“Work?” Frost asked.
I chuckled and set the empty shot glass in front of Luna.
She glared at me and grabbed the bottle of whiskey. One of the perks of being a Devil’s Knight. Your glass was never empty for long. She sloshed the brown liquid in and shoved it back to me. “Two more girls called in tonight.”
“And?”
Luna had begged and pleaded to be the manager of Sultry Knights. Dealing with employees calling in was part of the deal.
She growled and leaned in toward me.
Reva laid her hand on my thigh and leaned back into me. I wrapped my arm around her waist and pressed a kiss to her cheek. Luna could definitely be intimidating if she was wound up enough. “This is Luna, Sunshine,” I whispered in her ear.
“She, uh, seems nice.” Reva grabbed her drink and settled back into me.
“I don’t know why you’ve got your panties in a twist, Luna. You got Greta helping you out. She works harder than any other of your waitresses.” Frost drained his beer and grabbed the one Luna had poured him before she stormed off.
“I wasn’t talking to you,” she snapped.
Frost held up his hands. “I can see you’ve forgotten everything that happened today. Back to bitch Luna,” he grumbled.
Frost and Luna were constantly going back and forth with each other. Part of me wondered if they just needed to fall into bed and fuck it out.
“Why don’t you get off your ass and do what you dumbasses were supposed to do tonight? Zig and Zag are hungover in the corner. Snapper has his thumb up his ass sitting at the door. You two are just drinking, and I haven’t seen the rest of the guys.” She grabbed a bar towel and smacked it on the counter. “There’s a killer on the loose, and you guys are doing jack shit.” She threw the towel in Frost’s face and stormed off again.
Frost balled it up and tossed it on the bar. “That chick needs some weed, booze, or dick.”
I grabbed the shot she had poured. “Probably all three.”
“Hero,” Reva scolded. “You can tell she’s overwhelmed.”
I laughed and shook my head. “I’m gonna let that pass, Sunshine, since you don’t know Luna and you’re giving her the benefit of the doubt. What you just saw is basically Luna twenty-four-seven.”
“Well, I’m gonna get up before she storms back over here.” Frost stood and dropped a twenty on the bar. “Make sure that goes to Greta.” He sauntered off toward the stage.
“Uh, are you supposed to be doing something?” Reva asked.
I shrugged. “Yeah.”
“Hero,” she scoffed. “Let me go and do whatever it is you need to do.”
I tighten my hold on her. “Not before I get a kiss.”
She rolled her eyes and twisted to press a kiss to my cheek. “Now go to work. I promise there is more where that came from.”
I grabbed her chin and kissed her lips. “You’re the only one who refers to club business as work.”
She shrugged. “I mean, it is your work, right?” I let her off my lap, and she slid onto the stool Frost had been sitting on. “Now, go. I’ve got a drink and some dancing to watch.”
“You sure you’re good?”
She shooed me off with a wave of her hand. “You’re blocking my view of the stage.”
“Should I be worried about you being so into the stage?” I chuckled.
Reva rolled her eyes. “I couldn’t even pull myself up on that pole. It’s amazing what these girls can do.”
I guess that was better than her thinking the girls were beneath her. “Behave while I’m gone.” I pressed a kiss to her cheek and made eye contact with Greta, who was making her way back down the length of the bar. She nodded, knowing I wanted her to keep an eye on Reva.
