a kiss to my nose. It’s sweet, and it has my heart pitter-pattering in response. “Now, make the call to your daddy, and let’s get this deal underway.”

My cock is still aching from having Alice rub all over it yesterday during our little impromptu visit. She’d gotten me so fucking worked up, I thought the stiff bastard was never going down again. I’d cut our chat short, knowing that if I didn’t, I’d end up taking her to my spot and fuck her raw. I wasn’t about to let my cock jeopardize a payday for the club, and Lord knows it would’ve had she remained on my lap for much longer. The things I sacrifice for this club. I swear, my brothers better be fucking grateful.
“What’s the deal, brother?” Whiskey grumbles as I lean back into my spiffy new office chair. With as much time as I spend in this damn room, I had the prospect run to Sam’s club and get me this fancy padded shit. Now my ass is so comfortable here, I could take a nap.
“Alice texted me.” I shrug it off like it doesn’t mean anything, although it’s driving me a bit crazy, to be honest.
“Why’s this have you fucked in the head?”
I shoot a scowl at the old bastard. “You’re fucked in the head.”
He snorts, ignoring me.
Eventually, I continue with, “Her father doesn’t want her returning to the club. He’s gonna fly down to do the exchange for Maddy. Blow’s gonna take her to the swap since she’ll go with him and not ask any questions. I don’t like it that this motherfucker thinks he can call the shots while he’s up north doin’ fuck all. A real man would contact me and hash this shit out. Clearly, this fucker didn’t get that memo.”
“And this has you questioning things, why? Who gives a fuck, minus we get paid.”
I shrug, stubbornly admitting, “I was expecting Alice to be around until that all went down. She said now her security is tighter than usual, stuck up her ass and all. Her father’s afraid she’ll mess up the deal somehow before it has a chance to happen. He needs to get it through his thick skull that Alice is the only reason this shit is happening in the first place. Bougie motherfucker thinks I’m bowing cause he’s a politician. Those ass sniffers can blow each other, as far as I’m concerned.”
“He’s a real piece of work.”
I nod. “And she doesn’t see it. He’s got his family blinded, all in the disguise of protection. The fucker’s a crook. Takes one to know one, ya know?”
“Hm, those types usually are. Can’t say I’m all that surprised. Still don’t understand what’s eating you though. We’re getting paid and didn’t have to do shit. It sounds like a win to me. Is this the only thing weighing on you?”
“Oh, no doubt.”
“You wanted to fuck her, and it actually didn’t happen,” he comments after a beat, bursting into a belly laugh. The dick is one of the only bastards who can get a read on me.
“Fuck off, you old bastard,” I gripe while he continues to chuckle at my expense.
“So, let me get this straight. You’re intrigued by this senator’s daughter, and they’ve caged her up like a little birdy. Since when have you ever let someone stand in the way of what you want? She can’t come to you…but there’s not a fuckin’ thing stoppin’ your stubborn ass from going to her.”
After a beat, his words sink in, and I crack a grin. “You smart, wrinkly, bastard.”
He shoots me the bird, and I pull Alice’s name up on my phone.
How bored are you? I ask her.
This sounds like a loaded question. She responds and I find myself smiling like a jackass.
I could visit. I throw the suggestion out, hoping she’ll send an invitation.
My security wouldn’t let you in the door.
A snort of disbelief escapes. She has no idea of what I’m capable of. They couldn’t stop me no matter how hard they tried.
I don’t want them to end up hurt. Despite the tense meetings we’ve had, they’re good guys.
“I hope she’s sending you titty pics with the size of the smile you’ve got on,” Whiskey complains, but I ignore him. He’s just bent out of shape ‘cause he hasn’t gotten laid in a while.
I remain focused on Alice. I can make it so they never know I’m there.
How? She immediately
