Tied to a Boss 3

by J. L Rose

  Dante turned around and walked back over to Alinna as she stood staring at him. He bent down, kissed her, and said, “You did your thing, shorty! I like it up in here and the whole setup. You got it put together in here.”

  “I’m glad you—”

  “Dante . . . ,” Natalie called out, interrupting Alinna as she was talking, to get Dante’s attention. “I’ve bought you something. Let’s go out back so I can show you.”

  Catching the look that Alinna shot him as he allowed Natalie to pull him out of the bathroom, Dante knew he was going to have to talk with both Natalie and Alinna . . . and very soon.

  Once outside and passing through the back part of the mansion, Dante saw D.J., Mya, and A.J. playing inside the fenced backyard. Dante followed Natalie through the fence gate as she led him through a walkway and onto a floating dock with an additional lift and watercraft floating pad. He stopped a moment later beside Natalie and looked up at a huge boat.

  “So what do you think, baby?” Natalie asked, smiling as she waved her hand out over the boat. “It’s your gift I bought you. It’s a sixty-foot luxury yacht. Do you like it?”

  “Hell yeah, woman!” Dante answered as he scooped up Natalie in his arms, causing her to scream playfully and go into a fit of giggling while he carried her onto the yacht.

  Alinna watched Dante as he carried a giggling Natalie onto the new yacht she had bought him. She noticed the way that he reacted to Natalie and the way the two of them reacted to each other. Alinna felt tears slowly begin to slide down her face at the realization of how much Dante was really in love with someone other than just her.

  “You alright, Alinna?”

  Brushing away the tears at hearing someone behind her, Alinna turned around only to find herself face-to-face with Carmen.

  “I’m fine, Carmen,” Alinna told the woman, forcing a smile. “Is everything okay with you? Do you need anything?”

  “Sweetheart, can I say something to you that I’m sure you need to hear?” Carmen asked, ignoring Alinna’s question about her well-being.

  “Go ahead, Carmen,” Alinna told the older woman, seeing the seriousness in her face.

  “Dante loves you, Alinna,” Carmen started, pausing a moment while holding the younger woman’s eyes. “Dante and I have had long talks, and he has told me a great deal about you and even how the two of you first met. But it was when Dante made the decision to deal with Angela that the two of you began to have trouble in your relationship. As a man, Dante knows his mistake was not agreeing to this Angela woman’s terms, but when he kept the truth from you is when he made his mistake. As a woman, I can understand your feelings and your reactions to finding out about Angela and Dante. But tell me something, Alinna. Why do you think Dante made the decisions he made and is still making?”

  “To protect me.”

  “Why is that?”

  “Because . . . because he loves me,” Alinna answered, crying freely now.

  Pulling Alinna into her arms and holding the younger woman, Carmen spoke again after a moment: “Alinna, Dante loves you. Trust me when I tell you this. But when you kicked him out of your life, you allowed someone else to accept him into theirs. Natalie loves Dante just as much as you do, but now it’s time for you to make a decision, Alinna. Do you love Dante enough to accept him as he is and what faults he has, or are you willing to give him up completely?”

  “I love Dante too much. I’m not letting him go again,” Alinna replied, talking more to herself than to Carmen.

  Standing in the shower, letting the hot water beat down on his back, neck, and shoulders, Dante stood thinking about different things that were crowding his mind. He gave up after a little while, trying to get his thoughts in order.

  Shutting off the shower, Dante opened the shower door, grabbed his towel from behind the door, dried off, and stepped out of the shower.

  He put on his silk panda boxers and then put on his Hanes wife beater. Dante left the bathroom, walked back out into the bedroom, and headed over to his dresser, when he heard the bedroom door open.

  He lifted his eyes and looked into the mirror above his dresser to see Alinna entering the bedroom. She was staring at him, dressed in his T-shirt. Dante focused back on what he was doing: spraying on some Polo body spray that Alinna had bought for him.

  “Dante, we need to talk,” Alinna told him as she climbed into the oversized bed.

  Lifting his eyes again to look back at Alinna through the mirror, and meeting her eyes, Dante sighed as he set down the spray bottle. He turned around and walked over to the bed, sat down beside Alinna, and said, “Alright. I already know what this is about, Alinna. What do you want me to do? We agreed she—”

  “Will you let me speak first, please?” Alinna asked, cutting off Dante in the middle of what he was trying to say. She rolled her eyes as she continued, “Like I was about to say. I’m not stupid, Dante. I can see that Natalie is really in love with you, and you’re in love with—”

  “Alinna, it’s . . .”

  “Shut up, Dante,” Alinna said, raising her voice as she gave him a look. “I can see that you’re in love with her also, Dante. I saw that clearly today while you two were together out on that new yacht she bought you. But I’ve said all of that to say this. I still stand by what we agreed on about Natalie coming to live with us. But there’s something that’s happening too.”

  “What’s that?”

  “You’re going to marry the both of us,” Natalie said, causing Dante to swing his head around and stare straight at her standing inside the bedroom, in front of the closed bedroom door.

  “What the hell?” Dante asked, looking from Natalie and swinging his head back around to Alinna. “What’s going on, Alinna?”

  “What’s going on is exactly what Natalie just told you now,” Alinna replied, looking at Natalie as she was now climbing into the bed beside her. She looked at Dante again and said, “I want you to marry me . . . and Natalie wants the same thing.”

  “How do you two expect to . . . ?” Dante paused in mid-sentence, staring at Alinna to Natalie and back again to Alinna. Both women were smiling at him as he continued, “I’m supposed to marry Alinna here in the US and then go to the Dominican Republic and marry Natalie?”

  “He catches on quick, doesn’t he?” Alinna said, smiling over at Natalie.

  “Let’s see if he can quickly catch on to what we want now, Alinna,” Natalie said, smiling as both she and Alinna crawled under the covers together and stared at Dante.

  Dante watched both women as the T-shirt that Alinna was wearing was pulled off. Then Natalie tossed her silk button-up night shirt and her matching shorts onto the floor. Dante sat up and stared for a moment before he was climbing onto the bed and moving in between both of the women.

  ***

  Dante switched back and forth, first kissing Alinna and then Natalie as they both ran their hands over him, pulling off his wife beater and boxers. They worked as a team against him, and Dante found himself forced onto his back. He then looked up at Natalie as she climbed on top of him and soon straddled his head. He met her eyes a moment before she lowered her dripping pussy down onto his face.

  Dante began licking Natalie the way she always really enjoyed. He gripped her by the waist and held her in place as he locked his lips onto her clit, sucking just hard enough to cause her to grab hold of his head with both hands, crying out his name. He then slid his tongue between the lips of her womanhood, feeling her womanly liquid flooding into his mouth.

  “Oh shit!” Dante cried out, almost choking on Natalie’s liquid as he felt Alinna’s lips tightly wrap around his manhood, sucking him deep.

  “Dante . . . please!” Natalie cried, gripping his head and grinding her pussy on his lips.

  Dante was working on Natalie while Alinna was working on him. He was trying hard to focus on what he was doing to Natalie until she cried out his name. He could feel her climax as he tried to catch as much of her liqu
id that was now pouring out of her, before she fell over to his side and onto the bed, breathing hard and smiling with her eyes closed.

  “Ready for me, handsome?” Alinna asked as she climbed onto Dante, straddling his lower half, staring into his eyes as she led him inside of her. “Oh God . . . Yesss, Dante!”

  Riding Dante hard, Alinna could feel him deep inside of her stomach as she gripped his muscular chest. Alinna then held his eyes as she continued riding him. She shifted her eyes over to Natalie as the other woman crawled over and began kissing Dante on the lips.

  Alinna watched Dante and Natalie kiss. As Dante reached out for her breasts, Alinna cried out as she rode him harder, actually getting more excited watching the two of them.

  Breaking the kiss with Dante to look up at Alinna after hearing her cry out, Natalie lay watching her a few moments. She then reached out and took Alinna’s right hand into hers. Feeling Alinna grip her hand tight, both women locked eyes a moment, until Alinna’s eyes rolled back into her head and she cried out, “Oh God . . . Danteeeee!”

  ***

  As Dante lay in bed between both Alinna and Natalie, both ladies asleep on each side of his chest, Dante lay awake just thinking about everything that was going on at the moment. His thoughts turned from Angela and her bullshit to Monica and even Fish Man, who was an ongoing problem that he was supposed to have already handled a long time ago.

  Dante slowly crawled out from under Alinna and then Natalie. He climbed out of bed and made his way into the bathroom and into the shower.

  Dante turned on both the hot and cold faucets, stood under the water, and leaned against the shower wall, when he heard the bathroom door open. A moment later, the shower door opened behind him.

  “You okay?” Alinna asked as she wrapped her arms around him from behind. “Something on your mind, isn’t it?”

  “Yeah,” Dante answered as he slowly turned around and faced her, still inside her arms. He wrapped his arms loosely around her. “I’m just putting together everything inside of my head. I’m planning out a few different other ideas, trying to decide which ones I am going to go with.”

  “Well, I should tell you now then,” Alinna said, lifting her head to look up at Dante. “Keisha got a call from Rob earlier today. She supposed to meet up with him, and she was supposed to call me and let me know where they at later on tonight.”

  “What you planning?”

  “First, I’ma find out exactly where Fish Man is, but then after that, I’ma make good on my promise to kill his ass!”

  Nodding his head in response, Dante stood quietly thinking a moment but then focused back on Alinna, saying, “We’ll handle this marriage in the morning down at the justice building, but then we need to see about renting a jet or something . . .”

  “Whoa!” Alinna said, stopping Dante in the middle of what he was saying. “We don’t need to rent no jet. Natalie has one, and she wants to go with us when we leave for Puerto Rico.”

  “Naw . . . ,” Dante said, shaking his head. “Natalie isn’t coming to Puerto—”

  “Dante! First . . . it’s her jet and, secondly, you just got back home . . . and she was the one taking care of things out here with me while you was away,” Alinna broke in, explaining to Dante and cutting him off. “If she wants to go, I really don’t see how you are going to stop her!”

  “Where’s Gomez?” Dante asked, angrily shaking his head, unable to believe the bullshit he was hearing.

  Smiling at seeing Dante give in, but pretty sure he was going to all but threaten Gomez about Natalie’s safety while they were away in Puerto Rico, Alinna asked, “Dante, what about Monica and Fish Man? We’re just going to leave while there are still problems here?”

  “I’ve been thinking about that,” Dante admitted. “Right now there’s a lot of attention on not just me, but on all of us. People are missing, and I just walked right out of jail scot-free after facing a death or life sentence for murdering two law enforcement officers. People are going to be expecting shit to start jumping off now that I’m back home. So we’re going to do the opposite. Let everybody think we’re not going to react to the bullshit. And with Angela out of the country, that’ll give us time to disappear for a while.”

  Nodding her head in agreement and understanding exactly what Dante was explaining, Alinna asked, “So we’re getting married tomorrow, huh?”

  Smiling as he shook his head at Alinna, Dante bent his head down and kissed her. Afterward, he said, “Yeah, Mrs. Blackwell. Tomorrow you will be Alinna Blackwell.”

  N atalie woke up to find Dante and Alinna gone, leaving her alone inside their bed. She climbed out of bed and went back to her own bedroom on the other side of the mansion, where she took a shower and then got dressed.

  When she was done, she left the bedroom and made her way to the kitchen, where she found Rose cooking while Harmony and Vanessa were eating at the breakfast bar with D.J., Mya, and A.J.

  “Hey, Natalie girl. We thought you was going to sleep the whole morning!” Harmony said, smiling over at the woman who was having another one of Dante’s baby.

  “Are you eating, Natalie?” Rose asked as she was stepping around another one of the chefs who was preparing food.

  “Thank you, Rose,” Natalie told her before turning back to Vanessa and Harmony and asking, “Do either of you know where Dante or Alinna went to?”

  “They left earlier this morning,” Vanessa told her. “Dante just said that they would be back later.”

  “They didn’t say where they were going?” Natalie asked, looking from Vanessa to Harmony and then back to Vanessa.

  “Sorry, Natalie . . . Dante just said that they would be back later,” Vanessa repeated just as Rose was setting down a plate of food in front of Natalie as both Dre and Wesley entered the kitchen.

  A little upset that Dante and Alinna would leave without at least telling her what they were about to do, Natalie tried to ignore the feeling as she sat down to eat her breakfast. Just then, her mother walked into the kitchen holding her cell phone up to her ear.

  When Natalie saw the expression on her mother’s face, she shook her head sadly, knowing Carmen was on the phone with her father.

  “What’s up everybody?” Tony T said as he entered the kitchen all hyped up. He stopped next to Harmony, kissed her on the cheek, and then asked, “Where my nigga Dante at?”

  “He and Alinna left this morning to handle something,” Harmony told her man as she continued to eat her food.

  “Well, when he say he coming back?” Tony T asked. “We got some business to discuss.”

  “What business?” Harmony and Natalie both asked, giving Tony T a look.

  “Whoa . . . relax ya’ll,” Tony T told both ladies, holding up his hand in surrender. “It’s legit business this time.”

  “What are you talking about, Tony T?” Vanessa asked as she sat down next to the women with a plate filled with food.

  Looking back as Amber entered the kitchen, kissing Wesley on her way to the refrigerator, Tony T saw that everybody but Dante and Alinna were present, so he said, “It’s like this, ya’ll. I helped out this white dude a few months back when he was about to get robbed by a few dudes. I just happened to peep, and because I had a few of Harmony’s young guns rolling with me, ain’t shit go down with the white dude. Come to find out, though, homeboy was going through a little business deal problem on this club he was trying to pen out on South Beach. He couldn’t get a partner to help out with the business, and then he was having some security problems . . .”

  “Let me guess!” Vanessa spoke up, cutting off Tony T as he was explaining. “The homeboy you talking about is willing to pay you for security, right?”

  “Let a nigga finish . . . damn!” Tony T said, shaking his head. “As a nigga was saying, I spoke with the white dude, and then I spoke with my nigga, Dante, who homeboy already heard of. Dante told me to make the guy an offer, and homeboy jumped all over it.”

  “What was the o
ffer, Tony T?” Natalie asked him.

  “Since we’ll be handling security, Dante offered the white guy a sixty-forty split in ownership,” Tony T told the others. “But he also put each of our names down as co-owners, so me, Dre, and Dante will split the forty percent among us.”

  “What about the girls?” Amber asked.

  “What about the girls?” Dante asked as he followed Alinna inside the back door, with James following behind.

  “Dante!” Natalie cried happily, jumping from her seat and rushing over to him.

  Dante caught Natalie as she threw her arms around his neck. He accepted the kiss she gave him, but then asked with a smile, “So I guess you missed me this morning?”

  “Where’d you go?” Natalie asked, pouting while still holding onto Dante.

  “I’m let Alinna tell everybody, but Natalie come with me real quick,” Dante told her, taking her hand. He then caught Alinna’s eye, winking at her before leading Natalie outside.

  “Alinna, what’s going on?” Vanessa asked her best friend.

  Smiling as she went inside her Burberry bag, Alinna pulled out a folded piece of paper. She then handed it over to Vanessa and said, “Read this.”

  Vanessa took the paper from Alinna, only for Harmony and Amber to slide in next to her to look over her shoulder. Vanessa then read the paper, but she then froze once she began reading it.

  “Oh shit, Alinna!” Harmony cried as she and Amber rushed over to hug her.

  “What the hell is going on?” Dre asked, taking the paper from a now-crying Vanessa.

  Leaving her seat to hug her girl, Vanessa wrapped her arms around Alinna and said, “Girl, I am so happy you finally married my brother crazy ass. It’s about time!”
