Chapter Nine

Eva clutched the black marble in her hand and considered how far she was going to let the situation go before she told Quinn she’d lifted it from the blonde’s jacket when she was trying to clean it.

She leaned against end of the bar and watched the crowd. Quinn and Blondie were back on the dance floor. Quinn looked like he was having fun, but she knew better. He loathed dancing. Once, she’d tried to convince him into going to a club, and he’d confessed that dancing was one of the few situations where he felt awkward.

And if there was one sensation that was unfamiliar to Quinn Blackwood, it was awkwardness. She suspected he’d always been some form of ridiculously handsome—from the cutest baby in the playpen to the hot guy in high school—and he loathed the sensation of feeling like he didn’t belong.

On the other hand, she loved to dance. She remembered watching her parents in their living room. They’d push back the furniture, put on the music, and spend the next hour showing off their Cali-style salsa skills. She’d held on to those memories with fierceness. She loved them. Protected them.

And watching the crowd had brought it all back with a rush, so when the two men had asked her to dance, she’d said yes before she could stop herself.

Being on the dance floor made her more obvious, but she also knew the odds that a tail had followed them into the bar were small. And if there was a spy in the club, he was already watching her, and dancing wasn’t going to make a difference.

Sipping her drink, she scanned the crowd again. No one seemed interested in her.

They were safe for now. She watched Quinn. Or, rather, she was safe. He and Blondie had left the dance floor and were sipping drinks again. From the stranger’s body language, he wanted something that Quinn wasn’t prepared to offer.

She grinned, but as much as she wanted to let this play out, the stranger didn’t deserve to be led on. Plus, she and Quinn needed to get sleep while they could since tomorrow could bring a whole new batch of chaos.

Tugging at the hem of her dress, she sauntered toward the men and stumbled, hitting Quinn.

Once again, Quinn’s drink spilled.

The blonde didn’t seem as forgiving this time. His eyes narrowed, and Eva was sure that he was only a moment away from slapping her.

On the other hand, Quinn smiled at his salvation.

Prepared to be even happier. “Sorry,” she said. “I seem to be having issues walking, tonight.”

“Maybe you should go somewhere else,” the blonde said. “Someplace more appropriate.”

She raised a brow and with a flip of her hair, dismissed him. “You.” She pressed a finger against Quinn’s sternum, blocking the blonde from view. “Can I buy you another drink?”

“Have one. Thanks.” But his expression screamed, “Save me.”

“We’re talking,” the stranger said, taking her by the elbow and trying to shove her out of the way.

She glared at him over her shoulder, channeling the diva within.
