I got up from my position on the ground while rubbing my neck. Luca stood emotionless beside me and I really didn't want him to kill the dumb chicken man. I wasn't in the mood to have blood on me. I'd just gotten out of the "safe house" for God's sake! Forced a smile on my face. I was so going to regret this."Hi there. I'm sorry. There's nothin' goin' on here," I said in a Southern accent."You sure?" the chicken man asked."Yeah of course. My boyfriend here just gets a little bit... kinky," I said with a shy smile as I moved closer to Luca, putting my palm on his chest.Luca wrapped an arm around my waist and I was shocked for a second. Just a second. "I'm so sorry you caught us like that.""Uhhh... it's cool," the chicken man said kicking the ground. Great kid. Now leave."If you don't mind, I'm going to finish what I started," Luca said with a very impressive American accent. He moved his hand from my waist to my shoulders and turned around, walking us to where I assumed his car w

Luca dragged me around the house to what looked like a boardroom. I could see plans on the walls and a huge black desk that Alexa was using as a screen. Cool.Everyone in the room looked at Luca and me in surprise and intrigue when we entered. Alexa's expression though became murderous. I was sure to give her a wink though. She didn't phase me. Her eyes widened and her cheeks turned red as she glared at me.Luca set me down at the back of the room. "Someone get me noise-cancelling headphones," He commanded, and a red pair where put in his hands not a second later.He put them over my ears as I glared at him. After that, he turned and started addressing the other people in the room. I counted six and they all had their backs to me so I couldn't read their lips. Instead, I began to untie my ropes.The rough fibre rubbed against my brown skin painfully but I wasn't about to give up anytime soon. It took quite a while but I managed to slip one hand out of the rope and the other was easily

"This one?""No. Too slutty.""Ok. This one?""No too innocent.""Fine. This one?""Um.... no," I said looking at the dress with a feather-like trail. Lily had finished my make-up and brought a rack with different dresses into the bathroom."Well, what do you want? You've refused almost all of them," Lily said clearly frustrated. I rolled my eyes at her. The dress was important. It was the first thing Elliot was going to notice so it had to be good. I went over to the rack and looked through the dresses, one by one."I need something that shows my body but not in a way to make it obvious. Something that portrays innocence but also sexiness," I mumbled."Well, how in the hell are we supposed to find that?" Lily asked with a roll of her eyes."Ciara, Elliot's ex-wife wore silk a lot so that's a no-no. I hate feathers, sparkles, beads, and really anything that brings too much attention to the dress," I said. "I think it's best we went with lace.""Lace?" Lily asked from behind me."Yeah,

My feet clicked on the street sidewalk as I walked towards the casino, the encounter in the elevator tucked far in my mind for future reference. I had a job to do now and I had to stay focused. The building I was headed to was easy to spot.It was huge and the front had what seemed to be millions of lights, both blinding and attracting. THE NOVA glowed in pretty gold at the top of the building. There were lots of people out tonight, most were tourists who stopped to take pictures, others were businessmen rushing to the office, and a cute couple passing by once in a while.Most of the things I saw were new to me. The cars, the phones, the girls who walked around wearing revealing clothes, and gay couples who weren't afraid to show their passion for one another in public. These were just a few of the things.Men's eyes followed me as I walked to the casino. I was aware of the attention and knew how to handle myself if one of the idiots decided to get a little handsy. I reached the casin

I grabbed Maddox's hand and pulled him with me towards where Elliot was supposed to be headed. He kept getting stopped by people who wanted to talk with him so that worked in my favor."Lucy. What on earth are you doing?" Maddox asked."Elliot's slipping from me. I need to get his attention and you are going to help," I hissed at him."I can't. I could get kicked out," Maddox said."Not if you do this properly," I answered. Maddox had on a brunette wig that made him look so much different. "Take off the wig."Maddox glared at me. "This isn't part of the plan.""No shit Sherlock but we need to do this ok?" I said and he sighed, nodding. "Good. Follow me."I led Maddox down the hallway that the guests who stayed could use to get to their rooms because there was an elevator at the end which was the tip of a T hallway."When Elliot comes, run down this side, there should be a closet there for you to hide in," I said turning to Maddox and pointing left."You sure it's left?" He asked looki
