JETT
Jesus.
I looked down at the mess in my living area. Calling a clean-up crew was out of the question—everyone knew Nic. The worst thing was Nic had introduced me to everyone in the business, Carlo being one of the first.
Did I feel upset she was gone? Hell no.
I probably should, but not one sliver of remorse. She should have listened when I told her to leave. This was her own damn fault.
The door to the apartment opened and closed. York stepped into the living area almost dropping his coffee in surprise.
“Is that—?”
“Yeah.”
He knelt down to assess the damage. “Nic never would have had her back to you.”
“She didn’t.”
“Ebony did this?”
He was surprised. Fuck if I hadn’t seen it first hand, I’d be in the same position. Just a year ago, Ebony would have hidden from this scene, but now she was causing the damage herself. I saw her enraged eyes as she continued to stab over and over again. She had been frenzied. My heart hammered at the mere sight of her as she destroyed Nic in front of me.
“Yep.”
York chuckled causing me to look at him in horror until I started to laugh with him.
What a fucking mess.
“We better start. Where’s Eb?”
“Sleeping.”
“Soundly?”
I nodded. “She’ll need to.”
In theory, the sleeping pill I’d given her should keep her knocked out for at least six hours. Then again Ebony always surprised me, so we needed to work hard and fast.
“Burn or dismember?” York asked, straightening.
“Dismember, then burn.”
York nodded. “I’ll set up the garage.”
He left, knowing this was going to have to be done by us and not Carlo. Nic was well respected in this city. Even my reputation wouldn’t be enough to keep the wolves at bay if they found out what had happened here last night. Bending down, I picked up Nic’s body and tossed her over my shoulder. She was fucking heavy for someone so tiny. Rigor had set in making it hard to move her, but eventually I got her down into the garage without causing too much damage to my doorframes.
Perhaps the three rounds with Ebony next to the body wasn’t best, but fuck it had been the best sex I’d had in well—ever. York was waiting by a tarp he had spread out on the ground. I noticed the vat of acid was already gone. Damn it. York knew what I needed before I knew I needed it myself. The chainsaw lay next to him ready for Nic’s body. It was a shame to dismember such a specimen, but hey, she would have done the same to my body if it had been reversed. I dropped her on the tarp with a loud thud.
York made quick work of disposing limb after limb tossing each to me after he’d separated it. I put them into a bag. The best place to burn them would be at the cabin.
He picked up his coffee and went back to drinking it as if nothing had just occurred once all the body parts were in the bag. The entire garage was bloodied and messy. It would take weeks to clean this place up, but I felt relieved for the first time in a very long time. I was finally the boss of my empire with nothing in the way of reaching further.
“Get cleaned up, Boss. I’ll meet you at the cabin in an hour.”
I nodded heading upstairs for a shower. We’d need to head out before Ebony woke up, or else we’d have her wanting to roast marshmallows over the burning body parts and for some reason, I pictured her enjoying that.
Maybe I should allow her to come with us I mused as I turned on the taps to the shower.
