“Hmm.What would be good?”She glanced at the drinks board.“I’ll go with the Mango Blueberry Gin Fizz.”
“You’ll love it.Very in season.Con?”
“A Guinness stout if you have one.”
Worgan busied himself getting their drinks while Con tried to see who was in the shadows.He still couldn’t tell.While he and Rey sat on the plush stools, he tugged her closer until they were thigh to thigh.
Her teeth ground together, but she smiled.
Despite the reason for being on Earth, Con was having fun.He leaned over and kissed her.When she frowned, he whispered, “Play along, love.”
She pinched his leg.Hard.
“I like an assertive female.”
Rey smirked.
Setting their drinks on fancy coasters on the bar, Worgan asked, “Anything else?”
“Answers,” said Con.
Worgan barely blinked, but Con caught the look.“A customer.I’ll be right back.”The bartender walked to a booth.
After fixing two drinks and serving them, Worgan returned.“Shoot.”
“Are you acquainted with George Sandoval?”
Worgan’s gaze flitted from Con to Rey.“Yeah.Why are the Firebrands interested?”
“We’re a nosy bunch.Say, who are the guys standing in the corner?”
“You don’t know them.Bouncers.”
“A classy place like this needs security?”
“Can’t be too safe.We attract Aeternals.The hotel contracts with Scath businesses.Big bucks.Anyway, some nights the patrons get too rowdy for a classy joint.The bouncers keep things quiet.”
“About George?”Con asked.
“I know him.He comes in almost every day after work.Does something with kids.”Worgan polished the mahogany bar with a cloth.
“Ever with anybody?”
“Nope.Always alone.”
“Are you aware of his little peccadillos?”
Worgan grinned, “You mean his vamp wannabe shit?”
Con nodded.
“Innocent stuff.Sometimes his hair would be slicked back, and he’d be wearing dark clothes and fangs.Everyone to his own, I say.”He slipped drink menus to two new customers.
“Did he realize you’re a shifter?”
“If he read the sign.Why the questions about George?”
“He got himself killed.Kinda messy.Throat ripped out and all.”
