Chapter 20-Ryan’s POV ( distraction…)
I knew Beck was upset.
He had his rights for being so.
He was a first hand witness to the blood bath and also to the aftermath that Sherizad had brought onto our pack.
Sherry’s presence in our house was a constant reminder of that.
The striking resemblance she shared with my girl was beyond the word ‘unimaginable’.
When I saw her or looked at her face, my mind skipped all the years in between and settled straight for the time of our first meeting.
She was fearless and wild. The most feminine male , if that was even a proper way of describing her.
I still remembered how often she used to get in trouble with her father for her rogue behavior.
My lips effortlessly broke into a smile every time I remembered those times, even when I was in pain.
The ringing of my phone drew my attention back to my office desk.
The pen slipped from my hand and it rolled till it landed straight in front of Rose’s s*xy bare legs.
I had met her a few times before, she was a stripper at one of the clubs I frequented.
She impressed me a lot with her capabilities and her looks as well.
Now, she works as a stripper at one of my clubs.
She had the perfect body with the perfect curves. Every inch of her was in proportion. From the curl on her forehead to the nail polish on her toes.
” I think you dropped something Boss! ”
She picked the pen up and walked right beside my chair.
She was always clad in a body hugging suit and it definitely made her look badass.
She was a killer not only attraction wise, but literally.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
She was a mercenary , proudly trained by my father.
” Tell me baby, why did you have to have me over? Do you need some services like last time? ”
She touched me from behind.
It was not like she was touching me for the first time.
In Fact I had f* She was hard only about last month.
But my hands automatically held her hands as she tried traveling under my jacket.
” I did not call you here because of me. I yelled at Beck today. ”
At that she raised her eyebrow.
” Really? Why did that happen? What did he do? ”
She knew us from the time my father took us in as his own.
My foster father if i should be more accurate. But he was the only father I really had. My old man never really took me as his own son.
” You don’t need to know. He did nothing wrong. But he needed to trust me. Trust my process. That was all he had to do. ”
I never liked giving away too much personal information. Lucky Rose never was nosey. She got straight to the point.
” Got it! You want me to lift his mood. ”
I nodded.
” On the mission boss! ”
She grabbed my glass and went out walking on a catwalk, sipping my water as if it was liquor.
It had been just a few minutes since Rose left.
I was still sitting at my desk in my office, going over some paperwork, when Rose walked back in. She was wearing a tight red dress this time, and high heels, her hair styled in loose waves. Dressed for the job I had given her, I guessed.
“Hey there, Ryan,” she purred as she walked towards me. “I see you are still working.”
I stood up from my desk and walked towards her, a small smirk playing at the corner of my lips. “What brings you back to my office, Rose?”
She leaned against my desk, her body just inches away from mine. “I need a favor,” she said, her voice low and sultry. “And I know you’re the kind of man who can help me out.”
I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “What kind of favor?”
“It’s about my ex-boyfriend,” she said. “He’s been giving me trouble lately, and I need someone to take care of him.”
I nodded slowly, understanding the implications. “And why do you think I can help you with that?”
“Come on, Ryan,” she said, reaching out to run her fingers along my arm. “I know you have connections. You’re not just some businessman or mafia’s son. And I know you are strong. ”
She winked in the most flirtatious way.
” I thought killing was your passion. You could easily cut through his chest without blinking an eye! ”
I said.
” Oh, no, no! Never! I am not a violent person by nature. I only kill if there is someone paying for it because you know how much I love my money, sugar! And you know how gentle I am when it comes to matters of the heart. Just like you sugar! ”
I chuckled, enjoying her flattery. “And what do I get in return for this favor?”
Rose leaned in closer, her lips almost touching my ear. “Anything you want,” she whispered. “Anything at all.”
I felt a shiver run down my spine at her words.
I needed some distraction from all the nonsensical drama around Sherry’s presence.
With Rose in the picture, I knew that I was in for an interesting night. “Alright, Rose,” I said, stepping back from her. “I’ll see what I can do.”
As she walked out of my office, I couldn’t help but wonder what I was getting myself into. But one thing was for sure – Rose was going to be worth it.
She could easily relieve me of all those emotional tensions.
