She strolled away from the puzzled creature, heading toward the roulette table across the crowded room. She borrowed a few thousand dollars from Basq’s private stash he kept hidden in his bedroom. Before the night was over, she intended to double her ill-gotten fortune. Or lose it all.
Either way, it was all good.
Basq would be pissed. Chiron would have heartburn. And she would have enjoyed a night of entertainment that was different from her usual drunken escapades at the tawdrier demon clubs.
Win. Win. Win.
She was passing by a brightly lit stage where a pair of frost fairies were performing a sensual dance that included a lot of fluttering wings and sparkles when a hand reached out to grab her upper arm.
Chaaya halted, slowly swiveling her head to glare at the male who’d dared to touch her without permission.
He wasn’t old in vampire terms. Maybe a couple hundred years. Chaaya wasn’t sure how she knew, but she could sense a demon’s age in the lack of power that surrounded them. This one was slender with blue eyes and skin as pale as snow. His dark hair was slicked back to emphasize the arrogance of his finely chiseled features.
Chaaya deliberately lowered her gaze to the fingers digging into her flesh.
“Are you tired of that hand being attached to your arm?” she asked in sweet tones.
“I just want to talk to you,” the male retorted, stupidly maintaining his tight grip. “I haven’t seen you around here before.”
Chaaya covertly reached for the copper spear. Since her return to this world she’d discovered that she attracted a lot of attention. From both males and females. But she wasn’t at the Viper’s Nest to make friends. Or even enemies, which was a lot more fun.
She was there to release some pent-up steam. Period.
