"Maybe you'd agree to join us a little later?" Keisha smiled at Larry.
"KK." Lyra said hesitantly. "Larry doesn't..."
"But I want to play with him tonight." Keisha pouted as she faced her then craned her neck to kiss Lyra's ear.

'Keisha's not ready my ass, she's more devious than I am.' Lyra thought.

Lyra slightly frowned down at Keisha as she pulled Lyra flush to her. Sin and Suga smiled as they moved closer to Lyra.
"You found a nice one." Suga bit her lip as she looked Larry up and down.
"Mhmm, very good choice. He looks... energetic." Sin winked at Larry as Keisha placed a hand on Larry's chest.
Lyra whispered in Keisha's ear.

"Gasp. Make a horrified face. Look at Larry then whisper to the girl beside you to do the same." Lyra then moved away. Keisha gasped then immediately told Sin, who told Suga and so on.

Larry and his friends watched the game of telephone as it spread to every girl in the little circle.
Keisha pouted as she stepped back and made sad eyes at Lyra.

"Aw, don't make that face." Lyra cooed as she touched her cheek softly and ran her thumb across her bottom lip. Sin and Suga mimicked Keisha's pleading expression. Keisha whispered in Lyra's ear, "Look at his face."

Lyra lowered her head, "I guess I can deal with being blindfolded and tied up again." Lyra whined and pouted at Keisha.

Keisha sighed and shook her head no, as Suga and Sin hugged Lyra.

"You don't have to make yourself uncomfortable just for us." Keisha squeezed Lyra's hand. "Say bye to Larry babies."
"Bye Larry." A chorus of females replied. All the girls in the circle walked away.
"Liar!" Larry yelled angrily. "What you say?"

Larry's friends expressions were a mixture between upset, confused and embarrassed. Larry looked around in shock that all the girls had disappeared. Every girl he spoke to suddenly wasn't interested and walked away even Candy threw a drink in his face after calling him a sicko freak.

Dominic finally asked Larry, "What did you do to King's Queen?"
"Who?" Larry asked.
"The one you blindfolded is King's Queen." Dominic replied.
"Fuck that bihh! She always taking something from me!" Larry's voice carried as the music died down.

"What bitch?" Gabby asked.
"He didn't mean anything." Dominic replied quickly trying to shut Larry up. "We don't want no trouble, big man."
"What? I try to have fun, make friends and that dumb bihh come over and ruin everything!" Larry glared at Lyra holding Keisha back.
"The only dumb bitch here is you!" Keisha laughed.

Before Larry could respond, he was yanked up off his feet by Wall.

"Take! Him! Outside!" Lyra yelled making Gabby growl angrily. Wall carried Larry out the club.

Keisha leaned on Lyra's shoulder whispering in her ear.

"He's cute when he's angry. And you're dating his twin?" Keisha smiled.
"No, not anymore." Lyra turned her gaze to Keisha.
"Did you love him?" Keisha asked.
"I still care for him. But he-" Lyra sighed.
"He doesn't care?" Keisha said.
"He does, I mean he said he-" Lyra shook her head. "It doesn't matter. I'm dating a nice Italian gentleman."
"Who rocks your world?" Keisha smiled excitedly.
"KK!" Lyra leaned back.
"Don't KK me, looking at your face, I can see he doesn't." Keisha frowned.
"He treats me well, buys me things, takes good care of me, and he's always feeds me delicious food. He compliments my looks..." Lyra tried to sound convincing.
"Oh? I didn't know you aspired to be a pampered poodle." Keisha replied seeing right through her. "All that stuff is nice but you never needed a guy to take care of you. Is he bad in bed? Can't you teach him too?"
"I- wow, uh" Lyra's mouth dropped open, the only guy she taught anything was King. Lyra scowled at him for rubbing their past in his wife's face.

"Relax, I found out years ago when his sister told me the stories of her hearing you, uh, directing him to the sweet spot." Keisha smiled.
"Oh, kill me now." Lyra covered her face at the memories of Alexis King's knowing looks afterwards. "No KK, it's not that. I- he uh..." Keisha raised an eyebrow at Lyra's flustered response. "We haven't had sex yet." Lyra finally admitted.
"Why not?" She was surprised.
"He says it's because he knows I'm not over my ex, but we also haven't been together long." Lyra sighed.
Keisha nodded, "Do you want him back? Your ex?"
"Doesn't matter what I want, I can't keep beating up his twin." Lyra rolled her eyes.
"So find another way, you love this Laurent or you never would have called Dro to help. I see pain in your eyes, why?" Keisha raised her eyebrow.
"He was almost killed because of me. It doesn't matter how I feel, it is my responsibility to save him and keep that from happening again." Lyra rebutted.
"If that helps you sleep better. I won't poke holes." Keisha smirked.
"Speaking of sleeping better, I think you're ready to be King's Queen." Lyra said seriously to Keisha.
"But you're the leader." Keisha rebutted.
"How am I doing that from across the world? Besides you are King's wife and you are respected member of our family. It's time you took your place by his side." Lyra said placing her hand on Keisha's hand.

"Between Dro and my baby my hands are already full." Keisha shook her head.
"Gabby, Sin and Suga will help you get used to it slowly. If it helps you, I looked at the members as puppies. Have the guard correct them when they mess up and train them to do better. All you have to do is be a good leader." Lyra smiled. "But you don't have to emulate me. Be yourself and the Guards will have your back." Lyra smiled.
"It's not that easy, Gabby-" Keisha hedged.
"Yes. It really is. Gabby has been waiting for you to say the words." Lyra encouraged.
"I don't think King would like it." Keisha frowned.
"He will accept it because he could never deny you anything you say you want. Your child is proof." Lyra quickly answered then hugged Keisha. "He loves you more than me. And I love you more than him." Lyra kissed her hands, "Don't forget that."

~~~

"I am ready to take my place as King's Queen." Keisha announced to everyone there. King hugged her then kissed her passionately. Lyra smiled.
"Protect and respect her. Gabby." Lyra threatened him narrowed her gaze at him.
"Queen, I know you will be a great leader but don't be afraid to ask for help." Lyra whispered then kissed Keisha's cheek.

Sin whispered in Lyra's ear and Lyra started following her.

"Why did you do that? I told you, she doesn't have it in her." King said harshly pulling her to face him.
"Oh believe me she does, she just needs to feel the support of her King and her guards. Now, let go I have other business to handle." Lyra followed Sin to a car where Larry was waiting.

"Larry." Lyra greeted him calmly. Larry glared at her sitting next to him. She smiled and removed her tiara.

"I have a good time here before you show up." Larry complained.
"Allow me to ask a few questions." Lyra looked directly into Larry's eyes. "It's okay if you don't have the answers."

"Did you know almost everyone in that club is a murder?" Lyra asked and Larry rolled his eyes. "Did you know their leader is a woman called King's Queen? And everyone there was at her club tonight celebrating her birth?"
Larry scoffed, "I no care." Lyra nodded.
"Did you know your brother collapsed at her house, 10 hours and 25 minutes ago, after being given a deadly poison by someone who has a grudge against King's Queen?" Lyra watched Larry's eyes fill with realization, horror and worry.
"Y-you lie!" Larry forced out, his eyes bore into her. Lyra handed him a copy of Laurent's lab results and a blurb about Ricin.

"M-my brother die?" He threw the papers at Lyra. "This you fault! Y-you bitch! I kill you!" He lunged at her but she knocked him back in his seat.
"Down boy," Lyra replied. "I only have a few more things to say." Lyra said calmly as he slowly slumped his shoulders. "I am on my way to see the person responsible for poisoning your brother, while you are on your way back to your brother."

"How much time left?" Larry asked.
"By the time you get there? Worst case about 13 hours, best case about 2 days." She answered.
