Page 24 of Tempted
“Were you attacked?”
“Mexicans had a leak. I found it before weeven loaded up the truck.”
“How’d you do that?” She asksincredulously.
“I suspected it was one of his drivers. Igave each of them a different route and had Tek tap their phones.We found the rat and sent him and a few guys with a fake shipmentwhile we went the other way with the real one.Jefefoundhis leak and sent a message to the guys who were stealing fromhim.”
“I see…and you do stuff like that for otherpeople?”
“I do.”
She leans back into the seat and remainssilent for the rest of the drive to her house. The journey toMillie’s is no different. I guess I’ve given her a lot to thinkabout. She already had an idea, but now she has confirmation.Ihope all this doesn’t scare her away. I don’t want to lose her.When I drop her off at work, she mumbles “thank you” and reachesfor the door.
“Raven.”
“Hmm?” She turns to me expectantly.
“Come here.”
She leans toward me and I grab the back ofher neck, pulling her in. I kiss her lips gently, needing to tastethem. I need to know we’re okay. She moans and opens up, giving mefree reign. I flick my tongue against hers, and her little whimpergoes straight to my dick. Her response is the only affirmation Ineed. I break away reluctantly. “Good morning.”
“Good morning,” she says with a smile.
“I’ll send Ron to pick you up later.”
“’Kay. Will I see you?”
“I’m not sure. I’ll call you.”
“Okay.”
I reach across and open her door then watchas she runs inside the diner. On the drive back, all I can thinkabout is how good she feels in my arms and how these last twonights I’ve slept better than I have in a really long time. Again,what the fuck is she doing to me? To be honest, she hasn’t doneanything but be herself. The more I see of her, the less it becomesabout waiting for her birthday so I can fuck her. I can’t believeI’m actually developing feelings for this girl. The question is,what am I going to do about it? I can’t do the relationship thing,especially after what happened the other night. She could have beenkilled, and it would have been because of me. How long were theyfollowing me? Did they see me put her in the car? There could havebeen others or they could have been communicating with the rest oftheir crew. Shit. I need to find these motherfuckers fast.
Tek approaches me when I arrive at theclubhouse. Good thing because I was just about to drag his ass outof bed.
“Found ‘em, boss,” he says.
“Who are they?”
“Call themselves The Muscle. Just a group ofguys who hire themselves out as security or muscle, as it would be,if needed.”
He turns his laptop toward me and shows me apicture of the group of men. I spot the two from that night at theKitty and the two from the other night. I count ten in all and wetook out four, so I’ve got six motherfuckers gunning for me.
“Word on the street is they’re on amanhunt.”
“That means I have to get to them before theyget to me.”
“What are you thinking?”
I’m thinking I need to take them out all atonce. The only place I can get them together and know we can get itdone without being seen or heard is the warehouse where I keep myother cars and bikes. “Call the number. Tell ‘em you got a job thatwill need the whole crew. Offer to triple their regular fee. Makeup whatever backstory you need and get ‘em to thewarehouse…unseen.”
“Got it.”
“Wake up the boys. Keep Rico and Motor withyou. The rest of us are heading to the warehouse. We got a trap toset.”
