He held his hands out. “Isn’t that what we do?”
I wanted to cry with frustration. I shook my head, looking into the traffic, the noise, the bedlam we had more than embraced. We’d gotten on the cliff of normalcy and jumped into the chaos face first. Of course, that was what we did. I couldn’t deny it anymore.
“I don’t want to,” I said.
“He’s your brother.”
“And damn him for it.”
Antonio kissed me slowly in the fetid heat, and I tasted the sweat of his cheek, the beer on his tongue. His lips were a promise, a blood bond, a kiss of greeting and good-bye, and the years in between.
“I won’t let anything happen to you, Capo,” I said.
“I know.”
“Are you sure about this?”
“Yes.” He sighed and looked up, as if seeing the narrow street for the first time. “I smell the beach.”
“Let’s walk on it,” I said. “We can decide what to do together.”
He slipped his arm around my neck, and we walked to the end of the block. The beach was a right turn and a few blocks away. We traversed it three times before our plan was set, and then, as if it was our job to dive headfirst into chaos and ruin, we began.
Fine, per adesso.

Though the Downtown Gate Club is a figment of my imagination, there are tunnels under Downtown Los Angeles. Because they are closed to the public, I went to the tunnels in Pendleton, Oregon for my research. My LA underground is based on those. Any actual differences with the actual LA tunnels are just too damn bad. I do my best with what I’ve got.

Fiona Drazen's life as a celebutante and submissive slave in
The Perdition Series
starts with
KICK
,
and continues with book two,
USE
.
You know what a celebutante is. It's a Paris Hilton. A Kim Kardashian. Someone who's famous for existing. That's me, and in case you were wondering what it's like...trust me, it's the best shit ever.
I like coke and I like sex. I have the money to buy the first and the looks to get the second. No one needs to know where I am for days at a time and no one gives a fuck. That's just the way I like it.
You got issue with that?
Good.
Because you think I have problems, and I don't. A problem would be defined as some situation in my life I didn't arrange. Like having no money. That's a problem, and I don't have it. Like having a ton of sex I don't totally enjoy. Also not my problem.
Now that we understand each other, you and me, and we understand that my life is exactly how I want it, you have to know that you don't have the right to hold me here.
Right?
Right.

Gabri Canova helped with the Italian phrasing in the story. Thank you, Goddess.
Erik Gevers did the formatting, yet again making me look like a pro.
My family tolerates me, and I love them so much. D-Sleepy, A-Bomb, Lady Nono.
