Brice

T he sound of a phone ringing woke me up before it stopped.

I couldn’t be sure in my haze, but it sounded like my encrypted phone.

The last thing I remembered was being deep inside Tay.

I felt around the bed to find her still lying beside me.

The phone ringing again made me finally sit up to retrieve it.

Letting my eyes adjust to the darkness, I stumbled over to my shorts to answer the call and confirm it was my encrypted phone.

“Yo,” I said, breathing heavily into the receiver.

“Wake your ass up, we got a hit on Nina. She’s at Costa’s mansion right now.” Rock said.

“You trying to move tonight? What time is it?” I asked, firing off multiple questions.

“Yeah, and it’s almost eight thirty. While you were knee deep, JoJo and I were compiling data on his little estate. We’ll be there in thirty minutes,” he said before hanging up .

When I walked back past the pole, I smiled. I couldn’t believe Tay knew how to work a pole like that. I was mesmerized as her body bent and flexed around it. The same as I was now, as I sat back on the side of the bed and watched her sleep.

“Brice, why are you staring at me like a creep?”

“Why are you lying there acting asleep like a creep?” I responded and laughed. I climbed back in bed and pulled her body on top of mine.

“Who was that?” she asked as she nestled her head into my neck. I inhaled because her soft breaths on my neck made my body come alive.

“It was Steph, they found Nina. She’s with Costa at his estate, and they want to move tonight. They will be here in thirty minutes,” I said as I positioned myself at her opening.

“Briicccee, we don’t have time,” she whined, but slid down on my erection with ease.

Her mouth said one thing, but her body said another.

She sat up and stared down at me. I didn’t like the look in her eyes.

She’d only hours ago put me out cold, and the look she had told me that the words ‘finish him’ were flowing through her mind.

She positioned her feet flat on the bed and began to ride me from the tips of her toes.

Up and down she went on my dick taking every inch of me slowly at first until she started a steady pace.

She was warm, wet and her pussy wrapped around me like a glove tightening every time she rose to the tip.

I felt myself begin to lose control as her face contorted in pleasure and her plump breast with hardened nipples bounced above me .

“Sssssss slow down, Baby. You’re gonna make me cum.” I’d never been this open, but Tay had total control of my body.

“Mmmh good,” she moaned as she increased her pace. With low-lidded eyes, flushed cheeks, and an open mouth, she rode me, taking her orgasm.

“Mmmmm, your pussy is so damn good,” I moaned as my head tilted back into the pillow and my body deeper into the mattress. I was panting hard, trying to fight off my orgasm before she wrapped her hands around my exposed throat and squeezed.

“Ahhhhhh Shit!” I grunted out, as I brought my head back forward to watch my dick slide in and out of her pussy.

I was completely coated in her creamy essence.

I bit my lip so hard I drew blood at the sight.

She took notice, leaned down and sucked my lip into her mouth before her tongue joined nastily wrapping around mine until I came hard.

She bounced out another of her own, siphoning me until I had nothing left.

“Tay,” I said through labored breaths.

“Give it back,” I said brusquely, looking into her devious eyes.

“Give what back, Brice?” She asked in the same labored breaths. She was still sitting on top of me with my dick inside her with and heir of innocence.

“My damn soul, Tay. You snatched my shit! I died twice today!” I exclaimed teasingly and laughed. She looked at me and burst out laughing as well.

“I was only returning the favor, Baby.” She said and shrugged.

“Returning the …Tsk. Come on, let’s go shower before they get here.” I stood, wrapping her naked body around mine, and he aded back to the main level, laughing the whole way. We were so caught up in our laughter that we hadn’t noticed Jourdan coming down the hall towards us.

“Ooop. I was just coming to find y’all,” Jourdan said as she quickly covered her eyes and turned around.

“Damn, JoJo. What the hell? Steph said thirty minutes.”

“You know better than that, Brice. You know his ass thinks he’s Drumline Dr. Lee ‘You’re late if you’re on time’ old head ass.” Jourdan said. Then Steph decided to round the corner, casually eating a bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos.

“I heard y’all in here talking shit about me,” he said and paused then began to point the hot Cheeto that was in his fingers in our direction.

“Yeah, nah. I don’t know what the hell is going on here, but I’m pretty sure lines are being crossed.

“And you’re the one crossing them nigga! Got damn I keep telling JoJo’s ass that this is our damn house. Now use the bell.” I quickly turned to head up the stairs.

“Hey y’all,” Tay said, still laughing.

“Hey Tay. And Brice your ass needs to work on them glutes,” Steph yelled.

“Lines crossed, Steph! And stop eating up all my damn Cheetos!” I yelled.

This nigga!

Carrying Tay straight into the bathroom, I set her on the counter and then started the water .

“You trying to go again?” I lowered my voice and asked as I stood between her legs, as the water warmed. I leaned in and kissed her neck while she scrunched, giggled, and tried to cover her moans.

“No. Are you trying to have the door creep open and El DeBarge poke a hot Cheeto in here telling us to hurry our asses up?” We both laughed loudly.

After showering and dressing in cargos and black tees, we returned downstairs to find Steph and JoJo.

They were in the kitchen, still helping themselves to our snacks.

I also took notice of our large kitchen island, which was covered entirely in schematics and floor plans.

Sitting in the center of it all was JoJo’s ‘business’ laptop.

I walked around, taking a mental catalog of what I saw and how this incursion would work.

“What we got?” I asked Steph.

“First, the easy part. Costa operates out of a ten-thousand-square-foot house with twenty-two spaces that must be cleared before we reach his primary. The primary is on the estate's first floor, on the rear west side. Second, the really easy part. There’s a gate at the entrance with a manned booth. However, the perimeter is only trees. We can pretty much hit it from any direction.”

“Lynx and I will take him out, sniper style,” Lioness said.

“Nah, it’s too loud. We will have to go in and out without alerting anyone that we are even there. What’s going on in the interior?” I asked.

“He has a chef and a maid service who leave every night at ten and return in the morning at six. We flew a drone over and saw four men securing the perimeter. There’s one on each corner, again…

easy work. But we don’t have a clear count on how many of his men will be inside.

We’ll just have to take out whoever, one by one until we’re looking at those two motherfuckers in the eyes,” Steph said. I stood back and thought it over.

“Let’s get to it then.” I stood up fully and headed back towards the basement.

“Y’all coming or not?” I asked when I didn’t hear any footsteps behind me.

Once I was sure they were following, I descended the stairs and headed to what used to be an oversized bedroom, identical in size to the one where Tay had set up her pole.

I’d taken the room six feet from the exterior basement wall holding the room’s closet.

I walked into the closet, which was now filled with Tay’s clothes, and hit a hidden button, opening the wall. Inside was my armory.

“Wait, you remodeled my house?” JoJo asked. As the three suede walls, encased in espresso wood, lit up, they displayed my collection of guns and knives. Drawers and cabinetry sat below housing ammunition and accessories.

“I don’t know how many times I have to tell your ass that this is ‘my’ house,” I said.

“Brice,” Tay said timidly.

“Yeah, Baby.”

“You knew I had that pole down here this entire time?” She asked .

“Tay, Baby, I’ve been trying to catch your sexy ass on that pole ever since you came out from the basement breathing hard and with your skin glowing.”

“You came down here being nosey?”

“Hell yeah, if you were down here having ‘you’ time like that, I wanted to be involved,” I said, laughing. My eyes found JoJo, and she was walking around the small room, mesmerized like she always was when we were around weaponry. I shook my head.

“Load up. We move guerrilla warfare style, tactical and quiet,” I said as I tossed JoJo and Steph each two silencers for their Smith Wesson’s and handed one to Tay before pocketing one of my own fitted for Glocks.

Tay and I picked out two more Glocks and tactical knives.

Then we all filled several extra clips. On the way out, I noted the expression on Tay’s face, and I didn’t like it.

“Tay, let me talk to you for a minute,” I said, grabbing her hand to prevent her from exiting the armory. I stood momentarily, waiting for her to look into my eyes. After a minute, I gently lifted her chin with my finger.

“How are you feeling about what could happen tonight?”

“Honestly, I don’t know how to feel. I just recently found out that she never wanted me, and on the same day, she tried to kill me.

Brice, that woman’s love for me was conditional from birth.

She told me that I was supposed to help her keep that man, and when I didn’t, I became an accessory to her lifestyle.

I don’t know what would have happened to me if I didn’t have you and JoJo,” she said quietly, dropping her head .

“Sometimes the family we find and create through bonds, connections, and love is better than the ones made by blood. That’s what this is, Baby, and what I have for you is unconditional.

You’re my family, my heart, my home, my fucking everything.

Now I’m not promising that there won’t be some shit we go through.

Hell, we’ve already made it through some shit.

But I promise you, I’m still going to be here.

As far as what she did to you, another bullet will never touch your body.

I’ll lay down whoever tries,” I said. She knew we had rules against women.

It was one of the reasons my father had trained them. I lifted her chin again.

“Look at me, whoever, Tay.” She nodded, and I kissed her forehead before kissing her lips.

“Let’s go to work.”
