Grant’s POV
I followed Jack back to the lounge.
“I need to talk to the men alone for a few minutes, are you ok if I take you to your room and then come and get you after?” Jack asked Charlotte.
“Of course, it’s your house” She smiled up at his as he lifted her up and placed her in her chair. I watched him as he wheeled her back to her room. I turned to notice that the others were all watching him as well.
Jack returned and addressed the others. “Grant has found out a lot of information on the girl we met. It turns out that she is the sister of the rat that I killed. She also has a spy in our office.”
“Shit, what are we going to do?” Ryan looked worried.
“That’s what I need to talk to you all about. The only way that I can think to keep Charlotte safe, is to move her into my office.” Jack told them.
“But you do some of your un-legit business in there&rd

Charlotte’s POV“I think I need to fill you in on exactly what we do.” Jack advised as soon as Ryan left.“You don’t have to tell me anything, I am fine been in the dark.”“The thing is I need to move you into my office to keep you safe, you are going to hear things.”“Just get some headphones for me to wear.”“What if I want to tell you?”“I am guessing whatever it is, is illegal since you have so many guns. All I need to know is that you don’t hurt women.”“I would never hurt or sell women, we deal in the supply and manufacture of drugs. Phillip works for my rival, a man who has been trying to take me down for years.”“That’s why you saved me.”“At the start yes”“And now?” I held my breath waiting for his reply.“Now I care about you and want to keep you sa

Phillip’s POVAs soon as I saw the men running towards me, I turned tail and ran as fast as I could. I could feel one of them gaining on me, but I refused to turn around and check. That would just slow me down, I made it to the fence and quickly boosted myself over. Just as I landed, I heard gun fire followed by an excruciating pain in my leg. The bastard had shot me, I could not stop, or they would kill me. I hobbled as quickly as I could to my bike. I had to hold in my scream as I swung my leg over and started it up. I did not have the time to check it out, I had to get out of here. I glanced behind me and saw that the prick was still chasing after me. It was not until I reached the road that he finally stopped. Shit that was close, if only the stupid bitch had not screamed, she would be mine right now. Since they know I am aware of where she is they will up security, I know that I will not be able to get to her now. I guess I will need Hannah after all, hopefully she

Ryan’s POVAs soon as we heard Charlotte scream, we all pulled out our guns and ran to her room. It made me feel good knowing how quickly everyone jumped to protect her. I remember when I was the only one who paid her any attention. Now she has all of us wrapped around her little finger. As soon as we arrived in her room, we all spotted Phillip. I had no idea how he found us, but shit he had some balls trying to take Charlotte from our own property. Grant ran out the door chasing him followed by Warren and Lance.“How did that fucker find us” Jack growled.“We will find out and we will her safe” I told him “No one will get to her.”“Charlotte, I need you to move to my room with me, unless someone climbs, they cannot get to it from the outside. It also means I can protect you as you are right beside me.”She looked up at him with tears streaming down her face “Please don’t let him get

Jack’s POVCharlotte was moving into my room, I was not sure if I was more excited or nervous.“I will leave you with the boys to sort out your room while I make room for you in mine.”“Are you sure its ok for me to move into your room?”“I will do anything to keep you safe, once Phillip is caught, we can re-think the arrangements” I just hoped that she would still want to stay with me once this was all over.“That’s if you don’t get sick of me before then” She laughed as I wheeled her out of the lounge. We found all the guys sat in the kitchen drinking.“Are we celebrating something?” Charlotte asked as I pushed her to the table.“Yes, we are celebrating the fact that we may get to shoot some of the bitches in the office on Monday” Ryan laughed.I looked at him confused “What are you talking about?”“The women in

Grant’s POV“Party time” I sang to myself as I grabbed down all the bottles of booze that we had. One of my hobbies was mixing drinks. I was curious of what kind of drunk Charlotte would be, I was very excited to find out. I watched Warren and Lance walk past carrying things from Charlottes room. I knew that they would not take long as I was the one who bought her clothes for her, thinking on that I needed to take that girl out shopping and let her choose some of her own clothes. By the time I had finished pulling everything out and cutting the fruit for the garnish everyone was done and had come back to the kitchen. Ryan had ordered pizza and told me that it was on its way.“Ready to get this party started” Ryan chuckled.“I think that Charlotte needs to relax and let her hair down.”“We should bet on how long it will be before they are shagging.”“Betting again?” Lance laughed &ldq

Charlotte’s POVWarren and Lance seemed to be having a blast packing my things. Warren went straight to my wardrobe and grabbed everything out in one go.“I will go and deliver this to your new suite” He laughed as he ran out of the room.“I will get sorted on your bathroom” Lance sang as he moved towards the bathroom.“I guess I will do my underwear” I chuckled as I started to throw everything into a bag. Lance and I finished as the same time. He grabbed my bag from me and left the room leaving me alone. I spun myself around checking to make sure I had not forgotten anything. My eyes kept drifting back to the French doors, I knew that Phillip would not be back anytime soon. Grant shot him in the leg so he will need to recover, but I still felt on edge been in here on my own. Thankfully Warren and Lance came back to carry me up to my new room. I felt bad them having to carry me all the time, it would be even worse

Jack’s POV I cannot believe that the guys bet on how long it would take for Charlotte to move into my room, and now they were standing naked in front of her while she checked them out. My hand was itching to pull out my gun and shoot them all. But then Charlotte looked at me and I knew that they did not matter. She was mine and no one was going to take her away from me, the men started to run and all I could focus on was Charlottes smiling face. Suddenly I noticed her shiver, I quickly pulled off my jumper and put it over her head. As soon as it was over her head, I saw her breath in my scent and let out a sigh. I grinned as I leaned over the back of her chair and wrapped my arms around her. She looked down at her empty glass and frowned. “My drink is empty, and Grant is not here to refill it” She sighed. “Nope I am back my lady” Grant laughed as he came back around the side of the house “I am way faster than the other slow pokes” He quickly got dressed and w

Charlotte’s POVAfter the boys left is started to shiver, suddenly Jack was putting his jumper over my head. I breath in Jack’s scent and let out a sigh. Jack then leaned over the back of my chair wrapping his arms around me. I was now extra toasty, I looked down at my now empty glass. “My drink is empty, and Grant is not here to refill it” I sighed as I looked back the way they all ran.“Nope I am back my lady” Grant laughed as he came back around the side of the house “I am way faster than the other slow pokes” He quickly got dressed and went back into the house.“Come on let’s go get you another drink” Jack advised as he started to push me back into the house. “Charlottes drink was empty” Lance laughed when the others noticed we were already heading back inside.“I guess someone has decided that they like drinking” Ryan laughed.“Very mu
