Ash practically pulled me into the apartment. She’d been in a hurry all the way home from Miami. “Can we please check your lamp?”
“Why?” I asked.
“Because weneedto check it. Where do you keep it?” She looked around like she thought I kept my most valuable possession in the foyer. “My name is definitely going to be on it. Do you feel different? I think you should be feeling differently by now.”
She’s really putting on a good show.So good that I was starting to wonder if she’d actually had sex with someone. I snapped my fingers and my lamp appeared in my hand. But COOPER was nowhere on it. Because of course it wasn’t.
She sighed. “I can’t believe it. I tried so hard.”
Hard, huh?I raised my eyebrow. I’d love nothing more than for Ash to be fucking everyone she met. But it didn’t seem to be happening.
It was a good thing that my backup plan was moving along perfectly. My Johan disguise had worked exactly how I’d wanted. After the game, I’d noticed a DODO agent following me. So I’d led them straight to the Miami Society where my trap was waiting.
It had been pretty easy to set up. A new recruit had wished to have sex with a famous footballer. So I’d gotten a member who looks kinda like me to dress like my new football player persona. Once I lured the DODO agent into the Society, I just had to slip away and let him stumble upon my lookalike. Before he could get close enough to realize it wasn’t me, I sent a bunch of models to take his clothes off. And while the DODO agent was getting smothered in tits, I found the zapper in his discarded pants.
Then I rounded up some girls to take to my new friends’ pool party. The whole thing had been ridiculously easy.
Ash sighed again.
I wish I could tell her all about my brilliant plan, but I didn’t want to risk saying any of it aloud, just in case Ghazi was listening.
“I’m exhausted,” she said and yawned. “Tons of sex will do that to a girl.”
I laughed.
“I’m being serious. I’ve been trying so hard to get you free.”
“I know, baby.” I lifted her into my arms even though I didn’t believe one word out of her mouth. “Let’s get some sleep.” I set her down on my bed.
Ash yawned and closed her eyes. She fell asleep almost immediately. But I kept tossing and turning. I was too excited about my plan. My freedom was so close, I could almost taste it. And it was time to execute the next phase.
I made my way into my closet and started packing.
Nigel appeared beside me. “Where are we going, Master?”
I wanted to tell him about the plan too. But it was too risky. “India.”
“Good idea. We need to do more research about arranged marriages. Maybe we can find a loving husband for Ash and then we can get free.”
Hell no.I would never let Ash marry someone else. “No. We’re not doing any more research.”
“Good. I’m still exhausted from the early 2000s. Running all over Kolkata carrying a rickshaw was hard work. But why are we going?”
“The Cricket World Cup.”
“REALLY!? YES! Boys’ trip! Can we invite Master Matthew?”
I shrugged. “Sure. But he’s probably busy. He has to work on Mondays.”Poor millionaire chap.
“I’ll convince him. YES! Lads on tour! Lads on tour! Lads on tour!” chanted Nigel. “I’ll go invite Master Matthew right now.”
I’m sure Brooklyn will love Nigel popping up in their bedroom in the middle of the night...
Ash walked into my closet in one of my dress shirts.
My eyes ran down her legs.
“Invite Master Matthew where?” She shook her head. “I mean Matt.”
