“Pretty much.”I reply.“The party is only for the upper echelon of society.From what we understand there are high political offices in attendance as well as businessmen, doctors, judges, even some top-level cops.”

Galina’s face looks thoughtful, but she can’t hide her irritation at the mention of people in the justice department and politicians being involved in this shit.

“You saying there are dirty cops and shit buying up young woman and using them til their dead?”She snaps.“Those are hefty allegations counselor.”

“We’re not accusing anyone specifically.We are merely reiterating the information given to us by our sources.”Ally is quick on her feet.

“And how didyouget in?Who do they think you are?”Galina looks at me the way Parisi did when he told me the grungy biker look wouldn’t pass.Bitch.She’s not exactly the prettiest flower in the room herself, but I keep that thought to myself.

“They think I’m a tech genius with a new personal tracking system that could revolutionize their business.It seems legit and could potentially solve their missing shipment issues.”I shrug.“It’s simple.They have a problem they think I have their solution.”

“All right.When does this all happen?”

“Two weeks from tonight.You and Hawk will go to Dallas, dress the part and attend the gala.”Gabe reiterates the plan.

“And if we don’t get to round two?”Galina asks.

“If you don’t get to round two you won’t get to Cusenza.Our sources say he’s usually not present until the second round.”It’s all bullshit I’m spewing now, but I don’t fucking care.We are so close to getting this her to agree to this bullshit.I’ll say damn near anything.Parisi needs us to help him find the mole and I need Parisi to find my woman.

“All right.You have a deal.”

After the three agents leave, Allyson hangs around for a few minutes explaining to Gabe the ins and outs of this deal and how Agent Galina can potentially screw us if shit goes south.

I’m on my laptop pulling up any information I can find on Agent Galina to use to my advantage if she decides to pull rank and mess this whole thing up.As I’m scrolling through information my phone chimes, then Gabe’s.Then Declan.One by one everyone’s phones go off.I pull mine out and see a text from me to a group.The group being all of my club brothers.

“What the hell?”

I open the text thread and find a naked picture of a blonde I fucked months ago all marked up with marker giving her a mustache and a penis on her cheek and the words “fuck off” in bold red color.I have no clue what she’s trying to tell me.If she’s jealous because she obviously went through my messages and didn’t approve, or if this is her trying to embarrass me in front of the guys, but I smile to myself even as I hear all my brothers laughing in the background.

“What the fuck is this all about, Hawk?”Gabe asks chuckling.

“It means Sadie has been going through my phone.”

“How?”Gabe asks confused.

“If I had to guess, she has a clone, which may actually work to our advantage.”I smile, thinking about all the ways I could mess with her now.Getting her hackles up and making her fight with me while I work on tracking her ass down.“As long as she keeps contact, I’ll be able to figure out a way to find her.”

And when I do that ass is mine.

SADIE

It’s been two weeks since Matteo took me to visit the Mansion.Two weeks since Hawk sent me that bullshit email laying down rules and threatening the condition of my ass if I don’t bring said ass home immediately.

Arrogant fuckhead.

He told me how he was going to tie me down and blindfold me, taking away all my senses as he did whatever deliciously wicked things he wanted to my body until I give myself completely over to his control.

Double fuckhead!

He told me to leave.Said he couldn’t trust me.I’m a selfish, reckless,child.And nowall of the sudden, when I give him exactly what he wants by leaving, he wants me to come home and fall back into his bed like I’m some club girl pining for his attention.

Fuck that!And fuck him!

No.There can be no fucking at all when it comes to Hawk.Not now that I know he can’t give me what I need.

After spending a week at the Mansion observing and being exposed to so many things I never thought I would be interested in, I discovered things about myself.It’s probably why Hawk’s words hit differently.
