Chapter 318: A New Trick
The looks of lust on the men and women inside of the conference room weren’t ones that I was unfamiliar with. However, instead of the looks being directed toward me, they were staring at Tank as if they had found some sort of priceless treasure.
Removing my hand from his back, the flames quickly died out, and Tank rolled his eyes as he looked over at me. "It’s okay, baby," I purred, scratching him behind the ear. "Let’s see who else can light your fire... hum?"
Now, I never claimed to be a rational person, so it should come as no surprise to anyone that I was already planning on where to dig the grave of anyone who was able to control the Hellhound.
Tank was mine, and I wasn’t sharing. The rest of the world would just have to get caught up on that fact.
"You need to leave," advised Jonas as he turned his smug smile toward me. "I don’t want you manipulating any of the results just to win our bet."
"Shouldn’t I be saying that to you?" I asked, somewhat confused. "After all, it’s all your words against mine if you don’t manage to ignite Tank. You have way more to lose than I have to gain at the end of the day."
"I’ve never had anyone question my word," hissed Jonas like I had just threatened to fuck his dead father.
"I’m staying here," I announced with a bright smile on my face. "But in order to be fair, I’ll go stand in the corner, okay?"
Getting out of the chair, I knelt down in front of Tank. "Don’t get hurt. This bet isn’t worth anything happening to you. If someone gets a little too handsy, let them know exactly what you can do. Okay? No matter what happens, I can clean up any mess that you make."
