Chapter 16
Late October 1920 — Return to London
James Shelby stepped off the train at Euston Station again —
but this time, he wasn't alone.
Thirty men followed.
Handpicked.
Hard-eyed.
Silent.
Veterans of the War.
Veterans of Birmingham's streets.
Men who knew how to kill without being told twice.
They didn't wear uniforms.
They didn't need to.
The way they moved, the way they watched —
the city already felt it.
A new storm had arrived.
And this time, London had no shelter.
The First Week — Consolidation
James moved with surgical precision.
Sabini's racecourses — taken.
Sabini's betting shops — seized.
Sabini's casinos and pubs — renamed overnight.
Anyone who resisted disappeared quietly.
No messy wars.
No endless blood on the streets.
Just the quiet, ruthless method of a man who didn't believe in second chances.
Money started flowing.
Faster than ever.
Bigger than ever.
London's underworld — decapitated, bleeding — had no choice but to submit.
They bent the knee.
Or they broke.
Simple.
The Sabini Estate — A New Throne
James didn't just want the empire.
He wanted the crown.
The humiliation.
The message.
He bought the Sabini family's great stone mansion outright —
signed the deed with a flick of his pen in front of the remaining London crime lords.
The same men who had once toasted Charles Sabini now bowed their heads.
Some in respect.
Some in terror.
All in defeat.
The estate needed cleaning.
Blood scrubbed from the dining room floor.
New linens.
New locks.
But James didn't erase the past completely.
He left one thing:
A bullet hole in the great oak dining table.
His bullet.
His mark.
He moved in that very night.
Claimed the master bedroom.
Claimed the house.
Claimed London.
Late Night — A Knock at the Door
It was near midnight when they came.
Two girls — no older than 15 or 16 — standing nervously in the grand foyer, escorted by two of James' lieutenants.
Both stunning in different ways:
One with raven-black hair, pale skin, a slit in her dark velvet dress that showed a flash of stockinged thigh.
The other blonde, full lips, wide green eyes, curves poured into a crimson dress two sizes too tight.
Nervous.
Scared.
But trying to hide it behind trembling smiles.
Ellis, one of James' lieutenants, spoke quietly:
> "They're gifts. From Lorenzo Cappi's lot. His way of... showing loyalty, now that you're the king."
He said it like it tasted foul.
James just studied the girls — cold, silent.
The brunette stepped forward, voice soft, accent thick:
> "We are yours, Mr. Shelby."
The blonde nodded, biting her lip, eyes darting between him and the great staircase behind.
James said nothing at first.
He simply turned away and started up the stairs.
After a moment's hesitation, the girls followed — their heels clicking nervously on the marble.
The Master Bedroom — Midnight
The fire was already burning low.
James shrugged off his coat, tossed it over a chair.
He turned and watched as the two girls entered —
hesitant, unsure.
I sat down, gesturing for them to stand before me. "Strip," I commanded, my voice low and gruff. They hesitated, their eyes wide with apprehension, but eventually, they began to undress.
The brunette's body was a work of art, her skin pale and flawless, her breasts full and firm. Her dark nipples stood erect in the cool air, her body trembling slightly as she stood naked before me. The blonde was equally stunning, her body curvy and lush, her breasts full and round, her nipples a soft pink. Her pussy was shaved clean, her lips pink and swollen.
"On your hands and knees," I ordered, my voice low and commanding. They obeyed, crawling towards me, their bodies moving with a feline grace. I unzipped my pants, releasing my cock, already hard and throbbing. Their eyes widened as they took in my size, their lips parting in a gasp.
"You're both virgins, aren't you?" I asked, my voice rough with desire. They nodded, their eyes filled with a mix of fear and excitement. "Good," I growled, "I love breaking in new pussies."
I motioned for the brunette to come closer, her body trembling as she approached. I grabbed her head, guiding her mouth to my cock. She hesitated, her lips parting slightly as she took me in. "That's it," I growled, "take it all." She gagged slightly, her eyes watering as she struggled to take my length.
"Swallow it," I commanded, my voice harsh. She obeyed, her throat constricting around my cock as she swallowed. "Good girl," I praised, my voice filled with lust. I motioned for the blonde to come closer, her body trembling as she approached. I grabbed her head, guiding her mouth to my balls. She hesitated, her tongue flicking out to taste me.
I groaned, my cock twitching in the brunette's mouth. "That's it," I growled, "lick them clean." She obeyed, her tongue lapping at my balls as the brunette continued to suck my cock. I could feel my orgasm building, my body tensing as I reached the edge. "I'm going to cum," I warned, my voice rough with desire.
The brunette continued to suck, her mouth working furiously as I came, my cock twitching as I emptied myself into her mouth. She gagged slightly, swallowing as I pulled out of her mouth. "Good girl," I praised, my voice filled with lust.
I motioned for the blonde to come closer, her body trembling as she approached. I grabbed her hips, lifting her up and positioning her over my cock. She gasped as I entered her, her pussy tight and wet around my cock. I groaned, my hands gripping her hips as I began to fuck her.
She cried out, her body trembling as I fucked her, my cock pounding into her tight pussy. I could feel her orgasm building, her body tensing as she reached the edge. "That's it," I growled, "cum for me." She screamed, her body convulsing as she came, her pussy tightening around my cock.
I pulled out of her, motioning for the brunette to come closer. She obeyed, her body trembling as she approached. I grabbed her hips, lifting her up and positioning her over my cock. She gasped as I entered her, her pussy tight and wet around my cock. I groaned, my hands gripping her hips as I began to fuck her.

I pulled out of her, my cock still hard and throbbing. I motioned for them to come closer, their bodies trembling as they approached. I grabbed their heads, guiding their mouths to my cock. They obeyed, their tongues lapping at my cock as they sucked and licked me clean.
I groaned, my body tensing as I reached the edge. "I'm going to cum," I warned, my voice rough with desire.

"Good girls," I praised,
