‘TRUST NOBODY’ HIPPIE SABOTAGE

Gio

With my muscles aching in the most enticing way, Luce, Lexi, and I walk through the club towards the private elevator. People all around us dance and sway their bodies to the music, the beat of the music vibrates through me as people spot us and step aside, all of the women staring at Lexi, who walks like a queen between us.

She looks incredible tonight, her body wrapped in a classic red silk cocktail dress that hugs her body sinfully, it has my hands itching to rip it off and throw her over the bar so I can fuck her until she can’t remember her own name.

Later, I remind myself as we reach the elevator,we’ve got some blood to spill right now.

“Luce, Gio.” The large, beefy guard greets us as he presses the intercom on the wall.

Lexi looks at him up and down with a scoff before rolling her eyes. Yeah, the asshole completely ignored her, but I don’t bother to introduce her to him. Every man in here is hungrily glancing at the Hooligan princess, wondering who she is and lusting after her…I don’t need another man knowing her name nor laying another eye on her, or I’m liable to kill someone.

As the guard announces our arrival through the intercom, I turn to Lexi, “Remember, baby, you’ll be in the VIP area with Jefa, Nico, and Drake while we go down to the basement. Anything you need, just ask Drake.”

She raises a perfectly manicured eyebrow, her red velvet lips flattening, “And remind me again why I need a babysitter in a Renzetti owned club?”

“Because trouble follows you like a stench, sweetness. I don’t trust nobody. Everyone here is an enemy until we kill every motherfucker who touched you or worked for Alan. Don’t argue it.”

I raise a brow to Lexi, showing my full agreement with Luce, but she just huffs and stares straight as the elevator doors slide open. With our hands at the small of her back, Luce and I guide her onto the elevator.

“You know,” Luce starts, his hands crossed in front of him as he looks down at the irritated woman between us, “your little attitude will require a punishment, don’t you?”

I snap my head to him the same Lexi does, a slight shock of worry slicing through me that she’ll fold into herself, not realizing Luce’s threat is purely sexual, not abusive, but my fear is unfounded when I spot the wicked gleam in Lexi’s reflection on the wall beside Luce.

“Treat me like a doll and all you’ll get is attitude.”

Luce grins, still staring straight, “That’s another strike,” he looks down at her savagely, “your ass will be cherry red by the time I’m done with you.”

They have a stare off for a second while I discreetly adjust my suddenly aching cock. Visions of Lexi bent over naked and squirming as Luce spanks her luscious ass invades my mind, and I’m secretly hoping she doesn’t bite her tongue.

I’m fucking rewarded gloriously when she turns completely toward him, her finger stabbing his hard chest, “You. Don’t. Scare me,Lucy Goosey.”

I smother my chuckle with my hand, scrubbing at my jaw as he looks up at me with a mixture of heat and irritation before snatching her hand and pulling her flush to his body. His arm wraps around her body as he growls down at her, “That’s ten spankings, sweetness.”

He smashes his lips to her in a quick ravishing kiss that leaves her breathless when the doors open. He straightens her and walks out ahead of us, shaking hands and talking adamantly with the men as though nothing transpired seconds ago.

“Bossy asshole.” Lexi grumbles, making me laugh and throw my arm around her shoulders.

“He’s your darkness, baby. You know you love it.” I lead her out and towards the lone woman standing near the bar pouring herself a drink.

Camila ‘Jefa’ Blanca is Nico’s woman. She’s equally as deadly as Nico is, maybe more because she’s a woman around the same short height and sinuous body like Lexi, completely feminine and unassuming…until she gives you one of her psychotic grins before she puts a blade in your neck. She’s also the leader of the Blanca Cartel, and one of the biggest arms dealers and drug smugglers in the United States.

She and Nico are the blood couple, meaning these two get off on killing their enemies.

“Jefa,” I start, “I’d like for you to meet our woman, Lexi Vacarri.”

“Oh, I like this wholeour girlthing,” she winks at Lexi as she takes her hand in hers, “it’s a pleasure to finally meet you. I’ve heard good things about you.”

“The feeling is mutual, though I have to admit I’ve never heard of you.”

Jefa places a hand over her heart, faking hurt before leaning in to Lexi conspiratorially, “That’s probably a good thing. My reputation isn’t exactly table talk.” She chuckles before giving me a nod, telling me it’s okay to tell her who she is. That’s the thing with the mafia, you never speak about its members unless you’re given explicit permission to. I may not be a made man, but I know and follow the rules.

“Jefa here is the head of the Blanca Cartel and the part owner of the underground fighting ring I’ve fought in a few times.”

Lexi’s eyes widen, “Omigod, now I recognize your name. I heard about your father in the news, I’m truly sorry for your loss. Your father was a great man.”
