Finally, he rolled his eyes, bringing his glass to his lips and holding it there. “You don’t know how many times I’ve wanted to get out.”
“But they hold some level of corruption over your head.”
“Yep. I told you they were dangerous.”
“Well, I’m not in the mood to make deals with you, Greg. However, if you do what I just told you to do, I’ll help you and your family become reestablished. Not like witness protection. Something real. Something tangible. But if not, your family will be eliminated and I’ll leave you to explain why to your… Brotherhood. Oh, and one more thing. You’re going toprovide me with information on all acts of extortion, blackmail, and general corruption you’re aware of with the Brotherhood. Especially involving Zane Emmett.”
I thought for a minute he was going to cry. I whipped out the date and time of the meeting and stood, buttoning my jacket. He collected the card, still shaking.
But not before he noticed the weapon I had in a holster. “Don’t cry and cross me on this.”
“Zane Emmett? Be careful of the fuck. He’s wacko. Uncontrollable and he has something for Daniella that has driven him fucking nuts for years. Now that he found her, he won’t let her go.”
I chuckled. “He’ll have no choice.”
CHAPTER 25
Josette
“What if I told you I don’t like blindfolds?” I asked, although I knew it wouldn’t do any good. Sinclair was nothing if not a man who required control of all things.
I was beginning to find that endearing.
“Relax, my little wildcat. It’s a surprise.”
I grumbled under my breath as he laughed. He’d driven around for at least twenty minutes. I had a feeling he was attempting to disorient me. “I think we need some fresh air.”
“Don’t you dare try and roll down that window or I’ll pull over and take you over my knee.”
“Ha. Ha. That means if I lowered the window, I’d hear music. We’re in the French Quarter. Admit it. And don’t you lie to me.”
“I would never lie, especially to such a beautiful woman. However, touch the blindfold and the punishment stands.”
Sinclair was having way too much fun keeping me in the dark. I had to admit I was both excited and curious as to what he had up his sleeve. Since my confession, he’d all but doted on me and Indiana. The date was icing on the cake.
I settled into the seat, grousing for fun under my breath. “Are you sure Indiana is okay with Enzo? He was terrified of my pup before.”
“I assure you that my Capo is thrilled to have a chance to play Frisbee with your pup.”
“You’ll forgive me if I have my doubts.”
“He knows what I’d do if anything happens to Indy.”
“You can’t go around threatening everyone just to keep them in line.” He was slowing down. Suddenly, I was on the edge of my seat.
“It’s worked very well for me so far. Now, shush. No more business.”
“Why, yes, sir.” Around him, patience wasn’t a virtue I carried any longer. In the two days since exposing the truth about my ugly life, I’d enjoyed every moment of being with him. Especially the passion we’d shared.
He finally cut the engine and I realized I was eager. Everything was different, as if this was a new beginning. I knew all about the plan he’d already put into motion. I’d finally convinced him I could help. Plus, I wanted nothing more than to face Zane again. One last time.
“Sit tight,” he said and I could tell he’d opened his door.
When I touched the blindfold, suddenly his fingers were wrapped around mine.
“I can see I’m going to need to follow through with another round of discipline. Oh, and I like you calling me sir.”
“Never going to happen again.” The rush of electricity was incredible, tiny little pricks shifting all the way into my pussy.
