The men around him laughed and clapped and the music boomed but Taurex barely noticed. He was too busy forcing himself to hold still when what he really wanted to do was grab this human woman and carry her away someplace private. That would be wrong, he knew—the humans would not be pleased. But he couldn’t help it—she stirred him in a way no other female ever had.
What was it about her? Was it her scent? Her curves? He couldn’t explain it, but he couldn’t fight it either. It was all he could do to stay in his seat and keep his hands to himself.
After grinding against him for what felt like an eternity while he remained frozen in his chair, the curvy human woman turned to lean over him again.
“There you go, sugar,” she breathed in his ear. “I hope you enjoyed yourself.”
“Fuck yes, I did,” Taurex growled. And then, he couldn’t stop himself. He leaned forward and looked into her eyes. “I want more.”

TERRA
The huge Minotaur Monstrum surprised her with his intensity. Looking into his golden eyes, Terra felt a shiver run down her spine. He’d been so stiff during the dance she was sure he wasn’t enjoying himself. But now he was looking at her like she was a delectable feast, and he was starving to death.
“Well…” she said, feeling breathless for some reason. “I guess we could go into the VIP lounge if you want.”
“Hey, bro—I’m not paying for that,” the groom who had apparently paid for the lap dance yelled. “That’s high rolling—Alison would kill me if I put that on my tab.”
“I’ll pay myself,” the Monstrum said, his eyes never leaving Terra. “Anything for more time with the curvy little one.”
No one had called her “little” since she was in high school and for a moment Terra wasn’t sure what to think. But then he pulled out a thick wad of cash and she remembered her faulty alternator again.
“All right,” she said, holding out a hand to him. “Come on—let’s go.”
The Monstrum stood with animalistic grace, towering over her. For a minute, Terra regretted her decision. He was so huge he could break her in half with one hand if he wanted to. But she had heard over and over that the Monstrum—just like the regular Kindred—would never hurt a woman. So she took a deep breath and let him take her hand.
Despite the way she’d been gyrating on his lap, this was the first skin-to-skin contact between them and for a moment, Terra felt a strange tingling run up her arm. Then her mind was suddenly filled with strange and erotic images.
She saw herself dancing nude for the bull-man, then straddling his lap. She saw him sucking her nipples as she moaned and tugged on his horns. A moment later, she saw herself lying on her back with the huge Monstrum between her thighs. He was lapping her pussy, spreading her wide with his long tongue and obviously enjoying himself as he tasted her thoroughly while she moaned and writhed beneath him.
“What the hell?” she gasped and yanked her hand away.
Immediately, the flow of obscene images stopped. She looked up at the Monstrum warrior, who was staring down at her with wide eyes.
“Did you just—no, never mind.” She shook her head. It wasn’t like he’d shoved those images into her brain. The Monstrum couldn’t do that—could they?
“Forgive me,” he said, his deep voice slightly hoarse. “Did I squeeze your hand too hard?”
“Huh? Uh, no—no, it’s fine. I just thought…thought I saw something.” Terra forced a flirtatious smile onto her face and winked at him. “Come on, big boy—let’s get you to the VIP lounge.”
But this time, she didn’t take his hand. Instead she led the way, allowing him to follow her without any more direct physical contact.
She didn’t know what had just happened a moment ago when she took him by the hand, but she wasn’t eager to repeat it. For one thing, it was freaky—it had felt like someone else’s thoughts shoved into her head. And for another, it had weirdly turned her on. Her nipples were so tight they ached, and she was wet and hot between her thighs.
Terra didn’t know exactly what had happened, but she didn’t have time to dissect the experience right now. Judging by the dazed look in the bull-man’s eyes and the wad of cash he was holding, she might get enough to pay off the whole alternator and even have a little left over to pay for Cody’s birthday gift, if she played her cards right. He desperately wanted a gaming system, but at the moment, she couldn’t even afford a game, let alone the whole system. That all might change if she could give the Monstrum a good enough show.
For a moment she had a flash of self-hate. She didn’t mind the dancing, but she hated having to sell herself this way. She would have to let the Minotaur Monstrum grope her some, no doubt, in order to get the cash she needed. He seemed a nice enough guy and he was actually really handsome, considering he wasn’t human. He had an undeniable aura of masculinity that she found immensely attractive. But she wished she could be dating him instead of dancing for him.
