Babes Stripping For Love

Detective Alvarez turned out to be the help that he needed. He was not outing himself to be the go-to guy for the mob boss so the dramatics were needed. “Nope, none of them knows about this.” Alvarez turned off the recording device and uncuffed Rockford’s wrists. “I’m doing a favor for your friend and I’ve looked into your situation. You’re in deep shit man, but I like my town in peace, and having war gangs is not on my bucket list. I really want to stay clear of the aftermath and administrative bullshit.”

Alvarez talked for another five minutes while Rockford listened. He had been good with listening to people over the years. From the way he talked, the overweight cop was just waiting for his promotion and he knew when you do a favor with an important person such as Max, Rockford did not doubt that Alvarez would go far in his career.

“When can I talk to Max?”

Alvarez smirked and gave him his phone.

“I’ll give you half an hour before I’ll release you on bail. One of Max’s lawyers should be here soon. I’ll spin some story about you willing to give us info, knowing the real killer and what really happened.” His smile was cocky when Alvarez walked out f the small interrogation room and locked the door behind him.

Rockford looked at the time, he saw the miscalls on his phone from Rocco. He knew that it was late, so he texted Max saying thank you before calling Gage. Yes, it was safer to call Gage while waiting if Max responded to his text. This was not his plan, he didn’t think that things would escalate quickly. With Rocco’s past trauma, he wanted to be there for his man. Rockford loved them, he was glad that he told them minutes before shit hits the fan.

“About time you called. Max filled me in on your situation. Dee and Rocco are safe with Ivan. He said that Demyan would be waiting for you to take you to them. Don’t bother calling the guy. He’s busy…” Gage’s words barely registered, his mind was busy with the thoughts of his lovers hiding away someplace because he was too dangerous to be around. He should let them be, but then Rockford wanted to be selfish. He wanted happiness for his future.

“Thank you, Gage,”

“No need, we’ve known each other for years, and Dee and Bree are best friends we’re practically family. Maybe a fucked up one, but still, family. And in our family, you don’t get to flee once everything becomes difficult, okay?”

Rockford wanted to roll his eyes. Gage was right, they’re family and he loves each and every one of them. Running away from them was not an option. “I know, I hate that you know me too well. But thanks, Gage.”

“Okay, enough with this heart-to-heart bullshit. Go to the parking lot and find Demyan. He’ll be the guy with the most expensive-looking black SUV.” Rockford finally chuckled at his parting word. He ended the call, put the phone on the table, and waited for Alvarez to get him released as promised.

After his call with Gage, it took another two hours before Alvarez came into the tiny windowless room. “Sorry about the wait, we have to make it convincing.” Yeah, the man didn’t look sorry at all. But Rockford didn’t mind, as long as he got to walk away and reunited with Dee and Rocco.

But before he was released, Alvarez talked about the body of his best friend, Trenton, the Prez of his old biker crew. “Trenton was found under a construction site. Buried under the cement. They were remodeling the place and found him. The patch gives him away. He was sent to the morgue, but we easily recognized his vest and the Prez patch. Tell me, who wants him dead? I need to close this thing before everything blows up in my face.”

Rockford spent the next half an hour explaining to Alvarez about his crew. He kept incriminating information about him and Max to himself. He wasn’t going to trust Alvarez. He knew from experience people would do stupid things for something even more stupid.

“Okay, good. I think I have everything for my team to check out. Keep your phone line open and contact me when you think they’re closing in on you. It’ll be the perfect excuse for us to arrest them. We will deal with the evidence afterward.” The detective said with a cold smile on his face.

Rockford didn’t have to imagine what he referred to by dealing with evidence. He was not as young and stupid as he was once before. He knew cops had ways of making sure everything was adding up for an arrest.

When they were finally done, Rockford was too damn tired. Alvarez let him leave through the side door after a lawyer whom Max had sent for him dealt with his paperwork and legal stuff. Gage was right, someone who introduced himself as Demyan led him to his car. Rockford needed to thank the mob boss after everything’s settled down.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Where are we going?” Rockford asked after he buckled in and Demyan drove them towards their destination.

“Up the mountains, big boss has a nice Villa up there. I will stay with you guys and Ivan will go back to his post.”

“Thanks, and do you know how long we’re going to stay there?”

Demyan shrugged before telling Rockford that they would stay as long as they needed to. The rest of the ride up was spent in silence. Rockford worried about Dee and Rocco and he hated the fact that his love declaration was met in such a dreadful situation.

“Why don’t you go in, I’m going to go to town to get more supplies. Ivan had texted me earlier. Tell him I’ll be back in an hour.”

Demyan dropped him off in the driveway of the beautiful mountain villa. The front door opened and a man introduced himself as Ivan welcomed Rockford inside. He didn’t have the chance to talk to the man when he saw Rocco in the kitchen fussing with the coffee machine.

“Rockford!” It was Dee’s surprise gasp that alerted his man and Rocco moved from behind the kitchen counter to hug him.

“Um… I really need to shower,”

“And a good rest, have you had any sleep yet?” Dee hugged him anyway and planted a chaste kiss on his lips.

“A few hours here and there, I’ll be fine. I just need to shower and change. Um, are there any clean clothes around?”

“You can wear mine,” Rocco leaned in and kissed his cheek, then resting his hand on his chest. Ivan looked at them without judgment, Rockford would even say that the man looked bored out of his mind. Rockford was led into a bedroom, Dee was quick to sit on the edge of the bed while Rocco went to get clean clothes for Rockford.

“Go shower, then you can tell us everything.” Rocco gave him his clothes before joining Dee on the bed, resting his arm around her shoulder. It was such a perfect view, Rockford thought to himself.

A nice hot shower, a change of clean clothes, and a cup of steaming hot coffee later, Rockford joined his lovers. His back was to headboard, his sides flanked by Dee and Rocco.

“How are you two holding up?”

“We’re fine,” Rocco answered a bit too quickly.

“No, you’re not. He had a nightmare. Screaming, making Ivan burst with guns into the room and me tumbling down the bed.” Dee huffed in annoyance, Rockford shouldn’t have laughed but he could totally imagine the scene. “Sorry, I should be more sensitive.”

“No, you’re not.” Rocco practically rolled his eyes. That man is a ray of sunshine even on his bad days he would never be mad at anyone, and most importantly he would never get mad at his girlfriend. “But, let us forget everything for a few moments and get back to when you said that you love us.” Rocco put his empty cup on the bedside table and rested his hand on Rockford’s hard abs. Dee was on his other side, caressing his thigh mindlessly while her cheek was to his shoulder.

“Anyway, we love you too and we were so fucking worried for you.” Dee snuggled in closer and Rockford sighed, resting his hands over Dee’s thigh and Rocco’s.

Rockford started telling them about Detective Alvarez and how he surprised him when he told Rockford that he was doing a favor for Max when the body of his late best friend was found.

“He’s going to keep me updated on the case. But since I know about what happened, it’s important to keep me alive and I’m sorry Dee you have a tail on you. I managed to ask Alvarez about it and he confirmed it, showing me the CCTV footage. The crew must’ve thought we were together, they have been following me. God… I’m so glad you trusted your instincts.”

Rockford felt Dee relaxed beside him, but Rocco abruptly got up. The man looked pale when he told Rockford that he needed some air. “I… I’m just going to go to sit in the backyard.” He briskly commented before walking out of the bedroom.

“He’s been restless, I think he barely slept after the nightmare. Go to him. I’ll prepare you a sandwich, you must be hungry.”

Rockford was hungry, but at the moment his mind was on his sexy bartender. Dee had told him bits of pieces of what happened to Rocco in the past. But Rockford thinks that it was the rated version because looking at his fragile state he knew something bad had consumed his mind and Rockford did not like it one bit.
