Born For Greatness. [closed]

---

Cici groaned as she made her way up the stairs to her two bedroom apartment, on the top floor. It wouldn't be such a difficult task, if it wasn't for her precious four year old, peacefully napping on her hip. Finally making it to the top, she unlocked the door and took little Quinn back to her princess themed bedroom. She laid her down, and plucked the shoes from her feet. Tucking her in for her afternoon nap, Cici went to the kitchen and began brewing coffee. It was going to be another late night for her, and she still hadn't found a babysitter for the night.

She puffed out her cheeks, and grabbed for her phone. Finding the familiar name, Christopher, she sent him a quick text asking if he would be willing to watch Quinn for the night. Pizza, wifi, and beer (after she's asleep) would be provided. It was difficult working nightshifts, and not having reliable help. Within seconds Chris responded with a bunch of smiley faces, and exclamation points. He loved hanging out with Quinn, and it was just another excuse to get out of seeing some crazy girl he had gotten himself in with.

___

Chris showed up, and hugged Cici with excitement. "You know, I really think you just need to look into a new line of work. Seriously, these nights are ridiculous, and people are getting more weird by the day." He was referring to how one of Cici's friends from the bar, had just been released from the hospital after having a client abuse his strength. It made her blood boil to think that some men go around with such a pig headed outlook on life. But it made her more resilient in her work, and it made her want to show off more. Show how she wasn't afraid of anyone, or anything.

Cici smiled, she hugged her friend again. "I'm fine. 9-5 jobs are for the moms who don't have what I have!" She wiggled her hips, and blew a kiss. "I gotta get going, I told Michael I would help get this new girl trained to pass out drinks all night." She peeked around her friend, and saw Quinn standing there in her nightgown. "I love you, princess! Mommy will see you in the morning!"

Quinn ran up to her mommy, and wrapped her arms around her legs. "I love you, mommy! See you!" She smiled, and giggled as Chris scooped her up. He was mentioning ice cream, and movies until bedtime. Quinn kept giggling, and squealing with excitement. Cici felt a pain in her gut. She rarely got to spend evenings with her little monster, and the days would be harder soon, with her starting up daycare. She tried to shake the sad feeling away, but it was hard. Her whole life was hard.

Cici flagged down a cab, and climbed in. Her car was low on gas, and she needed to make sure she could get it to her appointment the next day. Unfortunately, it was cheaper to take a cab, and safer. The club she danced for was in downtown LA, not exactly where people want to leave their cars, especially if the locks are broken. She stared out the window, the city lights flashing by. Los Angeles, the city where people come to make dreams happen, and instead, she's barely scraping by. I wonder how Quinn's father is doing. The bastard was so excited to go to college, and become something big in his life. I wonder what happened.

___

Sauntering around the tables, Cici kept balance in her short green skirt, and tight black top. She smiled at customers, and showed the ropes to the young girl who she was training. "Alright, London, just remember to smile, flirt, and give them their right drinks. You want big tips, without showing your tits? That's what you gotta do." At least she was being honest with the poor girl. London looked as though she hadn't even touched a man before, let alone flirted with some random one for a job. She smiled at the girl, and pulled her to a table with three gentlemen. "Hey boys, this is my friend London, she's new tonight, so don't be too hard on her!" They were regulars, Cici knew their drinks, and that they'd tip a new girl well.

She smiled as her project came along, and made her way to another table. She stopped at a table with four different guys. "What can I get you boys tonight?" Her hip was cocked, making her skirt even shorter, and her hand was placed on one of their shoulders. She bit her lip, and waited for one of them to open their mouth.

Zeke wiped his hands, and threw the soiled rag into the hazard waste bag. It was another messy job, not one he really wanted to deal with, but he knew there was money in it. He lit up a cigarette, leaned against the wall, and watched as another group of men came in to grab the bloodied bags that lined the wall next to him. Someone tried to get over on his boss, and he wasnt going to allow that, so he took matters into his own hands. The guy was a junkie to begin with, rotted teeth, nubbed nails, hollow eyes. There wasn't much hope for him, it was easier to just end it all now, before he faced an even worse fate. Zeke kicked off the wall, stripped himself of the clothes, and shoes, and went to grab something else to wear.

He checked his phone. Meet me in my office, we have your payment to discuss. Zeke knew his boss was going to shake his hand, and exclaim his pride in how he handled the situation. To which, Zeke would nod, barely smile, take his pay and leave. He wasn't a people person, he wasn't much of a person honestly. He didn't feel things the way other people did. Death didn't bring him to tears, nor did violence turn his stomach. Death was his mother, and violence his father. After losing both at a young age, and turning to the streets, Zeke became what every gang leader wanted.

Making his way inside the dimly lit office, he lit up another cigarette, and cleared his throat. "Boss." He muttered. His voice scratchy, and low. Not much of talker, either.

A large man stood up out of his chair, and walked around the desk to the other side. He clasped both of his hands down on Zekes shoulders. "You did good my boy, now I need you to do one more project for me."

"I'd prefer being paid for this job, first." He wouldn't be played for a fool.

His boss let out a low chuckle, "Oh my boy, the money has already been deposited into your account. This next job, you will get strictly cash. But it has to be done by the books."

"Am I taking someone out?"

He shook his shining, bald head. "No, I just need you to go send a little warning for me."

___

Apparently a rival gang decided to move in on claimed territory. Zeke was sent over to their warehouse to have a chat with one of the runners. He propped himself on the wall, and waited for one of the hoodlums to come outside. One of the guys he recognized, Lucas, came walking past him. Zeke grabbed his arm, and pulled him around the corner. He whipped out his blade, and held it to Lucas' throat. "Listen here, you tell your boss to back the fuck up off our territory, or he'll end up losing the next runner I see over there." He let the blade slide, breaking skin. "I don't care who it is."

Lucas dropped from his hand, and went running off. He couldn't defend himself, he knew he was on someone else's territory. And they all knew who's territory. Zeke could tell that the message would be relayed back, with hopes that they actually listen.

___

Walking back into the office, Zeke kept his eyes to the ground and listened as the men talked about what their next move would be. Who they were going to steal from next, or threaten next. Now, Zeke is known for being the right hand man, but he wasn't one for planning. He just did as he was told, so he could get his money and move on with things. He sat down in one of the chairs, and let his eyes wander around the room, that's when he caught sight of someone he hadn't seen in a while.

The boss' daughter.

Ryker sat in the club with his friends, glancing around the club. It had been years since he left this place and he had finally returned. He got up, “I will be back.” He said to his friend before he walked off to the bathroom. His friends had decided to take him out for a night of fun. It was more of a welcome home party. Ryker returned to the table, seeing a girl at the table. He looked her over, smirking when he liked what he saw. He lit a cigarette before he sent to sit down.

“Hey Ryker what do you want?” His friend Marcus said.

Ryker instantly watched the girl turn to look at him. His name a very unique and his eyes widened when he seen who it was. “Cici?” He said, completely shocked to see her. He swallowed hard, feeling a flood of emotions as he looked at her. When he had left it wasn’t because he didn’t love her. It had been because he wanted to move on with his life and make something of himself. Unlike his useless drunk of a father.

Marcus looked between the two, “Well this is fun.” He said, laughing.

Ryker glared at his friend and then turned his attention back to Cici. Was she really needing a job like this? How bad was she struggling now? Ryker sat with his friends and watched her, “I just want a beer.” He told her when he felt her staring at him.

Marcus chuckled, “And shots! Lots of them!” He exclaimed.

Ryker shook his head, “I don’t drink liquor and you know that.” He said to his friend. He hadn’t touched liquor and he didn’t drink too much. He looked at Cici, not able to take his eyes off of her.

[url= http://www.polyvore.com/outfit/set?id=217081431]Allison[/url] walked into her dad’s house shutting the door. Her dad’s house was huge and he had decided to have her stay with him. Allison had went to stay with her mom for a few months, but it didn’t work out. Allison sighed, “Daddy!” She called. She walked down the hallway and walked into the sitting room, surprised to see a few of his men sitting in there. “Oh my bad.” She said, holding her purse in her hand. She had forgotten that he had a new gang member that was joining today so they were all meeting. “I can come back later.” She said. She looked over, seeing someone that she had always liked. Zeke Louis. Everyone said she was insane for liking him. He had always turned her down, but she never let that get her down. One day she was going to break him down.

Thomas shook his head, “No need. We were just finishing up.” He told his daughter. “You all can come back later tonight.” He told them. “Zeke you stay.” He said, when he seen the boy go to get up. Thomas walked towards the door, “I will be back.” He said, leaving the two of them.

Allison looked at Zeke, smiling. She had always been quite the flirt when it came to him. She came off all innocent, but that changed when they were alone. “So miss me?” She asked him as she set her purse on the table. She walked over to him, looking him over, “I know I missed you.” She said.

@ RomanSky
Cici could smell the familiar smoke of Marlboro Black 100s. Her ex in high school was one of the few guys to actually smoke them, and not be a bitch about it. "Hey Ryker, what do you want?" When she turned, her heart stopped.

"Cici?" Those eyes that stole her heart five years ago, were looking into hers.

Ryker Essex?

She stared at him, unable to comprehend what was happening right before her. She listened to their orders, and went back to the bar. She grabbed a few bottles of Budweiser, and a bottle of tequila with shot glasses. She set everything out on the table. "I was informed I am your personal bartender for the night?" She laughed, and repressed a groan. Ryker's buddy, Marcus, had requested Cici be their bartender for the night. Leaving her with a decent pay stub, and tips, but also in a boatload of awkward situations.

Downing a couple shots with the guys, she shook her head and took a seat on the arm of Ryker's chair. She wrapped her arm around his shoulder, trying to keep it causal and fun. "So, boys, what one of my lovely ladies do you want for your private shows?" She stretched her long, tattooed leg out, and tapped one of the guys in the chest with her foot. Her eyes glancing down to Ryker, her cheeks flushing every time she did. She leaned down to his ear, "I can do a private show for you."

Cici was well known for her dancing, and ability to get any man to tip her. She bit her lip, stood up, did another shot, and wiggled her ass. "Cmon boys! Pick a girl! Let's have fun!"

'In all reality, I just want to make sure none of the other girls touch Ryker.'

•___•___•

Zeke shook his head as the other men left. He was upset he couldn't follow, the last thing he wanted was to be left alone with Allie. Gorgeous? No doubt. Smart? Of course. What every man dreams of? Hell yes. Boss' daughter? Can't forget that part. It wasn't that Zeke was never interested in her, he just knew how to keep business and pleasure separate.

"Did I miss you? Allie, we go over this every time." He scoffed, and puffed on another cigarette. It was easier to keep his lungs filled, than to say something he might regret. Her flirty persona would get him into too much trouble, if he actually acted upon his urges. For instance, right now she's wearing a little floral dress, Zeke couldn't help but bite his lip as she walked, and it peeped up.

He moved away from her. Trying to keep himself collected. What could a girl like her even see in someone like him? He was known for doing dirty jobs, half of his tattoos he acquired while in prison, and he couldn't remember the last time he was sober. Besides when he got out of jail, and even then it was questionable. "Why don't you try corrupting some other low life your dad hired?"

It was easier for Zeke to be cold, it kept her at bay. Or he hoped. Usually it had the opposite effect. And one of these days, it would land him with a bullet between his eyes. Courtesy of her father.

@ heroin bob.

Ryker smirked as she sat down on the arm of his chair, feeling her arm go around his shoulder. He looked up at her, wanting her so badly. He let his arm go around her waist, then looked over as Marcus picked out a few girls. Ryker smiled his adorable grin that cause his dimples to show when she mentioned going to a private room, “I like the sound of that.” He told her. He watched as she stood up and shook her amazing body. Ryker drank a few more beers watching as the girl that Marcus had picked danced. He looked over at Cici, his eyes moving over her. “Alright, let’s go.” He said, setting his beer down. He got to his feet, ready for that private room.

Marcus laughed, “Hey Cici make sure you let Ryker pay the bill. He’s got that high roller money now.” He said, laughing with the guys.

Ryker sent him a glare, “Fuck off you invited me you asshole.” He said, punching his friend playfully in the arm. He looked at her, his hand going to the small of her back, “Lead the way.” He said. He stepped into the private room with her, his eyes looking her over. He stopped her before she started to dance, “Cici, are you okay?” He asked, looking down at her. He was worried about her and had thought about her while he was gone constantly. He smiled at her, wanting to enjoy this time with her. “Alright.” He said as he sat down. “I get to feel you up because I’m special, right?” He asked, chuckling. He was slightly drunk, but not to the point where he didn’t know what he was doing. He had never gotten like that. He looked her over, she had always had a nice body.

---

Allison laughed softly, “Oh Zeke we both know you are more fun than them.” She said as she moved towards him. She bit her bottom lip lightly as she looked up at him. “You are not a low life by the way.” She added. She watched him, “I really think we should have some fun. Just me and you.” She said, running her fingers over his. Her breasts practically poured out of the top of her dress and she could tell that she had his attention. She couldn’t deny that she loved his cold attitude. It just made him more of a challenge. Allison stepped back from him when her dad came back in the room.

Thomas looked at the two of them, “Zeke I need to you go downstairs and get rid of that asshole down there.” He said. Thomas kept prisoners in his basement that he would torture if they pissed him off enough. “Make sure to clean up the mess.” He said as he handed the boy the key to the basement. He smiled and walked out again.

Allison turned her attention back to Zeke, “So, can we have fun after you play with the asshole downstairs?” She asked, knowing that Zeke would take his time killing him. “Or do I get to tag along?” She asked him as she touched his forearm.

@ RomanSky
Cici couldn't help but laugh at the guys, it was the same group from high school that she had grown up with. Needless to say, nobody ever thought their reunion would be in a strip club, but to each their own. She giggled at how eager Ryker was, she couldn't help but blush at his dimples. Quinn has those dimples, and your eyes... she shook her head at the thought, and shivered as his hand touched her back. Cici pulled him into the private room, and sat him down. His question took her by surprise, "I'm completely fine!" The biggest, and most common lie she told.

Blushing at his next question, she nodded and took her position, straddling his lap. Though, she didn't leave any room between the two of them, instead she let her body (and booze) take over the situation. Leaning her deep blue lips to his ear, she whispered, "You can do whatever you want with me." A major no-no, in all honesty, but Ryker always had a way to make her do the opposite. She placed a few gently kisses on his exposed neck, then nibbled on his earlobe. "I remember what you like." She kissed his cheek, then touched her forehead to his. That's when Marcus' words flooded her head. High roller? What was he doing now...? What did he leave me, and Quinn behind for? Does he still not even know? No, he couldn't know, or he wouldn't be calmly letting me straddle him. He'd be demanding to see his daughter. He did always say he wanted a little girl...

Cici began to swivel her hips, ignoring her thoughts. She kept in time with the song playing, swaying her hips, moving her body, exposing more than she should have. Soon she was on her knees in front of him, his legs spread, her teeth toying with his zipper. She looked up through her long lashes, and chewed on her lip. "What do you want exactly?"

•___•___•

Zeke felt his pants tighten as she moved closer, and spoke. Her denying that he was a lowlife as all the more proof he needed to keep her away. She was too sweet for this life, devious as hell, but her heart was too good for this life. She still saw the good in everyone. Whereas Zeke, he could barely see that they had a face.

He blushed lightly as her breasts threatened to spill, and her fingers brushed his. "All-." Thomas cut him off with the request, and handing of the keys. He watched his boss leave the room, a feeling of relief washed over him. Getting to end someone's life is just what he needed to get his head straight. Her question made his heart pound in his chest, and all the blood rush to one area in particular. Without thinking, he grabbed her wrist and pinned her against the wall, rage filled his eyes, then seeing her this vulnerable, replaced it with lust. "Allison, you need to back up. I'm not taking the chance of your father putting a bullet in my head, just because I want to rip that dress off of you." He loosened his grip on her wrist, then backed away.

He stormed out of the room, and went directly for the basement.

___

"Travis Posh." Zeke cleared his throat, and chuckled. He was wearing a white wife beater, and a pair of black work pants. His tattoos were exposed, as well as his numerous scars from various fights. "Y'know, buddy, you really pissed off the wrong dude. Because you made him mad, and that means I need to do the job of getting rid of you, and I was trying to get my dick wet. But apparently, that isn't gonna happen, because I'm stuck down here with you. So, Travis, we're gonna play some games." Zeke went and pulled out a cart with different surgical tools on it.

"None of these have been sterilized since our last disposal. But that's okay, because you won't make it out of here to recover." He laughed a little bit. It was sadistic, but something about ending someone's life when they were lower than he was, it felt amazing to him. Like he was able to cleanse himself.

When the torturing began, something inside of him snapped. And for the first time, in a very long time, he was messy with his work. He was deranged. He stabbed, and sliced, all in the wrong places. Travis was screaming in agony, until he finally hit his jugular. Then Zeke listened to him drown to death. We all have to go sometime... oh Allie, what do you see in me?

___

Cleaning up, he washed his face, and grabbed a new outfit. Zeke pulled on a black button up, white dress pants, and a pair of black dress shoes. He enjoyed looking nice when he could. He cuffed up the sleeves, and made his way back upstairs, where he happened to catch a glimpse of Allie.

He had been working for Allie's dad for years. His own father was one of his henchmen, until he was fatally shot in a drive by from one of Thomas' enemies. He grew up watching Allie, from the time she was small, all up to now. Zeke was a few years older than Allie at 25, but he could never tell the age difference. Shes just so smart. And beautiful. God is she beautiful.

@ heroin bob.

Ryker smirked as she straddled his lap, his hands going to her hips. “I guess it is my lucky day.” He said as his hands over her body, then went to her chest. He moaned as she kissed along his neck. He groaned as he watched her get on her knees in front of him. Ryker got a sly grin when she asked what he wanted. “Honestly,” He said, leaning forward so his head was inches from her face. “I would love to see that pretty mouth of yours wrapped around my dick again.” He said. He was being blunt, but she had really turned him on.

He placed his hands on her cheeks and kissed her roughly, starting to take off what was left of her clothes. He let his fingers slip into her hair, pulling it slightly, remembering how much she loved that. He kissed down her neck, smiling as he bit her gently. He pulled away, looking down at her. He kissed her once more before he ran his hands over her body one last time. Ryker leaned back and watched her. He relaxed as he felt her unzip his jeans.

---

Allison gasped as he pinned her against the wall, “Careful Zeke you are turning me on.” She said, laughing softly. She pouted as he walked away from her. She went up to her room and put her things away. She was so glad that she was back with her dad. She didn’t trust her mom at all. Allison walked downstairs and smiled when she seen Zeke. Her dad had left to go take care of some business. Allison walked over to him, “Have fun?” She asked him as she stood in front of him. She ran her fingers through her hair, “Daddy left for the night. He said something about depositing money in your account.” She said, crossing her arms.

Allison watched him, “Now where were we?” She whispered as she placed her hands on his chest and pushed him until he was pressed against the wall. She looked up at him, running her fingers down his chest. “So did you clean up?” She asked him, knowing her dad expected that of him.

@ RomanSky
She let her clothes fall to the floor, as his lips crashed into hers. She missed him, she missed every single part of him. His request made her shiver with excitement. She tugged his pants where she needed them, then eagerly pulled his hard member from his boxers. She licked her lips, and sucked the tip. Listening to his soft moans, and groans. Cici prided herself on the pleasurable sounds, and for locking the door to the room. If she was caught, she would no doubt lose her job. But she missed Ryker too much to let that stop her.

Cici continued to take his length, she so desperately wanted to ride him, but she knew she couldn't take any chances. She already knew he could get her pregnant, last thing she needed was another Quinn. Cici sucked every last drop from him, she licked her lips and stood up, only clad in her heels. "I would say you owe me right now, but I have a feeling we'll see each other again?" She slid her little bits of clothing back on, and kissed his cheek. "I missed you."

There was a loud knock at the door. Cici quickly unlocked it, and stared her fuming manager in the face. "Cici, get the fuck in my office. Right now!" She turned to Ryker, she mouthed an apology, and ran her way to the back.

___

Michael began tearing into her. Making her feel like shit for even thinking about giving a VIP show, after what she had just gone through. "We just had Lacy get the living shit beat out of her, and sexually assaulted. We could barely keep this place open after that! And you want to lock doors?! And when you unlock them, it smells like goddamn sex in there! Did you fuck that customer?!"

She couldn't tell if he was worried, or angry, or both. "No! I didn't! I did in high school, and it's his fucking fault I'm working here. But that's it!" Cici sniffled, then looked down to her lap. Michael came around, and hugged her. He was her family. All the girls there, they were her family. She knew what she had done was dumb, but she honestly missed Ryker more than she had thought.

"Just don't do it again. Go get cleaned up, and changed. You can call it an early night. I'll make up for the tips you don't get." He always looked out for her, he had to make sure his granddaughter was taken care of. Odd family business, but it put food on the table, and her dad never wanted her to worry.

___

Walking into her apartment, Cici threw her bag on the table, and made her way to the living room. She plopped down next to Chris, and laid her head on his shoulder. "Ryker was there tonight."

"Oh? Did you give him a lap dance, and then blue ball him?!"

She sheepishly stood up off the couch, "I actually might've sucked him dry."

Chris shook his head. Trying to his his disgust. He just got up, hugged his best friend and dragged them both to her bedroom. "Let's just get some sleep." Opening the door, Cecilia almost started crying. Little Quinn was curled up, cuddling her moms sweatshirt, and the stuffed penguin that Ryker had given her for their six month anniversary. Sniffling, she crawled into bed next to her mini, and felt her best friend wrap his arms around the both of them. "Love you, Ci. You're doing amazing."

___

The next morning, Cici saw she had a message request on Facebook. Ryker Essex She felt her heart race right out of her chest. She opened the message, and felt her cheeks fill with red. It wasn't a romantic message, just a simple one saying he enjoyed seeing her. She quickly responded asking when they'd be able to hang out next. She waited eagerly for his reply. But in the meantime, she decided it was only fair to make breakfast for her two sleeping bears.

•___•___•

He nodded at her comment about the money, he was hoping for cash because he needed to make a few runs. But it was fine for now, he'd deal with it later. He was taken back by her force. Zeke swallowed hard as her fingers danced along his chest. "I always clean up. There's a reason I'm one of the best." He wanted to make her back up, hurt her somehow. "You do realize I just washed your now ex boyfriends flesh from under my nails?"

Travis had been one of her boyfriends. He didn't know when, he didn't know if they were still together. Though he did know he never liked Travis, and getting to end his pathetic life made him so happy. Not only was Travis a shitty middle man, he was a shitty boyfriend. Zeke could remember hearing Allison complain about him, all the time. "Does that make you feel any different? Are you afraid of me yet?"

That isn't what he wanted. No, he wanted to take her into his arms, kiss her, hold her, and have her all to himself. But she was going places in life, and if Zeke wasn't careful, his only options were the morgue or prison.

He moved his hand around her waist, and pulled her closer. If she wanted to be this close to danger, he'd help her. "Or does it make you want me more? Because I could have my way with you, right now." He grabbed a fistful of her dress, hiking it up more. His other hand found its way up her thigh, grasping at her hip. His thumb massaging the little dip between her underwear and skin.

Ryker sat in front of his computer and thought about the night before with Cici. He was hoping that she didn’t get in too much trouble for what she did. He decided to go after her. He need her in his life. He looked at the tattoo on his arm that had her came hidden in it and sighed. He had gotten it when they were together and he had cherished it ever since. He sent the message and smiled when she replied back. How about today? I will stop by when I get off work. My mom told me where you are staying.. He sent the message and waited for response. He had to see her. He couldn’t get enough of her.

Cici’s mom walked into her apartment with Quinn on her hip, “Sweetheart we are back!” She called. She had taken her granddaughter to breakfast. She walked in the bedroom and seen who she was talking to. ‘Oh my he’s back?” She asked excited. She looked behind her when she heard Chris walk into the apartment. “Well what are you waiting for message him back, tell him yes.” She urged her daughter. “I can take Quinn for the evening so you can have some time alone.” She said, running her fingers through her daughters hair.

That afternoon Ryker walked up to Cici’s apartment door and knocked. He was wearing tan pants and a white button up with the sleeves rolled up. He had the top buttons unbuttoned so he looked more casual. He smiled as Cici opened the door. “Hey.” He said. He couldn’t believe she was standing in front of him. He frowned when he seen Chris. Ryker and Chris had never gotten along. He walked in with Cici, “What’s up champ.” He teased Chris. He was always a dick to the guy. He towered over Chris and was intimidating. Chris frowned, “I’m leaving.” He said, shaking his head. Ryker watched as Chris left then looked at Cici. “So how have you been?” He asked as he glanced around her apartment.

---

Allison was surprised when he said that he killed her ex, “He was a waste of space anyway.” She said, smiling. She looked up at him as his hand slipped under her dress. “Oh it makes me want you more.” She said as she placed her hands on his cheeks. She kissed him roughly as she pressed her body to his. It was so amazing finally having him touching her.

She pulled away from him, teasing him. She could tell that he was not a fan of not getting what he wanted. She stepped back from him and took his hands, “You have a habit of taking what you want. So do you want me?” She asked as she placed his hands on her sides.

Cici's mother, Liz, had surprised her by showing up before she started breakfast. She went on, and on about how she wanted to take Quinn for breakfast, and then maybe do some shopping. Cici happily agreed, and then found herself back in her bedroom, curled up on her phone. Her heart was racing with every ping.. Sounds great! Just message me when you're on your way! And yeah, her and I have kept in touch throughout the years... I help clean their house sometimes for extra cash.

It wasn't a total lie, but then again there wasn't much she could say. 'Oh, we actually talk weekly, so she can pay the child support that you don't know about. Also, you have a kid. My kid. We have one.' Cici threw her head back into her pillow, let out a loud sigh, and watched Chris wake up.

"Mornin'!" He yawned, and sat up stretching. He looked to Cici, then to her phone as it lit up with another message. "Ryker? As in Ryker Essex? As in Quinn's father, Ryker Essex?!"

"Gee, you sure know how to start your day. Yes, Ryker. No, he doesn't know he's Quinn's dad. And no, we didn't fuck. I just gave him a lap dance." Only a partial lie, but she wasn't ready for the third degree this early.

Chris scoffed, and got out of bed. "I'm gonna go grab something to eat. Where's Quinn?"

"Mom has her."

He didn't say anything, he just walked out of the room. She listened as the apartment door slammed a little harder than usual. Grabbing her phone, she sent one more message to Ryker. I'm apologizing now, in case Chris decides to be a prick. The two boys had never gotten along. Cici knew Chris from middle school, and she didn't mean Ryker until she was sixteen. Chris was head over heels in love with Cici, but she could never give the same feelings back. The two decided being best friends was enough, but something always picked at Cici about that, could Chris keep his feelings away?

___

Liz decided she was going to take Quinn for the evening, so Cici wanted to go all out with herself. It was only the late afternoon, so she didn't want to show too much. She settled on a black pencil skirt, and deep blue low cut top.

Chris had come back, and was eyeing her hard. She cleared her throat, and turned to her best friend. "Is this good?"

"Personally, I don't think you should even be seeing this guy, but whatever." He rolled his eyes, and continued playing on his phone. She was used to his moods being like this, she hated it, and it brought her down more than anything, but there wasn't much she could do.

Cici heard a knock, and practically ran for the door. Fixing herself, she opened the door with a smile. "Hey!" He always left her speechless. Ever since she met him the one day in gym. She motioned for him to come inside, then scrunched her nose up at the small spat between the two guys. Ryker wasn't intimidated by him, and she knew that. She shook her head as Chris left. "I've been good! Just working all the time, especially after graduation." Cici kicked one of Quinn's dolls under the couch, she didn't want to bring too much attention to her having a kid, yet.

"What have you been up to? Mr. High roller." She winked, and sat down on the couch. She leaned back, and motioned for him to sit next to her.

Zeke cocked an eyebrow at her response to her ex, then within moments had his hands grasped her tighter, pulling her closer. When she ripped away, he scoffed, and ran a hand through his hair. She was used to being the princess that got her way, she knew how to get what she wanted. He wasn't going to give her any satisfaction in her teasing game. "If I wanted you, you'd already be mine. I know that." He smirked, then turned towards the door. "You can play those teasing games with the little boys your age. But when you're ready to play with the big boys, I'll be around."

He walked out to the hallway, and made his way down the stairs. Stepping into the cool evening breeze, he lit up a cigarette (my god he has to have lung cancer), and started towards the bars. He wanted a cheap drink, and a quick lay. His mind wasn't set on romance, or having forever with someone. He was set on becoming a boss, and having people do the dirty work for him. Until he had that, women were nothing more than pawns for him. All people were.

___

Brothel Brothers Bar the flashing neon sign welcomed Zeke with open arms. He ordered his usual Jack & Coke, then started in with the stories of other gang members. Floozy's threw themselves at him, each begging for a chance with Zeke Louis, as if his name help some sort of trophy. Drunkenly, Zeke decided on a small blonde named Betty. Oddly enough, Betty resembled Allison, but only in size and hair color.

Nothing compared to Allison, not in Zeke's mind. She had always been a delicate angel, something about her made Zeke want to leave the gang, and just be around her. Though, he wouldn't admit to that, ever.

He came back to reality, as the cheap blonde was finishing him off. He smirked, patted her face, pulled on her pants, and started back to the house. He had his own room, downstairs near the basement. Locking the bedroom door behind him, or so his drunken state believed, he fell onto the bed and drifted into an intoxicated sleep.

Ryker shrugged, “Well I went to Africa for a month last summer.” He said. He thought for a moment, “I moved back here to finish med school.” He said, looking around the apartment. “As for today I went to work and was looking at apartments. If I have to stay with Henry for one more night I might be in jail.” He said, laughing softly as he looked out her window at the city.

Ryker looked around the apartment and then sighed as his phone went off, “Sorry.” He said before pulling his phone out. He sighed when he heard his mom on the other side of the phone asking where he was. “I’m with Cici.” He told her. He rolled his eyes at her words when she said she was going to come over, “Mom that’s really not…alright.” He said, “Bye.” He said, hanging up. He looked at Cici, “So my mom is coming over in a bit.” He said, “She doesn’t take no for an answer.” He said, laughing softly. He looked over, seeing the pictures of her and a little girl, “You have a kid?” He asked looking at her. It was clear in that moment that his parents hadn’t told him about Quinn like Cici thought they had. He turned to her, “When were you going to bring that up?” He asked, laughing softly. He could see that she was upset. “Hey, don’t worry.” He said, walking over to her. He ran his fingers through her hair, “I’m fine with that.” He said, kissing her forehead. He hugged her tightly to his body. He had missed her so much, “I missed you so much.” He whispered as he rested his cheek against her head. He looked over as her mom opened the door. He stepped back from her as a little girl came running and slammed into Cici’s legs. “Mommy!” She exclaimed. Ryker looked over, smiling as Cici’s mom came over and hugged him. “Hey.” He said, smiling as he pulled away. He had missed her mom as well. She was a mom when his mom couldn’t be.

Ryker looked at them both then sighed when he heard a knock at the door. He watched as Cici’s mom opened the door. His mom came in, sliding a box in. “What are you doing?” He asked, raising an eyebrow.

Gwen looked at them, “Well I figured since this I the first time I have seen Cici in awhile that I would bring a gift for her daughter.” She said. She looked at Quinn, “Go on.” She urged the girl.

Ryker was surprised at the giant dollhouse that his mom got the kid, “That was nice mom.” He said, smiling. He was so clueless in all of this and he just assumed his mom was making the best of the situation.

Gwen looked at Ryker, “Ry go get my purse from my car I forgot it.” She said, watching as he left. She turned to Cici and her mom, “Okay so I didn’t tell him yet.” She said, frowning as Cici’s mom asked her why. “It never came up.” She said, crossing her arms.

---

Allison walked down the stairs the next day, smiling when she seen Zeke. “Good morning dollface.” She teased him as she walked by him. She walked into the kitchen and got herself something to eat. She looked over at him through the doorway as her dad talked about how they had that new guys showing up today. When he looked at her she waved at Zeke. She loved messing with him so much. She knew she got under his skin and she was going to have him wrapped about her perfectly manicured finger.

Allison heard her dad mention Zeke going to pick up the new gang member. “I will go with him.” She said, her dad looking at her surprised. “We both know Zeke is not a people person and is intimidating.” She said, smiling up at Zeke. Her dad nodded, “Good point. Take Allie with you.” He said. He grabbed Zeke’s arm when he went to walk away, “Don’t let anything happen to her.” He warned him before he walked off. Allison looked at Zeke, eating the grape that was in her hand. “This should be fun.” She said, before she turned to grabbed her wallet. She grabbed her purse, “Lead the way.” She said.

Cici laughed lightly at his joke, but she was left speechless at where he had been, and what he was doing. She always knew he wanted to make something out of himself, especially after his drunk of a father, but she never envisioned him as a doctor. But it made sense, he was always so kind, always eager to help.. He would've been the support I truly needed during my pregnancy. It was already hard enough being a teen mom, but a single one with barely any support. She cleared her throat, "Some of the apartments in this building are for rent. But it's not the best neighborhood."

She was caught off guard by the phone call, and even more thrown off by his mother inviting herself over. The two of them hadn't really seen eye to eye over the years, she confided in Gwen about her pregnancy, in hopes she could help her tell Ryker. And instead she told her to not tell him, because he was doing something with his life. Unlike owning, and operating a strip club, like Cici's father had. "Sounds great! I haven't seen her in forever!" She watched as his eyes lit up when he saw the picture of her, and Quinn. "Um yeah!" She bit her lip, and sniffled a little. They really didn't tell him, she's four years old, and they still haven't even told him. Now, she was fighting back tears. She couldn't tell if they were ashamed that their son has a beautiful daughter, or that it was with her of all people.

Cici wrapped her arms around his torso, and buried herself into his chest. "I missed you so, so much. There's so much I need to tell you." She trailed off when the door swung open, and a very excited Quinn came running for her legs. She scooped the munchkin up, her eyes were shining just like Rykers. It hurt her heart that she couldn't just tell him.

Quinn ran right over to the box, and tore open the box. She screamed, and jumped up and down. "Mommy! Mommy! Castle!" She squealed, and turned around in circles. Quinn was distracted, and before Cici realized it, Ryker was downstairs.

"Gwen, we have to tell him. There's no way I can keep this a secret anymore. You asked me to wait until he was done with school, then you claimed you told him over Christmas! Which apparently you didn't, because the picture of his daughter, threw him off!" Cici threw her hands in the air, and looked between the two grown women. They were grandmothers, and together acted as if they were 25 with no responsibilities unless they wanted them. "I'm telling him!"

Liz put her hands up in protest, "Now, now, let Gwen tell him."

"No! I carried his baby for nine months, I've had the countless sleepless nights, I've gone to the doctor appointments, I've changed all the diapers, I potty trained her! I'm fucking tell her goddamn father, that he's the father!" Cici didn't mean to be so abrupt, or burst like she did. But it was too much for her to carry on her shoulders, anymore.

•__•__•

He couldn't help but stare, her long legs, barely covered ass, and her body in general. It left him speechless, and hungry. He worked on ignoring her as best he could while Thomas talked to him about picking up a new member. "It's a couple hour car ride to the airport. Pick him up, bring him back here, and then take him out for a night on the town. Get him comfortable with you, and the scene."

Zeke nodded in understanding, and then almost audibly groaned when Allie suggested tagging along. He nodded to his boss, then rolled his eyes at Allie as he walked pass her. "Cmon." He grunted, as he made his way to the car. He opened Allie's door, then shut it. Climbing in on the drivers side, he was already annoyed as she grabbed the AUX cord. "Terrific. Not only do I get to babysit, but I get to listen to baby shit."

___

The drive was taking forever. Zeke couldn't handle it much longer. Slipping his hand into the glovebox in front of Allie, he rummaged around, then found the blunt he was looking for. He brought the sweet wrap to his lips, sparked it, and let the thick smoke roll from his lips. Thomas would be furious to know Zeke was smoking on the job, but he felt as though Allie wouldn't say anything. "Don't tell your old man." He handed the smoking object to her. "Want a hit?"

@ heroin bob.

Gwen looked at her, “Please don’t tell him yet.” She said, shaking her head. “I’m having a party for him tomorrow. Come and bring your friends and family. We can tell him afterwards.” She assured her. “You can tell him so you know that it actually happens.” She said. She looked over at Quinn who was completely absorbed by getting her toy out of the box. Quinn groaned when she seen it needed assembled, “Mommy!” She exclaimed, holding up the pieces.

Ryker walked back in and handed his wallet to his mom. He smiled at how Quinn was dumping the pieces out of the box. He looked at Cici who looked overwhelmed. Ryker moved over to where Quinn was, “Here I will help you put it together.” He said. Quinn looked at him, her eyes lighting up. “Okay.” She said, smiling. He may not have known that Quinn was his daughter, but he did know that she was Cici’s and that was enough for him to put the effort in.

Gwen looked at Cici, “I will see you tomorrow. It’s semi-formal so wear something nice.” She said. She looked at Ryker, taking in the fact of him with his daughter. It was almost too much to take in. “I will see you at home Ry.” She said, watching him give her a nod. She sighed as she left and shut the door.

Ryker smirked, “Well that was eventful.” He said, looking back at Cici with his adorable grin he had. He went back to assembling the castle for Quinn. Who the hell made this shit? He thought to himself.

Quinn watched him, her eyes following his every move. She let her eyes fall to his tattoo, seeing her mom’s name. “That’s my mommy’s name.” She said, placing her hand on his arm. “You must be bestest friends.” She said, smiling up at him.

Ryker smiled at the girl, “Yea we are.” He said to her. He finished the castle and leaned back, resting on his hands. He looked at Cici, “Okay I’m done.” He said, smiling. “But if this thing falls apart you are on your own.” He teased her as Quinn ran to go get some of her dolls.

---

Allison glared at him when he mentioned something about her music. “Um…no.” She said, turning on some rock music. She relaxed as he drove and was surprised when he reached over and pulled out a blunt. “My dad would not like that.” She teased him. She took the blunt from him when he offered it to her and took a hit from it. She wasn’t completely innocent, but her dad thought she was. She handed it back to Zeke and looked out the window. “So who is this guy that we are picking up anyway?” She asked him.

Allison bit her bottom lip lightly as she watched him, before he had time to object she had his jeans unzipped and pulled his dick out. She ran her tongue over his length, before she moved her mouth on him. She was bored so why not have some fun with him. She was amused at his surprised moan. Allison could tell that he liked it though.

@ RomanSky

Cici rolled her eyes at the idea of attending one of Gwen's parties. There was just something about being around a bunch of well off individuals that made her stomach hurt. That, and half of the men who she would be seeing tomorrow more than likely have seen her up close, and personal. She shivered at the thought. Switching the subject over to the castle, she huffed, then felt a wave of relief when Ryker offered to help.

She couldn't help but smile at the way the two of them were interacting. It made her heart swell. He still has my name on his arm? I thought he would've gotten that covered up. Cici laughed as Quinn ran off for her dolls, she looked to Ryker. "Thank you." She smiled softly, then looked over to her mother, who was ogling in the corner. "Mom, if you want to take Quinn, you're more than welcome to."

Quinn came running back with her dolls, "But mommy! I wants to play with Ryker!"

Liz laughed, "I think mommy wants to play with Ryker, too!" She winked at the two of them. "How about we go have a sleepover at my house?! Then tomorrow after the fun party, we can stay up all night playing with your new castle!" Grandma wasn't the right term for Liz, she preferred maw-maw if anything. Quinn excitedly agreed, and ran off to pack a pink bag with some of her clothes.

Cici looked to Ryker as her mother, and Quinn left. "So what did you want to do tonight?"

•__•__•

Zeke smiled as he puffed on the blunt, seeing his boss' daughter like this was a bit of a turn on. The last time he was interested in a girl, Allison scared her off. The only action, or any form of interaction he would get, was usually from cheap bimbos at the bar. He looked over to her for a moment, examining her body, taking every last inch of her in. "His name is Ramone."

The drive continued for a little bit longer, then before he knew it, Zeke was being greeted by a pair of pink lips, wrapped around his cock. He stifled a moan, and gripped the wheel tighter. Puffing on the blunt, he wasn't entirely sure how to handle the situation. On one hand, the boss's daughter, on the other, road head. He kept one hand on the wheel with the wrap in hand, then took his other and wrapped it in the long blonde hair. "Wanna act like a whore? Alright." He chuckled deeply, and moved her head with his hand. He didn't do it to her for long though, before his hand slipped down and cupped her ass.

@ heroin bob.

Ryker watched as Quinn left with Liz, then got to his feet. “Well we can do whatever you want. We can order some food and catch up if you want.” He suggested. He knew that ordering Chinese food had always been something she really liked. He wondered what had changed about her that he didn’t know. Ryker looked around her apartment, then looked back at her. “You don’t have to come tomorrow if you don’t want to.” He told her. He knew that Cici had never really been a fan of his family. Ryker looked out the window in her living room. He wanted to ask her more questions about Quinn, but he didn’t want to upset her. Hell he wanted to ask her about work, but he was sure that she didn’t want to talk about that. He looked at her and tried to think of something to say. “What do you want to talk about because honestly I have no clue.” He said, laughing.

He didn’t know why it felt so weird to be making casual conversation. Part of him felt like maybe she didn’t like him anymore. “We could go out to eat if you want to.” He offered. He didn’t mind taking her out. He would do anything she wanted to as long as he got to spend some time with her.

---

Allison moaned against his length as she felt his fingers wrap into her hair. She moved her mouth on him as she felt his hand go to her ass. She didn’t know what it was about Zeke that turned her on so much. Sure she had slept with a few guys, but Zeke was the only one that made her want him anywhere at any time. She pulled her mouth off of him, running her tongue along his length. She teased his tip with her tongue before she took his whole dick into her mouth. She was surprised herself that she had managed to take all of him in her mouth. She heard him moan, knowing that he was enjoying it as much as she was.

@ RomanSky

"We can order Chinese! I really feel like putting on a pair of sweatpants, I'm not into dressing up all the time." She laughed nervously. "Work has me doing that enough." She shrugged, and walked back to her bedroom. She switched up into something comfier. Coming back to the living room, she thought about the party tomorrow, and bit her lip. "To be honest, I'm not all that excited, but I have to go. There's something important that needs to be said, apparently. And your mom wants me to do it tomorrow." She shrugged. "She said she'd hand me the paper tomorrow with what I'm supposed to announce."

Cici just wanted to tell him, she wanted to tell him all about Quinn, and the strip club, and her dad buying it out. She wanted to explain the last four years of her life to him, but she couldn't until tomorrow. It frustrated her. She huffed, and pouted her lip. "Do you have any kids?" She blurted out the first question she had gotten so used to asking guys. Even though she knew the answer, but he didn't, she was still anxious to see if he had any other girls hiding around. "Or do you even want any?" She liked him, hell, she still loved the guy.

Taking a seat on the couch, she tucked her feet under herself, and chewed on her lip. "I just don't want to scare guys off. Whenever someone has met Quinn, they usually stop talking to me. So I started being upfront about everything. I haven't introduced any guys to her, besides Chris." She laughed dryly at the thought. "You're the only other one." Cici let her eyes linger on his tattoo, it made hers feel like it was on fire.

•__•__•

Zeke was enjoying the girl taking his every inch, but it was soon cut short by a FaceTime call with, Thomas. Zeke answered the FaceTime, and kept the phone up as high as he could. "Hello, sir!"

"Have you picked him up yet?"

"Not yet. We should be there soon." His face gave way to a funny look.

"Well, hurry. But be careful." He hung up the phone call, and Zeke let out a suppressed moan. He threw his head back, and pulled the car over to the side of the road. Grabbing Allies hips, he pulled her onto his lap.

"I want you. Now." He growled, biting into her collarbone, sucking and leaving deep purple bruises. He tore her shorts to the side, pushed the seat back, and bucked his hips so his length was rubbing against her slit. "There's no teasing. You're mine. Right now." His hands held her hips tight, he pushed himself against her more.

@ heroin bob.

Ryker nodded, “Well Chinese food it is.” He said. He watched as she walked off then sat down on the couch. He was a little surprised when she asked if he had a kid, “Well no.” He said, shaking his head. He shrugged at her next question, “I mean I guess I do.” He said. He wanted kids, but he wanted them with Cici. He didn’t even know if she still wanted to be with him. He listened to her when she talked about guys running off when they met Quinn. “Well then they weren’t really into you for the right reasons then.” He said. “Are you and Chris a thing?” He asked. He really hoped they weren’t and he assumed after last night that Cici was single. Ryker looked over the Chinese food menu, then decided on chicken and broccoli and fried rice. “Do you want fried wontons?” He asked her. He knew that she had always like them. “And egg rolls.” He said, before the words left her mouth. He smirked, “You haven’t changed a bit Cici.” He said, leaning over and kissing her. He pulled his phone out and called, placing their order. He hung up and leaned back against the couch, putting his arm around her. “So tell me what all you have been up to.” He said.

---

Allison watched as he pulled over then gasped as he pulled her into his lap. She moaned as he bit her collarbone, “Fuck.” She breathed as she kissed him roughly. She smiled as he ripped her shorts then moaned as she moved her hips to his thrust. She slid onto his dick and gasped as she felt him began to thrust into her. She placed her hands on his chest as she began to fuck him roughly. She knew the kind of guy Zeke was and she knew that he would certainly be into rough sex. “Oh fuck me!” She screamed as she threw her head back and placed her hand on the window beside of them. Allison knew that if her dad found out about this that he would kill Zeke. Maybe that was why it was so appealing. It was a dangerous situation and Allison loved danger. She moved her hands to his chest and dug her nails into his skin, leaving marks on him as she felt him thrust into her. She screamed in pleasure as she felt her orgasm wash over her. “Fuck!” She gasped as she grabbed his face roughly and kissed him, her lips crashing hard against his. His words before they start still floating through her mind. You’re mine Damn right she was his.

@ RomanSky

It reassured her that he didn't have any kids with anyone else, it would make tomorrow's announcement a little bit easier. And knowing he wanted kids, it made her feel even better. He might actually be willing to stick around, and the two of them could work on something serious. Ever since Cici had met Ryker, she wanted to have a family with him. That's why it broke her heart when she was told she couldn't tell him anything about her pregnancy, or Quinn being his. She laughed when he asked about Chris. "He wishes we were a thing! I mean the kid is my best friend, and he's helped out so much with Quinn. But dating him would never happen." She smiled and shook her head.

Cici blushed, and felt butterflies rush through her body when he remembered her order. She happily accepted the kiss from him, and without hesitation she found herself curled up in his side. She began playing with his fingers while they rested on her shoulder. "Well, besides being a young mom, and a stripper, not a whole lot. After I found out I was pregnant with Quinn, and her father leaving, I decided that college would have to wait. But I did finish high school, and got my diploma." She pulled out a picture of her with Quinn on her hip, wearing her grad cap. "Then I started waitressing at a few different places, and my dad helped me get this apartment." She picked at her nails a bit, "And actually right before Quinn turned one, my dad actually bought the strip club, and said when I was ready I could work there."

She knew how weird that sounded, but her dad did it for the fact it was a goldmine. Los Angeles is a busy night city. And dirty men, they pay a lot. Her family protected her, and she actually enjoyed her job. "So now I work there, and do some modeling on the side when I have the chance. But I'm mostly kept busy taking care of Quinn, and spoiling her as much as I can." Cici grabbed her phone, and pulled up her album dedicated to Quinn. She started scrolling through them, from the time Quinn was born, up until just yesterday when she decided to take Cici's red lipstick. Since Ryker hadn't been around for the first four years, she wanted to try and show him as much as possible. But some of the pictures, it was almost hard to deny who her father was. She just hoped he wouldn't catch on. "Anyway, enough about my life..." she was cut off by her doorbell ringing.

Cici came back with the Chinese food in hand, "I think it's time for a movie, and a meal!" She smiled, and went to the kitchen to grab them a bottle of wine, and two glasses.

___

As the night went on, she couldn't help but feel a sense of happiness that she hadn't had in so long. "I know you mentioned your moms party earlier, but I do want to go. Quinn loves getting dressed up, and I know she'd have fun seeing everyone telling her how cute she is." Plus, Cici was more than ready to tell him. She was ready to see what their future could hold.

•__•__•

Zeke didn't know how to react, other than to moan, and keep his hands on her hips. She took over the situation, and he was completely fine with that. Feeling her cum, made his orgasm come faster. Without even realizing it, he had finished and was panting just has hard as she was. He accepted the kiss, and lightly wrapped his arms around her waist. "Alright, we better get going before your dad calls me again." He chuckled, and started to fix his pants. "Also, my bedroom door will be unlocked tonight."

___

Pulling up to the airport, a stocky man with dirty blonde hair came towards the car. He got into the back, and sniffed the air. "Smells like weed." Was all he said. Zeke looked to Allison, and a wave of worry washed over him. He was hoping that this new guy wouldn't tell Thomas about his car reeking of both sex, and weed.

"Yeah. I picked some up before we got you. I'm more than willing to smoke when we get back to the house." He wanted to make nice with the guy, but wasn't too sure how. There was a reason Allison came with him, but he didn't want her talking to this guy at all.

Ramone looked to Allison, "Who's the bitch?"

Zeke turned around, and glared. "Our boss' daughter, you fucking idiot."

His face turned a deep shade of red, and he looked down to his hands. The rest of the car ride, he was completely silent. Zeke believed after that little moment, he wouldn't have to worry about him saying something like that again.

___

Getting out of the car, he watched Ramone walk up, and inside first. He waited a moment, then grabbed Allison before she could go inside. "I'm serious about my room, tonight. We don't even have to fuck." He honestly just wanted to be around her. He wasn't softening up, but he knew he had a big job to do the next day, and he was afraid if Allie caught word of it, she wouldn't want to be around him anymore.

He was told that he needed to take care of Thomas' brother, James. He apparently did some things to Thomas' wife, and he wanted him to pay. But he knew how close Allie and her uncle were. He was terrified.

@ heroin bob.

Ryker smiled as he looked over the pictures that Cici was showing him. “She’s adorable. I always knew that you’d make cute kids.” He teased her. He watched as she brought the food back, “Sweet I’m starving.” He said as he opened up the food. He began to eat and listened to her talk. He didn’t want to comment on the whole strip club thing because he hated seeing her working that job. He finished eating then leaned back against his seat. He looked at the wine in front of him and looked back at her. He hadn’t touched it because he refused to drink two days in a row.

He smiled when she mentioned the party, “I’m glad you decided to come. Those parties are always so boring. It’s more of a chance for them to try to show off than anything.” He said. “I’m sure Quinn will have fun though.” He assured her. He was just hoping that Henry wouldn’t be mean to Cici. He had a habit of treating her badly. Ryker thought for a moment, “Are you going to bring Chris?” He asked. He assumed that she would because they were best friends. Even if Ryker didn’t like Chris he had never told Cici not to talk to him. That was her friend and he wasn’t going to take that away from her. He just put up with Chris and ignored his dirty looks.

---

Once they got back to the house Allison got out of the car and was surprised when Zeke grabbed her. She nodded when he said he was serious about her coming to his room. “Okay I will come to your room tonight.” She said softly. She was still kind of pissed at Ramone for calling her a bitch, but she knew exactly how to take care of it. She walked inside and looked at her dad when he asked how it went. “Oh great.” She said as she started to walk up the stairs, “Except your new friend over there called me a bitch.” She said, watching as her dad glared at the guy. She smiled as her dad wrapped his hands around the kids throat and yelled at him, “Oops.” She said cutely before she continued to walk upstairs. She walked to her bedroom and stripped out of her clothes before she took a bath. She was sure that her dad didn’t kill the Ramone, but she wanted him to know that she wasn’t going to take his shit.
---
Later that night Allison walked out of her room. She knew that her dad was already a asleep and everyone had gone home except for a few guys that stayed in the house. She walked to Zeke’s door and thought for a moment. Maybe she was getting to him or maybe he just wanted to fuck her again. Either way it turned out pretty good for her. She opened the door, shutting it softly. Allison heard him in the bathroom, probably brushing his teeth or something. She sat on his bed, waiting for him to come out. She laid back on it and stared up at the ceiling. His bed was so soft and it made her tired just laying there. She looked over as he opened his bathroom door, “Miss me?” She asked cutely in her usual tone when she was teasing him.

@ RomanSky

Cici finished her glass of wine, she noticed Ryker wasn't touching his, then she remembered how much he had to drink the night before. She laughed to herself, "Do you water or something?" She sat back, and chewed on her nail for a moment. "Probably not, he is my best friend, but Henry already doesn't like me. And I know he doesn't like Chris. I don't want to start anything tomorrow that we can avoid." Cici looked down at her phone, and saw a text from her mother.

Quinn said she loves you, and Ryker! How cute! Have a good night xx

She showed Ryker the text, then kissed his cheek. "I'm really happy you're here. I've honestly missed you..." she trailed off, then grabbed for his hand. She laced their fingers together, and pecked his lips. Something about being with him was comforting for her, all she wanted was to sleep in his arms, and have their family. She was both nervous, and excited to see how he would react to Quinn being his.

Zeke chuckled as Thomas handled Ramone, he couldn't blame him, he wanted to do the same thing when the pig opened his mouth. Sighing, he wandered out of the office, and to his bedroom. He picked up a bit, changed his sheets, pulled out his outfit for the next day, and then hopped in the shower. He watched dry blood that he hadn't gotten out of his hair, or off of him entirely, wash down the drain. It was another persons life that he ended. He wasn't sure how to feel, he felt sick, but he was used to it.

Scrubbing his scalp, he rinsed the almost white bubbles from his hair. He just wanted to feel normal for one night while he was with Allie. He knew after tomorrow, he wouldn't be able to look her in the eye. He would feel terrible for what he had done. Zeke had been in the life for a very long time, but nothing ever prepared him for falling in love with someone he wasn't supposed to have at all. Nothing prepared him for having to break her heart, after just getting it.

Drying off, and brushing his teeth, he heard his bedroom door open. Stepping into his bedroom, he smiled at the familiar voice. "Always." He almost jumped into the bed, his arms wrapping around her frame, kissing her neck, and cheeks. "I've wanted to do this for so long." Zeke buried his face in her chest, and relaxed his entire body for a moment. He breathed her in, she smelled like vanilla. He softly kissed her chest, then looked up to her. Taking in every little detail, the way her eyes were sparkling, her small smile. He wanted to enjoy every second.
