21. Layla

Chapter twenty-one

Layla

B efore I strolled outside, I mussed up my hair to complete my sexed-up look. As I approached, I studied the officers on the other side of the gate. Some of them were trying to see through the gate to the wall where we had gunned down Anton’s men. Unfortunately for them, they weren’t going to see a damn thing to give them probable cause, and without a warrant, they weren’t stepping foot on my property.

“Miss Romano?” the particularly agitated officer who spoke to Joe earlier asked.

“Yes?”

“Ma’am, can we come inside and talk to you?”

“We can talk just fine like this,” I replied.

He clenched his jaw but maintained his hold on his anger. “If that’s how you wish to play this, fine, but I’ll come back with a warrant,” he threatened.

“Are you threatening me, Officer? Because if you are, I think I should probably call my lawyer.” I peered past him and widened my eyes at what I saw while he decided how he wanted to proceed. “Joe! How the fuck did you miss this?”

“I don’t have a good answer for that, Boss,” Joe said, hanging his head in embarrassment.

“All due respect, Miss Romano,” the cop said, “but how the fuck did you miss it? It had to have sounded like World War Three out here.”

I let a playful smile flirt across my face as I let the shoulder of my robe slip down, revealing some of the lace beneath. “Well, Officer, my house is well insulated. I don’t normally hear street sounds from the back of the house, and I was a little... busy... with my men.”

The officer blushed three different shades of pink. “Oh... well... ahem... umm....”

I waited patiently as he stammered through how to reply to my statement.

“I still don’t see how there could be a shoot-out in front of your house, and it has nothing to do with you,“ he finally spits out.

I shrugged my shoulders, the other shoulder of my robe sliding off. “I have no idea why they were here. Maybe someone is trying to set me up. One of your officers did just that not too long ago. I lost a lot of good men trying to help ACPD take Anton Kandicci down.”

“I’ll take it from here,” a voice said from the shadows of my wall.

I looked in the direction of the voice as Officer Scarni stepped into the light. I hid my smile, but he did little to contain his smirk as he glanced at me.

“I was the first officer on the scene,” the other officer argued. “This is my case.”

“And I outrank you,” Officer Scarni replied. “The case is mine. Make yourself useful and call in a bus to collect the bodies and a few wreckers to hook the cars. Now!” The officer cursed under his breath but didn’t continue arguing as he shot me a dirty look and left the drive.

“That’s quite the outfit, Boss,” Officer Scarni commented once the officer was out of earshot.

I grinned at him as I pulled the collar back in place. “Some occasions call for a more feminine look,” I replied.”

“Mmhmm. You know, Joe, I hadn’t realized the last time I was here that you had a hearing problem.”

“Comes and goes,” Joe replied.

Officer Scarni chuckled. “I bet it does.” He refocused on me after nodding to Tyler, Colt, and Drew. “Do I want to know what happened here?”

“Probably not,” I replied honestly.

He nodded. “Well, ma’am,” he said loud enough for his voice to carry, “I apologize for the interruption tonight. It seems you were the unlucky resident to have a gang war in front of your house.”

“Unlucky indeed,” I replied. “This used to be a nice neighborhood.”

“We’ll get it all cleaned up and out of your hair. If you want the city to fix the holes in your wall, the police report will be available within forty-eight hours,” Scarni announced.

“Thank you, Officer...”

“Scarni, Ma’am. Officer Scarni.”

“Well, thank you, Officer Scarni. I’ll keep that in mind. Have a good evening,” I replied.

“You as well, ma’am.” Scarni tipped his invisible hat to me and walked away. I stayed at the gate a little longer as the previous cop came running up to him.

“Sir! It doesn’t take a first-year forensic science major to tell that the people on the street weren’t shooting at each other but at Miss Romano’s compound. Some of these cars have bullet holes in the sides! Those got there only if they were being fired upon from the wall. I really do insist that we not move anything until we get a proper team down here to investigate.”

“That one is like a dog after a bone,” Colt murmured behind me.

I nodded. “That he is. Ty, keep an eye on him. The last thing we need is a too-ambitious cop scrutinizing us.”

“I suspect he’ll get a talking to when he gets back to the station,” Drew said.

“Let’s hope,” I replied as Scarni scolded him. “We have such a good relationship with ACPD. I’d hate for some nobody to come along and ruin it. Call Zach and tell him to stay put until the street clears. I won’t be pleased if I have to bail him out of jail because he got arrested trying to come home.”

As we returned inside, I checked the time on my watch and mentally calculated how long it had been since Tuck and his team left for the cabin. “Should we have heard from them by now?” I asked.

“Don’t worry, Layla,” Tyler replied. “Tuck will call us when they’re safe.”

I didn’t ask the question stewing inside of me. What if they weren’t safe? I couldn’t go there. They had to be safe. We returned to our bedroom, and I flopped onto the bed with my legs dangling over the side. I could feel the exhaustion begin to seep in. That was until Drew stepped between my legs and teased his fingers up my bare thighs. I popped one eye open to look at him with my eyebrow cocked.

“Can I help you?”

“I sure hope so. I’ve been sporting a semi since Colton made you come against the wall at the safe house.”

I grinned at him and sat up. “Well, maybe I can help with that,” I purred, reaching for his belt.

“I was hoping you would say something like that,” Drew replied.

I scooted my butt to the edge of the bed, finished undoing his pants, and slid them down. His hard cock stood straight out from his body to greet me, and I nuzzled my face against it before licking at the tip to collect a bead of precum. I loved the taste of their cum, possibly more than a normal girl would, but when you have five— four guys, a healthy appetite, an enjoyment of cum is to be expected.

While I lapped teasingly at Drew’s dick, Colton kneeled behind me and uncinched my robe, sliding it off my body. His large hands cupped my breasts through my bra, lifting and massaging them. “I wanted to tear these off as soon as you put them on,” Colt said. “Now I think I like the idea of you keeping them on. What do you think, brothers?”

“Definitely,” Tyler replied as he stripped out of his clothes to the side.

“Fuck, yes,” Drew moaned as I suckled at the tip of his cock while stroking him slowly.

“Open wide,” Colt ordered as he placed his hand on the back of my head and pushed me further onto Drew. Colt nibbled on my neck while forcing me to bob up and down, grinding his erection into my ass as he moved his body with me to stay latched to my neck.

Tyler lifted my hand to his stiff cock, and I moaned around Drew as I trailed my thumb over his piercings. Somehow, I always seemed surprised by them. It wasn’t that I forgot they were there, but that my brain still had trouble equating my formerly shy, nerdy lover with someone who would get their cock pierced multiple times.

“Want a taste of Tyler too, Hellcat?” Colton asked.

“Mmhmm,” I hummed.

Colton pulled my mouth off of Drew and onto Tyler. Each of my men had distinct tastes, and I loved them all.

“Who wants bottom?” Colton asked as he used me like a cock sleeve to stroke Tyler’s dick.

“I’ll take the bottom,” Tyler moaned, pulling out of my mouth.

Colton looped an arm around my stomach and lifted me off the bed. Tyler settled across the bottom of the bed with his ass in the corner so that Drew and Colt would be able to reach me from the sides. As he lowered me onto Tyler, Colton trailed his hands down my body as he moved behind me.

“There’s just one thing I need to do to get you ready,” he said as he grabbed my lace panties. His fingers dug into the gusset, and I heard a ripping sound as he tore them open in the middle. “There. That’s much better.”

“Are you fucking serious, Colt?” I complained. It didn’t matter that the move was fucking hot as hell and had me dripping. Sexy lace panties were fucking expensive! And it was part of a set!

“I did warn you I wanted to tear them off you,” he chuckled.

My following words were cut off by a moan as Tyler lifted me and dropped me onto his cock. “Oh fuck,” I hissed as my weight forced him deep inside me. I rocked forward and back slowly, teasing us both. On a forward rock, Tyler wrapped his arms around me and trapped me in place while he ravished my breast with his teeth and tongue.

Drew moved behind me and slapped my ass, making me yelp and my pussy tighten around Tyler, causing him to groan. “Back that ass up,” Drew ordered.

Tyler released his hold on me so I could slide back down his dick and into position for Drew. I wasn’t surprised when he ignored my rosebud. While neither was against anal, Drew and Tyler liked to test the elasticity of my pussy. I think Drew secretly likes the feeling of Tyler’s piercings against his cock as much as I do.

I stilled like the good little cock hungry hussy I was and relaxed my body. Slowly, Drew guided himself to my entrance alongside Tyler and pushed in. The initial penetration was usually the most challenging part. Once he got his head through, though, it was smooth sailing. I rested my forehead on Tyler’s shoulder and whimpered as Drew pushed harder to gain access.

“Such a good girl for us,” Tyler crooned in my ear as he stroked my back. “You take our cocks like a fucking champ, Layla. He’s almost got it.”

“Fuck, there it is, Baby,” Drew groaned as the head finally popped in as if I couldn’t fucking feel it. I knew the pain would only last a moment, so I gritted my teeth as they filled me to the brim. The pleasure was well worth the pain.

“That’s so fucking hot,” Colton groaned from behind me. “Look at how pretty your pussy looks stretched around two cocks.” I felt him stroke the stretched skin lightly before dipping a finger inside me. He slid it down so that he was pressing against the front wall, and his thumb began circling my clit. “I wonder if it could take three.”

My hips jerked on their own volition, making us all moan. “Over my dead fucking body,” I ground out. I loved them, but my vagina had a two cock limit.

“Then maybe we’ll have to squeeze my cock into your ass one day,” Colt suggested, moving his wet finger to my pucker and pressing the tip inside.

“Nope. New rule. Only two cocks inside my nether regions at once.”

Colton bent forward and licked the shell of my ear as he pumped his finger in my ass. “I bet you I would have you begging for it first,” he growled. “I know how hungry this little body is for our cocks. We’ll revisit the topic another day. Right now, I need to be down your throat.” He moved to my head as I braced myself on Tyler’s shoulders. A drop of precum was growing from his slit, and he presented it to me like a gift, which I eagerly accepted.

“Look at me, Hellcat,” Colt ordered as he smoothed the hair from my face. My eyes lifted to meet his, and he caressed my cheek softly. “Such a good girl. Why can’t you always be this obedient? I narrowed my eyes at him, and just as I was about to remind him what precious body part was between my teeth, he squeezed my jaw to prevent me from biting down. It wasn’t like I was going to bite hard. Just a little bite. He clicked his tongue at me and shook his head. “Naughty. Open up that throat for me, beautiful, so I can watch you choke on my cock.”

I quickly did as I was told as I rocked forward, taking him in deeper and signaling Drew and Tyler that I was ready to be fucked. Simply being stuffed had my pussy ready to combust, but as soon as everyone began to move, I felt myself start to shake. It was so fucking good. Too good.

Drew and Tyler set a slow and steady pace, drawing out our lovemaking and keeping me right at the cusp of completion with every stroke. I swallowed around Colt as a deep moan was dragged from my body, and my eyes fell closed as I basked in the pleasure coursing through my body.

“Eyes on me, Layla,” Colt grunted as he pulled out and then snapped his hips forward to bury himself down my throat. “Keep those gorgeous brown eyes on me.”

My eyes snapped open but almost fell closed again as Tyler sucked one of my nipples into his mouth. I was so close I knew a little more pressure to my clit would send me off into the abyss, but as I shifted my weight and slid one of my hands between me and Tyler, I was thwarted.

“I don’t think so, Layla,” Drew rumbled. He looped my elbows over his arm, using his hold as leverage, which bowed my back. This new angle had their dicks hitting differently in the most delicious way but also kept my hands from being able to reach my clit. “You’ll come when we decide, and not any sooner.”

I growled in frustration around the cock in my mouth. One of these days, I was going to fucking be in charge, and then I would edge each one of them into oblivion. Maybe I should order some cock cages. That could be fun. Colton slapped my face lightly to get me to focus on what we were doing. I could think about cock cages later.

“What the fuck!” Zach yelled as he opened the bedroom door. “I’m off working, and you’re fucking my girl without me?”

“Our girl,” the three of them said at once.

“Whatever,” Zach said, getting naked. “Let me in on this action. Colt, share.” Zach tried to nudge him out of the way, but Colt shoved him back.

“Fuck off and wait your turn,” he growled.

“This is so unfair,” Zach pouted as he stroked his cock near my face.

“Think about it this way,” Tyler grunted. “You can have her all to yourself when we’re finished.” Zach perked up a little at that thought. Not having to share at all was always better than sharing. Well, maybe not always, I thought as Drew and Tyler groaned. They were getting just as much pleasure from each other as they were from me.

“Come here, fuckwad,” Colton sighed, pulling out of my throat. “Layla has a rule about how many cocks she takes between those heavenly thighs, but she never said anything about how many she’d take in her mouth.

My eyebrows shot up, and just as I moved my head back and opened my mouth to say exactly what I thought about that, which was hell fucking no, I don’t need a broken jaw, thanks, Drew held my head in place. Colt grabbed Zach’s dick, held their heads together, and stuffed them both in my mouth.

“Use that tongue, Baby,” Zach purred.

What I really wanted to use was my teeth, but I was rather fond of the dicks... and their appendages. I had no business having so many penises inside my person, but when you’re with multiple men, that’s the risk you take. Drool dripped from my mouth uncontrollably, and I couldn’t get any suction, but neither man seemed to mind. The visual of my mouth stretched around them seemed to be enough.

Drew and Tyler increased their speed, and I prayed that they would let me come this time.

“We need her hands,” Colt moaned. Tyler supported me from below, and Drew released me. I quickly wrapped both hands around the cocks in my mouth as best I could, given their positions, and concentrated on jerking them off. Everyone was moaning, and it felt like we were sprinting to the finish line. Drew fell first, yanking my head back as he slammed into me one last time, and we all fell behind him like a line of dominos. I came, triggering Tyler. Colt and Zach knocked my hands away and finished themselves off on my face.

All the strength left my body as I collapsed on Tyler.

“Sucks being on the bottom of these things, doesn’t it,” Drew chuckled.

“At least I kept my mouth shut,” Tyler retorted.

W hen I got out of the shower later, Tyler was standing in our bedroom with a towel wrapped around his waist, water drops trailing down his back. And he was on the phone.

“Is that Tuck?” I asked anxiously.

He nodded. “Yeah, Tuck, hold on. I’ll let you talk to her.”

I took the phone from him. “What happened?” I asked.

“The important thing to know is that Jennifer and Autumn are safe,” Tuck said. “Your cabin… well… let’s just say it has a few holes in it, and your men are dead. Most of them were killed before we arrived. A small number of them belonged to Anton. We arrived in time, and neither Autumn nor Jennifer were injured. We’re moving them to a safe house now.”

“Where?”

“I can’t tell you that, ma’am,” Tuck replied. “That’s what makes it safe.”

I wanted to argue, but I knew he was right. I had a staffing issue, and until I had that under control, their location couldn’t be kept safe. “Can I talk to them?”

“Yep. One second.” I heard speaking in the background, and then Jennifer got on the phone.

“Layla?”

I dropped to the bed in relief at hearing her calm voice. “I am so fucking sorry I’ve put you and Autumn in danger, Jen.”

“Stop.”

The ice in her tone made me pause more than her order. “What?”

“Stop taking the blame for everything, Layla. If it weren’t for you, I’d still be with that psycho, and I can’t even begin to think about where Autumn might have ended up. You saved us. And now you’ve saved us again by sending Tucker and his team. I can never repay you for what you’ve done for us, but I can stop you from piling guilt that isn’t yours onto your shoulders.”

A lump formed in my throat, and I blinked back tears as she continued passionately.

“And as for Sean, I saw how much you loved that man. If he had to die, I have no doubt you had a damned good reason.”

“He was the one who leaked my location to Anton so that he could kidnap me in hopes that it would convince me to walk away from Atlantic City,” I told her.

“Well then, I’m glad the bastard is dead,” Jen replied. “Fuck him. Autumn’s just a kid, it’s hard for her to understand things like this, but you aren’t a monster, Layla. You have every reason to be one, but you’re still one of the most caring people I’ve ever met, and I’m proud to call you my friend.”

“Thank you,” I said earnestly. I hadn’t known Jen for long, but she quickly became a good friend, and I was grateful to have her in my life.

“Now, don’t worry about us. We’re in good hands. I’m keeping your ring safe.”

“Keep it,” I told her. “I think you’ve earned it.”

“I can’t do that, Layla. This is your ring.”

“Then I’ll have one waiting for you when you get back, and we can trade,” I replied.

“Sounds good. Be careful, Layla. And kill the bastard.”

“I will,” I promised. “You be safe as well. Call me if you have any problems.”

We hung up, and I handed Tyler back his phone. He knelt in front of me and comfortingly rubbed my thighs. “Feel better now?”

“Yes,” I replied, “and no.”

“No?” Drew asked, climbing on the bed behind me to towel dry and brush out my hair.

“Anton has far too many of his men planted inside this organization. By the time Tuck got there, he said that a small group of traitors had already killed the rest of my men. Tomorrow, I want to go through the files of everyone left in this organization with a fine-toothed comb. If he has any more spies, I want to know about them.”

“Should we bring the other Capos in to help?” Colt asked.

I nodded. “Yes, but only after we clear them.”

“Arms up,” Zach ordered. I raised my arms, and he slipped one of his shirts over my head. “No more talk about tomorrow,” he said, placing a chaste kiss on my lips. “It’s been a long day, and it’s time to get some sleep. Scootch up.”

I crawled up the bed and climbed under the covers as the lights went off, and my men cuddled around me.

Overall, today was a good day, and tomorrow would be even better. We were getting closer to taking Anton down for good. I could feel it.
