Fuck. My heart pinches, and it’s foreign to feel any movement in my body that’s not my cock twitching or spitting rage.
 
 Me: Gemma7…
 
 Gemma7: Yeah?
 
 Me: I’m sure he wants something real with you. How can he not?
 
 Gemma7: He asks to sleep with me whenever we’re together. He says, I’m his.
 
 I guffaw loudly. That’s right bad girl, piss me off and put me in my place.
 
 Me: So why aren’t you his?
 
 Gemma7: I told you, I’m working with him. Plus, I don’t want to mess up my chance for a promotion.
 
 There is no way she’s getting that promotion. Daniel Vance is a sleazeball.
 
 She’s mine. And when this is done, she’s coming back to New York with me.
 
 Me: Where and when will you sleep with him?
 
 Gemma7: I see him tomorrow. He’s got a villa on the strip.
 
 Does she know that if a stranger came here to fuck with me, he’d be leaving in a body bag? But a more troublesome thought takes shape. Would she give my address to a stranger?
 
 I need to test her …
 
 Me: Where?
 
 Gemma7: I’d rather not say.
 
 “Good girl, sparkles.”
 
 Gemma7: What if he and I go to lunch and we get busy in the bathroom? I can video it.
 
 Me: No. I want to see it live.
 
 I can’t bear her coming up with any other ideas I’ll love. Trysts that won’t ever happen.
 
 Me: Do it. I’ll find you.
 
 Gemma7: Have you been…following me?
 
 Me: No comment. If this man wants to fuck you, he won’t care where. He’ll just want to grind against you.
 
 Gemma7: Then what?
 
 Me: I’ll be there. Watching. Anger pulsing through my body.
 
 Gemma7: Are you going to hurt me?
 
 Me: Do you want me to hurt you?
 
 Gemma7: No.
 
 Me: Then I won’t. I will never hurt you, Gemma7.
 
 Gemma7: You made me nervous the other night.
