Jupiter.
I stood and headed in her direction before everyone noticed who she was.
How the hell did she find me here?
“Since you like popping up on people, I decided to return the favor. King.” She made my name sound pointed like the tail of a scorpion.
How the fuck did she figure out my name?
“So, I’m not Jamal anymore?” I quizzed, not letting shock show on my face or in my eyes.
“Do youwantto be Jamal?” She cocked an eyebrow and looked at me like there wasn’t at least a twelve inches of height difference between us. This girl was cocky as shit. She walked like there was a crown on her head and music in her hips and for some reason, it irritated the fuck out of me.
“You know you’re risking your life being out here?”
“Why? Am I disturbing the four kings?” She looked around me and wiggled her slender fingers in a wave. “Hi, boys,” she called. Sumo and Pretty Boy looked at me as if to ask who the hell was the chick in front of me while Truck grinned at Jupiter and waved back. Pretty Boy slapped him in the back of the head and he went back to his phone.
“Bring your ass over here,” I sighed, gripping her bare arm and dragging her off to the side and out of sight. I didn’t need my boys jumping to make a move that would have gotten her pretty little head blown off. If they knew she was the bank teller and that I was letting her get that close to me without handling her, they would think I was getting soft. That damn sure wasn’t the case. My intuition still kept telling me not to kill her.
“Get the fuck off me!” Her voice was sharp and demanding. I pushed her inside the park building where the rec center and gym were. It was a nice day outside so the building was practically empty.
She snatched away from me…or at least she tried. Everything with this girl was a damn fight. She tried to pull loose and I held on. Someone had to show her ass who was in control. She was mistaken if she thought she was running shit.
My name was King for a reason.
“Do you ever shut the fuck up?” I snapped my deep voice bouncing off the walls in the hall. I looked around before tucking her into a small cove between the wall and a row of lockers. She was so damn small she fit perfectly.
“I swear to god, I will scream at the top of my lungs if you don’t back the hell up and you know I’ll do it.” She shoved her bony finger into my chest and I backed up a few steps but not enough to allow her room to run, although it didn’t seem like she wanted to run.
“What the fuck are you doing walking up on me like that?” I asked.
“I could have asked you the same thing earlier, stalker.”
“Fuck you, mouth almighty. I need to know where you’re at and what you’re doing.”
“Why?” She asked, hot on my heels.
“I need to watch you.” I eyed her in a sheer black tank top that showed the outline of two barbells through her nipples, a pair of cut-off jean shorts, and Chuck’s. I was going to have a hard time listening to her with those nipple rings staring back at me.
“What the fuck for? You think I’m going to snitch?” She grinned, bouncing up on the balls of her feet. She was short. Short and annoying.
“Snitch on what?” I scoffed. I ran a hand over my chin then folded my arms. “You really think you know something, huh?”
“I know enough or you wouldn’t be following me to make sure I don’t cry to the police.” Her tone smacked of arrogance. It was oddly familiar and absolutely annoying.
“Okay, well since you know so goddamn much, you should know coming to the park was a bad idea. This is our domicile, baby.” I held my arms out and looked around with a smirk.
“Ugh. Stop calling me baby. You’re so classic toxic male it’s giving me a headache.”
“Yeah, well you’re giving me a fucking headache too, baby. The feeling is more than mutual. Now do us both a favor and get the fuck away from me.”
“No.” The word was simple and clear without any other offerings. “You won’t leave me alone and I won't back down or roll over for anyone. Not even the leader of the Legion of Kings.” She whispered the last part like she didn’t want anyone around to hear her or to hear who I was. If she wanted to snitch, she would have done it by now.
I wet my lips and smiled a little while she watched my every move. “You’re not going to snitch, are you?”
“Youaresmart. Good boy.” She narrowed her eyes and turned the sarcasm up to one hundred before rolling her eyes.
Without warning, I gripped her throat and pinned her to the cold concrete wall, making her head bounce off the hard surface. Her cognac eyes went wide with shock. I finally shut her ass up.
