Charlotte’s POV
After I stormed off from Jack I went straight to the gym, I needed to burn of some steam before I had to deal with him again. I went straight to the punching bag and grabbed a pair of gloves that were hanging up. I did not bother to get changed I just started to punch the crap out of the bag and my god did it feel good. I did not even hear Jack come, it was not until he came up behind me and started to correct my stance that I realised he was even here. I was not impressed at him coming in here and then starting to correct me. I was pissed at him and needed him to leave me alone until I cooled down, did he not understand that? Was me storming off not enough of a clue?
“Try now” he told me
I gave him the evils, but I did as he asked and punched the bag again. I hated the fact that he was right, I had more power in my punch, and it did not hurt my wrists as much.
“Did that feel better?” He asked.
My god I

Grant’s POVI tried to calm down while we all ate, but my pride was bruised, how did she managed to get a hit in without me seeing? Am I starting to get rusty? I noticed that Charlotte kept trying to get my attention and I knew I needed to stop sulking. I was supposed to be showing her how to shoot after dinner, that thought cheered me up and I finally looked up and smiled at her. How could I stay mad when she had a shiny new gun that she needed to learn how to use.“You still want to learn how to shoot after dinner?” I asked her.“As long as you are not too busy”“I will always be free to help you out” I gave her a warm smile.She returned the smile and carried on eating.“Ok Lance and Warren, I think you two are on dishes and clean up duty” Jack ordered as he stood up “I am going to do some work in my office. Grant make sure you look after my girl”“Will do boss

Charlotte’s POVWhile I was shooting, I kept thinking back about the conversation about dungeons and I could not shake the thought away that I was right. The house had plenty of doors that I had never been though, but thinking about it I am sure that they would have the door hidden. As we finished up the lesson and made our way back to the house, I started to look around figuring out where they would have this dungeon.Jack was waiting for us in the lounge when we returned “How did she go?” He asked Grant.“By the end she was hitting the bullseye 9 times out of 10”“That’s amazing” he pulled me into his arms. “We will keep up with the practice and I also want Ryan to bring in the knife training too”“Is that so that you can use me to help torture people in your dungeon?” I made sure to closely watch his reaction as I spoke. I noticed him flinch slightly and knew that I was righ

Jack’s POVI was sat in my office going though some of my less legal work, I thought I might as well get on to it while Charlotte was busy. I had received a message from one of my guards telling me that he think I have a thief among my staff. He reported that some of the stock has been going missing, I asked him to investigate and report back to me. He had just sent me images of one of my workers smuggling out drugs. I paid and treated my workers very well, so to do this was a huge insult. It looks like I would have to bring that person in and punish them. I had not used the dungeons under the house in a while, my hands were itching to inflict some pain on a deserving son of a bitch. I grinned as I called my guard.“Boss, what would you like me to do?”“When is the person next on shift?”“Tomorrow night sir”“Good, I will make sure I am waiting for him when he leaves. Find a replacement for his follow

Ryan’s POVGod, I love Charlotte’s thought patten, how could she think that we would kill her for asking questions? Does she not realise how much Jack loves her? Once we had all stopped laughing and I had removed Charlotte’s knife from the punching bag I started my training. I showed her how to hold the knife so that she could inflict the most damage without hurting herself. I also showed her what part of the body to aim for depending on what she wanted to achieve.“Sometimes you just want to inflict pain on your victim without killing them” I told her.“Yeah, that’s a skill I will need when you send me down to work in the dungeon aye”“No way, I am not letting you take away all my fun jobs” I laughed “The only things you need to worry about is how to protect yourself. Leave the messy work to us boys”She nodded her head and carried on training, I could tell that she was overth

Grant’s POVI was impressed with how well Charlotte was doing with her training, I only just noticed her hands moving to free herself. She made it look like she was freaking out, when she was really just causing a distraction so that no one would pay attention to her hands. She was fitting in with us very well, as much as I disliked change, I think she would not cause too much of a disturbance if she became a permanent fixture in our lives. After I left the gym, I went to go straight to my room, but ended up bumping into Warren and Lance as they were closing the door to the cells.“Why were you two down there?” I laughed, God are they getting that kinky now.“Jack has a thief, so we had to get a cell ready for our new guest” Lance grinned at me.“Oh fuck, Charlotte was just asking about the dungeon too”“What?” Warren looked at me shocked.“How the hell did she even find out about i

Jack’s POVI watched Charlotte train while I worked out, she was doing so well, and my heart was swelling with pride. I watched Ryan pat the chair and realised that he was about to tie her up again. Since I had been planning a kidnapping myself, I realised that we had not trained Charlotte how to work blindfolded. That will be one of the first things that Phillip will do when he gets her.“Blindfold her too” I told Ryan.“What” Charlotte screamed “Why would you do that?”“Because if I was taking someone, I would tie them up and blindfold them” I told her.“Fuck” She yelled as Ryan placed the blindfold over her eyes.I walked over to stand beside Ryan, I wanted front row seats to see how she did. Grant followed and came to stand on my other side.She started to heavy breath, but the rest of her was too still for her to be panicking. If she was really freaking out, she wo

Charlotte’s POVAll Jack had to do was wash me and my whole body relaxed, the last thing I remember was him carrying me to the bed and putting a t-shirt over my head. Then it was morning, and he was talking about phoning in sick. I wish I could agree with him and stay here in bed all day, but I knew that I needed to get the Christmas card design finished today and sent to the printer. I should have already done it by now, but Jack is quite the distraction when I am trying to concentrate. Also today was Friday, that meant tomorrow I would be spending most of the day with Reece getting my tattoo work done. I climbed out of bed, leaving Jack behind complaining.“I am the boss, I should be able to make you stay home with me”“I have work I need to finish, and I need you there to approve it before I send it off to the printers”“Fine” He grumbled as he dragged himself out of bed and followed me into the wardrobe. He wa

Grant’s POV“Message her and arrange a meeting place” I told Jane“Ok” She pulled out her phone and I stood right behind her so I could watch “Can you not watch me”“Do you want me to take you or not? I am making sure you are not fucking me over” I growled“Argh fine” She huffed as she sent the message.She got a reply instantly with an address “Are you find staying here while I dispose of her?” I asked Doc.“It’s not like I have anywhere else to go” He grumbled “I have a fucking target on my back”“I will be back to talk after I get rid of her” I pointed in Jane’s direction and then walked to the hallway to grab out a spare bike helmet and a blindfold. “Turn around” I ordered her.“Wait” She stepped back “Why do you have that?”“Because I am not going to
