“Come on. It’s good news. Let’s go get this fucker.”

“Pink is for sure being distributed out of a sex club in Palm Springs,” Lex says, looking slightly smug. He grabs a donut from the tray sitting on the desk and stuffs it in his mouth. Diablo is missing from the iPad screen, his chair swiveling slightly as if he rushed off. Who knows where he went, the little demon.

“A sex club?” I ask.

“Yep. Palm fucking Springs. Can you believe it? I’m going to see if William wants to go check it out. He’s on his way over. You get to meet my snack of a man.”

“How did you find out so fast? Just minutes ago, you had nothing,” I say, grabbing a donut and taking a bite before offering the rest to Viktor. I feel his lips brush my finger as I feed it to him, and I can’t help it when my dick swells in my pants. Outside was something more, the promise of splitting him wide open tonight making my entire body grow warm with desire.

And the fact he admitted he’s mine.

Well, that’s just the icing on the cake.

“Oh god, don’t even ask that.” Lex’s face screws up and he sighs. “Martha and Vikki told me when they called to check in.”

I peer over at Viktor, and he shrugs. He has a crumb on his bottom lip, so I reach over and swipe it off.

“Who the fuck is that?” I finally ask.

“They’re little old ladies who have far too much arthritis to be going to sex clubs or knowing about the sale of illicit drugs! Apparently, they found a way to elude me and went last weekend. She called to catch up and when I told her what I was doing, she gave me all this info.”

Just as he says that, his phone rings, and he swipes at the screen, putting it on speaker.

“Martha, hello again. Are you going to give me another heart attack? What have you done now?”

“Oh, love, don’t worry. I’m not doing anything naughty. I just thought of something else.” She cackles, and Lex pinches the bridge of his nose in exacerbation.

“Oh, lord have mercy.”

“Don’t worry. It’s not bad. In the grand scheme of things, that is.”

“That is not helpful, Martha. Tell me before I get a stomachache.”

Anthony grins from behind his desk as Martha cackles loudly once more. And I can’t help but smile at the ridiculousness of it. I think I’d rather like this old lady if I ever met her. She’s a wild card.

“Well, Vikki reminded me of this. When we were at the club, there was this guy there who was selling the drugs. He was quite the talker and he told me a few things. Not that I can remember what he said. My memory isn’t like it used to be. But we took a picture with him. Would you like me to send it to you?”

“Yes.”

“Shoot, how do I send a picture again? Vikki! Where are my glasses?” she shouts and then the phone clatters as if someone dropped it.

“Jesus,” Lex murmurs as he closes his eyes. “I can’t cope.”

We hear the commotion over the phone, and Tatum giggles as he waits for the big reveal. It takes far longer than we expected. Lex has to slowly go over how to send the picture and has to do this multiple times until we finally hear aping, and Lex pulls the image up.

“Did it send? I think I deleted something on my phone and now all the apps are gone.”

“Good fuck,” Lex murmurs as he holds the phone up, showing two old ladies with blue and pink hair in a seedy club with a man between them.

A guy with a pierced ear and a smug smile.

“Henry,” I growl, and Lex stares down at the phone, shooting the picture off to me and Anthony before he pinches the bridge of his nose again.

“Thanks, Martha. And please promise me you’ll stay away from Palm Springs. And sex clubs, and for god’s sake, tell me you had the guy use a condom.”
