Page 54 of Scarlett Thief (Criminal Underground 2)

Scarlett was tough, her hardened exterior was a large part of her. It was what had gotten her through all of the hard times in her life. I just wanted to show her, though, that she didn’t have to be hard all of the time. I wanted the softer side of her, the submissive in her, to know she could come out and play too. Not everyone wanted to hurt her. At least, not in a way that wouldn't soon have her screaming her way to a few orgasms.

"Yes, Sir," Scarlett responded to Hadrian's question.

"Good," he said, releasing her and stepping away. "Then don't question him again. Go into the bedroom and do exactly what he told you to."

She nodded and kept her eyes downcast as she moved out of the shower stall and toward the bedroom. I waited until she was on the other side of the door before I turned to Hadrian.

"Are we good?" I asked.

He nodded. "The searches have all been set up. Security is as tight as it's going to be in this place, but I recommend that we move residences tomorrow. The flat was great for temporary digs, but after the botched attempt tonight, I'd feel much safer if we were somewhere else."

"I'm fine with that," I said. "I don't think she'll argue."

"She's upset with herself about tonight."

Yeah, I'd noticed that. When we'd walked in, I'd seen the way her eyes had moved to us—waiting for one of us to start yelling, to criticize her. Jobs went wrong. People fucked up. It wasn't something I let get to me. Scarlett was different. It was obvious she'd expected yelling, screaming, maybe even some violence. That made my hands clench into fists at my sides.

"What are you thinking about for her?" Hadrian asked.

I sighed and slowly released my fists, letting my hands open once more. I had a plan for tonight. We had a duty to our new sub, and as I thought about what we were about to do to her, a smile formed on my face. When I lifted my gaze to Hadrian, he leaned back.

"Damn, man, if it's punishment, I'm a little concerned," he said. "You look like a demon ready to ravage some damn virgins or something."

"Oh, I'm ready to ravage a virgin," I replied honestly. "I bet you anything our girl is an anal virgin and by the time the night is through, I definitely plan to get my cock into her asshole. Before that, though, I've got something else I want you to do."

Hadrian stared at me for a moment more, and when his face shifted, a devilish grin forming on his features, I knew—he was just as nasty as me. Our poor girl was in for the ride of her life.
