Page 33 of Ruthless Obsession
“Ruthless,” Vanish says with a smirk. “Heard you’re back on the market.”
“That was pretty fast,” he chuckles.
“Vanish, give it a rest,” I warn.
“Just saying. Two baddies were asking for you last night. They’ll be back tonight.”
Sounds like the twins. Thought I made myself clear with them.
“They’re all yours,” I mutter.
“Ruthless is in love,” Webbs jokes, laughter booming around the room.
“Feral over her,” Psycho adds, halting beside me. “None of y’all even look at her,” he mocks with a grin.
The whole room loses it—and shit, I laugh too. Needed that. I slap Psycho on the shoulder.
He nods like he gets it. Like he knows I’m walking a razor’s edge.
My phone buzzes in my pocket. I glance at the screen and read the text from an unrecognized phone number as I descend the stairs.
Incoming text: Hey Mavis, it’s Sharlenne. Belle and I are ready to party.
Me: Sharlenne, that’s great.
I FaceTime her as I step into my room and close the door behind me.
She answers on the first ring. Big gray rollers in her hair.
“I see you’ll be all dolled up for tonight,” I say.
“I sure will, handsome. What do you want us to do?”
“Which of Toby’s clubs will be the busiest tonight?” I ask.
“Stars. It’s closer to downtown.”
“Can Sharon get you two into VIP?”
“Yes.”
“Good. Snap pics of everyone in VIP. Keep it subtle.”
“No problem.”
“Also let me know if there’s a sex dungeon there. I’m trying to see if that’s a feature I’d like to add to the downtown location.”
“We’ll dig into it.” She smiles.
Send me your cash app. And I’ll send enough money for you two to hang out tonight and tomorrow. Update me Sunday.”
“We got you covered, boss.”
I chuckle. “Have fun.”
I disconnect the call.
I plan to learn all the ins and outs of his clubs. I grin like the mad man I am.
