Chapter Twenty-Three

It was hell. The whole fucking night was hell.

All Xander wanted to do was get home, but they made it impossible. Not Luka or Wyatt. They were fine. In fact, Luka disappeared with some girl early in the evening and did not return for over an hour. And Xander was still stuck there when he did. Because of them . Veli, Eamon and Wenton. All there and watching Xander closely, eager to see some screw up or change in his personality that might be used against him, to get the president to question his loyalty.

But he would not give them the satisfaction.

Xander found a woman, a fairly attractive woman dressed in a modified version of a guard's uniform that showed off her long legs. She was completely enthralled by his Guardia wristband and the dark-blue trench coat he still wore, and she wanted to know all about being one. It was actually this band with the stupid crest on it that got so many women to come home with him. For anyone who lived in Middle or Inner City, it represented a sense of security. If these women could bed a Guardian and then keep him coming back for more, perhaps they could get him to protect them if need be. Little did they know, their cleverly devised plan was wasted on Xander Ruby. He had no interest in any of these women beyond one night.

Watching closely as the girl stroked the crest with her fingers, Xander couldn't help but find it curious how the one thing that made so many women desire him, beg for him even, was the same thing that made Deryn push him away. The one woman he actually wanted to have in his bed that night.

Thinking of Deryn sitting alone in his apartment with whatever dinner she had prepared made Xander sick. He stood up and pushed the girl off of his lap, which she had been straddling.

"You outta here, Ruby?" asked Luka as a different girl than the one he had disappeared with earlier sucked on his neck.

"I did my time," said Xander, taking a large swig from the bottle of whiskey on their table and then heading for the door.

He was practically outside before he realized the girl who had been so intrigued by his wristband was following him.

"What are you doing?" he asked when they got to the curb.

"I'm coming with you," she said, grabbing his arm and stretching up to kiss him.

Xander turned so she hit his jaw. "I'm not interested."

"I bet I could change your mind." She moved her hand downwards and began rubbing at the cloth of his coat, just over his groin.

He pulled back. "I don't know what you think you're going to get out of this, but you should know that no one gets more than one turn in my bed."

The girl moved towards him again and cupped him in her hand. "I'm not looking for more than one turn," she whispered seductively in his ear.

"Get the fuck off -"

"Evening, Xander.
