Pelican Bay Security Chapter 179: Vegas
The city lights of Vegas stream by like one of those slow-motion pictures sold at all the tourist traps. Huxley slows the car and turns to the right when I point out the driveway to the apartment complex. One building down, at the end of a short little hallway, I shared a one-bedroom apartment with Archer.It feels weird being back. Like my past and present are colliding and there's nothing I can do to get out of the way. I have to brace for impact and hope no one walks away with a broken bone or worse — a broken heart.The sky is dark and many of the apartment lights have shut off for the evening. This end of the city away from the strip feels weird as well. There are no bright glowing lights and nobody is pumping in the sounds of coins hitting on slot machine trays. They moved to audio equipment to create the same feel of winning for people even though all the slot machines in Vegas now work on a credit system. You put in your money, but all you get out is a slip of paper that te
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 180: A Date with My Past
It's not that people in Vegas are more suspicious of cops than other people in the country. It's that the cops here... leave a bit to be desired. I'm sure it's because they live in the world full of sin and have their hands full, but most people in our apartment complex aren't going to willingly give out information or turn someone over to the police. We don't work that way. Even the law-abiding ones of us know what it takes to survive in the desert."Yeah, I saw Archer the other day." One of the neighbors leans against his doorway not letting Huxley see inside his apartment as he answers. I'm surprised he gives this much. My ears immediately perk up to hear better. Robert shared a wall with us for the last two years but we never really talked to him. Archer helped one of them move a couch once, but that's about it."He say anything to you last time he saw him?" Huxley asks."He borrowed thirty bucks from me and said he was going to... Somewhere on the East Coast."Huxley's onc
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 181: Talk you into it?
He tilts his head, his eyes widening as he waits. The small borough of excitement flutters alive in my chest. At the same time, it doesn't seem as late anymore and I'm not quite as tired as I was a few minutes ago.But a girl doesn't give in that easily."You might be able to persuade me."Huxley smirks, his lips pinched together but still happy. "What about you take off your pants and lie in the bed and we'll see if I can talk you into it?" He tugs his shirts from his chest. The hard lines of muscle shimmer in the lights as his body flexes with the movement. I lick my lips looking at the tone muscles he received either in the military or working on a farm in Hawaii. I don't care where they came from. I'm only glad they're mine.I sit on the bed not ready for our game to end. "And what if I don't? Will you make me?""Maybe I will." He stalks to the edge using slow and deliberate steps.A shudder runs through my body the closer he gets until we're a hair's breadth away. Huxl
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 182: Family dinner
"Glad you guys could make it before dinner," she says wiping her hands on a white lace apron wrapped around her waist. "We need to get it now before it gets cold.""Hush, Kimmy. We're getting reacquainted," her mother says."Seems like we can get acquainted at the dining room table just as easily as out here in the heat," she says not wasting any time walking back into the farmhouse.It is a little hot. Especially since it's only May. We stopped wearing jackets in Pelican Bay, but that doesn't mean it's warm there. Anytime the snow melts off the ground and temps hit above fifty, people in Maine act like its summer, but I'm still freezing there.Huxley leads us into the house and into a large room off the living room. A table big enough to seat twelve fills the space and his sister drops off two additional plates, the ceramic clinking against the wood as she haphazardly drops each one."I thought there was a chance you'd make it, so I made your favorite," Huxley's mom says bri
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 183: Archer
"Don't respond," Huxley says reading the text message over my shoulder."Hey!" I pull the phone away from his view. I wouldn't hide it anyway, so there's no need for him to go snooping. "Don't you think I should ask where he is?"Huxley narrows one eye, staring at me, but not seeing me as he thinks. "Yes, but only say that, 'where are you?' And nothing else."I grit my teeth enough it stops me from rolling my eyes. I'll chalk it up to him being tense because of the situation not because he thinks I'm a moron who can't handle a simple message."You want me to send it for you?" he asks when I don't immediately type out the message.Remember, he is under a lot of stress, Winnie. You can't fault him for wanting to keep you safe.I give myself the reminder twice more before I'm ready to look in his eyes without screaming and shaking him by the shoulders. Then I calmly respond as I send the message to Archer.WINNIE: Where are you?His reply comes in less than a minute as Hux
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 184: She's Trouble
I moan, not willing to argue with him, because if this is what trouble looks like I'm okay with it. My hand slips beneath his pants and my fingers skim along his already hardening cock. He twitches and I smile."Roll over," I say, pushing on his shoulder. It's time I pay Huxley back for our night in the hotel.He smiles and listens quickly once I tug on his jeans again and he figures out what I want. "Normally I would say no. Not before you get yours, but since this has been a fantasy of mine since middle school I'm going to shut up.""Shutting up is good."Hucks lies stretched out, his shirt cast to the side and his muscled chest on full display. I start there because I can't stop myself as I reach out and use my tongue against his left nipple. My hands work on his jean button as I lick his nipple before biting down a fraction.With his pants open, Huxley pulls them down to his knees. His dick springs up when freed and my attention moves south. I've only done this for Huxley
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 185: Home
"Winnie, you can open your eyes. We're home."His words do nothing for me. "Wheels on the ground?" I clarify with my eyes closed.Huxley chuckles. "Yes, that was the big bouncing a few minutes ago.""You promise?" I believe him... Maybe. My stomach flew into my chest at one point during the bouncing so I also feared we took off again and we're circling the Pelican Bay airport for the delight of the pilot so he can land again and watch my expression. If he does, I will puke on something. His shoes."Princess, get off the plane." Huxley squeezes my fingers giving a slight tug on my hand.It works, but I'm not happy about it. I stand with my eyes still closed and slowly open them, looking out the side window to confirm we are planted firmly on the ground. The plane steps have even been dropped and Huxley and I are able to walk right off the plane. I may not enjoy the actual flying, but it sure is nice not to have to go to baggage or security. He stops to thank the pilot and I sp
Pelican Bay Security Chapter 186: Screwed Up This Time
He sighs settling into my couch to get comfortable like he's here for the long haul. "Yes, Winnie." His words are tired as if he's been on the run and not sleeping for the last two weeks. Probably because he has."You don't get to put Winnie in danger. Get out."Archer quickly stands but doesn't move to the exit.I put myself back in between the two men both my hands pushed out. "Shut up. Both of you!" Why is every male in my life so damn frustrating?Archer takes another seat on the couch and Huxley paces in the corner of the room, but he's calm enough I believe it's okay to lower my hands."Archer, tell me what happened." My heart thrums loudly in my chest. I'm too agitated to sit down, so I stand a few feet from the couch listening as he talks."I was running an underground gambling ring with Jensen. You remember him, right?"I nod. Of course, I remember his friend who always had a floozy hanging off his arm. He drove the loudest motorcycle I ever heard in my entire li
