started. I’m surprised you haven’t seen him before. He doesn’t
work every night, so maybe you just keep missing each other.”
I
nodded my head in moderate disinterest and tried to appear like I was just
making polite conversation.
“So, is
he just a bouncer, or does he work other jobs around here as well?”
Logan
narrowed his eyes slightly like he thought I was up to something. “He’s
just a bouncer. Why?”
I
realized he may have been on to me so I rubbed my finger in a circle on the bar
to enhance my innocent facade.
“No
reason. I was just making conversation.” I smiled up at him
sweetly. “You don’t happen to know his last name, do you?”
A low
timbre voice from beside me responded and I jumped. “If you want to know
about me, why don’t you just ask me yourself?”
Busted.
I
slowly turned around and looked up into Daemon’s eyes. My body instantly
reacted and I felt woozy all of a sudden. Holy Crap! Was that a
swoon?! Did I just fucking swoon?! What the hell is wrong with me?! Daemon had his signature smug look on full power and my face heated from his
glare. I reached over to take Alex’s hand and he turned back and noticed
my predicament. He scooted over in my direction and put his arm across my
shoulders. I looked up at Daemon and a sly grin broke out on his face.
“Hey
Daemon, long time no see.” I looked between Daemon and Alex and I wasn’t
shocked to find them in the middle of a stare down. “Let me introduce you
to my boyfriend , Alex.”
Daemon
and Alex both looked each other over and then Daemon smiled and nodded his head
at Alex. I turned, “Alex, this is Daemon. He’s one of the bouncers
here at Tomb.”
Alex
nodded at Daemon and I was pleased to get the introductions over with.
Daemon
looked back over to me and held my stare as he spoke next. “I’m glad to see you
brought your own personal white knight with you tonight, Damsel. I was
nervous when I saw you were here. You tend to make my job a little
tougher.”
If
my eyes could throw daggers, this man would have about a thousand holes in him
right now.
We
continued our stare down and then Alex cleared his throat to break up the
tension. I shook off whatever this was between me and Daemon and said,
“I’m happy to oblige, Daemon. I’d hate to pull you away from your fan
club again this evening.”
A
wicked grin broke over Daemon’s face. “I’m surprised you noticed. I
would have thought you were too busy with all the situations you kept
finding yourself in. I was starting to wonder if you weren’t purposely
setting it up for me to have to come save you.”
I
narrowed my eyes at Daemon and then Alex reached down to squeeze my hand.
I looked over to Alex and he had a questioning look on his face. I looked
back over to Daemon and said, “Well, this has been a good talk, but I’ll need
you to excuse me so I can enjoy my evening with my boyfriend .”
A low
timbre chuckle erupted from Daemon and he nodded his head at me. “Stay
out of trouble tonight, Damsel , I hope you and your boyfriend have an enjoyable evening.” With that, he turned and sauntered out into
the crowd. I realized my body had been tense while talking to Daemon
because when he was out of sight, my shoulders relaxed and I turned back to
Logan to order a drink. If I was going to get through tonight without
committing murder, I needed a few mixed drinks to relax me. Fortunately, we
took Alex’s car and he could play the designated driver.
Alex
and I talked with Logan while he was preparing our drinks and then sat at one
of the tables by Logan’s bar. We talked and joked around about the people
at the club and after a couple of drinks, Alex left to go to the
restroom. I stayed at the table and continued looking out over the
crowd. The club was playing old southern rock tonight and I tapped my
foot along with the music. It took a while for Alex to return and
work every night, so maybe you just keep missing each other.”

nodded my head in moderate disinterest and tried to appear like I was just
