“Mikey O’ is outside this office, and he’s waiting for me to tell him if you’re in here. He figured out that you’re a part of the sex ring, and he’s hired me to come betray you.”

He lifted a brow.

“And you’re giving me a heads-up?”

She nodded.

“I’m loyal, Cruz.”

Well, well, well.

This could have gone badly had he not had women on his payroll.

“Where is he?” Cruz asked.

She moved toward the window and pointed. Thankfully, there was a tint so no one could see in.

He stood beside her, and saw the vehicle. Lo and behold, he saw some of the man’s auburn red hair.

Son.

Of.

A.

Bitch.

Someone had come right to him. It appeared that he was about to get a bonus from Chevy when he brought him this man.

Bet on it.

“How many are we talking?” he asked.

She told him everything he needed to know, in hopes he’d set her free, and she could bail. The last thing she wanted was this SOB selling her to some Arabian prince with some kinks.

“They told me the plan. There are four.”

He grinned.

“And Mikey O’ is in the car waiting for me?”

She nodded.

“Yes, they were at the meeting. It’s a big Indian dude, a smaller one that’s half breed, or maybe two. There are four in all, and they said something about Chevy. I don’t know who that is, but they want him, and you dead.”

That was all he had to hear.

It was move now, or die.

Pulling her into his body, he gave her a kiss.

“Merla, you just earned yourself a year off of your sexual indenture. Consider yourself free.”

And there it was.

Only, she knew what she needed.

“Give me the contract.”
