Katniss laughed with a shake of her head. “He’s dumb. Thank God you can play a little bit of football because you would have never made it in the world otherwise.”

Before anything else was said, Mason was struck in his jaw by Zane. I knew he was tired of getting punched by my baby. Mason must have practiced for this one because he tried to go blow for blow with Zane. It happened so fast. Someone yelled gun, then there was a pop sound. My heart dropped.

I tried to rush toward Zane and Mason, but Katniss pulled me back. From where I stood, I couldn’t tell if my baby was shot. Time stood still while my heart ached at the thought of losing Zane. Just before I felt myself about to break, Zane moved.

I broke free from Katniss’s hold. “Let me go!”

The restaurant was in chaos. People had no idea what happened. What they did know was that a shot was fired. Zane pushed himself up from the floor by the time I got to him. He turned to face me and there was blood on his white polo style shirt. I ran into his arms when he opened them.

He kissed my forehead while he rubbed my back. “I’m fine! I’m fine, baby. Calm down.”

Where did that gunshot come from?I pulled my head from Zane’s chest to look around. That was when I noticed Johnathan standing there with a gun in his hand.Oh my God!I watched him move to where Mason lay with a bullet in his head. Johnathan picked the gun up, broke the gun down, then laid it on a small table that sat outside of the bathroom.

Tiara rushed over, pulled me from Zane’s arms, then hugged me. “Oh my God! Are you alright?”

After I confirmed that I was fine, she asked Zane. He confirmed he was fine as well. Johnathan walked over to us with the gun I didn’t know he had now holstered. Tiara went into his extended arms. He kissed her lips. I didn’t want him to go to jail!

It didn’t take the police very long to arrive. I was prepared to explain what happened, but apparently there was no need. The owner told the police that there were cameras. What was more shocking was finding out that Johnathan was an FBI agent.The hell!

Mason tried to kill Zane. Mason was dead. What the hell was really going on?

A Short Time Later…

I was on edge when we got back to Charlotte. I was scared that law enforcement would come back to take Zane and Johnathan away. It goes without saying that after the events, Asher, Zane, and Johnathan forged a brotherhood of sorts. How could they not?

It took a few weeks for Zane and Johnathan to be cleared. It had been all over national news about Mason’s death. Naturally, his family was outraged. That was until all of Mason’s ways were uncovered. He had a history of domestic abuse that was covered up by not only his family, but his agent too. The amount of hush money that he paid out to females who were now coming forward was crazy. I guess NDAs were void once a person died in the way that he did.

“Daisy, where the hell you going with that shit on?”

Zane’s voice scared the hell out of me. I was in the mirror admiring the outfit that I chose to wear for me, Katniss, and Tiara’s girls’ night. I wasn’t sure what the problem was. My outfit was cute as fuck.

“What’s wrong with my outfit, baby? I look cute.”

When Zane stepped behind me, his eyes scanned my outfit further in the mirror. I wore a crop top with a pair of jeans and red bottoms that my baby bought me when we were in Washington, DC.

Zane cuffed the bottom of my titties. “Why can I see your under titties, Daisy?” He turned me around, then grabbed the cuff of my ass. “What the fuck you need slits right here for? You got me fucked up and more so you’re going to get someone’s son fucked up.”

My head slanted toward my right ear. “Um, you think it’s too much?”

“For a woman in a relationship, yes. Baby, I’m not trying to control the way you dress. However, you are a representation of me now. I personally don’t want my woman out here seeming as if she’s single and advertising.”

My mind took in what he said. I never thought about how I dressed or represented myself. How I dressed was how I dressed. Yes, most of the time what I wore was to attract men, so that would be advertising. Now I had a man.

“I understand. I’ll find something not as salacious.”

I started to walk off but was pulled back. Zane’s arms wrapped around me. His lips went to my neck. I shook my head and backed up. “Nope, nope! I’m not about to let you get me caught up.”

He pulled me back into him. “You’re about to take your clothes off anyway. Let me get in Suga Melon before you leave.”

I knew better than to let him get anywhere near Suga Melon. If I did, I wouldn’t be going anywhere tonight. I hadto compromise. “Instead of getting inside of Suga Melon, how about you get into this throat?”

Without waiting for an answer, I lowered his sweatpants as I lowered myself. Yeah, this would hold him over until I got back home.Home.Zane told me after we got back from their preseason game that my stay with him was permanent. At that point, there was no reason for me to fight against it because here was where I wanted to be.

“Tiara,let me find out you’re out here looking for another boo! I see you all sexy and shit.” Katniss had the jokes tonight.

We sat in the VIP section at Club Obsession. All of us looked bad as hell. The outfit that I landed on after I changed was just as sexy as the first but more conservative. Zane was extremely pleased. I tried to get out of the house without his dick or tongue in Suga Melon, but I failed miserably. We were supposed to meet at Katniss’s apartment. They ended up coming to me, because Zane’s dick made me late.

Tiara laughed loudly. “Girl, ain’t nobody lookin fa anotha anything. I got who da hell I want. I ain’t ga lie, when he told me he been dem boys I was hesitant. He not jus dem boys; he dem big boys. FBI, bitch! I happy I gave him a chance though.”
