Jinx looked at her thirty-four G breasts compared to the other woman’s chest. “I might get arrested for indecent exposure.”
“I think you look great in what you have on. If you want to order some new clothes when you get back, we can do that, or maybe you can grab a few things while you ladies are out. Whatever you decideis cool with me.” Viking ran his thumb along her ribs under her shirt. The movement wasn’t meant to be arousing, yet Jinx found anytime the man put his hands on her bare skin, she wanted him. He’d made her a sexually obsessed woman in days when she’d gone years without wanting to jump a man’s bones.
“Duke and T-Rex are on lady duty. Viking, I need you to hang back here for some contract shit that can’t wait. Vacation is over, brother.” King knocked his knuckles on the table once, pushing to his feet.
Jinx tensed next to Viking, hoping he wouldn’t say she had to stay behind since he couldn’t go.
“Who’s driving them?” Viking asked.
King raised one brow as if he didn’t like being questioned.
“Coal will be driving my tank with everyone able to fit since not all the men are demanding they follow their ole’ ladies. Now, if that’s all the questions, I’ll see you and Keys in the upstairs office.”
Jinx turned to face Viking, watching a muscle jump in his jaw. “Everything will be fine. Nobody knows where we went, and I’ll be with your people.Besides, King wouldn’t let Ayesha go somewhere he didn’t feel she’d be safe, right?”
“Don’t use a credit card.” He pulled out his wallet, sliding out several hundred-dollar bills. If you need more cash than this, let Duke or T-Rex know. Either one will make sure you’re taken care of. When you guys return, I’ll settle up with them.”
She counted the cash in her hand. It stunned her that Viking thought she’d need more than twelve hundred dollars.
“Viking, I’m not going on a shopping spree on Rodeo Drive.” She held the stack of cash out to him.
He kissed the tip of her nose. “Humor me. Spend what you want. Trust me, that’s nothing.”
“It’s really not, Jinx. Let the man spoil you.” King’s deep voice reminded her they weren’t alone.
“Let’s roll out, ladies. My skin is itching to feel Lux’s needle.” King swatted Ayesha on the ass, making her yelp. “Hey,” she cried.
“Be good,” King warned Ayesha.
“I’m always good, King.”
Keys entered the room with a boy, his tall commanding presence drawing Jinx’s attention. “Is that his son?” she asked Viking.
“Yes. He’s a good kid.” Viking didn’t say more, so she didn’t ask.
Keys stopped in front of them, holding out a cell phone. “I cloned yours, but this one can’t be traced or tracked by anyone who might’ve been trying.”
Jinx pulled her phone out of her back pocket, holding it in her palm. “I didn’t think about that.” Within our property, nobody short of NASA can get a bead on us. Even then, they’ll have to work really hard to get past my security. They think I’m a paranoid motherfucker. I’m just proactive. Anyway, that phone has everything your old phone had, minus location tracking. No, you don’t have to worry when you get a call from someone that they’re able to track you.”
She passed Keys her old phone. “Do you want to boil that thing?”
He chuckled. “There’s no need for you to do anything drastic. I’ll fix it, and we’ll use it as a burner.”
Jinx looked at the newer phone in her hand and was sure she was getting the better end of the deal.
Ayesha ushered them all out the front door of the clubhouse into a huge blacked-out vehicle. She climbed into the very back, running her hand over the camel colored leather. She’d been in luxury vehicles growing up. Her father traded in his Mercedes every other year, while her mom insisted she needed a new one each year when the latest model came out. She’d never seen a make or model like the vehicle they were riding in.
“This is the coolest rig, isn’t it?”
Jinx smiled at the girl next to her. They looked to be about the same age. “Tiana, right?” Jinx asked.
“Yes. It’s a lot to remember. This is King’s solution to allowing my sister to leave the compound. That’s what we call the homestead now. Our family has acquired hundreds of acres of surrounding property. You might have noticed there are a lot of houses inside the gates.” Tiana pointed toward the house they passed. “That’s mine and Duke’s.
“This big tank is bulletproof. It’s a 2025 Rezvani Arsenal custom build, which was my birthday present from King. I told him if he really wanted it to be mine, he’d have given me a purple one.” Ayeshaturned from the middle seat, resting her arm over the back as she spoke.
“How many swats did that get you?” Lux asked.
“Enough.” Ayesha grinned.
