He made sure she was stable before he took a step back. “Are you okay?” he asked.
She nodded.
“Good.” He walked to the closet and brought down the clothing he’d hidden in the back that Graham had given them for her to wear. “Try these on and see if any of them fit. I’ll get you more in the next few days.”
She nodded again.
He walked out of the bathroom, pulled his phone out, and answered it. “This is Moretti.”
“Hey, boss. There was trouble at the lounge early this morning.”
“What happened?” Dominic asked.
“A Molotov cocktail was thrown through the window,” Buzz said.
“Fuck.”
“Fortunately, Jon and I were still there, so we could put it out quickly.”
“How much damage?”
“The window will get replaced today, and the floor where it hit is dark from the fire. There’s also the smoke smell, but we had the fans going all night. Neither of us left in case they came back.”
“You both are getting a raise.”
“Whoa, you don’t have to do that,” Buzz said.
“You both have been moved to management, right?”
“Yeah.”
“That comes with a raise.”
“Fuck, that’s cool. I’ll tell Jon.”
“Good. What needs to be done, and will we be able to open up tonight?” Dominic asked.
“Yeah. Most of the smoke smell is already gone, and we’ve been washing things off with a strong detergent, so that helps. The window place said they could be here in a few hours.”
“Is there a way for us to get bulletproof glass on all the windows?”
“I’ll ask.”
“I’m going to call a guy. His name is Carson. He deals with security. I’m going to ask him to put up cameras that will pick up anyone fucking with us.”
“That’s a great idea.”
“I’ll stop by later. You guys can use the apartment upstairs. You could actually move in. I’m not going to be needingit.”
“Fuck, it just gets better.”
Dominic chuckled. “Try to get some sleep. Maybe call in a few guys.”
“I’ll do that. We’ll see you soon.”
Dominic stuffed his phone in his pocket, turned, and almost swallowed his tongue at the vision in front of him. She was wearing a long, flowered skirt with a lacy top. There hadn’t been any shoes, so she was barefoot. Her long, light-blonde hair was dry and flowed down her back, with a chunk of it covering one of her breasts.
She was incredibly beautiful and feminine, and he would never let her go.
