Dark Secrets and Dangerous Love Fifteen
Juliet woke the following day, smiling when her phone vibrated on her nightstand. As she reached out to grab it, she pushed her thick curtain of hair behind her ear so she could see. The room was still dark, but that was not unusual. As much as she liked her sleep, she woke up early each day. Juliet was always the most productive first thing in the morning as she was drinking her coffee. After that, the days always seemed to go downhill, or at least they did, up until this weekend. Matthew was a game-changer.Juliet grabbed her phone and grimaced as the light temporarily blinded her while she fumbled to turn down the brightness. It was just after five in the morning, and she saw a message from Natalie that sat unread. She debated going to grab her coffee before she read it, but was not ready to leave the warmth of her comforter. Natalie had always been an early riser. It was a common occurrence for her to leave for her office before the sun rose. Her drive was almost an hour away.

Juliet had no clue where he was going or how long it would take for Matthew to get there, but she turned the ringer up on her phone, determined not to miss his call when it came through. Her fingers fumbled over the keyboard as she responded quickly. Juliet: It would have been nice to be in your arms. I guess I'll just have to wait until you get back. I look forward to your call. She walked back inside, leaving the patio slider open to allow the fresh breeze to flow throu

Matthew let out a sigh as he hung up the phone. More than anything, he wished he could have taken Juliet up on her offer and gone inside with her instead of getting on a smelly, crammed plane for seven hours. Good Lord, her offer was more tempting than anything he could imagine. The sound of knuckles rapping against the wood of his bedroom door was followed by yelling. “Oy! Food’s here!” Hawk was a small guy. It was unreal how much he enjoyed food for someone who had the body of a starved kid. He was only twenty, but he was one of the most tech-savvy people that Matthew had ever met. The agency seemed to think so, too. They recruited him right out of the foster system when he was only seventeen. Unfortunately, there was no one to miss him or mourn him when he became a ghost. Fortunately, it made his transition more manageable, and he was more than happy to have found a family within the company. Sure, people died occasionally, but it didn’t seem to faze him.The carpet was hard

The next few days, Juliet was restless and unable to focus on her writing as she impatiently awaited responses to the applications that she had sent out. She knew that she had a couple of hundred dollars coming in over the next two weeks from the articles she had written prior, but combined with her checking account, it would only be enough for another month, maybe two, if she tightened her purse strings further. When the first of several emails came through, she was nervous.She stared at the subject line showing the position title she had applied for. It made her uneasy that she had no missed calls when the email came through. Surely, tha

Juliet sent her a smile and looked down at the name tag pinned to her lavender shirt as the woman wiped flour from her hands on a towel. Sophia.She wasn't the one to write it, but Juliet remembered reading an article about the opening of a new café that had just opened a few weeks prior. She hadn't gone into the shop before her job hunt started, and now she wished that she had looked into the shop's history or at least tried some of the food before she came in for the interview. She felt unprepared and nervous.“Hi, I’m Juliet. I am here for an interview.” She stretched her hand across the counter, offering it to Sophia. She did not think the small woman’s smile could get any bigger, but it did. Sophia eagerly shook her hand. "Juliet! Please, take a seat anywhere. I'll be right around in

The next morning, she pulled on a simple pair of clean skinny jeans with a heather grey t-shirt. Sophia had not said if there was a dress code, so she tried to mirror the woman's clean and casual look from the day prior. She was unreasonably nervous, and her anxiety for the day to come made her forget about her morning coffee altogether. As she approached the storefront, the smell wafting toward her made her mouth water. Sophia ran forward to the counter at the sound of the bell when Juliet opened the door, looking relieved to see her new employee.

"I moved here about two months ago. Between setting up my business and fixing up the lemon of a house I bought, I'm still living out of boxes." Sophia laughed and followed Juliet to the dining room to wipe down the tables and chairs."Well, if you need help with anything, just let me know. I could bring my roommate Natalie over and help with your house." She mirrored Sophia as she flipped the cleaned chair on top of the table. Juliet hoped to buy a house of her own one day where she could grow a garden and have a dog running through the backyard to chase away the birds. Living paycheck to paycheck off a minimal cafe salary wouldn't do the trick, but it was nice to dream about. The thought of Matthew coming home to her and their future dog flashed through her mind again. She quickly shook the image out of her head as she continued to work.

Dark Secrets and Dangerous Love Epilogue 2
When his monthly calls stopped, her worry eventually outweighed her anger, and more than anything, she just wanted to hear his voice or see him one more time to know that he was okay. He called her after speaking to Cadence and was flabbergasted by the fact that she had answered the phone at all after ignoring his calls for so long. He was left speechless when she demanded that he return home so she could see he was safe for herself. Juliet watched as he bit back his emotions at hearing his mother’s voice, but he was ecstatic that he would get to introduce Juliet to the other women in his life. “We talked on the phone. Come on, you are perfect, and they will love you.” As he stepped to the side to pull her toward the entrance of the home once more, the front door was thrown open, and a beautiful blonde sprinted out with a shout of glee as she threw herself into Matthew’s arms. “Hey, sis. I’ve missed you too.” He said with a laugh as he held onto her just as tightly as she did
Dark Secrets and Dangerous Love Epilogue
Juliet walked slowly across the gravel driveway with her hands down at her sides in fists to hide the fact that they were shaking. It had been a long four years, but it was also the best four years of her life. Matthew walked up behind her and placed his warm palm on her lower back, and she felt her muscles loosen at his touch. The large, beautiful ranch-style house in front of her added to the intimidation she had felt toward their current situation, and she had half a mind to run back to the car and not come out. “Relax, Red. Everything will be okay.” He bent down and whispered into her ear before he kissed the crown of her head. His hot breath fanned across her skin, and she gave a jerk as a chill ran down her spine from his proximity. It didn’t matter how long they were together. Her body still reacted like it was the first time. Sparks would dance across her skin, goosebumps would appear as they followed his lips where they trailed across her body, and her mind would melt

Juliet pushed up on her toes, wanting more, needing to be closer to him. The warm water felt nice and refreshing, but touching Matthew, being pressed against his wildly impressive form, was like touching an electric charge. She was sure that at any moment, she would be startled awake, but as Matthew stepped forward, making her move back, she felt completely out of control. Matthew didn't stop until she had her back to the cool shower wall, and he was consuming her. She lifted her leg, wrapping it around his hip, and Matthew released a deep, low groan of "Fuuuuccckkk," as he placed his tip at her entrance and slowly sank into her. They had only been apart for a few months, but it felt like ages. She welcomed him and his touch back greedily, gasping into his mouth as he pushed forward. "Tell me you're mine," Matthew insisted, thrusting quickly and taking her breath away as he entered her. "Oh my God!" Juliet cried out, her nails digging into his back, and yet, he only thru

Matthew hurried as he heard the shower turn on, eager to join his Juliet. He wanted to inspect every inch of her to see if she was telling the truth about doing better and healing, but he needed to finish locking down the house and doing mild surveillance. For the next two weeks, the U.S. Marshals would have someone posted nearby to blend in with the neighborhood as a precaution to ensure they hadn't been followed and that they were no active threat to them. Once they had, they would leave, and it would just be Matthew and Juliet all alone. He couldn't wait. He finished checking all the windows and doors, making a note of every neighbor whose windows allowed them sight into Matthew's new home, and he tried to memorize what area of the house each window granted the people in that home access to. He wanted to be sure he was fully informed and one step ahead of the enemy should they attack. The sound of Juliet dropping something made him pause, though, and he checked the lock on th

Juliet couldn't let him go even if she wanted to. Her body protested even the thought of releasing him, but Matthew seemed to feel the same way. He held her just as tightly, kissing her again deeply as if making up for lost time before a loud clearing of a throat disrupted them. "It's time to go." The Marshal said, but Juliet couldn't pull her eyes from Matthew. He walked her to the SUV and helped her inside, chuckling when she was reluctant to release him. "Let's go home," Matthew whispered, and Juliet nodded as the car was put into gear and the U.S. Marshal accelerated. "Where is home going to be?" "That information is classified." The Marshal said, and Juliet narrowed her eyes, unamused. "How is it classified when we are the ones going there?" Juliet asked, but she was fully distracted by Matthew's hand on her thigh. The heat of his touch burned through her jeans, and she leaned closer to him, her hands grabbing his arm as she tried to maintain as much contact as possible f

If she ever saw him again, she hoped he would give her a hard time for taking it. It was part of why she had taken it out of the box and put it on. “And I’m sorry again that I chopped you in the throat.” At this point, both let out a small laugh at the memory. “Would you also please tell Liam I appreciate you both for saving me? You also need to take care of Sophia. I know that you keep denying it, but it is so obvious that something is going on between you two whenever I bring her up.” Juliet had more that she wanted to say to everyone and more that she wanted to ask for him to pass along, but the most important thing she needed to say was to Matthew, and she left it written down in the letter she had written for him. “You’re not dying, you know,” Lucas said teasingly, turning the radio down to be nothing more than low background noise. “Don’t you worry, okay? We will take care of all this, and you will be home before you know it.” “For a special agent, you don’t take anything se

Juliet had felt sick even since Lucas got the call, alerting them that it was time for her to enter witness protection. They hadn't told her what had changed or why it was safe for her to be moved now versus before, but the lack of information was stressing her out. They surely should be able to tell her if something good had happened. At least, she hoped they would. It seemed reasonable that since it affected her, they could give her some sort of update, but they didn't.She was in the dark and very frustrated by the lack of information. “Are you ready yet?” Lucas asked with his boyish excitement. He was in charge of getting Julie to the U.S. Marshals, who would take over her care and get her to her new location. She wasn't ready, though, and had done everything but scrub the baseboards as a way to stall. That morning, she had taken a shower so long she almost questioned if it was possible to run out of cold water and had cleaned every surface of the house twice (much to Liam’s pr

Juliet was surprised that they stayed so long. Was she happy to be in one place? Yes. Was she sick of the canned beans and rice in the pantry? Absolutely. She refused to look because she was pretty positive they had expired a long time ago. Still, she kept her mouth shut because she knew it was better than the MREs. "Morning," Liam said, bursting into the bedroom, and Juliet sighed as she stared at the ceiling in boredom. At least he didn't say it was a good morning. That would be an outright lie. She had been watching the news every morning and every night, but there had been nothing so far. "Hm," Juliet hummed. "Have fun," Liam said, dropping a box onto the bed beside her, and Juliet's eyes shot wide open. The familiar logo and shape made her giddy with excitement. Juliet had grown bored and was getting impatient to the point of anger as she waited to hear news about Matthew. It didn’t help that she had to spend time each day practicing her new signature and re
