Chapter 28: CREED

If I didn't know better I'd think he was calling me a punk but I let that shit slide because my mind was on the pussy. I could deal with his insubordinate ass later. But this shit was a fucking no-no.

My tone didn't alert her but my boys got restless. Their old women were old hands at this shit and were off doing their thing. They'd wanted to take her exploring with them but no.

When she was standing in front of me looking up at me with her stubborn little ass I took my time and tried to remember that she was enjoying her first taste of freedom.
