She was happy to get me away from that life, thinking I would never steal another car. That was a pipe dream. It’s ingrained in me.
I’ve been stealing cars since I was nine. That’s right, nine, with pigtails and Chucks on. Daddy was always so proud when I could pop a lock and hot-wire a car in record time.
I was faster than any of his boys. I was thirteen when I graduated to the high-end stuff. That’s when things got out of control. I love a piece of expensive heavy metal between my legs.
Too bad the last piece of metal I stole was worth more than just the sticker price with its inconspicuous cargo and lethal owner.
“Fuck it,” I mutter.
I look around and get ready to get to work. I’ll just spin the block and park it somewhere once I’m done. I don’t know anyone here to take it to a chop shop.
I pop the door open and go to climb in, but someone pushes the door closed from behind me. I go to turn to fight, but freeze when I come face to face with the last person I thought I would see here in Miami.
“They said you wouldn’t be able to resist. I had hoped they were wrong. Hello, Oni. Do you know who I am?”
“Y … yes,” I stutter. “You’re Rico Gallo.”
“Do you know how stupid I would look if you stole another of my cars filled with product? In fact, I’m starting to feel like a target. Are you targeting me, Oni?”
“No,” I say and swallow hard.
Shit, I didn’t even know he was in Miami. How was I supposed to know this was his car? I didn’t know the first time.
“Your uncle knows my father. He was trying to smooth things over for you. My interest was piqued when I found out who you were. I watched the surveillance tape of you stealing my truck a million times.
“You’re good. Really good. However, I don’t think you use this much,” he says and taps his fingers to my temple.
I close my eyes and groan. This was stupid and too good to be true. I should’ve known it was a test.
I open my eyes as he pushes my hoodie back from my head. He takes a sharp inhale of air as he looks down into my face. He stands quietly watching me for a few beats. I fidget with my sleeves, wondering if he plans to kill me.
“You’re … wow … not what I expected.”
“Were you expecting a boy?” I find my confidence and snarl.
“No, I knew you were a sixteen-year-old girl. That’s why you’re still breathing, sweetheart. I had no idea you were a gorgeous sixteen-year-old girl. That’s all.”
“What now?” I breathe.
“I have a proposition for you. Since I got the car and most of the product back in New York, I don’t see why I have to punish you. Your uncle also agreed to compensate me for my troubles as long as I don’t hurt you.”
“Proposition?”
“Yes, Oni. I want you to come work for my family for the summer. Your uncle has agreed. I will keep you out of jail and alive as long as you’re working for me. You will stay at my estate and do as I say, but you have to say yes now.”
“Yes,” I whisper.
“Good, get in. You’re driving.”
Rico
“You can make a left up here and jump on the highway,” I command as she drives.
This girl is fucking gorgeous. I wasn’t expecting her pretty face hidden beneath that hood. Those eyes, her lips, the deep, dark complexion of her skin.
I have to shift in my seat as I grow hard from her scent filling the Lambo. Her uncle knew she wouldn’t be able to resist stealing it. I set her up.
I had been intrigued by her from the moment she dared to steal the first car. The Trackhawk was filled with almost two million in coke. I’ll admit, she caught me slipping.
I had this chick in Brooklyn I’d been trying to take down for a few months. While I was up in my spare apartment pounding her out, this little thing was stealing my truck. She did that shit so fast I was impressed.
I wasn’t lying. I watched the video a million times in awe. She has skills.
“Why are you doing this?” she speaks up as we float down the road.
She’s an excellent driver as well. Not many people impress me, but Oni Raven is doing one hell of a job. I turn to stare at the side of her face.
“I see something in you.” I shrug. “It seemed like a waste to kill you. I have better uses for your talents. You’re smart on top of it all.”
“You sure about that? I have stolen from the mob twice now. I’m feeling all kinds of stupid at the moment.”
