“He won’t come back for more?”
“I’ll draw up the paperwork to sever his rights, and we’ll get him to sign before you give him a dime. Legally, there will be nothing he can do after that.”
“Doesn’t guarantee he won’t show up later and stir up shit unless I pay him again,” I argued.
“Which is why you, Fox, Mav, and a couple of other enforcers take the paperwork to him. Make sure he understands just exactly who he’s trying to fuck with.”
I mulled it over for a minute, then sighed. “Fine. Can you get me that shit today?”
“Yeah, it’s standard stuff. Won’t take me long.”
We hung up, and I glanced at the clock, irritated as fuck to see that I only had ten minutes before my next client.
I needed to calm down, and I knew hearing Ellery’s voice would take the edge off.
“Hey, you,” she greeted softly, making me smile.
“Hi, baby. How’re my girls doin’?”
“Great. We’re headed to the library for story time.”
“Jake followin’ you?” I was never gladder that I had someone watching over my girls all the time.
“Yes.” She giggled, and my lips tipped up at the corners in response. “As tempting as it is to earn a spanking, I won’t risk our safety.”
“Plenty of other ways to earn a red ass, baby,” I growled, shifting in my seat because my pants had become uncomfortably tight. “Not really a punishment if you’re begging for it, though.”
Ellery gasped. “I don’t beg,” she protested.
I laughed. “Baby, that was absolutely the wrong thing to say.”
“Why?”
“'Cause now I’m gonna have to prove you wrong.”
“What time are you done tonight?”
I grinned at her eager voice, and my swollen cock became painfully hard.
“Two more appointments, then I’m coming home to my girls. Shouldn’t be more than two hours, tops.”
“Great. We should be home long before that, so I’ll get dinner ready.”
“Thanks, baby. See you later.”
“I lo—um—I’ll see you later,” she fumbled over her words.
I was about to call her on what she’d been about to say when Dahlia rapped on my doorjamb and jerked her head toward my station. Now wasn’t the time to get into that discussion anyway. I nodded and said goodbye to Ellery before greeting my client and getting to work.
I was just about to start on my last client a little over an hour later when Molly came rushing around the small wall separating the tattoo stations. She was holding her phone to her ear but pulled it away and handed it to me when I looked up. “It’s Jake. You need to take this. Something happened to Ellery and Corinne.”
My heart lodged itself in my throat, but I snatched the phone and croaked, “What happened?”
“Ellery is okay, but someone took Corinne.”
A roar of fury exploded from my chest, and I jumped to my feet, running to my office to grab my keys while still getting the details from Jake. He gave me the intersection where Ellery was waiting. “I’m on my way back. Fucking lost the asshole around a sharp corner.”
Molly had followed me outside, and once I hung up, I tossed the phone to her before riding out of there like a bat out of hell.
