Chapter 226
I sit watching Calix, the guy at my feet begging me with his eyes. The woman standing by the door waiting to see what he does. I look back at Marc and D.
“Stay put, or neither of you will ever get to fuck me again, okay?” I glare at them watching as they nod. Standing, I put my hand against Cal, getting his attention..
“Let go of him.” My words are quiet, and he looks between me and the guy clearly debating it. “Please, we have some business to do remember?” I look at him and watch as he takes his foot off the guy before stepping back.
The guy goes to move, but I kick him back down, his eyes widening. Leaning down I get into his face.
“Even if they fuck all the men in here, that doesn’t give you the right to call the women whores! They do a job, just like you do. Give them. some damn respect, or next time I won’t stop him, I will cheer him on.” I watch as he nods crying. “Everyone can see, the same thing you hate about these women you fucking love. While thinking I was a ‘whore‘ you were undressing me with your eyes. So watch your mouth.” I stand up and straighten, Cal stares at me wide–eyed, his mouth agape.
“Fuck little bird, wow.” D walks to the back of me, wrapping his arm around my body. Seeing you then made me so fucking hard.” I chuckle slightly. My eyes meeting Cal’s, I could see he wasn’t just doing it over me, but the women here as well.
“Shall we go see her?” I look at Cal and he nods, we follow him

through, and getting into the office, I sit between Mare and D.
“Every time you come, Cal, one of my men gets hurt.” She looks at
him.
“Rose…” He sighs and I stand up, walking to him. My hand settles on
his shoulder.
“Then maybe Rose, you need to pay more attention to the men you recruit. A business like this is only wonderful if the dancers feel safe and understood. Your own workers calling them whores, sure isn’t the sort of place women would feel compelled to work at, or visit, is it?” I look at her, waiting. Cal’s arm wraps around me as he drags me onto
his knee.
I watch her swallow, her eyes looking between us.
“I…” My hand goes up, stopping her from talking.
“You care about your ladies I have no doubt about that Rose. However, if he made out I was a whore for purely sitting on a lap, I hate to think of what your ladies hear backstage. Even if they were selling their bodies, those working here should have the respect to keep their opinions to themselves.”
“I do care about them, some of those girls live here. I’m sorry, I guess when it comes to ensuring they are physically safe, I forget to check the men are not sexist pigs.” She smiles at me. “I’m guessing this visit wasn’t for fun, but business?” She asks, her eyes staying on me, I wait and no one else speaks, so I decide to.
“We want to ensure you realise the situation you were in before the Devils helped you. How you’re in debt to them.” She nods in agreement. “So if you or your ladies hear things, relating to them or myself, I’m sure you know to pass it on to us, instantly?”

“That is so,
however, typically my ladies are deaf if less the information. spoken is something we ask them to listen for.” She sits forward. “What sort of information? As I’m sure the men out there saying one of the Devil brothers chopped up a man wouldn’t be what you need?” She inquires and I smile.

“We need to know if anyone has spoken about making a move against them, or myself. Especially if the names are, Dean or Richard.” She
smiles like she knows.
“I can assure you, those two are not welcome here. However, some of Dean’s women do dance here from time to time, so I will ensure my ladies listen. If anything is said, I will report it straight to you.” The door suddenly opens and a dancer is standing there.
“That guy is back, he has Amy out back, refusing to accept no as the answer.” She looks at Rose worried. I watch as Rose stands, but as she does. Cal stands and sits me in the seat.
“We shall deal with it, considering I broke your man’s hand. Daisy can finish up here.” He smiles at me and walks out with D and Marc following.
“Look, I apologise for my men and their words. I can assure you that I will speak to them and make sure they realise their words and actions. are wrong. I can also reassure you Mrs. Devil, any news we get or hear, will be handed to you, without a fee.”
“Thank you.” Standing I shake her hand. “Now, I need to go make sure they are not killing a man.” She laughs and nods.
“Mrs Devil.” I stop at the door and look back at her. “We’ve all heard the stories of you, give him hell, Cal that is, he will push you away, so give him hell as that will make him cling on.” She smiles and I nod
walking out. Stepping around the back I see a door open.
As I step out I see Cal holding a man up by his hands. I roll my eyes. and watch, the guy is alive, with a bust lip and swollen eye, but alive.
“Say it again!” D speaks and pummels him in the stomach.
“No means no.” The guy chokes.
“Okay, and what is consent?” D hits him again, he grunts leaning forward, and Marc grips his hair pulling his head back.
“A woman not saying no.” The guy cries and D frowns hitting the man again.
“NO! Consent is her agreeing of sound mind, not drunk, not coerced, and not forced.” D hits him again and as bad as it is, it’s actually really fucking sweet.
“Fine. I get it.” The guy groans as Cal releases him and he falls to the floor.
“We will be listening as this isn’t the first time. If you forget what consent is again, you will lose your hands.” D growls at him, and it sends a warm feeling through my body. Hell, this was hot, really hot. I look at Amy I am guessing, she has Marc’s jacket wrapped around her shoulder as another woman holds her.

This might be a good read if it quits switching languages. It starts English then I believe maybe dutch then possibly Spanish so makes it hard to understand with not being able to read paragraphs at a time ....
