“Thanks for the opportunity.”
She climbs out of the SUV and saunters over to Petey’s club. It’s one of many. I need him to come up off the New York location. It’s right between the Di Lorenzo Industries offices, the new dorms for the Dolls, and where my apartment will be once it’s ready.
It’s where I plan to run the Dollhouse. What will look to others as a gentlemen’s club will be none other than a hit house. With tunnels below allowing for those Bajan friends of mine to offer their cemetery services.
You might come in, but good luck making it back out. If you’re invited to my Dollhouse, someone came to me for a favor. It’s also where everyone will learn to come to me for favors.
New York’s most exclusive dungeon and tit den. Petey’s club is the perfect location because it has four levels, including the underground level that dumps into the tunnels. The place was once a church converted into a library turned club.
I have ten dolls who once stripped for a living. Dangerous as fuck to look at and be around. However, the bottle-service girls will be just as lethal. It has never been my intention to force my girls into sex work. Although everyone will play their part and what they choose to do with their bodies is their own business.
I’ve yet to meet them all in person, but I know everything about each one in my collection. I know who will do what and just where to use them. Are you seeing how I’m becoming the most valuable man in the room, like Nonno advised?
My gift is in not taking everything literally. That will be the curse others will fall into. Seeing my dolls with me and Jace will uphold the rumors Riccardo started about me. And yet, it’s all an illusion to make others envy what they don’t understand.
To have balls enough to flaunt a bisexual relationship says a lot about me. It says I don’t give a fuck. Which leads me to the next thing I need from Petey before the Dollhouse opens.
I need to pull off getting those books open and I’m going to use him to do it. Every move has two heads that will roll, otherwise the move is useless, too much energy wasted.
“Here we go,” Jace says and nods out the window.
Petey’s goomar pulls up in her red BMW with a screeching halt. She jumps out, yelling and fussing. Alyona steps off the line she’s waiting on and bumps the screaming broad as she passes her.
The chick turns and gets in Alyona’s face. Wrong move. Alyona shoves her. That’s when the target spits in her face. Alyona pulls her gun and puts a bullet right between her eyes.
I can’t help the smile that comes to my lips. Well done. Petey steps out the front door right then. Alyona turns, flipping her hair and since her back is to me, I can only assume she smiles.
Petey watches after her as she takes off. Ming and Kamiko are waiting a few blocks away to pick her up. She’ll be fine. A few months ago, Nonno and I were here for him to introduce me to my mother’s officer friends.
I have lots of friends now, from New York to New Jersey. I’m well covered. When the Dollhouse is up and running, I plan to have a party for those friends to create a few insurance plans.
Nothing like a married cop caught with his pants down or a single cop soliciting sex. Nasty business there. No one sees me coming and that’s the way I like it.
“Andiamo. I made good on my promise. Now this guy needs to come through on his,” I say to Jace and step out of the SUV.
CHAPTER 27
Taken Care Of
Gio
I sit at the kitchen island reading the paper and looking at the latest group of potentials Jace has for me. I don’t have my core dolls yet. I have three at most, I need twelve.
I take a sip of my coffee and look up as Ny’s heels clicking against the tiles grabs my attention. She looks fantastic in a pair of tight black jeans with a sheer black shirt. However, she has a pout on her face. I scowl and get ready to ask what’s the problem, but Jace beats me to it.
“What’s the matter? I thought you were taking your car in for service. What happened?”
She comes to stand beside me and leans her head on my shoulder. I place my hand on her lower back right above her ass.
“I did, but they started with this long list of things that need to be done. I get the car is older now. It’s not even about the money. I swear they’re only taking advantage because I’m a woman.”
