“Well listen, I just wanted to call you really quick to give you a heads up. I’m sure Tazer mentioned the conversation him and I had a few weeks back.”

“Yes. He did,” Finn said and sat forward in the seat. He felt on edge and nervous. He had wondered if there were some kind of connection to the case Somers was investigating.

“Well, I spoke with Somers a little while ago. Seems the case he’s investigating brought up some names. That Si Sanders guy who abducted Eliza Grace and Missy Ann was doing some business with the Ukrainian businessman the feds are investigating. Somers told me the investigators were able to bring down several more of these prostitution rings. However they put some people on the inside to get more concrete evidence and details. So far those undercover agents believe this Ukrainian guy and his associates have organized a system that fronts as an escort service as I mentioned earlier. They can’t get anything concrete but it appears that some very wealthy men use this service.”

“Have they been able to get to any of these women to question them?” Finn asked.

“No. The women involved with this are willing participants. Somers doesn’t have much more, just the fact that Si knew this boss well. The Feds are gathering the information the Hayes brothers and I uncovered and are hoping something helps with their investigation. It just goes to show you how wide spread this shit was,” Warner said to him.

“It sounds like Si and his buddies were trying to form their own monopoly on a smaller scale with the prostitution rings around these parts, doesn’t it?” Finn asked.

“Yeah, plus not all the women were willing participants. Look how they were going to sell off Missy Ann to that designer guy’s friends in Europe. If you guys hadn’t gotten to her in time, damn, she would be worse off.”

Finn ran his hand over his mouth. “I don’t even want to think about that.”

“I hear ya, buddy. Keep her close and take care of her. Show her what real love is.”

“That’s the plan. Listen, keep me abreast of this investigation. I’d love to know when these Feds catch all these assholes and put them behind bars. I can’t believe they’re getting away with this.”

“I know, and I will. Stay safe.”

“Later.” Finn disconnected the call and leaned back in his chair. He couldn’t help but to think about Missy Ann and how close she came to being sexually assaulted. Hell, she had been beaten, touched, and it really pissed him off.

He thought about her now. He knew she was at work, and that gave him a little peace of mind knowing that Billy and Antonio were there to watch over her. Finn wondered about Antonio. Would he see how special Missy Ann was, or would he be obsessed with the past, with what Sophia did to him that he wouldn’t see how perfect Missy Ann was for all of them?

His gut clenched and his heart ached. He didn’t want to not include him. He could tell that Missy Ann was attracted to all four of them and that Antonio was attracted to her, too. But he was stubborn and distrusting. Antonio might not be able to commit to Missy Ann completely, and that just wasn’t fair.

Their relationship was developing quickly. Keeping her out of their bed was becoming difficult. Finn knew they needed to be patient, but damn, was it hard when she was so attractive and sexy. Plus the way she cuddled up to him and wrapped her dainty body around his just to absorb the feelings of protection made his dick hard and his heart race with desire. He wanted to make her their woman. But for crying out loud, Antonio needed to get his head out of his ass and join them in loving Missy Ann and keeping h

er safe. He couldn’t give him much more time. It was hard enough having to kiss her goodnight and leave her.

He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. They needed to talk to her about staying over their place this weekend. He was losing his patience, his self-control. He wanted her in every way, and so did Salvatore and Billy. If Antonio didn’t join them and commit to making Missy their woman, then they would move on without him. They had no choice. It wasn’t fair to Missy Ann.

“So when do you think Antonio is going to make a move on you?” Eliza Grace asked.

Missy Ann exhaled as she thumbed through the fashion magazine while she got a pedicure. It had been Eliza Grace’s idea. She had a photo shoot tomorrow and Missy Ann had to meet with the beer distributors along with Antonio and Billy. They wanted to incorporate some local microbrewery beers into the beer menu.

“I don’t think he will. He’s had something against me from the start.”

“What do you mean against you?”

“I mean he had a chip on his shoulders. He always does when he’s around me and it’s like he’s analyzing my actions, my words, and even my body language.”

“It sounds like he’s checking you out and liking what he sees,” Eliza Grace replied.

“There’s more to it. He’s very distrusting. Billy hinted around that he had some trouble in his past and that he doesn’t trust easy.”

“Hmm, I wonder what kind of trouble? Did you ask Salvatore and Finn?”

“No way. How could I ask them anything about their brother? They would hold loyalty to him and his wish to not explain.”

“Well, have you asked Antonio what his problem is?”

“No, and don’t plan on it. He’s as intimidating as Finn.”

Eliza Grace chuckled.
