I glance at the Pakhan and his wife one more time just in case. I can't help but wonder if Luna knows about me. I'm sure she does. They seemed well informed about the goings on of the Mafia. I hope she doesn't hate me. I am, after all, almost in the same situation. I have no damn choice at all. I hear someone sit in the seat beside me and I turn to look. Damn it, it's that guy.
"Hello, beautiful. I haven't seen you here before."
"I'm just visiting," I say, trying not to sound flirtatious.
"That's too bad." He smirks at me and I can tell he is getting excited.
I look around again. I was hoping maybe the Pakhan would be paying attention, but he isn't. I mean, how would that look if he came to my aid anyway?
"You seem nervous. Are you waiting for someone?" He asks me.
I shake my head no "No. Just enjoying my drink."
"You should come and dance with me. Russian men are known to be excellent lovers."
I laugh. I can't help it. I'm sure that's true because I can't get Vlad out of my mind. But this man isn't Vlad, and I am not interested.
"You think that's funny?"
I nod "Yeah I do."
"You shouldn’t laugh at a man, little girl. He might find that rude." He growls.
I hear a string of Russian behind me and by the look on this man's face; I am guessing it wasn't very nice. I look behind me and see Vlad standing there with an angry look on his face. I smile at him and he motions for me to stand up. I do as he asks and I can feel the heat radiating off of him. It makes me tingle all over. I want to touch him so badly, but I know I am being watched. I have to be no way they would let me come here alone.
Vlad slides his arm around me and leads me away from the man. I glance over my shoulder and I can see him staring at us.
"Why did you do that? They are going to know that you want me now."
"You are the Don's daughter. What kind of host would I be if I let random men hit on you? You are the Pakhan's guest. I could not let that slide. And I don't care if they know I want you, Rose. I just don't give a fuck." He growls.
When we pass a speaker, I pull him to me so I can whisper shout in his ear. "I don't know if I am bugged Vlad."
He nods, and he waves to a huge Russian that's standing at the door. He sets me up in the VIP area. "Stay here. I will be right back." He says before he walks over to the guard.
I watch as he talks to the guard. He whispers something in his ear and the man nods. Vlad walks back to me. He bends down and whispers in my ear. "He will be back with something to see if they bugged you." I stiffen.
If they remove it, Sal will know, and I will pay the price, I am sure.
"Not to worry, whatever it is, we will simply remove the item and set it somewhere safe to give back to you when you leave."
I nod "Okay. Thank you."
The tall man he calls Anton does a sweep and finds a bug in my necklace and one of my earrings. I removed both items, and Anton removed them from the area.
"Now Rose, you are welcome to stay here in the VIP lounge. Or you can come somewhere safe with me so we can speak privately. I have ... some questions. I would like to talk to you alone if that is okay."
I look around the club. I don't see anyone I know, and even if I did; they aren't able to get into this VIP area.
"Will anyone see us leave? I don't know if I am being watched or not. If I am, then you may have a problem. They are planning something. I don't know what, but they are trying to use me as bait to get to you." I confess.
"Don't worry about it, Rose." He stands and puts his hand out to me.
"Vlad, you don't understand. If they see me go off with you, I am as good as dead. Sal will kill me."
"I said don't worry about it."
I reach up and place my hand on his. He leads me to a door in the corner and opens it. He steps back so I can go first. I walk in and he follows. The room is beautiful and there is a large desk in the middle with a computer monitor on it. There is a couch along the back wall and a mini fridge on the other side.
