Grace POVAs soon as Dash’s car stops in front of my parent’s house, my hands start to shake and I am thinking about postponing this. I am not so sure right now. It’s like the drive took away all the courage I had gathered during the day. “It’s going to be okay,” Dash reassures me, but I honestly don’t think it will be. He is more positive than I am. Well, I have always been a very negative person. I have always seen the world through dark lenses. Nothing is as easy as it seems, and the universe decided to prove me right.I take a deep breath before I open the car door and step outside. I look at the townhouse and everything in me is telling me to run. To run for my life because nothing good will come out of this conversation. Walking up the steps and pressing the bell, I feel Dash right behind me. His hand pressed lightly against my lower back, encouraging me. “Don’t leave me alone with them,” I whisper without looking at him. Dash has been an amazing person who entered my life and
Dash POV“I swear I am going to fucking kill you,” I bark at Jagger on the phone while he laughs on the other side. My brother can be the toughest guy around, but when he laughs, he really does. He barely even cracks a smile since tragedy entered his life, but hearing him laugh brings a smile to my face even when he is trying to annoy the shit out of me.“Okay, I’ll stop, but listen to me, this is going to get messy, and Wyatt is not going to like it,” Jagger warns me. I know Wyatt is going to be so fucking fuming he will try to kill me, but it’s a risk I am willing to take.“You think I don’t know that?” I ask. Jagger is our enforcer, he takes care of people when we request it from him. It’s kind of ironic because during the day he is the good guy, trying to keep people out of prison, and at night he kills people not just for a living but for pleasure a
Dash POV“What do you got for me?” I ask as I enter Jagger’s office in the safe house. His eyes meet mine and he nods toward the chair. I sit down, feeling my blood boil. Jagger puts his pen down and spins on his chair facing me. “You’re not gonna like this,” he warns me, but I shrug and nod so he can tell me the information I need. “He doesn’t know anything. Whatever they have on Tara is new,” Jagger says and I stand up, kicking the desk, cursing under my breath. Jagger leans back in his chair, watching me. His eyes scan my every movement as if he is analyzing a fucking witness. “Are you sure?” I ask, and his eyebrows pinch in confusion. Of course, he is fucking sure. The guy has been rotting in our cells and he would talk immediately. He is a fucking kid. He doesn’t have the stomach for this life. Not yet anyway. “Are you doubting my abilities now?” Jagger questions me. I shake my head as I shove my hands into my pockets. The need to break something increasing inside my veins. Ja
Grace POV“I am not having this conversation with you anymore,” I say, turning around and entering the bathroom. I close the door, locking it and rushing to turn the shower on so it will muff Dash’s voice. Immediately, I put loud music on and block his words. Even his voice is starting to annoy me. How can he say things like that about dogs?Who the fuck doesn’t like dogs? They are a person’s best friend; they are loyal and if you want to know the meaning of true love, all you have to do is care for them. If you give them two seconds of your attention, they will love you forever. They are attention whores. I shake my head, trying to tame my anger while I strip my clothes off. Going to the damn party tonight is not happening now. Dash can find someone else to go with. I am not going to put on a fake smile and pretend to be having the time of my life when I don’t even want to look at him. The hot water does barely anything to push away my feelings about this subject. Am I being too mu
Grace POVThe door opens on Dash’s side of the car and he steps out and immediately; I hear several people shouting his name. Dash offers me his hand and I take it, stepping out of the car. The flash from the cameras makes the night look like day, and I narrow my eyes, trying to protect them. Dash’s hand stays in mine and he gently squeezes as he looks at me, smiling, before he positions us on the red carpet to pose for the photos. “Smile,” he whispers, and I do as he says. Several minutes later, we walk up to the door where the bouncer opens a red door and we step inside. “Mask,” I hear someone say behind us and I look over my shoulder to see a woman wearing a beautiful latex red dress handing me a white mask that matches my dress and a red one matching Dash’s suit and shirt. I have never seen him look so sexy as he is today. His 3 pieces black suit with his blood-red shirt hugs every muscle on his body, making him look even more desirable than he already is. I can see all eyes on
Grace POVFollowing Amber to the bathroom seemed like a good idea at the time but now that I am standing in front of her with my arms crossed waiting for her to tell me what the hell is going on doesn’t seem like the better idea I have ever had.“I am okay Grace. Stop trying to get me to say I am not,” she says as she looks at the mirror, reapplying the red lipstick she is using. I shake my head, taking one step closer to my best friend.“I don’t know why you think you can lie to my face and get away with it, I know something is wrong, and I can tell there is something with me because you can’t even look at me Amber,” I let out and she shakes her head pushing away from the sink and grabbing one of the paper towels to clean her hands.“You need to wake up and realize that the world doesn’t revolve around you Grace, just because your life sucks
Dash POV“Maggie, can you please make sure no one enters the private area without being invited?” I ask, and she nods her head. The private area is a secret I only allowed some of the guests to know existed and I had two girls that entered without permission. Good thing they had to sign the fucking NDAs before coming because otherwise I would’ve been fucked.“I don’t know how that happened,” she says, shaking her head and I honestly don’t give a flying fuck how it happened. I just know it can’t happen again.“Just do your fucking job and make sure it won’t happen again,” I let out in annoyance. Maggie is new to working with me, but I know her reputation, so I expected more from here. She’s worked in several casinos and clubs with exclusive clientele to the point she calls them by their names, not their titles anymore.“
Grace POV“This is where all your fantasies can become reality,” Dash tells me, and I frown. Dash walks to the wall near where we entered and presses a button. The light inside the room turns red, and he walks back to me. The butterflies in my stomach start flying as he places both his hands on my waist. “This is the fun side of the club, even more exclusive than the rest of the club. Not even my brother is allowed here, not today anyway,” Dash tells me and I nod slightly. My hands are starting to sweat and Dash brings them to his lips as he places small kisses on the palms of each of my hands. “I want everyone here to see you the same way I do, to see how beautifully perfect you are, I saw how turned on you were against the window, with the idea of people watching you get fucked,” Dash tells me and he is right. As soon as his words left his mouth, the small device inside my pussy starts to vibrate and I let out a small squeal as I close my legs pressing my thighs together. “Do you
