Chapter 37: The Gods Of Nasty

▪ D O M I N I C▪

Tonight, was the night of Jade's twenty-first birthday party.

When she had turned thirteen, we had started the tradition of throwing her a party that began the night before and went on to celebrate her birthday as soon as the clock struck 12am. As per her request, we had started throwing her parties at clubs five years ago.

Unfortunately, things had not gone as well as planned for her nineteenth birthday. Last year, however, her party went off without a hitch and Jade had enjoyed herself immensely, which I was grateful for. I hated seeing her sad. If there was one day out of the entire year on which she should be happy, it should be her birthday. I believed that the day that a person was born was one of the most important days ever, and them being alive should be celebrated.

This year though, since she was turning twenty-one, I had decided to organise an even more lavish celebration. I had recently opened a new club, one of the biggest the city had ever seen. It was five stories tall, with elegant balconies that looked down onto the first floor which had the largest dance-floor in the entire building.

The subsequent levels had their own smaller dancing areas, as well as their own bars and on the third and fourth floors, there were also a few privacy booths.

The fourth floor featured a detached, slightly elevated area that was called the purple room. It was separated by impenetrable glass walls that used thick dark curtains to conceal whatever was going on within.

Then there was the hidden fifth floor, which encompassed an office area that was concealed behind tinted glass and that oversaw everything.

I had kept the entire third and fourth floor reserved for Jade's birthday party tonight.

At the moment, I was currently sitting in my office downstairs, waiting until Jade got dressed. Using my body, I idly swung my chair about while looking out the window. As I patiently waited on the birthday girl, my mobile phone rang.

Looking down at the number, I wondered what Commissioner Thomas Edgehill was calling me for tonight.

"Yes?" I brusquely answered the phone.

"Sorry to bother you, Mr. Calvetti, but there's been two more deaths in regards to the Cartel's cocaine," Thomas said, his tone slightly shaky.

Letting out an exasperated sigh, I replied, "I've dealt with the source of the problem, but I'm afraid that whatever was already bought and distributed is still lingering out in the streets. I can only hope that there won't be any more bodies in the coming weeks while the last of it runs out."

"I hope so, there's been too many deaths where their drugs are concerned. I just thought I would keep you posted and confirm if you managed to deliver what you said you would," the Commissioner's voice already sounding more relaxed, knowing that the problem had been dealt with.

"Heh!" I chuckled, "When have I not delivered?"

"Forgive me for having doubts, it's just that the Sonora Cartel are known to be ruthless, so I've set up a special task force to keep an extra special eye on the borders as well as the coast," Thomas informed me.

Getting up, I walked to the window, switching the phone to the other ear, "Don't worry, Commissioner, everything is fine. If García tries to bring his drugs back, I will be ready and waiting. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a party to attend. Will I be seeing you there later?"

"I wouldn't miss it, Mr. Calvetti. There will be some undercover policemen in the building for extra protection as well, just as you ordered," he confirmed.

"Very good..." I said before hanging up.

Taking a deep breath, I checked the time on my watch. Running a hand through my silvery white hair, I then checked the magazines of my guns before holstering them. Grabbing my dark purple jacket, I began to make my way towards the eastern gate of the residence.

"Ready for tonight? You're looking rather spirited," Vincent noted, as he approached me in the foyer.

"Mmmnnn," I grumbled an unintelligible reply, before quickly updating him on my call with the Commissioner. I then went on to ask, "Did Tolstoy put the remaining Mexican girls to work?"

While I may have disposed of the Mexican women who had engaged in distributing the Cartel's cocaine, I had spared the lives of those who had obeyed me. As upon coming to work in Aelbank City, I had specifically expressed to them what would happen should they try to go behind my back

and deal drugs for their boss.

Though they may have belonged to the Sonora Cartel, since they were coming to work in my city they were supposed to adhere to all rules.

Therefore, the remaining Mexican women were given a choice to either return to Mexico or stay and work for Tolstoy, where they were to be treated fairly like all the other call girls.

In the end, the women chose to stay, knowing fully well that only death awaited them if they had chosen to return to José. They had a chance at a new life, one where they would have control over what happened to them.

With a slight nod of his head, Vincent replied, "Yes, he was only too happy to redistribute them among the various brothels."

"Of course, he was..." tilting my head to the side, I suddenly commented,

"Wait, is that a tie you're wearing?"

The corner of Vincent's mouth twitched slightly as he replied, "Well it's her birthday, so I thought I'd dress up for the occasion."

"Let me get this straight. You won't wear a tie when I command it, but when she asks, you do?" I shook my head in slight disbelief.

"What can I say boss, what Jade wants, Jade gets," Vincent said, trying to hold back a smirk.

Frowning slightly as I put on my jacket, "Sometimes I wonder who's the mafia boss around here."

"I won't answer that..." Vincent's words trailed off as he fixed his tie,

"Anyway boss, I'm heading down to the club with Jee-min, Quintin, and a few of the others. See you soon," he said before walking off.

"The Gods of nasty are definitely grinning tonight..." I muttered under my breath as I headed towards my car.

Was I nervous for later? A little, after all, I wanted to make this birthday the best Jade had ever had. Especially where the issue of our oncoming intimacy was concerned, I would be lying if I said that I was not a bit on edge.

Event though Jade and I had fooled around occasionally these last few months, I had never once intimately touched her. Sure, we made out a lot and fondled each other. But I have never allowed myself to touch her

without her clothes, and vice versa.

I had tortured myself for months, wondering what her bare skin would feel and taste like.

A harsh breath escaped me as I exited the manor, made my way into the courtyard, and leaned against my car to wait on her.

Tilting my head towards the night sky, I allowed myself to indulge in a few more illicit thoughts. Though I did not know what it felt like to suck her nipples or to tease her bare clit between my teeth, I had imagined what it would be like a million times in my head.

I had held myself back these last few months, knowing that once I had gotten a taste of her, that would be it for me. I spent many nights staring into the nothingness as my mind played over the various scenarios of how things would play out.

There were so many times when I questioned if this was the right decision for both of us.

Given the chemistry between us, combined with our volatile personalities, there was the possibility that we would just end up killing each other.

At the thought, I chuckled softly, picturing Jade holding a knife to my throat during one of her little rants, teasing me as her blade gently pricked my skin. I could not wait to mark her in my own way, see the skin of her ass redden as I spanked some sense into her.

Just thinking about what adventures we would get up to caused my body to respond. I felt the front of my pants tighten as my arousal pushed painfully against my zipper.

Hissing under my breath, I used my right hand to try and adjust myself.

It would be interesting to see how things would go, as there would be a lot of firsts for the both of us where sex and being in a relationship were concerned. In a strange ironic way, I was happy that we were able to share something like this with each other.

Two broken people come together to make each other whole.

At this notion, I remembered what Jade had told me over a year ago about monsters needing love too. I was not sure if I truly believed the sentiment, but what I did know was that I needed her, and her love, as chaotic as it may appear, was perfect for me.

"She has me sounding like a lovesick puppy. Jade is definitely the boss indeed..." I grumbled as I shook my head and smiled.
