“I spotted you the moment you drove through town. Thatdon’t fuck with meface told me everything I needed to know. The rest was pure curiosity.”

“Yes,” he answered. “According to the rest of the world, we still operate out of California. All clients call that number and are rerouted here.”

“And how long do you think that will last?”

“Hopefully, a long fucking time. Over the last year, we’ve managed to gain a few enemies and get wrapped up in some things that have proved more than a nuisance.”

“And you’re using the silo to accomplish this.”

His face turned hard at my theory.

“Look, you called me here. Either you level with me, or I walk. I’m not interested in getting involved in someone else’s shit.”

“Fair enough. We have a facility underground. It’s quite large, but obviously, the number of men I have working for me, and the constant coming and goings would draw attention. I need someone on the property to detract from that.”

“You want me as your lookout?” I said in surprise.

“I want you as my FO. We would build a garage on the property for you, large enough to take care of your current clients and all the maintenance and…other fixes on our vehicles.”

“You’re minivans,” I grinned. “I saw them as I pulled up. I gotta say, I didn’t see a protection company driving minivans.”

“It wasn’t by choice. They came with the property.”

I laughed, picturing his guys driving around in women’s vehicles while trying to protect people. But I had to admit, it was ingenious—an easy way to blend in on a job. Usually, people watched out for SUVs, but a minivan was driven by soccer moms.

“So, are you in?”

“Let me think on it. I’m not looking to get involved in anything like this.”

“It doesn’t have to be like that. You can strictly be the front end of the house. I’m just looking for a little deflection so the whole town isn’t looking into my business.”

“Trust me, they already are,” I said as I stood. “Your men eat more food than anyone in town. People have noticed.”

“Maybe I should get some cows,” he joked.

“Wouldn’t be a bad idea. I’ll get back to you,” I said, heading for the door. I had my own shit to deal with. Moving a business wasn’t exactly in the cards right now. Then again, if they were offering to build and move me, that was another story.

I pulled the door open, ready to leave when a petite, adorable woman stepped into the space. She had to be the secretary or something, but she was dressed in all leather.

“Sorry,” I mumbled, stepping to the side at the same time as her. She shifted with me, shooting me a smirk as we did the same dance again in the opposite direction.

“You’re in my way,” she pointed out.

“That I am.” I grinned down at her, taken in by her beauty and incredibly sexy body. No woman should look that good in leather.

“Boss, you called?”

“Yeah, can you do me a favor and show Duke around the property?”

She sighed in irritation. “Do I look like the secretary?”

“You’re not?” I said in surprise.

Her eyes flicked to mine, full of mirth and a hint of danger. “They like to keep me downstairs. I work in IT.”

“Ah, a computer nerd. That makes more sense.”

“Does it?” Her eyes twinkled as she stared at me. God, she was fucking beautiful. I wanted to wrap my hands around her hair and tug her against me. I could already imagine this woman’s tiny frame riding my cock.
