Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 70: Jennifer
Intellectually, Jennifer knew she was damaged. That normal people didn't think or feel like she did. It made sense that she might heal past all of this someday, but she didn't see how."Jennifer?""Hm?""Answer me two questions?""Okay." She set her fork down, giving up the pretense of eating the cheesecake."Do you enjoy my company? Like today?"Her insides flooded with warmth. At every turn, he'd been attentive. They'd laughed. She'd never felt...special. Not like that. But it was more. He was easy to talk to about everything. Their youth. Combat history. The demons they'd brought back with them. They had a lot more in common than she'd ever realized."Yes," she finally said."Are you attracted to me?"She snorted at that question. It was the most ridiculous thing he could ask. "I'm pretty sure a heterosexual woman would have to be blind to not be attracted to you on sight. And even then, she'd hear you and would be done for."His gaze dropped to her mouth. "Oh, y

Thursday. Luxe Ibiza Hostel, Cala Gració, Ibiza.ORION KNEW JENNIFER WASN'T asking how she began disappointing him. Her mind had moved down another path in the silence. One that he prayed meant opening doors to a possibility she had been closed to.He lifted a hand, smoothing her hair back even though there wasn't anything for him to adjust. There was pleasure in the act of touching her.Orion felt as though the small thing he'd spent the last few years nurturing suddenly sprang up, dwarfing him. The way Jennifer stared at him now, he felt as though he could see into her soul. Even earlier on the boat, she hadn't been this open to him. He didn't know what had changed or if he'd finally said the right thing to make her see the real him, but he was humbled.Did he deserve this?No.What he said and did mattered right now.They were balanced on the brink of something new. Something that scared her.He wanted her to make the choice to walk into it together. Not tip her o

Orion turned and his mouth went dry.She wasn't wearing a stitch of clothing.He almost mourned the pleasure of watching her strip. Almost. Seeing her was the very best thing. She was all long lines, lean muscle and soft curves.She grasped the condom packet and slowly tore it open.His dick had never been so hard in his life."You're still dressed," she said with a smirk."Easily rectified."Orion yanked on his belt, then shoved both shorts and underwear to the floor. He flowed from that, scooped her up and tossed her onto the bed. Jennifer yelped, the sound turning into a laugh. He pounced, caging her under him.Her eyes sparkled with lust and enthusiasm.She was so damn pretty."Now I'm not," he whispered and leaned down.Her palm flattened against his chest and slid down. "Oh, I approve."He watched her hand, thinking any moment she'd stop. Instead, his tongue nearly rolled back into his throat when her fingertips touched the base of his cock. She wrapped he

Friday. Café Brazil. Playa d'en Bossa, Ibiza.JENNIFER STARED AT HER phone screen. She found comfort in watching the little gray dots at the bottom of the window rather than the scenery fly by.Orion had opted to drive them to Bain's meeting location. She was grateful, though she didn't know how to say that. He'd seemed pleased by her easy acceptance, as though he'd expected her to push back.Merida: You are oh-so-cruelMerida: Do you know what time it is?Jennifer did the math.Ten in the morning here on Ibiza was... One in the morning in Seattle.Prudence: Stop complaining.Prudence: We all waited up for this.Sage: SPILLJennifer glanced at Orion. He didn't look at her, but he did reach over and place his hand on her thigh. She shifted, tilting her knees toward him.His touch was comforting. Pleasant. And right now, she needed that.Sage: We are waiting.Haley: Some of us were asleep.Haley: What's going on?Sage: Jennifer and Orion bo

"Sure."Jennifer got out of the low-slung sports car. Though the café doors were open, the tables weren't set yet. She didn't see customers. A few servers were moving about inside.Jennifer pushed her sunglasses up on her head and strode toward the entrance. Orion fell in behind her. He was taking this watch-her-back stuff literally. She resisted the urge to smile.She could be amused later.Inside, a radio played softly. They stood at the front doors for almost a full minute before a young man carrying a crate full of glasses to the bar saw them."Sorry, we aren't open," he said in heavily accented English."I'm here to see Uwe," Jennifer replied.The young man's eyes widened. He quickly set his burden on the closest table and wiped his hands on the apron protecting his clothing."Follow me?" he said.She nodded and fell into step behind the guy.Clearly this Uwe person had a reputation.Did he own this place?The dishwasher led them through the upper dining ro

Friday. Café Brazil. Playa d'en Bossa, Ibiza.BAIN STARED AT THE door. He could hear their fading footsteps if he listened carefully enough."You didn't realize that was not Milan Esposito?" Mr. Magness' tone was cutting.Bain glanced at his boss. He felt sweat bead on his brow and knew this was one blunder he couldn't get out of."She's four-five-inches taller, man. Open you damn eyes." Mr. Magness snatched up his paper and stood."Sorry, sir," Bain muttered.Mr. Magness waved his hand. "Bah. It's her job to confuse people. Don't fall for it again. And find out everything you can on this Jennifer Miracle. You're going to be responsible for her and getting me that puzzle box."Bain nodded."Apply whatever pressure you must. The best opening will be tomorrow night. If she drags her heels, use our contact at the police and see if we can't change her mind. This has a better chance of succeeding if it isn't Ms. Esposito doing the job. This could work out in our favor."

Friday. Luxe Ibiza Hostel, Cala Gració, Ibiza.JENNIFER PACED THE SMALL event room off the entry of the hostel. She and Mateo had agreed that controlling where the meeting with Bain happened for the hand-off gave them a small edge.She didn't think this meeting would go well.Ultimately, she'd decided on inaction.If Uwe was going to go to the police, he'd have done so by now. So it made sense there was a greater purpose to all of this. They hadn't yet seen the true stick. Until she knew the full scope of the situation, no decision could be made.She glanced at her phone.The messages had stopped coming in from the girls. They must have all gone back to sleep. No doubt she'd pay for ignoring them later. It wasn't like she could just divulge this whole situation to them.Another notification popped up, separate from the rest. The preview said it all.Ivy: Are you ok? Something seemed off.Great.Jennifer swiped her finger over the screen and looked at the pr

Jennifer only felt a small pang of guilt about this. Her job was to look after Milan. At this point, keeping her from doing something damaging to herself was inevitable. Jennifer had to make a plan. She had to do something.As soon as Milan turned her attention on Zechariah, Jennifer continued toward Orion's office. He was still dealing with guests and the inevitable conflict that came from kicking someone off the property.She let herself into Orion's office via the patio doors. Her laptop sat on the edge of his desk where they'd both worked quietly together for a few hours before Bain's arrival.What if the thumb drive was another trap?She looked at her laptop, then the drive.There wasn't much on her laptop, but it connected to Aegis Group and had all of the Esposito's information on it.A familiar knock sounded on the door."Mateo?" she called out over her shoulder.The door opened. "That's me. How'd it go?"She turned toward him and grimaced. "You wouldn't happe

Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 154: Epilogue.
Three months later. Ibiza.THEY SHOULD HAVE ELOPED.Lumen was ready to throw the silly bouquets into the water, scream at the top of her lungs and jump off the cliff herself. Alone.Jennifer appeared almost instantly. "Have a drink, you look stressed."Lumen considered the beverage. She'd meant to abstain from anything that might make her the least bit emotional until after the wedding, but right now it was just what the doctor ordered. She took the glass and downed the contents in two gulps."Way to chug," Jennifer snickered.Lumen thrust the glass back at her. "You. Shut it."Prudence burst in through the curtain, one sheer panel sticking to her bun of braids.Lumen jumped, startled by the sudden appearance. "Shit, what?""It happened," Prudence blurted.Lumen pressed her hand to her chest. "What happened? What now? Fucking hell, people. This is a wedding not... I don't know. What?"Prudence cringed. "I should have thought about this. You might not want to hear before th
Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 153: Max
Sunday. Hotel, Boa Vista, Brazil.MAX WAS WAITING WITH a plate the moment Lumen appeared. Jennifer and Prudence both glared at him, but he managed to get Lumen's attention and steer her into the bedroom where their things had been left. He could tell that Lumen was exhausted and in more pain than she wanted to admit. Besides, she'd never been much for messy emotions and she'd already told him he loved her today. That alone would leave Lumen wanting to avoid groups."Oh, thank you." She settled on the edge of the bed and grimaced."You seemed to be kind of done."Lumen chuckled. "You still know me so well."Max offered her the sandwich. He wished he could give her more, but it was what was on hand for now.The desire to touch her was driving him crazy, but he didn't dare. Instead he retreated to the one arm chair in the room and sat at a safe distance. She might have forgiven him for today, but he kept replaying it and all the moments he should have acted differently.Maybe he
Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 152: Lumen
Sunday. Hospital, Boa Vista, Brazil.LUMEN WASN'T SURE WHAT she liked the least, the pain or the way all the drugs made it feel as though she were moving through quicksand. Or that gel stuff the kids liked playing with.She sighed, only to be reminded that her ribs were. Not broken, so that was a relief. The fractures were tiny, hairline cracks, so in the scope of things it was nearly a best case situation. Didn't change the fact that right now she hurt like hell.A nurse with kind eyes stepped behind the curtain. She'd been working double time considering her grasp of English was the best of those currently working. "The doctor says you're good to go.""Thanks. Thank you. For everything. You've been a great help.""I chose the right time to come home, didn't I?" The nurse chuckled. "Do you want me to let your husband come back?"Husband.Lumen swallowed.In the confusion of arriving at the hospital, it had been easy to just let people draw the conclusion. Now, after Lumen ha
Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 151: Lumen, Blair, Max
Sunday. Creed of Truth Sanctuary, Brazil.LUMEN FELT AS THOUGH she were being grilled alive lying in the bed of the pickup with the afternoon sun baking her. Her shoulder throbbed and if she breathed too deeply her ribs hurt. She didn't think they were broken. Fractured or bruised, but not broken. That was good.Thomas spat curses as he wrestled with the newly flat tire."Hurry up," Blair demanded.Lumen winced.That wasn't going to go over well."What did you say to me?" Thomas said in a dangerous tone.There was a heavy thud.Lumen imagined Thomas dropping the tire iron as he rose to direct his wrath at a new target."They're going to find us. We need to get clear of here," Blair said."What the fuck do you think I'm doing?""God, I never should have listened to you.""If it weren't for me, you'd be locked in your daddy's pleasure palace waiting on him to stick you with a needle and turn you into a good little daughter.""Shut up!" Blair roared. "Why don'
Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 150: Max
Sunday. Creed of Truth Sanctuary, Brazil.THE DRAMA AT THE front gate dragged on.Max ground his teeth.They couldn't take off down the road without raising questions. They were stuck here, with all eyes on them, until someone made a move.He prayed Lumen was safe, that she could last a little longer."Canteens are full," Prudence said from the back of the SUV."Did we find sunblock? These meat heads won't think about that until it's too late," Jennifer said."Yeah, there's some." Prudence shifted behind Max. "Everything's ready. How's it looking out there?""The same," Vito replied. It was pretty much the only thing he'd said since indicating he would be going with them on this adventure.That left Brett and three other Aegis Group guys to guard Nabanita and her family. Those weren't great numbers given the situation, but Max was willing to believe they could hold their own."Have we heard from Zain?" Max asked."Nothing yet," Prudence replied.Max pulled ou
Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 149: Lumen
Sunday. Creed of Truth Sanctuary, Brazil.LUMEN SAT ON THE bottom bunk watching the only door to the room, but it was still shut.Had Blair really not realized her phone was missing? Was something else going on?"Breakfast should have come by now," Buzz said for at least the fifth time, if not more. "Something's not right."That last bit was new.She turned her head and watched him pacing, eyes on the door like hers."Hey?" she said. "It's going to be okay.""You don't know that.""I do."She still hadn't told him what she'd done, though he'd seen. He had to have seen.He kept pacing, not listening to her at all.Poor kid, he'd been locked up for over a week from the sound of things. She doubted he'd had a lot of company."What's their reasoning keeping you locked up like this?" she asked to get him out of his own head."I don't know," Buzz said."Okay, well, what have they said? What do you know?""Nothing. I know nothing, okay?""I see."He sighed
Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 148: Max, Blair
Sunday. Creed of Truth Sanctuary, Brazil.MAX SAT IN THE backseat of another SUV and watched as Nabanita and William once more tried to reason with the idiots at the gate.This time, however, there hadn't been just an attendant at the gate. They'd been met with four armed men who appeared to be from Sonny's personal guard. Just how many of them were there? A truck was parked in front of the entrance. There was no way to easily drive in.This was all Zain's plan.Max didn't pretend to understand the maneuvers, only that they were testing the waters today. Dangling Nabanita and William as a decoy was their aim."Think they've brought up the book?" Jennifer asked."If I were them I'd be sweating bullets," Prudence muttered.Orion glanced back and caught Max's eye.He looked away quickly. The last thing he wanted to do right now was talk."Notice anything off that we might not?" Orion asked.Max sighed and looked back at the gate. "Thomas isn't out there this time. H
Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 147: Lumen
Sunday. Creed of Truth Sanctuary, Brazil.LUMEN LAY ON THE top bunk staring at the ceiling. Buzz had fallen asleep again finally.They'd spent most of the night doing that. Talking, drifting off into silence and sleeping a bit. Eventually one of them would wake up, then the other and it began again.He'd seemed to understand without her needing to say it that there were some things they just couldn't talk about.Buzz was a perceptive kid.Like his sister.It killed Lumen that they needed to be this grown up.Kids should get to be kids.She prayed Max and Aspen were safe, that they'd gotten to the others and were hatching some mad scheme. Lumen had no doubt that the girls wouldn't rest until she was sprung from this prison. Unlike Jennifer, Lumen knew the lengths her coworkers and friends would go to for one of their own. She'd never doubted the resolve of those she worked with. Aegis Group had become her family in a way.The real question was, how long would it tak
Aegis Group Dangerous Ladies Chapter 146: Max
Sunday. Safe House, Boa Vista, Brazil.THE GRAY DAWN BROKE on the horizon as Max and the others rolled through the front gate of the safe house. He eyed the surveillance men. They were mostly the same ones he'd seen before he'd left. Still the battle hardened faces of men who knew what they were doing.Which meant it was Sonny keeping an eye on them and bypassing Thomas.Max hadn't seen it until the very end, but there was a dividing line between Thomas and Sonny. The two didn't always know what the other was doing.Fuck all of them.Vito pulled the SUV into the garage where they could safely unload. They needed to keep Max and Aspen's whereabouts under wraps for as long as possible.It had taken them hours to land and get back. More time than he'd have thought necessary. All of which meant that Lumen was still back there. Alone. Going through who knew what.Max stuffed all the frustration down inside of him as he opened the SUV door and helped Aspen out. She'd held he
