No Way Out(18)

“How can I help you, handsome?” she said full of sexual innuendo.

“I’m Simon James. I’m looking for my woman, Emmy,” I stated blandly.

“I’m Claudia, Emmy’s sister. Why don’t you come in and wait?” I followed her in, not feeling comfortable, but the sky just darkened and I felt the first drop of rain.

The inside was decorated like they had millions. I wondered how much she had Emmy’s brother in the hole for. She looked like the type. “Do you want to get something to drink?”

“Water, please.”

“You sure? I can’t get you something stronger.”

“Absolutely. So where’s her room at? I need to talk to her.”

“Actually, she’s with her brother. They’ll be back in about an hour. She’s a very lousy girlfriend, so I was afraid if you knew she wasn’t here, you’d leave her for good.”

How dare she talk about Emmy like that? I wanted to gut the bitch but didn’t feel like leaving since it just started to rain outside. “I’ll wait until she gets here.”

We were in the living room when she sat down next to me on the sofa. It was a little too close for my liking, so I got up to look out the front window.

I could feel her behind me again. Damn, the viper was all over me. “So what do you do, Simon?”

“I’m an investment banker.”

“Oh, wow. Emmy landed another wealthy man. She loves that bankroll.” I knew she was lying and it only served to prove that this bitch was out to get Emmy. My woman had an issue with wealth, so I doubt she dated a guy who had money before. I needed to get away from her for a minute.

“Excuse me, Claudia, but where is your restroom? It was a long flight.”

“Oh, it’s this way. She escorted me upstairs to the master bedroom. I thought it was strange, but then she added, “Our other bathroom is being renovated.”

I gave her a simple nod and walked into the bathroom alone. I thought she was going to follow me in there, too. Not trusting her, I locked the door behind me and took a quick piss. After washing my hands, I called Emmy’s phone. She didn’t answer, but I needed to talk to her.

I sent her a text. Emmy, stop playing and get back to your brother’s house. This skank of your sister-in-law is working her charms. Your brother needs to lose this one.

Claudia had added more perfume and gloss on her lips. What a whore! I tried to walk to the bedroom door, but she stopped me with a hand on my arm.

“Simon, you don’t need to leave so soon. It’ll be a while before they come back. We could get nice and cozy during this storm.” She brushed her breasts against my arm but I just pushed away.

“Listen, Mrs. Watts. You’re a fucking whore. I don’t understand what a man like Steven would want to do with you. I have Emmy and there isn’t a woman in the world that could ever change that. She’s the only woman I want. I don’t care how much you try to throw your pussy at me; I’ve got all I’ll ever need in her. And another thing, if you say one more bad thing about her, I’ll find a way to destroy you by any means necessary. Now, excuse me. I’ll wait in my car.”

I moved past her and opened the door. Emmy, Steven, and some other guy were standing on the opposite side along with an officer. “Emmy,” I growled. Instead of coming into my arms, she pushed past me and slapped the shit out of Claudia. I had to pull her off the broad because the claws were out and my kitten had gone bat shit crazy.

“Emmy, come on. I don’t want you to get arrested. Did you forget you arrived with a cop?”

“Technically two, but she tried to steal you from me. You’re mine, damn it,” she hissed. I turned her around and looked her right in the eyes.

“You’re right, Emmy. So if you try to leave me again, I’m going to spank the shit out of you.” I didn’t care that we had an audience, I was claiming her— especially if any of these fuckers were into her. My lips crushed hers.

I heard a cough behind me when I lifted Emmy and wrapped her legs around my waist. I turned and it was the cop looking at us. “Is there a problem officer?” I felt possessive of my little princess.

“Yes, actually, excuse me.” He walked past us and I didn’t see the female officer behind him. They approached Claudia and said, “Mrs. Watts, you’re under arrest.” Then they cuffed her.

“What? What for?”

“You’re being charged with filing a false police report and fraud.”

“Well shit, I want a lawyer.”

Once Claudia was removed from the house, I pulled Emmy out of the bedroom, not saying a word to the others. Since the house was small, I assumed the next bedroom was hers and bingo, it was. I locked the door behind me because she and I needed to get shit straight.
