“That doesn’t mean anything,” I said defensively.

“The documents had detailed verbiage. Women were sold through the agency for sexual pleasures, and Delilah’s signature was on every one of them.”

I couldn’t breathe. The news Davian just shared with me was more than I could handle.How could this be true?Delilah taught me so many things. She was the one who convinced Crosby to let me go to GSU. The way Delilah treated me didn’t jive with what Davian found. There had to be another explanation. There just had to be.

Davian

Telling Reyna about Delilah didn’t go how I expected it. Granted, she was a strong woman, but knowing the truth about the woman who cared for her was the last straw. Every person in her life had deceived her. Even I had. If she found out the truth behind why I was so interested in her, it would kill her. It wouldn’t matter that my plans to use her as bait all changed the moment her lips met mine. The only people that knew the truth were my men and Crosby McCall. What I couldn’t understand was why McCall hadn’t already told Reyna the truth. He had the opportunity on so many occasions.

Grabbing a bottle of water from the small fridge, I twisted the cap off and handed it to Reyna. When she didn’t take it and just stared into space, I took hold of her hand and wrapped her fingers around the bottle. “Reyna, princess. Take a drink. It will make you feel better.”

Reyna brought the water to her lips and took small sips. “I just can’t believe this is happening. Everyone in my life has been fake. My whole life has been filled with nothing but lies and deceit. When will it end, Davian?”

The tears that fell down her cheek tore my heart in two. What could I possibly say that would make her feel better? “Princess. Things will get better. You have your friends that love you very much. Not as much as I do, but still, there are a lot of people that care about you.”

“I’m so glad I have you. You always have a way of making me feel better.”

Taking her in my arms, I wanted nothing more than to take her to the suite in the back of the plane and consume every inch of her. Soon we would be landing, and I wanted to take my time with her. My desire to take her would have to wait until we were back at the penthouse. McCall would be stupid to try and take Reyna again, especially with the cops looking for him.


I held Reyna in my arms until the plane came to a stop on the tarmac. Jeannie wasn’t thrilled, and I might have been a little short with her when I told her to back off. Reyna needed comfort, and I wasn’t going to let her go.

When Jeannie opened the door to the plane, I released my hold on Reyna and allowed her to stand. Jeannie was standing by the airplane door to greet us, but when our eyes met, she turned her sights elsewhere. Jeannie was the best employee I ever had, and I couldn’t let my arrogance get in the way of that. I placed my hand gently on her arm to get her attention. “I’m sorry about what I said earlier. You didn’t deserve that.”

“I understand, Davian. I can see now that you were only concerned about Reyna. It’s clear that you care deeply for her,” Jeannie said as she placed her hand over mine a gave it a small pat.

As we headed down the steps, I could see Axe and Marcus standing near the SUV. I hadn’t expected both of them to show up and was concerned about why they felt the need to both be here. By the time Reyna and I reached the SUV, Marcus was already moving to the driver’s side. Axe remained by the opened passenger door. Once we were on our way, I had a few questions for them.

After getting the specifics of our time in Chicago out of the way, I turned to Marcus and said, “I hope there’s a reason you both felt the need to show up to pick us up.”

Axe was the first to chime in. “Yes, sir. With Crosby McCall still out there, we all thought it would be best to double up. Even though the police still have him on their radar, we couldn’t take the chance that he would show up.”

That statement alone proved I had a great team. The men ofThe Societyhad my back, whether there was a threat or not. I doubted that McCall would be that stupid, but then again, he was crazy enough to do anything. Even though I wasn’t the one who pulled the trigger that caused his brother's death, he wanted his revenge on me. No matter the cost. I wished I knew to what extent Delilah had her hand in this. Based on the document she showed me and her reaction, she didn’t know about Crosby having a brother. The only explanation was that Crosby and Rui Salko had their own side business without Delilah’s knowledge.

During the drive to Atlanta, Reyna hadn’t left my side. Under normal circumstances, I would have welcomed it. But knowing that she was hurting inside made me feel guilty as hell. I wasn’t the direct cause of her pain, but there was nothing I could do to turn the clock back to the day I met her. I certainly would have done things differently. For one, I wouldn’t have been so driven to get revenge. Secondly, I would have taken Reyna away from Atlanta before everything went to shit. She was happy not knowing about her birth parents. The biggest mistake was trusting Crosby and Delilah to take care of her.Damn them and damn Rui Salko.

“Fuck,” I cursed before realizing I had said it out loud.

“Is everything okay, boss,” Axe replied while turning his body to face me.

I didn’t want Reyna to know what was going through my head, so I made something up. “Everything is good. I just forgot to do something before we left Chicago.”

Reyna settled back against my shoulder. It was right where I wanted her to be. As soon as we got to The Regency, I would be looking through the security footage to find out what happened to Delilah and if Crosby helped her. In the meantime, I kept my thoughts to myself and remained silent until we got to the hotel. I couldn’t risk having another random outburst.

When we got to the hotel, I instructed Marcus to pull inside the parking garage instead of the hotel entrance. If Crosby was still in the area, I didn’t want to risk him seeing us enter the hotel. There were only a few bags to carry, so instead of asking Marcus and Axe to hang around, I told them to head back to the warehouse. “I’m going to run through the security footage while you two head back to the warehouse. If I find anything, I’ll let you know.”

“Stone, Mitch, and Zach are watching the hotel. If there are any problems, they’re here to assist.” Axe said, reassuring me that they had my back in the event McCall showed up. It was highly unlikely, but nice to know they were watching out for us.

Before I took on the task of reviewing the security footage, there was one thing that I wanted to do instead. Now that we were off the plane, I would take care of what I couldn’t. Not wasting any time, I had Reyna in my arms. I heard the faint sound of the door clicking shut behind me as I hurried to the bedroom holding Reyna.

We pressed our lips to one another’s and began to tear off each other’s clothes. If someone had walked in on us, we wouldn’t have noticed. The need for each other was that strong. Stumbling over the pile of clothes between us, we fell onto the soft bed. I devoured Reyna with kiss after kiss, everyone melting together with the last. My hands were everywhere, on her waist, her breasts, her legs. The taste of her was pure heaven. The vibration of Reyna’s moans sent wave after wave of satisfaction to my cock. Taking a wrist in each hand, I pinned her wrists above her head. Using only one hand to brace her wrists, I moved the other down her body until I met her wet folds. Just as I expected, Reyna turned out to be as excited as I was. Our desire for one another was unstoppable.

I separated her moistened folds with my index finger and slipped it inside. Then, leaving the deliciousness of her lips, I moved my mouth toward her ear. “Spread a little wider, princess.”

Reyna obeyed me without hesitation as I slipped in another finger. I wanted to bring her to the edge without tumbling over. When she came, I wanted her juices to coat my cock. Without warning, I pulled my fingers away and kneeled between her legs. It was only when her eyes met mine that I erotically licked my fingers. Reyna’s eyes were hooded, and a smile of desire covered her face. My erection was throbbing, and if I didn’t do something quick, I would explode before I had the chance to enter her tight pussy.
