Negotiation tactics

LINDSAY STEPPED BACK and took a moment to enjoy the sight before her. Seeing Ronin all tethered and bound was a first. Her werewolf never left himself in such a vulnerable position. Not with her. And not with the other wolves. As much as she wanted to take full advantage of his current position, he'd made it clear he intended to finally come clean on all the things he'd been withholding for the last year.

"Let's begin with the basics. Where do you work?" She watched the muscles in his neck work as he swallowed and wondered why this was such a scary question for him to answer.

"I'm a freelance bounty hunter for the most part, but I currently have a contract with the Pinnacles." He met her gaze and offered as much of a shrug as the restraints allowed.

"The Pinnacles? As in the family that owns more of Vegas than anyone else?" Her heart skipped a beat as the weight of his admission landed fully on her.

"Yeah."

"How did you get involved with them?" She hated the way her voice shook as she asked her question. Mostly because she knew the family had fingers in more than strictly legal enterprises all around the area. And if Ronin was a hired hand of theirs, bounty hunter or otherwise, it couldn't be a good thing.

"Honestly?"

"There was a bit of a power struggle between my father and I years ago now. But, to prove I was a man, I thought it would be a good idea to move out and make my own way. I was broken and broke. I met Penelope Pinnacle one night outside a club on the strip and she thought I would be a good body guard..."

He trailed off and her heart sank as the unspoken meaning behind his words became apparent in his squirming against the restraints. "So, you and Penelope became... close?"

"Something like that. She introduced me to her father and before I knew it, I was an errand boy for the family. And when Penelope and her friends went gallivanting, I was the designated body guard." He rolled his head as if attempting to crack his neck before he continued. "Do you remember hearing in the news that she and a group of her friends went missing about two years ago?"

She nodded but wracked her brain to remember any details about the case. "Wasn't it an abduction or something?"

It was his turn to nod. "A fan of hers from the cabaret she was performing in got it in his head she was in love with him. He stalked her pretty hard for about five months before he made his move."

"But you were her body guard, right?"

"Not that night. It was the full moon and I was running with a group of wolves. Another guy was covering for me and he missed all the signs. Penelope and three of her co-workers went missing after their show that night. They thought they were getting into the town
