He didn’t expect pussy for free, not as a veteran who puthis life on the line to keep their country safe, not as the son of a veteranwho did the same, or the latest in a line of many men who did just that.
He didn’t expect pussy for free because of his title or hisconnections, either.
He didn’t expect anything for free.
He paid and he paid well.
Though one could say he liked games.
But only those he wished to play.
So Loren had no patience at all for this shite.
In five seconds, both men were on the floor, their bloodflowing freely into the silk rugs.
They would never again take their feet.
Mayda whimpered.
Loren stepped over them and into the hall.
In the end, he was vaguely disappointed it wasn’t much of achallenge.
Patrons and workers alike were shrieking and falling overthemselves, as well as slipping on blood and bodies, in order to get out whileLoren held Winnow against the wall of her office with his forearm.
“Where is it?”he asked mildly.
Her green gaze flicked to her desk.
He transferred one bloody blade to the other hand, stillheld at the ready, took her by the side of the neck and pulled her to the desk.
“Fetch it,” he ordered.
With trembling hands, she took the keys that dangled fromthe ribbon that served as a belt, bent to the bottom drawer, and Loren stayedvigilant and alert as he watched her open the drawer.
She came out with naught but his wallet.
But he saw what else was inside.
He took the wallet from her and slammed the drawer shut withthe toe of his boot.
“I hope my message has been made clear,” he began.“It willbe ill-advised that you ever do this again.”
He then moved his hand to the back of her skull and slammedher forehead down on the desk.
She slithered, unconscious, to the floor.
Through the now quiet and deserted space, Loren sauntered upto Mayda’s room.
Standing at the foot of her bed, where she was pressed tothe headboard, covers to her mouth, weeping silently, he asked, “It’s fifteennormal, twenty up the arse, five for the suckling, five for eating, no?”
She stared at him in horror for a moment before she slowlynodded her head.
Loren rifled through the paper notes KingNoctornohad instituted several years ago, one of his manybrilliant ideas.
Carrying coin was burdensome.
This was far better.
