Charlotte’s POV
All 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

Phillip’s POVI had been stuck in this damn bed for three days now and it was driving me insane. Zac came to see me each day to bring me food and let me know how the plans for Charlottes abduction were going.As I was laid in in the hospital bed feeling sorry for myself, I had a visitor. It seemed that the hacker that Zac found for me had continued working for me.“Sir, I have some information that might cheer you up”“Then you better start speaking as I feel like shit” I groaned.“It turns out that the girl is no longer with Mr Kings men”“What?” I sat up “Did they kick her out?”“No sir, it seems that she left to meet up with a woman”“Describe the woman to me”I listened as he perfectly described the wife of the baby’s father “Keep tracking them for me while I recover, don’t let anyone know what you are doing.

Jack’s POVI was shocked when Charlotte agreed to me choosing her outfit for the day. I had bought her a very short dress, it was going to fit her like a glove and show off all her perfect curves. As soon as she slipped it over her head, I was instantly hard. God I was not going to be able to keep my hands off her today. I decided that I would give her an hour to get her work done, after that I would no longer be holding back. I kept teasing her during breakfast, I just wanted to keep my hand warm by burring it between her legs. I was so focused on her and that dress that I was shocked when she suddenly asked where Grant was. I had not even noticed he was not here.“That’s right, I was supposed to tell Jack” Ryan turned to me “Grant had to go out last night and he said if he did not make it for breakfast that he would not be able to scope out the office before you arrive”“Did he say where he was going?” I asked.

Charlotte’s POVI had never been so self-conscious in my life. I could feel all the women in the office staring at me as I walked in. I was the one who never wanted to bring attention to myself and made sure to wear the long baggy clothing that hid my figure and before Jack my scars and bruises. As we were walking up to Jacks office, he reminded me that I had an hour. Fuck, nothing like putting the pressure on. I am surprised he behaved himself in the car, but then again Ryan was sat on the other side of me.As soon as I made it inside the office I raced to my desk and got started. I breathed out a sigh of relief when I realised that Warren and Lance had come to stand in the doorway and that they had left the door open. That meant that Jack should behave, I didn’t think he would try anything while they were here to see. It did not take me long to finish the Christmas card template and email it though to Jack for approval. I glanced up at him and saw he had

Ryan’s POVI was in shock when Charlotte came down the stairs, she looked smoking. I am not sure what she was thinking, but she clearly let Jack pick her outfit this morning.“Bloody hell you look hot as” I whistled “I am guessing you let Jack choose your outfit today”“Ok, I am going to go get changed” Charlotte blushed as she turned around but Jack blocked her way.“No, you’re not” He grinned at her “You’re the one who won’t stay home and have a sick day with me, so this is the alternative”“I am going to work to get work done for you” she told him as she groaned and sat down.“I think you are the only worker in history who would choose to go to work when her boss offers her the day off” I chuckled.“I have to get the card design finished” She tried to explain.“You don’t need to explain to

Grant’s POVI left the Doc in a better mood, he had faith that we would deal with Phillip and then he could be free again. By the time I got home in was 3am and I was shattered. I had a quick shower and then fell into bed. I did not even hear the others get up and leave for the office. By the time I woke up I realised that the others would be at the office by now. I checked my phone and saw a message from Jack asking me to swing by the office and give him an update on last night. I quickly got dressed and hopped in my truck. I had just arrived at the office when my phone pinged. I looked down and saw I had a message for Ryan. I opened it and I was shocked, how did he manage to find the rat in an office fun of women? I looked around and noticed that she was sat close to the kitchen. I needed to get Ryan away so he could tell me how he found her.“Should you not be at your post?” I growled.“Sorry boss” He grumbled back as he made his way to the door with me follo

Phillip’s POVAfter I hung up from Gavin, I laid on the bed stewing over what he said. I work closely with Zac every day, he never leaves his house to form a relationship with any of the guards. If he went to the warehouse, they would probably not even know who he is. Suddenly my phone pinged, I wondered who could be sending me a message, Zac and Gavin are the only people who I usually speak to and they both know that I can not see at the moment. I was about to call out for the Doc to read the message when my phone started to ring. I managed to answer it and I was shocked when it was Hannah calling me.“Did you see the picture I just sent you?”“No, I currently have bandages over my eyes”“Why?”“That would be none of your business”“True sorry”“Explain what was in the picture you sent me”“It was a picture of your wife, wearing a very short dr

Jack’s POVGrant left my office advising me that he was going to go and check out the guards at the warehouse.“Not going to ask” Charlotte chuckled as I looked back at her computer.What the hell did she think she was doing? She was mine now “Ok Warren and Lance, I need you to go out and get everyone lunch and make sure to take your time”.“You want us to leave you unprotected?” Warren asked me shocked.“Not at all, I would like you to make sure that the door to my office is locked before you leave. I have my gun and Ryan is on the door if anything happens”“Are you at least going to let us know what you want to eat?” Lance asked with a smirk.“Do you remember that burger place we went to near the wharf that time?”“You mean the one that is an hour and a half away?” Lance looked at me in shock“That’s the one” I g
