“No, I’m just an early riser and thought that the sooner I try to find something that will link the traffickers with any of the shipping, the quicker we might be able to stop whoever is kidnapping all these women,” I answer.
“Well, you are going to have to take a break,” Katrina says as she leans over my shoulder to look at the screen of the laptop.
“Oh, why?” I was hoping to get as much done as possible as there is a lot of data to go through.
“Because, late last night your man came to knock on our door nearly getting himself killed, I’ll tell you,” Gabriela says with a grin, “Bjarni doesn’t like to be interrupted when he’s being treated,” at her naughty innuendo I grin.
“Eww,” Saskia mutters, “No man Gabriela, too much info,” she quips as she slaps Gabriela playfully on the arm.
“Why did he interrupt you?” I ask
“He gave Bjarni this,” Gabriela holds up her hand where I see a bank card, “apparently he had to leave early this morning but he said that you are going to need some new stuff and if Bjarni would give you this.” Why didn’t he just wake me? Or leave it in the room with a note?
“I heard him tell Bjarni that you might argue, therefore, because we love shopping, we thought that we might help you spend some of your man’s money.” I shake my head in surprise. One thing is true I would have argued if he had given me the card. I have my own money and will not be taking his to buy myself clothes or whatever else I need.
“I don’t need his money,” I mutter as I look at the card that Gabriela has placed before me.
“No, no,” Saskia says as she shakes her head at me, “Elemental’s are driven to take care of their woman, you have to let him do these things for you.” Then she lowers her voice, “he has been living for quite a long time, trust me when I say that all of them are very well off.” I shake my head; I can’t spend his money, it is just against the way I am. I have always been very independent, and I won’t start now letting someone else pay for whatever I need.
“I will buy some stuff, but I will pay with my own money.”
“Fine, but be aware that they are alpha males through and through, if you don’t pay with his card, he will more than likely just place money in your account.” Katrina says which has me frowning.
“He won’t get my banking details to be able to do that.” The women smile, Gabriela shakes her head in amusement.
“Sweetheart, trust me when I tell you that if Ulrich wants to know your banking details, then Celmund will get it for him within five minutes.” I have heard this Celmund’s name before, and it all leads me to believe that he is a hacker. Shaking my head in defeat I look around at all of them seeing their excited expressions, I have never been one that likes to shop but I do need new things as I am still using Tanya’s clothes. They are definitely the last persons clothes I want to be wearing. That thought has me nodding, which in turn has the women take over.
I am out of the club and in a car with Burkhart driving and Dag and Haldor riding behind us before I even know what is happening. Well, seeing as I can’t go home yet, and Ulrich is only coming back tomorrow, I might as well enjoy my day with these amazing women. The longer I am with them, the more I crave the relationships I see they have. I know that they will be leaving tomorrow, and I will be once again alone in a place surrounded by men as Katrina told me that Camille and Andy are also leaving. Apparently, Tor has arranged with another Elemental’s club to take them in. I have decided that I will enjoy this time that I have left with these women as I don’t know when I will see them again as they all have children and don’t usually ride out with their men.
They have invited Ulrich and I over for Christmas, but I don’t know if we will be going or if I will still be here. I hope that I will, if they can be believed this thing with Ulrich and I is forever, I just wonder if it will be my kind of forever.
