“I don’t seem to have a choice in the matter, do I, Mr. Welton?” Anya wasn’t interested in sharing a meal with the man at all.

“Shouldn’t you thank me for what I did for you just now? If I hadn’t turned up, you would’ve gotten yourself into a lot of trouble.” The cigarette between Evan’s slender fingers was a burst of orange light in the shadows while the man was a dark, looming silhouette that blended into the night. Anya found herself staring stupidly at the young man, unable to look away.

She blinked hard and tugged her mind back to the present. He was right. He had saved her. Her words rushed out of her lips. “Not today. Let’s do dinner another day.”

“Do you have another appointment?” Evan was convinced that Anya was simply finding an excuse to get herself out of having dinner with him. She didn’t want to have dinner with him. He tapped his cigarette lightly and made his way slowly towards the young woman.

His bodyguards stepped away and faded back into the shadows as Evan stepped up to Anya.

They were alone now.

Evan leaned into Anya. His breath mingled with hers in the night. “You must have heard of Shane and what he does to women. What were you thinking when you decided to accept his invitation to dinner?”

“He’s ruined countless women. I think most people have stopped counting by now. Were you interested in becoming one of those women?” Evan placed a finger under Anya’s soft chin. His voice rang loudly in Anya’s ear. “Compared to Shane, I’m a much gentler lover.”

He was used to having his way but he wasn’t a pervert.

He wasn’t interested in perverse fetishes and in maiming women in bed.

Anya, Shane and Evan were of the same beastly ilk.
