“Bitch, I will blow your motherfucking brains out now.” The deep and full sound of Sumo’s voice cleared the court in a rush. He sounded like Biggie with more grit and violence. He kinda looked like him too.

“Then do it.” Jupiter walked up to Sumo, a human fucking mountain, and pressed her forehead to his aimed gun. “What’s on the other side of death can’t be worse than this shit we’re living right now. So, do it…fat motherfucker.”

A concrete sigh fell from my mouth as I stretched my arm in the air and blasted three warning shots, clearing out the entire park. Screams and shoes on the pavement were all that could be heard for a few seconds.

“Next one goes in your ass, Sumo,” I warned. Pretty Boy and Truck were standing now too. They hadn’t pulled their guns but they were visibly on standby. Feet spread apart and hand close to their pistols.

“The fuck, King? You protecting this silly bitch?”

“Call me a bitch one more time and we’ll see whose gun has more bite,” Jupiter spat.

“Yo, you gotta get her out of here. She’s wild as fuck, bro.” Pretty Boy shook his head at Jupiter and honestly, I was doing the same goddamn thing. She was out of control. It made me laugh though.

No woman…shit, nopersonin their right mind would look at Sumo, of all people, and decide to stand toe-to-toe. Here was Jupiter all of…what, five feet even? And she was ready to either blow his head off and have hers blown off. I had to commend her for that. Not even Pretty Boy and Truck had those kinds of balls.

“I don’t know if I should be scared for her or Sumo,” Truck said, scratching his head.

“Both of y'all need to put your guns away. If you don’t, I’ll shoot both of you and I don’t give a fuck.” My teeth were clenched. It was the last measure I had against flipping the fuck out on everyone. My temper was notoriously short and I didn’t discriminate. My brothers could catch my wrath too.

Sumo was the first to lower his gun, as it should have been. He was a King. He knew even though he was second in command, I ran the entire gang. If he didn’t lower his gun, it would be a direct act of treason and I’d have every right to kill him. A hush fell between us and we all watched Jupiter. She was the wild card and that was putting it very fucking lightly.

She looked at me, fire flickering in those cognac eyes. I saw it clearly as I saw my own fire. Hers was wild and untamed too. My nostrils flared in recognition.

Real recognized real.

After a silent face-off, Jupiter lowered her gun. Shit, I didn’t even remember seeing her pull it. She was fast and smooth as hell. I made a mental note to ask her how long she’d been handling guns because she was a natural.

“Now get your ass over here,” I said to Jupiter, grabbing her arm and walking outside of the park’s gates. She shoved me hard, and I stumbled to the side. Only by a couple of steps but the girl was strong for her size. I grabbed her arm again, that time, she couldn’t shake me free. She growled and glared up at me, sun slashing through her brown irises as it slipped into the earth. As annoying as she was, Jupiter was gorgeous.

“Get the fuck off me,” she fussed, yanking free. She lunged at me her hand outstretched, ready to push my forehead back. I snagged her thin wrist in my fist and she growled again, this time trying to swing at me. I dodged the first hit but the second one connected with my nose. I dropped her hand and grabbed my face, making sure she didn’t draw blood.

“What the fuck is your problem!” I roared, finally calming her charged energy. She stood still, finally, chest heaving, sucking in air.

“Why were you grabbing me? I hate being grabbed like that.” Something else squeezed her words but I couldn’t tell what it was. I didn’t care either. She was vicious and she packed one hell of a punch.

“I don’t give a fuck how you like being grabbed,” I said, examining my hand for blood from my nose.

“You’re not bleeding,” she told me, her voice softening to a normal tone.

“Better not be,” I snapped, looking at her. “You need to get the fuck out of here. Cops will be here soon after someone reports guns and shots fired.”

“So? I have connections in the department. I won’t be the one getting arrested. Y'all might want to leave though. I know for a fact Captain Marsh is looking for you, King.” She looked me from the top of my head to my impeccable shoes.

“Who’s your connect? I can’t get inside the department no matter whose hands I grease.” Before I could stop myself, I realized I was asking her for information. Nothing was free. Especially information. Jupiter knew it too, that’s why she was grinning up at me. She had a dimple on her right cheek.

Fuck.

Like she needed a goddamn dimple with everything else she had going on. The hair, the body, the tats, the attitude…

Then a dimple on top of everything else.

“You know I’m not telling you shit,” she sang, smirking and making that dimple pop.

“I’m not letting you in. You and Sumo don’t get along and we all have to agree on a new member.” I gave a casual shrug and she rolled her eyes.

“Like I said, I have connects in the department. I have access to thousands of bank accounts loaded with money and all I want is a chance to tap into the Kings so I can get even more money than I already have. I would think y'all would want the same thing but I guess not.”

“I’ll come see you tonight. We’ll talk about these connections and bank accounts,” I told her, trying hard as fuck not to focus on the outline of the steel barbell through her nipples. I wonder where else she was pierced…
