CHAPTER 45

Turning my gaze up, I meet my old boss’s henchman’s stare as he stands over me, towering so high I can just about see his ugly face. I jump to my feet, swinging my dagger out as I take in the man who is made of pure rot from head to toe. He is over nine feet, with long sharp yellow fingernails and yellow spikes of hair. Every inch of him is literal crap mixed with more crap until it made a man’s shape. Add on some creepy white eyes and a line for a mouth, you have yourself a pretty stinky demon.

Seth more casually climbs to his feet, and out of the corner of my eye, I watch as he pulls off his wet suit blazer and drops it in the sand. Slowly, he rolls up his damp sleeves, and I admire the sexiness of it all, including the way his wet clothes cling to his body and every muscle there. My fingers itch to run my hands over every inch of him.

If there wasn’t this bad smell around us...

“Are you back to say how sorry you are that you failed?” he asks, cracking his fingers. “Boss is angry at you. It’s why he sent us all to attack the city and kill those women.”

What women?

“Didn’t see you taking the job for Dagthoch,” I counter, refusing to call him boss anymore. I’ve escaped this place now. I can ask Evie about the women later, because I’ve missed some part of this story. “Or any job other than stinking up his house.”

He grunts and pulls out an axe from his back—literally rips the weapon out of his skin—and clenches it in his thick hand. “Boss wants you dead.”

“So do a lot of people.” I slip my hand over the clip on my whip and let it fall to the ground, the handle tightly held in my palm. “But tough shit, I’m not going anywhere.”

Glancing at Seth, I watch his eyes turn black and his arms light up with fire before he gestures to the repulsive giant. “Ladies first.”

I grin and lash my whip out, catching the Vozzorth on this arm and almost knocking the axe from it. He swings his arm up, just like I wanted him to, pulling me through the air towards him. His thick hand swings a punch, hitting my leg as I crash into his chest and slam my dagger into his neck. My foot slips, and I lose my grip for a second, but then the whip lights up green, and I feel the power from it as it vibrates. The Vozzorth starts to scream as the whip shakes, and I fall to his feet, watching as the whip cuts right through his arm like paper, and the arm drops onto the ground next to me.

“So gross and cool,” I mutter.

Seth pats me on the shoulder as he passes me. “You’ve had your fun, darling, but it is my turn.”

Well, I’m just going to watch the show.
