“I’m not going to sit up here and take your insults, Reno,” Jody said angrily. 

But Reno was angrier.  He slung a gun out of his pocket, put it underneath the table, and pressed the barrel against Jody’s testicles.  Jody wanted to jump out of the booth, but Reno pressed harder.

“You willing to sit up here now?” he asked him.

“Reno, this isn’t funny.”

“Funny?  You think I’m trying to be funny?  You think I play games, Joe?  You’ve known me a long time.  We used to run together, remember that?  Have you ever known me to play games?”

Jody was sweating now, as his heart was racing with fear and his eyes were watering from just the thought of what one wrong move by Reno’s hand could do to him.  He stared at Reno as if Reno was his lifeline.  “No,” he said.  “You don’t play games.”

“I do not.  Even as a child I couldn’t do it.  Hide-n-seek?  Fuck that.  Patty cakes?  I got your cakes right here!  But you get my point.  Don’t you, Joe?  If I wasn’t down with the game-playing as a kid, when the only thing a kid was good for was playing games, then imagine how much I hate it now?” 

Reno turned serious, and pressed the barrel of his gun harder against Jody’s testicles, causing Jody to wince in pain.  “Let me make myself perfectly clear,” he said.  “You like my wife.  I get that.  You think she’s attractive. I get that too.  You can think whatever you want to think about her.  You can love her slamming body, her pretty face, her fingernail polish for all I care.  It’s a free country and I don’t give a shit.  But if you think for a second you’re going to seduce her or entice her or so much as speak a cockeyed word against her, then you’ve got another thought coming, brother.”

Jody was staring at Reno.

“I don’t know why you decided to pay her a visit.  But I do know there’s a foul reason behind it.  You’ve wanted my wife from the moment I introduced her to you.  But I thought you were a loyal friend, and I dealt with that.  But you showed me what you were about.  You don’t know what loyalty means.  And all of this shit about you changing, yeah, right.  You change like a chameleon change.” 

Then Reno pressed the barrel even harder.  “Leave my wife alone,” he said.  “Stay away from her or the next time, Jody, I will release this trigger.  And there will be no question-and-answer session then.  Just your balls flying like fucking balloons away from your ass.”

Reno stared at him longer.  He remembered the man he used to know, and love.  He remembered the man who disrespected his wife and had to leave his inner circle.  And he hated that it had come to this, but it had come to this.  He was an enemy now.  There was no other way to view Jody Parks.  And Reno never underestimated his enemies.

But that didn’t mean it wasn’t painful. 

He withdrew the gun.  “Get the fuck out of my face,” he said, put his gun away, and then stood to let Jody out of the booth. 

Jody didn’t hesitate.  He stood up, without attempting to explain a damn thing, and took off.  He nearly ran out of that restaurant.

Once outside, he got in his car and took off.  He nervously scrambled for his cell phone, found the number he needed, and pressed Send.  He kept looking through his rearview mirror, to make sure none of Reno’s men were following him.  But even though he didn’t see a soul, he still felt antsy.

“What?” the voice said on the other end of the line.

“I told you that fucker was crazy!” Jody yelled.

“Calm yourself down and tell me what happened.  He showed up?”

“Hell yeah he showed up.  Put a gun to my balls, man,” Jody said, and the guy on the other end laughed.

“That shit ain’t funny!” Jody screamed. “I almost pissed in my pants!  Reno is crazy like that, I’m telling you.  You’re messing with the wrong fucking one!”

“You don’t tell me who I’m messing with!  I know his ass too.”  Then there was a pause.  “But I didn’t expect him to show up like that.”

“I didn’t either!  I couldn’t believe it.  It was working.  I was doing just like you said.  Her business was failing and I was selling her the answer.  And she was buying it big time.  Then Reno shows up and she clams up like everybody in that family does whenever he comes around.  And it was over.  He warned me to stay away from her, and I’m not about to try that man again.  He’s crazy, I’m telling you. He’ll blow my balls off just like he threatened.  He’s nuts!”

There was another pause.  “Okay,” the voice said. “We’ll have to come at it from a different angle.”

“What angle?”

“I don’t know yet.”

“I figure my work is done,” Jody said.  “I talked to her.  I would have regained her confidence if Reno wouldn’t have shown up.  Now it’s impossible.  I figure I’m done.”

“You figure wrong,” the voice said. “Your ass isn’t anywhere near done.  Nobody’s done until Reno falls.”

“Then shoot the motherfucker and drop his ass!  What’s with all of this subterfuge and shit?”

“What an idiot!  You think that’s all it takes?  A bullet?  I kill Reno, then what?  How is he going to suffer if he’s dead?  Knowing that joker I’ll probably be taking him out of his misery.  No.  We stick to the plan.”

“But the plan failed!”

“Plan B motherfucker!  Haven’t you ever heard of a plan B?”

Jody closed his eyes.  He was in bed with the devil.  He knew it when they first came to him.  He should have said no and let them ruin him right then and there.  Because if they didn’t play this exactly right, and if this so-called plan B failed too, he was going to be the one suffering.  And Reno was going to be the administrator of that suffering.

 

Within minutes of his departure, Trina returned to the table.  When she saw Jody was no longer sitting there, she hesitated.  Then sat down in the seat across from Reno.  She folded her arms.

“What did you say to him?” she asked him.

“What do you mean?”

“What did you say to him, Reno, you know what I mean.”

Reno leaned back.  “We talked, that’s all.”

“About me?”

“Yeah, about you.  So?  I talk about you all the time.”

“Do you follow me all the time?”

Reno hesitated.  “I told you I saw your car---”

“That’s bull, Reno!  You have ninety-nine places you need to be, but coming across town to this nothing restaurant isn’t one of them.  You wouldn’t be passing by this place unless you came by for a very specific reason.  One of your goons saw me with Jody and ran and told it to you like the spineless yes men every last one of them are.”

Reno frowned.  “Don’t you talk about my men that way.”

“I’ll talk about your men any
got
damn way I choose!  Especially if you’re going to have them following me everywhere I go.  I could understand if something was going down and you want your family protected.  I could understand that.  But nothing’s going on.  There’s no heat around you.  Yet you still have me followed like some
got
damn kid.  And I don’t like it!  Jody is an old friend.  He said something stupid once, yes, but that doesn’t mean he’s vile through and through the way you make it seem.  All he wanted to do was have dinner and talk about ways for me to improve my bottom line.  That’s all.  But now you ran him away too.  All he wanted was to talk, Reno.”

“Yeah, sure.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Just what I said.”

“What did he do that’s so wrong?”  Trina had a flustered look on her face right now.  “All we did was laugh and talk and come over here to have dinner.  That’s all he did.  What’s so wrong about that?”

Reno didn’t feel like arguing with her.  And she was right: he had too much to do than to sit up here trying to convince her that all of these so-called male friends of hers had one thing in mind for that friendship.  He began to rise.

“You’re going to just leave?  Tell me something, Reno!”

“Stay away from him,” Reno said firmly.  “How about that?”

“Why?”

“Because I said so.”

“Not good enough.  Why?”

“Because he wants to fuck you,” Reno said plainly.  “Is that good enough?” Then he paused, staring at her.  “I’ll have a car waiting for you after you have your dinner,” he said, and then he began to leave.  But then he turned back around, went to her, and kissed her on the lips.  He stared into her bright eyes.  “You’re going back to the store?” he asked her.

She exhaled.  “Yes,” she said.

“Okay.  But don’t get home too late,” he added, and leaned down to kiss her again.  But after he did, and was about to leave again, he looked back at her.  He knew he couldn’t just leave her alone like this.

He sat back down across from her.

“What are you doing?” she asked him.

“Having dinner with my wife.”

Trina shook her head.  What was she going to do with this infuriating man?  On the one hand she hated that he tracked her down like this.  But on the other hand she loved that he tracked her down like this.  She was with another man and he wanted to make sure that man meant right by her.  She didn’t like his tactics, but she loved him for caring enough. 

“Thanks,” she said.

He looked at her.  His blue eyes looked so innocent at that moment that her heart melted.  “Thanks for what?” he asked her.

“For coming to see about me,” she said. “There was nothing to come and see, but at least you cared enough to come.  I know how busy you are, Reno.  I know what’s on your plate.  And you still came.  You never send anybody else.  You come yourself.  And I appreciate that.  I appreciate
you
.”

Reno’s heart swelled with emotion.  This was why he loved this woman so much.  “Well,” he finally said, “you sure have a weird way of showing your appreciation.”

She smiled.

“But never fear,” Reno said, putting a napkin on his lap in preparation, “you can make up for it after dinner.”

“Oh, yeah?” Trina said with a smile.  “And how can I do that?”

“You can grant me the privilege of fucking your brains out later this evening,” he said, and he said it just as the young waitress arrived with their plates of food.  And she blushed so profoundly that Reno and Trina looked at each other, and then laughed.

 

After dinner and true to his word, Reno had Trina beneath him, in the king-sized bed of their Vegas penthouse, fucking her brains out.  Reno’s eyes were so hooded they looked as if they were closed as he fucked her.  Trina kept opening her legs wider, the only way she could keep them whenever Reno was doing her this hard, and she kept her eyes trained on him as he filled her with the thickness of his sex.  And he felt big and hard and overwhelming inside of her.  They clasped hands as he fucked her.

It was her body that was doing it for Reno.  He could never get enough of her body.  She infuriated him as much as he infuriated her, and he worried about her no end, but nobody was capable of soothing him the way Trina could.  Nobody.  She was worth every gray hair he was starting to grow. 

And that was how he felt as he wrapped her in his arms, laid his naked white body down on top of her naked black body, and began fucking her even harder.  She was worth it.  Everything he did for her was worth it.  And the way she made him feel.  He could hardly contain himself.  And he couldn’t stop fucking her.  A bomb could have exploded and he would not have been able to cease his gyrations.  He was deep inside of her, tearing through her folds like a guided missile, rubbing against her walls as if he knew all her secret hot spots and was hitting every one.  He loved this woman.  He loved every inch of this woman. 

He leaned up and stared at her as he fucked her.  He loved the way her hazel eyes contrasted with her dark skin.  He loved the way her bottom lip quivered every time his dick moved deeper inside of her.  He loved the way she responded every time he hit her hot spot.

He knew where her hottest spot was and he hit it repeatedly.  He worked that knowledge as if his life depended on it.  He slid back and forward along her vaginal walls with a force that made her arch and move and contort sideways.  She was crying out in euphoria.  She was claiming that it was too much to take.  But he wouldn’t let her go.  His muscles strained every inch of his body as he put it on her.  Her hotspots were on fire by the time he was done.

But he wasn’t done.  Not yet.  He kept stroking her and staring at her.  He couldn’t take his eyes off of her.  He placed both hands on the sides of her sweet face and began kissing her as he fucked her.  He tongued her with his kiss.  He was holding nothing back.  He was leaving it all inside of her. 

Trina loved how Reno pleased her.  Especially in bed.  He had no equal in bed.  There was always talk around Vegas about his sexual prowess.  There was always talk about how there was no way a man like Reno could be devoted to just one woman.  Such talk used to bother Trina.  She used to dread being that clueless wife who thought her husband was this great paragon of faithfulness when he was nothing but a dog in the street, fucking every female in sight, and every female, except the wife, knew it. 

But Trina wasn’t buying it.  Reno wasn’t perfect by any means, and there had been times when they had major issues in their marriage, but she knew how he reacted to her whenever she entered a room.  She knew how completely he made love to her whenever he entered her body.  She knew how much he loved her.  Her true friends often told her not to listen to the talk, and that those females were just jealous and wanted Reno for themselves.

Trina didn’t know what they wanted, and she didn’t care.  All she knew was that she had Reno.  Reno was hers.  And he was putting it on her so forcefully that there was no way this man could have sex with other women and still have this kind of power left when he got home to her.

And he kept putting it on her.  For over an hour he kept pushing his dick deeper into her cunt and putting it on her.  Until the feeling changed.  First it had been that sweet, underlying feeling of tension release.  But now that underlying feeling was bubbling to the surface.  Ready to break free.  And his steady strokes, his steady gyrations, turned hard. 

He began to pound.

Her orgasm came almost immediately with his faster stroke.  She was arching and crying out as he refused to relent from his thrashing.  He couldn’t relent.  He held onto Trina and fucked her hard.  That was why it remained such a heightened cum.  Because he wouldn’t relent.
