Pelican Bay Security Chapter 146: Have a Good Time?
I do my absolute best to walk back to the room at a reasonable pace. I am, after all, on my way to call back my crazy mother. Not tell off the asshole I'm sharing a room with in this godforsaken motel. I'm forced to turn a corner and Antonio's view is blocked from seeing what room I'm staying in from the corner of the restaurant blocking his view Lukis has the only key, an actual key, not those handy-dandy key cards every other motel has used since the nineties.At moments like this, I miss my slightly classier hotel. With the nice carpet and indoor pool, I could have lived there. Since I'm trusting Lukis to have the door unlocked and be waiting for me, with his hard-laced smirk — or frown since they're the same — I don't slow my steps as I get closer. I turn the handle on the door and throw it open to the room. The heavy wooden door files against the wall, banging loudly."Have a good time?" Luk asks with his smirky frown.I want to wipe the filthy smirk off his face. "How in he
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 147: What an Ass
The diner looks the same as it did when I ate here with Lukis. Probably because it happened two days ago. Except this time, rather than eating with a man who has a shady past that makes me curious, Antonio's past makes me nervous. Sure, I haven't seen Antonio's bag of guns, but what is he doing to have somebody chasing him with an arsenal of them? It can't be good."This one is nice," Antonio says to the large man following two steps behind us as he walks with his hand on the small of my back, guiding me to a booth in the middle of the restaurant.I try to sit on the seat opposite him, but he waits until I pick a side and sits next to me. His big honking goon slides across from us, scowling in my direction. Antonio didn't take time to introduce us when I met him by the office five minutes ago. The longer this goes on, the more I'm assuming we're supposed to pretend he's not there.The restaurant is nowhere near full but enough people are here to create a small noise level, which
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 148: Disgusting Eating Habits
Rather than answer, I shove half a sandwich quarter in my mouth and take my time chewing. Let's hope my disgusting eating habits will turn him off from more perusing.The phone rings halfway through my second section of sandwich—the most obnoxious ringer I could find to alert me of Lukis' call. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it... and also to give a good indicator of how much he annoys me. A wave of tension rolls off of me, releasing me from its icy grasp. My shoulders slump, and I breathe a sigh of relief. No more playing nice with Mr. Crazy Man. Even I'm not stupid enough to hang around. I don't plan to be mean to him either, but it's time to make my goodbye excuses."Do you need to answer that?" Antonio asks as I reach into my back pocket and silence the phone.I shove the last bite of sandwich in my mouth and chew as fast as possible. "My mother again. I'll call her back when I get to the room."Antonio's face falls. "Does that mean we'll be cutting our afternoon short
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 149: Promise You Won't See Him
The kiss continues until I'm gasping for breath when he pulls away."Promise me you won't see him tomorrow."I pull in a gasp of hot air from around us. "I promise."Lukis is wearing the same clothes he was when I left him, a Buffalo plaid button-down shirt, and without waiting, I unbutton it. Our tongues duel for possession of my mouth. My fingers scrape against the muscles on his upper chest, and I pull him closer. Needing to touch him.The second to last button is tight and won't fit through the buttonhole, so I fist the material and pull the shirt apart, exposing his muscular chest."Damn, Sugar Lips, this is one of my favorite shirts." Lukis steps back, allowing the shirt to fall from his shoulders, a huge smile displayed on his face.I shrug. "Don't worry. I'll buy you a new one."My pussy clenches as Lukis rubs his pelvis against mine, his belt digging into my jeans. His hands slide up either side of my body, taking my shirt with them. Luk's face falls between my b
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 150: What a Pity
The heavy fall of rain against the weathered plastic tub is enough to lull me back to sleep... Almost. If I were vacationing somewhere in Hawaii, I could close my eyes and pretend it was a midmorning storm happening outside my window. But as my eyes slowly peel open and I take in my surroundings, I'm reminded that I'm not in Hawaii with lush green vegetation. No, I'm in the desert. Still stranded at the Last Chance Motel.The sound of rain outside the motel window isn't what wakes me. It's the noise from my sexy as hell roommate showering. My ears strain to listen, but there's no sound of singing.What a pity.I bet he has a wonderful signing voice. Lukis can do such marvelous things with his tongue.Being stranded in this shady little motel in the middle of nowhere turned out not to be such a bad thing once Lukis became involved. Fate was looking out for me after all. At first, the thought of spending my birthday in this cheap motel room was anything but exciting, but after sp
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 151: A Dreadful Place
"It's a little distance and dreadful place to eat. But it's not the motel restaurant so it will do for us. I never like to meet my business acquaintances close to where I'm staying," he says, sounding like a gangster."That sounds reasonable," I answer, even though it sounds not reasonable at all. How did I get wrapped up with two crazies?"I'll pick you up at four. Make sure you wear something suitable for the truckers," Antonio says, laughing as he ends the call like he made the funniest joke in the history of jokes.The bathroom door opens. I missed the water turning off over my phone conversation. Lukis steps out into the main room with his lower half covered only by a towel.Pity to waste such a view."Who were you talking to?" Lukis asks as I hurry to stuff the phone back under the bed."My uncle." The lies slip right out of my lips. I'm getting better at the subterfuge. "So, what are your plans?" I ask to hurry and get the attention off my fake phone call.Lukis un
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 152: Work of a Spy
"What are you listening for?" I ask as Lukis hunches over his laptop. One ear bud rests in his right ear as he watches the grainy picture of Antonio and one of his goons talking in his motel room.Antonio's room has been upgraded and redecorated unlike ours. The bed sheets are a light color, which shows up white on the infrared computer screen video feed. Antonio sits at a small round table reviewing a stack of papers. Every few minutes, he signs the bottom of one and flips it over onto a pile sitting to his right. Gooney, who's followed him around since the first day but still has no name in my mind, lounges on one of the double beds. Every few minutes, his hand flicks up, waving the television remote at the screen, probably changing the channel. From the angle of the camera, I can't see what he's watching."Antonio took over the business from his father. It's a standard practice. Every few years, he gets together with another member of organized crime from Oklahoma. In a leather
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 153: It's Not the Ritz
"Well, it's not the ritz, but it's the best we can do in our current location," Antonio says, opening the door to the local truck stop. It's the only place besides the motel diner to get food around here.The place is like I pictured it when Antonio said we'd eat at a truck stop. Old leather booths and a long countertop where guys eat wearing baseball caps hunched over a plate of food. There's a bathroom to the side and at least four pots of coffee brewing behind the counter. I've never been a person to drink coffee in the afternoon, but my years of hospitality have shown me I'm the odd one out. People drink the brown sludge any time of the day.Antonio and his briefcase pass me as he slides into the booth first. The corner of the leather box bashes me in the knee. Everyone sure is going to a lot of trouble for this outdated piece of luggage that's older than I am.As soon as the three of us — me, Antonio, and the aptly named Gooney — sit, a waitress plops down three menus and as
