Kaoru touched his chest. “Me?”
“Yes. You.” I nodded. “Can you walk her to her villa or get some men to—”
“I actually am supposed to be at your side the whole time. Dragon’s orders.”
I turned around to tell Yoichi to take Deja and that motherfucker had disappeared. I didn’t even hear the door open or close. “Where the hell did Yoichi go?”
Kaoru chuckled.
I looked at him.
He went silent and shrugged.
Rin crossed his arms over his chest.
I frowned at him.
What exactly is your endgame here, sir? You are not getting a bag over Deja’s face. She would put a bag over your face first.
Right as I was about to speak, Deja did.
“Don’t worry, Nyomi. I’ve got it. I’m going to walk this little doggy.” She pointed at Rin. “He’s been inside all day and needs some fresh air.”
I blinked.
Kaoru widened his eyes.
Rin maintained that bored expression.
Deja shrugged. “He wants a spot in my stable. It wouldn’t be right if I didn’t let him audition.”
Rin leaned his head to the side.
“That’s alright. I’m his first bad bitch. He’ll figure it out.” She walked off.
Rin lowered his gaze to her ass. That bored expression completely cracked. In its place was the look of a predator who had caught the scent of prey and had already decided how he was going to devour it.
Then, he stalked off.
I tensed.
The door closed behind them.
I looked back at Kaoru. “He better not try anything with Deja.”
Kaoru shrugged. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Yoichi laughed from the side.
I stiffened. “When did you get back?”
"Back from where?"
"You left. You were gone. I turned around and you weren't—"
"I've been here the whole time." Yoichi gave me the most rehearsed innocent expression I’ve ever seen on a grown man.
“Wasn’t he gone?” I looked at Kaoru.
