Lexus dressed just as nice as the car he took his name after. I never saw him looking like a regular dude. He was always fitted in Timbs, dark jeans, and a tight shirt that outlined his muscular body. He also had a perm on his head that was laid just right.
He was a charming man and that was why no one would believe he could take out an entire family and not even blink an eye. Rumor had it he controlled a few apartment complexes and owned everyone who lived in them. He was admired and feared at the same time.
Why in the hell do I attract these hood boogers? I must be one myself.
“I see someone likes you.”
Cameron.
My mouth gasps as the familiarity washes over my body. I knew the possibility of seeing him tonight was strong, but I didn’t realize how soon I would run into him. I turn around and gasped at how hot he was.
He wore a business suit with an open collar and looked every bit of an executive. The sexual energy shifted between us and I felt my breath become ragged. My heart sped up to ear-pounding levels, and I felt like I needed to hold onto something so I wouldn’t fall over.
“I am cute.” I give a small retort back.
Cameron closes the distance between us. “I think you’re beautiful and cute doesn’t quite describe you.” He pauses for a beat. “How have you been, Tay?”
“Good. You know, school and that’s about it.” I look at his appearance. It seems Cameron had became more attractive than before and I wasn’t sure how that was possible. “How are you?”
“I’m well. Thank you.” Cameron turns his attention to Lexus and the Mystery Man I was flirting with. His eyes are solely on them as he talks to me. “Congratulations on graduating. I knew you could do it.”
“You did.” I turn to him. “And thank you for the last bit of encouragement. I really needed it.” I see the interaction between the men and my nerves are a bit rattled. Cameron works for Lexus and now it all makes sense. A drug dealer always has a drug lord they answer to and Cameron is no different.
“I have a graduation gift for you, but I didn’t bring it with me tonight.” Cameron turns his attention back to me. “It’ll be delivered at your apartment tomorrow.”
“You didn’t have to give me anything, Cam.” My mind and heart are conflicted. My heart wants the gift but my mind reminds me it’s drug money. I understand where Hayley is coming from.
“You deserve it,” Cameron grabs my hand and kisses it. “I deserve you.”
I look away and shake my head. “Cam…”
“Shhh…” He closes the distance between us and gives me a searing kiss. Our tongues play, tasting each other with a bit of aggression. My hands became lost in his hair and Cameron pulled me closer to him.
I pressed against him, feeling his ripped body and hardened cock. A low growl escapes his lips as he deepened the kiss, twirling my tongue. My clit was throbbing in my panties and I wanted nothing more for Cameron to pay attention.
“WHAT’S UP!” A man shouts and Cameron immediately stops kissing me and turns around. It’s Lexus and the Mystery Man, with their small entourage in VIP. “What’s up, my people!”
Cameron makes eye contact with the group. If I wasn’t paying attention to him, I wouldn’t have noticed Cameron looking around the club to see where his security was. I immediately spotted several men who did a quick nod to him and speak into hidden microphones.
“Gentlemen,” Cameron approaches the group and a server comes by with bottles of Ace of Spades. “Welcome.” Que climbs up the stairs and stands next to Cameron. “I’m glad you could join us tonight.”
“Yeah, this is a nice little spot you have here.” Lexus looks around as Mystery Man eyes me. “Cute little spot.”
“Is there anything we can help you with?” Que asked with a tone bordering on condescending and lecturing. “We have a business to run and a graduation to celebrate. We don’t have time to waste.”
“I see what you’re doing here,” Lexus takes a glass of champagne and sips. He smacks his lips and Cameron and Que glance at each other. “I want in.”
“We’ll talk business at another time.” Cameron suggests. His voice is equally flat. “My business hours are Monday through Friday, like a regular workweek.”
“No, I want to talk business and we’re talking it now,wigga.” Lexus steps up to Cameron and I stand back. “I told you I like your little club and I know how much money goes through this joint at any given time. I want in and I’m going to get in.” Lexus’s crew surrounds him. Cameron and Que are outnumbered.
“And I said,” Cameron’s voice is low and I see a vein pop out of his neck, “we’ll discuss business during my hours. Got it?”
Lexus’s crew suddenly pulls out their guns. Cameron and Que don’t budge but everyone in VIP clears out. My feet are stuck and I’ve gone into a state of shock. Cameron is about to be killed in front of me and I don’t know what to do.
“Maybe you don’t hear me, white boy.” Lexus steps closer to Cameron and Que. “We want this club and we’re getting it.” Lexus looks over at me and snickers. “And we’ll take your bitch, too.”
Red laser dots appeared on the foreheads of Lexus’s crew. If Lexus was playing a game, Cameron introduced game match. “That’s the first and last time you will ever refer to my woman as a bitch.” Cameron placed his hands in his pockets. “If we’re shot, not only is your whole crew taken out now, but so are the people at their residences.” Cameron looks behind Lexus and sees a familiar face. He only smiles. “Hello, Deuce. Nice to see you again. I see you have your owner, Tre, with you.” The men clock their guns. “Easy, easy now. You don’t want to risk your Nana meeting your Papa in heaven too soon, right? Your little girl is over at your Nana’s house right now, isn’t she? How old is she? About seven, yes? She still attends that elementary school on Washington? You know I set up a trust fund for her about a few hours ago at the local bank to ensure she’ll be taken care for the rest of her life.” Cameron lets out a sigh. “Because of this right here.” He presses two fingers to his lips and Deuce and Tre go down.
