“She’d hire you in a second as her manager.”
“I’d be fine with assistant manager or hostess. Between the two of us running the club, we’d be pulling in men from all around the tri-state area.”
“I have no doubt,” he murmured, his brow pulled low.
Did that last part bother him? If so, he might not be as accepting as she first thought. And that could be a problem. Even so, she’d give him the benefit of the doubt until it was obvious otherwise.
Plus, it wasn’t like she was looking for anything long term with him. They were simply enjoying spending some time together. Both naked and clothed.
One thing was for certain, she was definitely enjoying his foot massage.
“On that note… tell me what you can about what you’re doing with the Demons.”
The movement of his fingers paused and it took him a bit before he answered. “This, just like what I told you previously, doesn’t go outside of this room, Phire.”
“I promise it’ll go in here,” she tapped her ear, “and not come out of here,” she tapped her mouth.
He grinned. “Well, you already know Saint wants me to do the repairs and maintenance around The Pit.”
“That’s because I rode his ass about it.”
“And we thank you for that. But they want my fake construction company to finish up some work at their clubhouse, too.”
“This is all in addition to you coming to The Pit to make buys.”
“Yeah.”
“So, you’ll be in a good spot to keep an eye on them.”
“Hopefully, but not just them, we need to find T-Bone.”
“To find Sloane’s drug-addicted sister.”
He breathed out a, “Yes.”
“That’s a sad situation and T-Bone’s a total dick. He deserves whatever he has coming to him.”
“And we plan on delivering that, too.”
“When do you start doing construction for them?”
“Tomorrow. This morning Nox and I went over, figured out what we needed equipment-wise and told the Demons what supplies they needed to get for us to finish the job. We took a look around as best as we could, trying not to be too suspicious, then we left.”
“What about the work that needs done at The Pit?”
“We hope to go back and forth. We want the job at the Demons’ church to last as long as possible.”
“What are you specifically looking for?”
“Besides T-Bone? Anything we can nail them on. The more charges we can rack up on that MC, the better.”
“Because some charges are always dropped,” Sapphire surmised.
“That’s right. Throw all the shit you can at the wall and see what sticks. We want to make sure we aren’t doing all of this for nothing. The more indictments that can be brought against that club, the better.”
She thought about their conversation the other day. “You said before that you hope it’ll stop them from trafficking drugs.”
“If they’re all in prison? I sure as fuck hope so. We hope to ravage that damn club so there isn’t enough of them left to continue transporting and selling meth in the future.”
“But the Mafia will just find someone else to transport it for them, won’t they?” she asked.
“They could. It would be nice if the feds crushed La Cosa Nostra, too, but I don’t know what’s going on with that end of that federal investigation, if anything. Our group concentrates on the Demons’ Pennsylvania chapter.”
“Their clubhouse in Uniontown.”
“You’ve seen it?”
“No, I haven’t had that pleasure, but I hear them talking about it. And their parties down in West Virginia. They sound like a blast,” she said dryly.
“I’m sure they’d love for you to join them.”
“And I’m sure you know what I’ll tell them to do with that invite.”
He chuckled.
Once again, his low chuckle did more to her than it should. It also made her want to move to the next part of their night. On the other hand, she was enjoying their conversation. And she was pleased that he trusted her enough to talk about some of the task force details. She would do everything in her power not to break his confidence in her.
“Do you enjoy undercover work?”
“I don’t hate it. And I’m glad to be working on this federal task force. It’s a shitload better than working patrol for my department because I have a lot more freedom with this assignment. Crew has known most of us for years. He trusts us. Because of that, he lets us do our thing without micromanaging us.”
“That’s important. He sounds like a good leader.”
“Don’t ever tell him that.”
Sapphire smiled. “Is he really cocky?”
“He’s something.”
The longer he talked about his job, the faster and deeper he massaged her feet. He dug his thumb into her aching arch and, once again, she moaned softly.
“For fuck’s sake, woman. Just that fucking sound…”
“What about it?” she asked innocently.
“The next time I hear it, I want it to be when we’re both naked and you’re underneath me.”
