Villains Don't Date Heroes! (Night Terror and Fialux, #1)

by Mia Archer

“Anybody else want to be a hero?” Nobody moved. Nobody so much as breathed. Good. The last thing I needed was some normie with more testosterone than brains trying to impress their lady by trying to take me on.

I heard cheers from the crowds down the way and scowled. They never appreciated how good they had it with a villain like me who tried my best to make sure nobody got hurt while I was working. I only wanted what was best for the people of this city. All I asked in return was that they didn’t get in my way too much while I robbed them blind and ruled their city.

There are kisses and then there are kisses. Some people are terrible at it. Some people think opening their mouth and jabbing their tongue is all it takes. Some think opening their mouth like a gaping maw and lying there letting the other half do the work is good enough. And then there are those who really and truly know what they're doing. Fialux obviously knew what she was doing.

"So that's your plan for world domination?" I asked. "Take influential women under your control and get them to do your bidding?" The smile slipped again. "Of course that's my plan! And it's not like I'm doing anything wrong. Selena was happy. Content. Right baby?" He turned Fialux but she looked anything but happy. Only he smiled and seemed to take that as confirmation that he was absolutely right. I rolled my eyes. Rex was your typical twenty something manchild who never learned how to appropriately interact with women, and the shit cherry on top of the crap sundae was he had those crazy mind control eyes that meant he never had to learn the lesson that he was a useless pile of crap with no redeeming qualities and no interest in developing them.

Fialux might have a policy, but I wasn't above taking out the trash when it was obvious it needed to be done. One death to prevent many. That was a tradeoff I was willing to take.
