Billy got the salad and a variety of dressings.“Ready to testify tomorrow?” he asked after we’d all gotten our food on our plates.I choked. Jacey pounded me on the back. “You don’t ever mince words, do you, Billy?”“Nope,” he replied. “I kind of figured you two were nervous, and I thought we’d tal
“Ah, the road,” I reminisced, remembering all ten thousand lakes. I also remembered Jacey going outside her usual comfort zone and getting a bit naughty with Hansen and Bea around.This place didn’t have quite the same vibe. This was Billy’s home. Neither of us wanted to make him feel uncomfortable
-Jacey-Caleb’s strong arms really were quite sexy. I mean, not that he wasn’t ripped before, but now he was super ripped.He carried me down the hall to our bedroom as though I weighed nothing. I turned the knob and he bumped it shut behind us. He laid me down on the quilt-covered bed, blue and cot
When I came, I wasn’t expecting it. Maybe it was lack of practice, or maybe it was just the magic he was creating between my legs, but fireworks went off all over my body and I moaned loudly, my hands going from the sheets to grip Caleb’s hair and hold his magic tongue just where it was.He slurped
-Caleb-We white-knuckled it in the back of Officer Alexander’s car, me laying across the floor, Jacey laying across the back seat. He’d suggested we go in separate cars, but we’d refused. If someone was being kidnapped or killed this time, we were going together.This time, Officer Alexander was dr
She took my hand, and I pulled her out as well.Six agents surrounded us immediately, a seventh switching with Officer Alexander and driving the unmarked car away.Officer Alexander muscled his way into the phalanx to stand next to us. “Keep your heads down.”We both ducked.Together, the whole grou
“What?!” I yelled. I glared at my mother, who at least had the decency to look at the floor. “I was kicked out of the house when she ‘assaulted’ you, and the way Jacey tells it, she pushed you out of the way because you were blocking the door!”My mother hugged our brother against her like a shield.
-Jacey-I sat in a little side room with Caleb and Officer Alexander, the stuffy FBI agent and a few others stationed outside the door. Caleb winced at some bad coffee—I hadn’t even bothered to try it—but Officer Alexander seemed to be enjoying it. Hours ticked by on an overhead round-faced clock. I
“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
