Hotter Than Hell Chapter 186: Rack
"These are baggy but they'll stay up." She pulls one of the shirts out of a bag and heads back into the bathroom. She comes out wearing a pink stretch top that shows off her round belly. My eyes travel down to her bare toes. She wiggles them. "My feet are swollen and I don't think I can get back into my shoes right now."I also didn't think to buy shoes. "We aren't going anywhere until morning. Do you have a problem with more pizza for dinner?"She looks at the box and I would swear she turns a little green."I can go out and get us something. You name it and it's yours."She shakes her head. "No, it's all good. I'm not actually hungry. I haven't eaten so much since before I met Angelo."She's giving me the perfect lead-in. "Why don't you sit down and tell me how you got involved with Angelo Gimonde."She gives me sad puppy dog eyes but it won't work. "Just saying I was stupid won't cut it?"I shake my head and use my foot to push out the chair across from me. I place the cleaning item
Hotter Than Hell Chapter 187: Beth
To: Beth Hoffman,Enclosed you will find your brother's final communication. He has paid the ultimate sacrifice to his country and so has his family. I grieve with you.Commander E. MontgomeryDearest Beth,By now you know I didn't keep my promise and that I'm not coming home. Forgive me. I would give anything to see you grow into a more incredible woman, find that special man who completes you, and make baby Beths who will be as cute as you. From the moment you were born, I loved you. I hear that's rather strange for older brothers but to me you were the perfect bundle of joy and you gave my life purpose. This is actually the second "just in case" letter I've written. This new one is because of my friendship with Rack. I've beat you upside the head about him. I won't do it in this letter. But I need you to know that he will always be there for you. You can depend on him no matter the circumstances. Grieve for me and then move on with your life. I want your happiness above all else. I
Hotter Than Hell Chapter 188: Rack
I jack off three times before I'm willing to even think about returning to the bedroom. She is so incredibly soft, her pussy so fucking hot. And, God, her taste. I'll never get it out of my head. The remembrance of her sweet scent mixes up my insides until I'm one raging hard-on after another. How the hell will I walk away once she's safe?The hero worship shows plainly in her eyes. She thinks I'm a man like her brother and has no idea who and what I really am-a cold-blooded killer with a vendetta that eats him alive. Beth deserves something more. She deserves a man without blood on his hands. I rest my forehead against the shower wall. What the hell am I doing? It doesn't matter that watching her come was the sexiest thing I've ever seen.I fucked this up royally. I'm relieved when I enter the bedroom and she's asleep. I want to leave early tomorrow morning, so I place all but one handgun in the weapons bag, tidy the room, and hit the bed wearing boxers. It doesn't take much for me
Hotter Than Hell Chapter 189: Rack
"We're heading to the first vehicle I found for sale." I notice her looking down at the receipt."What do you actually do for a living?" she asks.I knew the question would come up eventually. "I work security for Xavier Moon." If she recognizes his name, my answer will lead to more questions. I told her I wouldn't lie. There are things I can't talk about and I'll relay exactly that if her questions touch sensitive areas.She looks back down at the receipt. "He must pay quite well."I think about my foreign account with more than ten times what this one has. "Moon takes care of his employees," is all I say."I've never seen half a million dollars even on paper.""What?""You withdrew thirty thousand dollars and have half a million left. I can't even imagine."I place my hand out and she hands me the receipt. I'm driving, so I take only a quick look at the small paper. Sure enough, I have five hundred and one thousand dollars remaining."Gomez," I mutter."Is that code for something?""
Hotter Than Hell Chapter 190: Beth
The brighter future for my child has just taken a nose dive. This can't be happening, but the small regular ache in my lower back and my wet maternity crop pants say differently. I can't go to a hospital. Babies are born every day in a natural environment, I reassure myself.I lift my hand from my stomach and place it on top of Rack's. "Angelo will kill you. He'll kill anyone who gets in his way. Get us to a hotel. I'll tell you what you need to purchase. Women have been having babies by themselves since the dawn of time. I can do it." I say the words out loud because I'm terrified and actually need to reassure myself. I'd never forgive myself if something happened to the baby.Rack looks away. I have no idea what he's thinking. The quiet in the car makes a few minutes seem like hours. He finally looks ahead, throws the car in gear, and turns around. He's taking me to the hospital. I can't stop panic from gripping me, and my heart races uncontrollably.Rack turns my way and offers a re
Hotter Than Hell Chapter 191: Rack
"Now you know my big dark secret." I laugh as a way to take her mind off the pain. She's holding tight but I don't know how long it will last. I'm terrified over delivering the baby. Give me a rifle and something to shoot-I'm your guy. Bringing a child into this world-mind numbing terror.I thought about forgoing the call to Lincoln so he had no chance to say no. What if he wasn't there? Beth is a trouper, but I know we're almost out of time. If we're pulled over, it means we're going straight to a hospital with a police escort. I'll let fate decide. Even though my brother has training, it doesn't mean he can handle an emergency if something goes wrong.Beth gains control and replies, "I won't tell a soul, but now I have a lot of questions. Not now, though. Can you sing?"Her question comes out of left field. "No, not at all. You want me to turn on the radio?""Yeah, something mellow. I need to keep calm."I turn on the radio. It works until we're about an hour from my brother's house.
Hotter Than Hell Chapter 192: Rack
Shelby moves a towel next to Beth's hip. The woman appears unfazed. "There's string and scissors in the bag. I'm going to drop them in the boiling water and I'll be right back." She leaves the room with one of the bags.Beth's cry fills the room. Her face is filled with exertion. Things are moving so fast, but I'll never forget how beautiful she is at this moment as she brings a new life into the world. Death is cold and ugly. This is a miracle. Shelby walks back in snapping directions like a drill sergeant."I can see the baby's head," Linc shouts. "Push with the next contraction and we'll see if he's ready to join us.""She," Beth yells at him."Okay, she," he replies with an exasperated huff.Beth's loud panting fills the room until her fingers relax on mine. I'm so damn proud of her for hanging on this long and keeping her cool. "Oh, God, oh, God," she cries out."Push, Beth," I tell her. Her response is unintelligible. Shelby runs out and returns with a bowl of steaming water and

Diapers were on the list I gave Rack. I've never put a diaper on a newborn or realized how hard it is. Rack watches helplessly and I can see he's further out of his comfort zone than I am. I figure out which way the diaper goes and slide it beneath his tiny bottom. The last thing I expect is the stream of warm pee that sprays upward and soaks me. Rack hands me a towel from the stack on the edge of the bed.His lips curve up in a shameless smile. "It's never too early to teach shooting straight.""Thanks, I think he's got it down," I say with a laugh. I finish attaching the small tabs. As first diapers go it's a disaster of slightly crooked proportions.I gaze at my son and feel such overwhelming love-lopsided diaper and all. Before giving birth I refused to consider having a boy. Now, within two hours of his arrival, I can't imagine anything else. Linc loaned me a button shirt so I can breastfeed. He blushed when he brought it in, which I thought humorous. He's seen everything there is

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
