"I must say." Sotza smoothly slid into the booth next to Vee. He shifted until he was sitting so close his thigh was brushing hers. "I wasn't expecting to dine with such a charming companion this evening."
Vee kept her face as neutral as possible and purposefully slid a few inches away from him. She lifted her water glass and took a sip before carefully placing it back on the table. It took effort to make sure her hand didn't shake, that she didn't accidentally spill the water. She was sitting next to one of the most dangerous men in the world, and though she could be pretty vicious herself, she couldn't hold a candle to him. She boldly studied him, allowing the silence to linger. She'd asked for this meeting so that she could finally take back a little control.
Everything about him piss
