-Jacey-When I woke up, Ibrahim was not in bed, and that gave me an infinite sense of relief.I sat up, holding the sheet up over my chest just in case he was still in the room.A low chuckle emanated from the office. “It’s adorable that you think you’re going to get away with that. Go ahead and go
We were dropped off on a cobblestone street. Ibrahim put an arm around me, and it was like a vice, though to those passing by, we likely looked like just another happy couple on a romantic getaway. Maybe with the woman having a bout of motion sickness.“Smile a little. Take in the sights,” he said,
I stiffened. “You know Caleb?”“Not yet. But I’m going to,” he replied.That was some comfort, at least. “So, we’re going to be together again.”“Oh yes,” he said. “Very soon.”Okay. I could survive whatever hell was next for us as long as Caleb was there. “Go ahead and take me to him,” I acquiesced
-Caleb-I was getting tired of trunks. Fed up to my eyeballs, really. Exactly how many times and by how many nefarious organizations could a person reasonably be expected to be kidnapped? I was sure Jacey and I were approaching some kind of record.Jacey.My stomach churned at the thought of having
“Yes, well, he knew the risks,” she sniffed, squaring her shoulders. She unlocked the door and opened it.I saw movement at the perimeter, just inside the darkness not penetrated by the house’s lights, and I froze. “I think we’ve got company,” I whispered.Bea touched her ear. “Dale, wave. You’re sc
-Jacey-The cabin was huge with triangle-shaped windows under the roof line extending to the wraparound deck.“Wow,” I breathed.“It’s nice. It belongs to a senator,” Max said. “They’re donating it to the joint task force so that we can nail Masterson, the sheik, and a few others. It’s all one big t
We came together, his hot seed spilling into me just as I reached orgasm.Then we just stayed like that, panting together.I brushed a kiss over his swollen eye. “Are you really okay?” I asked him.“Now I am,” he whispered, possessing my mouth with his tongue.“Bed,” I moaned when I felt him hardeni
-Jacey-I froze, and so did Caleb, the smiles wiped right off our faces.Mike and Ed noted the change and quickly drew their weapons. “What’s wrong?” Ed asked, his voice clipped.“The only people who say that to us are the bad guys,” I gulped. “The puddle of puppies thing.”All congeniality left the
“So, I think you’ve been doing some snooping,” Ike said, leaning in the doorway.My eyes snapped upward, and I was sure I wasn’t hiding the hatred in them very well. “What the hell is all this?”“Your inheritance. You know, this makes it easier. Your grandfather and I were trying to figure out how t
I dropped the headphones and was about to go striding into the office to break up their nefarious little clique when I looked at Dawn’s screen. She’d left it unlocked.There was a folder open I’d never seen on the server before.I glanced over the monitor to make sure Dawn wasn’t on her way back the
-Will-I sat behind my grandfather’s desk, bored again. After private schools, Yale, and Harvard Business School, I was bored out of my mind. I’d followed my expected trajectory. I’d done everything expected of me.Only once did I ever step a toe out of line. Well, almost. I suggested, at one of my
-Jacey-“Mom? Where did Uncle Billy put the Fruity Pebbles?” McKenzie asked.She’d been home from her first year of college a week and had already settled right in like she owned the place. Billy had taken to hiding the Fruity Pebbles they both liked, one, because he thought it was hilarious, and tw
Shower. SHOWER!!! I stopped her jerking me off and helped her into the tub then followed her in and closed the floral curtain.Jacey went immediately for the soap, lathering up her hands and then starting to scrub me.“You’re trying to kill me, aren’t you,” I groaned when she washed my rigid cock.“
I should have been overjoyed. On some level, I was ecstatic. But anger bubbled up in me as well, and I gripped her upper arms and pushed her just far enough away that I could look her in the eyes. “Jacey, you’ve been icing me out for almost a month.”Her eyes welled with tears, but she quickly dashe
-Caleb-A month later, Masterson was in prison, and Jacey and I were back on the farm. She had spoken to me less and less as the weeks passed and was now icing me out altogether. I didn’t blame her. I’d given her false hope.But I’d been so sure Masterson was going to bungle it with Will. A bad nann
“Good luck with that. Look, I really am on your side. This plea bargain is a good thing. Twenty-five years isn’t a short prison sentence, and maybe in that amount of time, he’ll be able to reflect on his actions. Hell, I don’t know, maybe he’ll find Jesus. What I do know is Masterson can provide for
“I hear what you’re saying,” Officer Alexander replied slowly. “And Lord knows I agree with you, but there’s nothing we can do, Jacey. Nothing. Do you understand? I want you to tell me you understand before we go back out there. You can’t make a scene.”My hands balled into fists. “If they don’t wan
