Faith (A Dark Romance Novel) by Terry Towers Read Free Book Online

you need to do is prepare the girls and have them ready when we need them. You get money and security, and we get well-trained American women – everyone wins. You’re the best and we can trust you. We know that, and I won’t lie, we need that.
    I’d heard it all before. Numerous times. I still had no interest.
    Tanner: I’ve decided to fly straight.
    Flynn: Tanner. Please. Don’t lie to me. We know you have two women currently. The newest one picked up last night from a little town an hour away from you. Rather close to home with that one, if you ask me, but who am I to judge?
    Motherfuckers are watching me .
    My blood began to boil and my free hand clenched into a tight fist. I wasn’t surprised, but pissed nonetheless. We’re a family here, my boy, The Boss had said to me many, many years ago , and family watches over each other. Now that you’re one of us, you’ll never be alone . He hadn’t been kidding. Problem was, I wanted to be alone.
    Tanner: So you’re having me watched?
    Silence.
    Tanner: Flynn?
    Flynn: Lance Winters is still out there. It’s for your own protection.
    That was another instance where I could have laughed out loud but forced myself to refrain.
    Tanner: If Lance Winters wanted me dead, I’d be dead. The man murdered his own father, along with men he’s known and worked with for years. He’s a master marksman and knows just about everything there is to know about guns and explosives. So like I said, if he wanted me dead, I’d be dead. My guess is that he’s holed up somewhere, playing the happy couple with his little slave, using a fake identity. I suspect we’ll never see him again.
    Flynn: We’re hardly scared of a traitor like Lance Winters.
    I shrugged.
    Track him down . Get your men killed. Suit yourself. Not like I care either way. Good luck with that.
    As long as they kept that shit off my doorstep, I didn’t get a flying rat’s ass what they did. Personally I had no beef with Lance Winters – my connection with him had been severed when the compound was destroyed.
    Tanner: Well, all I can say is good luck. And thanks for the offer, but I have to respectfully decline. 
    Flynn: Listen, I’m flying to New York for business in a couple of weeks. I plan on attending your auction for the girl you currently have trained. We can have a face to face chat then.
    Fuck! The problem with trafficking women is that many of the people I need to use to get them out of the country are connected to the very organization I’m trying to rid myself of. Sadly, to continue what I’m doing and not land behind bars, I have to at least keep a civil relationship with them.
    Tanner: Can’t wait.

    How I managed to fall to sleep with my body contorted in the way Tanner had me was beyond me, but somehow I managed. However, it was Tanner’s voice that pulled me from my nap. “Wakey wakey, beautiful.”
    “I – What?” I peered up between my legs to see him staring down at me as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
    “Next time I have to do this to you in order to get what I want, I will take a picture and then mail that picture to your father and everyone else in your father’s church. Is that what you want?”
    My red and swollen eyes widened in horror at the thought of my parents seeing such a picture. That would be bad enough, but for everyone in the church to see it… I fought not to burst into tears again, though I wasn’t sure if I had any tears left to cry, to be honest. “No, Master.”
    “Any questions?”
    I attempted to shift my position and a sharp pain raced up my leg and I winced. “No, but my legs hurt, Master.”
    “And if I release you, will you do as I ask?”
    I closed my eyes and took a deep breath in, slowly releasing it. I nodded. “Yes, Sir.”
    “Good. Now we’re getting somewhere.” Leaning over me, Tanner untied my cuffed legs. As I began to lower my legs flat to the mattress, another sharp pain raced up and down them and
