Chapter Twenty-One

Dominick

“Where is she?” Sara asked as we entered Epicurus Marbella, screaming over the pulsing music and throngs of people.

I was just as eager to find Ella, but I wasn’t bouncing on my heels and swinging my head from side to side like her friend, who’d changed into black satin pants and a silky, red halter top that was mostly string. I gave Rami a side-eye glance, which he pointedly ignored. I hadn’t wanted to bring Sara with us, suspecting that she’d be too anxious to stay cool and might tip off the Solanos before we could procure Ella from them.

“This might not be the best idea,” my second-in-command said as he gazed over the dancing crowd.

At first, I thought he was talking about Sara and finally coming around to my viewpoint, but then I followed his gaze. The guests of Epicurus—the writhing masses of bodies barely covered in skimpy dresses and open shirts—were heavily interspersed with succubi and incubi. It only took a cursory glance to see how many of the sensually motivated demons were dancing in the crowd, their numbers easy to spot because of their black leather and the number of humans hanging on them—not to mention the demonic energy that pulsed around them. If we’d arrived later in the evening, I doubted there would have been such a high concentration, as the demons would have left with the humans they’d chosen to slake their insatiable lust.

Rami groaned. “I’d forgotten about Marbella.”

“They won’t cause a problem,” I told him, with more confidence than I felt.

He twisted his head to face me, cocking one eyebrow. “They’re still demons.”

“Demons we allow to patronize our clubs so they can feast on the sexual energy of humans. If they challenge me, I can easily forbid them to hunt in every Epicurus in the world. Let them go back to sneaking through open windows and seducing people in their sleep like thieves.”

“I don’t know what you two are going on about, but it’s hella creepy.” Sara waved a hand in the air as if dismissing both of us. “I’m going to chalk it up to angel stuff and pretend I didn’t hear any of it. Now are we going to look for Ella, or what?”

Before I could respond, Tamiel joined us, bowing his head slightly. “We’ve been monitoring the situation, Dom. She hasn’t left.”

Sara gave him an unrepentant once-over. “Let me guess? Another one of your hot-as-shit fallen angels.”

Tamiel grinned at her assessment even as he raised an eyebrow. “Who is—?”

“Someone who promised she would follow our lead and not cause trouble,” I said, giving Sara a pointed look and gaining a snarky one in return. I shifted my gaze back to Tamiel. “Where are they now?”

“The group split up. The elder Solano is on the dance floor.” He inclined his head to where the familiar man was gyrating against a woman who looked heavily drugged.

I curled my top lip in disgust. Mateo might be set to inherit Don Solano’s modest underworld organization, but he had none of the older man’s presence or command.
