She nods.
“Are there certain requirements for the guards upon arrival?”
“I . . .”
I clamp my hand into her curly tresses, bringing her face down toward the unconscious man. “As you can see, he’s breathing, is he not?”
After I’ve squeezed a few strands to their breaking point, the beautiful chef whimpers, “Yes.”
“If there’s a requirement upon arrival from the guard, I’ll keep him alive. If there’s not, I’ll...”
In Arabic, she stutters, “Spare me.”
“Ahhh, I see you understand now. I only require one of you. So, he dies?” I extract my hand from her hair, and the momentary relief flees the second I place said palm around her throat. “I’m not particularly fond of murdering women.”
She tries to speak.
“I’m a human lie detector. So, I’ll place my fingers on your wrists. Calm now.”
She heaves tiny, measured breaths.
“Yes, stay calm, or I won’t be able to gather an accurate assessment. You will die at that time.”
She nods.
I remove my hand from her soft skin, jealous that I can’t have my hands all over my lover.Will Luxury allow me to hold her if I get back to her?
My index and middle finger press at the chef’s wrists while I look her in the eyes. “Are you calm?”
“Yes.”
Do you still love me, Luxury?
“Do you?” I almost glance away as the stranger’s brows knit.Vic, you bloodytosser, focus. “Alright, good. What’s your name?”
“Yegane,” she mutters.
I start with a simple battery of questions, including her age.
Twenty-four.
Then I start over, not because I sense dishonesty, but because of Luxury and me.
Will my lady be receptive to my love for her?
Finally, Yegane and I return to the more imperative shite.
“Are there guards? Do the guards rotate with you as well? How many men are below ground? How many rooms?”
With the lay of the land snug in my psyche, I gesture toward the vehicle. As Yegane climbs inside, I’ve expired the smaller guard and hefted him over my shoulder to place him in the trunk of the ride. Then I follow the same practice with the larger wanka, so there’s nothing left to allude to their sheikh’s imminent demise.

During the span of the long ride, I’ve set Yegane at ease by discussing my life with her. Her pitch irises gleam as I mention a position of employment at Tudor Enterprise and the compensation package.
Of course, she will not survive this. However, I require Yegane’s total trust.
