Chapter 17

Lucian

When he turns around and leaves, I walk the several feet to my office. Once I am sat at my desk, I focus on paperwork and getting things ready. Growing up on the streets makes me want to work faster and harder than others. I want to be the woman who is the stickler with her fucking business.

I can’t believe I asked Mason out on a date. Even though I told him it’s just dinner and he shouldn’t get his panties all up in a twist, it’s very much a date. My first date.

Ever.

What the fuck am I supposed to wear to this? Do I put on a leather outfit and make him fall in line?

For some reason, I want to know what it’s like to go out on a date with someone. Mason’s not like any guy I’ve ever trained before nor spent any time with. He’s absolutely nothing like fucking Raul.

Raul is hard and rough all the way through. Mason’s softer. More innocent. I like it.

I want to corrupt him. Turn him bad to be with me.

I hear my phone ring and answer it without checking to see who it is first. Only a few people have this number… people that I trusted more or less.

“We’ve got a lead on Katie,” Raul interrupts my thoughts about what to do with Mason.

I shake my head. “What do you mean? Where is she?” I bark.

I owe it to Katie to try and save her the same way she tried to save me. I owe it to all the other girls she’s tried and actually saved.

“We have an idea on where she’s at but it’s bad.”

“What the fuck do you mean?”

“You know how you’ve been moving blow from Chicago to Canada?”

My mouth drops. “Are you fucking kidding me? They’ve put her on the market?”

I know exactly what that means. This means Katie’s up for auction and I’m not prepared to go to the auction again. I fought long and hard to prove my worth with Big Heavy for them to not send me to the auction again.

“Where did they takeyou?” Raul asks with venom in his voice.

Thinking back to the sack over my head and hearing them talk about how much money they would make on aQueenpinis enough to make anyone sick. I never want to be in the same car with those fuckers again. I would rather be tortured than talked about like a commodity.

I growl at him. “Either you found out where Katie is, or you didn’t. Which one is it, Raul? I don’t have fucking time for this.”

“Look!” He shouts through the phone. “I did what I was asked to do. I got lead on Katie. You’re so caught up in your new sub that you forgot about everything else, didn’t you?”

“I don’t have to explain myself to you!” I yell back. “You forget, you work for me. I don’t work for you!”

“I’m sorry, Lucian,” he murmurs into the phone knowing what’s going to happen to him if he doesn’t fall into line.

“Not as sorry as you will be if you continue this!”

“I will find Katie. Don’t worry. I’m going to find her.”

I take a deep breath, using my free hand to rub my temple. “You better find her. I want you to focus on that more than anything. Do you got me?”

He groans. “What about the run I was supposed to do tomorrow?”

“Am I your Girl Scouts leader? I tell you to do something… you fucking do it.”

I hang up on him before he can say anything else to further piss me off. Ever since I brought Mason into my life, Raul’s been a bigger pain in my ass than usual. I think he’s jealous more than anything else.
