She shakes her head.
“Russet?” I ask.
Her eyes widen and her head shakes faster.
“What is it?” her husband asks.
“I just figured out where they are.” She slowly drops her hand from her mouth. “I’m pretty sure they’re at a sex club.”
Roma’s laugh is at odds with his earlier nerves.
“Give me my baby,” Max says as he leans over the table to grab Sailor. “And how do you know it’s a sex club?”
Roma gives his niece up, wiping his mouth as he stares at me.
“It’s Hartright,” she explains. “It’s a good place to bartend if they’ll hire you. I never did, but I wish I had because you could make a fortune in tips there. Oh, don’t look so disappointed in me. Not all of us grew up with wealth.”
Max says nothing, choosing to focus his attention on Sailor.
But Russet’s attention is on me.
Leonora decided to go to a sex club. I remain rooted in my seat, giving nothing away.
I texted her how many times today and never once did she mention her plans for the evening.
What the hell is she thinking?
I know she hid her disappointment regarding our plans, which would’ve seen me tear into her cunt, but if she wants my attention she’s going about it the wrong way.
I have a few questions for Ivan as well. Why the fuck didn’t he notify me the moment she stepped outside wearing a gown like that?
A new story appears and everything runs cold.
The black ballgown Leonora wears is strapless and her delicate chin points over her shoulder. My teeth want to sink into that shoulder.
She damn well knows what she’s doing.
If she wants to look like a submissive while at a sex club then she’s hit the nail on the head.
But she’s well and truly fucked if she thinks she’s going to get away with it.
Ivan has the audacity to finally message me and I see red.
Ivan: He’s here.
Russet’s hazel eyes fill with worry. “It’s just a bit of fun, Elijah.”
Max rests his arm on her shoulder.
It might have been a bit of fun, but she won’t be if she finds out Leopold is there to ruin her night. And I can’t fucking have that.
Ivan: I’ll get rid of him.
I make up my mind in a half-second.
Elijah: No. But he doesn’t get close to her.
He acknowledges the message.
