The Prince of Punk Rock (62 page)

Jessi and Tommy were sitting on
either side of him, staring at him, filled with worry.
 
Jessi held a wet cloth to his head, while
Tommy’s strong arm supported him and offered a glass of water.

“It’s over.”
 
Angel’s voice cracked.
 
“I’m done.
 
I’m sorry.
 
It’s all my fault.
 
I ruined everything for us.
 
I’m so sorry.”

Jessi shook his arm a little.
 
“Hey,” she said, softly.
 
“We’ll figure it out.
 
Don’t get upset.
 
I’ll find a way to fix it.
 
I promise.”

“You can’t fix it.
 
Maybe we should just give her what she
wants.
 
Let her be a background dancer or
something.”

“Yeah,” Jessi smirked, “and maybe
we should let her fuck Tommy, too.”

“It’s not funny.”

He was quiet for a long time while
he desperately tried to figure out a way to salvage their record deal.
 
Jessi patted his leg to get his
attention.
 
“I want to make something
perfectly clear to the both of you.
 
You
shouldn’t have kept this from me, and we
will
deal with it later.
 
Right now, that’s not what’s important.
 
Right now, I need to take care of
Kendall
– once and for all.”

Chapter Fifty

Jessi
knocked on
Kendall
’s hotel room door.

“What are
you doing here?”
 
Kendall
looked down the hallway.
 
“Where’s
Angel?”

“Angel’s
not here.
 
I wanted to talk to you
alone.
 
Are you going to let me in?
 
I’m not going to talk out in the hallway.”

Kendall
hesitated before opening the door.
 
“What
do you want? And make it fast.
 
I don’t
want you here.”

“Believe
me,” Jessi glanced at the messy hotel room, “I don’t want to be here a minute
longer than necessary.
 
I want the DVD.”

“There’s
only one way you’re getting it and that’s when I’m on stage, performing with
the band, and getting my share of the profits.”

Jessi
pressed her lips together and shook her head.
 
“Not going to happen.
 
Let’s be
realistic,
Kendall
.
 
You being part of the band would only be its
downfall.
 
I’ve seen you perform.”

“If you
came here to insult me, you can leave.
 
I
don’t have to put up with this bullshit.”

“I’m not here to insult you.
 
I’m just being truthful.”
 
Jessi paused.
 
It was more for dramatic effect, but she needed to take a deep breath to
control her hostility, and her anger.
 
She needed to be calm and collected.
 
And it took every ounce of strength she had to do so.
 
“Look, I’m a smart business woman.
 
I managed Tommy for five years before he met
Angel, and I’ve learned a lot working by Angel’s side.
 
I’m not leaving here without that DVD.
 
What do you want?
 
What do I need to give you, in order for you
to hand it over?”
 
Jessi held her hand up
and rubbed her thumb and index fingers together – the international sign for
money.

A light
when on behind
Kendall
’s eyes and it didn’t
take her long to reply.
 
“I want
$2,000,000.
 
I’ll give you all the copies
of the DVD, and I’ll go away.
 
You’ll
never hear from me again.
 
I’ll forget I
ever heard of Immortal Angel, if you give me $2,000,000.”

Jessi
smiled sarcastically.
 
“Don’t be
ridiculous.
 
We don’t have $2,000,000,
Kendall
.”

“Oh
really?
 
Because I heard you got a
multimillion dollar record deal.”

“Look at
us. Do we look like we have millions of dollars?
 
Besides, the deal was for the entire band,
not just Angel.”

“Well,
get it from them, then.
 
I want
$2,000,000.
 
That’s my price.”

“I can’t
do it.
 
It’s too high.”
 
She tapped her finger against her chin,
pretending to contemplate a number.
 
“Maybe, if Jimmy and Damien were to agree to kick in some money, we
could come up with . . . mmmm . . . $1,000,000.
 
Maybe.
 
But that would be the
absolute most, not a penny more.”

“I’ll
take it. You have 24 hours to get the money.”

Kendall
didn’t even hesitate.
 
She fell right
into Jessi’s hands.
 
Jessi was grinning
on the inside, but on the outside, she remained wary. “What guarantee do I have
that you’re not going to extort more money from us?  That’s a lot of money
to hand over.”

“I won’t
need to extort any more money from you.  As long as you pay me $1,000,000,
I won’t broadcast Angel and Tommy’s sex tape all over the internet.  I’m
not going to blackmail Angel with anything else.  You give me $1,000,000,
I give you the DVD.  It’s that simple.”

Jessi
pursed her lips to the side, folded her arms and tapped her foot. 
“OK.  But how do I know you’ll leave us alone?
 
I don’t want you harassing us anymore.”

“Like I
said, you’ll never see me again.  I’ll leave town.  Just as soon
as I get the money.  I can live very nicely on a million dollars.”

Jessi
tried to express defeat by letting out a long sigh.  “OK, but I want one
copy, right now.  I’m not leaving without it.”

“Why?
What for?”

It was
the first intelligent thing
Kendall
said.  “I want it as a sign of good faith.
 
I’ll show some, too.” Jessi pulled an envelope out of her bag.
 
“Here’s $200.
 
I’ll be back in a few hours with the rest.”

When she
got back to the hotel room at Chateau Marmont, Tommy and Angel weren’t
there.
 
Maybe they were down by the pool
trying to relax.
 
They were upset that
she wanted to confront
Kendall
alone, but it
was a necessary part of her plan.

She took
the DVD from her bag and stared at it.
 
The reality that Tommy and Angel were sneaking around, doing God knows
what, started to unravel her.
 
She had no
idea what they did behind her back, but this little DVD would tell her
everything.

It took a
few seconds to load, then it opened up onto the computer screen.
 
Tommy was face down on the bed, naked.
 
His hands were cuffed to the headboard and he
struggled to get free.
 
He had a ball gag
in his mouth.  It looked invasive and suffocating.
 
She shuddered and her hand went to her mouth.

Angel
came into view wearing nothing except a pair of black leather chaps, with his
ass cheeks hanging out the back and his dick standing at attention.  He
had a small whip in his hand. It was a cat o’ nine tails.
 
He let it skip down Tommy’s back, and tickled
him with it.
 
He lightly let the tips of
the leather hit Tommy’s flesh.
 
The next
strike was a little harder. By the time the third blow hit Tommy’s baby-soft
skin, Angel was no longer holding back.
 
He repeatedly whipped Tommy’s bottom.
  
Angry red welts raised on Tommy’s bare flesh with each sadistic
blow.
 
Tommy struggled and cried out, but
the ball gag in his mouth muffled his pleas. It was brutal.
 
Jessi pressed both hands over her lips to
suppress her cries, but nothing stopped the tears from pouring down her cheeks
or the anger that burned inside her heart.

Angel
tossed the flogger aside, knelt between Tommy’s legs and pulled him up on his
knees.
 
He squeezed out a generous amount
of lube and shoved two fingers deep into Tommy’s ass.
 
Tommy lurched, but Angel didn’t slow his
hand.
 
He moved it in and out and then in
a circular motion, opening Tommy’s bottom wider with each repetition.

Angel
pulled his hand out and Tommy whimpered.
 
His body went limp, and he hung lifeless by the handcuffs that shackled
him to the headboard.

Angel
produced a rubber dildo.
 
It was the size
of his forearm.
 
He covered it with lube
and tried to insert it in Tommy’s ass, but it didn’t fit.
 
Tommy squired and let out a shriek.
 
Angel shoved his fingers back inside and
twisted them around before attempting to reinsert the dildo.
 
This time it went in, but not very deep.
 
Tommy’s yelping turned to moans as the dildo
was repeatedly thrust into his bottom.
 
As soon as Tommy started to enjoy it, Angel pulled it out and threw it
across the room.

Angel
returned his fingers to Tommy’s butt, this time all four of them.
 
After a few probing twists, Angel’s hand
disappeared inside Tommy.
 
He pushed
deeper and then retracted his fist, thrusting it repeatedly until he was arm
deep inside of Tommy.
 
Tommy struggled
and writhed on the bed.
 
A few more
punishing thrusts and Angel removed his arm and wiped it down with a towel.

Tommy was
on his knees again and Angel shoved himself inside. Tommy let out a surprised,
painful scream.
 
Angel grabbed the back
of Tommy’s hair – his beautiful long golden tresses – and wrapped it around his
hand.
 
He held the length of Tommy’s hair
in his fist while he started pumping, fast hard thrusts, almost knocking Tommy
down on the bed.

Jessi
closed the laptop.
 
She didn’t want to
see anymore.
 
She was still wiping the
tears from her cheeks when Tommy and Angel entered the suite.
 
They didn’t know she was in the hotel room,
and they lingered in the vestibule just inside the door.
 
They were expressing their concern about
letting her negotiate with
Kendall
.
 
Angel was sweet and sympathetic.
 
He expressed remorse about the DVD.
 
That was the Angel she knew and loved.
 
She didn’t recognize the savage animal she
just saw on the video who practically molested Tommy. And it took place in
their
bed.
 
A vessel that housed their
intense love was now tainted with violence.
