I laughed and turned on the big monitor in my office and quickly dialed him.

“Nikolai, my brother from another mother,” Sebastian said warmly. “What’s the news?”

“Allison’s progressing well. Her passport should arrive within the next two weeks. She’ll be ready.”

“Glad to hear it. The sale of the property is on track, and we should be ready to close in the next few months at the latest. Are you going to introduce me to that lovely thing sitting on your lap? She’s quite exquisite. Please tell me she’s a new trainee.”

Kinsley glared, and I smiled at her reaction. He laughed loudly. “I’ll take that as a no.”

“This is Kinsley. She’s quite curious about Allison. Why don’t you ask Sebastian about her?”

Kinsley looked up and then back at the screen. She grabbed one of her braids and twirled the end, her nervous habit. I put my hand on her knee and rubbed it lazily, and she whipped her head around, her eyes growing wide.

“I thought you had questions. Don’t be shy. Sebastian’s waiting.”

“It’s fine. I don’t care to know anything about her,” she said stubbornly.

“You’re trying my patience. Now, Sebastian’s a very busy man. I suggest you say hello and ask your questions.” I moved her knees apart a little, and she trembled at my touch.

“Nik,” she admonished, trying to push my hand away. I raised my eyebrow, and she moved her hand and turned toward the monitor. “Hello, Sebastian. I really don’t have many questions. I was just curious whymyguys are training her if she’s yours?”

“Is that what they said? That she’s mine? Well, I suppose in some ways, that might be true, but she’s equally Nik’s, Alek’s, Ivan’s, and Marcel’s as well.”

“Excuse me?” Her eyes flared. He chuckled. He was trying to get a rise out of her.

“Yes, in fact, her train—”

“Can we use a different word, please?”

“Sorry, Bash. Kinsley has an aversion to the wordtraining.” My fingers trailed down her shapely calves. Her skin was soft, and I loved the way it felt beneath my fingertips.

“Very well. Nik is responsible for ensuring…Hmm, it’s a bit difficult not using the word. I mean, you’re literally training her or, well, a specific part of her body, to be ready for…”

“I think I know where this is going. No need to elaborate.” Kinsley flushed bright red. Then added, “I don’t understand why Allison can’t complete her education in London.” She sneered when she said her name.

Sebastian and I erupted in laughter. I’d have to tell the others. She was so comical and cute when she was jealous.

“Because she needs to be ready when she gets here. Ivan’s working with her on her edging ski—” Sebastian said.

“Yeah, I saw that in action the other day. No need to elaborate.” She glared.

“Yes, well, I insist that all my girls have an extensive range of skills, and Ivan’s quite good. Not as good as me, but he runs a close second.” Sebastian smiled.

“Don’t let him hear you say that.”

“I’ll tell him to his face, and you know it, Nik,” he replied.

“Well, I’m so glad Allison is perfecting her edging and anal skills. What the hell is Alek teaching her?” She huffed, “Actually, don’t tell me. I don’t want to know. The Reaper has found his naughtier kitten. I’ll kill him.”

“Naughtier kitten?” Sebastian asked.

“Yes, your Counselor friend thinks I’m vulnerable. You know how this game works. I can’t pass go or collect my two hundred dollars because Marcel keeps throwing me in jail.” She gasped as my hand traveled up her thigh. I edged my fingers near her pussy.

“That’s got to be frustrating. Wanna talk about it?” Sebastian asked with a wicked grin.

“Nope, just got done being Marceled. Didn’t receive my pass, so unless you’ve got tips you’re willing to share, I’m good. I still don’t get why my Kings have to doyourjob.”

“Somebody has quite a lot of sass over there, Nik.”
