"I fucked her all night."

"I thought you might," Jamie mused. "Are you going to tell me how you managed to fuck Trixie?"

"It's a long story," I sighed, watching a few of Diego's men come into view. It was early morning, and the next shipment was about to be loaded into the vans.

"We're here for weeks, Ryan," Jamie pointed out.

"I'll tell you later," I murmured, watching Bennett surface from the main house. "We have work to do."

The boys and I took shifts over the next few weeks to keep tabs on the shipments. Like we had expected, Diego's men ran the operation like clockwork. If we wanted to find out what was really going on, we'd have to dig deeper.

"We need to look harder into transportation. It has to be going missing there," I mused, watching Bennett check over all his guns. I had no idea how he was going to smuggle them all back into the county when we went home.

"And how do you suggest we do that?"

"You’ll have to go undercover." My boys loved undercover work—anything that meant they could get their hands dirty.

"We're listening," Jamie grinned.

"You're going away for a week—onvacation."

"I think I see where this is going," Bennett snorted, downing his beer.

"I need you to watch those shipments twenty-four/seven. I will not go back to Carlo without an explanation."

"It's covered, Ryan," Jamie said as he patted me on the back. "Come on, Bennett. It's vacation time!"

"Are you going to be okay here alone?" Bennett asked, getting up.

"I'm sure he'll find somethingto do." Jamie raised his eyebrow at me and smirked. He knew I'd be calling on the sexy Brazilian Trixie again while they were away. She was a long way from my Goddess, but she sure knew how to ride my cock while I moaned out her name. Yeah, I think I'd be fine while the boys were away.

"Ryan!" Diego joined me at the dinner table later that night. "I hear your men have abandoned you."

"Only for a week. They needed a break."

"They are very loyal to you."

"They are loyal to Carlo," I pointed out.

"That's what I meant." Diego smiled, going to his fridge to pull out some beers.

"Don't you miss Chicago?" I asked as he passed me a beer.

"Not anymore. I need to be here. This is my kingdom, Ryan." I tried to hide my smirk. I didn't have the heart to tell him that this was no kingdom. "You've done well for yourself. Carlo holds you in higher esteem than his own son."

"Carlo knows what our strengths are, Diego. I'm not in a competition with Tony. He has his uses, just as I have mine."

"You're a better man than Tony and you know it!"

"Don't let Tony hear you say that, or those will be your last words."

"He doesn't scare me," Diego laughed. "Now, you on the other hand...I'll never forget Miami." Diego was referring to the incident when I killed a rival mob member with my bare hands. I didn't very often kill with my hands these days, but if a motherfucker deserved it, I'd make it as slow and as painful as possible. On that particular day, a rival mob had tried to hurt Carlo. Not a good thing to do while I was around. I'd smashed his face into the pavement a few times before crushing his jaw and killing the motherfucker.

"Are you still having nightmares?" I teased.

"Daily," Diego chuckled as one of his ladies wandered in. "If you'll excuse me." He smiled as she led him away. I smiled, thinking I'd do the same thing; getting up from the table, I went to look for my Siena replacement. What the fuck was I doing? This wasn't going to help when I had to go back home, but to be able to say her name as I climaxed was worth more than the air I breathed down here.

"You're sure?" I asked Bennett and Jamie when they returned later that week.
