“Nothing new yet, other than the fact he has a bad feeling and the suspicion they’re using jammers to mess with the bugs we planted.”

“They made us?”

“Not necessarily. It could be a precaution, especially if they think there are people in the club who are no longer loyal tothem. They won’t want anyone to catch them out if they are doing shady deals.”

He grunts as he walks beside me.

“You think any more about what I asked?”

He tenses but doesn’t answer.

“I know you got a lot going on, but don’t take too long to figure shit out. I need you. So does she.”

He freezes solid, so I move past him and leave him alone for a moment. I walk back to where Nevaeh sits with Midas and scoop her up, making her screech.

“You scared me.” She smacks my arm.

“Such a jumpy little thing. Let’s get you some food before you get hangry.”

I carry her to the kitchen and sit her on the counter while I rummage in the fridge for some food. “Got the fixings for sandwiches, leftover pizza, or lasagna.”

“Lasagna, please.”

I plate her a portion and heat it as a couple of club bunnies walk in and head our way.

Kiki twirls her hair. “Hey, Havoc.”

“You need something?”

She bats her eyes at me. “We just haven’t spent any time with you, that’s all.”

“Why would I spend time with you?” I frown.

Nevaeh chuckles as I stare at them and wait for them to answer.

Stacey drops her voice. “What Kiki is trying to say is, we can show you a real good time.”

I look at Nevaeh, the frown still on my face.

She shakes her head and grins. “She means sex, honey. She’s offering you the free use of her vagina. I think all of them are.”

“Pass,” I reply, getting back to the food.

“You haven’t tried us yet. We’ll let you do things to us that will blow your mind.” Macy purrs like a cat. I’m not sure if that’s supposed to be sexy. If it is, it didn’t work.

I put the food on the plate and carry it to Nevaeh, ignoring them.

“I think he’s good, ladies. But thanks for the offer.” Nevaeh offers them a smile, clearly not offended at all. I’m not sure I’d be as calm if a man?—

My hands fist, so I let the thought go before I punch something.

Kiki pipes up. “He’s only with you because you’re the first pussy he fell into since he got out of jail. He’ll get bored. There is nothing you can give him that I can’t.”

Nevaeh stands up to her full height, which still makes her the shortest person in the room. Even so, the girls take a wary step back.

“I gave him my virginity. Can any of you give him that? Why would he trade in a custom, made-to-fit model with all the bells and whistles that’s only had him as an owner for someone who has been ridden more times than the subway and by just as many passengers? I guess you could give him an STD. That’s something I can’t give him. Honey? You feel like downgrading?”

“Fuck no.”
