Hotter Than Hell Chapter 13
I stare at the dark television for ten minutes. This solves nothing. I check the sliding glass door that leads to my very small patio. It has a broken broomstick in the bottom rail so it can only slide open after removing it. The locking mechanism, which I check too, is a piece of crap. I head to the front door and lock it. I walk to my bedroom to go through my pre-sleep ritual. After a quick shower, I slip into one of my large shapeless tees. Brushing, flossing and moisturizer are next.I lie down in bed and turn off the lamp. When I close my eyes, I picture Moon-his reticent smile, his intense eyes, and his sexy as hell bod. My girl parts are ramped up and it's all Moon's fault. With a groan, I roll over and grab the purple wonder from the drawer beside my bed. I hit the switch and then lift and spread my knees. I place the vibration against my clit. The purple wonder twirls and vibrates, hitting the spot perfectly. I slide it through my folds and back to my clit while imagining Moo

Sweat drips down my brow and my tee is soaked. My brown BDUs are damp too. I need water, so I walk back to Sally for my water bottle. It was completely frozen when I left the apartment earlier. It's lukewarm now. I take a healthy swallow.I search for Mama Kane for an hour, but I can't find her. A homeless man I'm unfamiliar with tells me she's at Veterans hospital. Her goat went with animal control. I head to the hospital and receive bad news. Someone assaulted Mama Kane and she's in critical condition. A nurse tells me that no one has visited her and that I'm the first to ask how she's doing.It's so incredibly sad. As a cop, I was limited in what I could do. The homeless are considered a problem. It was my job to keep them in line. Don't get me wrong, I helped where I could. It's never enough, though.The nurse tells me that the cops want to know when she dies. This should make me angry, but I know it means the detectives have a suspect. If Mama Kane dies, the charges will change

Moon has pulled me so close that his face is inches from mine. "I locked it after I opened the door so it auto locks and I don't have a key," I say on a slow breath."I have a key. Christ, you smell so good," he murmurs and runs his nose across my cheek.I would tell him the same thing, but the information about him having my key stops me cold. "You made copies of my keys?" I knew he must have, I just didn't expect him to admit it.His hand glides down my body until he cups my ass. He ignores my question. "I just needed to see you for a moment and do this..."His lips crash down on mine. He isn't gentle. I forget about the keys. Hell, I forget that I'm outside in my short shorts. The kiss is hungry and wet, dominating and sexual. He tastes so damn good.He backs off and runs his tongue across my lips. "I've fantasized for the past two nights about you, like this." He deepens the kiss. His tongue slips around mine and I moan. He pulls me closer and presses his erection into my lowe

I don't recognize the voice right away."Mak, please."It's Penny Dandridge. "What's wrong, Penny?" I ask her softly. She sounds desperate and it helps clear my foggy thoughts."I need you to pick me up," she says between tears while gasping for breath.This isn't good, and I'm rethinking a cement foundation for her soon-to-be ex-husband. "Okay, have you called the police?""No police." Pure distress is clear in her answer. "Don't call them, please. I just need you to pick me up."Well, hell. I will most likely change my mind and call the police after I discover what condition she's in. "Are you safe?""Ye...yes. I'm safe. I'm in Heber. At the cabin in Heber. I need, just need a ride.""Okay," I get up and head to my desk. "Give me your address. It'll take about two hours to get there." I scribble the address."Thank you, Mak... I'm so sorry." She hangs up. Her voice sounded incredibly sad. I, on the other hand, am pissed off. If I had my hands on Harry Dandridge right now,

"Madison?" Moon asks groggily.Relief swamps me and I try not to cry. This does no good and tears of relief fall from my eyes. "I'm hurt," is all I can manage to say and even that's shaky."Shh," Moon whispers. His voice is my lifeline and I only cry harder. "Where are you?"Another round of trembling hits me. I suck air into my lungs and try to control myself enough to speak. "Between Payson and Heber..." My teeth continue to chatter and once again, I breathe. "I'm about a hundred yards down the side of the mountain.""Jesus." I hear movement and then my eyes jump left and right in case whoever did this has decided to come after me."How bad are you hurt?" he finally asks. The words are filled with concern, though I can hear the suppressed anger behind them.I concentrate on Moon's question and manage to speak coherently. "Bleeding. It's a head wound. I went over right after the second s-turn about fifteen minutes or so outside of Payson."His voice changes from concern to dead

I wait until I actually hear him. At the sound of his voice, my body goes lax. I need to stand, but I'm unable to send the message to my legs. "Moon," I groan. Flashlights are fanned out in four directions and they zero in on the sound of my croaky voice. Moon gets to me first and goes to his knees beside me. I wince when the flashlights blind me."Move the lights off her," Moon snaps. All but the one he's holding move away. He tips his down. Bad cop, I want to tell him. Always limit their vision. I'm not a cop, though, and Moon most definitely isn't either."Speak to me, baby." He pushes the hair from my face.I feel nauseated and I only manage to mumble this information. He must understand because he wraps his arm around my chest and keeps me from falling face first into vomit as my guts heave onto the ground beside me. He offers a soothing chorus of words until he calls me "baby" again. "Don't call me that," I say stupidly. It's the shame of him holding me while I toss my cooki

Moon steps back and a middle-aged man with compassionate brown eyes bends over me. I try to look around him to Moon. The man smiles and I forget about Moon. The doctor's hair is mostly gray and his smile is genuine."Miss Kinlock, I'm Dr. Santos. Please call me Carlo." He begins explaining what he needs to do. I'm only half following. The sound of his voice is putting me to sleep. He performs each part of his exam and repeats what and why he's doing what he's doing. He shines a light in my eyes and I close them. "I need you to look into the light, Miss Kinlock." His voice is soft and coaxing.I squint trying to do what he says. I want to please him. It's an odd sensation because I'm not fond of doctors. I put up with their curt bedside manner through multiple surgeries on my shoulder. I've had enough of doctors to last me a lifetime. He puts the light down and has me roll to my side facing away from him. He places his fingers on the base of my skull and manipulates the vertebrae down

Moon is sitting on the side of the bed where Dr. Santos was seated. His fingers slide across my cheek. The caress feels wonderful on the lower half of my face but the upper half is numb. "Before you answer, you aren't up for anything more than a bath. You're on heavy drugs, and I won't take advantage nor will I allow you to drown. I can stand over you and watch or you can sit in my lap and rest while your muscles get some much needed attention."Moon watching me in the bath naked seems worse than resting against his body. I'm too drugged and I'm too worn out to think beyond this. "You can be my floaty," I tell him and giggle. Drugs are such a wonderful invention.Even with my head swirling, I refuse to be carried. Moon protests and tries to lift me, but I bat his hands away. He gives in with a shake of his head. He's accustomed to getting his way, and I have a feeling he's not sure how to handle me. We slowly manage our way to the bathroom, which has a separate door for the toilet ar

Hotter Than Hell Chapter 304: Moon
I stayed with Mr. Loche for two hours. When I came back to the cabin, Father Andrews and Madison were cooking dinner together in the kitchen. She was laughing and he was telling her that anyone can learn to cook, it just takes practice. I don't add my two cents that the meal Mrs. Loche prepared would have been safer. I word it a little more carefully, "Please don't encourage her. Gabriella will throw a fit if Madison moves in on her territory." They stop what they're doing and I receive my first genuine smile from Madison that I've seen in weeks."It's a simple lasagna. Mak can make it when you're here at the cabin. Even I wouldn't do anything to piss off Gabriella." He cringes with great exaggeration and Madison laughs.She looks at him with a huge smile. "You didn't tell me you know Gabriella.""I know her daughter. I've heard all the stories from her and I'm terrified of her mother."I walk to my wife and wrap my arms around her from behind. She leans into me and places her hands on
Hotter Than Hell Chapter 303: Madison
It's three more days before our guest arrives. I'm actually tongue-tide when Moon introduces me to Father Andrews. He's American but lives in Mexico and drove all this way to return a favor he owed my husband. He's younger than a priest has a right to be and he's too damn good looking for his job. I place him in his early thirties. It's strange because he looks oddly familiar even though I'm sure I've never met him.The three of us walk into the living room where Mrs. Loche put out cucumber sandwiches and chocolate chip cookies. Father Andrews's eyes light up. "I haven't eaten since breakfast and these look delicious," he says while filling a plate.Moon doesn't sit with us. "Mr. Loche and I are working on a new garden and clearing some land. I'll be next door if you need me." He leans down and places his lips on mine for a short kiss. It actually embarrasses me because Father Andrews is watching. Moon taps me under the chin in understanding because of the heat traveling up my neck and
Hotter Than Hell Chapter 302: Madison
With revenge motivating me, dealing with what happened was easier. The need for blood became a driving force that allowed me to put my thoughts and feelings on hold. Now my feelings, doubt, and shame overshadow everything. My mind is a dark hole with a smoky mist that Moon stands in to beckon me out. His hand is there. I can almost touch it, but my fingers slide away, a millimeter short, and the darkness covers me once more.Sleep is the worst. Nightmares make me toss and turn throughout the night. Most center around blood on my hands. They drip the red, congealed mess onto everything I touch and when I open my eyes it's still there. Or so the dream goes.I find it strange that I don't dream about what Fernandez did to me. It's his laughter, though, that wakes me night after night. Moon is always there to comfort me during those horrible hours. He pulls me close to his body when I give the slightest gasp. I breathe in his scent and fill my lungs with his strength. Until I fall asleep a

Part of my heart-stopping fury recedes when I pull Madison back into my arms. Her entire body is shaking and she's still clutching the knife I handed her. Alex takes it from her hand after I scoop her into my arms and cradle her against my chest. I breathe in the scent of her hair and try to gain more control.This woman is everything. She's the reason I wake up in the morning. Everything I hold dear is wrapped up in her. Cori meets my eyes and she tips her head in acknowledgement. When she turns away, Duke is standing behind her. He pulls her into his arms and walks her toward the front room. He stops when Goose is dragged closer by one of Dax's men and places himself between Cori and Duke. Duke casually pulls his gun and fires, striking him between the eyes. Goose blankly stares at the ceiling by the time the sound of the gunshot fades from the room. Cori spits on Goose's body before Duke leads her forward. Alex gives orders to clean up the bloody mess."Please take me home," Madison
Hotter Than Hell Chapter 300: Madison
She steps forward and Fernandez spins and tries throwing a punch at my head but misses. He moves quickly even with a bullet through the foot and gets between Cori and Sofia's rifle. Melina takes the opportunity to bring her gun down on the back of his head. He stumbles and I kick the tibial pressure point in his good leg. He drops and I kick Celina's gun away from him. She grabs it and aims it at him as he wiggles around like a flopping fish. I hand Melina my gun and slam down into his back with my cuffs primed. I practically pull his arms from their sockets in order to secure his hands behind his back while he's stunned."Help me get him up on the kitchen island and I'll cut off his fucking clothes." We drag him back to the kitchen minus Celina who stays at her post, which is the front door. He struggles but it's not enough for four women on a mission.The sick feeling in my stomach stays and I turn slightly and rub tears from my eyes. Not a minute has gone by that I haven't thought a
Hotter Than Hell Chapter 299: Madison
We park a half mile from the home. Melina and I run up the street, carrying the post driver between us because it's so damn heavy, and check out the property. Like the house he kept me and Cori in, this one is away from other homes and on a nice sized piece of property. The desert foliage on the north side of the area gives us a good vantage point to see the back door. I call Celina."Send Cori north to our location. The front door is on the south side of the house and you'll have about twenty-five yards from the truck to the door. Sofia will be your driver and leave as soon as you're inside. She'll park and meet us. We'll come through the back five minutes after you enter." We covered all of this in the car, but it helps me to go over the plan out loud again. "Give Cori ten minutes to get in place before Sofia drops you off.""Cori just took off. We're set," Celina says before ending the call.After Cori meets us, we stay low and wait for Sofia to text me that Celina is in the house.
Hotter Than Hell Chapter 298: Moon
Alex brings the car to the front. Austin jumps into the back and I take the passenger seat. I told the men to put Gabriella in our safe room until everything settles. She can cuss them out in Spanish, I don't have time. Sirens can be heard in the distance and we need to be completely clear of the house before they hit the street that leads to my private road.I've also notified additional men to meet us at the warehouse. As soon as we have Fernandez's location, we'll be moving out quickly. It suddenly occurs to me that Dax is totally out of the loop, so I dial his cell."You're fucking kidding me," he practically yells when I tell him his wife ran over a man and picked up the women. "I'm on my way." Another call comes in and I look at the display. It's Caleb."Start heading here with reinforcements," I tell Dax quickly. "I'll call as soon as we have a location. It won't be long."The man in the trunk is moaning loudly. There are metal plates over the taillights and nothing he can do to
Hotter Than Hell Chapter 297: Moon
Madison is up to something. The strange feeling persisted while she dressed and then at breakfast. Sending her off to the service without me was nearly impossible. The fact is, I need to get my head out of my ass and take care of Fernandez once and for all. The thought of him taking Madison again is eating me alive.While she's at EE, I can focus on what it takes to keep everyone safe. The Frontera Cartel is out of the picture and now we can focus on one man. I have everyone but our outside security in the conference room. Austin joins us too."How do we bring him out in the open without risking one of our women as bait?" I ask the men. It didn't matter how much Madison complained, there was no way I would give into her plan.I've never reached my current level of frustration as we debate the best scenarios. Alex hasn't said a word since entering the meeting, which surprises me. When I look at him, his eyes are on the door leading to the hallway."What has you worried?" I ask him when
Hotter Than Hell Chapter 296: Madison
The women with Celina give whoops and atta-girl shouts. I can't help smiling. "We'll be another thirty minutes. There's a building supply store not far from you and I need you to pick up two metal fence post drivers." I never worked Cave Creek as a cop, but one of the officers lived there and loved having barbeques, so I'm familiar with the area."We're on it. Meet us in the parking lot."I disconnect the call and decide to join Cori in the front. I wiggle between the seats and then lean back and exhale after I attach my seatbelt. "I'm worried Moon could beat us there."Cori puts her foot on the gas and shoots forward on the freeway. The 51 is one of the lighter trafficked freeways if you're not driving it during rush hour and we're pushing the witching hour. It's the most direct route from central Phoenix to the north valley and we're in luck because it's wide open. If that luck continues, highway patrol won't have units in the vicinity.We make it to the building supply store in twen
