.IfI didn t level it out the night would end early with me passed out.A deep breath later, I was myself. You re a good dancer, I smirked. You aren t too shabby yourself. Simon gave me a twirl and we returned to the table.I couldn t assess the look on Justus.While had had two girls pawing on him, he appeared to beoblivious to everything except me and Simon walking off of that dance floor.***Several hours and drinks later, flirtatious dancing had escalated into more serious matters forsome couples.Seduction was a heavy perfume penetrating the club.Once you stripped away civilizedbehavior, humans were no less primitive than animals when it came down to it.Justus was in a more private area of the room, led away by the women who became greedywanting him all to themselves.Simon kept me company the entire evening with interesting stories andplenty of laughs; our moment on the dance floor was likely nothing more than misdirected energy.I popped the last mozzarella stick in my mouth savoring that delicious deep-fried goodness thatalways tastes better when you ve been drinking.I licked the tip of my finger watching a woman runher fingers through the silky strands of her straight black hair, a visual request that Justus could notignore. Women haven t a prayer, you know. Simon leaned forward and knocked back another shot ofTequila.He grimaced and the glass tapped on the smooth tabletop that was littered with emptyglasses, straws, cherry stems and crumbs. For what? I asked. Your Ghuardian over there, he shouted over the music before leaning in closer. He s aCharmer, that one.That s why they re drawn to him. Like a bee charmer? I rolled my head back laughing. You could definitely say that, love.It s one of his gifts, one a Mage cannot easily hide and notmany have.He releases a certain kind of vibe that is seductive and irresistible, a magnet that draws insexual energy.He can t turn it off either. You re telling me he s a sex magnet?I laughed so loud it drew attention from a nearby table. That explains a whole lot.Okay, so ifthat s true then how come the men aren t all over him too? I thought my question was justified, sincewhen does energy discriminate?Simon smirked, running his thumb over his bottom lip. I don t know his magic, of course thatisn t to say that he hasn t had the occasional bloke or two wander over, depends on which teamthey re batting for I suppose, he said winking. Chemistry, protons, electrons, voodoo&  heshrugged.I tucked my chin neatly in my palm. Well I m immune.Even when we first met I was the onlygirl in there that wasn t having an illicit mental affair with him. My grin widened. I think that reallypissed him off too.He s got a certain lure about him, he s handsome, but I guess I m not feelingwhatever vibe he s sending out.There was a sexual frenzy unraveling near Justus.One of the girls was stroking his stomach as ifshe might get a wish.Meanwhile, he continued talking like he was telling the most interesting story. Yes, that is quite the curiosity.I ve noticed that about you two, Simon said to himself as hecircled his finger around the rim of a short glass. You realize that s why he doesn t know how tobehave properly with you? He s a cad because he can t trust women; they re too drawn to himsexually for him to know if it s genuine.That bloke has a wall around him with a moat, and yet thereis he is talking up a storm as if they even cared what came out of his mouth.I feel a bit sorry for him. So that s why he acts like a manwhore?Simon laughed into his glass spitting out some of his drink. I ll tell him you said so. Please do. What I mean is, it s not unlike being rich; most women like you for your money but how do youreally know when they like you? His charm is his curse; he s never had a real friendship with awoman so he doesn t know how to treat them.He s got his hands full with you, that one I bet youhave him stirring in his boots. He looked thoughtfully in Justus s direction and began to mutter tohimself,  Maybe this will do him some good having a female Learner immune to those charms of his. Maybe it only works on his type, which I am not. I pointed my head at the newly formed haremof big-breasted vixens, before I rolled my eyes back. You re everyone s type, you ve got a charm of your own, he said, letting his voice slide to aseductive purr. You don t know me very well then. Let s remedy that, shall we?The dimple in his cheek winked as he gave a playful grin.Suddenly the lights went dark and the there was a blue laser flashing, I started to buzz andneeded to remove myself from this predicament before I ended up electrocuting half the city as Iwatched Simon s pierced tongue run over his teeth.Too much alcohol would only lead to regrettedmistakes. I ll be back. I popped up out of my chair and tried to focus on the path to the bathroom.It waspacked tight with only seven stalls, so there was a bit of a wait in line.Girls stood in front of themirror in their tightest skirts and Band-Aid tops, leaning forward to plump up their lips and applymore perfume.Nothing like a nasal assault in a sweaty club to get the guys going.Eventually, I madeit to the finish line and squirmed through a sea of silicone to head back.I pushed against the crowd in the hall that had grown exponentially in just the past few hours.Iawkwardly bumped into a couple making out and they hardly noticed.Shit [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
