Life stopped being perfect when Jared arrived early at the jobsite office. Enrico was already in the trailer waiting for Jared and Vincent. Enrico worked with Jared, helping him with security.While Vincent ran the entire operation, Jared's job was security and managing the work crews. The legitimate side of their business. Jared also did the occasional odd job that could be considered illegal, sometimes running point when Vincent wasn't available. Which had been happening more and more lately, since Vince was settling down with Jenna and the kids.Jared raised a brow at Enrico as he pushed the door open to the trailer. He'd been expecting to have a few minutes to himself. Grab a coffee and settle into the boss's seat to go over the security details before Vince came in. Instead he was met with a grouchy, tattooed ex-biker."What's up with you?" Jared asked, dumping his helmet on the couch."The McDonald's up the road is closed for renovations. Couldn't get my morning breakfast
Amy had been looking forward to going over to Jared's all day. She spent the entire day, even the hours at work, contemplating what she was going to wear, what she was going to say, and how she was going to get her sisters to behave without embarrassing her.She texted Teagan the dinner invite, but he didn't text back. Amy was disappointed but not surprised. Teagan had been growing progressively more difficult over the past few months, a development that worried her, but according to their social services worker wasn't uncommon. He'd experienced the same trauma as the rest of them but being older than the younger two made him more aware of what had happened. Rather than bonding with Amy, as she'd hoped he would, he was pulling away.Amy did a little twirl in front of her mirror. Jared had seen her wearing sexy, her crop top and short shorts, he'd seen her wearing slutty, her teeny tiny bikini, now he was going to see her sweet and summery side. She chose a floaty turquoise dress wi
Jared held Amy against his chest, running his hand over her hair and giving her the time she needed to calm down. Jared was getting the distinct impression that Amy had a lot going on in her life, between her difficult brother and her murderous father. Though her two sisters seemed to listen to her, they were still a handful. From what he'd learned so far, Amy helped them with their homework, fed and clothed them, made sure that they were able to get to their play dates on time, even if that meant busing them there and then busing them home.Jared had the intense urge to make Amy's life better. But they barely knew each other, and he couldn't just take over a woman's life, adopt her siblings, and possibly make more babies with her, without at least some discussion with the woman in question.For now, Jared would feed Amy and her sisters, and they would worry about the rest later. He gently disengaged from the hug, set Amy away from him and swept her with a look. He set her hair
Jared followed Amy back to her house where she spent half an hour helping her sisters get ready for bed. She threw a distracted smile at him as she went streaking through the living room in search of a stuffed unicorn named Clarence. Then, she ran back through the living room with a multicoloured toy in her hands.Jared grinned to himself, stretching his arms across the back of the sofa. He didn't mind waiting one bit. He was enjoying this small glimpse into the domesticity that went on next door to him.Finally, after another five minutes, Amy dropped onto the sofa next to him sighing loudly. She looked tired but satisfied, as though she loved the bedtime routine. Jared wanted nothing more than to drag her across his lap and plunder her with kisses. Maybe even go to second base and put a hand up her shirt.But first, he needed some information. "Your dad called today. Want to tell me about it?"Amy's face dropped in disappointment and she shrank back on the sofa. Jared didn't
The following weeks were some of the best that Amy could remember. Jared came over almost every day, his hands piled high with something new. Either dinner, toys for the girls, or something to make Amy's life easier. It became such a routine that Millie and Sarah would watch out the front window expectantly each afternoon for Jared's arrival home from work. He waved at the girls, going to his place for a shower and then making his way over to theirs.Even Teagan was beginning to like Jared. Or, more like he met and worshipped Jared's bike. Jared also promised to take him for a ride, which helped ease any potential animosity. Teagan had come home for more clothing to take over to his friend's house and had walked in on Jared and Amy sitting on the sofa watching TV. At first, he'd been standoffish and angry. His usual attitude. But once the guys started talking bikes, tattoos and other things a teenage boy might be interested in, Teagan loosened up enough to actually have a respectf
As if reading her mind, Jenna reached out to touch the back of her hand. "Hey, it's not a big deal. Honestly. I think it was a mutual split. They tried dating but were too different to make it work. They each went their separate ways, no hard feelings. They still talk when Jared comes over to the house."Somehow, that last bit didn't make Amy feel better. "Jared and I don't have much in common," Amy mumbled.Jenna blushed and set her fork down, a worried expression on her face. "I'm sorry, I'm really bad at this. I shouldn't have said anything. Honestly, there's nothing going on between Jared and Sharon. He has no feelings for her other than friendship. Trust me. What he feels for you is way different. It's like, when he's on the job or at the house his mind is always on you and there's always this half smile on his face. Not something I've ever seen before. He adores you and dotes on your sisters. You have nothing to worry about."Amy sighed deeply and shook her head as if tryin
Jared was in the middle of explaining to a rapt audience of two young girls how it was entirely possible to have pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs and all the amazing breakfast food they could possibly want, for supper. Apparently, this was not something their family had ever done. Breakfast for supper was a go-to meal for Jared. It was easy, comforting and filled his belly with bacon. Jared loved bacon almost as much as he loved sex.Jared's brain immediately latched on to Amy and he nearly groaned out loud, closing his eyes for a few seconds as her luscious curves filled his mind. Then, he gave himself a sharp reminder that there were two children in his kitchen and his brain absolutely could not go there.As he turned back to the stove to check on the bacon, as if she had been conjured up from his imagination, Amy came hurtling into the kitchen."Amy!" Millie called out and threw herself at her sister. Millie was the youngest and more prone to wanting physical contact with he
Jared called Avery, head of jobsite security. He'd asked Avery to look into Michael. Avery picked up on the second ring. He didn't even pause before launching into an explanation. "Just heard your girl's place got broken into. I'm on my way over, gotta talk to you." He sounded out of breath, like he was running. Jared heard the slam of a car door. "Got some bad news. Michael Funk was released from prison this morning. According to his attorney there's evidence his wife slipped and fell in the bathtub and that his client was falsely accused.""That's bullshit," Jared exploded. "Amy heard and saw what happened.""Yeah, her statement held a lot of sway over the jury during the trial. I think it's probably what got him put away."Jared's gut twisted as he imagined an 18-year-old Amy going through police interrogation and then being questioned by lawyers. The whole process must've been exhausting and terrifying."Still doesn't make sense, man. Even if his conviction was overturne
"You know you're my favourite client, right?" Amy said in a smooth sexy voice.She closed her eyes and ran her hand over her breasts and down across her thigh."Want to know what I'm wearing?" she asked in a husky voice. "I bought it specially for you."The deep voice on the other end indicated he wanted to know what she was wearing. "Well, to be honest, it's not much. Just a lacy red thong with a see-through top that my breasts barely fit in. I couldn't afford enough fabric to cover everything."She played with the fuzzy edge of the teddy where it pressed against her breasts. "Oh… you want to be my sugar daddy? Wow, what an opportunity. How could I possibly turn such an offer down?"The voice growled that she better not turn him down.She giggled. "Tell me what you want to do with me, and I'll think about it."He started speaking, telling her that he wanted to touch every part of her from her perfect nose to her neck, to her full breasts, to her plump little pussy lips.
"Let me take care of the Ghost situation."Jared was on the top floor of one of the job sites, wearing his hard hat and directing the rest of the project.Jared turned as Enrico spoke. "You have a plan?""Yeah, sort of. I know the sister of one of the bikers. Think I can get to her."Jared frowned because he hated the idea of women getting mixed up in their business and Enrico wasn't exactly known for his gentle touch. Jared didn't have a lot of choice though. He had to keep the legitimate side of the business running and he was too busy dealing with the fallout of Amy's situation to work on any more problems. Finally, Jared nodded his assent. "Run your plan through Vince first, but I'm sure he'll be good with it.""Yeah, he's not the soft touch you are. He won't mind if I use some biker chick to kill the heart of our problem.""And that's why I have a sweet thing in my bed and you don't," Jared couldn't help but point out. The guys were always ripping him up for his sof
Jared hadn't wanted to leave Amy for the day, but he had to get back to work. One of the job sites had been broken into overnight – tools stolen, graffiti on the side of the building, windows broken. Jared's job was to direct the employees on cleanup, get the tradesmen working again, and find out who vandalized the site.He had placed security on his house to keep Amy safe, which helped him feel marginally better about leaving her alone, but she was always in the back of his mind. He hated that her father was free to harass her and her siblings. He needed to hunt the guy down, figure out what his deal was and then decide what to do with him.At the job site, it was becoming clear that the place had been ransacked by someone with an agenda against Vincent and Jared. Though it was made to look like an unprofessional job with the graffiti and the missing tools, whoever had done it had gone for maximum damage. They'd ensured that the job would be set back by weeks, losing the company t
Amy wasn't sure how long she was out, but she woke up sprawled out on a concrete floor, her cheek pressed against the rough coldness. She blinked a few times and jerked her hand up to her head. It hurt like a motherfucker. She couldn't wait to get her hands on the person who'd done it.Her father. It had to be. He must've set fire to the house to cause a distraction and then attacked her, somehow knowing that she would run into Jared's house. He must've been watching them.Amy groggily pushed herself to her knees, her ears ringing and her eyes blurry. She blinked a few times and realized she was in Jared's garage, in front of his SUV. As the pain began to clear, she heard someone moving around nearby."Did nothing to deserve this. I made one mistake… one goddam mistake and the whole world treats me like a villain. I'll show them."Amy swung her head around and spotted her father, pacing near the door."You killed our mother," Amy snarled, her voice raspy. She glared at the
Amy and Jared did end up having a conversation about her factory job and it ended pretty much as Jenna had predicted.Jared told her that she'd have to quit her job and she didn't have a choice, that he didn't think she should be working at a job like that anymore. With the long, painfully early hours, the poor pay and lack of advancement opportunities. He wanted her to consider going back to school. Which all did sound wonderful, but Amy had to make him see he couldn't just map out her future for her. Especially not after only a few weeks of dating and a day after the I-love-yous were said.When Amy tried to argue with him, Jared stood firm. When Amy finally relented, Jared took her to bed. A satisfied Amy lay sprawled across the mattress, heaving for breath and wondering where her backbone was. She'd just been dicked into compliance and she didn't even care.She glanced over as Jared was putting on his clothes, getting ready for work. "Aren't you going to be late?" He usually w
The two women continued chatting and unpacking until it was time to go pick up Millie and Sarah at their friend's house. Amy had planned to go by herself, but Jenna insisted on driving her. Amy was starting to suspect that between Jared, Jenna, Vincent and Enrico, there was a plan that she and the kids never be alone.As they drove, the two women continued to chat. "So, when is your last day at the factory?" Jenna asked, her tone casual."Last day?" Amy asked. "No, you have it wrong. I still work there. I go in tomorrow at 5:00 AM.""Oh, I'm sorry. Jared told me you wouldn't be working there anymore. I assumed if it hadn't already happened, that your last day would be coming up soon."Amy frowned. Had Jared really said that? She doubted Jenna was lying, but maybe she misheard. Then again, Jared could be a little high-handed. He tried to couch his arrogance in protective attitude, but he still sometimes overstepped. Amy was okay with him doing whatever he wanted for the girls, t
The next day Jared moved Amy and the kids in with him. Amy had tried to protest, but it'd been weak. The reality was, she didn't want to stay in her family home anyway. And now that she and Jared had sex, she was even more convinced that he was the man for her.Super hot. Check.Sexy as hell. Check.Good with a barbecue. Check.Fucking phenomenal in bed. Check.Protective. Check.Had an ass that she could bounce a quarter off. Check.Yup, the man checked off all of her requirements for long-term boyfriend. He didn't even seem to mind that she worked part-time as a phone sex operator. She'd be willing to give it up for the right guy, but even better if she didn't have to. She made decent cash at it and it fulfilled the secret dirty part of her soul.Vincent, Jenna and Enrico showed up to help with the move. Jenna mostly hung out with Amy, helping her unpack over at Jared's house, while Vince and Enrico helped Jared move boxes, furniture and toys. Enrico was starting to g
Amy was not a shy woman, but it took a lot of guts to open that bathroom door when she'd heard Jared groaning on the other side. She'd seen enough porn, and been in enough phone sex calls, to know exactly what was happening on the other side. She'd hesitated, but finally pushed the door open. She was ready to take their relationship to the next level.After using her hand and her mouth to finish him off, he'd given her a kiss that had stolen her breath and soaked her panties. Well, it would've soaked her panties had she been wearing any."Can we fuck now?" she asked him."Gotta give me time to recover. As much as I want to fuck that delicious body, this guy…" He waved towards his cock, which was now in a half salute. "Needs a few minutes.""Oh, okay." She was disappointed, but she understood. Guys needed time before they could go for another round.Jared backed her out of the bathroom and into the bedroom where he swept her off her feet and up into his arms. She squeaked as h
Very gently, he moved her hand away from his crotch, then slid out of the bed and stood. He made his way into the bathroom, closing the door before turning on the light. He just needed some relief and then he could go back to sleep.Standing over the toilet, he took his cock in hand and started to stroke himself. Closing his eyes, he was able to easily conjure up an image of the woman just feet away from him on the other side of the door. Her body was a work of art. Every curve smooth and supple enough to fill his hands. Her long black hair was so soft, it didn't seem real. Her beautiful face, lips, neck, breasts. Everything about her was bliss.He imagined what her pussy would look like. He'd forced himself not to look earlier when they bathed together, knowing he was too close to the edge with her. Was it bare? Or did she keep a landing strip? Did she go full bush? Jared didn't have a preference. He'd liked pussy no matter how it came and left the landscaping up to whoever he was
