“Open it later, not right now, not here.” Our eyes connected, hers suddenly so vulnerable it made my chest tighten.

Tucking the note into my pocket, I opened the door and walked out into the club. Berlin was watching me as I walked away, twisting her toe uncomfortably into the floor.

“Bentley, I'm so glad you made it.” Virgo was waiting outside the door, his hand stretched out for me to shake.

Giving him a firm handshake, I didn't smile. “Virgo, how are you?”

“Good, I'm really good. I see you've indulged yourself with our finest dancer.” Winking, his smile thinned into a sick grin.

Glancing over my shoulder, Berlin stood in shock, her face white as a ghost.

She didn't expect I'd be meeting her boss.

But she would have found out sooner or later, it wasn't a secret that would last for long.

Because monsters don't stay under the bed forever.
