Carrying the two items I bought today while taking my turn watching Dimitri's second in command.
The man seems to be obeying the terms of the agreement, but I take nothing for granted. When he goes into a sex toy shop, I follow.
He informs the owner that she will have to work with suppliers from another state to get what she wants to order from them. The bratva are smuggling sex toys from China so they aren't subject to tariffs or commodity restrictions.
It's a lucrative market. We should be in it too and I text as much to my brother before purchasing a pair of pink satin lined leather cuffs and matching sleep mask, clearly intended to be used as a blindfold.
Lucia is in her office when I get to the club. It's Sunday and she doesn't work tonight. The perfect time to play with our new equipment.
Her beautiful gaze lights up when she sees me standing in the open door of her office. "Atlas." The way she says my name sends blood surging to my cock. "You're back."
I hold up the handcuffs and sleep mask, dangling from my forefinger. "Time for a break."
Her eyes dilate and her lips part as she starts to breathe shallowly, but she doesn't get up.
"Come,eromenis mou. You have been working all day." It's not a shot in the dark.
"I need to finish this…"
Shaking my head from side to side, I stalk toward her. "You can finish tomorrow. You didn't even take a break for lunch."
The tracker I put on her phone shows she has not left her office since I drove away this morning.
"How do you know that? Did Willow rat me out?"
"Willow didn't have to. I know you, Lucia." I don't mention the tracker. It only confirmed what I already suspected.
And she doesn't need to know about all the measures I take to keep her safe.
Her smile is blinding. "Yes, you do."
I put my hand out toward her
Getting up from her chair, she takes it. Her eyes are focused on the leather pieces in my other hand though. "Are those new?"
"Yes." I am surprised she feels the need to ask. "I will never use something on you that has touched another woman."
A small puff of air escapes her mouth as she shivers. "Good."
"Is anyone else here?" Bobby says there isn't, but I want confirmation from Lucia.
She shakes her head, her silky dark hair swaying over her shoulders. "Willow left an hour ago."
"Any deliveries scheduled?"
"We have two cases of spirits that should arrive in a couple of hours," she says.
"I will take care of it."
"There's no need. I know you think I can't lift a case of liquor, but I promise I can. I'll accept the order."
"You'll be tied up." I watch for when the meaning of my words penetrates.
She gulps and darts a look down at the handcuffs. "Tied up…by those?"
"Yes."
"In two hours?"
