“Giving orders now?” Bea raised an eyebrow.“Yeah. Yeah, I am,” he replied.“Fine. Get her in that SUV. Mike, Ed, if I don’t see you at the next safehouse, I’m going to be very pissed off, you understand? Very pissed off.” She opened the back door behind the passenger seat, and Caleb gingerly placed
“Most things in this business are.” The SUV thudded over a small fallen branch, causing the whole vehicle to rock, and Bea swore.I grappled with the oh-shit bar, but the upset was over almost as soon as it had begun. “I hope the motel doesn’t mind me coming in without luggage. I don’t want to draw
-Caleb-“So,” I said conversationally once Mike and Ed had us on the road, “which one of you is the mole?”Mike turned back to look at me while Ed, who was driving, flicked a glance at me in the rearview mirror.“Um… I think Jacey might have screwed your brains out, kid, because you’re talking to tw
He gave me a hard look in the rearview mirror. “You really don’t think Bea’s going to take her there?”“I swear on my sex life.” I folded my arms defiantly across my chest.That made him snort. “I suppose I should be wary then. Bea may not trust me.”“You think rolling up without Mike is going to he
“Don’t worry. He’ll get his. Keep your head down,” Bea said as though she’d read my mind.I pressed my face to the upholstery. “Is Jacey okay?”“She’s fine. I thought it best not to get her caught in the middle of this mess,” she replied.“Good thinking.” I still felt bad about Mike.“Ed’s not going
-Jacey-I considered telling Caleb if he ever did anything stupid like that again, he was never getting any for the rest of his life. But that would have been a blatant lie, and we’d have both known it. As our kiss transitioned from forgiveness to want to need his hand smoothed down my back and cupp
“I just need to forget for a while, Jacey. Is that okay?” he whispered, kissing me and moving his thumb in to rub my clit. “Just for a little while.”“You can ‘forget’ until they come to get us,” I assured him. I kissed Caleb fiercely.“What if it takes weeks?” he asked with a hitch of sad laughter.
-Caleb-The door banged, shaking on its hinges despite the three deadbolts and the bar fortifying it.I blinked awake at the same time Jacey did, both of us sitting up, naked. “Get in the bathroom,” I said urgently to her. “I’ll handle this.”“What? Caleb, we don’t know who’s out there!” she hissed
“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
