“You got it.”
“You think she’s a main squeeze for Santiago. Don’t you?”
I’d thought about that several times since leaving the condo. “If she’s not, her roommate who happens to be her cousin is, which still isn’t the best of circumstances. She’ll be recruited the moment Santiago gets a look at her. Given the girl is hurting for money, my guess is she’ll think it’s a sweet deal being a mule.”
Diego Santiago was a brutal son of a bitch, the kind of man who believed he owned the world. His empire stretched from Florida through parts of the south, his products coming from South America as well as portions of Europe. He owned a portion of the local law enforcement, who looked the other way when sudden, savage murders occurred that could be directly linked to his organization. Several of the men he held in his pocket were members of the club. What I’d learned early on was that by allowing them to enter the club, I could keep better tabs on what was occurring throughout the city and beyond.
After all, information was power.
He laughed, shaking his head. “Yeah, that is a mess. I assume you walked away and told her to have a nice day.”
“Not exactly.”
“Is this where the part about you did something bad comes in?”
“Partially. I had to take her home since her car might be totaled.”
“Let me guess. You called your buddy Jake to handle the situation.”
“Yep. That’s not all.” Jagger had seen me at my worst, carting me home after a drunken night out on the town. Admitting the carnal event was somehow worse. “I might have enjoyed spending time with her.” I lowered my head, lifting a single eyebrow.
Jagger’s entire face was suddenly made of stone. “You fucked her.”
“And I spanked her for being reckless.”
“Jesus motherfucking Christ. What the hell is wrong with you?”
“That’s what I’m saying. And she’s barely out of school.”
When his mouth dropped open, he cursed in Spanish under his breath then headed for the bar. “You’re shitting me.”
I laughed to myself as he tossed bourbon into a glass of his own. “I wish I were.”
“How young?”
“Young.”
“Please tell me she’s at least over eighteen?”
“I think she is.”
“You think.” He stormed closer to the desk, his grip on the glass as firm as mine had been.
“I’m pretty certain.”
“You’re right. This is bad.”
Another vision of her sexy body floated into my mind. Her scent still covered my skin, the taste of her managing to linger in my mouth. “I told you.”
“Please tell me that’s it.”
“Not exactly.”
“Do I need to be sitting down?”
“Maybe.” I took the last swig of my drink, thinking about the Carnal Sins business card I’d left with her including my personal cellphone number. “I offered her a job.”
