Another Night

To Spencer's credit, the head of his security behaved like there was nothing different even after that fateful night. It was never even brought up, openly or in private, although Damien could sense that something had changed. The redneck still annoyed him with his insolence in private, but Damien didn't try to lose him from his detail and in turn, Spencer was marginally more tolerable although no less an irksome shadow.

This night at the grand opening of The Adonis was no different. Damien was invited as a VIP guest of honor, probably because they wanted to sweeten him up for a potential business relationship, and Spencer tagged along despite how Damien already brought a good half dozen others as part of his accompanying security detail. He was here on behalf of his old man's business, he couldn't have gotten away with a less impressive following, but couldn't see how bringing Spencer would add to it. The man was tiny and young, if anything, it would give off the wrong impression.

But the stubborn bull wouldn't be budged and there they were, with Damien seated with one girl in each arm and congratulating the new club owner while Spencer watched him like a hawk from the side.
