Charlotte’s POV
Jack kept leaving the room to take phone calls and he looked really stressed. I felt bad invading his office, he should not feel that he needs to leave the room to talk on the phone. I sighed as I carried on working on the backdrop for the Christmas party. Jack came back in, and I waved him over to look at what I had been working on. I asked him if he was ok and just blamed it on work, my gut was telling me that he was hiding something from me, and I had learnt to trust my gut over the years. I carried on working until Jack told me it was time to leave. I was not getting any tattoo work done today, Reece had told Jack that he would just do a whole day for me on Saturday and if I was up to it Sunday as well. It would be nice to have a couple of evenings free. I want to talk to Lance about my dance lessons, the Christmas party was not far away.
We arrived home and I started working on dinner with Jack helping me, he told the others that we wer

Jack’s POVThe worry about Charlotte been alone with Phillip was eating away at me, I needed her to be able to protect herself. I was so worried about losing her, I chose to be the one who stayed and helped her cook. I needed to be close to her, I sent the others away so that I could have some alone time with her. I noticed that she kept giving me odd looks, I knew that she would have picked up that something was wrong. I was just hoping something would come up so that I could point her in the wrong direction. Thankfully Warren brought up her self-defence lessons, I could use the face that I have enemies to my advantage and get her learning to defend herself. I would get Grant to teach her how to shoot as well, then as long as she keeps the gun on her she will be able to defend herself. I was hoping it would only be minutes that we would not be there, but you have to be prepared for the unexpected. I trusted Grant and is his men said that they would protect Charlotte th

Charlotte’s POVLance grabbed my hand and dragged me up to the bedroom. I had not even looked at the dress yet, I wondered what Jack had chosen for me. We arrived and Lance walked straight into the wardrobe and putted out a garment bag. He placed it on the bed and winked at me.“Go on then, open it”I slowly unzipped it and inside was a stunning silver ball gown. It was what I would imagine I would get married it if I ever got the chance for a real wedding. I pulled it out and ran into the wardrobe closing the door behind me. I quickly got dressed and looked at myself in the full-length mirror. You could still see a lot of scars on my arms and chest area, but hopefully by the party they will be all covered with tattoos. I opened the door and motioned for Lance to come in “So what shoes do you think?” I asked while motioning to the row and rows of shoes that Jack had bought me.“Oh my god, this is heaven” Lance gri

Ryan’s POVI tried not to laugh as Lance dragged Charlotte upstairs. Then let out a sigh “She so knows something is going on”“I know, we just have to think it’s a normal threat and nothing to do with her directly”. Jack told us.“It’s good that she will be getting training on how to protect herself. Phillip will not expect her to have a gun, we need to make sure she has it on her at the party”. Grant grinned, I could just imagine the thoughts going through his head. That man was as crazy about guns as he was hacking.“She also needs to be able to get to it, we know that Phillip will tie her up” Jack turned to face me “Can you include how to get out of a robe in your training?”“I will teach her out to get out of any restraints, relax we will make sure she is safe and able to protect herself”. I cared about her too much to risk anything happening to her.

Grant’s POVI watched Charlotte training with Grant, she was doing really well. It took me ages to learn how to escape restrains and even now I struggle. Not that I ever get caught to get tied up. I was trying to figure out a good place for her to hide a gun when we are at the party. Her dress was quite puffy, I was wondering if we could sew a hidden pocket into the back.“Hey Lance” I called out.“What?” He grumbled as he walked over to me “I was having a dance with Warren”“Would you be able to sew a hidden pocked into he back of Charlottes dress?”“Yeah, how big are we thinking?”“Just to fit a small handgun”“Once you have the gun let me know and I will make the pocket to fit and conceal it”“For such a scary looking dude, you really are a bit of a girl” I laughed.He gave me the finger as he walked back to carry on

Jack’s POVGod Charlotte was amazing, she has no problem as all getting out of the handcuffs or the rope. I knew her hands would be sore though. I would have to rub some arnica cream on them to make sure that they do not bruise.“I am going to go talk to Grant” she told me as she gave me a kiss on the cheek.I watched her go and then turned back to Ryan “She did really good today”“She did, I will contact my knife guy and see what knives he has for women. I want her to have a pretty one that she will like”“Ok, use my card to pay for it”“Na man, this is my gift to her. I am happy to pay for it myself”I nodded as I made my way over to Charlotte. I just arrived to hear her sigh “I feel like I am getting trained to be an assassin”“You would be a very cute assassin” I chuckled as I wrapped my arms around her from behind.“Be ca

Charlotts’s POVAfter all the dancing and trying to get out of handcuffs and rope, I was exhausted. I remember Jack carrying me out of the gym and the next thing I knew it was morning. I tried to nudge Jack to wake him up, but he did not even move. I tried blowing in his ear, but all that did was cause him to moan. I glanced under the covers and noticed that he was stood to attention. I grinned to myself as I crawled under the blankets and got myself comfortable between his legs. I licked the tip causing him to lift his hips up. I lifted the blanket to see his face, but he was still fast asleep. I guess I needed to do a proper job to wake him up. I took his whole length into my mouth causing myself to gag. He started to moan as I increased my speed, I used my other hand to stroke his balls. His hips started to move with me, soon I felt his release hit the back of my throat. I gaged again and then swallowed it all and then started to crawl back up him. I noticed he was a

Phillip’s POVI sat waiting for Zac to return with the security back up, I was hoping that I would find out what was going on with doc. After I had been waiting over two hours I was getting pissed off. I was just about to call him to find out where the hell he was when he turned up.“What the hell took you so long” I growled.“Sorry, doc was asking lots of questions”“What did you tell him?” Crap I thought that the doc might have left after us.“That you wanted to notice if there is a pattern of when the husband and wife go to visit Jane as you are interested in the wife”“Good save mate” I laughed “I like how you are quick to think of your feet. I also quite like your thinking and might check that out as well”. I set up my computer and inserted the hard drive “Want to make me a coffee” I called out to Zac who was walking towards the door “Also wh

Ryan’s POVAfter we practiced with the cuffs a couple more I moved on to the rope.“You might get some rope burn” I apologised as I tied her up.“Yeah, but like you keep telling me, what Phillip will do is worse”“That’s my girl” I grin at her “Now you need to be careful as rope unlike handcuffs can pull tighter”I moved her hands to show her how to get out of the rope. If we manage to hide a knife on you that would be better as you would be able to cut your way out”.“Knowing me I will probably end up cutting myself” She grumbled.“No, you won’t, with the right training you will be amazing”. I retied the rope “Now try and get out of it on your own” I told her.She glared at me as she started to slowly move her hands. From the front you could hardly notice her moving. I was impressed with how quick she was picking everyth
