One minute I was fighting and the next I was writhing around on the floor in pain. Gathering my thoughts, I pushed the pain aside and jumped to my feet to find where the shock came from.
Seems that Sire had the exact same idea as I, finding the person responsible for shocking us. I sent him a hard glare to earn him this wasn't over yet and I was met with his now deathly glare that promised so much more was to come. Normally Sire was the quiet, kept together one out of us all. His eye's shined of kindness and a peaceful calmness but if provoked he could quickly turn into a raging monster and it just so happens that I just pushed his provoking button.
No one believed that Sire and Heir were twins. True they resembled each other but it stopped there. Heir was loud, obnoxious and easily angered, always ready for a fight and mostly started the fight. Whereas Sire tried to reason with people first if the situation allowed it but still had no qualms about killing someone if he had to. It took a lot to upset him but once his anger surfaces he can be a deadly force, definitely someone you wanted on your side and not as a enemy. "Enough boy's" . We heard someone say.
Tearing our threatening glares from each other we looked over at Mizery who was dangling a tazer from her hand and giving us that shitty smile of hers. "The fuck you do that for? I demanded while rubbing the tender spot the tazer left behind.
" you're so fucking crazy. You should be committed". Sire hissed.
Mizery only laughed at that. It was hard to hurt her feelings, in fact there's a possible chance she doesn't have any feelings. "True, Sire, but I own my craziness. I wear it like a crown. Besides we all know if I was committed I'd be running the place in a matter of day's. Letting all of us that's presumed to be crazy run around while the doctor's and shrinks are the ones being strapped down and forced fed meds" .
I shook her word's off and refocused. "Once again, why did you do that?"
She laughed. "Did it hurt? Good".
I was beginning to lose patience and she could sense that. "Because you are making a hell of a mistake. Sire isn't trying to fuck your girl. He's actually trying to help you by speaking on your behalf. Trying to convince Alice to forgive you. Now don't you feel like a big asshole? Next time you should ask questions first before attacking someone".
" your one to talk about asking questions first". I retorted sourly.
Mizery stuffed the tazer back into her bag. "I don't need to because I already know the answers".
She walked to the door. "Sire come with me. You two can suck each other's dicks for an apology later or finish the fight, who cares. CJ I suggest you do some fast talking" she said and nodded toward Alice before leaving me alone with her.
It was the first time I laid eye's on Alice duiring this entire ordeal. There she stood over in the corner with her arm's hugging herself in fear as she cried. Here I had went and done it again. I know what she just witnessed wasn't like a normal fight, no what she just saw was two natural born killers going at it like they were in for the kill. I took a few slow steps toward her. "Alice" . I whispered.
she tossed her hands up in a stop motion. "Don't come near me CJ".
" Angel, I'm sorry. I misunderstood and I'm not going to hurt you. Please, let's talk". I pleaded.
She shook her head. "Its not just you, it's your whole family. What is wrong with you all? Normal people don't act this way. Your sister scares the hell out of me just by walking in. Heir always has this crazy look in his eye's. Sire was good up until I seen this. And you... You can go from this sweet caring guy to some vicious, controlling asshole in seconds. And that fucking creepy laugh you do when your becoming irritated crawls my skin. You're like a family of uncontrollable delinquents" .
I took a few more steps toward her. "I'm warning you CJ, don't come any closer".
" Or what angel? " I heard myself saying wanting to see what she would do.
I didn't want Alice to fear me or my family but I needed to see what she was made of. If I intend to persue her I needed to know that once she discoveries the truth or when thing's go down she can hold herself together. I continued moving toward her until my chest grazed hers. Looking down at her through lowered lids I said in a deep hushed tone. "Now what Alice? Now how are you going to get away? Can't you fight me off?"
She placed her hands against my chest and my skin heated from her touch. "No, I can't" . She whispered in defeat.
"You haven't even tried Alice. Try to fight me off." I said with a note of irritation at her weakness.
"No. I don't like to fight CJ. Besides we both know you will win. Please just leave me alone". She said.
" Fight me Alice " I boomed causing a jump reaction from her.
I pressed even closer on her. "Do something about it angel."
She shook her head sadly already giving up without trying. This infuriated me. Not because she was being weak but because she allowed some asshole to make her this way. My next word's wasn't mean to hurt her but to bring forth her anger and allow the her inner tigeress out that I knew she possessed. "So that's it. You're going to continue to be a victim and let men control you. You must have enjoyed everything about Derrick".
Tears flowed from her eye's and I felt horrible when she sobbed. "Please don't say that CJ".
Fighting my urge to wrap her in my arm's I continued. "You liked when he beat you. You liked it even more when he forced you to.." I was cut short when she shoved me away.
Seeing that it was working I kept on. "You deserve Derrick. You can't wait until he returns and makes you his again".
Whack. There it was, her first strike on me. I continued to spat horrid thing's to her until she unleashed her fists upon me. I stopped talking but she continued to pummel me as I allowed it. After all she was the equivalent of a rabid mouse attacking me. It was rather cute. With a little proper training she should be okay. Eventually she wore herself out and her arm's fell limp by her side. I finally pulled her into my arm's and pressed her head into my chest. "I'm sorry for that Angel but you needed to get that out."
I scooped her up and carried her to her bed. I slid in behind her and held her closely. "I know how you loved to be held and I promise I'll always hold you. But you've got to stop fearing me angel. I'll never hurt you. I may get mad but I won't hurt you."
Alice remained quiet and I decided to just put it out there. "You are going to give me another chance angel. I'm taking you out tonight on a proper date and will show you how you deserve to be treated, how you will always be treated with me. If at the end of the night you still haven't changed your mind I'll leave you alone".
Several minutes later I rose to leave. "I'll see you at seven angel".
Later that evening I had a team of stylists sent to her apartment to pamper her. At seven I was knocking on her door holding a dozen yellow roses. They worked for G mama right? Alice opened the door and my breath hitched. "You're beautiful my angel".
She gave me a small smile and accepted the roses. "Are these real? She asked not hiding her excitement.
"Of course. Only the best for the best". I replied as she placed them on the table.
" I've never been given flowers". She said.
"I'm honored to be the first to do so angel. Now, let's go".
I took her to one of our best restaurants and I could tell she was living every minute of our date. We actually talked about several thing's and laughed. As we left she slid her hand into mine and nothing in the world made me happier. My next stop was at the same club where it all went down. She looked over at me with worry. "I don't think this is a good idea CJ".
I missed her hand. "I promise it won't be like last time. This time I'm going to give you a good time and show my girl off. The reason I didn't before was I wasn't sure where we stood. I was getting the friend vibe from you".
She laughed. "That's funny because I was getting that vibe from you. I thought you was interested anymore because of my past."
I looked deeply into her eye's. "I want all of you, past included. I just hope you can say the same about me one day". I said thinking about my mafia life. What would she think if she knew she was with a future mob king?
We entered the club and I placed my arm around her waist as I led her to the bar. I ordered for us and as we enjoyed the music a girl I had slept with months ago sashayed over. She placed her hand on my shoulder and smiled. "Long time, no see Cole?"
Removing her hand I pulled Alice into my lap. "Let me introduce my girl. This is Alice. Isn't she perfect?"
Alice blushed and the girl left in a huff. "See angel, nothing to worry about".
Instead of answering back she twisted around in my lap and pressed a kiss to my lips. "What was that for?" I smiled seductively .
"You know why CJ". She flirted back.
Taking her hand I led her to the dance floor. I recalled the first time I slowed danced with her in my apartment and her saying she'd never danced before. I imagine she'd never danced like this before as well. Turning her around, I pressed her back up against my chest and placed my hands on her hips. It wasn't long before she caught on and my girl was a natural. Being all over each other was really setting our sex drive on fire. "Lets get out of here CJ". She whispered in my ear.
Grabbing her hand I rushed to the exit and had her at my place in no time. As I opened my door everything was perfect as I had planned thanks to Mizery. Candles lit a rose petals path to my room. Alice turned to me and I just nodded my head encouraging her to walk on. I stayed a few feet back wanting to watch her reaction. As she entered my room she gasped. Candles lit the room, rose petals scattered the bed, soft music played and champagne chilled in a ice bucket. She turned to me with watery eye's. "CJ, it's beautiful. I don't know what to say".
I knew in that moment that I had her. That regardless of my hidden life she was going to be mine. I could see her falling for me every second as I had fell for her. "Come here". I whispered.
Without hesitation she was in my arm's. I gripped her hair and gave it a tug making her neck lean back until she looked at me. From my hair gripping actions I could see a flicker of fear cross her face. I released her hair and smiled as I bent to kiss her. Tonight was about teaching her that pleasure can come from pain. As our kiss grew heated I tugged her hair once more and a moan slipped last her lips. "See angel, something's hurt so good".
She's being trained and doesn't even know it.
