“Where
Raine? He liked the sound of her moniker more than the
colorless number three. The name fit her—sad and pretty at the same
time. Case rejoiced in the progress he’d made with her.
Raine tugged his suit coat tighter around her. She said
nothing, but fear radiated from her.
Casey wanted to know what Lomax had done to her. The girl
he’d seen at the club had been more open and free. She’d been happy.
If he’d had a heart, it would’ve ached for her. He
remembered the number painted on her chest. Those fucking idiots
would paint the girls. He flicked his fingers, removing the paint
with his magic. No one should have spray paint on their body.
“Aren’t you going to ask my name?” Casey wanted to tug her
into his arms and hold her until she relaxed.
“No.” She didn’t move. “You’re my sir. I should address you
as such.”
“Will you call me by my name? I’d prefer it,” he said.
“You’re not my slave.”
Her eyes widened.
“I didn’t pay for you to put you to work.” He engaged the
engine. A ripple of knowing shot through him. No one would hurt her
with him around, but that didn’t mean he wanted to draw attention to
them by hanging out in the parking lot.
The vampires had destroyed so much land and with the world
plunged into darkness, few felt safe. He possessed means and a safe
vehicle, but he didn’t want to lag about.
Raine didn’t relax, but when another car passed his, she
clutched his hand.
“You’ll be okay.” He wanted to explain why, but what if she
were repulsed by him being part Fae? He’d been ostracized by most of
the vampires because of his lineage. The only reason he’d gained
entry to the auction was his money. They’d take his cash and ignore
his undesirable family line.
She ducked down in the seat. “Will he come looking for me?”
