Chapter 9
Lotto
A piece of Jace’s battered eye ripped from the picture and fell to the floor.
With a few more of Bones’ strong punches, his entire face caved in until the dick’s picture was unrecognizable.
Bones stepped back and wiped a bead of sweat from his brow. His ripped body gleamed with sweat from the hour-long workout. Frankie was the warden of Smiley’s, but Ari was the perfect understudy. Every time Bones dared to make a mistake, she barked at him to do it right. Once or twice, she even slapped his ass and threatened to kick it next if he kept fucking up. This was a worthless threat, because Bones would enjoy that a little too much.
I handed him a bottle of water, and he drank the entire thing in two gulps. Ari threw a towel at him, and Bones took a seat in the only plastic chair that had survived the Treepocalypse. While he wiped himself down, I glanced at the broken, ripped picture of Jace Perk still half-hanging off the bag. It was what the asshole deserved. I had half a mind to grab gloves myself and let out some steam despite my last fight having been schoolyard shit during college.
Bones crumpled up the empty plastic bottle and threw it to the side. “I feel like I went too easy on him.”
Ari tilted her head. “Who?”
“Jace.” He gestured his chin toward the punching bag. “I should have slugged his chin like River.”
“He’s missing half an eye.” Ari laughed and threw her silver hair over her shoulder. “Wish he was in real life. I’d make him look like less of an asshole.”
“Or more of an asshole.” I sighed and pulled out my phone.
Perk’s Gym had already posted another picture of River in the ring, though this was clearly an old picture. His hair was down around his tan shoulders, and he had a cut above his upper lip that hadn’t been there today. Maybe Jace was pissed off about the punch. It was what he got for running his mouth. If anything, River had taken it easy on the bastard. If Bones or Frankie got to him first, he’d be missing more than a paper eye.
I read over the caption, but it was more of the same bullshit. Number #1 gym in Seattle. Can’t wait to prove it. He’s named River because he beats his opponents black and blue. It was all talk for a gym whose owner had nearly been laid out by a simple right hook.
“Anything new?” Ari peeked to see the screen.
“More of the same.” I slipped my phone into my back pocket. “They’re just trying to mess with us. Get under our skin.”
“It’s working.” Bones frowned. “Those threats will only continue unless we do something.”
“Misty mentioned Troy.” Ari chewed on her bottom lip. “You don’t think he’s funding them, do you?”
“No,” I answered immediately.
Troy was a good businessman. He wouldn’t double dip by offering us a shit ton of money while funding the Perk siblings at the same time. Not unless he had a reason for it. I didn’t want to mention my suspicions to his true motives. Ari would worry, Frankie would get all pissed off, and Bones would agree without thinking about the ramifications. But Troy was setting something up with us and Perk’s Gym. They wouldn’t be up our asses if not. I simply couldn’t figure out what because it had been radio silence since Frankie and Ari’s meeting. My best guess was a River and Bones headliner at Heathens Hollow that would make the money he gave us look like pocket change.
If Bones wasn’t at his best, we’d be seeing a lot more of Troy Godwin.
And I’d already seen enough of him to last a lifetime.
“Jace just thinks he’s better,” I concluded.
“Then let’s prove he’s not.” Bones leaned back in the plastic chair. “Set up a fight with Jace at tomorrow night’s fight. I’ll knock his ass out.”
“That’s probably what they’re gunning for.” Ari hummed and chewed on her thumbnail. “Either that or you versus River.”
“Then let me fight River. I can take him.”
“Not on the tail end of four fights this week.” I glared at Bones and leaned back against the only intact wall around. “You need to be at your peak if you’re going to fight River, or he’d wipe the floor with you.”
“Probably more than that.” Bones tossed his damp towel to the side. His abs rippled when he huffed. “I know we need the money but?—”
“The money isn’t important,” Ari insisted.
“Yes, it is.”
“Okay, you got me, but it’s not as important as your health.” Her voice dropped to a soft murmur. “You already do so much for us, Bones. I don’t want you bleeding yourself dry.”
“You’re taking the weekend off.” When Bones started to protest, I held a hand up. “I’m not finding you any fights after tomorrow for at least three days. During which time, you’re going to go to Gordito’s, order the baby burrito, and fall into a food coma for at least twelve hours.”
“You’re trying to fatten me up and make sure I can’t take River on, aren’t you?” Bones chuckled. “Hard to land a punch with seven pounds of refried beans in my gut.”
“You deserve a break. And after all of this, bottomless margaritas sound amazing.” Ari set a hand on Bones’ shoulder. “We don’t have anything to prove. We already proved we’re the best at Heathens Hollow.” She looked back at me with a blinding smile. “Isn’t that right, Lotto?”
I pushed off the wall and approached the two of them. “You’re still the man to beat, Bones. It comes with a target on your back.” I stopped next to Ari and cupped her chin. “You, too, angel. Misty doesn’t seem to be your biggest fan.”
“She can try whatever.” Ari’s eyes roamed from mine to my lips and back up again. Her mouth fell open when I squeezed her chin and moved my hand a little bit further down. “I know you guys will have my back.”
“Always.” Bones’ tone held a little fire and a lot of weight. Clearly, he’d felt something in the air shift. He leaned forward to run a hand down Ari’s side that stopped short of her ass. “Whenever you need us.”
“I do need you,” she agreed breathlessly.
She kept her eyes locked with mine but moved her hand down to Bones’ wrist. Ari guided him to her ass, and the slap Bones gave rang out in the air. Her gasp was as quiet as her needy whimper. I almost laughed when she wiggled her hips back so Bones could slap her ass again.
Ari grabbed my hand and moved it up, popping two of my fingers into her mouth. She sucked them like she was sucking my cock, twirling and licking, her eyes holding my narrowed gaze. My dick twitched in my jeans, and when I pressed down on her tongue, she moaned and opened her mouth wider, mumbling something garbled around my firm fingers.
“What was that, angel?” I asked innocently. “Cat got your tongue?”
“A fox, maybe.” Bones cupped his hand around her ass and pressed his fingers against her covered cunt. Ari moaned and ground back her hips, saliva dripping down her chin the longer she couldn’t swallow.
“I prefer lions, actually. With all of us serving our lioness.” I pulled my fingers from Ari’s mouth so she could talk. “Tell us what you need, angel.”
“Both of you.” She groaned and ran a hand down the front of my T-shirt. I had to suppress a shiver when her nails dragged against my abs. Her cheeks were already flushed with want, her eyes dark with lust.
“That’s not good enough.” I forced my fingers back into her mouth and tugged at the front of her yoga pants. I was able to wiggle them down enough so that Bones could cup her bare pussy from the back. Her groan vibrated against my hand, and I smirked. “I need you to be more specific. What do you need?”
Bones dipped two fingertips into Ari’s cunt and smirked. “Wet as fuck. I think she likes it.”
“And I need to hear her say it,” I demanded. “Step by step, angel, or I’ll make sure you don’t come at all.”
Ari’s strangled moan clearly told me how much she didn’t want that. She rocked her hips into Bones’ fingertips and bit down on my fingers, eyes flashing with her lust. I pulled out just enough so she could speak, pulling her bottom lip down.
“Undress me,” she begged.
I nodded to Bones, who grabbed her bottoms and tugged them off while I dragged off her shirt and threw it over her head. As I pulled off her sports bra, I made sure to tease her tits, squeezing and flicking her nipples. When they hardened, I pulled away and kept my hands by my sides. Ari groaned in frustration.
“You’re not going to touch me?”
I shook my head. “You didn’t tell me to. So what next, angel?”
“Get naked,” she demanded, looking back at Bones. “Both of you. Then fuck me until I can’t think. How about that?”
“I can get behind that.” Bones immediately stripped off his shorts so that his hard cock sprang free, curving by his abs with a little bead of precum already on the tip. My mouth watered at the sight. Bones grabbed his dick and stroked twice, his fingers shining with Ari’s wetness. “Come take a seat.”
“Not yet.” I turned Ari around so she faced Bones and pulled her flush against my body. She moaned, grinding back on my hard cock through my jeans. “We’re going to have to get her ready for us first.” I leaned down and grazed my lips along the shell of her ear and smirked at her quiet gasp. “Both of us. Do you want us to fill both your holes, Ari?”
“Fuck yes,” she whined, eyes locked on Bones stroking his cock.
“Where do you want me? Here?” I cupped her cunt with my hand and pulled her pussy lips apart. When I dragged my middle finger over her clit, her body jumped back against me. Bones licked his lips and watched as I circled the bud with my fingertip. “Do you want me to fuck your pussy? Or…” I slid my hand back a little further, spreading the cheeks of her ass and pressing my wet fingertip against her hole. “Do you want me to fuck your ass instead? Tell me.”
Ari ground her hips back against me and swallowed. “I— Both?”
“Both?” I laughed at her cheeky answer. “A little greedy, angel. What do you think, Bones?” With a strong tug, I spread Ari’s thighs so Bones could get a good look at how sexy she was, begging for our cocks. “Should I give her both?”
“Whatever gets that pretty mouth on my cock,” he growled. “Come here.”
I shifted us forward so Ari could bend down and obey. She took Bones’ cock so easily, lips stretching around his size. I drank in her bent over body, ghosting my hands over her ass and giving it a hard slap. She was practically dripping for us. I couldn’t wait to sink into her and feel her tightness for myself.
Ari bobbed on Bones’ cock like she couldn’t get enough while I undressed slowly, eyes on Bones’ rippling abs. My cock throbbed at his gruff groan and the clench in his teeth. I easily sank two fingers into Ari’s dripping cunt. Already so wet for us and we hadn’t even truly played with her yet.
“Don’t let him come,” I ordered Ari. “Tease him until he’s begging to fuck you.”
“That’s mean, Lotto,” Bones said, his fingers disappearing into her hair. “Her mouth feels too good.”
“So does her pussy.” I scissored my fingers and smirked. “So you better hold yourself back or I won’t let you fuck her.”
Ari whimpered around Bones’ cock as she moved faster. It sounded something like “unfair.” I chuckled and moved my fingers faster, leaning down to whisper into her back.
“You better not come either, angel.” I dragged my tongue along her spine as I fucked her faster. “I want to feel it around my cock.”
She nodded and swirled her tongue around Bones’ cock. Ari moved in time with the thrusts of my fingers. I kept my pace slow and deliberate, only flicking her clit occasionally. There was nothing better than seeing Ari and Bones so desperate. Bones bucked his hips into her mouth. Ari ground back against each thrust of my fingers with a needy whine. I wanted to drag this out as much as I could, but if my cock throbbed any harder, I’d finish all over Ari’s back before I could even get to the main course.
I pulled back fingers from Ari, and she popped off Bones with a gasp that turned into a loud moan when I sank into her. I weaved my fingers into her hair, wrapping them around Bones’ to keep us both in control.
“Kiss her.” I accentuated my demand with a snap of my hips.
Bones’ insistent kiss swallowed Ari’s squeal, and I kept her head up as Bones ravaged her mouth in a messy twist of tongues. Her walls squeezed my cock when Bones bit down on her bottom lip, and I rewarded her with a tug of her hair. She felt so good around me that I nearly lost myself in her cunt; it didn’t help that Ari and Bones looked so sexy making out at my command. I could have come merely from the sight, but I needed to give Ari what she wanted.
I yanked myself from her pussy. My cock was covered in her juices that dripped down my shaft. I pulled apart her legs, circling the wet tip of my cock on her asshole. Ari withdrew from the kiss enough to look back at me. With one hand, she steadied herself on Bones’ thigh; with the other, she spread her cheeks for me with a lust-filled grin. God, I loved that fucking tease.
Bones’ eyes popped open, and they both stared at me as I sank into Ari’s ass. I bit my lip. She was even tighter, squeezing me like a damn vice. I gave short little choppy thrusts until I was fully sheathed inside. I gripped her ass as I rocked into her. When I met Bones’ gaze, I could tell he was nearly salivating to join me.
“Drag your chair forward,” I ordered between labored breaths.
The chair scraped against the ground as Bones hurried to listen. I grabbed Ari’s hips to help her straddle Bones on the armless chair without pulling out. Bones grabbed his cock, lining it up with her dripping entrance. Ari moaned each time the tip of his dick brushed against her sensitive folds.
I grinned at Bones and moved her hips down so her folds swallowed the tip of his cock. “Time to prove how much we love her.”
My words snapped the last of Bones’ resolve. He set his hands over mine, slamming Ari down on his cock so hard she let out a small scream of pleasure. It took a little maneuvering but soon our rhythms matched up. We pounded into both of Ari’s holes unless she was moaning and begging us for more. I grabbed onto her chin and forced her back into a sloppy kiss, my other hand tight on her hips and helping her move. Bones’ grip on mine was nearly painful; he moved Ari with so much force she practically became putty beneath our hands.
Bones reached down to touch her clit, and Ari pulled from our kiss and threw her head back against my shoulder with a whine. Her walls squeezed me so tightly, I thought I saw stars; Bones hissed and leaned back, giving me a perfect view of his sweaty abs and hard nipples.
“I’m gonna come,” he said quietly, the warning nearly lost in his grunts and pants.
“Do it,” Ari begged. Her eyes snapped open and found mine, her entire expression pleading with me. “Let him, Lotto. Please. Fuck, please .”
My chest was as tight as my balls. I could only answer with a grunt and another bruising kiss to Ari’s swollen lips. It only took a few more thrusts until Bones moaned, eyes rolling back and body shuddering. I could feel his dick pulsing as he came. Ari slammed down, trying to chase her high. I set my hand over Bones’ fingers, forcing him to keep rubbing her clit.
Her orgasm slammed into her so hard, she cried out and fell forward onto Bones’ chest, nearly pulling my cock from her. I fucked her through it, gripping her hips so hard she’d definitely be bruised later. With a few more deep thrusts, I spilled into her ass with a heavy moan, my entire body flushed with warmth and satisfaction.
For a few moments, Smiley’s was only filled with the sound of our heaving breaths. Then Ari laughed, her body trembling as she pushed off of Bones’ chest.
“I’d say you proved your love very well,” she joked, pressing a soft kiss to Bones’ lips before turning her head toward me. I leaned down to press a similar gentle kiss to her lips.
“Then let me seal the deal,” Bones said and sat up in the chair.
His lips joined ours in a soft promise of our loyalty. Ari opened her mouth and swiped her tongue against us; Bones and I opened for her willingly, and our tongues met in a slow, sensual dance. Our softened cocks slipped from her and cum slid down her wet thighs, but we were too lost in our shared kiss to care. Bones squeezed at my sides and abs, Ari swiped her hand down Bones’ back, and I squeezed at her chest as our kiss dragged on. I couldn’t get enough of the both of them, my body still alight and ready for round two.
Too bad my phone rang off in the distance.
With a groan, I pulled back reluctantly. I’d much rather sink into assholes than deal with them, but Smiley’s wasn’t going to fix itself.
“We should probably clean up anyway,” Ari said. The small smile on her face turned into a sly grin. “Too bad there’s only one shower. What’s a girl to do, huh?”
“Learn how to share. Isn’t that right, Lotto?”
I wanted to agree, but my phone rang again. Clearly, someone needed me. It had better be Frankie, because if it was anyone else, I’d take them down myself.
“Raincheck,” I said and fixed my hair. “Time to get back to work.”
Ari pouted but raked her sweaty, messy hair back to give herself an air of professionalism. I smirked. It was hard to look professional with blooming bruises on her hips, swollen lips, and our cum dripping all down her folds and thighs.
“We should all get back to work. No more distractions.” She gave us both a playful glare. “Especially the sexy kinds.”
“But those are the best ones.” Bones stood from the chair.
“I don’t see you complaining, angel.”
“You know I’ll never say no to my boys.” With a flirtatious smile, she waved her fingers at us. “I’ll shower first!” Ari called over her shoulders, her hips swaying a little more than normal to try to entice us.
I drew a deep breath to keep from chasing after her. We’d had our pleasure. Now it was time for business.
“Are you still feeling okay for the fight tomorrow?” I asked Bones.
He nodded and stretched his neck. “I’ll do another round on the bag and call it a day.”
“Take Jace’s other eye out while you’re at it.” I grabbed my clothes from the floor and swung them over my shoulder. “And I mean it, Bones. Tomorrow is our last fight for a while.”
“Yeah, yeah,” he said. “I promise.” He tugged on his boxing shorts and flashed me that sexy grin I loved so much. “So let’s go out with a bang.”
