“How are you adjusting to your new life?”
“Alright, I guess.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Hayden, you are distant.”
“What are you talking about? I make love to you every chance I get.”
“Hayden, you know what I mean. Anytime I mention I’m going to work you shut down. When I get home from work you don’t touch me.”
I smirked. “You want me to touch you after every man in that place touched my breasts, my ass, and my pussy! Are you fucking kidding me? You are my wife, not my fucking girlfriend. My job is to protect you no matter what.”
I ripped the sunglasses from my face. “I’ll kill any motherfucker who crosses the line. How many times do I have to say all of you belongs to me. This isn’t a fucking game.” I walked over to the balcony over-looking the city.
Lydia stepped over to me. “Hayden, you said you would break someone’s fingers.” She shook her head.
“Men touch me every day. Sometimes in places they shouldn’t, but you can’t hurt everyone. Talk to me Hayden.”
I gripped the silver rail tight before sitting on the tan outdoor sofa. Lydia sat beside me, staring. “This happened the night you were acting weird in the shower asking me to stop stripping.” Her hand flew over her mouth. “The business you and Sebastian had to handle.”
She paused. “Oh my God, Hayden tell me what happened.”
I told her everything. “I broke each of his fingers then strangled him to death after we found out where the children were buried.”
Lydia’s body shivered under the hot sun. “He watched me since I was child. He was one of my regular customers. That was the first time he touched me like that.” The tears poured down her face.
“I’m-I’m going to be sick.” She ran through the house into the bathroom.
I ran after her. I held Lydia’s hair as she vomited. I helped her to the sink, rinsing her mouth out with water. I grabbed a towel running it under water patting her forehead. “It’s ok, baby.” I rubbed her back with my free hand.
“How many more Hayden?”
I closed my eyes. “Four. 1 pedophile and 3 rapist who are also murderers.”
She stopped brushing her teeth, staring at me in disbelief. “Hayden, why are they still coming to the club?”
“Lydia, they are felons. Bad guys like to watch beautiful women strip too. They have to slip up to get caught. Right now, all I can do is have them watched. I have your apartment searched every time you go home because I don’t want anyone to harm you.”
Her sad eyes broke my heart. She fell into my arms crying. “You don’t have to worry about anything. I will keep you safe.” I kissed her hair, while holding her tight.
“Lydia, I told you to stay home and relax. Let me pay the debt.”
“Hayden, I don’t feel right letting you pay my father’s debt. Do you have pictures of the men who still come into the club?”
I glanced down at her. “When you quit, I will give you the pictures.” I walked away.
“Why?”
“Why, should I give them to you now, so you can freak out every day. My men are on it. I guess, I will continue to be distant until you stop stripping.”
Lydia’s eyebrows scrounged together, she clinched her fists, standing in the middle of the living room.
“Hayden, don’t do this.”
I stepped closer to her. “Don’t do what try to take care of my wife. This is the dumbest shit Lydia. I’m a fucking Billionaire! I can pay the bill several times over. Fuck, the bills and let me handle it.”
Her hand flew through the air, I grabbed it. “Don’t! This shit stops now. I’m your husband. Any other woman wouldn’t blink twice when I offered to pay the bills.”
“Fuck, you and fuck them! I am Lydia!” she pointed her finger into her chest.
“Yeah, you are Lydia Gaster. What the fuck don’t you get? You’re married to a billionaire!”
“Fuck you and your money!”
I threw my hands in the air, then stormed out onto the deck and continued my meal.

I felt Lydia climb into our bed. She smelled like fresh strawberries. I hadn’t seen her since our argument earlier that day. Lydia straddled me, kissing my neck. She placed my hands on her ass. “Touch me Hayden.”
