Nicholas & Kayla
Nicholas
The effects on Kayla were immediate; I had seen this particular drug used before and could tell instantly from the sudden change in her scent and the way her pupils dilated. She turned to me and placed a hand on my chest.
“Nicholas…”
I cursed under my breath. Scorpio had acted faster than I anticipated. When I glanced up, she was gone.
Thankfully, there was still time. But not much. Scorpio had to be caught, but first I needed to get Kayla out of here before there was a scene.
“Come on,” I said firmly, wrapping an arm around her waist to steady her. “We need to get you somewhere safe.”
She leaned into me, her body warm and pliant. As I guided her through the crowd, I tried to act natural, offering polite nods to guests who glanced our way.
