Page 33 of Mine, Forever

“I’m going away on business. While I’m gone, I need you do something for me.”

“Yeah?”

“I have someone in the organization who needs to be killed.”

“So you’re testing my loyalty to you then?”

I looked at her, taking in her nonchalant expression.How could she see right through me?

“Yes.”

“Okay. Any more information you care to share with me?”

“I want you to figure it out. Kill him and dispose of the body.”

“Anything else?”

I finished the breakfast plate and placed the dish in the sink. Pulling her into my body, I bit her earlobe causing her to hiss in response.

“While I’m gone, no one else is to touch you. Understand?”

“And if they do?”

I felt myself audibly growl, a reaction I’d never had before when it came to women. I wasn’t a jealous man by nature, but for some reason the very thought of someone touching her had me breathing hard.

“I’ll rip them apart with my bare hands.”

She pulled my neck closer to her claiming my lips with her own. Her tongue hungrily lapped at mine. I picked her up by the waist and put her down on the kitchen bench. Stepping between her legs, I pulled the shirt from her revealing those tits I craved so much. Bending down, I latched onto a nipple causing her to loudly gasp and throw her head back in pleasure. She raked her nails down my back almost causing me to lose my pants and take her right fucking there on the bench. But instead, I let my senses return, and I stepped back putting distance between the minx and the betrayer known as my cock.

“I’ll be back in a couple of days.”

I didn’t look in her eyes. I couldn’t. I just knew she’d call to me like a damned siren.

“What! No goodbye?” she called out to me as I headed for the shower.

I stopped only momentarily to force myself to ignore her.

I should have fucking left her in Serenity.

EBONY

I drummed my fingers along the kitchen table in the apartment wondering when I would get the chance to be invited to the ‘office.’ Maybe this was part of the test to earn my way into the organization. I needed to be in full stealth mode. Surely he would have the directions around here somewhere. I hadn’t even explored half the apartment yet as it had been a crazy few days. Just last week I was in Serenity Asylum, and now I was in Jett Black’s apartment after having him bow down to me last night.

If only Adora-Lee could see me now.

I laughed at the thought knowing she’d be horrified as would my sisters. As I searched through the apartment looking for an address book or a business card, I was also looking for something personal about him. His apartment was bare basics at best, no photos, no papers—it was as clean as a whistle. There were a few rooms that were locked, but I didn’t try to get in. Trust had to be built, and then he’d let me in. Until then, I would continue to assert my authority by his side.

He wanted me to kill one of his men, someone who thought he had the right to speak about Jett behind his back. That was enough to make me kill, but the thought that Jett wanted me to do it as an initiation was exciting. The only problem would be finding out who it was. I presumed I was the only girl which meant they would be cautious of me from the start.

The door opened just as I was about to leave. York looked me up and down in my black outfit and nodded. “You’re ready?”

“Yes.”

“Come with me.”

“Who is with Jett?”

I’d just assumed he would take York with him. I never thought Jett would go away on his own. I was a little scared for his safety even though I knew he could handle himself. Still, I didn’t like the fact that he didn’t take his bodyguard with him.
