over the years. We hired her on at the club in Reno, and that is where she transformed from the sweet Victoria, to Madam V. Being Dominant helped her get over the years of abuse from her ex, and now she was a natural and very well sought after by men and women at the club.
I polished off my second beer in a matter of minutes, and thought it wise to get some food in me. I took a heaping bite of rice and turned to Toby.
“So where do we go from here?” I said while I tried to chew my rice. Toby sat his plate down and reached for a napkin to wipe sweet and sour sauce that had dribbled down his chin.
“First things first, we need to have a meeting with all the staff. Decide who would be willing to testify on your behalf. Maybe we can interview some of the members as well and see if any are willing to help.”
He paused as he took a swig of his beer before setting it back down onto the coffee table. Knox and Victoria were taking in his suggestions along with me.
“Knox, you should get with your security guys, look through footage and see if there is anything we can find on camera that might be damaging. I don’t care what it is. The prosecution will use anything and everything they can to make you look guilty.” Toby looked out the window and opened his mouth to speak, but then closed it again as if he were struggling to say his next words.
“What, Toby?” I asked him impatiently. Knox and Victoria had stopped eating and focused all of their attention on him.
“I think, I think one of us needs to talk to Ashley.”
My face went stark white and the fork I was holding fell to clank against the hardwood floor, breaking the silence that had strewn between us. I watched in slow motion as all three of their heads turned to look at me and Knox’s eyes narrowed at me suspiciously.
“Dominic, I can talk to her if you want,” Toby suggested.
“You didn’t…” Knox chimed in, “Tell me you fucking didn’t. Dammit, Nic! I knew I shouldn’t have left you today.”
I placed my elbows on my knees and fisted my hair in my hands as I hung my chin towards my chest. Victoria placed her hand on my knee, trying to grab my attention.
“Nic, tell us what happened,” she said in a reassuring voice. Knox stood up so fast he nearly knocked over the food on the table. Memories of how I had fucked Ashley only hours before flooded my thoughts—the feel of her skin beneath me as I pressed her up against the door. My dick twitched in my pants just from the thought of it. She was the only person that could heal the broken parts of me, only she could heal what no medicine could fix. I have been completely taken by her the moment she walked into my club, she was both a relief and a curse.
“Dammit, Nic, you went over there didn’t you?” he asked as he paced back and forth in front of all of us. Toby and Victoria’s heads both snapped in my direction.
“Is that true, Nic? Did you go see her? What did you say to her? You should have known better. Anything you said to her could be used against us,” Toby said. I looked at him and then to Victoria who had a weird expression on her face. I couldn’t tell if it was anger or what.
“I did, not much was said,” I admitted. I rose from the chair, walked over to the pool table, and started to rack the balls. I needed something to keep my hands busy or I was going to fucking lose it.
“You’ve probably scared the shit out of her. I still have this feeling that she didn’t do it on purpose. Talking to Kelly, she said that this is completely out of character for her. She has always been trustworthy and someone who is loyal to those she loves.”
“So says her best friend , Knox. If she didn’t do it on purpose, then why did she do it? Not only did she hurt Nic, but also she put us all out of a job. Are you forgetting that it is your ass on the line too, or are you too pussy whipped by her friend to see who she really is?”
“That is crossing the line, Vic,” Knox
