Chapter Eleven

I kissed Sonny.

We rode in silence, Sonny’s tight jaw telling me he wasn’t in the mood for conversation. I kept my eyes on the road, wondering where we were going, but I didn’t expect him to turn onto a gravel parking lot at the edge of town.

“The strip club?”

“Yup.”

“Is this where you come to work off your frustrations?” I asked politely.

“No.”

“Are you going to tell me why we’re here?”

“No.”

He hopped out of the truck and I was tempted to stay in the truck, but he pulled the passenger door open and looked at me expectantly. I swung my legs out, knowing he’d drag me out if I didn’t come voluntarily. I started toward the door when he grabbed my hand and tugged me the other direction. I trotted after him as he headed for the back door and pounded on it three times.

A mostly naked woman opened the door, sparing me a glance before shrugging as Sonny went in, pulling me after him. “Thanks, Cat.”

I bit my tongue, desperately wanting to say some smart ass comment about him knowing the strippers by their name, but also not wanting to sound tacky and jealous. We weaved through tables layered with sequins and feather boas, tiny bras and pasties, and a couple of women who didn’t bother to look up from their phones.

Sonny knocked then opened another door, easing me in first before shutting it behind him. A wall of screens met my eyes, each one with a different view, some of the dance platforms and bar area, but a bunch in empty rooms. “They here?”

“Not yet.” I only noticed the man when he spoke, his voice slow and deep, he’d blended into the dark room, only the light coming from the monitors reflecting off his skin. He looked at me curiously, but a glance at Sonny convinced him not to ask questions.

“Thanks for letting me do this,” Sonny rumbled, taking a seat and pulling me down beside him.

“Anything for Pops,” the man answered and I looked at him again, squinting as I tried to figure out who he was and how he knew Pops. The man caught me staring and grinned, white teeth shining in the dark. “Devon. Before your time. Pops convinced me to stay in school and then do a stint in the military. Now I run security for different businesses.”

“I had no idea it was so,” I waved my hand at the wall of cameras. “Fancy.”

“Protecting the women is in the club’s best interests. Nothing goes down without us knowing,” he answered, watching the cameras. I noticed a door opening on one of the screens and he mumbled, “Here we go.”

“The Dorseys do some of their business here,” Sonny murmured quietly. “This is a good way to observe them without them knowing.”

“Also a good way to collect evidence,” Devon hummed, tapping on a keyboard. “Who doesn’t like leverage?”

We watched for a while in silence, seeing the men go to the bar and then a table by the pole.
