I screamed and kicked against the hands that held me. “Baby! Baby! Stop! Stop! It’s me!” Nick said loudly above my screams. “What happened?!”
“Nick?!” I opened my eyes, the tears were streaming down my face and I was hysterical and hyperventilating.
“Calm down baby shhhh, it’s ok” he clasped me to his chest and rocked me as the car cruised down the street and away into the night.
“He said his boss wants me and he would shoot me if I moved” I was rambling between sobs.
“WHO??!!!” Nick shouted. He got so tense and pushed me away from him looking into my face.
My sobs got stronger at his anger. “Turn roun this bombo raasclaat!” He shouted to the driver, who stopped suddenly and made a u-turn in the middle of the road ignoring a loan car that was coming in the opposite direction’s screeching tyres.
“No! No! Please don’t go back! Mi nu wah go back Nick!” I clung to his shirt and buried my face into his chest soaking his shirt with my tears. I started shaking as a huge wave of anguish overcame me at what could have befallen me tonight. He sighed heavily into my hair and told the driver to keep driving.
“Nick my mom! I’m scared for my mom, I need to go get my mom!” I screamed as it dawned on me that whoever was after me could go after my mother.
“Ok we’ll go get her.” He said hugging me tighter. The driver didn’t need to be told he sped through the streets toward my community. Nick and his guys waited outside while I went inside to get my mother. She wasn’t asleep but Lincoln was already in bed. My heart was pounding as I packed some clothes for her and Lincoln and lifted Lincoln’s little body while I helped my mother outside of the house. My mother was more than concerned at the urgency of wanting them to leave in the middle of the night. I told her I would explain everything but we needed to leave soon. My mother gasped at the men holding guns outside but she didn’t say anything. Nick took Lincoln from my arms while I helped my mom into the SUV then I got in behind her. Nick gave me Lincoln’s sleeping body and took one last look around before he got in and we drove away.
Nick’s face was a mask of pure, though controlled rage. He held it in check, my mom was looking from me to Nick to the men in the front of the car. “Mommy this is Nicholas, my friend that I was telling you about.” I tried to calm my heart and my voice to make the necessary introductions. “Nick, this is my mom, Sarah and my brother Lincoln.”
He turned his body toward us and stretched across me to take my mom’s small hand in his. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Miss Sarah and I do apologize that we had to meet under such extenuating circumstances,” he said it with such calm I immediately became afraid. I knew what that calm meant.
“It’s ok. It’s nice to finally meet you, Nicholas. I can’t say I’m happy to be dragged from my home in the middle of the night but I’m sure Leah has a good reason.” She said looking at me.
“Mommy I’ll talk to you about it.”
“Miss Sarah a man tried to kill Leah tonight,” he said without batting an eye. My mother gasped.
“Leah mi tell you say me hate dem late night business ya enu! So weh Mark him did deh?! Mi think you say him meet you a night time!” My mother’s voice rose and Lincoln stirred.
I sighed and looked at Nick scathingly. “I was alone mommy.”
“So Nicholas why you neva de wid har?” He was taken aback by the question and it took him a second to respond.
“I caught up with her as soon as I could ma’am.” I thanked God silently that he didn’t tell my mom about the club and me running away from him.
“I’m happy you’re safe.” My mom said and kissed my cheek. “And thank you Nicholas.”
He nodded and started staring through the window. I knew he as angry. He was not just angry about what happened he was angry at me too.
We settled my mom and Lincoln in one of the guest bedrooms. I showered, pulled on a black t-shirt. I realized in my haste to get away from the house I didn’t grab any clothes for myself. I pulled on the jeans I was wearing with the T and laid with them until my mom fell asleep. She didn’t ask any more questions she just kept saying how happy she was that nothing happened to me. I didn’t want to talk about it anymore I just needed Nick to hold me and I needed to hold him.
I went in search of him down stairs. I heard low talking in the den. I didn’t want to disturb, but I just needed him. There were about 15 of the most vicious looking men dressed in black in the room with him. Some I recognized, some I’ve never seen before. He was in deep discussion, he didn’t hear me walk in but the man at the door cleared his throat and the men who were sitting stood up as I walked in and went directly to where he sat in the single leather sofa. He opened his arms and I walked into them. I climbed into his lap, curling myself into a ball with my head under his chin. He was drinking. He could smell Cool Water and whiskey. He lifted my chin and kissed my lips softly. I could hear the foot steps of the men as they left to give their boss privacy. He deepened the kiss taking all I was offering, which was basically all of me. This man has been saving my life since I met him, what would I do without him? I turned straddling his lap and sucking the whisky from his sexy lips. I know he was angry but I didn’t want to deal with his anger right now I just needed him.
His hand found their way under the t-shirt and he moaned when he found I wasn’t wearing any bra under the t-shirt. He swiftly lifted the T from my body and his mouth found one of my mounds sucking hungrily. I held his head in place as I threw my body back giving him better access to the turgid nipple. He lapped at the next biting at it intermittently. I moaned deep in my throat as the fire arrows fell directly to my clitoris sparking my fire.
“Either you are the bravest or the most foolish woman I’ve ever known. I don’t know whether to turn you over my knee and spank you or bow down and worship at your feet,” he growled against my lips. Yes, he was definitely still angry.
“Baby, I’m sorry,” I pleaded.
“No, I’m sorry! I put you and your family’s lives at risk. Your association with me alone makes you a target.” He confessed with his forehead against mine. “I want to stay away from you, but I can’t. You’re like the strongest kind of meth and I can’t get enough of you, but I have to protect you.” His words were cryptic making me feel like I was about to lose him.
“No, please don’t talk like this Nick! I promise I’ll do better! I’ll try to find some other job somehow, but I need you right now!” I pleaded sincerely my eyes brimming with unshed tears.
“Oh my sweet Leah, I wish it were that simple.” He claimed my mouth again and my anxiety was momentarily forgotten, it was only me and him in our bubble. I grabbed at his shirt and dragged it over his head wanting to feel the heat of his body against mine.
“Shhh don’t speak baby I want to feel you inside me. I don’t want to think about any of what happened today, please” I made this ernest plea as my hand went up and down his naked chest and back. I kissed his lips, his eyes, his nose, his cheeks, his neck; biting and sucking and leaving more red spots on his neck. He claimed my lips sucking at them and plunging his tongue deep into my mouth. I know my lips we’re going to be swollen from the vigor with which he was sucking at them.
“I want you” I whispered against his lips.
“I want to take you right here right now.”
“What’s stopping you?” I asked breathlessly.
At that he growled and stood with me wrapped around his body. I thought he was going to take us upstairs but he placed me on the single setee and in one quick move he removed my jeans. He spread my legs across the arm of the chair and his mouth devoured my pussy hungrily. He held my legs firmly apart I couldn’t wiggle or move I had to endure all the various sensations he incited. His tongue flicked my clitoris so fast l, I knew for sure he was a pussy magician. My body shuddered as the orgasm rocked it. I tried to muffle my screams being vaguely cognizant that we were not alone. Despite my overpowering orgasm I held his head in place I didn’t want the magic to stop and he gladly obliged lapping up my pussy juice as if he was in the land of milk and honey while I basked in the beauty of floating on the Milky Way. This man, my master puppeteer was the missing piece of my puzzle. He completed me.
His cock was straining against his pants and I needed to feel him inside me. “Please,” I begged.
“What do you want babygirl?” He asked.
“I want to feel you deep inside me,” I said grabbing his face and kissing him. I could taste myself mixed with him and whiskey on his lips, a heady combination. He hastily fumbled with his belt and zipper until he freed his massive cock and I smiled gazing at him under my eyes, remembering what he said about everytime I closed my eyes I should think about what his cocky did to me. I knew exactly what it could do and I needed it to do just that right now. He grabbed my legs and drew my bottom to the edge of the sofa where he could slide into me easily while on his knees.
“Fuuuuuuuck you feel so good” he breathed. “I can’t get enough of you. I don’t want to leave this pussy. It’s like my safe haven” he said moving slowly in and out of me. His movements were deliberately slow, driving me crazy.
“Nick fuck me please! Please!” I almost shouted pleading with him. “I’m not fragile. Mi need yu cocky fi touch mi fucking spleen!” I just needed to feel him. I wanted all of him. He spread my legs even wider and he started moving in and out. Long hard strokes that made me forget time and place screaming his name. He found my spot and he kept hitting it with his magic dick until I was spiraling out of control. His trusts were so deep I knew he was touching the head of my cervix.
When his thrust became shorter and faster I knew he was also lost in the tornado of sensations. He closed his eyes and groaned deep and loud. “Baby don’t stop please, I begged.” He felt so good I wanted the moment to go on and on like my everlasting cums. He thrust in and out, in and out; and on the last cloud at the top of the mountain he met me and we both fell into sweet oblivion. Yea, this man was mine, there was no more denying it.
He brought me up the stairs to the master bedroom and again he brought me over the moon and back to earth with his sweet lips and magic dick. I fell asleep on his chest when the first light of morning peeked through the bedroom curtains.
My eyes opened reluctantly. I was dreaming that Nick was making love to me in the most passionate way. Wait, that was real. He made love to me all night. Kissing me in places on my body unknown even to me. The room was fully alight and I was alone. I remembered my mom and Lincoln and got up to make sure they were ok. I didn’t have clothes, so again I had to rummage through his walk in closet, I thought. But when I got up at the edge of the king sized bed was a new pair of white shorts and an off the shoulder frilly pastel yellow blouse and matching loafers with a note. ‘Good morning baby, I hope these fit :) My top shotta left me a smiley face note. I smiled and headed to bathroom to shower quickly.
The clothes and shoes fit perfectly as expected. I’m going to assume he picked them out himself because he knew every contour of my body. I went to check the room for Lincoln and mom but they were not in there. It was way past noon. Can’t believe I slept so late. The dinning room was empty, the den was empty but I heard talking toward the back of the house. They were on a huge back porch that overlooked a massive backyard. My mom sat talking to the housekeeper and Lincoln was playing in the grass, while two men in the customary black stood nearby.
“Hi mommy” I greeted her kissing her cheek. Then I said good morning to the housekeeper, whose name I learned was Claudia. I walked in the grass to Lincoln and kissed his head. As usual he was in his own world. As long as he and my mom were happy, I was ok.
“Are you hungry Miss Leah?” Claudia asked me. I was, but I was more concerned about where Nick was.
No sooner had the thought crossed my mind that he came up behind me his scent assailed my nostrils first. I turned around and I was looking into cool grey eyes. He didn’t look as happy to see me as I felt to see him. Only two men were with him. I wondered briefly where he was.
“I see the clothes fit.” Was all he said, looking at my body.
“Yes, thank you.” I didn’t know what was happening but he seemed a bit distant and it made me a little scared. The things he said to me yesterday came rushing back and I wanted to cry. I couldn’t take care of my family without a job and I know the dancing was definitely out of the question now.
“We need to talk.” He said seriously. I guess Neeko was back and I had lost Nick because of my stupidity.
“Sure,” I murmured. Unexpectedly he held my hand and lead me away with a quick ‘excuse me’ to my mother and Claudia. He lead me to an office. He has an office. Why did that surprise me? There was a huge oak desk and several framed certificates hung from the wall. Who was this walking talking contradiction?
“Leah…” he began as soon as he closed the office door.
“What’s going on Nick?” He was scaring me.
He sighed heavily.
Was that a Columbia University MBA on the wall? My eyes widened a little. Who the fuck was this man?! My mind was racing all over the place. Why did he want to talk? Did he want us to leave?
“Nick, if you want us to leave, we can go right a way…” I started but he cut me off with a serious look.
He held my hands and put his forehead against mine. “I don’t want you working any more. You need to concentrate on school and I did some research and found that you’re going to have clinicals starting at the hospital in another two weeks. I don’t see how you can work and do all that.”
“I thought about that but I haven’t come up with anything yet. I now know that the dancing is out...”
“I don’t want you dancing or working at all. When I look at your family, I know you love them but I also know that school is most important for you right now. You need to focus.”
“Nick I’ll need to find another job, my family has to eat…”
“What kind of man do you take me for Lee?” He asked this calmly staring into my eyes. His calm frightened me sometimes. He walked around his desk and pulled out his drawer and took out a small box. He looked a little unsure wen he held my hand and placed it in my palm.
“Open it,” he commanded.
I slowly lifted the sturdy lid of the blue grey box. There was a remote car key inside with the BMW sign engraved in silver. I lifted my eyes to his, he looked a little unsure. I guess he didn’t know what my reaction would be.
“It’s a car key,” I stated the obvious.
“Leah, I don’t want you taking public transportation anymore and I won’t be available to take you everywhere all the time. You will also be escorted wherever you go. If you prefer to have them drive you, that’s also fine.” He said quickly almost rambling, waiting for a reaction out of me.
“Nick a BMW, though? Isn’t this a bit over the top?” What’s wrong with an ordinary Toyota or a Nissan?” I asked placing the box back on his desk.
“Baby, in case you haven’t noticed, I don’t do ordinary. Plus there is nothing too good for my girl.” He kissed my forehead and I hugged his waist drawing him closer to me. ‘My girl’. Those words sent a small fire shooting through my body. This man... I could feel some of the tension leaving him. He was preparing for a full on fight. When he didn’t get one he started to relax. His arms enveloped me and I snuggled into his body. He made me feel safe in his arms and untouchable.
“I took the liberty of having some things brought over from one of my clothing stores. I just thought you wouldn’t want to leave the house today after what happened last night...”
I cut him off, “Wait you bought me clothes too? And underwear???!!!” I asked incredulously. “And you have clothing stores?!” Who is this man?!
“Really? You’re concerned that I bought you underwear? Who’s been taking them off? In fact I can’t guarantee pulling them off all the times, some days I may rip them off,” he said with a sly smile. “So look at it as me replacing them in advance. And yes, I do own several clothing stores among other businesses.”
I rolled my eyes ignoring my body’s cheering reaction. My hormones were literally doing back flips and splits. I loved touching him and I loved it when he touched me. He kissed my hair.
“There’s one more thing, I want you to destroy the cellphone you have , I changed your number and got you a new one.” He said it simply. I stiffened.
“Nick you can’t just come in and change everything! That’s my contact for school and everything! You’ve taken over everything!”My voice raised a bit as I pushed away from him.
“Your life is in fucking danger! Mi wi change your bloodclaat features if I have to to keep you safe! Understand that!”
“People contact me on that number!”
“Who’s people? Yu pussyhole ediat boyfriend?!” He was shouting and the tension was back. “Or you have some customers after all?” His eyes became steely grey shards as he flung that insult at me.
“Customers Neeko?! Fucking customers?!” My face flamed with embarrassment.
“You may not have been fucking them but you sure give a hell of a lap dance and I won’t mention how skillful you are with your mouth!” He threw that insult and the blow landed across my face, he may as well have slapped me across my face because the sting caused tears to instantly spring to my eyes.
“Wow! You are a mother...”
“A motherfucker. Yes, I know. I’m always the motherfucker when it comes to your precious boyfriend.” There was the calm again. I hated it. I preferred him shouting and raising the roof.
“Let me make something absolutely clear to you, if he comes anywhere near you, or I find that he is contacting you in any way, I will make you watch me gut him bloodclaat like a rassclaat gutter fish. Just try me Leah.” Dark eyes met steely grey eyes. I knew he was seething. Was he jealous of Mark?
“Are you jealous?!” I almost shouted in the closed space of the office not caring that men were outside.
He stood towering over me his hands balling in fists at his side. I briefly wondered if he would hit me but I somehow knew he wouldn’t.
“Since the moment I met you, Leah Williams, I’ve been learning what it is to be patient. Yes, I’m jealous. I’m jealous of every single man that has had an opportunity to touch you in any way and I would like nothing more than to kill them all. But as fi di pussyhole you call yu man mi nu trust him and mi well wah hoist him up inna di air wid mi AK. As long as him keep him distance, he’s safe.” Omg his calm was frightening, but I realized in that moment that he was genuinely concerned for my safety. I’ve had too many close calls in such a short time for comfort, even I could admit that. I reached my hand up and touched the side of his face unsure, afraid he would recoil but he didn’t. He pushed his face into my hand rubbing his stubbled jaw into my palm closing his eyes. Was I the only one who could tame this lion? He turned his head and kissed my palm. Something so simple, yet so erotic.
“You’re the only man I want touching me. Anytime you want, anywhere you want, whenever you want.” I tipped up and kissed his lips softly, testing the waters. I know he was still furious; but before I could move away his mouth moved over mine taking my lips and nipping at them with his teeth.
“I can’t keep my hands off you, believe me I’ve tried, but it’s no use.” He said seriously against my lips.
“And I don’t want you to” I wrapped my arms around his neck drinking in his lips as he deepened the kiss. His lips trailed down to my neck biting and sucking. He lifted me and placed on top of his desk to sit forcing my legs to widen as he lodged his body between them.
My hands glided under his T-shirt running all over the tendons of his toned upper body.
“Unless you want me to take you across this desk, stop touching me like that.”
“Right now I don’t give a fuck where you want to fuck me as long as you make me cum over and over again” I emphasized each ‘over’ with a kiss proving how much I wanted him to make me cum. His fingers worked on the clasp of my shorts and he dragged my under wear and shorts down my legs. His large hand cupped my soaked pussy and he groaned with pleasure at how wet I was. His middle finger slipped inside while his thumb circled my throbbing clit. My fingers found his belt and fumbled clumsily to open it.
He gripped both my legs and pulled my bottom down to the edge of the desk and swiftly slammed into me. He swallowed the loud moan that was going to come from my lips when his mouth captured mine keeping it occupied. I couldn’t scream as much as I wanted to. His strokes were strong, short and fast. My legs were spread so far apart,were I not accustomed to the pole, I would have a hard time keeping them in that position. He lifted one of my legs, baring his tongue, he licked my leg from thigh to ankle. Watching him do that and his cock going in and out of my pussy was too much for me to bare, I was gushing pussy juice all over his cock in no time. At his tempo, he was right behind me , hanging on to me as we rode the waves together. This man...one minute he was so angry with me and the next he was bringing me to the peak of undeniable pleasure.
He kissed my lips tenderly, then my nose, my eyes, my cheeks and forehead. “What are you doing to me?” He whispered against my temple.
“I think the same thing you’re doing to me,” I whispered back. “Nick?” I called his name softly as we both got dressed.
“Yes, baby.”
“I hate it when you do that. It hurts.” I said softly. I finished fixing my clothes and was looking at him.
“Do what?” He sighed.
“Say that I have customers and suggest that I’m a prostitute. You make me feel like a whore when you say those things and then you fuck me right here on your desk. You also scare me when you get angry.”
“Lee,I don’t think you’re a prostitute, that’s the farthest thing from my mind when I think about you. I think you’re strong, smart, sweet, beautiful and extremely sexy. And I would never do anything to hurt you, ever. I’m sorry, baby. Come here.” He pulled me into his arms and hugged my body tightly to him kissing the top of my head.
“Leah, you drive me crazy. You are defiant and stubborn. You have no idea what I’m going through knowing that someone is after you and I have no idea who it is!” He growled. “Yow when mi ketch da pussy de...”
“Shhh baby, baby please, please. You’re doing it again.” I tipped and held his face gently between my hands.
He sighed heavily, “I’m sorry baby. I’m not used to this...this is all so new to me...” He sighed again.
“It’s ok. It’s new to me too.” I smacked his lips quickly. “Tell me about these businesses you own.” I tried to quickly change the topic. “I see my man has a MBA in Finance.”
“It’s nothing,” he said a little smile on his face almost as if he was blushing.
“Wait is that a smile?!” I said bending my head and looking at him. “Omg it is a smile!” I said smiling brightly and sticking his side. I saw his face spilt into the biggest smile I’ve ever seen. He was such a handsome sight I could have swooned.
“Really Lee?” He said still smiling.
“Yea mi neva kno say top shotta smile, god know!” I exaggerated.
He rolled his eyes and walked around his desk to sit. “I own several used car dealerships , high end clothing stores, a few nightclubs, a courier service, a cambio and I have several hundred acres of farm lands that I lease in different parishes.” He said so nonchalantly it was as if he was saying the weather.
“Who manages all this?!” I asked clearly in shock.
“Of course I don’t take part in the day to day operations of each and every one of them. I have my managers but they all have to report to me.”
“I can’t say I’m not impressed.” I said looking at him with awe. “What about the streets?”
“What about it?” He shrugged.
“Your name drives fear into the hearts of many. How did that happen?”
“Le...” I cut off his protest.
“Please.” I pleaded going around the desk to sit on his lap.
“You know I can’t help myself when you’re this close to me. Fucking you is a like my new found hobby.” He said as his hands snaked under my blouse and I slapped them away.
“You’re trying to dodge the question.”
“No, I honestly can’t help myself around you,” he said drawing me close and putting his face into the crook of my neck inhaling deeply. I closed my eyes remembering the first time he did that at the club. It was still very erotic, but I refused to be swayed.
“Would you like me to sit in one of the chairs across from you?” I asked my eyes still closed as he kissed my neck.
“Don’t fucking move” he breathed, his face still buried in my neck. “You smell so fucking good and it’s such a turn on.”
“Focus Nick” I said seriously.
“Fine. You see this?” He dragged up his shirt angrily exposing the scar at his heart that the tattoo covered. “This happened because some pussyhole think me father did have too much respect and did jealous so him run een pan mi father and shoot him infront a me and mi mother and den look pan me as a young youth and say me fi come defend it if mi think me bad.” A small gasp escaped my lips but he continued.
“Mi mother take me and run go America but I carried that night with me and I vowed to kill that motherfucker even if me dead inna the process. The whole thing hurt me not just because he killed my dad in front of me but because I knew my dad was a good man. He looked after his men and the youths in the community. He didn’t just arm them physically but mentally as well. Anyway my mom insisted on my education. She say Masters before mastering, so I followed the path she wanted. By the time I came back to Jamaica the brethren was called the most notorious, and was revered because he managed to kill my father. I learned at that time the lesson my mother tried to teach me with ‘Masters before mastering.’ Because I was educated I learned his weakness very quickly and how to get around his own men, my psychology courses paid off.” He smiled ominously. And I remembered his comment about pheromones and silk moths. This man, I shook my head mentally.
“I got to some of his men and I made then realize how poorly they were being treated and disregarded. Some believed and started backing away but some stuck in their way of thinking. I had a few men of my own, men who were with my father and I went after this mother fucker with blind rage. I literally walked into his den singlehandedly, without a plan and started shooting. At the first shot, he pulled his weapon and fired straight to my heart. There was so much rage in me I kept firing and firing spraying the place and killing every person in the room. When my clip was empty, I fell to the ground unconscious.” I was now curled in his lap clinging to his neck.
“When I woke up a few months later. I was in a hospital bed. The bullet missed my heart by a fraction. People say I’m cold blooded, fearless and of course they’re convinced I’m heartless because of that incident. My organization grew when I came out of the hospital and I got this tattoo on the scar. As you’ve noticed all my men wear this tattoo. I treat my men well, as a result, they are loyal. The experience has taught me never to act in anger immediately, I’ve learned to control my emotions.” He stopped talking and kissed my hair.
“I’ve never had to bonafide girl before so all this is new to me. Please bear with me while I learn, that’s all I ask.” He said this last part so quietly. I looked up at him, placed my forehead on his and kissed his lips.
His revelation made so many things clearer. It made me understand him so much better. And it made me want him even more.
“So Lee you fi tell me how you meet Nick or Neeko don as I know him?” My mother shocked me with her question one night. We’ve been at Nick’s house for over three weeks and we hardly got time alone together because I was so busy with school or spending time with Nick. “Yea I know is him. You think me wouldn’t recognize him even after all this time being here?” She continued.
“Are you upset?” I asked her first.
“Maybe if I didn’t see for myself how much him nuh know wah fi do wid himself roun you I would be, but I’m not.” She said with a small smile. My mom was so perceptive.
“Mommy I’m going to tell you something and I don’t want you to be upset with me ok.” I said as I sat on the bed she shared with Lincoln.
“Lee you deh wid Kingston’s most notorious nothing cyah top that.”
“I was working at a strip club as an exotic dancer to take care of us. My stage name was Gypsie. That’s how I met him. I didn’t work at Burger King.” I said as quickly as the words could come out.
My mom just looked at me for a few seconds then she said, “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I didn’t want you to be disappointed. And no I wasn’t selling sex, I only danced.”
“Why did you think you had to resort to that Lee?” She asked looking directly at me.
“Things were really hard for us and I needed to find a way to pay for Lincoln’s school, as well as yours and his medical bills. I couldn’t allow us to starve.” I said pleading with my eyes for her to understand and not be mad at me.
“If we weren’t actually sitting in Neeko’s house right now, I’d say you’re lying because as far as I know you have two left foot” my mom started laughing surprising me.
“It’s not funny mommy. You have no idea how many times he saved me from stupid drunken men.”
“I’m glad you meet him Lee, God know.” She hugged me to her.
“Me too. I don’t know what I’d do without him mommy. What would we do without him?” I hugged my mom and left her to get herself and Lincoln ready for bed. I had to study.
I grabbed my laptop and textbooks piled on top and went to the den. It was usually quiet at this time of night. I don’t know where Nick and his soldiers went but they disappeared by late evening. Most nights he came to bed late. In the middle of my sleep I would feel his hot mouth on my nipples through his T-shirt and I would not get a chance to breathe; he would be deep in side me by the time my eyes were fully open.
When I walked into the den there was a man dressed in the usual black sitting with his head down. Two or three men would be in the house even if Nick was on the road, so I wasn’t surprised to see this person, however, usually when I walked into a room Neeko’s men stood, but this man kept sitting. My scalp prickled. Something wasn’t right.
“Hello,” I greeted him. When he looked up my eyes grew wide at the sight of him more so than the sight of the shiney 9 mm pistol in his hand. My laptop and books fell to the ground as my mouth fell open but no scream came out. I was shell shocked at who was standing holding a gun at me in Neeko’s house...
