Someone pressed himself against Michaela’s back, his hands
twining around her stomach. She felt his lips on her neck, his breath in her
ear. He said something, but Michaela couldn’t hear. Clark cocked an eyebrow at
her and moved away slightly to dance with a petite girl in a fox costume.
Michaela twisted in the man’s arms so that they were face to
face. He was tall and lanky and definitely human. The pupils of his eyes were
huge, dilated far beyond normal, and Michaela smelled the musky hint of drugs
seeping from his mouth. His hands roamed over her body, groping her ass.
There was no room to get away; the bodies in the middle of
the floor were pressed so close together. For a moment, panic flooded through
Michaela’s veins. Sure she could knock this guy out with one hit, but she
didn’t want to bring attention to herself. She looked around, realizing that
everyone was experiencing the same sort of free will she was. She had no clue
how the human girls dealt with this sort of invasion.
In her distraction, she didn’t realize the man in front of
her was about to kiss her until the second before his lips smashed into hers.
Immediately, his tongue pressed into her mouth, forcing her lips to part. His
tangy salvia pooled at the back of her throat and gagged her. His hand slid up
her side to fist around her breast.
In that appalling moment, Michaela realized two things. The
first being that Gabriel, who was very new to the whole sex thing, was very,
very good at the sex thing. And the second being…Gabriel.
He stood in all his tall, dark glory behind the man sucking
on Michaela’s tongue. Lifting his hand as if he was going to tap on the man’s
shoulder and ask to cut in, Gabriel pressed a finger onto on the man’s
shoulder, making him instantly sag to the floor. Gabriel pressed harder into
the pressure point on the guy’s neck until he was nearly on the floor and
completely disengaged from Michaela.
It was quiet and efficient. Gabriel righted the man and set
him aside before he made too much of a scene. In the mass of pulsing bodies and
underneath the flashing storm of rainbow lights, it was unnoticeable. The man
moved away, slightly stunned and confused, but without a backwards glance.
Michaela shrugged sheepishly at Gabriel’s blank stare. Only
because she was looking at his mouth was she able to read his lips as he spoke.
“Don’t kiss anyone else.”
