“Sorry, madame. That’s not one of our services,” he says, the accent returning.

“I paid for the deluxe package, which I’m pretty sure you have, so…” I lick my lips as I watch him adjust his hard-on. “If you don’t fuck me six ways to Sunday, I’ll have no choice but to leave a bad review. You wouldn’t want that, would you?”

“You and that smart mouth,” he tsks, removing his clothes as I stare at him.

“Let me suck your cock and show you what else it can do.”

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN

ARCHER

After the steamy weekend getaway a couple of weekends ago, Everleigh has finally calmed down. I wanted to help her work through her stress and anxiety, and I think that mini-vacation helped.

“Your form is getting better,” I tell Kyle when his session ends. “How’re you feelin’ about your competition this weekend?”

The gym started hosting tournaments for my clients to fight in a safe and structured manner. The winner gets a free week of sessions and smoothies, plus bragging rights. It was all Tyler’s idea so people would sign up to participate.

“Toby has nothin’ on me,” he retorts in his usual cocky tone.

“I dunno. He’s been very focused lately.”

Kyle rolls his eyes, and I grin.

“See ya later,” I tell him. I love seeing the progression of the younger guys who’ve been training with me since I started. Every week they come in ready to learn and advance their skills.

When I run into Tyler, I let him know I’m gonna take my break since I have an hour before my next client arrives. I head to the break room and grab the sub I packed.

As I check my phone, there’s a text from an unknown number. It’s the first one she’s sent in a couple of weeks. When I open it, there’s another photo. It’s a selfie of Krystal, showing the top of her black hair, and I notice she’s near a playground. Behind her, Annie pushes Sadie on a swing set, and I nearly drop my phone as my adrenaline rushes.

I wait for her threats to follow, but they don’t come. It’s perfectly clear that Annie and Sadie aren’t safe.

I check their location, and it shows she’s near her building.

Archer

Where are you guys?

Annie

At the park across from the apartment. Why?

Fuck. Krystal’s watching them right now.

Archer

I need you to take Sadie and go home. Lock the doors.

Annie

Tell me why.

Archer

Please, just listen to me.

I could tell her that Krystal was there, but I didn’t want to risk Annie or Sadie getting hurt. Annie will find her and make a scene. If Krystal’s as close as the picture looks, she’s in violation of her restraining order, but I doubt she cares. By the time the cops arrive, she’ll be gone.
