CHAPTER 27 – RICHARD
The rage that's jabbing at every inch of my nerves is rather monstrous. And if whoever just spilled his drink on me doesn't have a fucking valid reason, I just might snap his neck. I don't care. I've had enough frustrating moments to last the night. I don't need to endure this bullshit.
"Are you fucking blind or what?!"
"I'm so sorry…I'm sorry, I didn't·" the voice stops talking.
My rage drops a notch as I see who the words are from. It's a female. A sexy human female. Not a werewolf.
She's drunk, like fucking tipsy, and even though she's trying to be steady, she keeps slipping and bumping into random bodies.
I'm not sore how seeing a drunk, sexy human should make me feel, but right now, I'm fucking pissed and it's all thanks to her whiskey drenching my outfit. The fact that she's almost naked despite her black lace shorts and the lacy top doesn't suffice my rage. It didn't even get my dick hard. Irritation is all I feel right now.
She's staring deep into my eyes and she seems…frozen? I move my head backward, so as not to directly inhale the whiff from her mouth. It's a dead mixture of whiskey and cums. Seems like she's been doing some naughty shit before wandering down here and fucking me up.
"Richard…Riggo?" Her voice comes up again, shaky and slurry. Her eyes are wide and taking me in all at once. Like she would wanna gobble me up. Her bold display of lust for me stirs up my rage and I flip.
"Oh, I see what you did there." I chuckle dryly, dabbing at the weakness with a handkerchief. "This was all an act to get my attention, wasn't it?"
"What?"
"This. You, bumping into me and spilling your shit on me. It was all an act, wasn't it? You knew who I was. You wanted my attention and…my dick?"
"Dude, what the hell?" Ray hisses behind me, tapping my shoulder.
"What?" I egg her on, with puckered brows. "Am I wrong?"
"I didn't spill my drink on you on purpose. It was all an accident…"
"Yeah, right. Just admit it. You are one hell of a desperate bitch who would do anything to get the attention of any random hottie sitting at the bar…"
"Richard!"
"Right?" I continue being an ass to the drunk bitch, ignoring Ray's caution calls.
"I don't know what you talking about," she slurs and comes closer to me. "Just let me wipe off the whiskey…" she tries touching me.
"Get your dirty hands off me!" I bark, slapping her hands away. It's rather too forceful and she falls on her stomach on the bar stool. That brought about a few gasps from the small audience we garnered.
"Richard, for fuck's sake!" Ray steps in front of me, giving me a slight push on my chest. "What the hell has gotten over you?!"
"Nothing! Except I don't want her touching me,"
"Then tell her that nicely, not getting almost physical with her. You know how much scandal what you just did is gonna stir up?!"
"I don't fucking care. Just tell her that I don't want her human hands on my body. It's that simple."
"You've gone nuts." Ray shakes his head in disbelief. "I think we should get the hell out of here before you do worse things."
He tries dragging me out but I slip out of his hold as a group of human males gathered around the girl. Two of them help her up, and the others are glaring at me.
"Why did you do that to her, jackass?!" One of them asks in a pissed tone.
"What are you, her knights in shining armor?" I scoff in disdain. "You should try to keep her on a leash. So she doesn't go about spilling drinks on people."
"I think we already do have a problem. So why don't we settle it out?" Another of them says, clenching his fist.
"By all means." I straighten my shoulder, ready to knock the last air out of them. "You wanna come at me all at once or are you taking turns?!"
"Jesus Christ, dude!" Ray pulls my arms but I shrug off his hold. "If you lay a hand on them, your company is gonna be in the mud tomorrow."
"Doesn't matter. Someone has to teach these stupid humans some lessons!" I remain defiant, waiting for them to make the first attack.
One of the burly men charges toward me and launches a punch at me, but I evade it. With my tight fist, I aim at his cheek but my hand hangs midway as someone steps in front of me.
"Okay, that's enough!" The voice yells. Another feminine voice.
I bring my hand down, sweeping my gaze over her body. She's dressed like a stripper. The most erotic stripper I've ever seen. Everything about her was on fleek. Even the mask that's hiding her face from sight.
I could be wrong, I could be fucking wrong but her voice sounds rather familiar. Like…
"Get out!" She seethes, pointing at the exit. "And try not to come back here. You not welcome here anymore."
"What?" I'm taken aback by the spite in her tone and her audacity. No one, not even from the other world, has ordered me like this. And the fact that she's just some lowly human increases the burn I feel from her words.
"I said, get out. I don't care who you think you are but you had no right to lay a finger on my friend. Get the hell out! Or I'm gonna ask the bouncers to drag your stupid ass out!"
"What?!"
"No. No need for that. We were just leaving." Ray quickly says, dragging me firmly now.
My eyes are fixed on the stripper-human as I let Ray drag me out. She's firmly returning my glare through her mask, and I badly wanna tear that mask off her face. Who the fuck is she?!
I'm all shades of angry, furious, and fucking aroused. And it all thanks to the random human in stripper attire. Leaving isn't the best choice right now. I should stick around a little more, blast her for her rudeness, tear that mask off her face, figure out how she could speak to me with such disdain, and then maybe…just maybe, I could consider fucking a human.
But too late for that, 'cause I'm already outside with Ray and we're both heading to the car.
"You've gone nuts, man!" Ray blasts me as we get to the car. "You've gone fucking nuts! How could you do that?! What the hell were you thinking?!"
"Dude, that's enough…" I sigh, shutting my eyes briefly as I feel my head thumping from his unrestrained yells.
"It's far from being enough. Do you know how many scandals you just stirred up back there?! The humans are gonna eat you out on the internet tomorrow. How do you plan on handling that??!"
I rub at my temples, trying to ease the crazy thumping in my head. He fucking has to stop yelling or my head is gonna blow up.
"What happened to you last night?!" Ray continues his yells. "You woke up a completely different person. You've been totally crazy today."
"Have I?" I mutter, with a wince. My head.
"The fuck you have!" Ray cusses. "First, your fashion taste changed. Tuxedos and suits now make you wanna puke. You'd rather move around dressed like a…"
"A what?"
"A commoner." He finishes his statement. "And your car taste changed too. You threatened the Russians into giving us more time. You don't remember anything about your life. You let me fuck your human secretary. You even fucked an Omega! And now, this? You're fighting with humans in a nightclub?! What the hell got into you today?! I've never been so stressed out hanging around you like I've been today!"
The thumping in my head hit its peak and I wince loudly, trying to chill. His yells only infuriate me, and I turn to him with bloodshot eyes.
"I don't owe you an explanation, Ray! But you better best believe that this is the Richard you gonna be dealing with from now on. And I'm gonna make more stupid mistakes. I'm gonna make a whole lot of bad decisions. I'm gonna fuck more hoes when my dick gets hard. And if that's too much for you to put up with, then quit being my Beta! I've lost you once, I think I can go through that pain again. And guess what, I'll be fine alone."
"Whoa." Ray gasps. "Who are you? 'Cause literally, you not the Richard I know. And what do you mean by 'you've lost me once'?"
I refuse to answer his questions, so I ignore him and get into the car. I might have been unable to ride it in the morning. But after watching him drive it all day, I picked up a little knowledge about it. And then there's the GPS that can help me find my way home.
Ray can stay here all night. I don't give a fuck. And I sure as hell don't need him! He's only gonna betray me later, so why should I keep him close?!
