My ministrations continue over and over until I know she is on the precipice. Sucking once more, I lift my head and step back, pulling her up with me. “Alright baby, now you can go. Patting her ass I sent her upstairs. As soon as I hear the door slam, I turn back to the dead fuck, whose mouth is hanging open. Pointing toward the door, I simply say, “Now that is pussy.” my finger taps the trigger of my gun twice. Tap. Tap. putting two between his eyes. “Anyone else have something they want to bring to me?” rushing out of their seat, they trip over themselves running out the door.
“Boss.” Click says walking in.
“Have Connie send over a new rug ASAP and take care of this.” I can’t have my woman seeing this shit. One down. Two to go.

Jewel
Three Weeks later
Things have been pretty calm the last few weeks. Well, at least as far as I can see. I am not saying things are not tense because they are, but there has been no violence. Dario has finally gone back to work, and we have fallen into a routine. Some days I go to work with him if I have nothing going on with his sister or mom. The days I don’t go to work with him are spent dress shopping or wedding planning. To be honest, it has been bliss. Like today, I am in the middle of Vera Wang with mama Cara and Karla. Apparently, she is the only option for bridal gowns. I know nothing about this stuff, so I am giving them the go ahead. I don’t actually care about the details. I just want the man.
“What do you think about this one, Jewel?” Karla holds up a really pretty princess type of dress with rhinestones for the bodice and a sheer skirt with a white slip. It is beautiful.
“I like it. It’s gorgeous.”
“You have said that about the last four dresses, hun. You have to choose which ones you want to try on.” I yawn as she tries to show me yet another one and instantly, I feel like shit.
“I am so sorry. Oh my gosh. I am just so exhausted lately. I swear it was not about this.”
“Hush. I know that. I am sure my son has been keeping you up late at night.” She winks at me and I have to cover my mouth to hide the laugh. Karla rolls her eyes and giggles. We spend another hour or so looking for shoes and flowers before I finally had enough.
“Ladies I am done for the day. You guys are like shopping junkies. I can’t keep up.” I tell them laughing and hugging them both. We talk and laugh as we walk to our cars, oblivious to everything around us. As I say goodbye to them at the car door, it doesn’t hit me that Anais is not greeting me at the car until Karla opens the door for me. Once inside, I press the button for the partition and am shocked to not see her in the driver seat.
“Hi. Where is Anais? I wasn’t informed she was not going to be escorting me.” I pull out my phone immediately and note there are some missed calls from Dario. My phone never rang. I attempt to call him back a few times, but the line is busy.
“I am sure the Boss was planning to inform you. Anais had an emergency. I am just filling in until the Boss comes home.” Something doesn’t feel right but then again, I recognize him from the night in the warehouse, so I guess it makes sense. We don’t converse for the rest of the ride which is fine by me. I am way too tired to talk. “Ma’am, we are here.” my eyes open and I jump up.
“Thank you. Did Dario happen to call while I was asleep?”
“No ma’am.” Hmm. Grabbing the two bags I have; I walk in the house and note that it is eerily quiet. Don’t get me wrong, it is not busy normally, but something just seems ominous. Grabbing the phone, I dial Dario’s number once more and it is still busy. Trying his office phone, I get the same outcome. My nerves begin to wake up. Now I know something is wrong. He has never been unreachable to me. Ever. Something is not right. I walk down to his home office and try the drawers, looking for the numbers to the other guys but all of the drawers are locked. Oh God. What if something has happened to him? How would I even know? Calm down, Jewel. He is fine. There has to be a reasonable explanation for this. There has to be. I can’t allow myself to think of the alternative. Deciding I need a shower to calm me, I take a long one, giving myself a second to calm down and regroup. Once I am out, I put on one of his Lil Wayne shirts and lay down.
