“That fat fuck pays my wages,” I say and keep my head high.

We all make choices in life. This is mine. No one is responsible for what I do with my body, only me. Tomas trails his gaze across my face before looking up at the door.

“Speaking of fat fucks…” He walks over to the table and drinks down the glass of champagne.

“Lenny,” he calls as he pulls a gun from his waistband. Tomas takes one final look at me. “Be a good girl and stay in here.”

I don’t respond as he leaves. I’m left clutching the jacket to my chest. I should stay. He had told me to stay here.

I chew my lip as the music continues to pound overhead. A gunshot breaks through the music and I jump. My stomach tightens. Tomas wouldn’t shoot Lenny, would he?

I push the velvet doors open and step out into the club. Two of the girls who were dancing scurry past me with their chins tucked into their chests.

I see my boss on the ground, his hands held high. Tomas is standing over him with a gun pointed at his head. Lenny’s gaze gravitates my way, and he points at me, saying something to Tomas. I can’t hear from this distance.

I shiver when Tomas looks at me. His jaw is set and his eyes darken further. The savage look has dread growing in my stomach as he pulls the trigger.

Chapter three

TOMAS

Blood pools around Lenny’s head. The fat fuck didn’t have my money. I look now at what he offered me as a down payment. Katina’s chest rises and falls fast, and it’s the first sign of fear I’ve seen in her. It’s about time. She shouldn’t be here; she shouldn’t be mixed up with these people. The thought of that fat fuck’s hands on her has me emptying three more rounds into his torso. Each one makes her jump. She doesn’t move as I walk to her.

“You’re coming with me.” I stuff the gun into the waistband of my trousers. Her eyes fill with fear. and she flinches when my fingers circle her wrist.

“He offered you as payment,” I say as her wide blue eyes flicker from Lenny and then back to me.

“Is that what this is? You’re taking me as payment?”

Having her in my bed sounds pretty fucking nice. “No.” I pull her wrist and she follows. The suit jacket opens and flashes me her large breasts.

“Cover yourself up,” I tell her and she does without a word.

I walk out the front doors. The sunlight is harsh. I glance at Katina. She looks dazed, and I release her wrist. She doesn’t speak as she follows me to my car. I open the passenger door for her and she climbs in, showcasing her perfect legs.

“You cost me a job.”

I close the door and kick the engine to life before looking at her. “Are you fucking serious?”

Fear has enlarged her eyes, but she isn’t backing down. “Yes, Tomas. I’m very serious.”

I don’t miss the waver in her voice as I step on the gas. My name sounds too good on her lips. Lips I can see wrapped around my cock.

I glance at her. “I’ll give you a job.”

Her mouth opens and closes before she sits back into the seat. “Good.”

I grin. She’s lippier than I remember. She hasn’t said anything about me shooting Lenny, and that makes me think she might have been around violence a lot more than I thought. I know her brother is deep into it. He works for a different cell, though. I don’t mix friendships with business.

So why the fuck is Katina in my car?

“You couldn’t get anything better than working at a strip joint?” It doesn’t matter. It’s none of my fucking business. But Katina is sexy as fuck, and she doesn’t need to swing around a pole for money.

“Are you actually questioning my line of work?”

I bite down on another grin at her tone with me. “Yes, I am.” I glance at her, and she looks away from me.

She’s more affected by me than I thought.
