I jumped when Willow put her hand on my arm.

“Uh. Yeah. Sure. Let’s do this.”

“You alright?”

“Yeah, just woolgathering.”

Willow reached for my hand. I let her lead me to the stage when they called our names. The first notes of “Lady Marmalade” started, and the audience settled down. No doubt they’ve heard Willow sing before. The woman is incredible.

She started out the song. Willow sang Lil’ Kim and Christina’s parts while I took Mya and Pink’s. My knees shook, my stomach tied itself in knots, but my voice was on point. I hit every note, powering through Mya and Pink’s parts of the famous song. I’m fairly certain I did Miss Labelle proud.










Chapter 3

Gambit

Iwalked through thefirst floor of the new compound, surveying our remodel. In just a couple of months, the Kings would move into their new digs. I couldn’t wait. We’d outgrown the firehouse about a year and a half ago, but I’d been busy overseas on missions. Missions that made the capital to fund the remodel.

Thanks to a few black ops jobs overseas, we had enough to put more than just spit and polish on our new digs. And we had the time.

“Are any of you Beau Landry?”

Must be the girl Willow suggested. I sent her a text after church two days ago. After a few short exchanges, she agreed to meet me at the new compound today at nine-thirty in the morning. I heard more voices as I came from the back of the building where my suite was located.

Rounding the corner, I stopped, stunned by the vision that greeted me. A goddess with blue hair held court in the entryway. My fucking cock went from zero to five hundred with one look. She wore black platform work boots with three-inch-thick heels.

She stood four inches shorter than me, putting her at five-eleven without them. Fuck Me. I needed to be inside this woman. Her long, shapely legs, encased in black nylons, went on for days. A black skirt hugged her curvy hips and ended half-way between her ass and knees. The shirt she wore had a halter neckline and crossed over, voluptuous breasts accentuating her waist before flaring out for a few inches. Her deep blue hair cascaded over one shoulder, falling below the curve of her breasts. God, she must look fucking glorious naked. I had to find out soon. My balls were already aching.

Sky-blue eyes locked with mine and she stumbled over her next words. Good to know the attraction goes both ways. My eyes slid down to her lips as she spoke, answering Papa’s question.What the fuck is he doing here?

Papa looked like he wanted to eat her. “Where did you meet Willow?”

“At The Hideaway.”

“Great place for music. How long have you lived in the area?”

I growled, actually fucking growled, at my second in command. My best friend. Who is clearly putting the moves on my woman?
