“You boys clean up nice,”I say to Hanson and his brother Oliver as I fix Oliver’s tie.
“Dude, what are we doing here?” Oliver asks nervously. “This is the police commissioner’s ball. We need to get the fuck out of here.”
“Relax. We’re the commissioner’s personal guests. No one can touch you,” I reply.
Like I said. It’s time I reveal the power I hold in my new position while showing just what the Alliance means. We run this city.
I don’t have to make my point the way we used to do things. Our relationships at the top come with no other option than ayes, andhow soon. Those dirty cops have been trying to make life hell for Hanson and Oliver.
Oliver turned out to be a good kid. However, those motherfuckers are trying to push him and Hanson into a corner that’s going to make them come out swinging while not caring who gets hit. I can’t have that.
Brooklyn and Logan want this shut down as much as I do. That’s why I’ve been fucking with the comfort of Strong, Vargus and Baker’s family’s livelihood. I want them to feel what it’s like to have someone pressing them.
“Wow, on second thought. I don’t think I’m ready to leave. Who’s that? I didn’t think they would have baddies like that here,” Oliver says while nearly drooling on himself.
I turn to see what he’s talking about, and my breath stops as Ciara comes into view. She and Taegan spent the day at the spa and with a glam squad. I had to be here to meet up with Hanson and Oliver, so the girls came in the limo. Booker dropped me off in my Rolls I keep in a garage for nights like this.
My mouth falls open as my gaze runs over Ciara. She’s in a purple satin-looking gown that cuffs around her neck, wherestones sparkle in an oval pattern. Then there’s a keyhole just below her throat, down to right below her breasts.
The dress molds to her body in a mermaid-like shape that shows off her curvy frame and pools into folds of fabric. Almost like she has on an upside-down tulip. Her hair is down and curled into large waves that frame her face, much like the first time she walked into my gym.
However, it’s the confidence she walks in with that blows me away. Her little ass walks in like she’s the queen of the city. I’m ready to bow at her feet and worship her. Instead, I drop my hands in front of my crotch and cross them in hopes no one can see the massive erection I’m now sporting because of this woman.
“Hey, you. You look amazing in your tux. Good enough to eat,” she sings as she stops in front of me.
I reach to palm her ass and pull her closer to me as I dip in to devour her purple-tinted lips. Reluctantly, I break the kiss and pull away as Taegan clears her throat.
“You take my breath away. How am I supposed to focus on anything else tonight?”
“Damn, that’s you?” Oliver says, breaking into the moment.
“Yeah, she’s mine,” I say with a smile. “Ciara, this is Oliver and Hanson. They work for me and my family.”
“Hi, nice to meet you,” she says with a smile, but she hasn’t taken her eyes off me.
“Well, what am I to ya? Did ya miss that I came in with her?” Taegan teases.
I look to her and smile. She looks nice as well in the green gown she’s wearing. It works with her red hair, green eyes and pale skin. Taegan has always been pretty.
“Guys, this is Taegan. I know you’ve heard of her. Now you know her by face.”
“Aye, now yer talking. Good to meet ya boys. Here comes the commissioner.”
I turn to see she’s right. The commissioner is heading straight for me. Pulling Ciara into my side, I then turn to face the commissioner fully.
“Dylan, I want to thank you and your associates for the generous donation.”
He lifts a hand to wave over one of the waiters with a full tray of champagne. I take two glasses, handing them to Ciara and Taegan before I take another for myself, nodding for Hanson and Oliver to take one as well. The commissioner takes one, then lifts it to give a toast.
“I’m looking forward to our endeavors in the future. To new paths and strong allies,” he croons as he holds his glass up.
“Speaking of the future. I want you to meet those friends of mine I was talking to you about,” I say.
“Yes, yes. I’ve already launched an investigation into that matter.”
“That’s good. I’m sure this will be well received.”
“Good, good, I’m here to do my part.”
