“That makes you happy?” she asked.
“Haven, that makes me want to end this so we can just be together without having some things interrupt us.” He said as he kissed her cheek, and then he moved to her forehead. “I don’t want anyone to bother us right now, but we can’t do too much right now. They are outside, and you are supposed to be alone. Even in a safe room when I do have you the way I want you most, you will be screaming for

Haven sighed as she walked through her house. The day had really taken a lot out of her. Though her body was begging to just lie down, she knew they still were going to talk some more. She steadied herself for whatever would happen between them. Though she knew he was still in pain, and that was the only thing stopping him despite what he said about her screaming for him. She was going to hate informing him that no man had ever made her scream. She had very few experiences, but none of them had been anything to remember. She didn’t find that to be a thing she worried about in any way. She knew Mack was the person she had waited for since she was a kid. Now he was right there.

23“So you have a reaction to the pain killers?” She asked, and he chuckled in her into her neck. “I don’t take them since I found out.” He said, “they affect me slightly differently.”“And you found this out when?” She asked as her hand was still being pulled downward slowly. Soon the waistband of the scrubs was brushing past her fingers. “In the hospital overseas. I thought it wa

The cool air in the house was all around her. She made the call and hoped he was somewhere where he could take it. The answer was, “I was wondering when you would finally call me.”“Hi, Uncle Tony.” She said with a slight laugh. “It has been a while.”

“So, what are your plans for the day?” he asked as he sat back down on the bed. He moved his shoulder and felt that it was doing better than the night before. He was almost shocked he wasn’t in a huge amount of pain because of all the extra moving around he had done with her. He looked at it and saw the redness was almost completely gone. He then looked at her. “What did you do to my shoulder?” “What do you mean, what did I do to it?” She asked as she looked at him.“It doesn’t hurt.” He said. “Mack, I cleaned it.&r

26“Will he talk to me?” Kyle asked as they sat at the table, looking at each other. He wanted to know everything, and he knew that the man would probably keep things simple for his sister. He was an ex-cop, so things that wouldn’t make sense to her would be understood by him. He was hopeful that the man would speak to him.“I don’t know,” Haven said. “I can go ask.” “Do that,” Kyle said as he waited for her. It was a sign of trust to wait and not demand that he s

“That is simple,” Kyle said. “Haven, you aren’t taking over everything like you want to. And Mack, she won’t ever stop.”“Wonderful,” Mack said under his breath. “It is how she shows her affection for people,” Kyle said with a laugh. “I am guessing you too aren’t just friends anymore, and that is fine. I will enjoy watching this more than the others will, but the fact is we have to be very careful. The cameras that are up outside will be the first layer of security for the time being.” “Then what?&

Haven looked at Mack as she neared the back room, and he knew something was going on in her brain. She had a look of determination that he hadn’t seen on anyone since he knew her in college, and one of the girls had told her that she was nothing but a pet project for the professors. Haven had proven that even six years younger, she could do anything that someone older could do. The one thing the girl had insinuated was that Haven couldn’t turn the eyes of the men around her. Mack had to laugh at that one. He had become near obsessed with her by then. The thought of another man with her or a boy at that point who was closer to her age was enough to make him growl. She had not been interested, though, and that helped ease his brain and thoughts. He had been sure that she would have turned in on herself like she was a

The bed was comfortable even though it was smaller than most he had been on in the past few years. It reminded him of the small rack type beds they had in the military. Having her so close to him was enough to keep his mind off much of everything else. Right now, he wanted to relish in the thoughts that he was having of all the things he wanted to do to and with her. Most of all, he wanted her to know she was it for him. This was it, and if it didn’t work out between them, he would remain alone with these memories of this time. It was better than a dream. Mack had been left with many of those of the years though he could never share them with anyone else. Haven was the only woman he could never forget. The hurt and pain that her disappear

Five years later.“How silly is this?” Haven asked as she looked at Mack in their backyard, and she held up the invitation to her brothers' wedding. “They really want me to come to it without you.”“Well, you could go.” He said with a shoulder shrug.“And go with who?” she asked with a smile. “Jonathon?” “Well, you could go with him.” Mack s

The flight to Vegas was quick, and he didn’t have a real plan for when they got there. He had time to think about everything and plan this out for her. The bright lights and people were enough to keep her busy for the moment. He looked up the where they had to go to and then started walking that way. He had an idea of the things that they needed, and luckily for him, she also had everything there. He smiled to himself, and then they were in front of the building. “This is your last chance.” He said softly. “Yes, because I chose to fly halfway across the country with you to say no.” Haven said as she started up the steps and then loo

“Haven, Will you marry me so I can have you for the rest of my life?” Mack asked as he slipped something on her finger. “I wanted to finish what we began years ago and make it so we can move on to newer and better things.” “Mack.” She said. “A few days. We have been together for a few days, that is it. What are you doing right now?” “No, we were with each other every day for the last decade and more.” He said as he looked at her. The look in his eyes was e

Mack walked out, knowing that this whole thing was mostly over for them. He would have more to do when he got back to work, but now he had to begin the process of getting her on board with everything that he wanted out of their joint lives. He smiled when he remembered the small things they used to do on campus when they were there. He looked at her and smiled, and with a sigh, “I think we have some things to do.” “Like?” she asked as she looked at him with her head tilted upwards. She had no idea of the things he was planning.“Can I drive?” he

“In the hospital, when a code is called, all doctors have to respond, even ones like me, if I am there.” Haven said as she looked at the man, “I was busy getting coffee and ice. The ice in the emergency room is always the best in the hospital. I have no idea why. I went to the one that was just arriving, and that was Mack. I looked at him, and he looked at me. We hadn’t seen each other in years, but he was the same. I said his name, and the doctor who took the lead heard me. I was reassigned to the other patient because of the friends and family policy at the hospital. You can’t work on people you know.” “Sounds like a good policy.” The captain said.

“Haven, what are you saying?” Mack asked as she stared in the direction of the man.“I have seen him recently.” She said as she looked at him. “Mack, you know I remember everything.” “I know.” He said as she looked at the older man, “She is a genius. She has a photographic memory as well. If she says she saw him, she did.” “Everyone here is clean, though.” The older man said as he looked in the direction of the man, and he took a large breath of air into his lungs. “He isn’t one of mine, though.&rd

The station house was busy as people were darting everywhere around the desks. It almost looked like they were over the number of people that could be in there. However, when Mack walked in, they all stopped and looked at him. He was standing tall and in a polo shirt and slacks that made him seem almost untouchable. This was different then what they knew him to wear. Women’s eyes went wide, and the men all had a shadow pass over their faces. It was like Mack was almost a demon or something to these people. It had to be because he had made so much work for them. Haven knew that this was going to be the thing he was remembered for the entirety of his career. He was the lynchpin to bringing down an entire police department and the criminal s

The drive out of the house was peaceful though Haven didn’t know what to really expect when the garage door opened up. She was hoping this wouldn’t turn into a huge thing where she and Mack were being chased down. There was no one there waiting for them to leave. She had to smile to herself that it was nothing like what she had thought it would be. Mack looked out the windows and was slightly smiling to himself. This might be the exact thing he needed to finally be happy and free from the other department. He really didn’t want his name attached to them and all that they had a hand in. He would forever be labeled as a dirty cop if this hadn’t happened.

As he looked at them, he knew it was time for them to act. “They need me to come in.” Mack said, and she looked at him.“What?” Haven asked as she looked at him, surprised. “It is time to come out of hiding,” Mack said with a chuckle. “The main players are all taken in, including your cousin,” Mack said. “With the help of your brother, they found out enough to finally pick him up.”“Are you sure this is a good idea?” Haven asked as she looked at him. They both stood up, and he bent down to cover her mouth with
