"I didn't," she said. "Vikram arranged it. You told me to
ask him...
I wracked my brain, going back over the conversation I
had with my sister, and remembered saying something
about Vikram arranging it. I'd meant access to the
apartment, but now that I thought about it, Erin and
Helen had been fooling around while I was on the
phone with Emily, and I might have missed some of
what she had been saying. This was on me.
I shook my head and said, "Hey, you know what? I'm
glad you're here. This is going to be great."
Emily didn't look convinced. "Are you sure? I feel really
bad! I'm going to ruin your trip!"
"Absolutely not! Chloe," said, turning to my bodyguard,
"If my sister tries to leave the plane, shoot her."
That got a rare chuckle out of the ex-CIA agent. "No
problem, Mr. Upton," she said as she moved past me
toward the back of the plane.
"Really?" Emily said, joy replacing some of her distress.
"Of course!"
"Oh good!" Erin exclaimed, circling me to hug Emily.
"Girl, this is going to be so much fun! Here... come with
me. I want to talk to you real quick and then I've got a
surprise for you."
She grabbed Emily by the hand and dragged her out of
her chair.
"Um... okay," Emily said with a laugh. She paused
beside me and gave me a peck on the cheek. Thanks,
M. I'm grateful for letting me tag along. She glanced at
Natashya and back at me. "Have fun!" Then she
disappeared.
I plopped down in Emily's seat, placed a hand over my
eyes and let out a long sigh. This was perfect. The only
thing that made me okay with bringing Ashley to Las
Vegas was Erin's assurance that Natashya would be
completely happy with the arrangement. Erin even
suggested getting Natashya to help. However, Emily
being here complicated things even further.
I'd wanted to get away and spend the week with two
of the most beautiful women in my life. Doing that with
Ashlee around was going to be hard enough, but the
last thing I wanted was to have my sister catch me
slutting around with a small harem. I wanted to keep
that part of my life separate from my family. Now that
I thought about it, letting her use my apartment while
Bobbi was there wasn't the best idea. Still... this was
going to be a balancing act that would turn this entire
trip into a stressful eighties rom- com.
"Something the matter?" Natashya asked.
"You could say that," I said as looked up at her from
between my fingers. I dropped my hand and gave her
a weak smile.
Natashya looked at me with concern. "Don't you like
your sister? She seems sweet."
"Oh, she is," said. "It's just a little weird bringing her
along, considering what this is."
"And what is this?" Natashya asked, teasing me with a
coy smile.
"You know exactly what this is," I said, giving her a
faux- threatening look.
"Nights out on the town with a beautiful woman on
each arm? Dancing, drinks, gambling, and filthy
threesomes after we're all tired of the nightlife?"
"Something like that," I said. "Unfortunately, there's a
complication."
I spent the next few minutes explaining the situation
with Ashlee. I told her about Cartwright confronting me
in the restroom of the Strange Mudd, and how Ashlee
had been caught meeting with him the day I had been
robbed. Natashya started off listening while reclining in
her seat, but by the time I had finished, she was
leaning forward with disbelief painted all over her face.
"And you invited Ashlee along because you want to use
your wiles to get information out of her," she said,
guessing where' I was going with this. She was a smart
girl.
I nodded. "That's basically it."
She glanced out the window and asked, "What does
she look like?"
"It's strange, "I said. "She's actually hot, but she also has
this cute girl-next-door thing going, and the way she
talks... she has a princess complex."
"Does she have brown hair and light skin?"
"Yeah," I said.
Natashya looked back at me. "Then she's outside
watching a man get her bags out of a car right now."
"Shit! She's here?" I said.
I should make myself scarce," Natashya said, standing
up. "If she's as jealous as you say, she may not like
seeing me as soon as she walks on the plane."
"Fuck," I said, standing up with her, "I'm sorry Natashya.
I didn't mean-"
Natashya placed a finger on my lips, cutting me off. She
Immediately followed it up by leaning into me to give
me a quick kiss.
"No need for an apology," she said with a bright smile.
"Playing spy with you will be fun. But... I don't come
cheap. She reached down and caressed my cock
through my pants. "Just because your little princess and
sister are on this trip doesn't mean you're excused from
putting this in me."
"Believe me," I said, "the first chance I get."
"Good. Now, I'm going to go before she catches me.
You should meet her at the door."
Natasha and I parted ways and I headed back to the
plane entrance just in time to catch Ashlee as she
ascended the stairs. Despite my reservations about
Ashlee, she looked magnificent in a short cream skirt
and matching loose blouse that hung gracefully off her
shoulders. Her dark brown hair was layered and
blowing in the gentle breeze as she ascended the stairs.
She looked up as she reached the last few and her
green eyes immediately found mine, and her face lit up.
"Marcus!" she squealed and threw her coat down on the
floor next to me as she threw herself at me, wrapping
her arms around my neck and plastering her body on
mine. I stumbled back a couple of steps then caught
myself, wrapping my arms around her and giving her a
tight hug. Over my shoulder I saw Chloe step past the
newcomer and back into the room, smirking at me as
we exchanged looks. I was starting to get a little
annoyed at how amused Chloe was at everything
happening to me. I know a lot of it was my own doing
but goddamn... as much as I paid her, you would think
she would show a little more discretion in the looks she
threw me.
