“Anytime. Anywhere,” Lik concludes.

She gives up in a loud huff and lays down on the bed. “Whatever. I’ll get you all tattooed too.”

None of us reply to her. Probably because we all agree. To make the whole thing better for us, I let my hand go back to her nipple, and this time so does Lik. We both play with her until she’s writhing and moaning. Her hips start to shift and buckle forward, and her eyes are closed. The buzzing of the tattoo gun comes to life, and Sam lifts his head.

“Will you two stop? I can’t do a good job if she’s wriggling all over the bed.”

We take our time to stop, and eventually, Rose settles. When she opens her eyes, she looks right at me, a smug smile on her face.

She knows.

She knows why I’m doing this. That I wanted to be equal to Sam.

And she’s loving it.

ROSE

If I Try to Find You- KiNG MALA

7 days until Viktor…

I pop down the car mirror and paint my lips blood red. It’s not a huge difference from their natural color, but it definitely enhances them. I rearrange the collar I stole from Sam’s dungeon and take a deep breath.

I stole more than the collar he sometimes puts on me. I also took a red latex dress and look absolutely irresistible in it.

I completed the look with thigh-high shiny black boots. I look like sex on legs, and I am uncomfortable as fuck. I tighten the trench coat around my body, hiding my outfit, and attempt to take another deep breath before heading out of my car. The dress makes it hard to move and I wobble on the high heels.

Sam still hasn’t found the Wolves’ compound and I’m running out of time. I need to find them myself and get this over with. After all, if I can convince Viktor to leave me alone and simultaneously avoid him and Sam being in the same vicinity, it saves him from being hurt. It’s easier to not put Sam and Lik at risk. They don’t understand Viktor is a powerful man and the number of times he has had to deal with someone wanting to kill him or take down his organization.

I found a way to get to Viktor before he gets to me, and I’m going to make this right.

I knock on the door that leads to Vue Club, and as soon as the guard sees me, he lets me in. You don’t forget a face like mine.

Instead of going to the regular club, I take the route that leads to the BDSM underground club Lik had taken me to.

I walk into the room where I had gotten ready last time. Where Lik had made mebeghim to gag me. The humiliation kicks my heart into a rapid rhythm.

The blonde receptionist, who still isn’t wearing much, smiles knowingly at me.

“Back, I see. Where’s your Master?”

Ignoring her jab, I say calmly. “I want to see Aaron Williams.”

“I’m afraid Mr. Williams doesn’t see stray sluts.”

I run my tongue against my teeth to avoid insulting her.Keep calm, Rose.

“Tell him Rose White wants to see him. He won’t refuse me.”

Showing me a set of pearly teeth through a perfect bitch smile, she answers, “Mr. Williams isn’t here. Sorry.”

I huff and slowly walk toward her, taking my coat off as I do so. Once I’m by the counter behind which she stands, I smile at her and raise a hand, pretending to put a strand of blonde hair behind her ear.

I grab the back of her head and smash her head against the counter. She shrieks something about her nose and I put my coat on the counter with my other hand.

I lower my mouth to her ear. “Take me toMr. Williamsbefore I give you another reason to get a fucking nose job. Which was really well done, by the way.”
