Vance’s nostrils flared. He was breathing through his mouth now. "Safety for the kid? Isn't that enough?"
I laughed, a sharp, cold sound. I reached down and gripped his cock hard through the linen. "I said don't bullshit me. What's the offer?"
Vance groaned, his head hitting the stone wall with a dull thud. "Gold. Jewelry. Southern gold, unregistered. I have a chest in my quarters."
"How much?"
"Seventy thousand," he gasped, his hips jerking involuntarily against my hand. "In gold weight. You can cash it out the second you leave."
I did the metal math in a heartbeat. Seventy thousand. It was a joke. It wouldn't get me past the border checkpoints if Aldric decided to hunt me. It wouldn't buy a new life for my family.
"Not enough," I said, squeezing him until he winced. "One hundred and twenty thousand. In gold jewelry. Right now."
Vance’s face was a mottled, blotchy red. I could see the sweat beading on his forehead, catching the dim lights of the hall. The intense sensation was already wrecking his composure. He looked around the empty corridor, his eyes frantic.
"Fine," he wheezed. "One hundred and twenty. I have... I have more than I told the Alpha. It's in the chest."
I smiled. I didn't let go. I unbuckled the front of his trousers, the metal clink sounding like a starting bell in the quiet hall. I slipped my hand inside, my palm hitting his bare, hot dick. He was already slick with precum, his cock jumping in my grip. I started to stroke him, slow and punishingly tight, watching his eyes roll back into his head.
"Do you have the documents?" I asked.
He nodded jerkingly, his teeth gritted.
