Gutemberg (Ghost).
"Ghost, wake up." Someone nudges my arm and by the firmness of the touch, I can tell it's not a woman. I mutter something and pull the sheet up, covering half of my face." Wake up! Here is notmotel, no.
Wait, maybe it's a woman.
This voice…
"My husband is coming, you need to go!" I pull the sheet down, spotting a pair of legsturned and feminine,Lucky me, rising the look capturethe short shirtand thenthe front commission.Fuck it! Othe two melons aresofed upthat are almost jumping in my faceand demanding a bite. Oh! They havemarks ofbikini.
I love these marks.
"Are you married, beautiful?" I open an indecent smile, passing my tongue between my lips without deviating from the beautiful pair of breasts.
" Ok… joking with my face?" She says, acquiring an annoyed expression that makes me want to roll my eyes,but I stay neutral, just staring at her and waiting for an answer." Serious?"Speaks, with both eyebrows raised.
" What's serious, honey?" The brunette makes a sound with thelanguageand walks awaynthe direction thechair, where the fan sits and grabs my shirt.
" Well, Suzy warned you that you were no good." He starts mumbling.
Who is Suzy?I think.
My head is exploding.
"I'm sorry, beautiful, but what's your name?" The woman's chin quivers and for a second I think she's going to start crying.or hit me.
" Go to hell!" He yells, throwing an empty shoebox at me.
What the hell.
"What is your problem?" I say, dodging a hairbrush. "Are you fucking crazy!?"
A scent flies towards my head.
" Oh, fuck!!!"
"What's my problem?" He keeps yelling, releasing a high-pitched fake laugh as he points between my legs." He seemed to know me pretty well yesterday.”
Yesterday.
What a day it istoday?
My head throbs in response.
I give her a crooked smile, sitting up and leaning my back against the headboard.now that she stopped throwing things at me.
"Let's do this"
I peek under the covers, starting to get little flashes of what just happened. We were at a party at my cousin's condo in Ipanena.
"Do you know my cousin?" I question, searching the whereabouts of my underwear across the bed.
" Your cousin?" The brunette looks confused by my question, letting out a small groan as I get to my feet.
I flash a smug smile.
"Am I distracting you, beautiful?"
The alarm goes off from somewhere in the room and the woman jumps in place. She doesn't look like one of my cousin's friends, Isadora is too preppy to have a friend who doesn't wear silk nightwear.
"My husband!"
" As?"
" That's the time my husband usually arrives, you need to go, now!"
I scratch my chin, feeling the hair I shaved two days ago starting to grow in, and look at her intently. She's married, she doesn't look that much older than me, but she might be.
" Are they for real?" I point to her breasts and she gasps.
"If you can see them, then they're real."
wow.
" Did the question piss you off, brunette?"
"Won't you go away?" Theargues and I feel the frisson of challenge run through my body. I'm sure she wants me out of here before her husband arrives, she should want that anyway, but now I'm tempted to check and taste her huge and marked breasts.
"Did you like what we did yesterday?" rI decide to play with her head, releasing memories that I myself don't know about, but from the way her thighs have just pressed against each other, I'm sure she remembers. Fortunately, I'm already firm, strong and ready for action.
"I was drunk." ttries to find a justification, probably thinking about her husband's cuckold. what a decent girl.
"Well, you're sober now."
"My husband…"
"shiii "He advances toward you, sticking his ring finger in the middle of your lips to prevent you from speaking."You want, don't deprive yourself of something pleasurable just for mere social conventions."I whisper the last part into her ear, pushing my finger into her mouth. The naughty licks, circling the tip with her tongueand leaving me in the right spot." Good girl. I want to taste that little mouth.
I slide my thumb down her cheek, stroking her chin, the shape of her mouth and urging her to open it.
"What do you want me to do?" I brush my lips over hers and push her shoulder down, forcing her to her knees. It takes her a second to understand my intentions, but she breaks into the biggest dirty bitch smile when she stares at my cock.
"I want you to have your breakfast, beautiful." I smack my length into her face and she laughs, grabbing it in both of her hands and initiating a slow caress." You'd better hurry, little wife. Your husband is coming and will want his own coffee. She puts it in her mouth and sucks it hard, go, bitch." I twist her hair in one hand and force her to swallow every inch.
She chokes.
"You are too big, no I can." revise eyes for your morning. How cool.
"Are justeight inches." The argument, knowing that it is possible. that bitch Pryia has put it in her mouth several times without protest."Come on, honey. You can."I touch your cheek to motivate,petting her so that she purrs like a cat. She tries one more time, however, fumbles,choking andalmost takesinga piece of my most prized possessiontogether."Knows how to do Spanish,at least? " what I question, not wanting to lose in the situation.
The woman pulls down the straps of her nightgown, brings the two mounds together around my cock, and begins to rub, the soft, tempting flesh of her breasts giving me the sight thatI need to forget about the incident and get back to where I started, my hand goes back to her hair and I order her to lick the head at the same time as she milks me with her extra G tits. come out, I make her swallow everything without mercy.
"It's been a pleasure, brunette." I gather all my clothes and get dressed in record time, I don't want to mess with anyone's husband and I have my own issues to deal with.
One, actually.
Pryia.
"Aren't you forgetting something, dear?"I peek over my shoulder and find the woman still with her tits out, her lips swollen from the thickness of my cock and sigh. Time to be a motherfucker.
" Thanks?"
His gaze tightens.
Here we go.
"Sorry, I should have said earlier that I don't do orals." The woman's eyes widen and I notice that they are greenish."Look, it's not just you. I just don't feel horny sucking a woman, I prefer to get straight to the point.
"You are a selfish asshole,you knew? "he attacks and I finish putting the shirt on.
"You knew,butit's not like you're an unforgettable fuck." I think it's better to hold on with the hubby, because a man who marries a woman he doesn't knowIt issuck, must be a saint.
"He's so much better than you!"
I smile.
"Is that why you let me fuck you in his bed?" Her mouth opens, but no words come out. No arguments, great.I think this is my cue." hi, a pleasure. Your breasts are wonderful, I will really keep them in my memory."blink and heThea makes sound of disgust, showing the middle finger.
How childish.
"Pryia was right to dump you." I was already at the door when she spoke and I don't know why, in fact I know, she, always her. My fucking ex. Anyway, I spin on my heel and lunge at the woman, grabbing her by the neck.and seeing everything red.The kitten messed with the wrong dog, I don't usually just bark.
"Wrong game, beautiful." I press harder, sure it will leave the mark and her good husband will notice. "Don't speak that bitch's name!"
" My husband is a p-policeman." She murmurs with difficulty, already starting to turn red.
I want to laugh at your scared face. What does she think? That she's going to scare me by saying her husband knows how to use a gun?
"And? My mother is a judge." I confess, pulling the letter that I rarely use. The bitch must have really pissed me off. Squeeze your neck harderThe, smiling when she coughs and tries to gasp for air. I use my free hand to cup her nose and watch as her lips start to turn purple.
releaseI turn to the woman and kiss her forehead.
She coughs, flinching from my touch.
"Take care."
I leave the apartmentin long strides, taking care to check the hall before stepping out altogether. Luckily, the building doesn't seem to have cameras. Digging through my back pocket for my phone, I find the white gold chain I ripped from my ex-girlfriend's neck after our tenth fight this month.
Screw this.
I shove the object back into my pants pocket and grab my cell phone. The first thing I do is check the messages and see if the bitch has already regretted it, but I don't find anything. Anger consumes me, mainly because I was dying topass on her face that I had another one last night. She must be trying to play hard to get, play hard to get so I'm the only one chasing after her.
Will not happen.
I go to my dad's messages and type that Morgana, my little sister and her sweetheart are doing fine which leads me to text her and ask her the same question.
She is not a child.
I say to myself, but I type to Vincent and ask him to stop by my apartment to check on her. teenagers areannoying and like to play pranks, despite the fact that the brat spends most of the time with his face buried in books,It isuI took care of her for a month, so I need to make sure she doesn't come back pregnant.Home. I open the group of guys, the friends I met when I leftPryia noyourneighborhood Bird of prey*and send the figure diseagle, is our code for asking if everything, Timmy sends another, a full glass of water which means yes, but then he types: I want to suckpopsicle. Which means the boss wants to talk to me.
I put my phone back in my pocket and press the button for the elevator.
A few minutes and it opens, a man comes out, waves and follows the same path I took to get here.
Does?
I wait for him to move away and I crane my neck,catchinggoes intorin the same apartment I left.
Time to go.
Will the lunatic decide to confess the horn she put on her husband and the unfortunate man comes after me? I can'tgoing back to jail, but I can't do without a good fight.
Betting I didn't get here with my car, I ask thegentleman at the conciergewhere can I get a taxi and go straight to my house. My cell phone beeps as soon as I cross the threshold, I tap the message without looking at the sender and brake in the middle of the roomwhen I realize who it belongs to.
DAVINAThe sweet smell of the strawberry sauce Grandma made is still strong when I walk into the kitchen, despite everything being clean and disinfected. She said that this is a special cake, because it is part of a large order that she received, and that the money would be used to rent a commercial space to start her bakery. Like an ant after candy, I follow my favorite scent until I trace the clear plastic container, emblazoned with your unique brand logo. That I made myself on my cell phone, on the marble bench that separates the part with the stove from the table we use for meals. I ask the exaggerated pink bow she puts on all her orders, and I read the name written in icing on top of the cake.Pryia.The middle sister of the owner of the hill.I knew she was having a birthday today, I was woken up by the fireworks display that her brother organized exclusively for today, but I didn't know that it was Grandma who was preparing all the sweets and cake, I thought that the order she

I muttered, already regretting having asked for his help.""I doubt.""We were friends, remember? I know every part of you.

I get angry and pull the arm.Without looking back, I leave Timmy talking to himself. Got enough shit in my truck to worry about your feelings today, who knows, never. I go down the slope running, almost tripping over half a dozen balls of plastic scattered across the floor, balancing me at the last second."It has to be Davina "one of the boys growls, I think it's the son of a bitch madam Sirilla, the grocery box where grandma buys most of her ingredients.

GUTEMBERG (Ghost) Every government has laws. Every crime has a purpose. Every society has rules. It's pure logic, we're just so obsessed with the idea of freedom that we don't see the obvious. We are still the same. Turns out it's so much more, It's easy to pretend there's no control. The laws in the criminal world are simple, but here there is a crown, a prickly and bloody, an ammo belt under the head, and each decision is minimally thought out to cause the smallest impact. Which also means that the king's orders must be obeyed. I clear my throat, scratching the back of my neck as Timmy cleans his pistol. As if last night never existed. "Are you well?"he asks with a smile provocative on the lips, glad enough to make me opine how many times has he participated in torture. Many must be the answer. For someone like Timmy, born and raised in the community, episodes of violence come naturally. But no for me. I try not to look like I'm about to puke just looking at all the blood al
GUTEMBERGI slide the gate bolt slowly, checking over my shoulder to see if any lights have come on since I locked the front door, when I realize they haven't, I let out a sigh of relief and look down. I stare at my bare, dirty feet, then scenes from last night explode inside my head and the smell of blood hits me.The blood is stuck to my clothes and skin, a clear note of what I've done.In my right hand, my phone vibrates non-stop.I crush the urge to answer the call and throw the device away, it hits the wall and falls to the floor.My parents have an important place in society, a place inherited from my father's family, a place my mother will never relinquish, a position I have never had the option of denying. To all the important people in San Diego, I am Gutemberg Ramsey, a promising lawyer with a penchant for dangerous sports, fast romances and a born activist. To the underprivileged part of West City, a place we call the Hill, I'm the right-hand man of the local drug dealer.
DAVINAThe blanket I chose earlier today, the same one I've been using since I was thirteen and welcomed as a favorite after Grandma confessed that she sewed it herself, barely covers the bed, leaving a third of the mattress exposed. The thing is, I refuse to change the blanket and get a new one.Even with the bedroom door locked, I can hear my parents arguing, every day they find a new reason to fight, even if the reason is something silly like leaving the orange peel in the sink. It's nonsense, we all know that Mom blames Dad for Pryia's departure. Another piece of nonsense. My sister has always hated this place and was going to leave sooner or later, it just happened to be soon enough to drive Mom crazy.I throw myself back on the bed, drowning among the lined pillows. My sister used to tease me about this as a child, pointing out how strange I was for having so many pillows around me that there was no room left for me on the mattress.The memory makes me look away, at her empty, t

GUTEMBERGI ran my finger down the page of the book one last time, memorizing the final sentence and reflecting on it for a second before saying goodbye to the story.If anyone asks me, I don't like books. A lie I've invented and reinvented several times to erase the memory of an altruistic and loving mother who no longer exists. For the gossip sites, I'm the stripped-down and adventurous heir. For the members and brothers of the faction I'm part of, I'm the shadow, the blade, the Ghost. Most of them don't know where I came from or what my real role is, but they all look for me.But in my room, I'm a lover of contemporary novels. It all started with biographies, then adventure and mystery books, then somehow I stumbled across novels.I rest my head on the pillow and retrieve my cell phone from between the sheets. As soon as it lights up, Midnight's name appears. He wants me to go back to the Hill and deal with his new pet, Aaron Taylor. I say a huge no, because I'm not a bloody babysi
DAVINA I'm so immersed in the conversation with Sissy that I only notice the confusion around me when it's too late. My mom yells at my dad, defending Pryia and blaming him, again, the chaotic news is that he responds with the same intensity. I almost reach for my headphones before she sends him away from the house screaming.In an instant, I jump out of bed and hurry into the living room to avoid a bigger disaster.I'm also reaching my limit with them, it's like my parents have been replaced by beings from another planet. Before Priya left, I don't remember witnessing fights between them, in fact, they barely communicated beyond what was necessary. I think their marriage wasn't going well and my sister's sudden departure was the trigger."What are you doing?" All the neighbors will hear it!"Stay out of it, Davina. My father grumbled, looking disoriented. As I approached him, I realized why. He was drunk, something that was becoming more and more frequent."Your father lost all
