Chapter 28
Mason
I’ve been home for about twenty minutes when the burner phone begins to ring, and I wince. After Raul and I got into our fight, I didn’t think he would be fucking calling me again. I’m just a cook. I’m not some wannabe gangster who’s going to come out guns blazing or some shit.
I contemplate letting the phone go to voicemail. If I let it go to voicemail, what will that mean for my job and whatever it is I have going on with Lucian? Would he tell her I’ve been doing the runs this whole time? What happens when I’m no longer needed? Are they going to kill me off or some shit?
What are they doing?
Out of panic, I answer the phone on the last ring. “Hello?”
“You weren’t going to answer the fucking phone, were you?” Raul’s pissed off voice grumbles on the other end of the line.
“No, I wasn’t.”
“We need you at the address I’m going to text you as soon as possible. You need to enter from the back door. Come alone. Get there now.”
He hangs up before I can ask any more questions.
What the fuck is that about?
I groan, shoving my feet back into my shoes and wait for the text message to pop up on the phone. Once it does, I grab the keys to Andrew’s car and take off. Whatever it is that’s going on, must be serious. I know that Raul hates me and he’s going to want to try and make me look as bad as possible.
I speed the whole way to the address on the text message. I look at the address and then at the hotel again.
This is where I need to be?
The hotel looks run down, a piece of shit.
ME: Where am I supposed to go?
UNKNOWN: First floor bathroom.
ME: Man or Woman?
UNKNOWN: Woman.
Getting out of the car, I stroll through the front lobby until I see the bathrooms off to side. There’s a big man who’s waiting outside of the man’s room.
He’s glaring at me and then glaring at the door my hand is hovering over. I knock on the door to let whomever know I’m standing outside and wait for whatever is about to happen.
The door pops open and I about swallow my tongue.
Are you fucking kidding me?
It’s Lucian.
My eyes widen as I stare at her and she looks at me with wide eyes and redden cheeks.
“Get in here!” She demands as she grabs my hand.
This is one of the first times she has touched me openly.
There’s a shock and awe feeling that jolts through my body. I wish I could just grab her and kiss her. I want to kiss her so fucking bad and then I want to fuck her.
I want to know what it feels like to have this woman completely under me.
“What is going on here?” I demand as I’m dragged into the room. There’s a woman in the corner who looks severely hurt. I point at her and look at Lucian. “Who’s this?”
