Bound To You

T R E Y

After a perfect night with Alyssa, I woke up with her in my arms. I couldn't help but stare. Her beautiful face all peaceful and sweet, her naked body laid next to mine covered only with a white sheet that the sun was shining on through the blinds causing her skin to glow and glisten. Then my phone goes off. I lean over and grab my phone off the bedside table and read the text.

Fucking VD.

'VD to everyone - Word on Miami Beach is Trey Lake finally scored with Miss Vista Falls, Alyssa Parkes, when moans and groans were heard coming from her dorm room late last night, did you wake up alone this morning, Lyss? LOL. Also Jen Ashley is to be making her debut back to school this week, where ya been hiding honey? And lastly, Nadine and Josh on the rocks? Well that didn't take long, who made a bet on how long they'd last? I know I did. Ciao bitches xo'

I f*****g hate this b***h. I'm still here and I ain't going anywhere, so suck on that VD, asshole.

"Everything okay?" Alyssa asked in her cute sleepy voice.

I threw my phone down on the floor and turned to face her pulling her closer into my arms.

"Yeah, just a daily text from VD."

"Oh god, what now?"

"Well, everyone now knows we had s*x last night."

"You're joking right?" She whined.

"Wish I was, babe."

"I hate that bitch."

"Same, so I was thinking, maybe we go out to eat today before I gotta go out with the boys?"

"Yeah sounds good, where you guys going?"

"Just out, y'know."

"Okay, don't tell me."

She sat up in bed wrapping the sheet around her torso.

"Ah, ah, I don't think so, gorgeous, get your ass back here." I smirked as I pulled her back down to me by the bed sheet.

"Trey." She giggled

"You think you can get away from me that fast, you're mistaken." I muffled into her neck before planting little kisses down her jaw and neck.

"I thought you wanted to go for food?" She exclaimed through a laugh.

"Maybe I wanna eat you. Gotta problem with that?"

"Nah ah." She hummed.

So I ate her. Sucked her bud, licked her juice then f****d the life outta her leaving her a hot, sweaty mess beneath me.

"Are you really not gonna tell me where you guys are going tonight?" She asked as she put her earrings in.

"Baby, I told you, we're just hanging out, having a few drinks, ya know, guy time."

"Guy time?" She smirked at me with a raised brow.

"Yes, I know, I heard it as soon as I said, now get ready so we can eat." I rolled my eyes causing her to laugh.

Once she was finally ready we took a walk down to the beach front and stopped off at a little food hut called La Sandwicherie, where they do the best sandwiches in the whole of Miami, and also Alyssa's favourite place to eat.

"You brought me to La Sandwicherie?" She exclaimed so excited. f**k, she was cute as hell.

"Come on, beautiful." I chuckled taking her to the counter by the hand.

We ordered our food and took a seat outside, it was a beautiful, warm sunny day after all and I wanted everyone who walked past to see me with this gorgeous specimen of a woman.

"Why you looking at me like that?" She said taking a sip through her straw.

"What? I can't look at my girl?"

"Oh your girl now, huh?"

"Yeah, you think I'm gonna let you continue to walk around without my label on your ass?"

"Well, thank you for asking, I appreciate it."

"You're welcome, sweetness. So do you want the whole shabang?"

"Shabang? Boy, you're a crazy ass mouth mess today."

"It's the things you do to me, sugar plum." I sarcastically said with a wink.

"Well in that case I want the whole 'shabang'." She winked back with a mocking manner.

"You got it, baby girl."

We ate our food and took a slow walk down the beach, hand in hand, before I knew it it was time to go out with the boys, do this job and get out so I can concentrate on Alyssa.

I met Josh, Jack, and Theo at mine and Jack's dorm room, my nerves were in full force and my adrenaline was high, I knew this was my last job and I would be free, I trusted Theo in his words when he said he would talk to Leon about letting me go, he and Leon had an understanding that none of us lot had with him, he was a hard guy to read but Theo seemed to be able to read him like the latest version of Sports Illustrated.

"You ready?" Theo asked us as he tucked his phone into his back pocket.

I nod in response while the others spoke up in unison.

"Good, remember this is the biggest job we've had yet, we need it to go as smooth as possible, stick to the plan and we will be in and out within the hour. Understand?"

"Yeah, I understand and all that s**t, bro, but are we really gonna ignore the fact that your boy, Trey here, f****d your sister last night?" Josh asked in a more serious tone, but the kid was so moronic you honestly couldn't take him seriously.

"Josh? Why don't you shut the f**k up and do what you're here to do." Theo snapped back at him with a more angered but yet cold tone.

"Sorry, I'm just saying. So, Trey. How was she?"

"Josh, don't make me slap you upside your head."

"We used to be close, man, shared everything." He pouted.

"You're so stupid." I replied getting into the passenger seat of the car.

"You're so stupid." He mimicked me like a child.

Theo started up the engine with a roar from the exhaust and we set off to meet Leon at a discreet, underground bar where he and all his gang would hang out, it was too sketchy for his own good but it was one of the safest places you could go if you wanted off the street, it was build and armoured up like fort knox. It only took us half an hour before we arrived, turning off at a side street and pulling up round the back of the bar so the car wouldn't be seen by the main street, all of us hopped out and headed into the bar giving the big, tatted, 'bouncer' a nod on the way in.

"Trey, you come with me. Jack and Josh, take a seat, get a drink, a lap dance, I don't care, but don't interrupt us" Theo ordered before leading me through a huge, black, metal door and into a room that was decorated like Pablo Escobar drug den.

This guy was no joke, I knew this, I knew this since day one, he was someone to be feared but as long as you was on the right side of him you'd be taken care of, he needed us as much as we needed him.

I walked into the room where the lights were dimly lit, a large, dark wooden desk with a red velvet chair behind it. Gold features placed around the room. Leon was sat on his throne behind the desk like the King Don he came across to be, while his men were scattered around the room, eyes burning through us, guns in hands, on hips, tucked in belts, some doing drugs, some drinking whiskey, and some sat there like their life depended on nothing else.

"Ahh, my little creadores de dinero." (money makers.) He greeted us with a menacing smile as he rubbed his hands together, sitting back in his chair with his feet resting on top of his desk. "I like you guys, you're always on time, and time is money in my world."

"Leon." Theo greeted him with a short nod of his head.

"Theo, my money man." He said through an intimidating laugh. "So you muchachos know the plan? I gave you enough time to learn the deal." (boys)

"Yeah, we're good. You got the fire?" Theo shrugged.

Leon laughed like Theo told a joke. "Fire? My man, there guns, heat, burners, blicky's, the list goes on. Fire, round here will you shot in between your eyes."

"Do you have them?" Theo wasn't phased by Leon's response. He wasn't exactly easily shaken.

Leon looked over his shoulder to his right giving the guy behind him the side eye and a nod, the man without hesitation dropped to the floor, lifting the red, patterned rug up and lifted up the floor revealing a hide away with another fire power to take out a small town. He reached in pulling out a black, thick, zip lock bag containing what I assume to be 4 glocks for us to use and discard of at the end of the job. He handed the bag to Leon who opened the bag, looked inside, wiped the bag then handed it to Theo with a tissue between his hand and the bag ensuring he didn't leave his fingerprints behind.

"Off you go, make Leon some money." He smirked as he referred to himself in third person. "And, Theo. Don't forget about that thing I asked you for." His smirk grew stronger and more devilish.

Theo just rolled his eye and nudged me to walk on.

"Josh, Jack." Theo called nodding to the door for them to leave the two girls who were grinding on them like they were in a strip club.

"You couldn't of given me two minutes? I had that girl like soft putty in my hands." Josh protested jumping into the back seat of the car.

"She's paid to be putty in your hands, moron." Theo snapped back.

He was obviously in no mood to deal with Josh's feeblemindedness tonight.

Theo took the guns out the bag, set the bag on fire and dropped in the road before handing us all one each and taking off in the same direction we came in.

"These make us look so bad ass." Josh said in awe as he examined the gun.

"A bald head and tatts from your head to your balls couldn't make you look bad ass, wet wipe." Jack mocked him with a throaty laugh.

I ignored the two imbeciles in the back seat and looked at Theo. I could tell he was stewing but about what I don't know, maybe Leon?

"What is it?" I asked him.

"What?" He snapped.

"You know what."

"We'll talk about it later, Trey. Not now."

"We will talk about it, Theo."

I left it at that because I knew our minds needed to be completely on the job at hand and not elsewhere right now, although I did find my thoughts wandering back to Alyssa, and everything about her, the way I couldn't wait to have her back in my arms, her lips on mine, her body against me, I needed to think about something else before I get hard and then get the piss taken out of me by these dumbasses.

We pulled up in an underground parking lot, hopped out of our car, straight into another that Leon had arranged for us to do the job in then took off with a wheel spin, flicking the dirt and dust up in the air.

"Masks up, guns out, whatever you do, do not shoot unless you f*****g have to." Theo ordered us before we pulled up at the Miami Gala Ball for a doctors charity event where the events host is a damn right prick who takes the donations and embezzles them.

Our job was to stop that happening.

We leapt out the car that was parked around the back of the hall building and snuck in through the back door that one of Leon's inside men left open for us.
