My phone buzzes, and the profile picture that appears with her ringtone pops up. My cock immediately goes stiff at the image of her lifting her top, revealing those perfectly pierced nipples and the earrings I bought her.
I ignore her call and focus back on the papers.
“It might be dangerous looking into Meredith Fork’s history,” Michael suggests, yet again. And I ignore him. Again.
I know it is, which is why I sent a fake tip-off so she thinks I’m looking into something so trivial as a gun deal that went wrong, because that’s not what I’m interested in. What I’m interested in is the photo I’m looking at right now.
Meredith, with a drink in hand, as she sits with a Mr. and Mrs. Ivanov. I don’t replace it a coincidence that she fostered them from the orphanage. It took Will a week to uncover this photo among thousands of other images and dealings she’s had in the past. Now he’s working to figure out their association.
A woman like Meredith doesn’t have a heart or a care in the world for children, so why did she take the twins in? And where the fuck did Anya’s parents go? She’s always so flippant about their whereabouts.
“Sir, if I may. Your obsession with Anya Ivanov might be putting you at risk,” Michael says.
“Michael, are you really set on pissing me off today?” I ask.
“No, sir. I serve you, which means I also offer my council. Either the Ivanovs allow you to do business here and further integrate into their auctions or they don’t.”
“They will.”
In silence, he nods.
My phone buzzes with a photo of Alek Ivanov, dated today.
I smile. Finally, I’ve found him, I think to myself. Until a message follows.
Will: He gave me the slip, but I’m on his tail. You better triple my rate. This guy shot at me twice, and I had a bullet pulled out of my shoulder because of it.
Close. I’m close.
Never in a million years did I think I would be searching halfway around the world for another man.
Fuck, maybe I really am whipped. And all I’ve had is a taste.
