Jupiter struck me as the kind of woman who went after what she wanted and had no problems being cutthroat along the way. The other kings wouldn’t dare let her ass on our team though. Even if they could get past the fact that she was a witness, the issue remained that she was a woman and we were a brotherhood.
All four of us decided there could be no women in the Kings. They were a distraction and things always went sour between even the most loyal men when a woman was introduced.
“You’re probably right, but no,” I said, my voice hard.
“You’re really holding on to this sexist shit that women can’t run with the Kings?”
“That’s exactly what I’m doing. Besides, I don’t know you. Don’t know shit about you or who you hang with. You could be setting us up.”
“So, you’d risk me talking to the cops because you don’t want women in the Kings?” She asked.
“You’re not going to snitch,” I said easily.
“And how the fuck do you know that?”
“Because there’s honor amongst thieves.” I winked at her and pushed through the doors, heading outside. I didn’t have to look behind me to know Jupiter was right on my ass. Even the pace of her steps sounded angry and demanding.
“You are such a bastard,” she fumed.
“I know.” I rounded the corner and my boys were in sight. They all looked in my direction like they knew I was approaching. “Now, go back home, Jupiter. We don’t want you out here getting hurt.” I laid a heavy hand on her shoulder then moved back to my spot on the basketball court.
“Who the hell was that?” Sumo asked once I sat down.
“Nobody,” I answered. “We need to call a meeting with the lower-level to finalize all the hits.” My words staggered as I looked up to see Jupiter switching her hips over to where I sat with my boys.
She was like a damn pit bull. She just would not let it go.
The muscle in my jaw twitched as I leaned back in my seat and watched her hard-headed ass approach. The sun had set and the fading light created a silhouette of Jupiter’s body that was crazy. Toned legs, slim waist, perfect mouthfuls of perky titties. I pulled my stare away from the outline of her nipple rings and cleared my throat.
“That’s the bitch from the bank,” Sumo said, leaning over to me. “Is that who you were talking to?”
“Yeah,” I admitted, rubbing my face. She was making life hard for me and I didn’t like that. I was trying to honor my intuition but Jupiter was about to find out just how dangerous I could. be.
“Hey, y'all,” she said, looking at everyone. Pretty Boy and Sumo blinked silently at her.
“What’s happening, queen?” Truck grinned.
“See, I like him. He knows how to properly address a woman. The rest of y'all are trash.” She turned her almond-shaped cognac eyes on me and my dick started to stiffen. What the fuck was that shit?
“Trash?” Pretty Boy said, a frown squeezing between his eyebrows.
“You heard me, light skin.” She rolled her eyes while Pretty Boy stared at her for a beat. I knew that look. He was evaluating her. I wanted to know what he thought because I couldn’t figure Jupiter out and I was good at mapping out everyone.
“What’s stopping us from filling your little body with holes?” Sumo asked, clear anger and disdain in his voice. He was ready to pounce and if I didn’t deescalate the situation, he would act on it.
“Chill,” I said. It was more of a command and Sumo knew it.
“Chill for what? This bitch could get us hemmed up and you want to hold court with her? Nah. Fuck that.” His hand moved to his waist and Jupiter mirrored his movements like she was ready for whatever.
Damn.
She had balls.
I held my hand out to her and Sumo telling them to chill the fuck out.
“We can go toe to toe. Am I supposed to be scared of you because you’re a goddamn house?” Jupiter fumed. Her energy shifted crazy fast. This was not the same annoying girl I was gun-to-gun with in the building. Nah, this girl was live. She was a fucking storm brewing waiting to strike and spit lightning.
That let me know she had on kid gloves when she was talking to me a few minutes ago. When it was just us, there was something different in her. Something softer. Still crazy as fuck but softer. With Sumo, all I saw was the crazy side.
