Chapter One

Tess was lounging in bubbles, in a tub so divine that it covered her boobs and her knees at the same time.

Lounging was the only possible way to describe it. For once in a rare while, Toro had left her alone while he went off to conduct important business, which he called, Too sensitive for her virgin ears. He’d laughed in that typical weasel way, clearly enjoying calling her a virgin when she was anything but. The good news was that the skinny old bastard could barely get stiff anymore, but that didn’t stop him from pawing her whenever he got the chance or sending one of his goons to her to be rewarded.

Tess had been a sex worker since she was a teenager. When Toro had picked her up out of one of his clubs and offered her a life in the lap of luxury, she’d leaped at the chance. The clubs were okay; she’d worked in one of the nicer ones, and Toro didn’t usually string his girls out on drugs or put up with customers who forced themselves on the dancers. And most of the goons were fine. They didn’t last long, they didn’t get too rough, and they didn’t expect much of her. It was fine.

But it was still nice to relax, to stretch out and know that no one was going to bother her for a few hours. She had her hair piled up on her head so that her dark curls wouldn’t get wet. She closed her eyes and just let herself drift. Toro took good care of her. She had all the clothes and jewelry she could want, she ordered any food she cared to, she had a nice computer, a nice phone, plenty of books, movies on demand. It was a better life than she’d imagined for herself when she left home at fourteen. A better life than she’d ever had on the streets.

It was jarring when she heard the footsteps outside her bedroom door. Her chest tensed up; Toro had promised her the afternoon, but that promise wouldn’t have amounted to much of anything if he felt like giving her to someone. She listened for the footsteps. Maybe someone just needed something in the room? But no, the footsteps came closer to the bathroom door, and the door handle turned slowly before opening.

The man who stepped into the room was tall, attractive, and moved like he thought he was sneaking into a hive of bees. He didn’t even seem to notice her as he surveyed the room, which meant that she got to take a nice, long look at him. She didn’t recognize him from Toro’s organization, but that wasn’t surprising. His lieutenants and enforcers changed so often that she had stopped paying attention to their names more than a year ago.

The
