breakfast and made pot after pot of coffee that night to wake everyone up out of their drunken and high states so that everyone could help them sweep the compound.
    Braxxon and the brothers chose to tell very few of us what was going on. Even though I’m glad they decided to let us in, it’s also sad because it’s a faithful reminder about what happened to Eagle, Lana, and Haley. Last time we had an unexpected visit from the Russians, we lost three of our own.
    So to say we’re all a little high strung is putting it mildly. To add fuel to our fucking mess, Travis from the Gunners is still showing interest in Tatiana. She’s been through two phones and is now only going in and out of the compound to come to Club Sated. Both of our classes in business management have been put on hold. I had to drop out this semester and my second one as well, while Tatiana had to drop out of her semester that was starting when my second one was. She’s not really broken up about school though, but I can say I am. I’m going nuts having only two locations to travel back and forth to. I had to fight to go to the drugstore the other night. I had the older men take me so they wouldn’t follow me down every single isle.
    When Tatiana enters the office, I sigh in relief and toss my pen down on the desk. I need some company to keep me awake.
    “Hey babe,” I greet her.
    “Hey Storm,” she sighs, sitting in one of the chairs in front of the desk.
    Oh?
    “What’s up?”
    She fiddles with the corner of her sweater. Whatever it is, she’s deep in thought. I hate seeing her this way. The tension between her and Shadow is fierce; even though they’re friends, it’s definitely so thick you can cut that shit with a knife.
    “Am I too young for Shadow?”
    “What? He’s barely over three years older than you, Tatiana. He’s my age. Where is this coming from? You’re not a child.”
    She leans back with a frown. “But if you count his sexual experiences and what he’s into, I’m young. I don’t know shit.”
    “Tatiana… what do you mean by what he’s into?”
    Now I’m worried.
    “I’ve checked it out, you know. I’ve even tried it a few times.” She mumbles.
    What in the hell is she talking about?
    “Dammit, Tatiana!”
    She sighs, giving in. “Getting pain. I’ve tried it during sex. I met this guy at this club Shadow’s always at. I followed him once. I went in… and well I left with a guy. I kept meeting up with him a few times for a few weeks, but then all of this shit happened, and you know.” She shrugs.
    “No, I don’t know.”
    “It’s not like he’s a Dom or anything. Everyone at the clubs says that he just likes giving out pain during sex. He doesn’t take on slaves or whatever; he just likes to dish out pain.”
    What the fuck!
    “He’s a sadist you mean?”
    No wonder ZZ doesn’t want them getting together; it all makes sense now.
    “Yeah, if that means he likes dishing out pain.”
    Fuckin clueless!
    “Tatiana,” I sigh. “If you haven’t heard shit from Shadow’s mouth, don’t take what others say seriously.”
    “Not you too! It’s not that bad; it’s actually sexy and hot.”
    Oh good lord!
    “Promise me that you’ll look more information up about that lifestyle before you go digging any deeper and trying shit. And talk to Shadow, please Tatiana,” I beg her.
    “Fine. I will. Chill Storm,” she laughs.
    Honestly, I find nothing about this information funny. Nothing against Shadow’s lifestyle if that’s what he’s in fact into, but Tatiana doesn’t have a damn clue about this shit.
    “Well anyways… you ready? Everything is done out there. Club is cleaned up, and the employees are leaving.”
    Thank god! I’m flippin tired.
    “Yeah, let’s go.”
    I follow her, scared shitless at the thought of her doing something stupid just to gain attention from Shadow.
