Cooper didn't mean to fall asleep cuddling his new prize, but he was startled awake hours later when Sam had come to discuss some unfinished business. Swearing and stretching as he sat up, Cooper briefly forgot about the sleeping woman beside him and called for Sam to enter the room. Patiently waiting in bed while Sam used his key to unlock the door from the outside.

"Hey Cooper, sorry for interrupting your .... Wait, are you spooning?" It was unusual for anyone to see Cooper doing anything remotely romantic, let alone spooning in his own bed.

"Shut up, Sammy." With no trace of anger in his words, it was obvious to Sam that Cooper was relaxed and happy, probably from some mind-blowing sex with the poor girl lying in the bed.

"Whatever, I'm going back downstairs, get dressed and come meet me in your office." With a chuckle Sam left.

Cooper doesn't let anyone tell him what to do, but when he's in a good mood Sam can pretty much get away with anything. Deciding that he was too hungry to stay in bed any longer anyway, Cooper got up out of bed and began to redress himself, sneaking small glances towards Natalie. She had woken up when he called for Sam to open the door, and now was sitting up watching Cooper silently move around the room.

"I have a meeting downstairs. If you get out of this bed for any reason other than to use the bathroom you will be sorry. Do you understand me?" When he was fully dressed Cooper stopped at the foot of the bed and levelled Natalie with a stare that made chills run down her spine. "Tell me that you understand."

"I understand." Natalie was afraid to argue, her pervious punishment making it hard for her sit on her bottom without constant shifting and wincing.

"I'll have your supper brought up. If you're a good girl and stay put then I have a surprise for you, if not I'll spank your ass raw and believe me when I say I'll enjoy every second of it." He started to get a slight erection to the mental picture so he quickly turned to leave, having no time to fuck her right now.

"Can... can I get my clothes?" Natalie asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Clearly she didn't want to keep Cooper in the room for any longer than she had to.

"No." Cooper replied after only a second of thought.

Cooper was incredibly territorial and admittedly jealous, he didn't want anyone to see his innocent little Natalie's perfect naked body, but this was part of her punishment. He knew that she would be mortified to be denied clothes in a house full of big scary men that could come into the room at any moment, Cooper would never allow anyone to touch her but of course she didn't know that yet.

The news of her prolonged nudity was upsetting and Cooper was pleased see a fresh set of tears form in her eyes but was surprised to not hear a complaint or cry. Deciding that the conversation was over he left the bedroom and closed the door behind him.

Out in the hallway he sent a text to Darren telling him to bring supper for Natalie and stand guard outside the door. Cooper was confident that Natalie wouldn't disobey him this time, but even if she did manage to escape the house she would not be able to get passed the new security guard at the front gate.

Cooper was satisfied that Natalie would be taken care of while he was gone and left in search of a quick bite to eat. He went downstairs to the kitchen hoping to find leftovers of the meal he had made with Natalie less than a full 24 hours ago. It felt like years ago.

"Thought you were going to my office?" Cooper was somewhat startled when he walked into his kitchen to find Sam sitting at the counter with an untouched plate of food and a bottle of beer in front of him.

"Right, cause I don't know you. I don't know that you're like a starving dog after you fuck." As Sam spoke he pushed the food and beer across the counter towards his brother.

"Fine little brother, you got me. I was coming to eat before I got back to business. So what was so important you had to interrupt the best post sex nap I have ever taken?" Cooper picked up the offered food and turned to leave the room, not stopping talking, knowing Sam would follow.

The men walked quickly to Coopers home office, leaving all jokes and banter at the door. The office was a place for serious issues, and if Sam wanted to talk business in here then it was more important than the usual day to day job.

"Okay. Whats up?"

"I just wanted to go over the new security details you had put in place for your house." Sam was trying to speak as casual as he could, knowing Cooper wouldn't want to be reminded of Natalie's earlier escape made this a dangerous conversation.

"I told you what I wanted. Two guards at the gate, more cameras out back, and a tracker for Natalie. It's not that hard to understand. That can't be all you wanted to talk about, what is it?" Cooper was still on a high from his sex session and was trying to not let his impatience come out.

Sam nervously sat down across from Coopers desk. He hated being the barer of bad news when it came to his big brother, he would much rather throw someone under the bus to do it.

"I got a call yesterday..."

"God Dammit. Spit it out, Sam. I don't have time for this!" Coopers patience was gone. He missed the warmth he felt minutes ago in bed with Natalie.

"The deal fell through in Florida. You have to set up a meeting and go down there before the Kings find out and try to get there first." Sam all but whispered.

"WHAT?!" Cooper was livid. He had worked for the past year to get this deal set up, he had been assured multiple times that everything was going according to plan and now he finds out that his business partners have backed out at the last minute.

"They said they want a better price. They don't want to pay full from someone they haven't done business with before."

"They have done business with us, Dad worked with them for years. I know what this is about! They think they can squeeze me for more money like I'm some gullible child." Fuming, the dangerous man stood from his desk and began to pace back and forth across the room. "I am going to go down there and show them who they're dealing with. Call and set a meeting for tomorrow."

"Okay." The younger brother sat quietly in hopes that he will get out of the room unharmed.

All thoughts of going back to his room and taking Natalie again were thrown from his mind. This news was unacceptable. Cooper has been in charge of the Devils for years, he thought his days of proving himself were over. Apparently someone didn't get the message. He would go to Florida and show everyone why you don't mess with Cooper Grant.

The deal was supposed to take place next week. The Devils were set to sell a lot of weapons and drugs to some buyers in Florida. This particular sale was extremely important. The Devils don't have a far reach on the East Coast, and this was their in. Now Cooper had to go and make sure the sale was completed before the Kings up in New York find out and steal the deal out from under him.

"I want the jet ready to go for 10:00PM. Bring me the new cellphone and tracker upstairs when you have it." Without another word Cooper walked out of the office, the food and beer forgotten on the desk in front of him. He quickly ran up to his room, taking the stairs two at a time.

Sam let out a long breath. He stood cleaning the lunch mess and rushed to get the things his brother had asked for, knowing what happens when you make Cooper wait.
