“Sure was, I’ll be right back.” I slap his shoulder and turn to head down to the restroom.

I’ve never been this hard in my life.

I guess mysterious flaming sword wheelers do it for me. New kink unlocked, Lucas. I chuckle as I struggle to pee and not spray myself since the fucker won’t go down.

I wash my hands and push the door open.

The smell of lighter fluid hits me, and I spin around in time to see the dancer sidestepping me.

“Hey, little ninja, beautiful performance.” I watch as she slows her steps as I talk.

“Grazie,” it’s barely a whisper.

Mm, Italian. I didn’t see that coming. She opens a door and slams it shut, and I go back up to find Gavin with his head in the bartender’s boobs.

“Hey! What the fuck Gavin.” I pull him back, and he grins with a test-tube shot glass in-between his lips.

I roll my eyes and sit back down on my stool.

“You need to relax, solider. How about another round?” I shake my head.

“I’m the DD, but thanks. How about a soda?” She smiles and pours me one, and drops a cherry on top.

A loud crash catches my attention, and I wince when I see a bouncer hauling some guy out the front door.

“Sucks to be him,” Gavin says from behind me, but my eyes are stuck on the group of men who sneak in while everyone isn’t looking.

They pass us and head upstairs to the VIP section without anyone escorting them. The last man in the line sneers at me when he catches me looking, and I blow him a kiss which turns his face red.

“Problem?” He stops and says.

I see a tattoo peaking out from his collar on his neck. One I recognize and know means trouble. We’ve run into the Yakuza in the past, so their symbol isn’t foreign to me, but to test my theory, I answer him in Japanese.

“???,” his eyes widen, and I turn my back on him.

I picked up a lot living in Japan over the last few years.

So I know my actions are the ultimate sign of disrespect, but it also shows I know who and what he is, and more importantly, that he does not scare me. I watch in the mirror behind the bar as he reaches for a weapon and then thinks better of it, turning to follow his fellow members upstairs.

“Fuck. Gavin, switch to water. I may need your head in the game.” I look over at him, but he has his tongue down the bartender’s mouth.

Great, guess I’m on my own tonight if trouble starts. Shit, did I actually just think that?

Sure did.

GIANNA

I’m back on the main floor in my regular clothes and smiling at customers. I check in with Bruno, and just as I suspected, fucking Daiki, Haru Yakimoto’s henchman, is upstairs in my fucking VIP section.

I glare at the son of a bitch as he laughs and carries on with his entourage. I pull out my phone and open a new text. I can feel trouble brewing in my bones. So, I might as well let Ciana know now, so my job is easier later.

Yakimoto’s man Daiki is sipping champagne in my VIP section.

How the fuck did he get in?

Unknown. Bruno was occupied kicking out some punk.
