Something she was really hoping for right now. “That’s a little insane.”
    Lizzy shrugged. “If I don’t let the energy out, I go insane.”
    “Fair enough… Can I ask you a favor that you can’t tell your husband about?”
    Lizzy’s expression turned serious. “Depends on the favor.”
    “It’s not work related. I just…need to know where someone is right now. I need to talk to him and it has to be in person.”
    Lizzy frowned, absently pushing back a loose strand of her long, dark hair. “Why not call this person?”
    She could. Heck, she probably should. But no, this needed to be an in-person conversation. Dominique needed to see Ivanov’s face, gauge his reaction. “It’s…personal.” Dominique was friends with Lizzy but she never forgot that Lizzy was also her boss’s wife. Shaking her head, she stood. “I know I’m putting you in a weird position and that I’m asking you to invade someone’s privacy. Can we just forget I asked—”
    “Who do you want to track down?”
    She shifted from foot to foot, debating if she should just leave, but she really wanted to know where he was. And to talk to him right freaking now. “Viktor Ivanov.”
    Lizzy blinked in surprise. “Is this about Raegan?”
    “Not remotely. Nothing to do with her, the club, or work. It’s very personal. This is his number.” She held out a sticky note she’d scribbled the number on earlier.
    Lizzy gave her a mischievous grin. “Personal, huh?” She pulled her computer back into her lap and her fingers started flying over the keyboard at an alarming pace.
    Dominique wanted to correct her, to tell her not personal in the way she implied, but held her tongue as Lizzy worked. When she started to move around to see what her friend was doing, Lizzy shook her head.
    “Uh-uh. Just sit down while I work. Plausible deniability, my friend. If you don’t see what I’m doing, you can’t admit to any wrongdoing.” She didn’t glance up once as she said it, her expression almost gleeful.
    “Are you breaking the law?” It was a dumb question. Of course Lizzy was. Dominique had heard the rumors, knew that Lizzy could pretty much hack anything. It was the whole reason she’d come to see her.
    Lizzy just snorted then grinned. “He’s at one of his hotels.” She rattled off the name and address, but Dominique already knew where it was.
    She’d lived in Miami her whole life and knew the city well. “Thank you.”
    Lizzy didn’t look up, just typed in a few more commands. “Looks as if he’s currently in the ground-floor restaurant. East side. Well, his personal cell phone is. I’m assuming it’s with him.”
    Dominique blinked. “You’re terrifying.”
    “Thanks,” Lizzy said, looking up. “Are you in trouble?”
    “No.” She felt like a mess though. “It’s just personal. I promise.”
    Lizzy slid her computer to the side and stood. “What I know about Ivanov isn’t much, but I’ve heard enough that he’s a dangerous man.”
    She nodded. “I know.”
    “Be careful.”
    “Thanks. I will. If, uh, he leaves, will you call me? I’m headed over there right now.”
    “I’ll keep an eye on his phone and let you know. Do you need an escort or anything?”
    She shook her head. She didn’t need an audience for this, didn’t want anyone to know her personal business. None of her friends from work knew what had happened to her parents—or if they did they’d never brought it up—and she planned to keep it that way. She didn’t want pitying looks. “If you need to tell Porter about this, it’s okay.”
    Lizzy just nodded, which wasn’t really an answer whether she was going to tell her husband or not. Dominique didn’t really care though. She needed to talk to Viktor Ivanov right now and ask him why the hell he’d sent her a contract signing over the rights to her childhood home. He supposedly just wanted to give it to her.
    For free.
    There had to be a catch. Even if there wasn’t, she sure as hell
