Rocket was sprawled in a chair with Lemon sitting in his lap giving the guys hell while we watched, laughing at how disgruntled a few of them looked. It was a game they played and was amusing to no end. “Yeah? What’s up?”
“A whole lot of confusion. The underbosses tracked them to Port Palm Beach, but couldn’t find the bodies, or any trace of them from there. Looks like Blood from Bane and Scrub did their jobs right.”
“You really expected anything different?” Lemon looked amused.
“Nah.” Crush waved her off. “Just passin’ on the information. There’s a power void, though. Someone’s gonna have to step in to fill it.”
“Two guesses who that’s gonna be,” Lemon snorted.
“My bet’s on Thorn.” Mace, one of the men I’d recently met spoke up, tilting his beer bottle in Lemon’s direction. “His city. His pain in the ass.”
“Nah.” Bear waved Mace off. “Thorn might operate on the wrong side of the law sometimes, but he ain’t interested in that shit. If you ask me, it’ll be Sting from Iron Tzars.”
Lemon barked out a laugh. “I thought you were the smart one, Bear. I mean, you nominated me for VP. You had to be smart. But that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard you say. Sting don’t give a shit about that kind of stuff. Besides, he might have a hidden chapter close by, but he’s in Indiana. He can’t take over the place from Indiana.”
“Why not? Alfonso had his share of human trafficking. Sting’s all about taking that shit down. If they’ve got a chapter close by, might be in their best interest to at least look into stepping in.”
“Which he would. But he’s not interested in running the rest of Alfonso’s operation. No. If you ask me, it’ll be El Diablo. He’s already got mafia ties, of sorts, and the brains, connections, and resources to get a stranglehold on the entire region.”
“She’s got a point.” Byte had followed Crush in and leaned against the door frame. “Explains some of the moves we’ve seen. Wrath, who’s also the district attorney for the area, has been quietly moving assets and filing contracts for all kinds of shit. I don’t understand the legal shit, but it looks like there are several shipping companies with new majority shareholders that do business exclusively with companies shipping into and out of Port Palm Beach.”
“Huh.” Rocket snorted. “I bet if you look further into that, you’ll find where someone got Alfonso and DeLuca memberships to the Playground or something. My guess is, the other night was set up to make it easy for us to kill those two.”
“Makes sense. How else would two of the most powerful men in the mafia be that easily picked off?”
“Score one for the Devil, I guess.” Rocket leaned in and kissed Lemon’s cheek.
“Got a question for you, Crush.” Bullet frowned as he spoke. “How does John Mason know you and Byte?”
Crush looked uncomfortable but merely shrugged. “He’s… I guess you could call him our mentor? Raised us. Encouraged us to go into the military. I think he’s got some kind of tie with Mama and Pops at Bones, though my understanding is they don’t talk to each other.”
“You know why?”
Crush shrugged. “Nope. Not my business.”
Rocket shifted Lemon around so she straddled him, then stood with her in his arms. “Don’t know. Don’t give a fuck. Time to go fuck my woman.”
That got laughs from everyone.
“Sounds like a good idea. Think me and Cecilia’ll do the same.”
I laughed, snuggling closer to Bullet as he stood and carried me from the room. With a sigh, I latched onto his neck with my mouth, sucking softly.
“Woman, I’m gonna fuck you all night.”
“Good. ‘Cause I’m gonna fuck you all night too.”
“Damn straight you are. Might fuck you all day tomorrow.”
“Promises, promises…”
Somehow, he got the door open to our room, then took me inside, kicking the door shut behind him. We made short work of our clothes. I soon found myself on my hands and knees with Bullet mounting me from behind.
The sex was fast and furious, but no less pleasurable than it was when he took his time. No matter what we did, no matter how many times he fucked me, Bullet always made sure to give me as much pleasure as he could. And sex with him was always pleasurable.
When we were both spent, Bullet rolled us to our sides, his cock still firmly inside me as he pulled me close, spooning me against him. He sometimes did that. Held me until I fell asleep with his cock still inside me, only to wake me a little while later with slow, steady thrusts until I came again.
We were both breathing hard as he pulled the comforter around us, tucking it in around me before settling himself. I think I drifted off before I felt him slip something onto my finger.
