“No.”
“Doll, he?—”
“I hit him back, we worked it out and I told him if he did that again, I would make sure I cut his cock off and choked him with it,” she snapped.
“Address, Little One,” Boogie clipped.
“No,” she said defiantly. “You can’t just bulldoze into my business.”
“You can’t be disrespected like that,” I said, putting my hand on Boogie’s shoulder, seeing him start to shake. “What if he had tried to kill you? You have what, four men with you, he could have?—”
“I don’t have time for this shit, I called to tell you guys about my win and instead of being happy about it, you guys shit on it,” she snapped.
“You want us to be happy he hit you?” Boogie scoffed.
“No, I want you to be happy that I handled myself on my first big drop off by myself,” she said annoyed.
“Doll, he hit you, he?—”
The call ended before I could finish my sentence. Boogie scowled, called her back immediately and got sent to voicemail. I hit call again, getting sent to her voicemail immediately.
“Doll, you better call us back and?—”
The phone vibrated with an incoming message as I ended the voicemail.
Doll: When you get your heads out of your asses, I’ll answer. Until then, go fuck yourselves. I was happy with my outcome until you ruined it. I know I need more men, but I’ve only had a week to learn shit and the least you could do is pretend to be happy.
I read it before passing it to Boogie who walked away after a few minutes. Something made my chest feel tight and it might have been guilt, something I wasn’t too familiar with.
“Doesn’t she expect us to let her get her ass kicked and be disrespected like that?” Boogied huffed, running a hand throughhis hair as he paced in our small kitchen. “He fucking touched what was ours and we let him live?”
“I don’t like it either, but what the hell are we supposed to do? Kill her buyer?” I sat down on the edge of our bed. “If he steps out of line again, then we kill him.”
“How will we know? We can’t always be with her?” Boogie stopped pacing and stood in front of me in just his boxers with his hands on his hips, displaying all his hard muscles.
“We have to trust her,” I said, the words tasting awful. “If she is going to run Christmas Town, we have to hope she is going to run the place well and keep herself safe.”
Boogie chuckled.
“How hard was it for you to say that?” he said, walking to me.
“Hard, every instinct is telling me she needs to be here with us and not running a fucking town,” I said, pulling him in so he straddled my lap. “But I know that isn’t what shewants and I have to, unfortunately, respect that.”
“You? Be respectful?” Boogie raised an eyebrow at me.
“Shut up, you know you feel the same.” I smacked his ass.
“I have this need to protect her, to keep her safe and do everything in my power to make it a reality, but when she’s bratty like this, it makes me want to spank her and make her listen to me,” he growled. “Why did we have to choose such a stubborn woman?”
“Do you think any other woman would be perfect for us?” I rubbed my nose against his.
He shook his head. “I hate that I want her to fail, but it also turns me on that she wants to run the town.”
“We just need to make sure her empire is strong enough to keep her safe and once that happens, maybe this feeling will go away?” I kissed Boogie, biting his lower lip as he ground himself into me.
“Make her invincible, give her a reputation that no one would dare fuck with her,” Boogie said in between kisses.
“Make everyone fear her,” I moaned, as his cock rubbed against my own.
