A little bit of LOL

I don't think anybody noticed this laugh-out-loud part of the chapter. I'd put it in a comment or something, but I really believe it deserves its own post.

"The bouncer at the door was tall, blond, and way too cheerful for the job. Clay was one of Richard's werewolves, and when he wasn't body guarding someone, he worked security here. Clay's gift was avoiding fights. He was really good at calming things down. A much more useful ability for a bouncer than brute strength. Last week Clay had been helping guard my body. No pun intended."

The pun she's referring to is being a body - as in dead. See, I didn't get that right away. What I did get, was the Anita-Strip club pun:

1) "Clay was one of Richard's werewolves,... he worked security here."
2) "Clay's gift was avoiding fights. He was really good at calming things down."
3) "Last week Clay had been helping guard my body."

Let's see, so he's a guard at a strip club, and that's who guarded Anita.  Anita that has a tendency to disrobe in front of men a few times a day, at least; Anita that went into a police investigation sans underwear on occasion, Anita who is an object of desire - physically and metaphysically, and has men throwing themselves at her - be it in an orderly fashion of petitioning to JC.

JC uses the club to get powered up/feed the aurdeur. JC uses Anita's "performances" the same way.

The one thing someone guarding a strip club has to be good at is calming fights... No one would deny that the fights/whine fests around Anita done by the interested men are pretty similar to the kind of squabbling that supposedly happens in Guilty Pleasures.

So... that whole "no pun intended" at the end made me laugh So Hard!!!
