***ZANE'S POV***I am exhausted when it comes to London. The woman makes a lot of thoughts go through my mind. As she stands in front of me, I watch her soft eyes watching me. At first, she has this fear in her eyes and when she speaks I have the urge to take a step back. "Will you strike me, Zane?" she asks her tongue tipping out and touching her lips with it. "I will never hit you, London. Never. But it wouldn't stop the fact that you wouldn't get punished," I state, making sure that she hears. London nods her head. I was frightened when I heard her shouting her lungs out that there was a snake in the shrubs, I don't ever want to lose her, but if she thinks she will slide punishment, then, she has a whole lot waiting for her. "I asked you to open the door when you hid yourself and you refused. I counted to ten and you didn't budge. Rather, you helped your boyfriend escape," I call out. "Michael is not my boyfriend, Zane," she states. "What is he to you then? I watc
***LONDON'S POV***I don't have time to catch my breath because Zane rolls me off the bed and into the bathroom. He places me on the sink while he cleans himself. Taking a damp towel, he cleans me off. When we return to his room, he puts his t-shirt over my head, It is an oversized one and I don't mind the least. As he puts on his boxer briefs on me, he slams my ass a little. I am ashamed to say it but anal sex with Zane hits differently. The man is built differently, in fact, everything about him is just structured in a whole new way. "Go downstairs and apologize to Sinner, now," he orders. I've got instant tears rolling down my cheeks as I feel uneasy about it. When I stay, Zane swirls his head at me, looking as if it would break me. "London?" he calls out fiercely."I don't want to," I choke out on my words. There is no reason why I shouldn't be polite to Sinner, they are set to respect me, and I even feel guilty. "Don't be a brat, go now, I have to answer this cal
***ZANE'S POV***I have to admit that London's sandwiches are one of the best that I have ever eaten. As I grab my second one from the plate, I catch contact with her eyes and I wink at her. Her cheeks brighten as she blush profusely. I love seeing those pink shades on her, it makes me feel alive. "What happened to the fucker?" I ask, turning my head to look at Reaper. He blows air from his mouth before replying, "The bastard ran away through an underground wall. The bakery is on shut down and everyone has evacuated the shop," he explains. I feel London tense up. Although she had made two sandwiches each for the men, she hadn't eaten any. She was so selfless and it came naturally to her. I ignore her as I fire my next question. "Want to talk about why you went there, London?" I ask gently. "Michael is my friend. He offered me a job at his place, I had accepted it and I would be working there. I don't know if my job still sticks because you have fucking destroyed i
***LONDON'S POV***It has been one week since the incident at the bakery. Since I passed out in Zane's kitchen after he punished me. We haven't said anything too personal to one another. He hasn't touched me, looked at me, or done anything to make me doubt that we are on talking terms. I have met Micah and he seems to keep drowning in debt. Also, Zane doesn't trust me enough to let me go. Manipulating my cell phone is harder than I thought. Skipping to the room upstairs every now and then is a big challenge because I risk getting caught. Zane walks into the room as I am putting my hair in a ponytail. I am already dressed. "Going somewhere, little girl?" he asks warmly. "Yes. To have a run. I need my legs stretched out a little," I smile as I use my scrunchy to secure my hair at the back of my head. From the mirror, I could easily see Zane's mind working something out, that is crazy because this is actually the first time I am going out for a run and it is also the
***ZANE'S POV***I rode to the club anger puffing throw my ears, I had to kick myself to focus on the road, but as I walked into the club, my men knew what was up. Reaper joins me in my office. "Boss!" he calls out as I sit on the chair and he closes the door behind me. I pour half a glass of whiskey and down everything down in one gulp. "London is a liar. I confronted her, can you fucking believe she was going to run? Something she never does and when I tell her about the money, she tries dodging to the door. Bundles of money fall from her body," I explain. I pour another glass of whiskey but I swirl the amber liquid, watching it move from side to side, too fucking weak to drink it. "That's dangerous, isn't it? Tell me you didn't kill her, boss," Reaper said his eyes widening. "Hell no! She is alive. At least, that was how I left her at home, alive and untouched," I say. I wasn't going to count the few spankings she received on her round soft bottom. She deserves
***LONDON'S POV***The loud horns of a car jolted me as I blinked rapidly, trying to figure out where I was. It took a few seconds to find out because the fog in my head had cleared out enough for me to see the reason. New York, that's where the sign over the shed said. The bus had stopped at the bus station and everyone was scurrying out of it. I had slept throughout the journey and right now, I was hungry and still very tired. "Home!" I breathed out as I pushed out of the bus, I boarded a cab to a restaurant first.Ordering my food, I take it home. It wouldn't be a one-time meal, but that would do. I walked into my former apartment and the smell of musk hit my nostrils, I wrinkled them in an annoying fashion. The door wasn't broken at least, I am thankful, but it was locked. I missed my old house, I wonder if anyone had looked for me? The diner I worked for had probably found someone else to replace me. If I am going to stay in town, I will have to look for an
***ZANE'S POV***I can't believe it has been forty-eight hours since London left me. I don't know what to make out of her right now. I am so fucking disappointed, it makes me really crazy just thinking about it. My entire body freezes as I get a heavy thought pass through my mind. What if London is in trouble? I wonder. I have every one of my men on the streets looking out for her. I had stormed Micah's house and he had been surprised to see me shortly after he had been in my office. I had explained the problem to him, he gets me on every part on my last nerve as he started putting the fucking blame on me. Like for real. I hated having to remove my gun and point it on him but when I did, he stopped fusing and started finding a way to help me. At first, it was just a plain idea but when the mother fucker said he had a way of contacting London, I was struck to the bone. Micah had given London a phone, that was what he had been using to communicate with his s
***LONDON'S POV***Two Weeks Later. It has been two whole weeks since I started working at the club, and I have been serving drinks. It is better than mixing vodka and tequila behind the desk. Gianna had been good to me like a boss would to their employee and the rest of the staff as well. But about three days ago, strange glares from the men entering the club would make me feel really uncomfortable, and every time I clock out of the club, I will hurry home. It feels like I have eyes on me, I don't mean it that way, but I mean, Zane looks like someone who would set men to monitor me. I haven't heard from him as well, and my chest breaks into pieces because Zane hasn't looked for me. It is not like I expected him to be here. As I put on my jacket, I take the path down the road that leads to my apartment. I still felt those eyes hovering behind me. It made me feel truly uncomfortable.Taking the alley down the block lands me on a man who is really familiar.
