“You don’t need?—”
“I’m keeping it,” she tells me sharply.
I can’t even be mad, but it doesn’t stop me from leaning forward and biting her lip.
She pushes me back, making me laugh as she gets back to work unwrapping the present, revealing a box inside. She lifts the lid and sucks in a breath.
“Holy fuck. Vice, this is too much.”
I reach in and gently pull the slim, diamond-encrusted Rolex from its case and slip it on her slender wrist.
“I know you can’t wear your ring yet, so this is the next best thing.”
She panics as I fasten it. “What if I break it or lose it?”
“Then I’ll buy you another one.”
“Wait, there’s a ring?” She glances up at me shocked.
I give her a look that says of course there’s a fucking ring.
“Vice, seriously.”
I cut her off with a kiss, shoving my tongue into her mouth to shut her up. She grabs a fist full of my hoodie and holds me toher as I deepen the kiss, my tongue dancing with hers before she pulls back.
“Thank you. But you didn’t have to do this. I didn’t expect a ring or a watch. I didn’t get you anything.”
“Sure, you did. You gave me exactly what I wanted.”
“I did? What?”
“You.”
I’d ignored my phone ringing as long as I could, but I knew I had to leave. The farther I get away from her, the more antsy I feel until I pull over and access the tracking information from her watch on my phone. Seeing that she is still at her place and that her heart rate is normal, I convince myself to keep going.
I stop at home quickly to change into a suit and check the footage I’d filmed last night. I’d play around with it later, editing out the part where I shot Tim in the head. Nova looked every inch the virgin sacrifice she is, all spread out like that, blood all over her skin, her body drawn up tight as I ripped an orgasm out of her.
I wonder if Aldo will find it as much of a turn-on as I do.
Checking my watch, I curse when I realize I’m going to be late and shut the recording off.
I swap out the Jag for the Bentley and make my way to the far side of the city. The beach here is closed to the public due to unstable cliffs and landslides. The pier looks like something from a horror movie. A place that used to be filled with light and noise, with dozens of children running around without a care in the world. Now abandoned, the place is a ghost of its former self.
I park and make my way to the end of the pier, where the oldaquarium sits. It’s empty now, of course—all the marine life returned to the ocean or relocated to other facilities. I head down to the old viewing room, which is really a huge underwater chamber where you can see directly into the ocean and observe ocean life up close and personal. Of course, back when it was constructed, I doubt anyone would guess I’d wind up using it as a torture chamber.
As I push the door open, the people inside who aren’t tied to chairs turn to look at me.
“They have anything interesting to say?”
“Not yet. But I’m sure that will change now that you’re here.” Conner smirks.
I look at my men. Isaac is standing next to Conner. Veck is standing against the far wall with a wide grin on his face. I take an empty chair, spin it around, and sit on it backward, looking over the men before me.
“So, which one of you is the pedo’s brother?” I know, of course, but I want to see how this plays out.
“Fuck you. You don’t know dick about my brother,” Ralph yells from the middle seat.
“Funny you should mention dick, because that’s what got us into this mess in the first place.” I look at the men on either side of the prick. “I understand loyalty, but blind loyalty will get you killed. You all into fucking kids too?”
