Babes Stripping For Love

“Rocco, babe, I’m okay. I’m sorry if we upset you.” Dee wrapped an arm around his back and let him pull her even closer. She felt his lips on her forehead before she felt Rockford move to close the distance between them.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I’m sorry Rocco, I was trying to stretch the time, wanting to know who the stalker is before telling you. But I realized that it was wrong of us to keep it away from you.” Rockford added and he leaned closer, grabbing the back of his neck and latching his lips to Rocco’s.

“You told him?” Rocco asked his girlfriend accusingly. Dee looked guilty but she was not at all surprised by his reaction.

“Before you blame her, I was the one who pushed her to tell me.” Rockford moved back and rested against the console table. He looked at the beautiful couple in front of him and he couldn’t shake the feeling that he had made a terrible mistake. He shouldn’t have followed through with his urges. He should’ve thought with his brain and not his dick.

“Rockford, don’t.” Dee scolded him as she stepped back and released her arms from Rocco.

The man shook his head and took a deep exhale before he kept on going with his confession. “Why don’t we all sit and I will tell you my story. I have told Dee parts, but that’s not all of it.” Rockford waited until his lovers sat down on the living room sofa and he paced in front of them. He was too nervous to take a seat.

When Dee put her hand on Rocco’s thigh to settle him down, Rockford didn’t even hesitate, he wanted them to know. Even when those facts would jeopardize his future happiness. Because he knew that once they knew, there’d be a chance that he was going to lose the two persons he was already falling for.

“I was the VP, vice president, of one of the most notorious biker clubs in the city. We were outlaws and we stayed close to the local cartels. We were a business but also a brotherhood. Back then we worked for local cartels and were getting introduced to the Russian mob that was controlling the city.” Rockford paused trying to read his lovers’ reaction. He had already told Dee about his situation but he was about to tell it in a more detailed manner.

“Everything was going great until we were hitting it big. Money was easy, and jobs were coming in, making us busy bees for the big important mob boss. Then one day, we had a fallout and our men were fighting each other, they were getting greedy and wanting bigger cuts.” Rockford stopped pacing and he wiped his palm to his face as if he was too damn tired. But still, he continued with his story.

“One day our Prez was killed, and I was accused of orchestrating everything. He was my best friend and I was mourning his loss when someone tried to kill me. I was being cast away. Someone wanted me dead.”

Rockford saw the worried expressions in both of his lovers. He took a deep breath, knowing he needed them to know everything. Would the love he has for them make him strong enough to make him walk away from them? And if so, will they be safe after he left? Rockford was not convinced.

“H-how… how can you be sure it’s them? You’ve been working at Babes for years and we didn’t even know.” Rocco asked and Rockford wanted to answer that he didn’t know. Because honestly, he didn’t.

Instead, he says, “I am going to ask a favor from a friend. He was the one who used to own Babes before they sold it to Gage. I have been in contact and still waiting to hear from him.”

“Is everything going to be okay? Will Dee be safe? Will you be okay? Do we need to hide?”

Rockford smiled at him, of course, the sweet man would worry about others before himself. The man pushed the coffee table away and kneeled in front of Rocco, his hand rubbing his knee while his free hand cupped his jaw. “I will keep both of you safe. I’m going to call him and arrange a meeting, but I need both of you to call work and take a couple of days off. I will clear things with Gage and um… I will need you both to prepare a go bag.”

Dee gasped and his hand moved to stroke her cheek. He was getting emotional, and his chest hurt when he realized that he was getting the two persons he now come to love and put them both in danger’s way. He planted the sweetest kiss on her lips before doing the same to Rocco’s.

“I love you, both of you. And I would do anything to keep you safe.” It was a promise and Rockford always keeps his promise. Always.

His lovers were still drowning in their moment, taking in his love declaration when there was a knock on the door. They were both startled by it, but Rockford’s shoulder tensed.

“Stay here. I’ll get that.” Rockford got on his knees, trying to put on a brave face as if it was normal for someone to knock on the apartment door late at night.

“Alec Radley Rockford, my name is Detective Alvarez,” The guy who mentioned his name was wearing civilian clothes, but Rockford recognized a cop when he saw one. He had two cops in uniform flanking his sides. “You are under arrest for the murder of Trenton Williamson, you have the right to remain silent…” The rest of his words flew by Rockford’s ears as he looked back at Dee and Rocco who were looking at him in horror as one of the uniform cops pushed Rockford’s body against the living room wall, patted him down, and took his gun away before the cop roughly put cuffs on his wrists.

“Can I talk to them before I go?”

The detective nodded but stayed near while one of the two uniforms was calling in it. Rockford could hear voices telling whoever was on the other line that they had arrested him and were going to take him back to the police station.

“Rocco, Dee, I will be fine. I need you to pack your bags. I will call my friend and they will keep you safe. I will see you both again, okay?”

“They can’t… they can’t just take you away like this,” Dee was already showing her reluctance in letting him go. Then he saw Rocco’s arm draping her shoulder, pulling her close to him. He kissed her temple when she sobbed, clearly frustrated with the situation and Rockford hated it. He hated seeing her scared for the last couple of days, and now he was being taken away making her panicking even more.

“I will be fine. But I still want both of you to be safe. Promise me you will do as I ask?”

“We will.” It was Rocco who was assuring him and Rockford nodded seconds before one of the uniform officers roughly yanked his arm towards the door telling him his time was up and he could call them from the police station.

And just like that, the quiet night that he was hoping to explain further and put Dee and Rocco at ease was shattered by the cops. Rockford was angry and he was frustrated when they shoved him into the backseat of the police cruiser. Detective Alvarez was getting into his shiny grey SUV and drove off first, leaving the two uniform cops grumbling and slamming the backseat door inches from his face.

Fuck. Rockford cursed on the inside, hoping he would get the chance to call Max sooner than later. The last time he talked to the Russian mob boss, he told him to lay low and he would ask around. So Rockford did, he trusted the man with his life. He just hoped that the man would once again save his life.
