• the black Cadillac above •

Katie's green eyes watch the different buildings as the black Cadillac passes by them. Lane had forced the girls to ride with the men while Axel personally drove the gang leader and Katie ahead.

"You're not wearing your hair up." Lane's voice surprises Katie.

Neither had spoke since they left the warehouse. Katie continues to blink, unsure how to respond.

"You noticed." Katie blushes, softly nodding.

"You look better with it up." Lane states, not looking at her.

Katie's face scrunches with confusion. "Thank you?"

"I know you're trying your hardest to be nice and all, but here's the truth" Lane turns to her, his blue eyes full of annoyance "I kill people for a living. I laundry money for a living. Hell, I have the boys smuggle drugs across Canada's boarders for a living."

Katie continues to give him a confused look. He purses his lips at her confusion, his eyes rolling.

"Don't be too nice for my account." Lane spits out, "I have a reputation to keep."

"Are you only keeping me alive and giving me some type of 'power' because you after my Uncle's money?" Katie quotes the word power with her hands.

Lane freezes at her words.

"Because if you are, you're wasting your time." Katie shakes her head at him, "Uncle Gail's fortune is being left to his apprentice...he hated me."

Lane slowly turns to her, looking her up and down. Katie continues as the gang leader listens intensely.

"I'm useless to you." Katie looks to the floor, continuing to talk. "You can give my clothes to the girls. I'll walk to the next bus station."

Katie starts to grab the car door handle but Lane firmly grabs her bicep. He jerks her back to him, making the blonde gasp loudly. The gang leaders blue eyes are deadly. He continues to hold her close to him.

"Don't you ever fucking dare try that shit again!" Lane spots in Katie's face, making her tear up. "Do you hear me? Don't you fucking dare!"

"What do you want with me!" Katie cries out, her eyes closing.

Suddenly, Katie is straddling Lane's lap. His firm hands grasps her thighs as his lips have a firm hold on hers. Katie slowly processes everything that happens. When the blonde realizes that Lane has his lips on hers, she softly kisses him back. The gang leaders hands run up and down her back, feeling her soft pink button up sweater. Lane lets out animal like moans as he continues to deepen the kiss. Katie sighs into the kiss and holds his smooth face in her small hands.

Lane forcefully stops himself and shoves Katie off his lap into the seat beside him. The two heavily pant. Lane takes out a handkerchief and wipes his sweating brow.

Katie begins to lean in once again, feeling the need for his embrace once again. The sharp look in Lane's eyes makes the virgin blonde freeze. Katie sits up straight in her seat, looking back out the window.

"Was that a goodbye kiss?" Katie wonders out loud.

"That was animal compulsion." Lane answers without looking at her.

Katie looks back to him, noticing the lipstick stain on his lips. "You have lipstick on your face."

Lane looks at rear view mirror and wipes the lipstick off his lips with his handkerchief. He heavily sighs as he sits back. Katie doesn't look at him, hurt by being rejected by him after he had his taste of her.

He must have not liked how I tasted. Katie bites the inside of her cheek.

Lane reaches inside of his shirt and takes the small key with the silver chain off. The blonde tries not to look at him as he does this. The gang leader looks down at the key, rubbing his thumb over it.

The gang leader places the necklace in Katie's hands. She gives him a confused look. He holds a hand up to stop her from speaking.

"If you ever misplace it, I will be very angry." Lane doesn't look at her as he speaks, "So keep it safe for me."
