Chapter 16

Mina did end up going back to work for Frank. At first, everything was fine. The people at these parties had never paid much attention to her. She’d been nervous until not a single eye turned toward her when she walked on the floor. Quickly, she remembered what had kept her coming to these events. It was good money. The bastards only looked up long enough to ogle her ass or tits. She gave them a drink; they gave her an obnoxiously large tip.

“Easy money,” Celeste said, leaning in close to her ear.

“Hey, gorgeous girls.”

Mina huffed, almost dropping her tray as some drunk asshole who’d looked her up and down earlier draped a heavy arm over her shoulders and another over Celeste’s. Mina cringed back at his booze breath. Celeste just flashed him a grin. “You’re heavy, Robert.”

“Believe me, Rob. You’re better off not touching that one.”

A chill went down Mina’s spine. She ducked under Robert’s arm and spun around. Sure enough, there was Patrick. He looked twice as intimidating when his eyes were clear, sharp, and narrowed on her. He locked her in his gaze even as he continued speaking to Rob. “She’s a bit of a drama queen, and you know how Frankie gets about women when they whine enough.”

She probably should’ve been scared. This man was dangerous—she knew that—but despite his size, he didn’t look it. Not with his arm in a sling like that. Maybe if she were actually doing something he wouldn’t like, maybe if she actually did have a wire or was trying to get him in trouble, she’d be worried.

As it was, she knew a stronger, much more dangerous man had her back, at least where this joker was concerned. “You’re just pissed you can’t jack off with your arm all messed up.” She smiled extra big. “Now, what can I get you, sweetie?”

Robert chortled and ruffled Patrick’s hair. “Sweetie, cutie.”

The rest of the night, Mina managed to avoid Patrick, except for his eyes. There was no avoiding his eyes. His glare was malevolent as his eyes followed her around the room all night long.

“You doing all right, babe?” Celeste asked as they left, throwing her arm around Mina’s shoulders.

“Yeah.” Mina rolled her neck, trying to shrug off the creepy-crawly feeling that had coated her skin all night long. “These guys ever give you the heebie-jeebies?”

“Heebie-jeebies.” Celeste laughed, squeezing her shoulders and releasing her as they got to her car.

“Celeste, I’m serious.”

“It’s a room full of mostly men, hon. You fill a room with guys, one or two of them are going to be disgusting assholes. We deal with creeps all the time. For free.”

“These guys are different.”

“Mina.” Celeste shook her head. “Frankie showed you what happens if someone messes with us. We’re off limits, hon. Hell, we’re safer there than with most jobs, and we’re making good money.”

Mina crossed her arms over her chest, staring forward.

Celeste made an exasperated noise. “We’re not in college anymore. We’re not kids anymore, and you’re with this clown, Val.
