damn Adonis, and I realize I’m wearing a
goofy smile. Dino creates a feeling of high-school-crush silliness in me.
“Are you sleepy?” he asks as the palm of his hand
glides over my ass.
“No.”
“I was thinking about how Black tried to kill you
today.”
“And you.”
“Yeah, but it’s my job to protect you.”
I consider bitching about this comment but decide
to give him a break.
“What were you thinking?” I mumble.
“He took over the meth business in Common Bend, and Cooper gave us the location of his main producer. At this time in the morning, I
bet the cops are relaxed. We could drive into town, hit the meth lab, and get
out before most people wake for work.”
Turning over, I sit up and smile at him. “Devious
is sexy on you.”
His hand goes to his cock, and he gives me a low
groan. “Now I’m going to be hard for the entire job.”
“Sorry, baby,” I say, giving him a quick kiss
before rolling out of bed. “I want to start trouble.”
Dino follows me, and his cock remains rock-hard
when he eases the thick muscle into his boxers. We both dress all in black and
arm up with military grade weapons. They’re unnecessary for tweakers, but if
the cops show up, we’ll need the firepower to escape Common Bend.
“If shit gets dicey,” Dino says as we drive in the
still-dark morning, “you bail. I’ll take the heat.”
“Okay. I’ll miss you.”
Dino frowns at me. “I’m not kidding.”
“Neither am I. You’re very memorable.”
“Don’t get killed or arrested.”
“Never occurred to me to do either.”
Scowling, he grunts, “Well, just don’t.”
“Okay. You should stay alive and free too. You
know, if that works for you.”
“Again you’re playing around when I’m serious.”
“It’s either playing around or telling you to fuck
the fuck off for telling me how to do my fucking job.”
“You sound like Hayes.”
“He doesn’t own the word ‘fuck.’”
Dino makes a noise that sounds like the lovechild
of a sigh and a growl. I caress his jaw, enjoying how the rough facial hair
teases my palm.
“I’ll kick ass, and you’ll kick ass. We’ll finish
the job and then return to the hotel to fuck and sleep. I don’t know why you
need to make it any more complicated than that, Dino.”
“Because I’m the man, Apples.”
“You’re a man. That’s true.”
Dino glares at the road, making me smile. He’s so
damn adorable when he acts as if his big dick puts him in charge.
We remain silent on the drive to Common Bend. Dino
parks near our destination, on a street lined with cars. We’ll blend in fine as
long as we return before the sun is up.
After a short, brisk walk, we arrive at the Harvest Fields Trailer Park. The meth lab is located at the back of the property, nestled
near thick woods. The other trailers have been moved awkwardly away from our
destination. Clearly, the locals know the place isn’t safe. How happy will
they be in a few hours when they learn their meth-cooking neighbors are gone?
Dressed all in black, Dino is the picture of sexy
badassery. I want to hump him hard, but work calls. He tugs down his mask and
hides his handsome mug. Once I do the same, we’re on the move.
Dino runs for the trailer where all of the lights
are on. He takes a chance with the door being unlocked gets lucky. These guys
don’t expect anyone to fuck with them. Not when they have the Sheriff’s
Department watching their backs.
First through the door, Dino knocks one guy on his
ass and fires on a second one. His voice remains steady and quiet, even while
threatening to kill them for breathing.
I move past him and into a back room. One tweaker
is on the bed, playing with his puny dick. He doesn’t react when I enter. Too
high to know he’s about to die, he only smiles at the battered woman sitting on
the bed.
She sees me and inhales roughly. I take in the
sight of her and the tied up women on the other side of the room.
