Ray's POV

“What are you doing here?” Jake asked, stepping out of the bathroom with drops of water falling free down his chest and his hair wet shattered across his forehead.

Ray paused.

Letting his eyes trail Jake's body from his brown oily dripping hair, down to his toes then back to his face.

A spread of heat clawed under his skin, burning down to his cock area.

The heel of his leather shoes clicked hard on the wooden board of the floor as he made his way slowly towards Jake.

    Jake's POV.“What the actual fuck, Enzo, you dated Ray?”Jake stood across his cousin with a crimson face and boiling blood rushing through his veins.“It was a long time ago,” Enzo blurted out dismissively and made for the closet.“You didn't think to tell me?”Enzo paused and turned to the other side of the room.Then sank into the leather couch in the corner and pulled out a wrap of weed from his pocket, smudging it as he reached for the lighter on the table.“He was supposed to tell you.” he clutched his chest and made an overly dramatic gasp. “he didn't?”Jake ground his teeth hard. “I'm not playing here, Enzo. I feel hurt and betrayed.”Enzo's brow knotted, “betrayed.”“Yes, you have been playing both sides.”Enzo rolled his eyes. “Don't be dramatic; besides, you shouldn't be angry at just me. Ray is responsible too.”Jake stomped his foot on the floor. “Start talking”.Enzo raised his hands into the air. “ok, fine, we dated 8 years ago. He was in the hood then, and…” he shrugge

    Ray's POV.“Boss, Jake followed some bike guy out of the airport,” the guard Ray sent to trail Jake reported.Ray leaned lazily on his fist, spreading himself on the center couch in the sitting room.“I didn't follow because it seemed planned; he followed the bikers after a quick phone conversation with someone”.Ray's brow arched.“But he doesn't have any phone on him.”“He used the biker's burner phone.”Ray nodded, “he's chosen his path.” A sting of pain excruciated from Ray's chest; the thought of Jake being away suddenly felt unsettling.Like he lost something he had just gotten.But he consoled himself by believing that Jake was probably still in town and wasn't collaborating with Ricky.He waved his hands dismissively, and the soldier walked away.Reaching for the burner phone on the table, he dialed a number from his oregular phone.“Hello,” Ray's voice echoed in the phone.“Who’s this?” Ricky's voice rang back.Ray chuckled drily, “For someone who's been on my tail, I'm disa

    Henry's POV.“Guess what?” Frank ran into the room holding a cell phone.“What?” Henry replied drily, his eyes buried in the lit-up screen of his laptop.“Just this morning I have gotten 6 calls from small brands willing to come on board” Frank clicked his tongue.Henry looked above his laptop to meet eyes with Frank, “Don't play with me now”Frank walked around the office to where Henry sat and scrolled the cellphone in his hand.“We are back in business baby” he exclaimed and hugged Henry.Henry stayed for a split second and shook Frank off when the thought of Ray suddenly coming in flashed in his head.Luckily Frank nudged it off with all the excitement he had bubbling inside.“We finally have work to do, I'll go back to my desk right away,” Frank blew him a kiss and made his way out of the room.With his door shut and Frank on the other side of the door, Henry threw a fist into the air as he exclaimed.“Ray would be so proud of me right now”He pushed some stacks of paper on the f

    Jake POV“How long till we're there?” Jake asked clutching onto the motorbiker's leather jacket and his breath.The guy was insanely above the speed limit, but nobody else seemed to care, except Jake and his bike helmet.“Soon” the driver muttered.In 45 minutes Jake was standing in what felt like a lair.Only this time the lair was filled with men weighing, testing, and packaging drugs.Jake's stomach twisted as the stench of weed and cocaine wafted into his nostrils.“Hello brother,” Enzo called out as he walked into the room.Jake let out a forced grin as Enzo launched him into an embrace.“Welcome,” Enzo exclaimed.Jake's brow knotted. Something didn't feel right “Enzo, what about Matt”Enzo pulled away from the embrace and turned back in the direction he came.Jake followed.“He didn't make it,” Enzo responded finally, clutching the glass of whiskey he had just poured himself from a half-empty bottle in a room Jake later found out was his.Jake's fingers ran through his hair.Enz

    Jake's POVRay leaned lazily on the door frame, with dark circles under his eyes as he peeped into the room.“You look tired” Jake said, trying to mask the concern in his voice, “not that I care”Ray’s face was expressionless.“Get up, we are leaving”Jake's forehead creased, “You can't just order me around, I'm not your child”Ray chuckled drily, “I'll drag you if I have to, don't taunt me”Something in Jake's stomach twisted.The last few days he had spent on the hospital freaking bed gave him enough time to think.“What are we?” Jake blurted.Ray's brow arched.“Really, I want to know” he paused and swallowed the lump in his chest, the last bit of his self-respect.“You think you can just have me anytime you want and order me around like I'm some….”“Whore” Ray interjected, “some lowlife whore, that's all you are to me”Jake's stomach rumbled, and his chest suddenly felt heavy.A pang of tears formed on the corner of his eyes, “ok” the words choked in his throat.Ray blinked hard,

    Ricky's POV.Ricky's finger trailed down from the stripper's lips to his budge.The thin fabric over the stripper's clutch barely covered his hard-on.He had spotted him dancing on the pole about 5 minutes ago and paid for him to be sent to his private chamber at the club.“Get on your knees” Ricky ordered, his breath landing hot on the toned-skinned stripper.He obeyed, dropping to his knees with his eyes directly lasered on Ricky's clutch area and his breath landing hot on the surface of Ricky's pants, sending a burning sensation through his spine.The stripper's tongue traced the contours of Ricky's bulge as his hands fiddled with his belt.Ricky let out a growl.His hands combed through the stripper's hair and clutched it tightly.“You are a naughty boy” Ricky purred.His pants spooled on the floor and his dick sprang out bedded with precum.He watched as the stripper's eyes widened, his mouth dropped almost drooling.A wicked smile played on Rick's lips,“I'll fuck your face hard”
