I wanted Lincoln to only comfort me, but instead, the magnetism of his body suddenly made my s.e.x ache. I wanted to be filled.
I really needed to get laid.
Maybe it would make me feel alive again?
I thought of Shadow, and how he used me to satisfy his urge in the kitchen of the theatre. It felt amazing at the time, but the way he treated me after-like a wh.o.r.e he had paid for-tore my heart open.
Meanwhile, it was Lincoln who made me feel safe over the past couple of weeks. It was Lincoln who consoled me from the start of this entire ordeal, who called me back while we were standing on the rooftop of the Inferno when I wanted to leave. He-not Shadow-had offered to protect me. Even though I was a complete mess inside, it was Lincoln who managed to steal a few laughs out of me. My heart raced and I began breathing harder as I thought of Lincoln taking me like he had Juno, filling my ears with his dirty words. My b.r.e.a.s.t.s felt heavy with desire as I closed my eyes and envisioned his mouth-his tongue-tasting my skin while I filled my hands with his throbbing c.o.c.k.
I just needed something to make me feel different-anything to drag me out of this rut-and Lincoln could provide that to me.
"Lincoln?" I whispered.
No reply.
I looked up and realized he had fallen asleep.
"You're kidding me," I muttered to myself, disappointed.
I sighed. Perhaps it was for the best. Maybe unhinged angry s.e.x wasn't going to make me feel any better at the moment.
I closed my eyes and lay there silently, doing my best to ignore the ache and the wetness in between my legs. Instead, I listened to the beating of his wild, voodoo heart.
Chapter Fifteen.
Shadow The last time I'd seen Reiko was eight years ago, during a formal dinner party hosted by the Academy. She had looked stunning in her form-fitting red gown that clung tightly to the curves of her pet.i.te body. She'd turned the heads of every male that pa.s.sed by her.
Reiko always had been a conservative dresser, wearing thick sweaters, turtle necks, and long jackets that concealed her figure. But that night, she surprised us all-me especially. I didn't think anything Reiko wore could have shocked me more.
That was up until ten seconds ago, when Cairo opened the door of their penthouse condo which overlooked the water in Kwun Tong district.
"Uhhh..." were the only words I had.
Eight years had changed Reiko significantly. Her long hair, flowing past her shoulders, was gone, replaced with a short spiky look, decorated with red highlights that streaked through her natural black like a fiery blaze. Reiko never used to wear make-up, preferring to go with a natural look, but now her lips were a deep ocean blue, matching the shade of mascara painted on her eyes. Her ears showcased a mult.i.tude of piercings, capping off her gothic ensemble.
What really surprised me was what she was wearing. It looked like a cross between a kinky school girl outfit and something out of a s.m.u.tty j.a.panese cartoon. My eyes gravitated towards the angel wings on her back.
This was weird. I had caught her while dressed up in some type of s.e.xual role play costume.
Reiko stared at me like a deer caught in headlights.
Not knowing what to do, I turned and looked at Cairo, who himself looked embarra.s.sed.
"It's not what it looks like," he stammered.
I raised a brow. "I'm sure."
"Shadow," Reiko said, her eyes wide with surprise. She made no effort to conceal herself, her b.r.e.a.s.t.s practically spilling out of the schoolgirl outfit "It's been a while."
"Hi Reiko," I said, doing my best to ignore the fact that probably only twenty percent of her body was actually clothed.
"I wasn't informed that we'd be having guests," she said, her eyes flas.h.i.+ng Cairo an angry glance. "As you can see, I had something else planned for the evening. I'll change into something more appropriate."
She walked slowly down the hall towards the bedroom area.
"You're in trouble," I whispered to Cairo, my eyes fixated on Reiko's gorgeous body.
"Don't I know it," he sighed, turning to me. "Hey, are you staring at my girl?"
"You've done very well for yourself," I said, watching as Reiko entered into a room and closed the door behind her.
"f.u.c.k, after tonight, I wouldn't be surprised if she tossed my sorry a.s.s out onto the streets of Hong Kong," Cairo said.
I walked over to the couch in the living room and collapsed onto it, gently touching the side of my cheek. It still felt tender.
Cairo took the seat across from me.
"So Reiko's outfit," I began "Let's not go there."
"Fetish?"
"You didn't see nothing."
"Was she supposed to look like a j.a.panese cartoon? What do they call them again? Anime?"
"Get out of my condo."
"This is actually my condo," I heard Reiko holler from the bedroom. "And yes, Cairo has a thing for anime girls."
Cairo looked up at the ceiling and shook his head. "For the love of..."
"You learn something new every day," I grinned.
Reiko returned to the living room, wearing a grey t-s.h.i.+rt and a pair of jeans. She left her urban-goth style make up intact.
"Want anything?" she asked.
I shook my head, leaning forward.
"I need your help Reiko," I said, getting straight to the point.
I explained everything to her. I told her about the events of that night at the Inferno, and how Calisto had betrayed the Midnight Society, murdering the entire council-our fathers-destroying the Midnight Society, and forming the Revenants.
I told her my plan of drawing out Elena Zhao, Calisto's right hand, and using her to get to my b.i.t.c.h sister. I explained how I needed Reiko's skills in order to transform the Triad into a legitimized corporation. I gave her all the details of how to syphon funds from Elena's business holdings and deliver it into a hidden, protected account.
I finished my pitch by giving the same spiel to Reiko as I did Cairo, about being selfish and abandoning her dad when he needed her the most. How in the end, all he wanted from her was to come home.
While I laid on a thick layer of guilt trip, I hoped to see tears, or angst, or some look of remorse on her face.
Nothing.
She was watching at me as if she were watching an uninspired infomercial on TV. Complete ambivalence.
I needed to play it a different angle.
The Reiko I knew, back at the Academy, took pride in being the best and being needed. Whenever there was a complex calculus problem or an a.s.signment that boggled our minds, we turned to her for the answers and she always took her time explaining it to us. I could always tell from the glimmer in her eye, that she was proud of herself giving us the answers when the rest of us were lost.
"I need you," I stated. "I'm going to rebuild the Midnight Society, and I need you on the council."
A look of amus.e.m.e.nt washed over her face, but she kept silent.
"You were always the smartest out of all of us. After all this is finished-after I've taken down Calisto-I'll need your help creating a new financial infrastructure for the Midnight Society as well as advising me on all important decisions. I can't imagine a Midnight Society without you Reiko."
She pursed her lips. Trying to read the expressions on her face was like shooting arrows while blindfolded. As far as my pitch was concerned, it was a wild Hail Mary pa.s.s.
"But first, we find Calisto and make her pay for the deaths of our fathers," I added, just in case the idea of revenge was more pleasing to the ear.
"Count me in," Cairo said, his voice filled with enthusiasm.
I looked at Cairo and shrugged. I actually didn't have much need for him anymore, now that he led me to Reiko.
"I'll call you if someone needs to be punched," I said.
"What?"
I sighed. How could I put this delicately? "Look, you're big, tough, mean and all, but running Midnight Society is all about intellectual finesse."
"Are you calling me stupid?"
"No," I replied. "I'm just saying that your skills are better served punching people in the face rather than working out numbers."
"Hey man, I have other skills too you know," he said.
"He does," Reiko chimed in. Those were the first words she said during this entire conversation.
I looked at Cairo and shrugged my shoulders. "Fine, whatever," I said. "You can have a seat at the council too, if it makes you happy."
He seemed satisfied by that and nodded his head with a grin.
I turned my attention back to Reiko. "So, are you with me?"
She yawned. "Let me sleep on it," Reiko said as she stood up from her seat and stretched. She turned to Cairo. "You coming?"
"I'm not sleeping on the couch tonight?" he asked, surprised.
"That spot is reserved for Shadow, unless your intent tonight is to snuggle up with him," she said as she began walking towards the bedroom, her hips swaying seductively.
Cairo shook his head. "Nah girl," he said, rising to his feet and following her close behind like a h.o.r.n.y puppy. "Did I tell you he sucker punched me?"
Once I heard the door to the bedroom close, I stood up and peeled off my jacket. I smelled rank and could do with a hot shower.
I helped myself to a towel in the linen closet and then entered into bathroom, closing the door behind me. I stripped down.
I examined myself in the mirror, staring at my cheek which was now puffy red. By tomorrow, it was going to turn into various shades of purple.
My arms were sore from trying to squeeze the air out of Cairo's ma.s.sive neck during the fight and I stretched them out, feeling the ache run along my triceps.
A hot shower was definitely what I needed.
The second the water hit my skin, I felt relieved as the knots in my tight muscles began to unravel themselves. I stood there for what felt like hours, letting the water wash over my entire body, through every ridge, melting away all the aches and pains.
After I was clean and satisfied, I went into the kitchen, opened up the fridge and grabbed myself a beer, just before plopping back down on the couch and unleas.h.i.+ng a long sigh.
What a night.
And that was when Reiko's moans of pleasure began.
The walls of Hong Kong condominiums must have been made out of paper, providing absolutely no sound barrier between the bedroom and the living room.
"Oh f.u.c.k, oh f.u.c.k, oh f.u.c.k!" her cries of delight reverberated through the condo. I downed the entire beer in one single swig, and laid the empty bottle on the coffee table. Meanwhile, the sounds of Cairo and Reiko, f.u.c.king their brains out, grew louder from the other room.
The heavy thuds, of what I a.s.sumed was a bedframe slamming against the wall, were loud and vicious. It wouldn't have surprised me if I saw the two of them cras.h.i.+ng through the drywall and spilling onto the living room floor, naked and still attached to each other.
I sighed, kicked off my shoes and spread myself out on the couch, hands behind my head. I closed my eyes while the sounds of s.e.x reverberated around me.
"Oh f.u.c.king Christ, I'm coming, I'm coming!" Reiko screamed.
"Yeah, come for me baby, come for me. Look me in the eyes when I'm talking to you and tell me what you are."
"I'm your dirty s.l.u.t."
"d.a.m.n straight girl. You're my dirty, s.l.u.tty angel."
This was d.a.m.n awkward.
While I listened to the two of them climax-screaming like s.e.xual banshees-my thoughts turned to Aria.
Beautiful Aria, who was perfect for me-or that was what Calisto made me believe.
