Ryan’s POV
I did not realise how much Charlotte had gotten under Jack’s skin until he basically told all the women in the office to back off or get fired. I bet if Charlotte flirted with him, he would be perfectly fine with it. I smiled as I wheeled Charlotte to her office and helped her organise her desk so that she could work comfortably. Once I was happy that she could work comfortably I walked over to the door and watched the other staff milling around while listening in to them. I was soon forgotten about, and they stated talking freely like I was not there. The things they said about Charlotte started to piss me off. They thought that she was shagging Jack. I knew that we would need to do something, or I was scared that they might actually go after her. We already had to protect her from her crazy husband, I did not want to also worry about the stupid women in the office as well. I kept glancing back at Charlotte, but she was so focused on her work I do not

Phillip’s POV I stayed while the doctor sedated Jane and set up the IV’s once I was happy that she was asleep and not going anywhere I left. I needed to pack up the house, she still had family that might look for her. I needed it to look like she had decided to just up and leave. The good thing about that was that she had not introduced me to her family yet. This had been her place and I had just started staying here and giving her money in cash of course. We can not have any trace back to me, I had not even given her my last name. She just knew I was Phil, and I was a plumber, she really had been a stupid bitch. Soon enough I had everything packed and Zac arrived with a moving van. We loaded everything up and took it to the same warehouse. The clothes would come in handy for some of the girls who worked for us as whores. The sweet dresses would work for the other girls that we kidnapped and sold. The buyers always liked them to look sweet and innocent. I was just about to l

Charlotte’s POVLunch was amazing, well apart from Jack who kept been nice to me. His leg kept rubbing against mine and it made me feel things I did not want to feel. Jack was a player, and I was not his type, these feelings would just hurt me in the end. I tried to focus on the meal and the conversation instead, but just when I thought I was doing well he would move and his hand would brush mine, or his leg would rub against mine. By the time we were finished and leaving the restaurant I was feeling full, but also very sexually frustrated. Jack made it worse as he lifted me into the car and one of his hands rested on my arse. I was only just starting to get the feeling back, but when Jack touched me, it was like sparks shot out and went straight to my core. The drive back to the office was pure hell, or I could think about was how close Jack was to me and how good he smelt. God, I needed help, thankfully when we arrived back he had to go back to ignoring me. I let out

Jack’s POVI had not been able to keep my body to myself all lunch, after I gave her thigh a reassuring squeeze I lost all control. It was only small things, a brush of my hand against hers or my leg pushing against hers. God, I wanted her, and I prayed she did not notice the bulge in my pants when we got up to leave. The only sigh that Charlotte gave to my touching was a blush here and there. I could not help myself and I made sure to hold her arse while I lifted her into the car. Shit it felt so perfect in my hand. I was not sure if she would be able to feel it but I sure as hell enjoyed copping a feel. The drive back to the office was too short, I knew that once we arrived, I would have to act like she was nothing to me. I was just glad that I was able to watch her in the camera, that was my new dirty pleasure. We arrived at the office, and it took all my will power to walk away without looking back. Thankfully the women had all listened to my warning and not one of

Ryan’s POVAll though lunch I noticed Charlotte blushing, I looked over and saw Jacks leg pushed right against hers. Was he flirting with her? I tried to school my face, I had never seen Jack flirt. Once we were done Jack was quick to get behind her chair so that he could push her to the car. We all stopped when he got her out and his hand went and held her arse.“The sly dog” Laughed Warren as walked over to the driver’s seat.I had to agree with him, poor Charlotte was as red as a tomato. I sat next to trying to hold in my laughter. I have no idea if she realised it or not, but she was leaning towards Jack and it kind of looked like she was trying to smell him. When we arrived at the office, I noticed the sad look he gave Charlotte before he got out of the car. She would have noticed too if she was not so busy looking at her feet. I quickly got out to grab her chair.“Look after her” Jack growled at me before he walke

Phillip’s POVI left Gavin to go do the drop to his main dealer. Once I was in my car, I pulled out my phone and rang the guy who I had at the hospital last time “I need you to go to the hospital and check on that girl again”.“I will go there now boss”.I smiled to myself as I drove off to do the drop. Once I was done, I decided to go and wait for Charlottes boss and follow him. Just as I pulled up, I saw a flash hummer leaving. I saw the guard who saved Charlotte sat in the front. I guess that they are on their way to see Charlotte. I waited a bit longer and out came Charlottes boss flanked by two of his guards. As soon as they pulled out, I followed them at a safe distance. I thought that they would be heading home, but they pulled up at the bank. I was about to get out and follow them when my phone rang.“Boss she is gone”.“What the fuck do you mean gone? She cannot walk”.&ldq

Charlotte’s POVI could not believe that Jack was paying for my tattoos with a blood Harley. I know nothing about bikes, but from the way that Reece looked like he was about to cry I was guessing it was a good one. I tried to hold my breath as Jack lifted me into the car. His hand went to my arse again and I had to hold in my moan. What the hell was this man trying to do to me. Once we were all in the car Jacks phone pinged. I was so used to his phone always going off that I did not think anything off it until he started to curse.“That mother fucker is trying to find me”.“Huh?” I looked at him confused.“Your darling husband, he has just broken into my apartment that I use as my address for everything”.He was trying to find me “He knows I am out of hospital”.“Yes, and I am guessing one of the nurses must have blabbed that you left with us”.I did not know what to sa

Jack’s POVAfter I gave Reece the Harley we left, I grinned to myself as I lifted Charlotte into the car and made sure to cop a feel of her arse. I was about to start teasing her by putting my hand on her thigh when I got a notification advising me that motion had been detected on the camera’s I had in my apartment I didn’t use. I opened the app and saw Phillip walking around my apartment like he owned the place.“That mother fucker is trying to find me”. I should have known he would start to look for me sooner or later. The good thing was he was looking at me though my legal information and not my underground information.“Huh?” Charlotte looked at me with a confused look on her face.“Your darling husband, he has just broken into my apartment that I use as my address for everything”.“He knows I am out of hospital”.“Yes, and I am guessing one of the nurses must have b

I decided to make the most of the space I pulled out my phone and sent a group text.Ryan – So who is up for a little wager?Grant – Always, what are we betting on?Ryan – How long it takes for Charlotte to move into Jack’s roomWarren – one monthLance – Fuck man I am saying 2wksGrant – Na I think she will take things slow. I am going to say 3 months.Ryan – Ha ha like how none of you said never. I am going 2 months.I wondered what Jack and Lance had spoken about for Lance to think it would only take two weeks. He did not know Charlotte like me and I don’t think that she would let her guard down that quickly. Poor Jack was so focused on ordering dinner that he did not even realise that we were all placing bets on him and Charlotte. I smiled at him happy
