Aiden
“Any idea what you’ll do with her if you find nothing?” Dominic asks taking a sip of his coffee.
He sets the cup down on the desk next to the stack of papers he was looking through when I first got to his house.
I gaze out the office window, allowing my gaze to settle on the trees in the garden and shake my head.
I have a very sketchy plan which could go one of two ways. Either, I find what I can on Aleksei then use Olivia as leverage to get my son back, depending on what I find. Or I keep her and use her as leverage to make Jude tell me where my son is. The latter is riskier, not just for me, but her too.
Just in case she is telling the truth.
“I don’t fucking know Dominic.”
“Nothing’s happened yet which is neither good nor bad, but it confirms a few things.”
“Yes,” I agree knowing what he’s going to say to me.
My men and the Syndicate enforcers have been keeping watch for Jude. Neither have found any of Jude’s men near anything to do with me.
“It looks like Jude didn’t send her to kill me.”
“No. And I suppose we can strike off the possibility that any of your men, may be working with the Order or him.”
“Yeah,” I say. It should make me feel better, but it doesn’t really. “I’m still keeping the aspect of Eric to myself for the moment.”
Dominic gives me a little smile. “Taking precautions in case she’s telling the truth?”
“I am. It could be dangerous to share that knowledge with the wrong people.”
He nods his agreement. “How’s she been?”
I sigh. The question should be more about how I’ve been. I decided to leave the house early today to get a break from the sexual tension. I didn’t want the distraction of Olivia.
It was fucking distracting enough to wake up at the crack of dawn to find her lying on her back next to me with my shirt riding up her thighs exposing her pussy and one perfectly pebbled pink nipple I had a hard time not sucking.
I left the house then and came here so Dominic and I could discuss strategy.
“The woman is like wildfire.”
He straightens up and gives me an interesting stare.
“She rub off on you Aiden? Never seen you so pensive. You’re normally more ruthless. You offered to keep her in your home rather than let the Syndicate deal with her.”
He’s a man like me, so he’s gonna know I want to do more than just hold her captive.
“Old friend, you let me deal with the woman in whatever way I choose. It was me she tried to trick and I’m not going to let her go without having my fun with her first. Fuck knows I need the distraction.”
“By fucking?” He raises a brow.
“If I must.”
The door opens and Candace comes in carrying a little grocerybag.
Her stomach looks bigger than when I saw her lastweek and like always, she looks like she belongs in a Disney film, not standing amongst two of the most dangerous men in L.A.
“Hi guys,” she chimes nodding her blonde head.
