I look at Mason in disbelief, "Mason, somebody better be dead or fucking dying."
"Sorry, Hunter, but we have a, well, that man has, you know what?"
"No, I do not know what."
Only then do I realize that I am still firmly holding onto a very confused Raven's hand. Now, I do not think I wish to scare the girl to death with the shit that I get up to, well, not yet.
So with utter frustration, I turn to her, I was so goddamn close, and now I am the one that is going to do the running. "Princess," I watch as she raises that eyebrow but just the slightest of hint. "Raven, I am afraid that I need to go. Please tell me that I will see you again."
"Well, that is just something you have to wait and see. Now go do your Mafia business or whatever it is that Hunter King does."
"Princess," and as she cocks that little head, I can only but smile, but god, the inner chuckle is what scares the shit out of me the most.
With a brief kiss on her soft cheek that sends more tingles down my spine than anywhere else that it should, I make my leave from the table.
Not even before we are out the back door is give Mason a firm slap against the head, "Could you not have waited one damn minute. What has got your knickers in a knot?"
"Antoni has intercepted a shipment."
"Fuck, the man has balls, but why are you calling me for it?"
"Well, I could not particularly tell you that in front of the girl."
"So, you call me out into an alley to tell me this?"
I have the greatest desire to, at this very moment, to smash a hand that was so eager to touch Raven into his damn face. "Now, what do you expect me to do about it? Must I fucking do your job for you too now?"
"Hunter, I just thought…"
"No, that is where you are wrong; you did not think. Now, if I get back into that club and Raven is gone, then I am going to do more than just slap you against the head."
With that, I turn on my heels to head back into the club, but just as I am about to fling the door open, someone walks smack bang into my chest. Immediately the honey and hint of vanilla attack my senses. As I gently pull away, I look into those piercing brown eyes.
"Princess, what are you doing out here?"
"God, not you again. You like a damn…you are everywhere. I was trying to do the same thing as you, but it seems that you were only playing me for a fool. Next time you don't want to be in someone's company, just say it. Don't get your lapdog to pull you away."
She struggles with great protest to pull away from my grip; there is no way that I am letting her disappear down this alley…wait…
"Princess, why are you forever disappearing off into an alley?"
"It is so I don't run into creeps like you."
"You will find worse things than creeps out here. Please come back inside with me."
"What, so you can disappear in an hour again? Exactly what am I interrupting out here? You waiting for your next flavor for tonight?"
"Come on, that is not fair; you know that I want to be with you."
She only but grunts as she tries to break free. Does this girl not know that I am not letting her go anywhere.
But much to my even further frustration, a goddamn smirk ass face Mason is still standing and watching me, "Go sort your shit out."
With that, I am once again left with my beauty in the last place I ever want her to be. Then finally, I let go of her and step one step back so my gaze can meet her eyes.
All I wish is to reach out and touch her again; I want to run my finger over those soft lips. To think that I was so close to them just now, so close that our bodies nearly melted into one. Here is this girl that has taken away all my senses. I know that what I am feeling for her should be wrong, but right now, wrong surely feels so good.
"So," I push my hands into my pockets. I look down at my feet and go all damn fucking soft. I can barely look her in the eyes. I have never had a woman that made me felt this way, yet this feeling, I want more of it. "So, princess, will you please…"
"You had your chance Mr. King; you blew it by running away."
"I did not run; I just had things; well, there are things that need my attention sometimes."
"I don't know what shit you are into, Hunter, but somehow I feel it is not the same kind that I should get involved..."
I interrupt her; I know that it utterly frustrates her, but watching how she bites into that lips when I do, is worth every moment of the anticipation of being slapped.
"Please, please," I stumble on my words, not knowing what else I can say to convince her, "Please can you come back inside."
"Sorry, Hunter. I…"
I interrupt her once more, "You really don't have to stay long. Just for a short while still. I just…"
She steps a slight bit forward and gently reaches out to touch my hand. A million sensations shock me to my core. Even though she is cold, her hands are as soft as feathers. Then she takes my ring and twists it around my finger.
"What I am trying to say is, I don't think it is a good idea for a girl like me to get involved with a man like you."
Her eyes seem sincere as she looks at me with a concern that could pierce me deep within my soul. She has not yet let go of my hand; I feel as she gently squeezes my palm. The comfort brings a smile to my face, and she immediately lets go. Her finger drags softly down my forearm, leaving tingles on my skin. I must fight every ounce of me not to grab hold of her hand once again.'
I manage to hook my fingers into hers again; she looks at me shyly but does not let go. The desire to feel her skin touch mine in any way is the only thought that plays through my mind.
I move a slight step closer to her. She wants to move away, but she seems not to either. She notices the amusement in my eyes. Then I find my hand wandering to her lips. They are the only thing that I have been craving to touch the whole night. As I run my thumb across them, I can feel her slightly tremble, "Are you sure you do not want to come inside?"
I step even closer and closer, close enough to feel her warmth radiate from her skin. All I need to do is lean in, but an inch and mine would lay softly against her. But mine is trembling too goddamn much, and there is nothing I want more than ours to tremble together.
She immediately notices that she has been staring at my lips for but a fraction too long; I can feel that tingling in my spine shoot straight down to my core. Every desire I have in my body wants to pin her against that wall. This is nothing I crave more than for my hand to explore that body. But yet, I need to compose myself with restraint. This is not a girl that is going to give in so easily.
As we finally break our gaze, I softly lean forwards and whispers in her ear.
"Princess, only one more minute."
"You have had an hour already."
With that, she pushes past me and walks off into the alley…
I have never been able to control my temper; it is just one of those things that Hunter King cannot do. Now, I find myself furious and pissed off at Antoni. If there is one thing that I cannot stand, it is a man that makes a ripple in my pond. You do not take my shit and get away with it.Now I cannot just kill a man because he does not know how to keep his greedy fingers to himself. But, I am not going to sit back and wait for Antoni to do it again. I will, and at this very moment, I am on my way to try and express to him what a big mistake he has made.Am I being reckless? Yes, of course, there is no reasoning with me when I find myself when I am boiling over from anger. I know that it would have been a fairly good idea to have brought Mason with me, but I was too one-tracked-minded to make a sensible decision.So it is with great confidence but a nagging voice in the back of my head that I find myself driving to Antoni’s Mansion. The man has a rather im
They say a man’s life flashes before his eyes when he is staring death in the face; well, I say it is bullshit. All that is staring me in the face are the barrels of four Rugers. Now, did I foresee this happening? Well, of course, I did not come here to have a goddamn tea party. What was a casual exchange of threats has now only stepped up one level to where I am about to have my head blown off. Yet, Antoni underestimates my determination.I have come too far and too long to where I am; there shall be no one that crosses me. Now, if Antoni does not want to listen, then I shall kindly remind him again.“You can go right ahead and blow my brains out as much as you like, but you will return my property.”Well, now if I thought that he would listen, it only makes him more furious. With somewhat of a slight tremble, his voice reaches a pitch higher and echoes to every corner of the room, “Oh, believe me, I am going to blow your brains out, and
I am not a man that is easily taken by surprise. I plan every step and every move I make; it is planned down to the very last detail. Nothing ever falters or catches me off guard. Should a plan fail, it only proves to me that I was weak; I was a coward making the wrong decisions.The only thing you can be sure of is yourself. What changes is everything else. The choices and the decisions that you make will remain the same. The only certainties in this business are power. But that too can change; as for me, I constantly want more.Now the measures that you will go to achieve these things do measure you as a man. I believe that if you play it safe, then you will remain to crawl on the floor. Down there, all you do is sit and wait and let fate decide what will happen next. But the thing with fate is that it takes you down that road you ever so often avoid taking.Well, I am not that man; Hunter King is not a coward, nor does he crawl on the floor. Hunter King is ru
My life is filled with unpredictability. The choices that I choose to make today mostly do count in my favor, but there is that one that turns around and causes a ripple in the pond. Now, do I wish that I listen to my second-in-command? Well, most of the time, Hunter King sees himself as to know absolutely all there is to know. Yet, this time I seem to have underestimated myself again. The very thing that Mason warned me against, I went out and set to do. I often find myself doing as I please. This has now lead to that very problem that Mason advised me against.Killing Antoni was purely revenge; I would not even go as far as to say that it was for business, for the man took what was mine, and I merely went back to collect it. This has now set the wheels in motion for what is perhaps a minor little war. And I, Hunter King, find myself at the top of it. So to say that I am happy with what I achieved would be, in some parts, a lie, for I truly do not feel the need to have every
A split moment, an inch of a second, that is all it takes to make a fateful mistake or rise to an occasion. Whichever you are faced with while that clock ticks, it will be a defining moment. It will be a moment that defines who you are, and most of all, whom you become.Now, as Hunter King, I have had my fair share of these moments, and I have always risen from the fire and come out a better version of who I can be. One might think that you cannot get any more ruthless than you are, yet if you set your mind to it firmly, you will be proven wrong every time.I have come too far and too long to get where I am; I have done things that no man shall ever even consider. I have made Hunter King, and I worked fucking hard to make him. There shall be no one that will disrespect me nor think that he can upset the balance of things. There is a way they work, and in my world, which you will find yourself in, it always works my way.Now, Hunter King never gets caught off gua
Raven has made it very clear that she wishes to have nothing to do with me. What we had, even though so brief, lies in ruin. She truly does have all the reason to be so upset with me, for I have never been able to control my temper, yet I wish to see it as not being able to stand another man touching what is mine. The mere fact is that is I only wish to protect her from the scum that finds themselves below there. Why she insists on dancing between them is truly something that I do not understand.However, one thing that grabbed my attention was her near admission that I am the same as her father. She made her exit rather elegantly soon after the slip of her tongue. Well, I shall, in my own time, let her know that I have full knowledge of whom her father is. Then I am afraid that she will know who Hunter King truly is, but I am finding it hard to believe that she does not already know.What else I am sure she knows by this time is that her body must be craving me the sa
It has been a week since I have last seen Raven. My body has not forgotten the craving that I feel for her, the absolute desire. I know her body desires me, but that mind that always gets in the way soon pushes me aside. Who would have thought that her stubbornness runs so deep? My irritation has grown past a level that I cannot handle. So much to my own very annoyance, I find myself staring at the dance floor as I have done so for the past week. Then a few moments later, I see her coming through the door with another man on her arms. I will rip this man apart if he so much as lays his lips on her. But then again, I do not have the right. Yet, the way she carries herself as she walks onto that dance floor in those goddamn stilettos drives me insane every time. Deep red, why did she decide to deep red today? Why does she do this to me every time I need to stay mad? Mason only but looks at me with an amused smile on his godawful face, “Hunter, you are going pop
She is an absolute sight to behold. She is wearing a black dress with a low halter so one can see the cleavage of her flawless supple breasts. It flows tightly over her waist and ends fittingly just a hand's length under her heart-shaped ass. She has the longest sculpted legs that are being held up by deep red stilettos. In front of me, I have Raven, with her soft velvety lips; I watch as she gently nips at them. God, I think that I have just died a slow death. She is taking the satisfaction that she has over this trembling body and pushing it to a new height of torment. Not only has she awaken that beast that is raging with an aching fire, but she has fed that desire to live on the edge of danger. And it is with this determination to conquer that I softly take her hand into mine, “Please come with me?” She immediately protests, but I am not yet to give up tonight, “Please, we both know that you want to.” “Oh,” she softly chuckles, “What makes you think that I want to go with you, M
