Sephie is just a waitress trying to survive her late shifts, joking with her charming bartender friend Max and finding comfort in her kind neighbors. But once a month, she serves the city’s most dangerous crime bosses: a job that pays well but comes with risks. Tonight, as black SUVs arrive, she braces herself, unaware her life is about to change forever.
The other guys were now curious. “She felt what? She can feel when you’re angry now?” Andrei asked. She turned back toward the kitchen, grabbing my hand and pulling me with her. “Yeah, that’s the only way I know to describe it. It’s happened a few times now, but we’ve never not been in the…
“It happened that day with Mike. It’s the only other time I’ve seen it and 1, uh, found myself completely turned on by it,” I said, climbing into bed so she could lay across my chest. She climbed on top of me instead, her legs straddling me. “Well now you have to tell me more,”…
Smith and Gus walked into the apartment moments later. I greeted both the same as DJ. Gus looked at Sephie, a small smile on his face. He looked to me, then said, “I mean no disrespect, sir, but Trino has talked very highly of her. I can now see why.” “Tell Trino I love him,…

“What can you tell me about the other dealers? I’m not worried about Trino’s guy. He’ll take care of him should his loyalties waver. But what of the other two? Three?” I asked. Chen looked shocked about my statement about Trino. He looked at Sephie. “You told me the Colombian was a nice guy,” he…
He laughed, wrapping his arms around me. “I love you, Sephie.” “Is it because you’re looking forward to me having endless energy later? Because I’d love me for that too,” I asked, laughing He cursed under his breath. I could see where his mind was going “I’m going to make your coffee extra strong,” he…
“That bad, huh?” “Let’s just say it’s a good thing it was a video game and not real life,” Stephen said. “Ouch,” I said. Ivan really was much warmer than Misha. I found myself moving closer to him, trying to finally get warm. Andrei noticed me moving and opened his arms to me. “Come here,…
We were close before Sephie came into our lives, but it usually took one of us almost dying before we had a serious. conversation with each other. I don’t know why we couldn’t just talk to each other without the threat of imminent death, but we didn’t. We waited. We held it in. I was…
