“Thanks for your time,” I tell him and he sighs.

He looks like he’s about to say more to me but I don’t wait to hear it. I don’t want to hear any more reasons why he doesn’t think the dream I’ve had for so long won’t work out because it’s me. So, I walk out feeling a hundred times worse than I did earlier.

He doesn’t think I can do it. Hearing that part is worse than not having the money.

Chapter Ten

Salvatore

The one thingI like about my staff at the club is how observant they are. They check and watch out for shit that looks like trouble.

They all know to do it.

From the security guards outside to the exotic dancers on the platforms.

Never can tell when enemies may walk in.

The women here though take that keen attention to detail a little too far, and when they use it to start checking up on me it pisses me off. Especially when I don’t want the attention.

The tall blonde woman in my office now is like that. I forgot her name. I think it’s Cora or Corrin. One of those, and she’s one of those women who always has her eye on me.

She thought it would be nice of her to come to my aid last night although I turned her away and here she is again tonight, fishing to see if I’m with Mimi.

We’re in my office and she’s supposed to be in the playboy lounge. She’s a fairly new waitress. Been with us now for over two months. Christian hired her on the basis of her looks and he was right to. She has the looks and like the other waitresses who work the lounge she’s daring.Daring,meaning she’s not worried about working topless or calling the shots if the playboys who book the lounge have any special sexual requests. She does it all and said so on her resumé.

From blow jobs to threesomes and other requests.

That was what she had written.

Up until last year this woman would have been my type, my kind of woman who’d be as daring and adventurous as me.

Tonight.. no.

“I thought you might want a drink,” she says, resting against the wall. She looks at me with her large green eyes like she’s committing me to memory.

“I don’t need a drink. But thank you,” I say.

“Anything else you need?” Seduction ripples from her in waves with the question and she pushes off the wall and makes her way over to me. She sits on the edge of my desk and her little negligee rides up her hips and she parts her legs wide enough so I can see she’s not wearing any panties.

She smiles and I narrow my eyes at her. I sit back against the leather of my chair and give her a crude smile when she widens her legs even more exposing her pussy lips with a bright smile on her face.

“I think if you like your job, I would really love it if you could go back to the lounge and do your work,” I remark, much to her disappointment.

The smile on her face recedes and she stands knowing not to push me. I’m one of these guys who I think she knows appears to be even tempered but cross me and it will be your first and last strike.

“Oh… um…okay…” She doesn’t look at me as she walks out. I didn’t expect her to.

What I also don’t expect is to see Gabe standing at my door.

He was about to knock when she pushed it open and walked past him, not before glancing back though at the mess his face still is.

Gabe’s face is still fucked and it’s actually swollen.

“Can I come in?” he asks and I nod.

He walks in and I straighten up. I’m still ready to pop a bullet, and I’m still reminding myself that he’s my brother.

He sits in the chair in front of me and we stare at each other.
