Nix
knew she drew every man's attention the moment she walked into the smoky bar.
The rowdy noise that had caught her notice in the first place fell silent. She
paused on the threshold for effect, a little smirk crossing her lips.
Human
males were so easy.
Throwing just a little extra sway in her hips, Nix strolled across the smoky
room to the wooden bar. She wasn't in the least bit surprised when a path
opened for her, men and women alike moving quickly out of her way.
"Wha—"
the bartender choked. He cleared his throat then tried again. "What can I get
you, miss?"
Nix
pushed her long curls out of her face, wishing just once in her life that her
long blond hair would do what she wanted and not fly all over the place. "What
do you have that's really cold?" she asked in her sultriest voice.
"Beer?"
"You
can't give a fine looking woman like this a beer, Sam," said the first man
brave enough to approach Nix, stepping up to stand next to her, "Only
champagne for her."
Nix
knew immediately that he wouldn't do for her purposes. Besides the fact that
he had an odd smell to him, she hated champagne. It always tasted kind of sour
to her and the bubbles just made her nose twitch.
Nix
raised one perfectly arched eyebrow as she turned to pin the offending man
with her gaze. She just stared at him until he dropped his head and moved
away. Rolling her eyes, she turned back to the bartender only to find him
staring at her as if he were a deer caught in headlights.
She
reached out and snapped her fingers in front of his face, jerking him out of
his trance. "Something cold?" she asked again. Nix could see the effect her
low sultry voice had on the man when he dropped the mug in his hands, the
glass shattering all over the floor. She just smiled.
Usually Nix enjoyed the effect she had men, especially human men. She would be
lying if she said it didn't boost her ego when they fell all over themselves
when she gave them just a hint of her attention. Tonight, it could be a
benefit to her plans.
Tonight, Nix had every intention of finding a human male and rocking his
world. She would face the consequences of her actions tomorrow. Tonight she
just wanted to forget. While the bartender cleaned up the broken glass then
hurried off to get Nix something cold to drink, she turned to survey the room.
Her
prospects didn't look good. In fact, they looked downright dismal. Most of the
men in the bar wouldn't even have garnered her interest if she didn't have an
itch to scratch tonight.
They
were too mesmerized by her presence.
Just
once, Nix wanted a man that wasn't bowled over by her looks. Usually having a
well endowed chest and a tight curvy ass, legs that went on forever, long
curly blond hair and deep blue eyes would be considered a blessing. Tonight?
Not so much.
Her
looks were what had gotten in her into this mess in the first place. However,
she wasn't above using her looks to get what she wanted and tonight she wanted
hot, steamy, fuck-me-until-I-can't-walk sex, and lots of it.
With
that thought uppermost in her mind, Nix grabbed the drink the bartender set
down on the bar and started moving through the room, taking measure of each
man present. By the time she had made it half way across the room Nix already
had thoughts of leaving.
While
she wanted for hot monkey sex with a complete stranger, a human at that, even
she had standards. Between the smell of stale beer and cigarettes, the
unshaven faces, and the leering looks she got, dismal might not even describe
her choices.
Just
as Nix started to turn towards the door, having every intention of finding a
different bar, she heard a low chuckle. The deep rumble sent a shudder of
delight through her body, starting at her head and ending in her toes and
hitting every erogenous zone in her body on the way down.
Nix
set her beer down on the nearest table as she tried to hone in on the source
of that chuckle. She tilted her head to one side and tucked her hair behind
her slightly pointed ear. Then she waited.
Her
reward came a moment later when she heard the voice that belonged to her
rumbling chuckle. It was quickly followed by an answering chuckle, this one
just as low, just as tingly, and just as sexy.
Both
were coming from the low lit area to the back of the bar. Ignoring the hands
reaching for her, the crude voices calling out to her Nix followed the sound
of those chuckles. She was intrigued, and suddenly ravenously aroused.
Nix
passed several tables until she reached a small set of steps leading up to
what seemed like a pool hall. Several men stood around a pool table. They were
a rough looking bunch dressed as they were in jeans and leather.
While
several of them might fit her purposes for tonight Nix was only interested in
the two that had sent a shiver of lust through her body. And she spotted them
almost immediately. They were impossible to miss.
One
leaned back against the wall, a beer bottle in one hand. The other hand hung
on his belt loop by a thumb. Faded jeans clung to his long thick legs. His
dark auburn hair fell in soft waves to the collar of his white cotton shirt.
His shirt stretched tight over his chest to the point Nix could make out every
sculpted muscle.
The
other man leaned over the pool table, a pool cue in his hand. His entire
concentration focused on the small round balls on the green felt top. From her
vantage point at the entrance to the pool hall, Nix could just make out the
dark chocolate brown of his eyes. Nix loved dark chocolate and she certainly
would mind finding out if he tasted just as good as he looked.
What
she wouldn't give to be standing behind the sexy man at this very moment. She
had no doubt with the way he was stretched out over the pool table that his
tight jeans would be molding his ass like a second skin.
Nix
wanted to see more, a lot more, and preferably without clothes. The beating in
Nix's chest thudded faster, an unusual reaction for Nix. Usually, she was the
one causing the rapid heartbeat. It was a sensation she wasn't sure she liked.
Still,
Nix wasn't about to give up an opportunity when it presented itself. And this
one was waving bright colorful flags all over the place. Nix expected to start
hearing a band playing a hallelujah chorus at any moment.
Walking up the steps, Nix slowly stepped into the low lit area. She knew the
minute the two men spotted her. Hell, she knew the minute every man there
spotted her. Instant arousal permeated the air like a thick cloak of fog. But
Nix was only concerned with the interested glances from the two men she had in
her sights.
"Can I
play?"
