Chapter Thirteen

“Bastard!” Rita slammed the cell phone on the table. “He fucking hung up on me.”

She glanced fearfully at Drake but relaxed when he ignored her to dial a number on his cell. “And?” he barked as soon as the call was answered. A smile split open his face. “Are you sure?”

Rita jumped in fright as his fist cracked on the table followed by a gruff shout of excitement. “Good work, my friend. Now that we know where he is, find out everything about him. Where he lives, who he hangs out with. I want it all.”

“What was that all about?” she asked petulantly as he ended the call and kicked back the Lazy Boy recliner. A self-satisfied smirk turned him into a sinister devil.

“Don’t pout, little darling. You did well. You kept him on the phone long enough for my gambling buddy at the FBI to trace the call. Your beloved ex-husband is in Key West—the playpen of the rich and famous.”

“So what? He’s made it abundantly clear that he owes me nothing. He’s not going to fall for any story we spin, Drake.”

“If I wasn’t in such a good mood, your disrespect would’ve been corrected accordingly. Just leave it to me. I know what I’m doing.

You’ve become a shell of the woman I used to admire. The one who fed my desires and excitement with your ability to break the strongest masochist. That was the only thing that attracted me to you … and without it … you’ve become a weakling that disgusts me.” He leaned forward. “Get your shit together and show me that spunk again, bitch … or …”

The threat hung heavy in the atmosphere but said it all. Drake wouldn’t hesitate to kick her to the curb. It was the one thing that scared the hell out of her. She hadn’t been alone, not ever, in her life. The prospect of being out in the cold with no one to care for her and feed the masochistic needs in her to reach fulfillment within herself through pain, left her going weak and struggling to breathe.

“You know why I don’t … why I can’t ... “

“Spare me the theatrics. Those whores deserved what they got. You, my darling, were magnificent then … If you’re not careful,
