Curse pulled her close, turning her against his chest. She gripped his jacket sobbing.
“Your friend is a lot of things, Mia. Stupid isn’t one of them. We’ve now got a woman on the inside. Ashley showed us loyalty, and she will not betray us,” Devil said.
“What do you mean?” This came from Pussy.
“It means until further notice we’re Frederick Gonzalez’s lapdogs. We do what he says when he says it, and we keep our fucking heads down.” Devil held his woman close to him. “The visit with The Skulls is important. I want you all present in the house when the barbeque happens. They’re going to help us.”
“What was that shit with Tiny?” Death asked.
“He’s trying to separate us. Control us and in the end, rule over us,” Devil said. “This is not your backdoor drug dealer or your pimp. He knows his power and intends to use it. We’ve all got to be ready for what’s going to come our way. It could be a month, a couple of months, years, I don’t know. What I do know is that we all have to band together. No secrets, no shit.”
The room agreed with Devil on the future plans. Mia stared at Jerry’s body, feeling the weight of the words spoken on her shoulders.
“We need to clean this mess up,” Curse said. Everyone started moving at once. Curse took her hand and led her upstairs.
“Where are we going?” she asked.
“You’ve cleaned away enough blood and dead bodies to last you a lifetime. I’m not going to let you do anymore.” He opened the door to a bedroom. “This is my room.”
“I need to help.”
“No, you need to rest. I’m not taking no for an answer. You can fight with me all you want. This is not going to change shit.”
Running fingers through her hair she stepped into his room. The scent was entirely of him. “This is where you live?”
“For now at least. I’m still looking at that apartment. In fact, I got a viewing next week.”
“Curse, are you ready for this?” she asked, sitting down on his bed.
“I think the question is, are you ready for this?”
“What do you mean?”
He knelt down in front of her. Curse ran his hands up and down her thighs. “For a long time you’ve pushed men away. Don’t get me wrong, I love the fact no one knows how awesome you are in bed.” She hit out at him, smiling. “But you’re mine, Mia, and I’m laying my claim. Once we move in together, we’ll be getting married and you’ll be having my kids. I don’t care about anything else, just you.” He touched her cheek, running his fingers down to her lip. “Are you ready to be claimed?”
She nodded without hesitation. The only man she ever felt comfortable with was Curse. “Yes, I want to be caught and claimed.”
“Then consider yourself taken.” He pressed his lips to hers.
Opening her mouth, she met his tongue with her own.
“I love you,” she said when he withdrew.
“I better go and help the club before they get pissed at me. Have a shower and relax. The television is over there. I’ll be back.” Curse kissed her head and left the room.
Sitting on the bed for several minutes she looked around his space. The room was very personal to him yet bare at the same time. He was clean at least.
She stood up and went into the bathroom. Stripping down, she took a long shower, closing her eyes to face up to the spray of the jet. The warmth seeped into her bones, relaxing her.
“I thought I’d find you here,” Curse said.
Gasping, she turned to see him already naked.
“I thought you were going to take longer,” she said.
“It has been an hour, babe. What have you been doing?” He took the cloth from her and started to wash her body. She’d already washed but didn’t care. His touch awakened the fire inside her.
“Nothing, I’ve been thinking about us and our future.”
“Good. We’ll hold off on the wedding until we know more from Ashley.” Curse dropped the cloth onto the tiled floor and placed his hand between her thighs. “I want you to come on my fingers.”
Turning toward him, she reached for his rock hard cock. “Then I expect the same from you.” She worked his thick length, moaning as two fingers slid inside her pussy and his thumb pressed to her clit.
“Go on, baby. Take what you want. You want my cum, then work for it.”
She opened her legs giving him better access to her core. Cupping his balls, she stared into his eyes loving how they dilated as they looked at her.
“This is it now, baby. No one else is going to know how hot you are,” he said.
“I’m glad. The same goes for you. No other woman is going to know how hard your cock gets.”
