The bartender raised an eyebrow at the girl as she set a box on the counter of his bar. \u201cYou\u2019re that Summer girl, right?\u201d he asked absently, and then nodded as he stepped away to find his employer. Several minutes later, he returned, \u201cVex\u2019ll be out momentarily.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

And several moments later, the Mesmer appeared, walking over to where Summer stood at the bar. He was dressed in his finest. \u201c\u2018Ello, Precious,\u201d he greeted, \u201cYa called?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Vex had taken a seat again on the leather couch, cracking open the bottle. At her question, he shrugged, \u201cProbably would, but I \u2018aven\u2019t \u2018ad a good beer in months. Seemed worth it.\u201d He didn\u2019t drink beer often, had to be in the right mood, but when he did, it was expensive and delicious. \u201cThere\u2019s wine in the fridge too, if you were interested,\u201d he added as an after-thought.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Vex shrugged at that, \u201cFair \u2018nough.\u201d He watched as she tucked the knife and spoon behind her back, raising an eyebrow in curiosity. \u201cAnd just \u2018ow do you suggest I do that, Precious?\u201d he asked in a purring voice.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She put one knee on the leather beside him. “You must have something you can offer in trade.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
