His hand slipped down and he patted her butt in acknowledgment. A tiny little shiver sluiced down her spine, but it wasn’t of fear. She looked up at him, he looked down at her, and desire ignited through her body. The most delicious, panty-wetting yet terrifying desire she’d ever experienced. She had had two relationships in her life, and they paled to the heat singeing through her blood. As they locked gazes, all other thoughts ceased to exist. It was only him and her in the whole fucking world.

Draco stopped at the first door on the left when they reached the second floor and cleared his throat to get their attention. Her cheeks heated and she took a deep breath to ground herself. Draco opened the door.

“This one has its own bathroom.”

“Yay!” she squealed. Both men stared at her in surprise and she sheepishly shrugged. “It’s the little things in life.”

Lunch was a cacophony of noise bombarding her in all directions. Vivi grabbed a sandwich and tried to tune it all out. It was nothing but boring biker talk. That club was nothing but assholes. This club owed them money. That club had all the pretty sweet butts. It was a study on MC culture.

After eating, she headed into the kitchen and saw a couple of women cleaning up. Vivi walked over to the dishwasher where one lady was loading it.

“Thanks,” she said, sounding like she had smoked one too many cigarettes.

“Can I help?” Vivi asked.

“That’s sweet of you, but I think we have it handled.”

“I’m Vivi.”

“Sally,” she replied. “That old lady is Willa and the other is Jessy.”

Vivi smiled at each woman. “I want to say thank you for allowing Lincoln and I to crash here. I’d be happy to pitch in and help if you need anything.”

“Aw, can we keep her?” Willa asked, smiling. “Too many sluts in this club.”

Vivi blinked. “I’ll stay if Lincoln stays. I just met him but I’m keeping him.”

“Oh, it’s like that, eh?” Sally said with a laugh. “I was the same way with Rocky. As soon as I saw him, I said I was marrying that man. And here we are, twenty-two years later.”

“Are you here for the party?” Willa asked her.

Vivi looked back and forth between each woman. “Party?”

“It’s Draco’s birthday bash tonight!”

“Oh, well, shoot,” Vivi said, biting her lower lip. “I think we’re going out, and I don’t have a present for him.”

“The party is going to last all night,” Sally said. “As for a present, you could always flash him your tits.”

“I don’t think they’re as impressive as you think they are,” Vivi noted, looking down at her unimpressive chest.

“Doesn’t matter,” Willa said, patting her arm. “Tits are tits.”

Chapter Sixteen

The home of Pietro Romanelli was breathtaking. Lincoln drove up to a high-fenced gate and stopped in front of the guard shack. Trees lined the perimeter, maintaining privacy. Vivi saw several patrolling men in black tactical clothes, holding deadly looking automatic guns. The guard at the gate stepped out and Lincoln rolled down his window.

“We have an appointment with Mr. Romanelli.”

“Your license, please.”

Lincoln pulled out his wallet and handed over his driver’s license. After the man scanned it into the computer, he handed it back.

“You will stay on the driveway. If you deviate from it, you will be shot. Once you reach the chateau, you will exit your truck and submit to a body search. If you do not allow this to happen, you will be escorted off the property. There will be no weapons allowed inside the house. You will not be allowed to take photos or record discussions. Do you understand these concessions?”

“Yes,” Lincoln replied and Vivi also gave her affirmation.
