RykerWe raced to get dressed and to get out to my car. She was shocked by my car, but I didn't think much of it. It was just a car. I was worried about Deacon. He has been by my side for so long he is more like family to me. They didn't know much when they called me. The only thing she told me was that someone ran him off the road in the city and he was en route to the hospital. She was so upset I couldn't hardly understand that much. I drove faster than usual, trying to get there as quickly as possible. If he needs a specialist, if he needs money or power. I need to be there. He stays under the surface. People in this city know me though, they know the name Lorcane holds domain over others here. I glanced over at Iris, trying to get a feel for her reaction to this. She was solid, not frigid, but steadfast staring out the window. She looked brave and strong compared to my wavering state. "Iris, I am sorry you have to deal with this," I said slowly looking straight ahead. She didn't sp
IRISAs delightful as I found Deacon's family, I wish I was in the room learning how this happened. Finding out if my life is in danger. I would imagine this has something to do with the dorm fire and the note. Those were just to get his attention, this is different. This was someone who knew Deacon always drives him. This was someone who was trying to take his life. I tried to hide my worry but was unsuccessful as I noticed Jill staring at me. "What is it?" She said looking honestly concerned. This surprised me too. I was very aware of her feelings towards Ryker. She couldn't control her disdain for me when we first met. It seems I have won her over some. "This has something to do with Ryker, doesn't it?" I smiled at her and shook my head. " I don't think so. I just have a mix of emotions going on right now. Deacon has helped me in some hard spots lately. Why isn't his lady here?" I asked to try to distract from the current path of conversation. Jill rolled her eyes. "I don't know. Ma
RYKER I watched as her breathing increased when I touched her. I wanted to make her feel so good after the explosion she gave me in the car. I haven't had a woman do that before and I was amazed by it. It fascinated me the courage it took for her to place her hand there, and to put her mouth on me knowing the lifestyle I introduced to her. I wanted to show her how much I appreciated what she had done. I pulled out a wand and turned it on the highest setting. As soon as it hit her slit her eyes flew open and she tried to shut her legs. "Be still," I said pushing her legs apart again. When I placed the vibration on her clit she moaned out loudly. I held it there and pushed two fingers inside searching for her sweet spot. When I found it, I watched as he arched her back and pushed into the wand and my hand. It didn't take long for her to start convulsing and screaming out for me. "Oh, Ryk. I mean Daddy!" I almost laughed out loud as the words flew out of her mouth. "You can scream my nam
IRISI heard someone yelling and jumped up from the treasure room bed. "Hello?" I said quietly, but no one responded. I was afraid to move at first but decided I needed to make sure Ryker was okay. I grabbed a phone in case I needed to call the police or the guards at the gate. I threw on a T-shirt and shorts I saw on the bed beside me. He must have sat them there for me when he left the room. When I walked into the hall I was very quiet so no one would hear me coming. "What the fuck do you mean you can't fucking track the call?" It was Ryker who was yelling, so I walked a little faster. I heard him yell, "FUCKING WORTHLESS!" Before hearing a slam. I assume he slammed a phone down. When I got to the room his voice was coming through I was almost afraid to walk in. "Don't spy Iris, come in." He said harshly. I walked slowly around the corner but kept my eyes cast to the floor. The room was dusty, and covered in missing photos and papers, with an office desk set up, some chairs, and a li
RykerThe man was bleeding, lying on my foyer floor. I reached for my phone to call the security team for the house. How did they let him through? "Fuck!" I said under my breath laying the cool metal on the bar. I left him there bleeding and poured myself a drink. I saw Iris come running down the hall from the bedroom. She stopped and her eyes got large. "What.." She couldn't finish her thought. "He would have killed me, Iris, he could have hurt you, I had to take him out." I knew I sounded cold, but this was a first for me. It was me or him, and it wasn't going to be me still standing. I can't wait to talk to my security to see how he got through. I thought we were covered out there. I put the phone to my ear waiting for someone to answer. "Yes, Mr. Lorcane, Did we hear shots? Thomas is headed up to the house. Are you okay?" A frantic man from my security team outside was almost yelling into the phone. Deacon had ordered more security since the wreck, already, replacing the men that w
IRISI heard the voice and recognized it immediately. I jumped out of the car, "Deacon, why are you not at the hospital?" I said running over to him. He was all bandaged up and his arm was in a sling. "I had to come. The security team called me. What the fuck happened?" He sounded worried and angry. "Deac, I told you to stay at the hospital!" Now Ryker sounded angry and worried. I looked from one to the other. "Listen, boss, I am not sitting in that damn hospital while you are having hitmen show up in your house. It was the one from that fucking club? Was he connected to that group there?" He was using codewords probably not thinking that Ryker had told me anything. "Do you think it was her that called? Was it Ivy?" Deacon was still talking. "It sure sounded just like her man. Hell, I don't know. Maybe some kind of voice software?" Deacon was nodding and taking in the information. "Where are you all heading?" he asked looking back towards the security building. "We were headed to check
RYKERWhy does she keep calling me? I slammed the phone down on the table. I had walked out of the bedroom thinking Deacon was calling, I didn't want to wake up my girl. I heard giggles, and then humming in my ear. Why is she doing this? Why now? I searched and searched for her. I sat down at the bar and poured me a drink. I can't sleep like this, I can't relax, and my mind won't stop racing. Why does she keep calling me? The phone rang again, "If you are going to call me bitch, at least have the balls to say something to me!" I screamed out. "Boss?" This time it was Deacon. "She called again, didn't she?" He said quietly. "Why does she keep calling me?" I asked him the impossible question I had been asking myself. "I don't know Ryk, I will find out." He said seriously, telling me he was just as upset by it as I was. He remembers, How dark I got when she disappeared. I thought it was my fault. I thought I had put her in danger. It sounds like she wasn't in danger at all. She left, wi
IRISWhen the text came in, I was still half drowsy. I picked up my phone and stared at the screen until my eyes focused. It was from my mother. Someone had called her, from California, asking questions about me. I sat up quickly. I wanted to shake Ryker, to wake him, I was frightened that someone had found my mom in Ohio. He hadn't slept well, tossing and turning most of the remainder of the night. I walked quietly to the kitchen and called Deacon. "Someone called my mom Deacon. Why would they do that? They were asking about me?" I said scared one of these crazy assasans was looking for a way to retaliate. Deacon was quiet. "Hello? Do I need to wake Ryker? What do I need to do?" I said again, with no response. "Iris, I.." He hesitated. "What?" I said getting impatient. "I called your mother." My mouth must have dropped to the floor, I couldn't say anything. Why would he do that? Why would they be asking my mom anything about me? Why not just ask me? "How did you get her number?" I ask
