“Something Irish, I think.”
“Find out, and let me know.”
“Will I see you tonight, Desi?” she asked him, and his dick didn’t even get hard at the prospect.
“No.”
“I’ll text you the name,” Karen said, and then he heard the click as she disconnected the call.
Did she not get my intentions by leaving her the lingerie? I threatened that stinking, nosey boss of hers. I think Chastity needs a reminder about straying. She may need some time to think things through, but perhaps a little reminder that I’m in charge and she belongs to me will get her coming back sooner rather than later.
Chapter 8
“So what do you think?” Cash asked Zane as they stood in the room at The Phantom, waiting for the others to arrive. Zane was looking at his cell phone, rereading the text from the detectives.
“It seems like this guy doesn’t do much of anything. He flew out to Miami. But nothing stands out. I don’t know if I should have him followed there or what? It’s like I have this feeling that there is more to this asshole than just him wanting Chastity back.”
“I don’t like it. We should pull in some favors, and get an ID on this dude’s past. I’m worried for her,” Cash said.
“Worried about who?” Jett asked as he and Flynn entered the room. They started to take their places around the large poker table.
“Chastity.”
Jett and Flynn immediately looked up toward Cash and Zane.
“What’s going on? What did you find out?” Flynn asked.
“Well, nothing, really. The detectives say the guy doesn’t have a record. As a matter of fact, he’s an upstanding citizen,” Cash replied.
“Well, maybe he’s obsessed with her, and it’s sent him over the edge?” Jett suggested. Cash thought about that a moment as Nash and Riker entered the room. Everyone greeted them. Behind them, Hudson and Jagger entered.
“Where are Emerson and Stone?” Flynn asked.
“They got a little sidetracked by the bar. Two blondes, you know,” Hudson said and they laughed.
“Who’s obsessed and over the edge?” Riker asked.

Riker heard Jett’s statement, and something in his gut clenched. Then they got silent as Riker and Nash entered the room.
“Well? What’s going on?” Nash asked.
“We were just talking about a case,” Cash stated.
Riker looked at Nash as he took his seat and placed his glass of bourbon down on the green velvet.
“Are you talking about Chastity?” Nash asked.
Riker didn’t like how Zane looked at Cash and then Cash took a deep breath and released it.
“She got the order of protection the other day, and that asshole was served the papers,” Zane told them. Riker felt on edge.
“Who was with her?” he asked.
Emerson and Stone walked into the room, smiling and laughing.
“Getting lucky tonight?” Jagger asked them.
