When Tatiana enters the office, I sigh in relief and toss my pen down on the desk. I need some company to keep me awake.
“Hey babe,” I greet her.
“Hey Storm,” she sighs, sitting in one of the chairs in front of the desk.
Oh?
“What’s up?”
She fiddles with the corner of her sweater. Whatever it is, she’s deep in thought. I hate seeing her this way. The tension between her and Shadow is fierce; even though they’re friends, it’s definitely so thick you can cut that shit with a knife.
“Am I too young for Shadow?”
“What? He’s barely over three years older than you, Tatiana. He’s my age. Where is this coming from? You’re not a child.”
She leans back with a frown. “But if you count his sexual experiences and what he’s into, I’m young. I don’t know shit.”
“Tatiana… what do you mean by what he’s into?”
Now I’m worried.
“I’ve checked it out, you know. I’ve even tried it a few times.” She mumbles.
What in the hell is she talking about?
“Dammit, Tatiana!”
She sighs, giving in. “Getting pain. I’ve tried it during sex. I met this guy at this club Shadow’s always at. I followed him once. I went in… and well I left with a guy. I kept meeting up with him a few times for a few weeks, but then all of this shit happened, and you know.” She shrugs.
“No, I don’t know.”
“It’s not like he’s a Dom or anything. Everyone at the clubs says that he just likes giving out pain during sex. He doesn’t take on slaves or whatever; he just likes to dish out pain.”
What the f**k!
“He’s a sadist you mean?”
No wonder ZZ doesn’t want them getting together; it all makes sense now.
“Yeah, if that means he likes dishing out pain.”
Fuckin clueless!
“Tatiana,” I sigh. “If you haven’t heard shit from Shadow’s mouth, don’t take what others say seriously.”
“Not you too! It’s not that bad; it’s actually sexy and hot.”
Oh good lord!
“Promise me that you’ll look more information up about that lifestyle before you go digging any deeper and trying shit. And talk to Shadow, please Tatiana,” I beg her.
“Fine. I will. Chill Storm,” she laughs.
Honestly, I find nothing about this information funny. Nothing against Shadow’s lifestyle if that’s what he’s in fact into, but Tatiana doesn’t have a damn clue about this shit.
“Well anyways… you ready? Everything is done out there. Club is cleaned up, and the employees are leaving.”
Thank god! I’m flippin tired.
“Yeah, let’s go.”
I follow her, scared shitless at the thought of her doing something stupid just to gain attention from Shadow.

Chapter 16
Braxxon
Angel’s legs are sprawled across mine as a laptop bounces up and down while she clicks through the webpages. We’re sitting in the old clubhouse on the couch looking for land to build us a home. She’s so f**kin hot when she talks about prime land purchases. She’s so damn knowledgeable. It makes my dick hard thinking about how she really is deadly determined to take over Jamaica, Nevada. She’s talking about kicking out the local Chinese gang, who just so happens to own a number of restaurants and nail salons in our town. She’s gone so far as to already draft up plans for a new spa. I told her the Chinese just live here, like a home base. Their business is in Las Vegas, but somehow, Angel still wasn’t happy about that. When I said I don’t know about makin enemies that don’t need makin, she replied with, “This is our town. They want to live here peacefully, then they’ll pay up.” On that note, I shut the f**k up. What can I say? I’m a dude, and I love money and power.
“Jesus baby, how much land you lookin to buy?”
“All of it,” she says simply as she picks her notebook off of the couch and starts writing down more information.
“We can’t afford to buy it all at once, Angel. You may have a lot of money and the club may have a lot of money, but it goes fast, believe me.”
“We have a lot of money,” she corrects.
“What?”
“You said you have a lot of money, and I said we have a lot of money.”
“My f**kin point is that it will go fast.”
“Silly man… you think I haven’ been investing?”
“Uhh…,” I say because technically, I don’t know.
“You forget all of our money is legal. The club’s may not be, but ours is. I’ve got things in play. Oh, and check this out.”
She starts pulling up certain things on her computer, smiling and biting her lip. I lean in as she points to what looks to be a map. “See, all that outlined in yellow is already ours. We built on the surrounding lots for the new lockdown building. This over here is all the property that your club already owns.”
She’s f**kin amazing. Another reason my Angel is perfect for me.
“What’s the blue line?” I point out.
“You don’t recognize the path of the blue line on the club land?”
I look back at it. Trying to study it, figure it out, when it suddenly dawns on me. She’s f**kin brilliant!
“It’s our underground tunnel here on the compound. So you’re tellin me you wanna burrow it to connect with our land that we buy?” I ask in disbelief.
“Hey babe,” I greet her.
“Hey Storm,” she sighs, sitting in one of the chairs in front of the desk.
Oh?
“What’s up?”
