Annie turned me around and pushed me into the armchair. The plastic cover creaked with my weight, and I shifted in an effort to get somewhat comfortable. Being alone with Annie wasn’t what I wanted, but it was better than sitting there andtalking about all the ways I could fuck her if I wanted to. Besides, it would get Gunnar off my back.
She took a seat on my knee again, trying to snuggle closer. I kept her at arm’s length.
“You been using, sugar?”
She grinned, running the back of her hand under her nose, sniffing delicately. “Did I leave some behind?”
“No. How often do you score?”
She sniffed again, giving me a self-conscious smile. “Kaash leaves me a bag on my makeup station every night.”
He did fucking what?
“What about the other girls? They get the same treatment?”
“When they hang around long enough.”
“What do you mean?”
She played with the hair at my nape. “A lot of girls don’t stay employed for very long.”
Removing her hand, I held it in her lap and asked, “How long is not very long?”
“Maybe a month. Sometimes two, but never more than three.”
“How long have you been here?”
“Six months,” she replied with a note of pride in her voice.
“And these other girls… do you know why they leave?”
“No.” She scrunched up her nose in thought. “The only thing I do know is that they’re blonde. They leave with Kaash and never come back. The last one didn’t even make it two weeks before she disappeared, but she was young. She said she was eighteen, but I think she was younger. She cried every night.”
What the hell was Kaash up to?
She cupped her breasts suddenly, pushing them together in my face. “You want to fuck now?”
“No, sugar,” I replied, pushing her off my knee and making my way to the door.
Back at the table, everyone looked up at me as I approached.
Gunnar grinned at me. “Styx is a little freak, isn’t she? Did you like her?”
Styx?He must’ve meant Annie.“She was great,” I replied, my words devoid of any emotion. My eyes were fixed on Kaash. “A word?” I asked.
Kaash looked at Gunnar, then back at me. “Whatever you have to say, you can say in front of your brothers, too.”
I ground my teeth. He wanted to force my hand? Then I would. “Why the fuck are you providing coke to the girls here?”
Kaash grinned, laughing off my accusatory tone. “They work harder when they know there’s powder in it for them. They’re a little looser, too. Some, like Styx, don’t even fucking care what kink the guy is into. All they care about is snorting coke and getting tips.”
“And this is something Rixon has approved?”
Kaash’s smile vanished as he rose to his feet and took a step toward me. “Rixon has nothing to do with this club. He gave it to me. This is my business. These aremywhores.”
His arms snapped out and grabbed one of the girls passing by the table. Pulling her into his side, he reached behind him and brought out his gun. The girl’s eyes widened, but his gaze never left mine.
“If I want to fuck her pussy with my gun, I’ll fucking do it.”
