He glances at me. “There’s a big market,” he says. “Women, girls. Men all over the world are eager to buy from me.”
“So they can marry them?” I ask hopefully.
He sniggers. “They’re probably already married, sladost. They want extra.”
“Like a mistress?”
He nods. “Or a sex slave.”
“Did Lara know about this?” I ask.
It was the wrong thing because his eyes darken again, and I feel him shutting down. “Stay in here. Do not wander about into other bedrooms,” he mutters, heading for the door.
“Stay,” I bark, and his hand stills on the doorknob. I don’t know why I blurted it out, but I know he can’t go back to that poor woman and hurt her. “Please.”
CHAPTER NINE
IVAN
She’s asking me to stay to save the girl. It’s obvious as I take a seat and her body visibly relaxes. She’s putting herself at risk to save a woman she doesn’t even know.
“Tell me about your affair.” She doesn’t like to tell me about herself, but she sits back on the bed and crosses her legs.
“I told you, it was his best friend.”
“You don’t seem the type to hurt someone,” I say, bemused.
“You don’t know me,” she mutters, looking away. “I can be a selfish bitch.”
“How did he find out?”
“Nick and Liam were inseparable. They grew up together.” She literally ruined his friendship. I laugh hard, and she hesitates before continuing. “I’d been seeing Liam behind Nick’s back for about six months. He found us in bed together.”
I smirk. “Who’s bed?”
“Mine and Nick’s.”
“So, you lived with Nick?” She nods. “And you fucked his best friend, in the bed you shared?” She nods again, and I laugh harder. “You’re a savage. Who came on to who?” I’m enjoying her discomfort.
“I did,” she admits quietly.
I sit forward. “You came on to Liam?” She nods. “Why?” She shrugs. “Don’t hold back, sladost. There was a reason you fucked your man’s best friend.”
“Things weren’t great between Nick and me. He was never home and—”
“Where was he?” I cut in.
“Working.”
“Providing for you?” I ask.
“No, I worked too. I paid my way.”
“What did you do?”
“I was a manager,” she says, and it’s the first time she looks proud.
“Of?”
