“Cedric, can you tell me the status on the staff we’re looking into hiring?” Finley asks stepping into my office.
I lift my gaze from the computer screen where I’m finishing up doing the background checks on the last of the staff we’d decided to go with. In the past week, we’ve had several bartenders call out with the ‘flu’ but we know that’s not it. Stupid fuckers who work for Preacher have been making noise. I don’t know if it’s because they know we’ve got Arwen. I need to make the call to Danti and let him know. He and his brother, Amer, are the only ones I trust at the moment.
“Just got them finished up,” I mutter, jerking my chin toward the printer.
“Good,” she says, taking a seat in the chair across the way, her hand going to her stomach. “What about the applications for the membership for the second floor?”
“Already done. Don’t see a problem with two of them. The others are no-goes. They lied about the funds,” I inform her and slide over to my printer to grab the background checks. “And before you ask, Halton and Dalton are out dealing with some dickheads who didn’t want to pay for the loans we gave them. Link is also out collecting a late payment from one of our members who didn’t pay on time.”
“Swear sometimes you read my mind,” she mutters. “What about Danti? Did you speak to him yet about Arwen?” The question comes cautiously, and I wonder what she’s thinking. When I called him weeks ago, he didn’t answer or call back. Both Finley and Mara-Lee suggested giving my woman a little more time. That we’d handle everything when the time comes.
“Planning on calling him next.” I nod, turning back to her with the papers in hand. “Arwen doesn’t know though.”
“Might be a good thing,” Finley says, meeting my gaze head on. “You do know this situation isn’t easy on—”
“I know it’s not.” I don’t give her a chance to finish. I know she’s talking about Mara-Lee and how it’s a good thing Arwen doesn’t remember her. Mara-Lee’s not ready to face the past which is another reason I’ve held off on calling Danti. Once he knows I’ve got Arwen with me he’ll want to see her, and that can’t happen. Not until he’s got that shit with his father and uncles handled.
“Still, we need to let him know. If we want to work together on business then it’s only right that we give this to Danti,” Finley murmurs, but she looks to be lost in thought.
“You okay?” I ask, leaning forward, bracing my elbows on the chair.
Smiling, Finley nods. “Yeah, I’m okay. Just thinking.”
“Right.” I’m not going to get into it with Finley if she doesn’t want to talk about it. When she’s ready she’ll lay it on me.
For the next twenty minutes the two of us go over the applications and background checks. Together we agree on three out of the ten who seem like they’d fit in with our club.
Night’s Bliss is Finley’s baby, and we all do our part to keep it running the way we do. With me handling the security and whatever else Fin needs me to do alongside her. Mara-Lee handles the girls on the second floor, and Finley does the rest. Well, Ainslee is starting to take over some of her woman’s duties, when she’s not doing schoolwork.
Finley takes the papers with her and says she’ll give them to Scarlett, one of the girls who used to be a bartender but is now Fin’s personal assistant.
I sit back in my chair, head to the headrest, and close my eyes, taking a moment to breathe. In the last few weeks, most of the time I’ve worked from the Fort. But some of those days, I’ve needed to come to the club and handle some situations. Just like now, those times Arwen hung out on the second floor with Mara-Lee.
Granted, Mara-Lee is nervous about everything, she gets it and knows where we’re at. I wouldn’t do anything to hurt her and the way she looks at Arwen she doesn’t want her hurting either.
It’s time to make my call to Danti and hope like fuck he’s going to listen.

DANTI
I groan as the woman’s mouth around my cock bobs. The suction she’s using is unbelievable, and I’m ready to blow within minutes of her going down on me. Considering she’s my assistant, I wasn’t expecting her to do this shit, but the moment she got on her knees and whipped my cock out, I wasn’t gonna complain.
Who would complain about having a beautiful woman sucking them off? It’s been one hell of a month, and it’s only going to get worse before it gets better. To make things worse, my little sister is missing.
She ran away and I haven’t been able to find her. It’s imperative I get to her before Father or Uncle Stefano do. I don’t want to see her hurt.
Amer and Benito are the only two right now I trust within the walls that belong to the Petruccelli family. My brothers are the only ones who I know won’t stab me in the back. Well, them and the men who follow my orders and not that of my father or Stefano. Though when it comes to our sister, I have a hard time trusting Benito. It’s as if he despises her. But when we were all kids, he loved and cherished her like Amer and I do. Something I don’t know about had to have happened for him to be the way he is now.
Ready to shoot my load, I wrap my fingers in my assistant’s hair and quicken her pace. She hums around my cock and that’s all it takes. Coming in her mouth I groan in satisfaction.
Once the last drop seeps from the head of my shaft, I pull her off my dick and release her in order to tuck myself away. I hope she doesn’t expect me to return the favor since I didn’t ask her to suck me off. She did that on her own accord.
I spin my chair around to face my desk, hearing her huff in annoyance, having figured out I’m not gonna fuck her.
I take her in out of my peripheral and wait for her to exit my office. I pick my phone off the desk in order to call Amer when it rings. Furrowing my brow as I read the name popping up—Cedric. I missed his call a few weeks ago and hadn’t called him back. His boss, Finley, and I came to an agreement that we’d have an alliance between the two of us after I finished doing what I’m working on.
With a swipe of my finger on the screen, I answer. “To what do I owe the pleasure for this call.”
