Chapter thirty-nine

A buzz vibrates against my left boob, where I stashed my phone. I pull it out.

It’s a little after midnight now.

The fuck?

I turn to Bobbie, ready to snap, but she’s gone.

She broke protocol. Walked out.

We never separate at a club. Not here. Not on Bourbon.

But then again… Anonymous.

I get it. Sort of.

Still, my gut tightens.

I shove back into the crowd, frantic, jumping to catch sight of her. Nothing. No flash of red dress.

So I look up.

The balcony.

Anonymous is there. Tense.

Eyes locked on the floor. He’s about to jump .

Shit.

I shove harder, brushing my back pocket to check the stun gun. Still there. Fully juiced.

I break through the wall of bodies and spot her.

Bobbie. Frozen mid-step.

There’s a guy behind her, grinding like a creep. But the look on her face stops me cold. Eyes wide. Mouth open. Not shocked. In shock.

His hand is through the cutout near her hip. Moving lower. Obscene.

My stomach turns.

“Motherfucker!” I scream, the word swallowed by bass.

I duck and weave, shoulder through the last row of dancers. I move low and fast, yank the stun gun from my pocket, flip the switch.

I aim for the forearm still inside her dress.

Zap.

The crackle lights up. He jerks back.

Bobbie stumbles away, dress tearing at the seam, one arm across her chest.

I grab her. Steady her.

Then I look behind me.

And see it.

His dick is out. Out.

He’s been humping her. Literally. In public.

Something inside me breaks.

I screech, some rabid, unholy battle cry mixed with a “Kai-yah,” and zap him again. Dead center on his swinging, stupid worm.

He drops in a pile. Right where shit belongs.

And I lose it.

Kick. Right to the flaccid shame stick.

Stomp. On the hand he dared to touch her with.

I jump. I may be short, but I land a heel to his face.

I don’t hear the crunch, but I feel it echo up my leg.

He’s not moving .

Good.

I lean down, panting, hair stuck to my face. My voice is cold, sharp, aimed.

“Try it again and I’ll shove my hand down your pants and this stunner up your ass. I’ll hold it until you piss yourself. Worthless piece of shit.”
