“Why? Why? Pauly … Pauly … I’m so sorry. I’m so fucking sorry.”
“Save that shit. You should have thought of who you were double-crossing, asshole. I’ll take good care of your ma and sister, you fuck.”
With that, he pulls the trigger again. I jump and get ready to turn and run. I don’t make it a step before I hear my name called.
“Oni, get your ass in here.”
CHAPTER 4
Let’s Talk
Rico
This girl is digging her way deeper into my life. What I’m supposed to do is blow her brains out and let Mario dispose of her along with these two. However, I fuck up and do something I know is about to change both our lives forever.
“Oni, get your ass in here,” I growl.
I look toward the door where I know she’s been watching. I don’t know what made me off these two in front of her. What does it say about me that my dick got hard taking their lives in front of her?
I swallow hard when she steps into the shed dressed only in a T-shirt, her brown legs bare and her nipples straining against the thin shirt. Why do her legs look so silky?
Damn, I was right. She has a great pair of fat tits. This girl is killing me.
I might as well turn this gun on myself now. She’s going to be the death of me one day. I know it. She opens her mouth, and her words seal the deal.
“What do you need me to do? If my hands are dirty, I can’t snitch, right? Do I need to roll him up tight, or can the plastic be loose?” she says.
“Fuck outta here. I’m not allowing you to get involved in this. Especially not dressed like that. Why the fuck are you even out here?”
“I couldn’t sleep. I was going to sit by the pool for a bit, but then I saw the light on. Curiosity and the cat and all that shit,” she murmurs.
I laugh and shake my head. “You’re something else, you know that?”
“Seriously, do you have a painter’s suit or something in here?” she asks as she looks around the shed. “I can do my part. Or I can dig. You want me to go throw on some jeans and boots?”
I step over Jonny’s dead body and stalk over to her by the door, tucking my gun in the back of my pants as I go. She looks up at me with determination on her face. Reaching up, I run a finger along her hairline, down under her chin and pinch it between my fingertips.
“You think you’re going to be next because of what you’ve seen?” I breathe into her face.
“Well, that should be your next move. You don’t know me, and you owe me nothing. I’m a loose end. What’s stopping you from taking me out?”
I search her face. She’s mine, that’s what’s stopping me. I couldn’t let her go now even if I wanted to.
I wink at her. “You’re safe. I only kill the useless and disloyal. You, baby, intrigue me, and you’re far from useless. Mario, clean this shit up,” I call over my shoulder.
“Got it, boss. See you tomorrow.”
“See you later. Oh, and pay our friend a visit. Let him know he failed, then send him on a trip.”
“Already on it,” Mario says.
“Come on,” I say to Oni as I link my fingers with hers and tug her from the shed.
We make it up the path and back up the stairs. I need a shower and my bed. This has been a long-as-fuck-day. Fuck, it’s been a long-as-fuck-two weeks.
Everything since this little chick stole my truck begins to crash down on me. Killing her would solve a lot, but that’s no longer an option.
“So you couldn’t sleep?” I say as we step back into the house.
“No, not really. I have a lot on my mind.”
I chuckle. “Yeah, I bet. You want to come stay in my room? I’m going to shower and then we can talk until you pass out. I’ll even carry you back to your room once you’re asleep if you want.”
“I don’t know. Is that smart?”
“No, but our track record of smart shit hasn’t been so good since we’ve met. Come on. Like you said, I don’t know you. I want to change that.
“I know all the guys on my crew. I should know my new driver. You need my trust as much as I need yours,” I say as we climb the stairs.
“Shouldn’t I wait for you to finish your shower and then you can let me know and I’ll come over?”
I look down at her and smile as she chews on her lower lip. I want to be the one nibbling on that plump flesh. That thought alone should cause me to abandon this idea.
