."I don't know, girlie.Either way, I'm not planning on sticking around to find out."Chapter 19Back inside, I found our booth still vacant.Good, I didn't really feel like pulling mind tricks on anybody.Actually, I preferred crawling into a hole and hibernating.I mean, I'd chomped on some random chick for god's sake.Moreover, I'd been party to her manipulation, her blood rape.And the fact that the whole ordeal turned me on made me wanna hurl.Yep, puke all that ill-gotten nourishment right up.Just then, a wiry frat boy cleared his throat, alerting me to his presence next to my table."I got rolls, you need any? Double stacks are thirty and regulars are twenty.""Huh?" I squinted at him blankly.What the hell was he talking about?"You know, ecstasy pills.Want one?""Oh, um, no thanks," I replied automatically.However, I immediately began reconsidering.Seriously, why not give it a try? The dancers always said ecstasy was the bomb.It might loosen me up to the point that I'd feel okay with finding more helpless victims.And drugs can't kill immortal brain cells, right? Hmm.Whatever, even if they can, screw it.Life sucks regardless."Hey, hold on!" I called out to the dealer who'd already moseyed on."I may have changed my mind.Tell me, though, what's the difference between double stacks and regulars?"Promptly, he turned back in my direction with his eyebrows arched."You're kidding?""No, I'm not.I really don't understand.""Okay, folks looks like we got us a first timer!" he jeered, breaking into series of boisterous laughs and not stopping until my cheeks flushed hot with embarrassment."The double stacked pills are hundred percent pure, unadulterated MDMA.They're also stronger.The regulars contain a dash of DXM, not as clean of a high.""Uh-huh.Well, I guess I'll take a double stack." After all, if I was gonna do drugs, I might as well have the best.With dollar signs in his eyes, the frat boy nodded in approval."Excellent choice.You're in for a fun ride!""Believe me, anything will be an improvement," I grumped, pulling several crumpled bills from my pocket and exchanging them for my very own little white promise of happiness.It even had a butterfly stamped into the top of it.How cute.As my supplier strode off, I took a deep breath and downed the tablet.I hated swallowing pills dry, yet I conveniently lacked a drink.It would've been easy to snag a bottle of water from the bar, nevertheless, I refused to waste the time.I needed to get this show on the road before my sidekick returned; he'd definitely disapprove.But oh well.And so, I waited for Lucien as the pill scratched its way along my throat.All the while, thoughts slowly creeped into my mind, causing me to wonder what complications were taking my protective companion so long.It'd been around ten minutes since I'd split from in the alley; he wouldn't have left me alone for this amount of time without a reason.My heartbeat quickened.Damn, the girl better be alright.Lucien, apparently sensing my unease, reached out through our bond."No worries! Dawn's fine; she's inside the club somewhere.I'm in the bathroom, be there in the sec."Whew! I wiped the proverbial sweat from my brow."Okay, I'm at the same table as earlier.""Be with you soon."Relieved, I sunk into the sturdy leather of the booth, allowing my nerves to settle.And, a couple songs later, he slid into the seat beside me.By then, the ecstasy pill had started kicking in.Yay! Double yay! "I feel so good! You should totally take one! I don't know where frat boy went, but I'm sure we can find him."Lucien's eyes surveyed me in trepidation."Frat boy? Oh no, what did he give you, girlie?""An ecstasy pill!" I bubbled, excitement erupting from my every tingling pore."This is such a wonderful place, all warm and cuddly!" Scooting closer to him, I proceeded to run my fingers through his hair."So, stiff, need somebody soft.""I leave you alone for less than a half hour!" he growled, grimacing angrily."It's too dangerous for you to be doing crap like this! You must keep your wits about you.In case.""Quit being such a spoilsport, I hunted with you didn't I? Now I'm having a little fun!" I moved my fingers down to the soft texture of his mesh shirt."Can I kiss you?"Abruptly, he shifted away and peeled my hands off his body."No! You aren't in your right mind.It's not that I wouldn't enjoy it, or that I haven't contemplated it, especially after earlier.I'd just rather take a step in that direction when you're sober [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
