There is a hot tub with a steam room, and a sauna beside it, and a row of ice baths on the opposite side.
Walking farther into the room, I pass by the baths and spot a sitting area with sofas and a mini-fridge on the left, and on the right are two large wooden doors. The first leads to a huge orgasm-worthy bathroom, and the second to a bedroom containing three queen-size beds made up with plain white sheets that have a gold stylized C in the center.
“Looks almost like a holiday resort. So why does the opulence make me more uncomfortable than if it were a prison cell?” Graves asks.
“Prisons can be gilded just as easily as they can be concrete. But yeah, I feel it too. Some weird vibe. This place reminds me of the house of mirrors, where everything is just an illusion,” I grumble.
“My instincts are screaming at me right now,” Law admits.
“Mine are going haywire too,” I agree.
I move back into the living area as Blink opens the mini-fridge and pulls out a bottle of water.
“No, don’t drink or eat anything. I don’t trust them not to have put something in the food. We brought enough to keep us going. I’d rather be cautious.”
He shrugs and places it back.
“What do you want to do now? I’m too anxious to just sit.”
“Before you decide that fucking is the answer, remember that I need to be able to walk if we are planning on winning.”
“Fucking is always the answer,” Vega proclaims before opening the door I didn’t spot at the far end of the room.
“That lying bastard.”
We move up behind him and see another locked gate leading to a dark, twisted staircase.
“Well, fuck me sideways. This looks like something straight out of a horror movie.”
“Graves, can you pass me my bag?”
I check out the lock as I wait for Graves to step up beside me with my gym bag. I grab the lock picks from the side pocket and drop to my knees.
“Do I really want to know why you carry lock picks around?” Law drawls.
“You really don’t,” I reply, listening for the sound of the click. It takes me a while. This lock is a lot larger than I’m used to. Eventually, it gives, but I make a note to never try to do it in a hurry.
I stand up and swing the gate wide.
“Let’s check it out. Although maybe a couple of us should stay to run interference, just in case.”
“I’ll stay,” Law offers.
“Yeah, me too.” Graves nods.
“You sure?”
“Yeah. Go see what’s what.”
I press a kiss to his jaw and accept a kiss on the forehead from Law.
“We’ll be quick. If anyone comes, tell them we’re in the bedroom fucking.”
“You got it. Be careful.”
“I’ll go first,” Vega offers.
“I’ll bring up the rear.” Blink maneuvers me in front of him so I can follow Vega.
