Cairo - The Kat Trap

Dear Reader:

There is only one word to describe this book: Hot! Cairo has exploded onto the scene with one of the hottest, engaging, realistic, street novels to date. Kat is an assassin but she is also a complex woman. Having been raised by a single mother, she learned early that her cat was the only thing men were truly interested in. So she decided to use it to her advantage and now she makes her living killing men at the exact moment that most men would yearn to die: while inside of her Kat Trap.

The sex scenes in this book are on fire, the storyline is incredible, and the relationships between Kat, her mother, her aunts, her friends, and her lovers are all clearly drawn out. You will not be able to put this book down. Cairo is the writer to be watched and the next book, entitled The Man Handler is coming your way soon.

Id like to thank the following special people who helped make The Kat Trap a reality:

My agent, Sara Camilli; my publisher, Zane; Charmaine Parker, Navorneditor extraordinaire, and a very special thanks to my publicist, Yona Deshommes. I appreciate all of you for being a part of this literary adventure.

Cairo

They say the closest ones to ya are the same ones wholl sneak up behind ya and stick the knife through ya. Sleepin on me is your biggest mistake. Close ya eyes, and yall find yaself in a river of blood. One for the money, one for the nut, one bullet to the skullnigga, what?!

My name is Katrina, Kat for short. Voluptuous, vivacious, and viciousat five-feet-eight, a buck-twenty-five, Im that bitch. Be clear. Fine, fly, and fabulous with a wicked brain game and a fat, wet, deep pussy so good it makes a nigga shake the minute I wrap my walls around his dick. Im that chick with the small waist and the Hottentot Venus ass: big, round, and juicy. The kinda ass that makes a niggas jaw drop and his neck snap every time I walk past. Niggas love it when I make my bootie bounce, shake, and clap for em. With my cinnamon skin, shoulder-length hair, thick lashes wrapped around chinky eyes, I am a hood goddess. Im that chick the bitches bow down to, and niggas worship. I was born and bred in Brooklyn, a product of one of the most notorious housing projects known for drugs and murders. If youre an uninvited or unwanted guest, beware. You might get in, but you comin out either slashed up, beat down, or bodied.

Ima keep it real cute for ya. Aint shit sweet bout life on the compoundthe hood, the concrete jungle. Its ruthless. Game recognizes game. And ya either learn to play hard or get played. Ya either eat or be eaten. Its that simple. Make no mistake: The hood dont give a fuck bout you or the next chick. And it definitely aint beat for what the next niggas into. You either handle ya business or get handled. Aint no way round it. I aint tryna make excuses. It is what it is. I learned how to handle mine without sellin my ass, or suckin a string of dicks in alleyways or up on somebodys rooftop. I studied the game, watched its playas, and mastered the rules without stuntin on the next bitch, or hustlin a nigga off his grip. I aint have to claw or scheme my way up to nobodys top. Im from Brooklyn, baby! I kicked open the muhfuckin door of opportunity, smashed out its windows, and fuckin snatched my spot cause Im that bitch.

So, if ya lookin to hear me spit some whack-ass story bout some fast-assed little ho from the hood stretched out on a pissy mattress in shit-stained panties, eating dry-ass cereal out of a dirty-assed plastic bowl watching cartoons on a busted-ass black-and-white TV while counting roaches, then you got the wrong one. If ya wanna hear bout a bitch goin hungry cause her moms sold her food stamps to get high, nopenot gonna get it. If ya lookin to hear bout some young chick who got her ass beat with extension cords, razor straps, and switches because she was too hot in the ass, then ya might as well step now, cause that aint what Im here to serve ya. Yeah, we had roaches, okaywho didnt? But I never got my ass beat, always had food to eat, and I aint never laid around on no pissy-assed mattress.

Uh, yeah, a bitch was born poor. Yeah, my moms was clockin welfare, and? Her ass still worked, though. And she gave me what she thought I needed, whichoutside of food and a roof over my headwas close to nothin. Fuck what I wanted. No, she wasnt on crack or dope or a fuckin drunk. Maybe she shoulda been. But I cant give ya no fucked-up tales of watchin her smoke up, shoot up, or snort up. And I cant tell ya jack bout no tricks or johns runnin up in her pussy all hours of the day and night. Sellin her ass wasnt her thing. Yeah, she went through men like water, and moved one in after the otherokay, and? Thats her story, not mine. She did her thing, and I learned to do mine.

Yeah, I knewuh, I mean, know, who the fuck my father was/is, so? It aint like the nigga ever did anything for me. Besides hustlin and robbin niggas, the only good thing he ever did was donate his nut to my moms, a half-Spanish, half-black chick who spit me outta her hairy pussy when she was sixteen. Other than that, goin in and out of prison and breakin my moms heart was the only thing his sorry ass was good for. Be clear. I aint hatin on dude. He was a street nigga who tried to get in where he fit in. From breakin into cars to burglaries to drug dealin to numerous parole violations to runnin with known felons to fuckin any unsuspectin trick willin to spread open her legs and her wallet, he was a rebel, down for whateva.

The hood raised him. Bitches praised him. And the streets and pussy were what turned their backs on him when his black ass got popped fifteen years ago. Now he was on lock for another ten years for an aggravated assault he didnt commit, and drug charges for shit that wasnt his. But the nigga aint a snitch. Turnin states evidence on his niggas was outta the question. Thats the code he lived by, and one hed proudly die by. Thats how the real niggas get down. So fuck what ya heard bout me needin him. A bitch cant miss what she never had! Other than sharin the same DNA, the only thing dude and I will ever have in common is our love for the benjamins. Believe that!
