Tony B. is the unofficial number two in the Latin Lovers gang in Brooklyn, NY. He gained the rank and the respect it held because he had known his leader Rickey since grade school and they were best friends. For a long time Tony had been thinking he was over the whole gang thing and started to think about what his future held. One night Rickey told Tony that a few of the LL came to him with their concerns about why Tony would go missing in action and no one would know where he was for days. He took the opportunity to tell him he wanted out of the gang to pursue a future with the woman he loved. Rickey wished him well and told him he'd tell the rest of the gang at the meeting in the morning. Just when Tony thought all was well he was running for his very life, what about the woman he loved? Would she make a run for it or stay by her man? Excerpt Tony entered the small building just off Ocean Avenue and walked up to the second floor. He used his key to let himself in and walked normally across the living room knowing he wouldn't wake her. A train went by rumbling all the pictures on the walls, but that wouldn't wake her either. She was used to that type of noise, having lived in Brighton Beach for a few years now. He knew she was already sleeping; she had an early class in the morning, but she had left the chain off the door for him when he told her he would come by later. He walked into the bedroom where he stripped out of his clothes and slid into bed with her. A smile came to his lips as his hands glided over her dark silky skin that reminded him of black satin. The thought made him chuckle because when they first started dating he had mentioned that the softness of her skin had to be as soft as angel wings. She had jokingly replied that the only angel wings she had ever seen were white and she was far from that. From that day forward he referred to her as his Angel and her skin was more like black satin. She always slept naked when she knew he would be over. He loved that and here lately that was all the time. His hands moved over her shoulders and down her arm…beautiful. He moved off her arm to her waist and over her full hips to her thick thighs…uh, uh, uh. His hand gently fell over her hip so he could grip her firm bottom and he wondered again why this fine ass woman wanted to be with him. He sighed and moved closer to her kissing her shoulder. I guess it doesn't matter why, only that she did. Finally his life was going in the right direction and he should just stop questioning it and go along for the ride.
