Page 372 of Flirting with Darkness

Each of the males lounged on the couch as if they owned the place, a series of expressions from bored to cryptic to downright eager covered their faces. It looked like I had my work cut out for me.

“Hello, I’m Angel,” I purred, prowling toward the three of them. I placed one knee between the legs of the man in the middle, one foot propped up on the couch beside him and gave a seductive heated look across all three of them. “But you can call me your next fantasy.”

The man on the left seemed the younger of the three with his boyish looks and eager blue eyes. “Any fantasy huh?”

“Duke,” the one to my right called out a warning. “We’re not here for that.”

I almost frowned but pushed my face back into that practiced look that made every man melt before me. “Oh, I can turn into anyone you want…any female.” I added on quickly, I’d tried shapeshifting into the other gender and it was just too weird. There were others here at the club that would do it…for a price. Not me.

“And you’re the best?” the one I was practically riding growled out, his eyes a paler blue than Duke’s.

I reached out, stroking my fingers up and down the corded muscles beneath the tight green t-shirt stretched over his chest. “Just a little peak in your head and I can be whoever you want me to be. A famous singer maybe? The president?” I let out a naughty giggle. “Maybe a teacher?” I bowed my body over his, letting my ass stick out for them to enjoy. “I’ve been told I give a mighty good spanking.”

“No.”

Duke let out a whine. “Oh come on, Cooper. Let’s have a little fun first. She’s a sure thing.”

I winked at Duke and reached for him. “That’s right, baby. I’m yours as long as you have the money to cover it.”

“Oh we got it,” Duke chuckled in that low way that men do when they know they’re going to get their dick wet.

I pursed my lips and let my hand trail down to the waist of his pants.

Cooper grabbed my hand in a slightly tighter than normal grip, stopping me just shy of touching Duke’s pants and stated matter-of-fact, “We want you to turn into our sister.”

Istared down at the male, my eyes wide and my mouth dropped open. I jerked my wrist from his grasp and pushed off of his lap. Putting a few good feet between me and the three males, I flipped my hair over my shoulder and put my hands on my hips in my power pose.

“Did you not read the contract?” I asked, letting my irritation fill my voice. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt but I’d had one too many sleazeballs who wanted to come in here and get their jollies off with their mom or -ick - grandma. I wasn’t about to get fooled by some pretty faces.

“Yes, we did.” Cooper calmly replied, never taking his gaze off of me.

“Then you know that I can transform into anyone you desire for a price…” I did the whole spiel, spreading my hands out to either side and smiling slightly before adding on with a stern frown. “Within reason. And those are the same for every witch here. No relatives. No children. No ex-boss or wife you want to kill.” I named a few things off on my fingers. “And certainly no sisters.” I finished pointedly.

The third man who hadn’t said much sat forward in his seat, his hands laced in between his legs. He was the only one with darker hair and a mix of green blue eyes. “How do you know that they’re related? Can’t they just lie?”

“No,” I snapped and then reminded myself that I was with customers. I couldn't let my disgust show that way. This didn’t have to be a waste of time. Maybe I could convince them to pick someone else. “I mean…” I walked slowly toward him, letting my hips roll with each movement. Combing my hands through his hair, I explained, “To get a clear picture of who you want me to be, I need to peek inside of your head. While I’m there, I make sure they are telling the truth.”

The man peered up at me with a dark look in his eyes. “What if they refuse?”

My lips quirked up at the sides. “No one refuses me.”

“Jeez, Jax.” Duke grunted. “Be a bit more polite. We’re here to hire her, not to interrogate her.”

“No,” Cooper jumped in waving Duke off. “We need to know the process.” Turning his attention back to me, Cooper pulled out a large wad of cash from his pocket. “We understand the exclusions on the contract which is why we are willing to offer you five times your price for each hour.”

I gaped at the cash he fanned out before me.

Five times my normal rate an hour? That could help me pay for the new treatment grandma needed. I could feel my moral ledger tipping to one side and as hard as it was to do, I had to decline. It was just wrong.

"I get that the money is good and I'm not one to kink shame - I like a forbidden romance as much as the next person - but I won't shape-shift so you can fuck your sister." I shoved off Jax and made a move for the door. “If you don’t have any other fantasy you want to play out then I have other customers to see.”

Quicker than I could see, Jax appeared in front of me blocking my exit. I frowned and let my magic pour out of me, feeling out the man before me. I thought they were just a few humans looking for some fun but no human moved like that.

I jerked back from Jax with a hiss. “Werewolves.” Backing away from the wolf, I turned so that my back was to the wall and I could see all three of them. I put my hand behind my back, I conjured a silver dagger into my hand.

“Now, hold on a moment.” Duke stood and held his hands up as if to calm a deer. “We’re not here to hurt you.”
