A deep frown covered my face as Verena reached her hand out to one of the waiters holding a tray of Tequila shots, before her hand could reach out to grab a shot glass, I pulled her hand away leading her off of the dancefloor. "Eryx, why did you do that", Verena tooted her glossy pink lips up at me as we made it to a table far away from the general public while five of my trusted men including Tirian and Arlo stood side by side patrolling the area making sure that partygoers kept their distance as well as to observe the scenery of the room. 

Never could I be too careful because it was Halloween night I wasn't taking any chances and made sure to ramp up on security within the hotel's premises and surrounding areas. Once Verena sits down in her chair, I place my hand on her cheek looking into her eyes to see if she is drunk. She smacks my hand away playfully. 

"I'm not drunk. Just a little tipsy that is all". I noticed how many Tequila shots Verena was taking while we dancing and it did little to decrease my concern for her. I believe you were quite intoxicated and tried to downplay further, but I was not having it. I quickly jump out of my seat, "I'm going to get you a plate of food to help sober you up". 

Verena looks quite annoyed as she rolls her eyes at me before she turns her head away from me suddenly Arsenio comes to the table and keeps my girl company while I am fixing her a full plate of food. I made it to the front of the line and made sure to give praises and thanks to all of the caterers I hired for tonight. My mouth watered as I took notice of crispy chicken club sandwiches and crispy waffle fries. 

I make sure to make a plate for myself and then load up Verena's plate with smoked salmon on rye, pumpkin macaroons, greasy grilled hamburger from Sammy's, as well as a cup of warm apple cider. Just as I turned around made eye contact with a woman I had been staying far away from for the past several months, Karisma. 

She looked like a sexy vixen, wearing a black halo crown, a strapless black corset that barely covered her areolas, and a pair of black sheer stockings that showcased her ample ass in a thong that left little to nothing to the imagination. She twists her hips left and right before she reaches for one of the waffle fries on my plate. 

"Surprise to see you here Eryx", she says in between bites of her eating. I glare down at her as I get my back straight and my hands balance both the warm plate and mug that are tucked firmly against my arms. "Can't say the same". I then try to excuse myself by walking around Karisma, but she places her hand against my arm. 

"You been parading around town with that young ass girl and don't like it. You are supposed to be my man, not hers". Karisma raises her voice with each word she spews out of her mouth. People around us take notice of our interaction. One thing I do not like is for someone to try to make a fool out of me in public. I have sworn to never put my hands on any female, but Karisma is making that quite difficult with her dramatic antics. If she was a man I would have Arlo and Tirian drag her outside behind the building and then I would proceed to cut their tongue out of their mouth for using it to make me look bad. I was glad I cut her ass off and stop fucking with her. 

I decided to refrain from saying anything else to Karisma because I did not trust what my next actions might be toward her. She follows behind me as I walk to the table. Verena is laughing at Arsenio but her smile quickly turns into a glare when she takes notice of Karisma standing next to me. I place our plates on the table, and Verena doesn't take her eyes off Karisma who stares back at her in challenge. 

"Cherie, I can explain". Verena gets up from her seat and moves in front of me as I place my hand around her waist, but she pushes it off. "No need to explain, I have it from here". Karisma frowns with a look of discomfort on her face.
