Why in the hell hasn’t he just killed her already?!
He still hadn’t forgotten what Honey told him. What in the hell did she owe him? Then there was the other problem. Archer had killed Tone, his friend, right in front of him, then, to add insult to injury, he’d made him clean up the blood and guts and dispose of the body. Billy wrestled with that truth. Archer was a cruel, heartless person, like himself, but even for him, that was a new low. Tone had been his guy… his pal. But Archer had chosen the photojournalist, a stranger who’d had the audacity to show up on his property and take photos, over a loyal man he’d known for years. All because he’d wanted some head. The bitch should’ve been happy to suck him off. Archer had this thing about non-consensual sexual shit being done to women. He would lose his shit over it. He’d never figured out exactly why, but based on some things Archer had said in the past, he suspected it had something to do with his sister, Irish.
Billy heard the clicking sound of a lighter, and then the pouring of fluid. Like wine or liquor.
“Okay, I’m back. So… yeah… not gonna make it tonight.”
“Even if you just pop your head in, man, that would be good. We’ve all been so busy this month, with all the shit goin’ on, ya know?”
“Yeah, I know, and that’s why I need to unwind. I’m beat, man. I just finished working out, too. I was on a call with two distributors outta Michigan, and George raised his prices, so I had to go back and forth with him. It was brutal. I had to buy some more guns for the guys, so that was a whole five hours I’ll never get back. I lost one of the bars in Tennessee, as you know, and they were big spenders, but they’re closing their doors, so what can we do? Thankfully, I’m in talks with a spot in Kentucky. Their taxes went up and the guy said they’ll fold if they don’t get some relief. Tryna work that deal still. I caught up on some work yesterday, so that helped, but I had to write a big check for Jefferson.” Jefferson was his lawyer that he kept on retainer. “I’m plannin’ to go in the morning to see Irish. That’s going to be annoying as hell. Too much going on, Billy. I know your parties are a blast. Sorry I can’t come. I’ll make it to the next one though. Tell the guys I’ll see ’em on Tuesday.”
“Tuesday, huh?” And not one mention of Honey. Ran off everything under the sun except THAT bitch. She’s treacherous. Why can’t you see that, Archer? You’re neglecting your duties. You’re distracted by pussy. You can have all the pussy in the whole fuckin’ world, pretty boy! You’re rich! You’re a free agent! You embarrassed me in front of the crew at the warehouse because of your little temper tantrum. I didn’t like that. I didn’t like that at all. We always hash out our disagreements behind closed doors… you broke the code, Archer. You killed Tone! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT SHIT?! I hate you now, Archer… I. FUCKING. HATE. YOU.
He wanted to say all of that to him. He wanted to shout it from the highest rooftop. In his gut, he knew the truth. Archer had a thing for Honey, even if he himself didn’t know it yet. He’d noticed how the motherfucker looked at her when they’d returned from her gig. Something glimmered in his eyes that Billy didn’t like. It was the way a man looks at a woman when he’s feeling shit for her… There’s no way he’s going to kill this broad now. He’s definitely up to something. I should have blown her face off when I had the chance.
“All right, man. Take it easy. I’ll see ya, Archer.”
“Yeah, have a blast for me tonight.” And then, Archer ended the call.
Billy leaned forward, stretching and trying to tame himself. He snatched an unlit cigar out of a black velvet lined box, lit it, then motioned for a dark-haired beauty to come over. She came to him, clad in a red and white polka dot bikini. Reaching for his belt, he slipped it from the loops with one hand, then tugged on his zipper. She fell on her knees at his feet and enveloped his hard cock in her soft, warm mouth. For the next ten minutes, he’d try to forget about treasonous Archer…
…Several days later
She couldn’t believe her eyes. Honey wrapped the pink towel around her body a bit tighter. Her wet hair caught the chill in the air, making her shiver as she regarded a long, simple yet elegant black dress splayed across the bed. He must’ve come in while I was showering…
