As much as I want to leave her here, I know I need him to see she’s mine now. I’ll be the one paying for her surgery. I’ll be the one to save her, but she’ll be paying me back by being mine.

“Are these…? Is this man dangerous?”

“All the men I know are dangerous, sweetheart,” I tell her with a grin. I turn and leave her in the bedroom. She’ll know what to wear. I can picture her already, draped in something elegant, yet dick-hardening.

When I reach my office, I open the email I received earlier and hit respond.

She’ll be there.

I hit send before I sit back and pull out one of my cigars. I wet it, inhaling the scent, before I snip the end and light it. Once the smoke swirls around me, I feel the calm hitting my veins.

This should never have been as difficult as it’s become. She wasn’t meant to make me feel shit. Javier was right; we need to finish this, but we do it without hurting Sofía. I’ve gone and opened myself up to her, and when I saw her blood on my fingers, I knew there was no going back.

My office door opens, and Javi saunters in with a grin painted on his face. “I told you,” he says, as he settles in the chair opposite my desk. He rests one ankle on the opposite knee and leans back. His blue eyes dance with amusement, and I’m tempted to wipe the smile off his face, but I refrain.

“You told me what?”

“You have a thing for the girl. Ella es tu veneno,” he whispers, she’s your poison, before he continues, “Rodrigo isn’t going to give her up easily.”

“He doesn’t have to, I’m taking her to the address as requested, but before that, I’m going to find out more of her secrets,” I inform him of my decision. His eyes widen as he regards me with the shock that I know he’s feeling. “I have a week.”

“A week to fall more in love with her?” he challenges, which doesn’t help my frustration. He’s walking a very fine line with his accusations, and I don’t appreciate it.

“If you keep on with that, you’ll be sorry. She needs to pay her debt. And it’s time to collect.”

“Why?”

“What do you mean? She needs to finish whatever she started. She lied, time to face the consequences.” Shrugging, I push off the chair and round my desk so that I’m in front him. I pull deeply on the cigar, blowing out smoke circles while I stare at Javier, waiting for him to challenge my choice.

“I understand consequences, Boss, but she’s not Gaia,” he speaks. The warning is clear as he spits Gaia’s name so low that I almost don’t hear it, but he knows the moment I do when I take my cigar and bring it to his eye. The heat of the cherry bud is causing tears to form, and even though it’s not touching his retina, I know he feels every bit of the simmer that could happen. The mind is a wonderful thing when it’s taught pain. After a while, it doesn’t faze you anymore. You can withstand it far longer than you expect. “Do it,” Javi challenges.

I smile. I laugh. I straighten and turn away from him. “You’ve been my right hand for a long time, Javi,” I speak, but I don’t look at him. I couldn’t hurt him. Not even if he brought that whore back into my house and fucked her on my desk. “I’m surprised it wasn’t your dick she was riding.”

“I’m not desperate for pussy,” he bites out, making me laugh. I know he’s not because it’s not the women in my life that he’s jealous of, he’s angry because I prefer pussy to dick.

“No, you’re not,” I tell him. “But Sofía is mine, and I’ll do with her as I wish. Tonight, she’ll accompany me to the dinner, and tomorrow, once she trusts me, I will take her to Rodrigo to explain what his issue is with her. Besides the money, there’s something she’s not telling me about.”

“You let her live, even after she lies to you?” This time I can hear the incredulity in his tone, but I can’t deny that he’s right. If it were anyone else, they’d be tortured, but I have a feeling that my little juguete is someone I can’t hurt physically, but emotionally. And whatever goes down tonight is up to her.

“Get the car ready,” I tell him, before facing him. “I’ll be down in a few.”

“I’ll always be by your side, Victor,” Javier tells me. “Always.” It’s a vow, one that I knew before he voiced it, but I nod in any case. I didn’t realize it until the moment I took Sofía’s purity. I don’t know if being with her gave me the clarity I needed, but I know Javier wants me, but, unfortunately, that won’t happen.
