We slowly sidled around the room, listening to conversations, and watching the scenes in the small intimate corners of the room.

“We’ve drawn attention,” Allegra whispered.

I backed her against the wall. “Where?”

Allegra’s arms draped over my shoulders as I ran my nose along her neck. If we wanted information, we needed to blend in. But fuck, my cock wasn’t concerned about witnesses. I opened my mouth over her neck and sucked the tender flesh below her ear.

She tipped her head. “Tatted guy with muscles. Looks like he could be one of your soldiers. He’s with a tall woman. She’s beautiful, and she looks Italian. She’s thin, and she’s wearing a leather corset, pleated miniskirt, and thigh-high boots. If she keeps eye fucking you from across the room, I’m going to take out my knife and gut her.”

“Your inclination towards violence fucks with me, little mouse.” I shifted Allegra, barely lifting my gaze to mark the woman.

“Do you know her?” she asked.

“No, but perhaps Luca did.” I smiled with my lips against Allegra’s skin. “We’re about to find out. They’re coming over.” I released Allegra and faced the woman.

“Ciao, Luca, è bello rivederti.”Hello, Luca, it’s nice to see you again, she said as she approached. As she stared into my face, the smile fell from her lips. “I’m sorry. I thought you were someone else.”

“I’m sure if Luca were here, he would also think it is nice to see you. Luca was my brother.”

“Hewasyour brother?” Her brows pinched, and her voice cracked on the words.

“He was murdered.”

She gasped, and her fingers covered her mouth. “I’m so sorry.”

“And you are?”

“Gabriella. This is my husband, Torch.” The man behind her wrapped an arm around her hip.

“My wife, Allegra. I’d like to talk to you about Luca. Would you like to sit down?”

Torch led them to an empty seating arrangement a few feet away.

Once we were all seated, I rested my forearms on my knees. “Were you and Luca friends?” Was she another one of his pets, and how did her husband feel about his wife submitting to another Dom?

“Business associates.”

Unlikely. Luca wouldn’t mix business with pleasure. She was in a sex club. They either fucked, or he was angling for a way to fuck her. If she was into pain and punishment, she was Luca’s type.

“Luca was here doing business with Alex Ferraro,” I said.

She nervously glanced to her husband.

“If you want to talk business,” he said, “talk to the Boss.”

“I am the boss. Why do you think I have access to the club?” A flare of heat rushed through me. I respected a protective husband, but I was tired of obstacles. He could easily be removed as one. “Alex is aware of my purpose here. This was Luca’s kink, not mine.”

Allegra’s hand slid onto my thigh.

“Nah,” Torch said. “You’re full of shit. The boss would never agree to letting you grill members. Fuck that.” He stood, taking Gabriella’s hand.

“My brother was murdered.” I stood, glaring at the man. “I don’t give a fuck about anonymity. Should the conversation need to happen outside the club, it won’t be for a social call. Sit down before you draw attention and complicate this situation.”

Allegra shifted her legs, allowing the slit in her skirt to reveal the hilt of her blade.

Torch sat next to Gabriella. His hand rested possessively on her bare thigh.

“Who are you?” Gabriella asked.
