THE TOKEN 8: Kiki
Quote: I've seen a thousand tears and wiped
away none.
His studies my expression and laughs. “What?”
“She has been punished.”
There is no one around to hear what I say. My
staff understands discretion on an intimate level, but Mick's voice
goes low regardless.
“God,” Mick plows his hand through his hair,
“are you still doing the ka-ching!” Mick pantomimes
snapping a whip.
“I don't use whips, though it's an excellent
suggestion. Not that I need any help in the creative parts.”
Mick grunts. “I am not discussing your sex
life.”
I raise an eyebrow. “Really?”
“Can't you just fuck normally?”
“That's discussing it.”
Mick stomps away, jamming his helmet back on his
head. “I don't want Kiki messed with.”
I follow him like a prowling cat. “I am not
messing with Kandace.”
Our gazes lock.
“That's what scars the shit out of me. I know
how serious your are, driven. You get your sights on something and
watch out.”
I cross my arms, the leather of my jacket making a
crinkling sound. “True. So why do I feel like you're cautioning
me.”
“Thorn--”
“Oh please. That thug?”
Mick leans forward, dangerously close to putting a
finger in my chest.
Neither one of us want that. It cannot end well.
We're almost like siblings, Mick and I. And we can sometimes fight
like them too.
“Thorn is not a thug, he's a cop.”
I shrug and he frowns, going on. “And, you're
the one who got into it with him at the Black Rose last year. Amazing
Kiki will date you.”
“I wouldn't call it dating.”
“Fuck,” Mick says in dismay, his hands
clenching into fists.
“That is more like it.”
“Oh my God. Don't tell me you're boning my
wife's best friend. It will so have my ass in the dog house if you
use Kiki.” His eyes search my face. “Screw over Chloe—now that
bitch? She's deserving.”
I smirk, throwing up my palms in an inoffensive
truce gesture. “She has already received much of what she
deserves.”
Mick holds up a palm. “Don't. God, just don't
tell me man.”
“Dating will
come later. If I had to wait one more minute, live through one more
unanswered text where you denied me—I was going to cease to exist.
I tried to be patient. In the end, you caused me to be what I am
right now. A starving animal.”
I step closer.
“Maybe, once
I've fucked you every day for a month—we can see a movie.”
Kandace shivers.
I step nearer still.
Her knuckles turn white
from the death grip she keeps on the countertop.
“But right now,
I want to know your body. Need to.”
“Well—that's
great, Chet. Maybe I want to know more.”
I grin suddenly.
“You will.”
