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

He opened his own clinic and sees all the locals and charges them a super small fee.“It’s a boy, congrats” The midwife smiled as she called me over and I cut the first cord.“One more boy and I win the house Phillip shared with Jane” Ryan rubbed his hand together.It turns out that was the first prize, and the second prize was the house that Phillip shared

Charlotte’s POVI woke up with a grin on my face, it was Christmas morning and today Jack would find out I was pregnant. I rolled over and frowned when I realised that the bed was empty. I heard the shower running so climbed out of bed and made my way to the bathroom with a frown on my face. “What have I told you about leaving me to wake up to an empty bed” I pouted.“I only just got up to get the shower started, I was just on my way back to you” Jack tried to explain.“Ok” I walked into his arms and leaned up to kiss him “Merry Christmas” I mumbled against his lips.“Merry Christmas my love” He smiled “Come on we need to have a quick shower”“Why?” I asked rubbing my hands up his chest.“Behave” He chuckled “I have things I need to attend to this morning and some important people arriving that I will need you to greet with me”“Really?” I groaned as I quickly showered like he asked.I walked back into the bedroom, and he walked into the wardrobe and came out with a red velvet knee le

Jack’s POVI woke up to Ryan ringing my phone, I groaned as I slid out of bed and left the room.“What” I growled into the phone.“Your delivery is here, where do you want it?”“Shit, coming” I quickly ran down the stairs and got the delivery driver to place the tree in the lounge and the boxes of decorations down in front of it. “I better go back upstairs” I told Ryan as I ran back to Charlotte. I was shocked when I entered the room and the bed was empty, but then I heard the shower running and quickly made my way towards the bathroom. I stood enjoying the sight of her naked stood under the stream of water.“There you are” She grumbled “I did not like waking up in an empty bed”“Sorry babe, I just had so sort out a delivery. I have time to join you now though” I quickly undressed and joined her in the shower. I missed looking after her, I spun her around and started to wash her hair and her body while he tried to find out about the delivery. She seemed surprised that I did not try to

Charlotte’s POVAs soon as we got home, I hid the baby grow in Ryans room and then Grant started to show me around the rest of the property. I was shocked at how large it was, they had their own orchard and grape vines. This place was amazing, lastly Grant took me to see the pigs. They are tucked away behind the cells, what made sense.“Did Phillip get fed to them?” I asked.“Yes” Grant told me. “Does that upset you?”“No” I told him honestly “I am glad that he is dead”“On that note, you now own all of the properties that Phillip and Gavin owned”“What?” I looked at him shocked“You also have all their money too”“No” I pulled out my phone and almost fainted when I saw my bank balance.“Jack has taken over their business dealings, but I am sure if you wanted them, he would happily pass them on to you”“Fuck no, he can keep them”“The Doc was wondering if he could stay in Gavin’s old place”“He can have it” I told him “I don’t need any of the houses or the money.

Jack’s POVAfter Charlotte left, I went back to my computer and booked the holiday. I decided that we would bring in the new year on a tropical island.“Do you not think it was odd that Grant was so eager to go with them?” Warren asked.“What do you mean? He enjoys spending time with Charlotte”“I know, that’s not what I mean. It just seemed like he had to go with them as he did not like the idea of Zac going”“You think that he has an issue with Zac?”“No not that, I am not sure what I think. I just think it was odd how keen he was to go with Ryan and Charlotte”“I will talk to him later at the house and find out what is going on” I told him. “I don’t think it will be anything important” I decided that I better get back to sorting out the payroll while Charlotte was gone. Since she was helping me with the gift cards, we might be able to finish work early.“Have you thought about getting tree for the house?” Warren suddenly asked.“What?”“A Christmas tree, I know we don’t usually do

Grant’s POVI went to see the Doc first thing on Monday morning, while I had been gone, he had gone though and found a few positions that he wanted to apply for. All we had to do now was sort out his resume and figure out what he had been doing for the last few years.I had spoken to one of my old mates in the special forces and he said he was happy to act as a reference for the guy if he needed one. So that’s what we added to his C.V, he had been a medic for the special forces.Once his resume was updated, he sent off for the jobs. “Now I just need somewhere to live” He sighed “I cannot keep living here”“I was going to ask Charlotte if it would be ok for you to stay at Gavin’s old place”.“No one knows were that is” Doc looked at me in shock “He kept that very well hidden”“I have the location, and the property is now in Charlottes name, it’s a nice little lifestyle block. I thought that would suit you”.“Really, is she would be ok with me staying there that would be amazing. I will

Charlotte’s POVI looked at Grant in shock “How did you?” I was starting to panic, would the others figure it out so quickly?“Oh my god, am right” He looked at Ryan “You’re a sly dog how long have you known?”“Not long, I found out the same time as Charlotte”“And that was?”“Saturday morning” I sighed “It was Grace who figured it out when I vomited after smelling coffee”“Shit, so no more coffee for you” he laughed.“Well not for the moment no, but please don’t tell Jack. I want to wait and let him know on Christmas morning”“You should go get a little jumpsuit and wrap it up for him”“That’s such a good idea” I smiled at him, I could get it embroidered with something like ‘Heir to the King’ I laughed.“Ok you have to do that” Ryan told me.“I will, but right now we should probably get back to the office before he has a mental breakdown” I laughed. I could just imagine how much he was stressing, wondering if I would come back.“You going to tell him what she told you?” Ryan asked as

Was she scared that we were lying to her about me getting drugged? I hated waiting, I wanted to leave and go home so I was there when she was finished with Hannah. But I knew that was a bad idea and I needed to be patient and wait for Charlotte to come to me.Warren came and sat in the seat opposite me “What do you think she will ask Hannah?”“I have no idea and that’s what worries me” I sighed.“Lance told me that she said something that shocked both Ryan and Grant that stopped walking in shock”“Does he know what she said?”“No, they were too far away” “Fuck I hate waiting” I growled.“You are not the only one, we all want her to come back home” Warren told me as he stood up and went back to the door.I groaned I needed something to keep me distracted.

Once Zac left, I waited for him to call me over. I was wrong yet again as he called Charlotte over instead and started telling her that he had Hannah in the cells, and he had kept her alive for Charlotte. Honestly my head was swimming right now as I watch Charlotte set rules in place for her going to see Hannah. I was impressed when Jack agreed, and I got to go with her. Yes baby, I was going to have a very interesting afternoon.Then Jack offered her a coffee, I was about to step in myself and quickly take it away. Thankfully Charlotte managed to get away herself.Jack then called Grant and Charlotte went back to her desk to wait, now he was going to call me over and tell me this job wi
