“My apologies for the small delay. I had something important that required my immediate attention.”
Malcolm stands from his seat with an outstretched hand, smirking at me. “Those things tend to happen from time to time. No apologies needed.”
Turning from him to Javier, I pull him in for a hug. “It’s been a long time, cousin. Everything okay?”
“It is.”
“She said?”
“Not yet,” he hisses, looking over at the women who are too engrossed to care about what we do. “Soon, parce. Soon.”
“Good.” Sol hands me a drink and I look up in time to catch the question in her eyes. I nod, letting her know it’s done. She gives me a minute head movement and retakes her seat, leaving me with two at-ease men with a file in front of them. “So, what brings you here today? How can I be of service?”
“I’ve purchased three of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the US within the last six months, Mr. Lucas. All will be run solely by me without a board of members, and I’m in search of top-quality product.” He sits forward and pushes the envelope toward me. “In there is my proposal for your product and legal documentation showing that you are its owner and I’m merely a vendor. Look at it and discuss it with your wife. I’m more than open to negotiations and lenient on certain clauses.”
“And what’s in it for you?” I’m not going to waste my time reading this. Javier knows better than to waste my time and that this is not Chicago where Mr. Asher rules. “Give me your number?”
“Seventy-five/twenty-five, and you keep the higher percentage. And two, global dominion in its entirety. Everything people eat, drink, use, or simply indulge in will go through us.”
“Us who?”
“The Imperium.”
“I’ll agree with one adjustment—”
“You want a cut of the bigger pie.”
“Always.”
“I had a feeling you’d say that, Mr. Lucas. We accept.”
EPILOGUE #2
Fifteen months later…
“FUCK, I LOVE YOU,” I murmur against her lips, hips pumping in and out of her slowly. We’re riding the high of our release, pulling from each other every last shiver while the water inside the tub splashes and drips over the rim.
It’s a beautiful mess in this bathroom.
The result of holiday planning and hosting.
We’re lost in each other while outside our bedroom door, our families are having dinner together downstairs. It’s the day before Christmas Eve, our first shared holiday after I kept her to myself last year, and I’m tired of sharing her. Of someone needing her opinion on dishes and the spices used and what napkin to use with what ring.
At this point, we could eat empanadas using paper plates while sipping Postobon and I wouldn’t care.
Is it rude of me? Yes.
Do I care? Fuck and no.
Not when my beautiful, pregnant wife goes out of her way to seduce me with every breath and batting of her eyes. With the way she bites her lips and finds every excuse possible to touch me.
My arm.
My back.
My cock when no one is looking.
There’s nothing more decadent than making the sweet and innocent—hungrily corrupt.
