The Pleasure of Pain

by Shameek Speight

  “You know we will,” Bless replied.

  “Can you two pick me up tomorrow? They won’t let me leave here unless someone picks me up and I know my mother and father won’t come.”

  “We’ll be here to pick you up, girl,” Bless said. Tess hugged her friend and Bless did the same before they left.

  The next day Tess, Bless, Vanessa, and Ebony came to pick Iris up. Iris never felt so much love before. Her own flesh and blood didn’t even care about her, but none of that mattered anymore because she found a new family in her friends. That night they got high, ate out, and then went back to Bless’ place to make a plan. Iris didn’t only want to kill D-Low. She wanted to take everything he had. Bless had been teaching Tess and Iris about the game and now it was time to put those lessons to work.

  Caught Slipping

  Chapter 7

  Boom was hustling in front of D-Low’s building. He was making all the weed sales he could so he could finish his pack and go find some pussy and take it upstairs. It had been a month since he’d gotten any pussy. The last time he got his dick wet was with that Spanish girl they had fucked and beaten. Boom grabbed his dick just thinking about the sweet pussy he’d gotten that night. Then he got mad. He hated the fact that he always had to stay outside while Phats got to bag up weed and his so called boss D-Low got to stay in his bedroom fucking Keri’s young fine ass. ‘He should pass that pussy,’ Boom thought to himself. Boom was startled from his daydream of fucking Keri by a sexy voice.

  “I heard you got that good weed, Boom.”

  Boom looked up to see a sexy, young, dark skinned girl. “Yeah, I got that good shit. That’s why they call me Boom. I have that shit that make you so high you feel as if you’ve blown up,” Boom responded speaking his weak game to the girl. Boom looked her up and down from head to toe with lust in his eye. ‘Damn, her body is right. I have to tap that,’ he thought to himself.

  “Let me get two dime bags,” the girl said. Boom pulled his weed stash out of his boxes and handed the girl two dime bags as he took her money. He pulled a note from his pocket and added the money to it. He usually didn’t pull out his money on the street, but wanted to show it off to the girl. By the way she looked at it, it worked.

  “Yo, who you about to smoke with?” Boom asked.

  “No one,” the girl said while licking her lips in a way that turned Boom on.

  “Cause you can chill with me,” Boom replied.

  “Where because I’m not about to chill in no hallway,” the girl said with an attitude.

  “Nah boo, I got a spot upstairs,” Boom said.

  “Okay,” she replied. Boom was smiling inside. He knew he was going to tap that ass. Either she was going to give it up or he was going to take it. One way or another, that pussy was his tonight. Boom turned his back and took his keys out and opened the front door.

  Tess smiled and thought this shit was easy just like Bless taught her. Most of these fake ass hustlers think with their dick and only a weak man will do that. She now knew Bless was right. ‘This fool doesn’t even know me from a hole in the wall and he already turned his back on me and opened the front door,’ she thought to herself. Tess pulled out a baby 9mm handgun and put the barrel to the back of Boom’s head and with hate in her voice she said, “Don’t fucking move pussy.”

  Just then Bless and Iris came out of the dark and pushed Boom in the building and shut the door behind them. Bless patted down Boom and found a 22 caliber handgun, his weed pack, money, and keys.

  “Head up the stairs. If you make a fucking sound, you’re dead,” Bless said.

  Boom knew who Bless was and was so scared that he pissed on himself. He knew Bless didn’t pull guns out unless he used them. Boom then looked at Iris and knew he was really fucked. Iris looked down at his wet pants and smiled.

  “Listen, I didn’t know she was your peoples. It was D-Low’s idea. Please man.” Smack! Bless hit him with the butt of his gun.

  “I told you to go upstairs pussy and do not say a word,” Bless yelled. Boom led them to D-Low’s apartment floor. “Which way is it?” Bless asked.

  “It’s that one,” Boom replied. Iris put the key in the door and slowly opened it.

  “Yo, Boom you done with that pack already?” Phats asked never looking up from the table. He was still bagging pounds of weed.

  Iris stepped in closer and put the gun to Phats head, “If you move, I’ll kill you.” Phats looked up with shock in his eyes. ‘How the fuck she get in here?’ was his only thought until he saw Boom with guns to his head held by Bless and Tess.

  “Where is D-Low?” Bless asked.

  “He’s in his bedroom fucking Keri.” Phats answered.

  “You two watch them. I’m going to get D-Low,” Bless told the girls.

  Jamaican music could be heard coming from the bedroom. As Bless made his way to the bedroom, he opened the door slowly. The two lovers were so into what they were doing they didn’t even see Bless standing there. Bless watched as D-Low sucked away at Keri’s pussy. Bless laughed at him, ‘All that shit Jamaicans be talking about how they don’t eat no pussy or suck no cunt as they call it. Here this fool’s face all in it.’ Bless had enough of this hilarious scene, “Don’t fucking move pussy.”

  D-Low looked up with cum all over his chin to see Bless standing there with a gun pointed to his face.

  “Why did you stop I was about to cum again?” Keri was so into her pussy getting sucked she asked as her eyes were still closed. When she opened them, she almost screamed seeing Bless standing there with his 9mm pointed at them. D-Low looked in Bless’ eyes and knew he wouldn’t live past that night.

  In the living room, Phats looked at the young girls and his pride started to take over. ‘How could I get caught slipping by these young bitches? How am I going to let them rob me or shoot me when they came into D-Low’s place?’ They didn’t pat Phats down. He still had his 3.80 Ruger under his shirt.

  “You know what? I think you bitches don’t have the heart to use those guns and you know what else? Fuck you,” Phats yelled as he reached for the gun under his shirt, but was too slow. Lead filled his body up from Tess and Iris’ guns. His body jerked and fell to the floor where he died instantly on the spot. Then Tess and Iris aimed their guns at Boom.

  “Please! No, please!” His cries went to deaf ears as the first shot caught him in his dick making him bend over yelling in pain. The next shot caught him in his jaw shattering every bone in his mouth. Then bullets slammed into his head, chest, and stomach. He was dead before he hit the ground. It was Tess and Iris’s first time shooting anybody and from the feel of it they knew it wouldn’t be their last. Bless warned them not to hesitate when it comes to putting their murder game down or they would be down themselves. So they listened. Tess and Iris reloaded their guns.

  In the bedroom Keri and D-Low heard the gunshots and knew it didn’t look good for them. Bless led them to the living room. Iris laughed at seeing D-Low and Keri standing there naked with a gun pointed to each of their heads.

  “Tess grabbed a sheet and wrapped the weed in it,” Bless ordered. Tess did what she was told. “D-Low, is this all the weed you got?” Bless asked.

  “I have more just don’t kill me.” D-Low was now looking at his two dead workers on the floor. “The weed and money are in the bedroom closet and there’s more money under the bed.”

  Tess and Iris made their way to the bedroom and put all the weed and money in a sheet along with anything else they had found worth anything. They came in the living room. The sheet was too heavy for them to carry. So they had to drag it across the floor.

  “Lie on your stomach D-Low and don’t move,” Bless ordered.

  “What?” D-Low yelled.

  “You heard me.” Bless snapped back. D-Low did what he was told. Iris grabbed a broomstick and came where D-Low was lying. She spit on it and with all her might pushed it up D-Low’s ass.

  “AHHHH!” D-Low yelled.

  “Shut the fuck up and take it. How doe
s it feel?” Iris yelled while pushing it in and out of D-Low’s ass. She pushed it in deeper and left the broomstick stuck in his ass. D-Low was yelling and crying. The whole time D-Low was getting stuck Keri was just standing there crying, scared shitless. Her gut told her to run and she took off for the door to only be met with a hail of bullets from Tess and Iris’s guns. They watched her body fall in front of the door.

  Tess walked over to Keri’s body and shot her twice in the head. D-Low was now crying even harder and began to beg for his life. Tess, Bless, and Iris aimed their guns at D-Low and allowed the bullets to rip through his body leaving him dead. Bless pulled out a small bottle of gas and poured it around the bodies and the apartment. All three of them put black rags over their faces. Iris lit the gas on the floor with a match as they left and they took off running.

  Back at Bless’s place they counted the weed and money. It came up to twenty pounds of chocolate weed, five pounds of green weed, fifteen thousand dollars in cash, and five guns. Just like what they had planned, they hit D-Low when he restocked on his weed. Bless, Tess, and Iris put the weed in the streets with workers and had Vanessa and Ebony would run the blocks. From then on, there was no looking back and no stopping them.

  Present Day

  Chapter 8

  Tess snapped back to reality and was done counting the money. “There is a hundred thousand dollars apiece for each of us,” Tess said. “Here is your cut.”

  “Damn, girl that was a good pay day,” Vanessa replied, “Plus the one million we get for the hit on Hector, we’re good,” Vanessa continued.

  “Yo Ebony, make sure you hit Omar off with some more work so the workers on the block don’t run low,” Tess ordered.

  “I got you, Tess,” Ebony replied.

  “I’m about to go visit Bless today. So, I’ll see you when I get back.” Tess said as she took off.

  The Visit

  Chapter 9

  Tess jumped in her red 7.45 BMW and drove upstate for two hours to the Coxsackie Correction Facility. She checked in and signed in to visit Bless. When she came into the visiting room, she couldn’t help getting wet and it showed on her face. She had a smile of pure lust on her face. Bless was sitting at the table waiting for her. Bless was a sexy, chocolate brother, six foot two inches tall, two hundred fifty pounds, and very muscular from spending his time working out. He had short wavy hair. His thug style and business mind made him even more attractive and deadly at the same time.

  “Hey baby,” Bless said as he stood up to hug Tess. They kissed deep and long. Tess let out a moan and then sat down at their table.

  “Damn, I miss you baby. I can’t wait for you to come home,” Tess said meaning every word.

  “I miss you too girl and I only got three weeks left,” Bless replied.

  “I miss your touch and your hard dick baby,” Tess responded.

  “I miss your sweet stuff too baby! Yo, how is Iris? She cool?”

  Bless knew that Iris and his girl messed around, but it didn’t mean shit because Bless knew he had what Tess really wanted and needed. That was his chocolate, ten inch dick. Bless and Tess had been together for seven years since they were sixteen and now they were twenty three years old. So much time together made it hard for anybody else to fulfill their needs, but one another. They were more than lovers, but best friends. She shared everything with him and he did the same with her. From the time they killed D-Low and his crew, they ran the streets together as king and queen.

  “So, baby how is the business?” Bless asked.

  “Which one boy,” Tess responded.

  “You know which one.”

  “Well the real estate business is going good. I sold four town houses this month,” Tess said.

  “Damn girl, you doing the damn thing,” Bless said with a smile on his face.

  Tess knew Bless would be happy to hear the news. The real estate business was the one he really cared about because he looked at it as his way out of the game. He knew they had the streets on lock. In jail, Bless could hear everything. Bless knew Tess ran the business with no games played. He taught her everything about the street. So he was not worried at all how she handled the business.

  “Damn, I miss you girl. I can’t wait to tear that pussy up,” Bless said.

  “Mmm, so why wait? Let’s go take some pictures in the photo booth.”

  They got up and walked over to the photo booth. The correctional officer was too busy watching all the other inmates in the visiting room to really notice them. Plus, the officer on the visiting floor today was on Bless’ payroll. Tess bent down and put money in the photo machine. They closed the curtain and Tess lifted her dress up and sat down on Bless’s dick.

  “Damn girl, your pussy feels so good and wet,” Bless moaned.

  “No baby, this dick feels good,” Tess moaned back. Tess started to slow grind on his dick something they learned when they were younger, the slower, the better, the sweeter. “Hmmm yes, yes baby, give me that dick. This pussy is yours, baby. Yours daddy,” Tess moaned as they were grinding their hips to the same rhythm. Bless grabbed her ass and pulled her all the way down on his dick making his dick go up as far inside her as it could go. “Mmm, ooh baby, I feel it in my stomach,” Tess moaned.

  “Whose pussy, whose pussy is this?” Bless said while speeding up and going deeper inside of her.

  “Yours daddy, yours, the only one for me,” Tess yelled. Bless flipped her over and made her hold the photo booth’s wall while he pulled his dick in and out, very slowly teasing her pussy. Then he started to pound away until they both came at the same time. “I love you, Bless.”

  “I love you too, Mami. Let’s get out of this booth before we make it hot.” Tess bent down and grabbed the picture they took while they were having sex. “Damn girl, look at the face you made, ha ha.”

  On the picture you could see Tess’s face while Bless hit it from the back. “If your dick wasn’t so big my face wouldn’t be looking like that.” They both laughed and went back to their table.

  “Here girl, you take these pictures home. I don’t want to keep shit here. I’ll be home soon anyways and we will spend time making a lot more photos,” Bless said with his sexy smile that Tess loved so much.

  “Baby, I’ll have everything ready for you as soon as you come home. I promise,” Tess said.

  “I know boo. You always have my back. I’m not worried,” Bless responded.

  Tess knew Bless didn’t want to stay in the drug game anymore. He just wanted to fuck with the real estate and start a family. Tess wanted the same thing, but she got used to the money and wanted to save enough to never look back. She never told him she was making money on the side as a contract killer with Vanessa, Iris, and Ebony. She knew Bless well enough to know he wouldn’t tolerate it, but shit the money was for them and she had to raise it to stay in the real estate business. Houses cost a lot of money these days and she wouldn’t allow her and Bless to fall off. This had been their dream for years and she wouldn’t stop for no one.

  “Visit time is over,” a fat correctional officer yelled.

  “Yo boo, you know what that means,” Bless said as he stood up. “I love you!” He kissed Tess while grabbing her ass at the same time.

  “I love you too, daddy. I’ll see you real soon,” Tess replied. Tess left the jail on cloud nine happier than ever that her man would soon be home.

  No Longer a Predator

  Chapter 10

  Bless went back to his dorm after the visit and went in his cell to lie down and think about his life. He had a lot of time to do that. He had been locked up for three years. He got sentenced to three years because it was the lowest they could give him since they didn’t have any real evidence on him. The District Attorney wanted something to stick so they locked him up on a conspiracy charge. Bless usually didn’t talk on phones, but one of his workers called talking some hot shit about crack and how he needed to move and couldn’t find Bless’ Lieutenant to restock.

  Bless told
him he got him and that’s all it took to get him locked up. His worker Moe had the phone tapped. He was working with the cops. Bless trusted Moe since he pretty much raised him. He never thought he’d cross him, but he was wrong. Lesson well learned. Bless promised he’d kill Moe once he was out. Little did he know it had already been done by Tess.

  Bless had come to jail as a predator, wilding out on everyone, fighting, and cutting people left and right. His name rung bells and he wanted it to stay that way. He was a boss on the streets. He had Brooklyn locked down, some out of town spots, and was the head of his own blood gangs. His set was called sex, money, and murder and only his team had that name. You had to be a real gangster to be down with his crew.

  In jail, Bless got whatever he wanted and if he didn’t, he would take it, but over time he got tired of wilding out and became calm. Besides his queen Tess made sure he didn’t want anything in the world. He was a boss in the street and damn sure he was a boss in jail and carried himself as one.

  While Bless was lying on his bed in his cell, G came to the cell door followed by Burt. G and Burt were both forty years old and real O.G.’s (Old Gangsters) to the drug game. They had been in jail back and forth many times before Bless was ever born.

  “What’s going on there,” G said. “You got a visit and shit and now you going to play the cell youngster,” G said.

  “No G, I’m cool. I was just thinking that’s all,” Bless responded.

  “Thinking about the pussy you missed I bet,” Burt said as him and G busted out laughing. They done seen so many young dudes come in here and stress out over their woman and that shit was funny to them because they had been there and done that. They knew Bless wasn’t that way, but they loved fucking with him just to get a laugh.

  G and Burt were as different as night and day. G was a gangster, a killer, and an old timer who didn’t give a fuck. He’d step to any dude, young or old, and put the beat down on them. Burt was a gangster, but over the years the time he spent in jail made him wiser. He talked about politics, business, and books. Bless thought together they made a perfect person, but apart they were too crazy. G was off the wall, crazy as fuck, and could hurt someone real bad or even kill them at any given time if he got mad enough. Burt was smart, but would let dudes get away with saying smart shit to him.
