Grant stole a look at his partner. “Do you know a submissive by the name of Skyler?”
A small tick in the corner of Ralph’s mouth was the only indication that he recognized the name, but Montana caught the gesture. “I can see that you do. Can you tell me what happened on the night you were with her?”
Hesitating, Ralph finally looked away. “She got cold feet. Nothing more. Why?”
“Cold feet? As in she didn’t like the thought of you beating her?” Grant asked under his breath.
“How dare you? What occurs has nothing to do with beating. I can see that you’re a Neanderthal when it comes to the art of Domination and submission.”
Ralph’s exclaim was heartfelt, but there was something hiding under the man’s bravado. “Mr. Peterson, we simply want to know what occurred on the night you were with her.”
“Nothing. She wasn’t ready. That’s it.” Ralph looked away.
Montana noticed his hand was shaking. “Where was this meeting?”
“At my…at another place resident I own.” Ralph rubbed his forehead. “Why are you here?”
“We simply want to ask you a few questions, nothing more.” Grant smiled and nodded.
Ralph looked from one to the other. “No. I think it’s time you leave. If you have any specific questions, you can certainly contact my attorney.”
Montana sighed. “Just one last question, Mr. Peterson. This other residence. Do you have someone staying there?”
The question seemed to catch him off guard. “The location is furnished to sell, detective. Did I take this submissive there so that my family wouldn’t find out? Yes. That’s not a crime. Being a member of the club is also not a crime. Again, anything further and you can contact my attorney. Are we clear?”
Grant snorted. “Very. Thank you for your time.”
He waited for a full minute before following grant outside. Sighing, he squinted as he looked up at the sky.
“What do you think?”
“I think the man knows a lot more than he’s telling. I also think we need to get a look at this other residence.”
“That’s not going to happen, partner. No judge in their right mind will issue a warrant for a sexual escapade.”
“True.” He turned his head. Mr. Reynolds was watching from a window. Perhaps there were many more secrets held tightly within the bowels of the club.
Grant nodded as he yanked out his cell phone. “Yep. Interesting society. I’m surprised Jade allowed the man to leave her club.”
Montana placed his hands on his hips. “Oh, I have no doubt there is a very special client list.”
“Then we need to get ahold of that list.”
“I doubt that’s going to happen without pulling teeth.” Or without pissing off a hell of a lot of influential men. The fire was roaring.
“Well some good news, anyway. We have the warrant to search Michael’s place. Let’s get to it.”
“Sure.” He took a couple of steps then looked back, an eerie feeling slithering down his spine. Why did he have the distinct feeling that Mr. Peterson was on the phone, calling the good Mistress?
CHAPTER 18
“The lady will have a glass of cabernet. I’ll have a Chivas Regal bourbon, neat.”
Destiny leaned forward in her seat. “Not very Mexican restaurant like.”
“Would you prefer Tecate and two shots of tequila?”
She rolled her eyes and glanced up at the waiter. “Wine is fine.”
