Thin Ice 4 - Resurrections (27 page)

         
The bathroom door opened and Seth came back into the room, pants on, searching for a shirt.

“
Wassup,” he greeted Victor, seeing him awake finally.

“
Wassup man,” Victor returned.

Seth grunted, finding his shirt and putting it on. “I called Gram’s mama last night,” he told Victor.

He frowned slightly thinking of the man dying yesterday.

“
So what you wanna do now,” he asked, wanting to know where Seth’s head was.

Yesterday was total chaos. The police had hit the townhouse hard and fast. The other men had somehow managed to escape without harm obviously, but for Victor and Seth it’d been a nightmare. He’d grabbed Seth’s arm pulling him toward the upstairs as Gram exchanged fire downstairs.
“Why are we up here,” Seth asked once they arrived. “Cause they are all down there,” Victor replied, quickly looking outside and noticing all the officers were obviously inside. “Come on,” he told Seth opening the window. “Man, they’re gonna be down there waiting for us,” Seth replied. Victor assured him all the cops were inside and they had a great chance to escape. “See that building right there,” he told him pointing. Seth looked seeing the new unoccupied units across from the one they were occupying and nodded. “That’s where we’re going,” Victor told him, going through the window.

         
Frankly Victor hadn’t given a damn whether Seth followed or not. A part of him had hoped the police caught him or he injured himself from the jump and couldn’t escape. That hadn’t happened though. Seth had landed, cat like, on the ground right next to him after he jumped. They quickly glanced around and made their dash to temporary safety. Casually making their way to the front of the complex, they walked right out of the gate without being accosted. They walked the half mile to the gas station, going inside the small restroom and cleaning themselves up from the white foam of the fire extinguisher. Their luck continued to hold as they found a cab parked at one of the pumps and hired him to take them away from the scene. Questioning the driver, he gave them information on cheap extended stay hotels, dropping them off at one of the seedier ones in, what they found out, was the SouthWest portion of the city.
We’ll blend in over here just fine,
Victor thought, recalling some of the characters he’d seen since they checked in yesterday.

“
After you shower and dress, we’re going out,” Seth told him breaking his thought once more. “We need to see what we can find out about those guys, and where the hell Gabrielle is now,” he growled, still angry as hell.

Here we go again,
Victor thought tiredly, rising and heading into the bathroom, closing the door and shutting out the craziness of Seth’s world, at least temporarily.

The sharp rap on the door pissed her off and Tyashia jumped from bed, .9mm in hand, headed to her front door.

“
Who the fuck is it,” she asked angrily.

“
Girl, open the door, mean ass,” Jacoury replied as she smiled slightly, putting the gun on the counter before she did.

He walked in smiling, hugging her tightly. “Why you so grouchy,” he asked, kissing her softly as she pushed him away.

“
Cause its early, and you’re not supposed to be here,” Tyashia replied, walking away, headed to her bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth.

Jacoury continued to chuckle as she did, seeing the gun and picking it up. Checking it, he saw that it was indeed loaded.
I need to find out what’s up with this girl for real,
he thought as she returned to him.

“
Why didn’t you tell me you were coming home,” she asked, giving him a real kiss this time.

“
It was spur of the moment,” Jacoury answered honestly.

He and Ramell had chatted about it last night and he’d caught an early morning flight. He was leaving later today and returning to Atlanta.

          “
I heard I missed the main event the other day,” he told her, giving her a smirk. Tyashia sucked her teeth, rolling her eyes playfully.

“
What happened,” Jacoury asked, becoming serious.

She recounted the incident, apologizing for losing her temper.

“
Its cool baby,” he replied, kissing her again. “They’re gonna hafta learn to respect you and who you are to me,” he told her as those alarms began to ring for Tyashia again.

“
I found some stuff in the books you should look at too,” she told him, changing the subject and calming her nerves.

“
Like what,” Jacoury asked.

She went on to enlighten him of the discrepancies and that by her count he and Ramell were well short almost 100K.

“
Are you shittin’ me,” he asked angrily.

“
That’s what I’ve found so far,” Tyashia replied calmly.

“
His ass is dead,” Jacoury growled, referring to David, their former manager.

“
I just wanted you to know,” she replied quietly as Jacoury pulled her to him, kissing her again.

“
Thanks baby,” he told her as his hands began to roam her body. “I missed you,” he told her huskily, placing her on the counter, removing the tank and taking her nipple into his mouth.

“
Mmm,” Tyashia moaned, loving his touch and his tongue on her skin.

Jacoury continued, kissing her slowly down her stomach, removing the boyshorts and burying his face in her warmth.

“
Jacoury, damn,” Tyashia breathed, coming hard and fast.

She didn’t realize how very much she’d missed him as well. Jacoury freed his erection, kissing his way back to her lips, he stepped between her legs, going deeply inside her as Tyashia gasped, holding him tightly.

“
Girl, damn,” Jacoury moaned as her walls closed in on him, keeping him firmly encased inside her. “You tryna whip a fool huh,” he murmured as she gripped his butt, pulling him even deeper inside.

“
How about this, hmm,” he teased, pushing himself completely inside her, fingering her clit as she came hard once more.

“
Jacoury, oh my god,” Tyashia breathed.

“
You ready,” he asked breathing hard.

She knew he was almost there, remembering she hadn’t gotten her IUD yet.

“
No, pull out baby,” she tried as Jacoury went deep again.

“
Fuck that,” he groaned, releasing his seed, still holding her tightly.

Tyashia closed her eyes, begging God not to punish her anymore by letting her get pregnant.

“
Relax baby,” Jacoury told her looking into her face seeing the distress. “I got you,” he reassured her kissing her deeply and removing himself from her. “Get dressed, lets go eat,” he told her as he zipped his pants. “We can get some boxes while we’re out so you can pack, and I’ll get your key made,” he added nonchalantly, turning his back and opening the fridge.

He never saw the terror in her eyes as she gathered her clothes and wordlessly left the kitchen.

Kim opened her eyes after allowing Mook to lead her up to the hotel suite, and caught her breath. The room was absolutely beautiful. He’d had fresh red, yellow, and pink roses brought in and the room smelled of their aromatic fragrance. The champagne was chilling in the silver plated ice bucket, water beads falling softly into the surrounding bed of frozen water that encompassed the delicately flavored elixir. Turning her eyes to the kingsize bed that adorned the room, Kim smiled at the soft layer of pink that covered every square inch.

“
You like,” Mook asked softly, standing behind her.

“
It’s beautiful,” she breathed trying hard not to cry.

After all the turmoil of the last week, she desperately needed this time with him, alone. No business calls, no emergencies, no product to supply, just the two of them, enjoying each other.

         
Mook had surprised her earlier today, he and Jaron flying in and arriving at the hotel where she and Gabrielle were staying.

“
That’s not all,” Mook told Kim, taking her hand and leading her to the expansive bathroom the suite hosted.

She was again overwhelmed by all the time and care he’d put into making the evening special for her. The mini-olympic tub was filled to capacity with huge mounds of white bubbles and the entire outer rim was encompassed with softly glowing candles. There was a decadently stocked tray of fresh fruit, and yet another bottle of champagne sitting next to the steps leading into the tub.

“
Baby, thank you,” Kim told Mook turning to face him, looking into his eyes and seeing his love looking back at her.

“
Anything for you Miss Kim, you know that,” he told her gently, leaning in and kissing her deeply.

         
Mook slowly began undressing Kim, taking his time to tease, touch, and taste each disclosure of the beautiful chocolate skin he loved so much. Kim was breathing hard, wanting very much to make love to her man at the moment.

“
Let’s get in,” Mook told her instead, pulling away and taking her hand again.

Kim frowned slightly. Willing herself to relax, she followed his lead and stepped in the bubbly water, the temperature perfect. She was surprised at how deep it actually was, finding herself waist deep in the tub as Mook pulled her close and began kissing her again. Kim loved the feel of the water as he scooped handfuls and let it slowly cascade down her body. Her nipples were hard and even in the water Kim felt her desire as Mook kissed her neck, his other hand sliding down her butt.

“
Fine ass,” he murmured as she smiled, knowing he was as turned on as she was.

Mook pulled her over to the side of tub, sitting down in the inner ledge. She still stood as he began sucking her nipples, his tongue and that stud of his, teasing each individual sensory surface on them. Kim thought she was going to cum right there on the spot it felt so good.

         
Mook told her to come closer. Kim immediately complied, praying he was going to put out the fire raging between her legs at the moment. Mook surprised her with his next move. Leaning forward he pulled her onto his shoulders, her clit right in his mouth as she sat on his strong broadness and he used his tongue to dig deep inside her. Kim was breathing hard again, moaning loudly, flowing freely as Mook brought the first orgasm and she screamed her pleasure. Taking her still hard clit in his mouth, Mook sucked it gently, intermittently twirling the tongue stud around it starting her flow all over again. Kim was in heavenly bliss, her second orgasm looming closely on the horizon. Without a word, Mook dipped a shoulder and Kim slid almost effortlessly from his shoulders as he licked her stomach, chest and began sucking her breasts again, her body open for his swollen member as it slid deeply, readily, inside her.

“
Mook, oh damn,” Kim moaned as he sucked the nipple harder and she threw her head back, eyes rolling back in her skull.

Mook matched her stroke for stroke as Kim rode him like a madwoman. She needed another orgasm and his tongue on her nipple was driving her crazy again.

“
Shit, fuck,” Mook swore, breathing hard, finally breaking his hold on her breast, his load flowing deeply inside her.

“
Mmmm,” Kim moaned, finishing simultaneously.

Holding each other, they tried to gather their breathing. Mook took his time senously bathing Kim, rinsing and drying her as they climbed out of the tub. He lotioned her with his favorite scent on her, then kissed her neck close to her ear.

“
Let’s go roll in some rose petals,” he told her huskily, picking her up from the floor and carrying her out to the bed, Kim’s next ride on the pleasure express, ready to roar.

          “
Baby, did you write the letter,” Ian asked calmly.

Kaitlyn sighed deeply, giving him a look.

“
I know it’s hard, honey,” he told her coming to where she sat gazing out of the window.

Ian had spent the last three days, since they talked, trying to get her to end things with her and Tariq. It was proving far more difficult than he expected. Ian couldn’t lie and say it didn’t hurt to know she loved the man on a real level. Still, he had to convince her. Kaitlyn belonged with him, not Tariq.

“
I’m not sure, Ice,” Kaitlyn replied honestly.

Ian kissed her gently and as before, she didn’t push him away.

“
You know in your heart KiKi that I’m the man for you,” Ian told her, giving her a look. He saw her eyes fill and knew he was hitting a nerve. “I won’t judge you baby,” Ian continued. “I understand about your issues, and its okay,” he added causing her to begin to cry quietly. “Don’t cry KiKi,” Ian told her, holding her in his arms now. “I’m going to take good care of you baby,” he told her, stealing another kiss.

         
Kaitlyn’s mind was racing as Ian held and rocked her gently. She cared well enough for him, but her whole heart belonged to Tariq. It always had.
How are you going to convince him of that,
her mind asked of Ian. Kaitlyn knew if she told him she wanted to leave, he wouldn’t let her. Ian kissed her again, interrupting her thoughts. He continued kissing her softly, finally lingering at her lips and deepening the kiss as his tongue invaded her mouth and his hand found her breasts.
Don’t let this happen,
her mind told her as Ian began unbuttoning her blouse.
