Daisy was back in the car next to William. Her heart was pounding inside her chest, and her head was pounding, too. She felt like she’d been in a fight for the championship or something. Her two half brothers could really lay it on thick when they wanted to. They’d practically begged her to stay with them. The letter scared her. She wasn’t going to lie. It was the first time anyone had threatened her. Pretending the letter didn’t bother her wouldn’t fool anyone.
William drove them through to the city.
“You can talk to me,” he said.
“I know. I haven’t got anything to say.”
“Are you regretting your decision not to stay with them?” he asked.
“What? No, I’m fine with it all. I’m just nervous about the threatening letter. I’ve obviously pissed someone off for them to want me dead, right?”
“It could merely be a threatening letter.”
“I hope you’re right.”
He pulled up outside of a blacked out shop. The street looked deserted. “I’ll never let anything happen to you,” he said.
“I know, William. I just don’t see why I’m so special that someone wants to hurt me.”
“We probably should have stayed around to see Gabriel. I’ll call him to meet us at the club.”
“Only if you feel it's necessary.”
“Your safety is necessary to me, pet. Always. Now, how would you like to see inside a sex shop?”
“You’re corrupting me,” she said, smiling.
“You love it.”
She got out of the car and followed him inside the blackened out shop. Inside the shop was something else. The decorations were light, and there were plenty of bright lights on the accessories in the shop.
“Is that William Johnson I see?” a woman said from behind the counter. The woman was blonde with large breasts and a trim waist.
“It sure is,” he said.
The blonde walked toward him and gave him a hug. “It has been too long, William.”
“Yvette, I’d like you to meet my woman, Daisy. Daisy, this is Yvette.”
“Pleasure,” Yvette said. “Wow, your taste has not changed. She looks good enough to eat. Do you still share?”
Daisy eyes widened as Yvette licked her lips while looking at her. William chuckled. He leaned down and whispered in her ear. “Yvette likes to play with women, pet.”
“I remember a time when you’d share, William.”
“Maybe another time. I’m here for a few items.”
“For your pet?”
William merely smiled.
“Then follow me.” Yvette locked the main door then took them both into the back room.
“Yvette reserves part of the shop for her more exclusive customers. I’ll get to try them out on you before I buy.”
“Is that allowed?” Daisy asked.
“This is my shop, pet. I do what I want and blow the people who try to stop me. You’ve got to learn to take a stand in life. Otherwise, people will walk all over you.”
