Page 76 of Shattered Queens: Veronica
The elevator door opens, and I eat up the steps to her apartment. Her laughs grow louder as I approach her door. I reach for the door handle, and it’s locked. Fuck, my keys are in the car. I take a step back, and with one kick, her front door swings open.
The sight in front of me makes me lose any control I had.
Veronica
Chapter 35
A Few Hours Earlier
I’m so angry. I cried myself to sleep earlier. I woke up with a fuck-everyone attitude. I looked at my social media and found exactly who I needed. Angel. She travels in the party scene, and since it’s Saturday night, I knew I’d find her in the background of someone’s post. And I did.
I texted Kai the location for tonight, and when I make it out of my building, he’s already waiting for me. It doesn't take us long to get to our destination. Unlike the last bar I went to, my cousins have no say here. They aren’t the owners, and unlike their bar, this one is shadier. I know I’ll get what I came for.
I make my way inside and scan the area. The music is loud, and the lights flicker to the beat of the song. I can feel eyes on me. I’m certainit’s the revealing outfit that I'm wearing, showcasing my voluptuous features. I make my way to the bar and lean forward to give the bartender a view of my tits. I order a vodka tonic and look around. I know she’s here somewhere.
A man approaches me. “Hello, beautiful.”
He’s tall and is all muscles; he’ll do. I feel an ache in my heart, but I ignore the feeling. Miles made a fool of me. More so because I asked him for help; I let him see my shame. Fuck him, and fuck my brothers.
I bat my eyes and give Mr. Muscles a smile. Men fall for that shit all the time.
“Hi, I’m Kate,” I lie. Hell if I’m going to tell him who I really am.
“Beautiful name for a beautiful woman. I’m Vaun.”
God. Does that actually work on women? I look at the dance floor and see her: Angel.
I turn and look at my new friend, Vaun, and turn on the charm. “How about you stay here and wait for me? I’m going to say hello to a friend real quick.”
“All right, beautiful.” He turns to the bartender and orders a drink.
I can feel his eyes on me. I approach Angel, and she immediately recognizes me. She grabs my hand and leads me away from the dance floor.
“What the fuck are you doing here, Veronica?” she shouts so I can hear her over the music.
“You know why I’m here, Angel.”
“Who would have thought Ms. Veronica Kayde would hunt little ole me down for drugs?” I can see she’s enjoying this.
What a bitch. I place my hands on my hips. “Or I could just have my cousin hunt you down.” That wipes that smug look off her face. “Do you want my money ornot?”
She extends her hand and opens her palm. I take a couple of hundred-dollar bills out of my purse and place them into her hand. She pulls a small plastic bag from between her breasts, takes three pills out, and hands them to me.
“These are new, but don’t worry, they’ll give you what you’re looking for. Have fun, Veronica.” Then, she walks away, back onto the dance floor.
I look at the pink pills, placing one under my tongue and the other two in my clutch. Then I make my way to my new friend. He’s still at the bar, waiting for me. When I reach him, I wrap my arms around his neck, lean into him, whispering, “Let’s get out of here.” I take his hand and lead him out of the bar. He kisses my neck as we walk out. His kisses are harsh, but that won’t matter soon. Kai is leaning against the car. I don’t wait for him to open the door for me. Vaun and I get into the back seat. I can feel the pill’s effects. I pull Vaun into a kiss; his body is practically on top of mine. His hands roam my body; every touch makes my body feel like it’s a live wire. I bite his lip and grind my pussy on him.
“Fuck, Kate.”
Mmmm. “That’s what I’m counting on.” I laugh. I needed this—to let go of my pain and shame. I need something meaningless. I hear someone’s phone ring in the background, but I don’t care. Vaun kisses my neck, making me laugh. We pull up to my apartment building and head straight to the elevator. As soon as we enter, Vaun pins me against the wall. He grinds his dick on me, not that big, but it will do. I grind right back as if that will make his dick grow a couple of inches. It’s not the size but what you do with it, right?
The elevator opens, and I grab my keys as he grabs my waist and kisses my neck. We enter my apartment, and I close my door. My purse and keys fall to the floor. I face the man I just met and head to my bedroom.He pushes me against the wall a bit harder than I expected. He puts his hands above my head and looks around.
“Are you going to fuck me or look around?” I ask; my body feels like it’s going to combust. Vaun presses his body weight against me. He grabs my hand and places it over his hard cock. I don’t know why I laugh, but he doesn’t seem to like that.
“It’s not nice to laugh at a man’s dick,” he says bitterly.
“How about you show me what you can do with it?”
