Micah actually pulled me away from her. I let him do it. I was so astounded at the rudeness of it that I was speechless. I wasn't even angry yet; it was too unexpected. Too rude.
Auggie ordered her to kneel, and when she didn't do it fast enough, he forced her. «Apologize, now!» His power filled the room like cold water, shivering along my skin.
«Why am I a whore, when his wife is pimping out her own sons, and this one is fucking everything and everyone that will stand still?»
«Benny,» he said in a very quiet voice. I knew that tone of voice. It's the careful, controlled one you use when you're afraid of what you'll do if you yell.
The only vampire he'd brought with him moved around the couch to stand beside him. «Yeah, boss.»
«Take her out of here. Get on a plane, take her back to Chicago, help her pack. Make sure she takes only what belongs to her.»
Bunny's eyes went wide. «No, Auggie, no, I didn't mean it. I'm sorry.»
He moved away, so she couldn't touch him. She tried to crawl after him, but Benny grabbed her arm. «Come on, Bunny, we gotta plane to catch.»
She was human, and in five-inch heels, but she put up a fight. Benny was having trouble getting her to the door without hurting her. She'd proven to the entire room that she was naked under the tiny dress.
I said, «Claudia.»
She came to me, all serious, the bodyguard's bodyguard. «Pick someone, or two someones, to help Benny get her out of here.»
Claudia nodded, almost a bow, and said, «Fredo, Clay, help our guest out.»
Fredo pushed himself from the wall, all boneless ease like some dark, well-armed cat. Clay just took Bunny's other arm, and helped Benny start carrying her toward the door. She used the spike heels effectively, probably drawing blood through Clay's pants. He never slowed, and neither did Benny, though his face was bleeding from nail marks. Fredo got both her ankles, and they carried her out.
Auggie gave me a very low bow. «I don't know what to say, Anita. I'm sorry that I brought her. I knew she was jealous, but not crazy jealous.»
«Jealous?» I made it a question.
«She, like Samuel's Thea, is very competitive around other women.»
I frowned at him. «So she and Thea were like trying to outbitch each other?»
He looked at me. «You really don't understand why she didn't like you from the moment you stepped into the room, do you?»
Micah drew me in against his body, hugging me one-armed. I looked back and forth from one to the other of them.
