I was messing with fire. He reeked of danger. He was so far out of my league, yet it was me he watched, so why not give him a show. I was safe in this cage. He could not get to me. My eyes closed as pleasure shot down my spine. I can't explain what it was like teasing a hungry beast, especially knowing that he couldn't touch me. It was like being watched by a lion behind the glass at the zoo. His consuming, hungry gaze washed over my body, leaving a flaming path in its wake. I moaned as a shiver went through my core.Needing... I didn't know what I needed. But I needed it so bad it hurt. He leaned over and said something to the man that sat next to him that was dressed in a white linen suit. The man's gaze fell on me, before he nodded and stood coming my way.

Journey-- In my world, the Gansta's on the street are feared. I had no way of knowing that once I accepted a Botany Scholarship at Georgetown University I was going to be unwittingly thrown into the savage biosphere of politics. I've come to learn that here in D.C., the politicians are the real gangsta's, and that they are far deadlier than anything we common folk could ever imagine. However, I would soon find out just how dangerous the political milieu can be. It is a place of glamour, lies, and power. Trust the wrong person, and you can end up dead.I gave into the Senator's son one night, allowing him to take what I had never gifted to another. It was the single most amazing thing I would ever experience.But that one night of unbridled passion would send my life spiraling into uncharted territory. The fruit of which I carried in my womb while fleeing to protect my unborn child... JOSEPHI knew she was too innocent to be pulled into my world. A world that was more treacherous than a pit of vipers. However, I could no sooner quiet my hunger for her, then I could the roar of an oncoming tornado.She gave me my taste, and I found my new addiction. But then she fled from me and became my new obsession.Now, nothing will stop me from, Coming for What's Mine...

I screamed as I tried to run past him, but his big warm hand palmed my belly before he slammed me back against the wall. It wasn't hard enough to hurt, but it was hard enough to get my attention, not to mention the fact that he was crowding my space in a very threatening way.He was so strong, his hand still flat against my stomach was holding me against the wall while his other arm rested on the wall just above my head. He leaned in close, trapping me with his big stout body.Tears filled my eyes when his raged filled face got close to mine. I wanted to scream for help, but I was so terrified the only thing I could do was stand there shivering."Where yo' f***ing brother?" He growled.And...Oh, my goodness!The force of his words had my knees knocking, if his hand was not there on my stomach holding me in place, I would have slid to the ground."I-I don't know," I cried. "Please don't hurt me!""He's not here, boss," someone said behind us."It's cool, go downstairs and wait for me."Although I couldn't see anything past Hitta's big body, I heard the other men as they filed out, leaving me alone with this...this...Force of nature!"Please don't hurt me..." I repeated through trembling lips as his gaze raked over my face. He moved back a few inches so that he could look down my body and I saw somethingchange in his eyes.I bit my lip wanting to cry out again when I realized I was standing there in nothing but my black thigh-high stockings, black panties, and my black halter sweater...his big warm palm was still pressed against my naked stomach."Damn..." I heard him whisper as he took in my body."What do you want?!" I yelled, not able to take it anymore.His heated gaze came back up to mine. "Yo' crackhead a** brotha stole money from me yesterday."I closed my eyes...No, Westly! No!Oh God! No!Out of all the people in the world to steal from.Please, God, ...don't let this be true!When I opened my eyes again, he was biting his lip looking at me with that hungry gaze of his. I've never had a man look at me like that before. His gaze took its time taking in my body as his thumb rubbed against my soft stomach."Please tell me that wasn't your money?" I whined."Where the f***is it?"My shoulders slumped. I give up... this was just too much."I-I spent it."I don't know why I told him the truth. Maybe because I didn't want him to kill my brother and I knew he wouldn't kill me. As if to confirm my words, a deadly grin slowly spread across his face."You spent my money, Teacup?"Although it was the last thing in the world that I wanted to do...I nodded. The look that came into his hard gaze as it once again took its time raking over my barely clad body was that of a conqueror. When his eyes settled on my trembling lips, there seemed to be some kind of hidden pull between us, his head came closer to mine and it looked for a moment as if he was going to kiss me.I held my breath, terrified, yet...and I really hate to admit this...excited."Well now..." he muttered, his lips only inches from mine. "It looks like you... belong to me."
