Right.
Addie just hoped she could hold on until they got back to the hotel. Somehow, she didn’t like her chances.
“Wow,”Ralen muttered as he stared over Cash’s shoulder.
“What is it?” Cash asked. “Is shit kicking off?”
“No, but it’s about to. These guys can sense new blood and it’s not gonna be pretty.” Ralen scowled.
Cash turned and immediately saw what he’d been looking at. Standing in front of the bar were two women who really didn’t belong here. One was tall with strawberry-blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail. She was dressed in an expensive-looking black skirt and blazer.
She had a disgusted look on her face as she glanced around, which really wasn’t going to endear her to anyone here.
The woman standing next to her was smaller with sleek, midnight-colored hair that fell right down to her ass. As she turned to peer around the bar, Cash stared at her in shock. Shewas quite possibly the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen in his life.
The beautiful woman wore a tentative smile and a look of hope on her face that you just didn’t see in bars like this.
God, the two of them were going to get chewed up and spat out.
“Well, you were hoping for a bit of excitement,” Ralen told him. “Seems like you might get your wish.”
Cash groaned. “Yeah but I was hoping to get some bruised knuckles, maybe spill a bit of blood. I was going to throw myself into a fight to stop fucking thinking for a moment. And now I’m gonna have to protect two lost women. Why the hell did they walk through the door?”
Ralen shrugged. “I don’t know, but is she not the most beautiful woman you’ve ever seen in your life?”
Cash studied the woman with the midnight-colored hair as she tried to get the bartender’s attention. When the guy finally turned, his eyes grew wide with shock.
“Yeah, I guess she is,” Cash said. “That’s not gonna help her get out of this situation, though, is it?”
Then someone moved away from the taller woman and surprise filled him when he saw there was a third woman standing there.
She must have been hidden behind them. She was even shorter than the dark-haired one and had pale blonde hair.
Fuck.
She looked absolutely terrified.
“Shit. There’s a third one?” Ralen said as he downed his beer. “They’re going to eat her up.”
Cash nodded. “We should go over there and tell them we’ll walk them out and wait with them until their ride comes.”
He’d also be giving them a stern lecture. This wasn’t the sort of bar where you went slumming. This was the sort of bar you came to die in.
At least if you couldn’t defend yourself.
These three were lambs to the slaughter.
Especially her. Cash watched as she tugged on the tallest woman’s arm. The other woman bent down to hear what she was saying. The small one pointed at the toilets.
Do not split up.
He gave a sigh of relief as the three of them headed toward the bathroom.
“Right, we better go and make sure that they’re planning on leaving now,” he said to Ralen.
But as they moved across the room, two large men stepped in front of them.
“What are you two pretty boys doing here?” one of them boomed as a drip of sweat worked its way down his dirty face.
