“How quick?”
“Real quick.”
“I’m not sure I want quick.”
His face went into my neck. “You don’t have much choice,” he said in my ear which made me shiver. Then I felt his tongue touch me and slide down my neck to my collarbone which made me shiver more.
“Is quick good?” I asked.
“It can be,” he said at the base of my throat then he touched me between my legs and I sucked in breath.
His mouth came to mine and I could feel he was smiling, pleased about something.
He looked in my eyes and said, “Christ, you’re always wet.”
“Is that good?”
“Fuck yeah.”
“I think it happened when you told me to take off my underwear,” I informed him helpfully.
His finger slid inside me. “I’ll remember that.”
My hands pushed into his jeans and I ran them over his ass. I was done talking and so was Vance.
And, for your information, quick could be good.

It was near to the end of the day when my cell rang.
It was sitting on my desk and the display said “Crowe calling.”
Looking at it, I smiled.

Vance had called me in the morning to give me the lowdown on Shard, Clarence and Jermaine
Apparently Mace had done his job well. This was because Luke and Ike felt like getting in on the act. So they’d all done their job well. They’d done it job so well, Shard, Clarence and Jermaine not only decided not to f**k with me, they also decided that maybe Denver wasn’t for them. Luke, Mace and Ike had convinced them to try their luck at ruining other people’s lives somewhere outside the Mile High City. They weren’t only leaving town, they already left. Vance knew this because Mace, Ike and Luke had escorted them to the city limits.
This made me feel weird. It was weird because I felt safe and protected but I also felt badly that they likely had to commit acts of violence in order to make me feel safe and protected.
I spent the morning struggling with that.
Since I figured Shard, Clarence and Jermaine had destroyed a number of lives by the time the clock struck twelve, I got over it.
Then I called Luke.
“Babe,” he answered.
“I don’t know what to say.”
Silence then, “I’m guessin’ you’re talkin’ about the boys.”
“I’m talking about what you and Mace and Ike did for me. I feel like I should do something to repay you.”
“Not necessary.”
