Oh, I’m going to beat his ass. Joann moves her slow ass beside him and tries the same move. I don’t give her time to catch it. I pounce and swing. Gio blocks the hit, protecting her.

I growl and spin away. Joann gains some balls and steps around Gio to come for me again. Jace holds out his staff to block her, doing an aerial flip over the staff to place his body between us.

“Jace, no. Let them fight.”

“If Ny gets hit, I’m fucking you up,” Jace bites out.

Gio pulls a bitter face. I give a smug smile. I don’t need Jace’s protection but the pissed look on Gio’s face is priceless. I spin around Jace and swing for Gio.

“Ah,” I yell as I swing.

He blocks the hit and glares at me. In a split second, I spin to hit Joann as she tries to sneak up on me. Jace blocks her, shoving her away with his staff like an annoying fly.

Gio turns his attention to attacking me. I block him as he backs me across the gym. By the time Jace takes a blow across the back to shield me, I’m center gym. My chest is heaving and I’m fuming.

Jace and Gio go at it while I try to catch my breath. Out of the corner of my eye, I notice Ming nod at Kamiko and Alyona. The three grab staffs and run at me.

I take a stance in confusion, but ready for them. Jace and Gio side flip across each other and cross staffs to shield me. I dip under their staffs and charge at Ming, backing her off. I have my weapon at her throat.

She drops hers and her arms at her sides. I look over my shoulder and see Gio and Jace have Kamiko and Alyona in the same posture.

“This…this is who they are,” Ming says. “You don’t come between that. That’s not what we’re here for. What Essence did was wrong. I will deal with her when she returns. We’re here to serve them. They have given us all something we can never repay. I’ll only say this once. Respect Master Ny or die.”

I nod at Ming and drop my staff to the floor. Gio comes up behind me and wraps his sweaty arm around my head, tugs it back, and kisses my lips.

He drags his lips against my skin, moving to my ear. I fight against melting into him. This isn’t over.

“I couldn’t come to you to explain. I needed her to do what she did. She wasn’t disrespecting you and you know I love you too much to ever cheat.

“This is the first moment I’ve had to come to you, but I shouldn’t have had to. You should trust me,” he breathes in my ear.

I tug away from him. “Where is she, Gio? That’s the only thing you need to talk to me about,” I growl and sashay my ass away. “And the more you protect them against me, the bigger the problem we have.”

“Nyla,” he barks.

I toss my middle finger up. That bitch was seconds away from pulling his dick out. I’m sure if I had video, I’d have proof she did. That man has me fucked up.

CHAPTER 38

Said What I Said

Gio

Why did I have to fall in love with a woman who’s so stubborn? I probably shouldn’t have tried to help Joann, but the point is for them to learn. She’s too slow to take Ny and she wasn’t following the rhythm.

Nyla is a beast at what she does. Joann didn’t stand a chance with or without me. I only backed Ny down the way I did because she was angry. If she wasn’t in her emotions, we would have had a real fight, not a backdown.

However, I can’t leave shit the way it is. This has gone on long enough as it is. Jace and I aren’t talking now, and Ny is stewing while still ignoring my calls. Enough.

That’s why I drove myself out to Tuxedo to settle things between us. I enter the house and the place is dark. I remove my suit jacket and strip down out of my clothes. By the time I’m outside the bedroom, I only have on my watch and the Cuban link bracelet I wear on my right wrist.

I walk naked into the bedroom to have a gun pointed in my face. Nyla stands in her panties and bra, staring down the gun at me. I frown and knock the barrel out of my face.

“Put that shit away.”

“Get out and lock the door behind you,” she says as she puts the safety on and climbs onto the bed to place the gun back behind the headboard.

“We’re done with this.”

“Get out, Gio.”

“I said what I said, Nyla. This is over.”

I climb on the bed behind her, grabbing her by the throat as I turn and sit on my knees with my back against the headboard. I pull her against my chest and reach for her pussy with my free hand, pushing her panties aside.
