The Bid

Chapter Eight

~Myles~

Just the sight of her in that dress had both me and Finn on edge. The way my cock twitched, I was glad to have my laptop sitting on my lap when she walked out.

The past few weeks I've tried to ignore her and keep my distance but she has such an alluring presence, it's been difficult.

Now I'm sat here while Finn gets to enjoy her in the dressing room. I knew he couldn't hold back much longer since he's been into her since she arrived.

I can hear her though the door, they aren't exactly discreet. If we didn't own this boutique I'm sure we'd be getting kicked out right about now.

Fuck she sounds way too good and my imagination is going wild with how she probably looks right now. Her pillowy breasts and body, all her curves...she's too bloody perfect.

I watch as Finn finally exits the dressing room and I'm back to being indifferent.

"Enjoy yourself?" I sigh, typing some numbers into my spreadsheet.

"Oh fuck she's something else...I couldn't hold back." He smirks and leans back in the chair.

"You're too horny for your own good. Sebastian is going to knock your head in."

"He's not here, what's he gonna do? He didn't say not to. He only said no harm can come to her and to keep her safe."

I can see it in his eyes that he's hooked. He's always been the one to easily fall head first into things, hasn't changed even now. Sebastian is going to be pissed off once he finds out and I'm not going to tell him either, this is Finn's problem.

"You saw her in the dress, Myles. She's gorgeous, how could I not?"

"Just pipe down and put your dick away." I pin him with a glare before closing my laptop and standing up. "Let's go get all those clothes in bags so we can go to the next place."

We both make our way over to the counter but not before Finn can pile on as much lingerie and slinky pajamas as possible.

"Just get all this squared away, have the bags taken out to the vehicle parked out front." I tell the meek woman behind the counter.

Ash approaches behind me and tosses the black dress onto the counter and I have to suck in a deep breath or else I'm going to be tenting my trousers soon.

"The shop next door is for shoes. Get whatever you want, Finn and I will just be upstairs for a moment while you have a look." I tell her, hoping she understands what business I'm hinting at.

Of course she should since she grew up in this life but something tells me she was never fully exposed to the way we do things or live.

Lately she's been asking questions about the work I do on my laptop late at night which of course has Sebastian on edge. Since she arrived he's instructed us to find out if she has ulterior motives under the instruction of her father.

Fortunately I don't think she does. Either that or she's playing us completely and we are falling for it hook, line and sinker.

She just seems too innocent sometimes and when I try to explain my work she's completely clueless while she just smiles at me like she understands. Not exactly the behavior of an evil mastermind trying to steal or sabotage our dealings.

Once we are next door, I motion for Finn to follow upstairs so we can collect the money like we are meant to do. He pauses, locking the front doors so no one goes in or out before following behind me.

Ash should be safe while we conduct our usual dealings so I'm not too worried. Finn seems to be more concerned about it than I am though as he's watching the cctv the entire time I'm discussing money with the shop owners.

"Look, we agreed on a time and amount. If you can't provide then we will confiscate this place and—"

"No, no! Mr. Sharpe, I have it. I'll give it to you, for your protection."

"Good. You're very aware that we already own the shop next door, don't let your shop be next." I give him a glare as he opens a large safe.

It's only about ten minutes that we spend counting the cash and making sure it's all there. Once it's done and sealed in the bag, I hand it to Finn and we are on our way.

I've always disliked this part of what we do, my preference to just be in my office crunching numbers or even buried in a book but it is what it is.

"Found anything, love?" Finn squeezes her ass as we approach. The way it bounces makes me regret looking.

"Yeah I've actually found way too many options, I don't know what to pick." She bites her lip and I have to stifle a groan.

"Just get it all." I relent and wave Finn off to take care of it before I walk out and go to my bike.

I have to get away from here or else, like Finn, I'm going to do something too.

I secure my bag and slip the helmet on my head, straddling the bike. I shoot a quick text to Finn, letting him know I'm going back to the house and to get her anything else she wants.

As the text sends, I get another but this one is in the group chat from Sebastian. Fuck what does he want now? Probably nothing good.

Once on the road it's about thirty minutes until I'll be back. Just enough time to hopefully clear my head.
