering through her eyes before she could shutter them again.

So…his Goddess was interested in a little pain play? He should have remembered that from all the times he’d been a little rough during their sexual encounters, and especially that first time, when he’d slid insider her for the first time…the look on her face at the stretching of his cock in her tight pussy…. It had been mind-bending.

Oh yes, his badass woman had a kink, and he was more than willing to explore that with her.

Once she stopped looking at him like he was a piece of shit.

“Perhaps something else is more your style. We have everything you could possibly think of here, since we service patrons who live and breathe the city of every vice. I mean…I’m assuming your experience is limited, though I’m sure that Odin has taught you some things.” Bonnie’s smirk deepened. “He is anexcellentteacher,” she drawled, her heavy-lidded eyes skimming over Odin’s large, tense body. It would take a blind and deaf man to miss the innuendo she was so blatantly laying down.

What the fuck was she playing at?

Skathi stiffened beside him, pulling away from under his arm. “Excuse me,” she snapped, “I need to use the facilities.” She spun on her heel and disappeared into the crowd before Odin could even reach out and stop her. Or follow her. Something was definitely wrong. She’d gone from devouring him with her eyes to eviscerating him in a blink. Once she got back from the bathroom, he was taking her to one of the rooms because they were having it out.

Trouble grabbed his arm, pulling him away from Bonnie and into an alcove.

“Are you fuckin’ Bonnie?” Trouble snarled, the viciousness in his question making Odin’s head snap back.

“What the fuck man? Of course not. I’m with Skathi, only Skathi.”

Trouble pursed his lips, his fiery gaze dropping to Odin’s mouth then neck.

“So why the fuck does it look like you just got done fuckin’ Bonnie right before Skathi got here?” Reaching up, Trouble scrubbed his hand over Odin’s mouth, turning his palm and lifting his fingers to show Odin a smear of bright red.

Oh. Shit.

“Fuck!”

Bonnie had fucking marked him.

“You let that woman kiss you? You knew I was bringing Skathi in, why would you let Bonnie stick a knife in Skathi like that, brother?”

Shoving his fingers into his hair, he growled, frustrated at himself and Bonnie.

“It happened before I got your text,” Odin admitted, “but I’d just tossed back my fourth shot, and I’d been drinking’ beer with Dragon and Fang before I grabbed an Uber here. I’m not proud of it, brother, but I let her get a little too familiar with me.”

“Familiar?” Trouble snorted. “That woman laid claim to you where everyone could see, including your woman. Bonnie knew exactly what she was doing because she knew you were expecting Skathi.”

“Fuck!” He couldn’t say that word enough, because it fit the situation fucking perfectly.

“And now, your woman is in the bathroom thinking’ you were fuckin’ another woman before she got here—after I assured her just outside on the terrace, that you are faithful and loyal, and you wouldn’t cheat on her.”

“I wouldn’t! I won’t! I fucking didn’t!” Odin exploded, making heads turn in his direction.

Fortunately for Bonnie, she’d disappeared, no doubt realizing she was deep shit.
