Pulling up to the estate, the only other car parked in front of the house belongs to Edmund. He must have just arrived because he’s stepping out as I pull to a stop.

“My cock is like one of Pavlov’s fucking dogs,” Edmund blurts out the words the moment I open my door. “He gets all excited as soon as I see this place.”

“It’s a business night. Keep your cock in your pants,” I huff. “And fucking far away from me.”

He laughs as we make our way to the front door. As usual, cocktails are waiting for us when we walk through the door. Each of us collecting ours, we make our way to the dining room—which is our makeshift boardroom of sorts.

“Did you take care ofyourproblem?” Edmund questions as we take our seats. “I’m assuming no, since you never called to know what foundation to put her in.”

“Almost.”

“Almost?” Edmund repeats my response to me. “Are you going soft in your old age?”

“I hear they make a pill for that,” Liz quips from the doorway.

“My cock is anything but soft, sweet child,” I snark at her, as she and Will take their seats.

“Where’s the kid?” Edmund questions.

“Right fucking here.” His words are slightly slurred.

This kid is going to be a fucking problem.

I still can’t fathom why Liz lobbied for him to join us.

“Nikki should be arriving in a few minutes.” Liz speaks over everyone. “Are we all up to speed so far?”

Unanimous yesses echo around the round as we all respond to her. The doorbell rings and a moment later the butler escorts her into the room. It’s the redhead entering behind her who immediately draws Edmund’s attention.

“You were supposed to come alone.” Liz’s tone is abrasive.

“I’m sorry,” Nikki mutters. “I didn’t know how to get back in touch with you. You’re going to want to talk to Harper, too, after this morning.”

“What were you doing with the man at Nikolai’s?” I question.

“I met him through an app that matches men like you to girls like us.” She begins her story. “Only the man that arrived was not the one I was talking to. I was about to bail when he showed me a video.”

“A video?” Liz questions.

Nikki pulls out her phone, pulls up the video and slides her phone across the table. On it plays a shaky video of her, Harper, Edmund, and another blonde all thoroughly enjoying one another.

That fucker.

Edmund passes the phone back to her and she continues, “He threatened to share it with my family and all of UNC if I didn’t give him what he wanted.”

“And what was that?” I ask.

“Sex to keep quiet.”

“And you agreed?” Liz lifts a brow.

“Yes. To a weekly fuck. But then he wanted to know who the other girls were. I was so in shock over the video that I blurted out that Harper was my roommate, and I told him I didn’t know the other girl. I didn’t say anything about any of you. Nothing. I swear.”

“While you aren’t supposed to discuss the other women you meet here, they weren’t covered under the NDA you signed,” Edmund answers the question she hasn’t outright asked.

“Thank God,” she sighs, learning she isn’t currently on the hook to repay us a million dollars.

“The backroom?” I question.
