Alexie chuckles again, but Ingram just smiles back. “He told me to return you alive, but shit happens, and if it’s in a body bag then it’s in a body bag. Your choice.”
Neither of them break their stare, and I don’t know how long this standoff will last before Ingram gets desperate. I spring from my chair and stand in front of Alexie. “You’ll have to kill me first,” I declare.
“You don’t think I will?” he questions.
“I’m trying to save you, Ingram,” I say, still trying to play his side. “If you kill Alexie, then it doesn’t matter what you tell Andrei, he’ll kill you, and it won’t be quick. We can work something out. I’m tired of living this life and want to go back home.”
“You could stay here with me?” Ingram asks as though that was even an option. I look at him, confused.
“We could run the business from Chicago together. You’re already on the inside. We would make a great team.”Is this guy for fucking real right now? This isn’t a ride off into the sunset with your psycho-ass kind of moment.I know I need to get more information from him, though.
“How would that work? I don’t even know what you’re doing here,” I goad him.
“I’m about to run everything here, sweetheart,” he says. “The docks are just where cargo is loaded for Starling before it’s shipped to Vegas, where the real show is.” By ‘cargo’, he means innocent people, including children, are taken and loaded up like objects.Disgusting.
“The auctions are something I hope to expand back here in Chicago,” he continues. “The Vegas one is only every four months to keep a low profile and not draw too much attention from the Feds. Andrei has me to thank for that. If we can bring some of that back here, we could be raking in the money. You could have anything you want. You could even have your pick of the litter.”
“Pick of the litter?” I ask as my stomach starts the churn.
“Any of the ‘product’ rolling out of here. See something you like, and it’s yours.”
“I don’t know. This all sounds good, but…” I honestly don’t even know what else to say because I want to strangle this man right now.
“Just say yes. You can have whatever you want. Indulge a little, I do from time to time. We could do it together.” He licks his bottom lip as he talks about indulging.That’s it, he’s done.
I step towards him, and his eyes light up. I’m close enough that the gun is now pointing over my shoulder, still targeted on Alexie. “Ingram…” My voice isalmostseductive, but to anyone who knows me well, it’s all completely fake.
“Yes, Printsessa?”
“What I want…is to kill you.” With that, I force both of my hands under the barrel of the gun and push up. Ingram unloads a few rounds when he realizes what is happening. The bullets crash into the mirrored ceiling, and glass starts to rain down on us. My hands are still on the gun, but so are Ingram’s. We tumble to the floor, falling on the glass shards. I feel one cut into my right shoulder as I land on it. I roll on top of Ingram, refusing to let go of the gun as he continues to shoot aimlessly, hoping it’ll make me let go. It won’t.
I have no idea where Alexie is, but I hope he’s okay. I continue to wrestle with Ingram until I hear the gun click, letting me know he’s out of bullets. My hands release it, and I slam my left fist into his face. He swings his hand up, catching me under the chin, forcing me backward and off of him. I scramble to my feet as Ingram does the same. We’re facing each other, waiting for the other to make a move. That’s when I taste the blood on my lip from the hit. He’ll pay for that later.
“Ahh!” Ingram yells out as I see Alexie step away from him, holding a large shard of glass covered in blood. Ingram’s hands are desperately reaching to his right side where Alexie stuck him with the shard. He stumbles and turns to face Alexie, but as he turns, Alexie jams the glass into Ingram’s gut. Ingram’s hands shoot to Alexie’s, trying to pry the glass out of him, but Alexie twists his hands which twists the shard further into Ingram’s stomach. Ingram quickly loses strength as Alexie pushes forward, forcing Ingram backward. Alexie keeps pushing until Ingrams stumbles backward up the stairs onto the main stage. When Alexie has him positioned where he wants, Alexie pushes down on the glass, making Ingram fall to his knees. Alexie squats in front of him, still holding firmly to the large piece of glass.
Alexie turns his head to look at me. “Malyshka, this man offered you whatever you wanted. What is it you told him?” My eyes light up because I know what’s coming.
“I said I wanted to kill him.” Ingram’s frantic eyes shoot to me, and blood starts to slowly dribble out of his mouth. I climb the stairs Alexie forced Ingram up and walk over to where Alexie has Ingram front and center.Alexie always did enjoy a good show.
When I stand next to Alexie, he shoves Ingram back and releases his hold on the glass protruding from Ingram’s middle. This man isn’t going anywhere. He can barely stay upright. Alexie stands up straight and swings his arm around my side, pulling me to him. His lips crash into mine as his tongue enters my lips. He pulls away too quickly for my liking, and I groan in frustration.
“I will taste you after you end this man. You are always the most delicious after a death.” His voice lights me aflame, and as much as I want to prolong Ingram’s pain, the growing ache between my legs is begging me to hurry up. With one last firm kiss, Alexie releases me and hands me a serrated knife from his back pocket.He had a knife the whole time?“Take what you want, Nat.”
Ingram sways on his knees as he tries to keep his eyes from rolling into the back of his head. I get on my knees in front of him and slap his cheek. “Don’t give up so easily,” I yell as his eyes try to focus on me.
“You stupid cunt,” he chokes out as he starts to cough, spilling more blood down his chin. “Umbra is coming for you.”
That pisses me off but scares me at the same time.Did he really have to ruin my moment by bringing him up?I place the edge of the knife at his side, just under his ribcage. Pressing the knife in slowly, Ingram cries out as I start to run the knife across his abdomen. When I make it halfway, Ingram’s body finally gives in as he falls backward with his legs tucked under him. He coughs violently as spurts of blood erupt from his mouth.
I glance up at Alexie, and he just nods at me. As much as he loves the process, Ingram won’t last much longer. I crawl on my hands and knees over the top of Ingram until I’m straddling him. Alexie lets out a frustrated throat-clearing sound because he obviously doesn’t like the position I’ve taken.
Looking down at Ingram, I notice his eyes are barely open and are looking at me. “We would have never worked out. The moment you agreed to work with Andrei, you were dead. That and you are a disgusting pile of shit. My only regret is that this ends too quickly.” With that, I lift the knife over my head, holding it with both hands, and plunge it into the center of Ingram’s chest. His body spasms for a moment as he coughs out more blood, covering his face. Then, he stops.
Alexie
Watchingmywomantakea life has always made me hard as stone. Seeing her so strong and violent just sets something off inside me. She looks over at me, covered in blood. While she was straddling Ingram, I grabbed a chair from the main floor and hauled it up to the stage. I took a seat, thinking she was going to draw out the death, but she surprised me by making it somewhat quick.More than he deserved.
While slowly clapping, I stand from my chair and stride over to her. I swoop her off of the pile of shit she just stabbed in the chest and haul her to me. Walking backward, I settle us back into the chair. She is now straddling me, and my cock hardens against her. Ripping my shirt off, I turn it inside out and wipe away any blood that is on her face.
