Pan's Salvation (Dueling Devils 5)

“Get out of here and have fun, I’m going to rustle up a couple of beers,” Lefty said patting Gia’s ass.

“You good?” Monster asked Symone.

“Yes, go spend time with your boys while this one is docile,” Symone replied, nodding her head at the baby.

“You don’t have to tell me twice.” Monster grinned.

Pan squeezed her neck and she smiled at him as he released her and walked away. Their

gazes held for a few moments before he disappeared into the crowd of people.

“So, the two of you could set the whole damn room on fire,” Chase whispered.

“Chase,” Symone scolded.

“What? You’d have to be blonde not to see the attraction between them. I mean…damn!”

She fanned her face.

Lark laughed. Some of the old ladies had been standoffish with her, but these girls she enjoyed spending time with.

“What about you, huh? No way you’re sitting at home, wearing out Bob’s,” Symone said.

“Nope. I’m getting it on with some no strings attached action,” Chase replied with a sly grin.

“Look at her, she’s proud of it!” Gia exclaimed.

“What? I got nothing to hide.” Chase shrugged.

“When are you going to settle down?” Symone asked.

“When I find a person who makes me even halfway consider it. Most, can’t hold my

attention longer than a couple of months,” Chase admitted.

“I know that feeling. Before Pan, men were an indulgence I partook of on my own timetable.

I had rules and they followed them or they were dismissed. I didn’t have time for the emotional investment the way a lot of them wanted,” Lark said.

“See? She knows what’s up.” Chase nodded.

“Why is Pan different?” Gia asked.

“That’s’ the million dollar question isn’t it? I’m still trying to answer that myself. Maybe it was the right time in my life?” Lark shook her head.

“How did you even meet? None of us have heard the story,” Symone hinted.

“It’s not glamorous by any means. I stopped for gas at the wrong place and time. The Hell’s Minion’s found out they were being cheated and decided to pay the owner back by destroying him and his business. I happened to be in the shop at the time.” The re-telling took her back to the moment. The hair rose on the back of her neck and her forearms. She wrapped her arms around her waist. “I managed to escape the gunfire and hide out in the bathroom. They found me, of course. They’re not the type to leave loose ends. I attacked and ran right into the brick wall that is Pan.”

“What did he do?”

“Nothing. I head-butted him and broke his nose. It knocked me out cold and got me offered up to him for payback.”

“Holy shit!” Chase rasped. “So, you were his prisoner. This is some Stockholm Syndrome

type stuff.”

The payback was almost too much for her to think about even now. All the voices in the room faded away just then, as Lark could still taste his salty flavor in her mouth and remember the feel of a dozen eyes on her as she took him to the back of her throat. Her breasts grew heavy and her cream coated her panties. It’d taken all she had to take in his thick girth. The memory of his payback made her shiver as she stood still.
