Dealing cocaine was never meant to be a long term thing. They both agreed on that when they started. Eyes open. Never believe the glitz, never believe the drug, and they could say, ‘I love you,’ but they still had to have a condom. A year, maybe two, have a lot of fun, fuck some bikers, go to par...
“Yes? Hank?” “Where are you?” “Spending the night with James. Where are you?” “About to come up to the house. After that, I’m going to Mexico to drop off a young lady named Sibel, who was kidnapped and wants to go hom...
His mind wouldn't catch gears; it just spun with no intelligible thoughts. Things like, "it wasn't really her," and "she had a gun to her head," and "I can't believe this," would flash across his mind, but all the bases were covered. He could call Angie, but he knew what she would say. Nicole lef...
Daphne chickened out, and she got on Cyn’s bike with her instead of asking James. The ride was only two miles, and they pulled into a strip mall that had a liquor store, a Mexican food place, a church, and the gun store. Daphne looked at the selection and said, “Perfect,...
After running the streets from age sixteen to nineteen, however, giving up her ass for a bit of cash, coke, and occasional place to stay became nearly routine. Survival sex is what they call it, she found out later, and a lot of kids lose themselves from its erosion. After a long-term stretch wit...
It was too much of a scummy pub—even though the owners were high up in the ranks and had a lot of money. They had to have a bunch of money. I was bringing them so much money now, and that was just me. How many people did they have who also had to pay to be in the right circles? ...
Melissa felt different. In a good way. Almost euphoric. She knew it'd been a long time since she'd had sex, but it wasn't that. She could have had sex with anyone and it wouldn't have affected her this way. It was him. Something about Asher Hudson had gotten under her sk...
He hated the disappointment in her eyes. That’s what happened when you were in a position that had to keep secrets. It wasn’t like he didn’t want to tell her what he was doing and where he was going, but it was top security. She was a good woman. One he’d like to come ho...
But now he wrapped his arm across her shoulder and called out to Hank with his order. With his order in, he turned his attention to Brian. "She give you any trouble? Try to drag you to the mall for a quickie shoe purchase?" Brian smiled lightly, "Not at all and no signs of any problems on the hor...
The group wasn’t anything like Friday night or Saturday, but it was still more than Cyn expected. There were at least fifty bikes out front and a group of perhaps ten more on the side. This, with the fifteen or so cars and trucks in the lot, suggested to Cyn that something was going on. Granted, ...
“Listen up,” he said as the bikes fell silent. “Here’s what really going down.” He laid out the plan, how there were no guns, and this was all a ruse for a mole hunt. “I don’t want any heroes,” he continued. “If the Saracens bite then we’ll have accomplished our mission....
One: so much of life was out of a person’s control. Two: there had been times when life had clearly signposted her choices, and she had relinquished that control voluntarily. She had not acted to change her life. Those inactions had consequences. She was reaping them now. ...
