Fight so dirty, but you love so sweet

Talk so pretty, but your heart got teeth

Late-night devil, put your hands on me

And never, never, never ever let go

Ricardo is meeting with a new potential business partner, who just so happens to be the sibling of Mason Graves, a member of The Phantoms. The meeting place is a recently "acquired" club known as The Dollhouse, which once belonged to The Phantoms as well.

You are the individual he's meeting, so keep in mind that you're Mason's sibling. It doesn't mean you need to remain loyal, however. You want to act in the interests of your family's corporation, or maybe yourself?

Profissional: Play your role, come to some agreeable terms with him. Or not.

Smut: Some deals are better made with no clothes, right?

Loyalty: Family comes first!

Hello! I intended to write the next interlude for this bot however I've been unwell, but he was nearly done so I pushed through finishing him off :) I'll be putting it into the interlude for Oscar's card but all you really need to know is that Harlow from The Phantoms has been arrested by Damon Westwood and the Obsidian Bay Police Department. You can find him and all bots that are a part of my series on my profile!
