Here's an exclusive excerpt of "Escape into Darkness" in the Lust Bites ebook available at XciteBooks.com
This place did seem to pulse with an energy none of the other clubs had. I didn't dare let that flicker of hope rise inside me, though. I had been disappointed too many times before.
I scanned the crowd some more until my eyes landed on a large but lean, godlike man sitting at the bar. Dark waves of silky hair flowed away from a face that seemed to be chiseled out of stone. Fiery green eyes burned into me as his gaze met mine. I felt a sense of recognition but did not know why. Surely I would have remembered this man if I had met him before.
He motioned to a waitress and I looked away from him. I suddenly felt shy and didn‟t want him to get the wrong idea. I was lost in a daze when the waitress put a drink in front of me.
"What's this? I didn't order anything," I said to the busty blonde cocktail waitress wearing very red lipstick, red high heels and not much else.
She smiled and replied, "It's something special from Devlin."
"Who's Devlin?" I asked.
"He's the owner of the place; he's sitting at the bar over there, the one with the dark hair, emerald eyes, and muscle-bound body. I'm sure you noticed him, he doesn't exactly blend into a crowd."
"No … he doesn't," I murmured as I turned to give a smile of thanks to Devlin, but he was gone.
The waitress walked away giggling and jiggling as I took a sip of the strange looking green drink.
I woke up in a dark, dank place. It was cold and musty; I reasoned that it must be some kind of basement. I heard pulsating music coming from above me. Then I remembered that I had been in a club. I must be under it now. But how did I get here? The last thing I remembered was a waitress bringing me a strange drink that she said was from Devlin, the sexy hunk and owner of the club who had been sitting at the bar. After that everything went blank … until now.
