“Do I meet your expectations, Lawson? Cause I think it’s all way too much, I’d much prefer to wear my tatty jeans.”

I couldn’t hold back my laugh as I slowly shook my head. “This is fine for where we are going, we’ve still got a couple more hours before we go so you may as well try to relax.”

I fingered one of her golden curls and she informed me that it was a rather hideously itchy wig, that she couldn’t wait to tear from her person. The very first chance she got.

Unya

At least the time had finally arrived, I wondered how I was supposed to ride on the back of his bike dressed like this when he silently led me to a rather sleek looking car instead.

It was then that I realised that he had not donned his usual biker clothing, and was finally able to take him all in. He had on a pair of low rising jeans, that hugged his hips perfectly and a plain black tank top that provided a sighting of the vee that crept below his waist band. He had a flat, well-toned stomach, as well as muscular arms and a firm arse. He was the definition of eye candy.

“Before you ask, its Kat’s car,” He informed me as he opened my door and waited for me to climb in. I hadn’t expected the chivalrous act and was reminded of the fact that I had no idea who I was sitting next too. He really was a stranger to me, all I knew was that his name was Lawson, he lived with a girl called Kat, he rode a bike and could dislocate a guy’s arm with relative ease. Not forgetting the fact that he had told me that I most certainly should not trust him, that was one thing I was trying to keep in the front of my mind.

We drove in silence and I realised we were driving away from the populated areas, and seemed to be driving towards the farms and fields. It was the moment we turned off onto a dirt road that I started to wonder why Kat would make me look so pretty and girlie if I was been driven off towards my own early demise.

“It’s an awfully long way to go, just to kill me you know.”

He looked slightly taken back by my statement and seemed to contemplate his reply for quite some time.

“You seem rather calm for someone who’s about to die.”

He said that with such a sense of finality that I’m sure I should have panicked or at least flinched, but as usual, I lacked any response.

“I’m not going to kill you Unya, besides Kat would have my head if I ruined the dress that she lent to you.” He laughed as he said this and I began to think that maybe I had gotten away with my lack of emotions to his obvious threat.

“So, if you are not leading me to my death, where are you leading me too?”

“The club that we are going too is well hidden, it prevents the ‘nobody’s’ from trespassing. It stops any unnecessary casualties occurring.”

I stared at him as he said this and wondered who exactly would constitute as ‘a nobody.’

We finally pulled up outside a barn, I mean a barn for Christ sake. I rolled my eyes and pushed the car door wide open.

He ran around to my side and grabbed hold of my elbow, I felt a zing of electricity spark between us and he quickly let go. I wasn’t sure if he felt it too, but by the way he reacted I suspected he had.

“I know that Kat went to a lot of effort to hide your true self, but maybe we should be extra cautious and go the full shebang with a new name too.”

“Yeah sure, whatever you say.”

He stared at me hard, as his eyes burned their way into mine and I told him that I would go by Luna.

He nodded his approval and slowly raised his hand to my face, I wondered for a moment if he was going to try to kiss me when he tucked a strand of ebony hair, that had managed to become loose, back inside the wig.

He took my hand inside his and that electric feeling buzzed its way up my arm, he glanced down at me as though he wanted to say something, but obviously chose not too as he guided me to the barn door.

He had a quick look around before placing three hard raps onto the door, I honestly did not expect anything to happen when it suddenly flew open and I was left staring up at a giant of a man.

He had a decidedly evil looking face and I honestly felt as though he was going to gobble me up right there. That was until he looked at Lawson and with a bow of his head moved aside so that we could gain entry.

We climbed down a set of thick stone steps that led to yet another door, but this one had no body guard on the other side, just a throng of bodies writhing to the overly loud music that was playing.

The club was practically black, accept from the strobe lights that were hitting the dance floor and the lamps were dotted around by the bar. I’d never seen anything like it and suddenly wished Addy was here to experience it with me. My hand was still sat firmly with Lawson’s and he was soon leading us over to the bar, where two stools suddenly became empty upon his arrival.

“I’m going to go and get us some drinks, you should be fine but if anyone bothers you, just tell them you are with me and they’ll soon leave you alone.”

He quickly set off and didn’t even wait to see if I had anything to say back to him, I wondered if I should pretend to be angered by his obvious lack in my-self-preservation. He sure as hell didn’t seem to think I was able to take care of myself, but that being said this was his crowd and maybe he knew something I didn’t.
