smart enough to bail yourself out,” Ian finished completely ignoring the pain he now saw in her face.
“Ice, please,” Kaitlyn began as he kissed her again.
“No,” Ian said evenly already knowing what she was going to ask. “Tweety did this to herself KiKi,” he returned still holding her and caressing her body. “What is KiKi going to do?”
Kaitlyn was in too much pain to talk. Ian was standing in front of her calmly talking about killing her best friend. He’s offering you continued life and everything you’ve ever wanted to enjoy it too, her mind kicked in. Kaitlyn felt like a complete fraud. She honestly had to admit right now saving her own life was more important than her friend. Tell him no, don’t sell out your girl, her mind told her as Ian’s hand slipped between her legs. Returning to her lips, Ian kissed her once more.
“Yes or No, KiKi,” he questioned waiting tolerantly for an answer.
Swallowing hard once more, Kaitlyn sighed deeply and answered his question.
“Yes,” she said softly looking Ian in the eye, a mixture of guilt and relief flooding her mind as Ian smiled and kissed her again leading her to the bed, undressing and climbing in with her.
Ian began kissing her lips gently, moving down her neck to her breasts, taking one of her nipples in his mouth and licking it. Kaitlyn moaned deeply, Ian’s actions turning her on. Returning to her lips, they began to kiss again as Ian felt her hands eagerly caressing his body.
Kaitlyn took his fully erect member in her hands, sighing lightly as she held it. Ian kissed her again and moved on top of her. She guided him to her entrance and he entered her. Kaitlyn moaned again with pleasure as Ian began to thrust into her, kissing her neck gently as he made love to her. Kaitlyn felt the heat rising in her body and knew she was nearing orgasm. No sooner had the thought left her mind than she felt the tremendous rush of pleasure. She cried out his name in ecstasy, as Ian came hard behind her, groaning loudly.
Thank God for the pill, Kaitlyn thought, remembering the condom as an afterthought. She was lying on his huge chest as he held her, stroking her face gently. What the hell just happened here, she asked herself trying to get a handle on the turn of events that had taken place. She was getting a headache trying to sort it all out right now. Kaitlyn closed her eyes instead, deciding she would deal with it all later.
Ian held her and looked at the ceiling. His mind was already racing ahead to killing Jaleesa. I’ma let that bitch squirm for a while, let her think she’s still runnin’ the show, he thought ominously before glancing down at Kaitlyn asleep on his chest. Gonna hafta send you on a little trip while I handle some immediate business, Ian thought as Landon and Tariq came instantly to mind. Kaitlyn stirred slightly, repositioning herself, and quickly drifted off again. Pushing everything else out of his mind for now and enjoying her presence Ian closed his eyes and allowed himself to relax and sleep.

“You need to stop thinking about Ice and get your life back together,” Yvette was telling her cousin as they entered the club.
Shelby knew she was trying to help, but Yvette didn’t understand the depth of emotion she carried for Ice. She’d seen him a couple of times in the last month since the beating. Though he hadn’t been social, he hadn’t chased her or kicked her ass again either. Taking a deep breath trying to calm her nerves, Shelby sat down in the booth Yvette led her to. She ordered an apple martini and tried to relax, the warning Ian gave her about coming to the club looming large in her mind’s eye.
Ice had to still love her; he just had to, Shelby thought as she sighed deeply. If only she could talk to him without him getting angry. Sipping her drink Shelby continued to watch the various patrons as she and Yvette conversed, all the while keeping a wary eye for Ice. The time of limbo wasn’t long as
