“Good, good. Come, I have a present for you.”

He smiled wide, not building a lot of confidence in me that I’d like this present. I’d been able to arrange the meeting to coincide with Darcie’s birthday. I hadn’t planned on sleeping with her, but it was the only thing on my mind once I was there.

Especially after watching her online for months.

I’d been heartbroken at first when I saw what she was doing, but then I realized why. I knew she needed to find her own footing in her sexuality, and with me leaving, she didn’t have someone to help cover bills. She was surviving and healing, and it was all I wanted for her. I couldn’t be mad at her for finding her own way.

So, I sucked it up and watched and discovered a whole new reason to love her. Darcie was blossoming, and I couldn’t deny her the space to do that, even if it hurt to think she could forget me. She didn’t know I was there, but I never missed a video, and it allowed me to help her without her knowing. It kept me in her world in a safe way.

Walking through the dusty club, I nodded at a few other members, but mostly, I kept my focus on the man next to me. Destroyer wasn’t one for words, so I walked silently next to him, calculating all the different things he could have for me.

When I stepped into my room, I stopped, frozen in my tracks. It wasn’t uncommon to see naked women in the clubhouse, many of them sweet butts hoping to score or become an old lady.

But the two young females lying on my bed, kissing and touching one another, weren’t what I expected. I swallowed, turning to my father. “I don’t understand.”

He laughed. “Fuck, Maddox. I thought you were shy, but you do know what pussy is, right? Please tell me you’re not a virgin? Did Tank not have any prime-grade sweet butts for you to fuck while you were there?”

“I’m not a virgin,” I said, ignoring the rest. At least now when I said that it was true. My father had been on me to taste the products more recently, but I never expected him to go out of his way by shoving two naked teens at me. Not that I was a lot older at 24, but they barely looked 18. “Why are you giving me girls?” I asked, turning to him. “I’m capable of finding my own.”

“I thought you could use a distraction from your girl now that you’re here to stay. And after your trip, I wanted to reward you. But if you don’t want my gift, then I’ll just give them to the guys.”

I swallowed, not wanting to subject these girls to the assholes he called brothers. “No, it’s fine. Can I have some privacy then?”

“There’s my boy.” He clapped me on the back, walking out of the room. “Come see me when you’re done. There’s some business I need to discuss. I’ve found a match for your sister.” He grinned wide, his burden finally off his plate in his eyes.

Gritting my teeth, I nodded, watching him walk out of the room. The door clicking allowed me to relax, some of the tension leaving the room with him gone. Hands touched me from behind, and I jumped, spinning.

“No,” I said, pointing.

“But you said…” she pouted.

Shielding my eyes, I walked over to where I spotted their clothes. “It doesn’t matter what I said. I’m saying no. Please, get dressed. I won’t be having sex with you.”

“Then what are we doing?” the other asked, not wasting time to put her clothes on. Smart girl.

“I don’t know. You can’t leave for a bit, so he’ll think we had sex. We could watch a movie or play video games, I guess.”

In my mind, it was the furthest thing I wanted to do, but I knew I had to weigh everything precisely right now. If he was already moving forward with his plan for Becca, then I had to think fast.

The girls settled on the couch with snacks and pulled up a movie. I pulled out my computer, checking all my accounts and seeing if there were any new messages from Tank. I knew he was avoiding Darcie, but he’d been talking with me after I told him the update on the situation. He was mad at first that I’d left her, but when I’d told him what was at stake, he eventually agreed it had been the right call.

If I’d gone to jail then, not only would that have left Darcie vulnerable, but Becca too, and the whole operation we had against my father would’ve fallen apart. I only needed a few more pieces of evidence, and we could put him away.

No, I had to go home, even if it was the last thing I’d wanted to do at the time.

There weren’t any new messages on the server, but I did have a new message from a contact. Pulling it up, I glanced over at the girls, but they were still immersed in the movie.

MadDog,

I got what you need. Let’s meet tonight.

Tom

A sigh of relief filled me, and I relaxed back into the couch. A ping went off, and I looked at my notifications, finding a new message from Rose.

Liquid heat surged forward, and I wished the girls were gone now. Clicking on the message, I scanned it quickly, devouring every word.

Shadow,
