Ignite (The Disciples #4) - Cassandra Robbins Page 0,73
Little things like her ballet flats sit under a chair. Her lip glosses and phone remain where she left them on the island. I like all of this and I don’t have time to dissect why that is.
I need to at least check my messages since we passed out. There’s a text from David last night asking if Antoinette needs a bikini for today. A couple from my prospects who’ve been watching the dispensaries, informing me all is well.
The last one from Snipe saying to call him.
“Christ.” I brace myself. I wanted to have one nice day today. Dolly and Edge deserve it. Fuck it, we all deserve it. Pressing on his number, I wait for him to answer.
“Hey, brother. You up?” I walk over to my fridge and grab some OJ.
“Yep. Just got done running six miles.” His voice sounds smug.
“What you got for me?”
Snipe has an apartment on the beach in Malibu. He loves it. Swims, runs, meditates—all kinds of shit so that he can come to work and cut off a man’s fingers calmly. I can hear the waves in the background.
“I did an extensive search on her. All the father’s business partners and enemies are either in New York or overseas, and a bunch are retired.”
“Okay. So, we think the father’s enemies are not ours?”
“Yeah.” The phone goes silent.
“What Snipe?”
“I feel bad for her. She could have been a prima ballerina.”
I look out my window as his words sink in. “Anything else?”
“Just that. She had a future in the ballet world and in one night, her life changed.”
“Nobody gets a fucking rose garden, Snipe. You should know that.”
“True. You want me to keep digging?”
I walk into my bedroom and glance at her. Her blond hair spills over the side of the bed as she sleeps.
“Axel? You still there?”
“No. But I do want one of our best guys to tail her. Whenever she’s not with me, he’s with her.”
“I told you she’s in the clear.” He sighs.
“And I said I want someone watching her.”
“You know we’re stretched thin with all the extra security at the grow houses.”
“Get it done. Hire the best. Let me know who it’s gonna be.” I take one last inhale.
“I’ll get on it. You’re making me nervous with all this shit going on.”
“No surprises.” I hang up.
The air conditioner clicks on and it’s not yet 8:00 a.m. But it’s been a pretty mild summer so far, and we’re due for some heat.
She rolls over, kicking the covers off one side of her. The bedroom smells like us and sex. I put out my cigarette and climb over her, tossing the rest of the sheet aside.
“Axel.” She groans as I open her legs. Her pussy is pink and swollen from our harsh fucking last night. I open her folds and she moans as I lick her from the top of her clit all the way to her tiny rosette hole.
“Keep your eyes closed.”
Gasping, she tightens her legs and I grin.
“Oh God.” She throws a hand over her eyes as I lower my head, my tongue swirling around her plump nub.
“Axel,” she moans.
“Yeah, baby?”
She moans my name again, this time at a higher pitch. Reaching down, she laces her fingers through my hair, her hips moving to the rhythm of my tongue.
“Shh, I haven’t had my breakfast yet,” I mumble as I suck then roughly jerk her pussy deep into my mouth and eat her until she screams.
ANTOINETTE
As I stare at myself in the mirror, I admire the cute white sundress I’m wearing for the party. Technically, it was Bella’s, but in my frantic packing, I ended up with it. Guess it’s mine now.
My lips seem permanently plump thanks to Axel sucking on them so often. Leaning forward, I outline my eyes with some dark bronze purple, which makes their blue-violet color pop, and add a final layer of mascara. There’s pounding at the door along with Cindy’s loud mouth.
“Antoinette. Get your skinny ass out here. I’m here for you,” she yells again, and I can’t help but smile. She’s a good one even if she hates Axel and Ryder… well, all the Disciples.
I slather on some shimmery pink gloss that stings my lips—that’s how sore they are—and turn off the light as I open the door.
“Thank God. You need to help me get some water in her. She’s already threatened to spit in Ryder’s face if he comes near her.”
Charlie sashays in. “Also, Eve is getting ready to show up with Dolly and she
