come back again. Do we have an understanding?”
    With all the squeezing , he could only manage a simple nod and I released him. Just as I let him go, Rick lunged at me and this time it was Dale’s turn to grab him and choke slam him. Then Dale forcefully escorted him out. Pleased with myself, I looked at the girl at the door and turned to leave. But not right before Jared’s door opened. This was my cue.
    “Sloane , wait. Please, let me explain.”
    My thoughts went to heading for the bathroom and locking myself inside. I knew my eyes would be changing, so I had to make it fast. Making my way through the crowd, I glanced back at Shay who was looking at me with a questioning gleam in her eyes. I pointed to the bathroom and she just nodded her head. With everything going on I hadn’t noticed the club was almost full. At least this would slow Jared down. As soon as I got to the bathroom, I slammed the door right in his face and locked the door. I stared at myself in the mirror and suddenly I couldn’t deal with it anymore. With Jared beating on the door and with everything that had happened.
    I picked up the metal trash can and threw it against the mirror. The beating against the door stopped. I stood there and tried to get a grip. When I felt my pulse slow, I looked down at a piece of the mirror that was still hanging. My eyes were just emerald green. No traces of red, so I was good. I needed to get out of this bathroom before I went nuts again. Why did I react like that? I already knew Jared was the way he was and I already knew Rick was a low life. Maybe it was time for a vacation. Opening the door, I was greeted by Jared looking over my shoulder.
    “What the hell did you do?”
    “Oh, um, yeah. You can just take it out of my check.” I tried to push past him, but he wouldn’t let me.
    “ Sloane, please let me explain.”
    “Explain what? You are the boss. So you have sex with some of your employees. This isn’t new to anyone.”
    “Yea h, but the look on your face said something different, like you wanted something.”
    I started to tell him how bad he screwed himself over with ever having a chance with me and I even considering telling him I thought about it. But just as I was about to open my mouth, I saw a pair of familiar eyes. They appeared over Jared’s shoulder and they made me forget my train of thought.
    It was Viktor.
    “Sloane, are you OK?” Viktor asked, just as Jared realized I wasn’t staring at him.
    “I’m sorry , who are you?” Jared was in alpha mode.
    “I’m Viktor, and you?”
    “Jared. Do you mind, because we are in the middle of something?”
    “Actually , we’re done,” I stated dryly, looking at Jared and making sure he knew what I’d said was a double meaning. Stepping around and grabbing Viktor’s arm, I looked back at Jared. “You were right. I did want something, but now all I want is a vacation.” Jared knew just what I meant.
    Walking back through the crowd and behind the bar , I motioned for Viktor to meet me on the other side. “Pick your poison.”
    “I’ ll have a beer. Any kind will do.”
    I reached into the cooler and pulled out the first one my hand touched. It was a Coors Light. Great light beer , I thought to myself. I set it down in front of him and gave him a quick wink before serving my next customer.
    “So , are you going to tell me what that was all about?” I guess he thought that smile would work with me. He was obviously mistaken.
    “None of your damn business.” I smiled back at him just as devilish and batted my eyes.
    “Ouch,” he said , as he rubbed his chest as if I’d pierced his heart.
    “I don’t know you. What makes you think I will tell you anything?”
    “Well , for starters, we are neighbors. Aren’t neighbors supposed to be friendly?” There he went again flashing that grin.
    “Wow , neighbors for like, what, three hours?”
    “Oh , come on, Sloane. Don’t be like that. If you didn’t somewhat like or trust me, you
