Jack’s POV
God, I loved having Charlotte fall asleep on me. Twice now it had happened, and I felt over the moon. After all she had been though to feel safe enough to fall asleep on me was amazing. After Daisy took her away, I retired to my room for the night. I was glad that Charlotte did not notice the huge boner she had caused me. I went straight to the shower and pleasured myself while thinking about her sitting on my lap and riding me. I left the shower with a smile on my face and climbed into bed, and I slept like a baby.
I woke up in a happy mood and made my way down to the gym, I missed my workout last night because I didn’t want to distract Charlotte. I noticed Ryan was already in the kitchen on the way past. “Oh, you will get to see how Charlotte is getting on, her and Warren just went to the gym. Breakfast will be ready in about an hour” He called out to me.
I could not hide my smile as I quickened my steps towards the gym. I sp

Charlotte’s POVI felt like such an idiot, I made it to my room and instantly went to the French doors leading to the courtyard. I needed to get some fresh air and sort out my thoughts. As soon as I was outside the dams broke and the tears started to flow. I didn’t realise how much I had fallen for Jack until I saw him with another women. Daisy told me that she was going to have him, and I guess she was right. I wiped away my tears just as I head my bedroom door open and close. I quickly wiped away the rest of my tears and spun around. I was shocked when I saw Jack, I thought it would have been one of the other guys coming to get me. Why was Jack here? Should he not be up in his room shagging Daisy? I thought a saw a look of regret in Jack’s eyes, but it was gone as quickly as it appeared.“Come on we are about to leave” He turned around and left.I sat frozen, he was so cold and emotionless. He reminded me of the Jack I knew before

Ryan’s POVHe broke her, I saw the look on Charlotte’s face when she saw Daisy coming on to Jack and he didn’t push her away straight away. By the time he did push her away Charlotte had already left. I wanted to punch him in the face for hurting Charlotte, but right now I had to show the dog out.“This way” I growled as I grabbed her arm.“Ow stop you are hurting me”.“And you fucking deserve it you stupid whore” I pushed her out of the door and slammed it in her face making sure I engaged the lock before I walked back to the kitchen. I was shocked when Jack was already walking towards me. He grabbed my arm and pulled me to the side.“I need to distance myself from Charlotte until Phillip is dead. She is not going to understand, but I need you to let her know I am not mad or anything. I just need to focus and get this job done”.“You like her”.“I do

Jack’s POVAs soon as I spotted Charlotte’s face, I knew I had to do something. She was falling for me just as much as I was falling for her. I needed to stop getting distracted and put an end to Phillip, only then can Charlotte have any chance. Until that happened, I would have to keep my distance, I told her that we were ready to leave and left her. I could feel her watching me leave and I wanted to go back to her and pull her into my arms, but I needed to get rid of the baggage first. I grabbed Ryan on the way to the car, I trusted him to look after Charlotte and hopefully keep her interested in me. “I need to distance myself from Charlotte until Phillip is dead. She is not going to understand, but I need you to let her know I am not mad or anything. I just need to focus and get this job done”.“You like her”.I knew I could not deny it “I do and if it was just me, I could live with the teasing, but she has fallen for

Grant’s POVI was just getting on my bike to leave when I saw Jack storm out of the house. I was debating going to see what was going on, but then I saw Charlotte come out and just one look at her face and I knew Jack was the cause. “Fucking prick” I muttered to myself as I climbed on my bike. I headed over to the building opposite ours and scoped out the area. I did not think we would have any issues, Gavin was holed up wherever he holes up and Phillip was busy with the chick he kidnapped from the bar. I set up some cameras to watch the building and headed back down to my bike. I went straight to the house that Phillip was holding the girl captive. I had a feeling that this would be where he would bring Charlotte if he ever got his hands on her. On the way to the house Jack called me, I groaned not wanting to talk to him right now. But he is the boss, so I answered the call like a good solder. “Yep”“You mean yes boss”.

Jack’s POVI watched Charlotte leave with Grant and Ryan. Hopefully after tonight I will be closer to ending this. I ordered in dinner for the three of us and I ate while I carried on with my legal work until it was time to go to the warehouse. I walked down the stairs loving the emptiness of the office, no annoying women gossiping I climbed into the back of the car and hated the space. I wished that Charlotte was here with me, but I know that I can not bring her into this world. She would hate me if she knew what my really identity was. It made me wonder how Phillip had hidden it from her, she said that Gavin would go over and they would talk. I wonder if I could still get her to sit down with me and tell me everything. It would probably be better if I got one of the guys to do it. We drove to a garage I leased and swapped cars. I did not want to turn up in one of my flash cars, I swapped for a V8 holden commadore with black tints so that no one could see me in the bac

Charlotte’s POVAs soon as I arrived at the Gym Warren helped me get changed into some sorts and a sports bra. Once I was ready, we got straight into making me move my legs for him. I was starting to be able to move them more and more. I was so excited, I could not wait until I could walk again and then hopefully move out on my own. I was so busy concentrating that I did not notice Jack enter. It was not until Warren looked behind him and looked back at me with a smirk on this face that I looked past him and saw Jack running on the treadmill. Once I looked, I could not look away, his muscles flexed and such a hypnotic way. I was only when Warren clicked his fingers in front of me that I realised I had been staring.“I agree that the view is amazing, but we need to work on these legs of yours”.“I know, sorry” I mumbled as I went back to focusing on moving my legs. I was starting to get feeling back to them now. I guess whatever swel

Ryan’s POVI was starting to worry about Charlotte, breakfast was ready and she had still not come out of her room yet.“Fill a plate for Charlotte and make her a coffee” I called to Grant “I am going to go get her up, I know she will want to eat and get a workout in before the mega bitch arrives” I ran off to Charlotte’s room, I didn’t bother to knock and instead just ran in. I found her just about to get out of bed, I quickly lifted her up and placed her in her chair. “Come on lazy bones, we need to get you fed before that bitch Daisy gets here”.Charlotte laughed the whole way to the kitchen, and it was like music to my ears. I pushed her to her spot at the table.“Once you eat, we will go and quickly do another work out. I want to get you lifting both legs” Warren sat down beside her.“I don’t get why you cannot be the one to help me get dressed on a morning and a nig

Jack’s POVGod she was magnificent, watching her manage to lift her legs for Warren. I noticed that she kept looking over at. It made me frigging hard, and it was not easy to do my workout. I was relieved when Warren finally left with her. I finished up my workout and went back to my room to shower and relieve myself so I might actually manage to get some sleep tonight. I was just about to climb into bed when my phone went off. I looked down at the screen and groaned as I climbed back out of bed and threw on some pants. I walked to my office where Grant was waiting for me.“I think I have his location boss, if you are ok, I can go and scope it out tomorrow and place some bugs and cameras”.“Be careful, he is not as relaxed as Phillip. Gavin is a paranoid prick”.“You know me boss, I might as well be invisible. No one ever sees me”“I know but been cocky in this line of work will get you killed. You ar
