Chapter Eleven
He couldn’t leave.Fuck.Scepter hadn’t ever dematerialized and then flashed right back within moments, ignoring his own best interests.Hell, he tossed the book of best interest in the fucking air and set the damn thing on fire.
As he watched the trio walk out the door and get into Savage’s armored vehicle, he let out a muttered curse.They were going into New York City’s shopping district, where rich fucking people shopped.It wasn’t a hotbed for crime.He shouldn’t be worried about an attack, but he was Savage’s second.Which meant he needed to watch the male’s back.
“We following the Boss?”Maryse asked.
“You just want a reason to shop at Saks,” he muttered.
The deadly female vampire smiled, flashing fangs at him.“Of course.Plus, I have a feeling your mind is going to be on one sexy female half-breed.”She jumped out of the way as he swiped at her.
“Are you saying I can’t do both?”he asked, growling.
Maryse grinned.“Absolutely not.You’re the king of multitasking.I am just saying, you were totally eye fucking her so hard, I almost took pics for OF.”
He huffed a laugh.“How would my doing that make any money for you?”
She pointed her fingers at her eyes, then at him.“If women saw the need you were exuding while staring at a female, they’d pay.Especially if you saw the way she watched you when you weren't paying attention.Seriously, the two of you are completely clueless.”
“Are you riding with me or what?”
Maryse slid a pair of leather gloves on her hands, her black eyes narrowed.“I’ll follow.I have a feeling shit is going to go south.I don’t want to be stuck without my own ride if and when it does.Besides, someone needs to drive dumb and dumber.”
Thane and Godsven stomped into view.Godsven wore wraparound shades, while Thane wore small circular glasses that probably cost more than most people’s entire outfit.Both males wore black from head to toe, and neither was smiling.
“Ready when you are, Scepter.Is the princess riding with us, or is she still throwing a hissy fit?”Thane asked.
Scepter looked at the two men and then at Maryse.“Maybe it’s me who should be riding by myself while the three of you work this shit out?”
Maryse lifted her middle finger.She took a step and then another before breaking into dozens of bats.
“Fuck, she’s so theatrical.”Thane shook his head.
“Well, you shouldn’t have fucked with her boyfriend,” Godsven growled.
Thane shoved the other male.“She was going to let him mark her.She hasn’t allowed herself to search for a true bond with a male of worth.Taking a chosen mate is stupid, especially with that idiot.”
Scepter let out a breath.“Listen.We have a Boss to protect, boys.Maryse is a big girl.If you have an issue with a male and her, you know who you should’ve gone to?Savage and his female.They have the right to speak to her and, honestly, the ability to do so without pissing off a female who can and will kick you in the nuts.”
