Chapter 14

Irix drove into Rutherford and pulled up to a pool hall. I shot him a surprised look. “I thought we’d find swingers at somewhere more posh.”

“Au contraire, my dear Amber. Swingers are everywhere. Ones at pool halls tend to be a little quicker to get into bed than five star restaurants.”

Quicker worked for me. The conversation with the plague demon was still hanging over me, darkening my mood considerably. I wasn’t in the mood for this. I wasn’t in the mood for anything beyond going back to the trailer and curling up in bed, but I hated to end my day on such a bad note. Besides, I needed the energy, and this might be just the thing to pull me out of my gloom.

We hopped out of the car and I followed Irix in. He grabbed my hand once we were in the door and pulled me close to him as we approached the bar, squeezing between two sets of couples. We ordered drinks, then Irix draped his arm around me, planting a lingering kiss on my lips.

Thoughts of plague demons whacking me in the head, of the DiMarche vineyard a rotted wasteland, of elves who were no more than indentured servants faded away with his kiss. This was exactly what I needed. The crash of billiard balls echoed through the room, drowning out the hum of conversation and clink of glasses and bottles. A group of guys laughed over near the dart boards. A woman shouted, waving her pool cue in the air like a sword, high-fiving her partner. Irix’s hand slid from my waist to grip my ass and pull me against him, his forehead touching mine. Then his lips met mine once more, soft and full of promise.

“Go to the bathroom,” he whispered against my mouth.

I curled my fingers inside the waistband of his jeans as I pulled away from him, holding on as I walked away, letting go only when my arm had fully extended. I grinned back at him, and felt his eyes watching me as I walked off, putting an extra sway in my step. In the bathroom I went ahead and took care of business, smiling at the other two women who were touching up their make-up as I washed my hands. One of them said her good-byes while the other looked in the mirror and ran a hand over her smooth dark hair.

“How long is the wait for a table?” I asked. “We’re new in town. My boyfriend and I were hoping to shoot some pool tonight.”

The brunette turned to me, and I saw a glimmer of desire in her eyes. It wasn’t unusual. As much as most women liked to claim they were heterosexual, they often weren’t. Just because they had a preference didn’t mean there weren’t the few occasions where they met someone of the same sex they felt that pull of attraction toward.

“It’s half an hour at least.” She hesitated, digging in her purse and pulling out a lipstick before giving me a bashful smile.
