Hotter Than Hell Chapter 168: Lincoln
We walk into Shelby's house so she can pack a bag. She removes a few scarves from the assortment spread throughout her home. Daisy is with us. He follows Shelby from room to room refusing to let her out of his sight.When she's ready, we lock up and head over to my place. I'm carrying two large bags and Shelby has a small one. By the weight of the two bags I hope she's moving in permanently.I place everything in my bedroom. Shelby carries her smaller bag into the bathroom. I didn't sleep well last night and I'm still exhausted. I remove my shoes and socks, lie back on the bed face up, and close my eyes. I'm sideways, so my feet are touching the floor.The bed dips a few minutes later when Shelby scoots in beside me. Her lips touch mine and I don't bother opening my eyes. I reach over, grab her hips, and pull her on top of me. She's naked and I smile against her lips. I hear a soft whine from the doorway and ignore it. Daisy needs a playmate for just these times. I'll think about it la
Hotter Than Hell Chapter 169: Lincoln
My parents' home is a far cry from Shelby's parents' mansion. We drive up the dirt road leading to their property. I can tell by Shelby's smile that she's already in love. I knew she would be and that's why I refused to answer any questions about my parents throughout the week.Their Pueblo-style home has orange stuccoed outer walls. There's an iron gate that leads into a small comfortable courtyard complete with a Mexican chiminea for the cooler winter months. I park and open my door. Shelby waits for me to walk around and help her out, but Daisy has no manners. He jumps down and begins sniffing the desert landscaping. I'm unconcerned. My parents own several acres.The yapping alerts me that the dual terrors are on the attack. They fly out of the courtyard with my mother on their heels. "Come back here you pig-headed bandits," she yells. They attack Daisy, who has no idea what's happening. They jump and bite and growl. Daisy looks at me like fleas are attacking on him."You're tough,
Hotter Than Hell Chapter 170: Lincoln
"I loved them," Shelby sighs wearily on our way home."They love you too," I say with absolute conviction."If it bothers you to talk about it, it's okay, but I was hoping you would tell me about your brother Rutherford?"The question hangs for a moment. I do my best to keep my voice neutral and not show how much the topic angers me. "He went to Afghanistan, did three tours. The war changed him. He had a best buddy who died over there too. That was bad enough. Then my brother Andrew was murdered while working the border. Rutherford didn't handle it well to say the least. He didn't make it home in time for the funeral. He showed up two months later, no longer in the Marines.""I'm so sorry," Shelby says."He went to Mexico to find the men who killed Andrew. It didn't matter what we all told him. The government was doing everything they could to find and prosecute the drug cartel. He didn't call my parents for months at a time. My mother was sick with worry, my father furious. He showed
Hotter Than Hell Chapter 171: Lincoln
I pull out my wallet and toss a few bills on the table. I take her hand and pull her up. "Let's get out of here," I say with a soft smile.She laughs, grabs the small black box, and we walk out. I want her at home, in my bed, and crying out my name."It really is beautiful," she repeats in the truck."I wanted something you would wear with all your crazy clothes.""You love my crazy clothes," she says with a laugh."I love you naked more."Her hand goes to the bulge in my pants and she runs her fingers over the material. I should have asked her at home so we didn't have the long drive to find privacy. I groan in surprise when Shelby unhooks her seat belt and unzips my pants. I start to say no, but she moves over me too quickly and the last word I'll ever say when her mouth is on my dick is "No." I concentrate on driving. It's not easy."Can you handle this, big boy?" Her hot breath hits my cock before her warm tongue slides around the head again."Not fucking easily, but I'll survive."
Hotter Than Hell Chapter 172: Part 5: Rack
The knife wound runs down my side from under my arm to the top of my hip. It burns like a motherfucker, and the tequila does little to stop the pain as the needle sinks into my flesh. The stitches are far from professional, but they'll do the job and close the skin, keeping muscle and tissue on the inside where they belong.Never strangle a man with a knife in his hand is my new motto. He sliced into my side before I could stop him. He's dead now and I'm alive, so I'll take it as a lesson learned. Putting up with Gomez's shit for my stupidity isn't helping me feel the love as he stitches me up."Fuck," he swears as he wipes his bloody hands on a blood-covered cloth. I look down at myself as he readjusts his grip on the large needle. "You can't do things halfway, can you?" he taunts as the needle punctures my skin again.I take another pull from the bottle and suck in a breath as he works the needle through the skin on the other side and ties off another stitch. "The son of a bitch is d

From: Nick.Hoffman@us.gov.orgTo: Beth.Hoffman@mymail.comDear Baby Sister,Yeah, I know you hate when I call you that. Too bad, you will always be the baby. Life is good but dirty as in dirt everywhere. You don't need to hear all the dirty details but this man's balls are gritty and I'll leave it at that. This pretty much explains Afghanistan to a T. My friend Rack saves my sanity. This is his third tour and he knows his shit. You would like him and I know he would like you. Hint, hint!Your favorite and only big brother,Nick***The men watch me around the clock. Getting my hands on a cell phone is a fluke and I still can't believe my luck. I need to send a text and get out of Peter's room quickly.I don't have much time to think about what I send, but I need to be smart. I can delete the history after sending the text. This opens up a new set of problems. If Peter notices his missing messages, he'll check his phone account online and trace the text. If that happens, it won't be j
Hotter Than Hell Chapter 174: Rack
After Dr. Santos examined me and shot me full of more antibiotics, he shook his head while rewrapping my chest and told me to rest for the next few days. He was well aware that would never happen. I slept around the clock. One day of sleep and I craved the gym, tender wound be damned.The stitches pull during my workout, so I take it easy-two miles on the treadmill, push-ups, chin-ups, sit-ups. Gomez attended a meeting with Moon this morning and I have the gym to myself. I'm finishing my workout and thinking about a hot shower when Celina walks in. I rise from the floor after my last ten push-ups and try to grab my shirt before she sees the blood seeping through the gauze.Her hands go to her small waist. "Don't bother. Carlo told me what happened."Carlo is Dr. Santos. "Whatever happened to doctor-patient confidentiality?" I grumble.She ignores my question. "He told me to keep an eye on you and make sure you take it easy. I've already failed and you should be ashamed."I pull the shi

From: Nick.Hoffman@us.gov.orgTo: Beth.Hoffman@mymail.comDear Burpie,Yeah, you hate that name too. I remember holding you on my shoulder and you vomiting milk down my back and ruining my favorite chick magnet T-shirt. Doesn't matter that I was nine, the chicks loved that shirt. It's funny how those memories are so important here. War sucks and the only thing keeping my head on straight are thoughts of you and talking to Rack. You know, the guy I want you to marry? The only guy who can protect you from your crazy self and make you happy. I think he's half in love with you from the stories I tell him about your wild ways. He also loves talking about his family. He has four brothers and awesome parents. For such a badass, he's a family man. When we're out of this hellhole you'll meet him and understand.Your chick magnet brother,Nick***Angelo paces in front of me fisting his hands slowly, and a pulse ticks beside his eye. I never take my gaze off him. If he hits me, I want to see i

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
Hotter Than Hell Chapter 301: Moon
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
