She snorted. "I don't know who you're used to dealing with, but I'm not her. I don't take orders."

I let out a sigh; this was going to take a wrong turn if I didn't steer us back to the task at hand. I didn't want her angry while trying on clothing.

"Let's go," I demanded.

She said nothing and followed me out of the front door where my driver was waiting. I had given him specific instructions to have the blacked-out SUV waiting in the driveway. He came around to open the door for both Nova and I. She said nothing the entire drive, only stared out the window.

It gave me time to finally study her. She didn't wear any makeup and her skin seemed to be smooth and blemish free. A time or two, we locked eyes, but she remained quiet. The car eventually lurched to a stop, and the driver got out and came to open our doors. Once we were on the sidewalk of a bunch of shops, I ushered her in.

"I can walk fine," she murmured.

"Good, now get in there and don’t even think of causing a scene," I hissed.

Two ladies greeted us upon entering. One was blonde with a huge chest tucked away inside of a button up white shirt while her coworker was short and stocky in the same outfit.

"Welcome toOui," the blonde said, looking between the both of us. "I'm Sara and this is Delia. Can we interest you in anything specific? Champagne?"

Answering for both of us, I said, "We'll have two glasses of champagne and she will have whatever she wants."

Their mouths just about dropped open, but the one called Delia nodded and headed off to get the champagne. Sara took Nova and began to show her around. I took a seat by the dressing rooms and watched as Nova began picking up clothing.

Taking my phone from out of my back pocket, I saw that Valentin had texted.

ATF just raided one of our warehouses....

My head was already beginning to throb at just the thought as I sent back question marks for more details.

No one was on site when it happened, but they seized almost a million in product.

What in the fuck was going on? I inhaled sharply and replied,That's very suspicious. We'll talk more tonight at the club.

I'll see you then,Val replied as Nova came out in her first outfit.

It was a sheer top that barely covered her breast and a skirt that inched up her long legs, legs that I could imagine wrapped around my waist at any moment.

"This isn't really something thing I'd wear," she said and began checking her reflection over her shoulder.

"Then you definitely need to wear that tonight." I licked my lips and leaned forward.

"Tonight?"

"Yes," I said.

I knew my gaze was beginning to make her uncomfortable the way she twitched around and moved. With a huff she went back in to try on another number. Moments later she returned wearing a short white dress that dropped off her shoulders. She reached up and pulled her hair down and with a toss of her head she became perfection wrapped in silk.

And I was speechless. My mouth even seemed to have gone dry for just a moment.

"This is definitely too much," she said.

"Yes," I agreed.

She frowned at my words. "I'm wearing this one then."

The way she said it, it seemed like a challenge, as if she were daring me to tell her to do the exact opposite.

"Try on the lingerie next." I smirked. "I want to see your tits encased in some silk."
