“Forty-three?” I shake my head, not having a clue what he’s talking about. Then I remember he still has my journal with my dirtiest fantasies inside. But I have no idea what I wrote on page forty-three. “Whatever it is, I want you to do it.”
He grins wickedly. “My pleasure, wifey.”
A few minutes later, I’m naked with my arms tied to my calves with rope. A camera is pointed at me as I writhe on my knees and cheek on the bed, waiting for Lennox to reenter the bedroom. I don’t know what he’s planning on doing with the tape, but I’m already dripping and panting with need for him.
And I can’t wait for him to fulfill every fantasy in my journal. Although, I might need to snatch it back so I can add a few new fantasies to it.
“You ready for me, wifey?” Lennox says from the top of the stairs. He’s wearing nothing but his dark jeans and a devouring wolfish grin.
“Yes, I’m always ready for you.”
Epilogue
Lennox
I glance at my phone to check the time. It’s five past eleven, exactly when we said we would meet.
I nurse my whiskey as I sit in the back booth of the crowded bar. I’m not sure if they’ll show up or if they even received my message. But I’ll wait until I finish my drink at least before I give up on them. It’s important that we speak.
Suddenly, two men slide into my booth. It takes me a second to even recognize them. Hayes has the hood of his sweatshirt over his hair, and he’s lost his signature glasses. Unless a lot has changed, he can’t see shit right now, as I know he refuses to wear contacts. And Gage is wearing a baseball cap over his buzzed head and sunglasses.
“Thanks for meeting me,” I say.
“Of course, but I’ll send you a new protocol from now on to arrange meetings,” Gage says.
I nod. I doubt we will need to chat again for a while, but it’s probably best.
“How have you two been? Is everything okay with the Retribution Kings?”
“If you’re asking if we are ready for phase two of the plan, then yes,” Hayes answers.
I want to get straight to the point, but I bite my tongue, keeping from speaking.
“Rialta finally tell you that she loves you?” Hayes teases.
“Yes. We’re happy together. And Vincent has made me his heir.”
“Good, then phase one is complete,” Gage says.
I nod, feeling uneasy for not including Rialta in this meeting, from hiding things from her. But she can never know the truth; it would risk everything.
“You set up Kit?” I ask.
“Yes,” Gage answers.
“So, he was innocent?”
“No, he wasn’t innocent. The evidence we planted for Rialta to find was true—he belonged to the Crimson Cartel. They found out where Vincent sent Rialta and planted him in her life. Told him to make her fall for him so he could marry her and take over the Corsi men. He wasn’t innocent—”
“He’s just not The Abyss,” I finish.
“No, he’s not,” Hayes confirms.
I hesitate before speaking. “Are we sure we want to continue the plan now that—”
“Yes,” Hayes and Gage each say.
Hayes looks to Gage, and he explains. “Yes, we agreed at the beginning of this that no matter what, we would continue to the end. So we are continuing with or without you.”
