Free Phantom Warriors: Linx by Jordan Summers

back. If you even think about interfering with my business again, I am
going to send this recording to your work and of course post it all over the Internet."
He turned to Boris. "How much do you think we could make if we sold this
tape?"
    Boris scratched his
head, giving the question serious thought. "I don't know, boss. At least
ten thousand, if we shopped it to the Internet porn sites. Possibly more, if we
can clean it up and bring out the details." He glanced at Tabby's small
breasts.
    If that recording hit
the Internet, life as Tabby knew it would be over. There was no doubt the
library would fire her. She'd be hard pressed to ever work in a library again.
Most of her co-workers would stop speaking to her and she'd lose what few
friends that she had.
    "I'm sorry,
Tab," Taylor said.
    Sergei scowled at her.
"You did nothing wrong. Your sister is the criminal."
    "Can I go
now?" Tabby asked, unable to meet Taylor's gaze.
    "Da," Sergei
said. "You may leave, but remember, one more wrong move and the world gets
to see your little dance." He threw his head back and laughed, a big
barking sound that sent shards of pain through her.
    Tabby’s body shook with
barely suppressed anger as she forced herself to leave. What was she going to
do now? She'd blown her one chance at getting Sergei and all because she
couldn't keep her pants on.
    She phoned a taxi to
come pick her up. The driver dropped her off at her car and she drove home,
seething. She thought of Linx. How he'd encouraged her to dance. How he'd
pulled her onto his lap. How he'd stared right at the camera, all but grinning,
as she lay splayed beneath him as he drove himself inside of her.
    Oh god, how the
betrayal hurt. Taylor was right. There was sex and there was ruin. And thanks
to last night, Tabby had done a bang-up job of ruining her life.
    How many times had she
lectured Taylor about dating men that were bad for her? How many times had she
told her that she was behaving out of character? That she deserved better? And
what does she do the first chance she gets?
    Tabby strips and fucks
a total stranger. Some example she turned out to be. No wonder Taylor could barely look her in the eye. It wasn’t just fear of
Sergei. It was disappointment. But her twin’s disappointment was nothing
compared to the disappointment Tabby felt in herself. How could she have been
so wrong about Linx?
    The thought that he was
somehow involved or connected with Sergei ate at her all the way home. Tabby
couldn't let it go. She had to find out the truth.
    She arrived home and
looked around her small house. It had taken years to furnish it and fix it so
it was exactly what she wanted. And now with the click of a button, it would
all disappear. Tabby wasn't naive enough to believe that Sergei wouldn't send
the video out.
    He was only toying with
her. Making her believe that she was 'safe'. Soon he'd tire of the game and put
the video up on the Internet and life, as she knew it, would be over. It was already over. Only the mirage of
her old life remained. She scanned the room, not really seeing it anymore.
    Tabby wasn't surprised by
the knock on the front door. She knew who it was and she was ready to face him.
She walked over and looked through the peephole, though she needn’t have
bothered, since the door was only hanging by one hinge. Linx stood on her porch
with a wide smile on his face.
    For a second Tabby's
heart stuttered and she forgot all about being angry. But the second passed
quickly and the anger returned once more. She opened the door.
    Linx brightened when he
saw her, then his smile slowly faded. "What's wrong?" he asked.
    She stared at him. For
the life of her, Tabby couldn't see through the facade. From all outward
appearances, he looked concerned. The man deserved accolades for his acting
ability. "Come in," she said, not answering him yet. Tabby didn't
trust herself to speak.
    Linx stepped through
the door and grabbed her arm.
    "Don't touch
me." She jerked away and shut
