where to look. She knew she was blushing and her heart was racing. She turned to find Lexi in the crowd and saw her speaking to a girl working behind the bar. The girl pointed over her shoulder, and then Lexi reached for Tammy’s hand and pulled her around the side of the counter and down towards a hallway at the back.
    As they wandered down the dark hallway, Tammy’s nerves were escalating. For a girl like Lexi, being in situations like this might be the norm, but for an innocent girl like her, it was terrifying. She had no idea what any of the people in The Bleeding Bullet were capable of, and she feared she would get caught up in some kind of fight or worse. She stuck to Lexi’s heels as she marched down to the end of the hallway and stopped outside of a large black door. Lexi raised her hand and knocked. They seemed to be standing there forever, until finally the door creaked open and a man came into view and instantly took Tammy’s breath away.
    She wasn’t aware of what he was saying; all she knew was that he was incredible. His shoulders were broad and his eyes were piercing blue. His big, rough hands gripped a cigarette, and as he sucked on it, Tammy suddenly found herself thinking how smoking had never looked sexier. She shook her head quickly and snapped herself back to reality.
    “You after King?” he asked Lexi in a deep, gruff voice before his head turned and his eyes fell on Tammy.
    Tammy felt the heat rise in her cheeks again, and she exhaled to calm herself down. Lexi nodded and the man disappeared back behind the door. Tammy’s palms were sweating as she whispered quickly to Lexi, “Who is he?” but there was barely a second before he appeared at the door again with King by his side.
    Lexi launched herself at King, and he soothed her before taking her off down the hallway. Their voices were hushed and hurried, and Tammy turned back to stare at the man in front of her as he eyed her closely with a smirk on his face.
    “You look so lost,” he said finally, and Tammy didn’t know how to respond. He laughed a little and moved closer to her, making the hairs on her arms stand on end.
    “Maybe I am…” she finally managed to whisper.
    She had no idea what she was doing or what she even wanted from this situation; all she knew was that she suddenly didn’t mind waiting around in the darkened hallway at the back of The Bleeding Bullet anymore.
    “I’m Lynx,” he said confidently as he held his cigarette up to his lips and sucked on it.
    Tammy watched the way the smoke danced up around his nostrils in delicate waves.
    “I’m Tammy,” she said, shyly glancing at the floor.
    “You work in the diner on the highway?” Lynx asked her.
    She looked up, surprised that he would even know anything like that. She nodded.
    “How did you know?” she asked.
    “I’ve seen you around,” he grinned.
    The tension between them was instant and she barely knew where to look or even how to hold her hands. Suddenly her whole body felt like it had been awakened and was out of control. She felt awkward and gawky, like she needed to be doing something with her limbs or she would look uncomfortable.
    Lynx smiled and leaned in closer.
    “Relax,” he hissed and exhaled a plume of smoke down the side of her neck.
    “Sorry,” she blushed. “I just, I…”
    “You’ve never been here before?” he asked as he crossed his arms over his chest.
    Tammy shook her head and smiled sheepishly.
    “I’ve only met Lexi twice, but she seems pretty wild,” he said. “You don’t seem like that to me at all… You’ve got an innocent quality about you.”
    Tammy felt the blood rush into her cheeks, and she wanted the ground to open up and swallow her whole. She dug her toe into the ground and twisted it.
    “Maybe I should get going,” she said before she looked down the hallway to find King and Lexi, but they had disappeared.
    “No way,” Lynx said, taking another step towards her. “We don’t get pretty little
