We’re all seated in Lennox’s office. Eugene didn’t have to be here, but he is. We’re discussing Lennox’s schedule. I think that he shouldn’t go anywhere until this is all settled. This obviously doesn’t please him, but I don’t care about pleasing him. He’s blackmailing me to protect him, not make him happy. I don’t care what he thinks. I must keep his dumbass safe until we are able to find out who is after him. Doesn’t he realise this?

“I understand that serial killers are after me…” Lennox starts on his bullshit again.

I don’t think that he gets it.

If he really understood how serious this is, he would agree to stay at only my place, and not go anywhere else. Not even his office. Even though he now has a bullet proof car, all these men need is a mere second. He is weak and easy to kill; he is just lucky that he is smart.

“But I don’t want to live my life like a prisoner.” Lennox finishes, folding his arms across his chest, “it’s not right and I want to live a good life.”

“It’s only for a little while.” Holly tries to comfort him, “Silas can guard you, but you still have to take necessary precautions.”

“Fine.” Lennox sighs, pouting a little bit, “I guess it makes sense.”

Leave it to Holly to talk some sense into him.

“But before I sign my life away… I want to go somewhere.” Lennox peeks up at me with those hopeful eyes, “just for tonight.”

Not enough sense got into him apparently.

“Where?” Eugene asks, tilting his head to the side because he is obviously confused.

Lennox smiles wickedly. He didn’t have to say anything.

Eugene shakes his head, as if he is done with Lennox’s shit, “you’ve got to be kidding me.”

I glance at Holly to see if she understands what is going on, but she just shrugs. I have this bad feeling that Lennox is going to say something ridiculous. I wouldn’t put it past him.

“So, where?” Holly asks again.

“A club.” Eugene answers her.

Well, it’s obvious none of Holly’s sense talk got to Lennox.

“A club?” Holly turns to face Lennox, “do you not care about your life at all?”

“Of course, I do.” Lennox protests, as if it is really that simple, “I don’t want to just throw my life away because someone wants to kill me.”

Well, I would hope so. It really doesn’t seem like it though. I think that he might have a death wish. I think it is quite dumb that he would want to go to a club. A club is not something that he needs.

“But I’m about to be restricted to only two places for God knows how long… I just want to go out tonight before I sign my life over to you two.” Lennox grumbles, sounding a bit irritated with everything going on, “I’d like to get dick, but I doubt that’ll happen, so I’ll have to settle for something else.”

He’s always so dramatic. I don’t know how any man could handle him. He is honestly too much, and I wonder how he has even had relationships. I feel bad for them.

“Besides, didn’t you say Silas is going to guard me?” Lennox continues, looking at me once again, “shouldn’t he be guarding me with what I want to do?”

They all turn to look at me. It’s times like this that I wish I had killed Lennox that night. Just because I’m protecting him doesn’t mean that I need him to be going out and doing unnecessary shit. But maybe this will finally make him shut up. I guess I can use him for my own desires.

“Just tonight?” I ask him, and he nods rapidly.

He seems really eager. Just for one night… What could possibly go wrong? Maybe it’ll get him to shut up and stop complaining. It would be really nice.

“Fine, we will go to the club.” I decide to give in, hoping I don’t regret it.

His face lights up like a kid on a Christmas morning, “YAY! I’m so excited. I haven’t been dancing in so long! I know I could have scored tonight but maybe you’ll keep me…”

“But after tonight, you’re going to listen to everything I say.” I make it clear to him, having to lay down the boundaries so he doesn’t get any smart ideas,  “everywhere you go must be approved of by me first, got it? Do not even try to protest or I will lock you away and throw away the key.”

He nods rapidly, “yes, I got it. You don’t have to worry about me.”

“Holly, check out the club.” I tell her, causing her to nod, “make sure it’s safe.”

“It’s safe.” Lennox tries to assure, but I just glare at him.

“Holly would still need to go check it out.” I explained to him, already feeling agitated, “besides, I do not trust you.”

“Okay.” He whispers, deciding to be a little obedient finally.

Holly walks out and Eugene follows, going after her like a little puppy. I wonder what’ll come from that, but Holly is just not someone who would settle down. I know how she is; it is as simple as that. I doubt that nerd would win her over either way.

“I didn’t think you’d agree.” Lennox admits to me, fiddling with his fingers, “why did you?”

“I give you one night, and I get you to obey my every order until we are done here.” I murmur, shrugging my shoulders, “I think it is a fair trade.”

I leave Lennox to think about what he had just signed up for. It’s kind of funny to see him messing around like that, making me want to play with him now. He doesn’t know what I am capable of, and I’ll do everything to make sure that this time, he will have no choice but to submit.
