David lifts a brow at me. “I don’t get a sir?”
Before I can think better of it, I say, “No, you’re not my master.”
David looks to Danil, probably expecting him to beat the shit out of me for my attitude, but all Danil does is give a deep, genuine laugh before fisting my hair and turning me towards him for a kiss. It’s not a long kiss, but it’s hard and it’s proving a point. I’m his, and I belong only to him. When he pulls back, he’s rock hard beneath my ass and it takes me a second to remember we’re still in a very crowded room.
David looks less than pleased, but he doesn’t ask me to call him sir again.
“Maybe he just ran off,” Lev says, bringing us all back to Stefan’s disappearance.
“He would never do that,” Aaron says. “He knows what would happen to him if he did.”
“We can have some of our men look into it if you want,” Roman offers.
David thinks for a second before saying, “It sounds like they want to handle this on their own.”
“Well, the offer stands if they change their mind,” Roman says, and I can tell he wants to keep pushing, but he backs off and then lets out a soft laugh when he looks at someone behind me and Danil. “I see my father-in-law has decided to join us.”
Four older men in suits come walking over, and I instantly dislike them. They’re all wearing the same pervy grins and looking around like they can’t wait to sample each and every woman here.
“Roman,” the man in front says, reaching over to shake his hand. “Good to see you. How’s my daughter doing?”
“She’s good, Chris,” he says but doesn’t elaborate. “I’m glad you all could make it.”
The mayor looks down at me, and it’s hard to believe that the sweet woman I’ve been living with came from this bastard. His eyes run over me, and even though I’m in a more modest dress, he makes me feel naked and exposed, and I hate it. Danil’s lips brush my shoulder while he tightens his grip on me.
“I see you’re just as possessive of your pet as your brother is with his.” He turns back to Roman. “Where is your little plaything tonight?”
“Not here. She needed the night off,” he says with a soft laugh.
Danil brings his lips back to my ear while the four men sit down and join us. “The three men with him are congressmen,” he whispers. “Roman’s looking forward to killing his father-in-law.”
I turn my head, and he gives me a faint smile before kissing my shoulder again.
“Was she worth the price tag?” Chris asks after ordering a drink from the waitress who quickly comes over to take care of them.
“Every damn penny,” Danil says.
“What do you say, sweetheart? Do you like your new owner?”
I ignore his stupid-ass questions and tuck my head in close to Danil. Chris laughs when he doesn’t get an answer.
“She’s been taught to only obey your voice, I see.”
“She knows who she belongs to,” Danil says while the waitress hands out the drinks she’s brought.
“Sweetheart,” Chris calls out when she starts to walk away. “My friends here would like to spend some time in the back rooms. Can you get them set up with some women of their choice?”
The waitress smiles and says in a very thick accent, “Women, yes?”
Chris laughs. “Do they speak English here?”
“They understand enough,” Roman says. “Just a few essential phrases.”
Lev laughs. “They know lap dance, blowjob, fucking, and you owe me money.”
The men all have a good laugh while the waitress leads the three men away. I’m sure they all made sure to pop a viagra before coming here tonight.
“I was hoping to get to Tom’s party the other night, but something came up,” Chris says.
