An hour later our limo pulls up outside a place I’ve never heard of before. I take Con’s outstretched hand and follow him through the revolving front doors. A blanket of red carpet stretches out in front of me with a leather settee dotting the expansive foyer. What doesn’t have carpet is all marble. Crystal chandeliers hang overhead. There’s no doubt someone with power owns this place and my men are here to meet with them.

A faux raven-haired beauty greets us the second we come out the other side of the revolving door. Her smile is wide, genuine and her hand in mine is soft, but her grip is firm.

Dante and Bastian come up behind me. Cocooned between all three I know I’m safe, but I still get the chills up my spine knowing why the carpet is red. Or at least I think I do and it’s not a comforting thought.

“Welcome to Club Genesis. You slash ’em we stash ’em.”

Con’s face doesn’t even twitch, but I don’t have the same resilience against her brand of humor.

“You’ll have to forgive Con. His humor is as dry as the desert.” I slip my hand into his and he twines our fingers together. Sweet, right? I don’t think so. His hard look aimed my way promises torture in my future.

“My humor is just fine,” he drawls slowly with his accent coming to the forefront. “I was only trying to remember if I slashed the last guy or not. Or if we needed more of a stab and slab kind of service.”

Words roll off his tongue that I’ve never heard before.

I fight a smile and lose. “Con telling jokes…must be a full moon out.”

“No joke, malyshka.” Con winks at me and I know right then and there, if I ever had any doubt, the men I’ve fallen for have a much darker side I’ve yet to see.

And now all I can think about is if I’ve met any of their victims before. The guy who kidnapped young girls for a rival family in their territory? I only caught whispers of him, but I heard enough to understand his crimes. He visited the men a few times and then suddenly nada.

My mind wanders down those lengthy corridors with various people’s faces popping up in my mind’s eye who have come and gone at their Seattle penthouse.

I let my mind have full rein until Bastian’s and Dante’s rough rumbles of laughter send goosebumps over my skin. One of the two steps so close to my ass I can practically feel them touching the rose plug…well, in my rosebud if you know what I mean.

I wait for the wash of heat to cool, but as the seconds tick by and they continue to talk I’m only growing hotter under this dress.

“I knew you guys would be funny. Harlon says my jokes turn people off. I say when you’re in the business we are in, a little dark humor livens up the place.”

Our greeter shoves a hand into Con’s.
