*Daniel*It was the morning after the fiasco in my father’s office. I was in the shower getting ready for the day and thinking about Audry. My feelings toward her have grown warmer ever since I found out how brave she was for saving my dad’s life. My dad told me about how she had selflessly flung herself at Matthew, messing up his aim so my father only got shot in the shoulder. I smiled ruefully at the thought of little Audry reducing Matthew to a bruised and bleeding lump. After yesterday, I was looking at her in a new light. My attraction to her still scared the absolute shit out of me, but it didn’t feel like it would blow up my whole life anymore. We shouldn’t distract ourselves while we complete our mission, but afterward…Well, that was something I would allow myself to think about when we both came out of this alive. After I dried myself off, I got dressed in jeans and a gray hoodie. With my dark curly hair still wet, I went downstairs to make breakfast for
*Audry*Daniel finally kissed me and it felt like a lightning bolt hit my entire body when our lips met. He tasted sweet, like the Twizzler he was eating. I thought that as soon as we put the movie on, we were going to ignore it and make out instead. But Daniel seemed to actually want to watch the movie. Hadn’t he ever been young once over at a girl’s house and put on a movie just to make out with her? Was Daniel so out of the loop that he didn’t know what Netflix and Chill meant? He had finally gotten the hint though and kissed me. This time, our moves weren’t filled with hate, but with passion and mutual respect for one another. My saving his father’s life had been a turning point in our relationship and I believed Daniel no longer hated me.No, I didn’t think he actually ever hated me. But he hated how much he wanted me and the fact that he couldn’t trust me fully ever since he found out my true intentions when I joined his family.The turning point for me had b
A couple of days later, I woke up before the sun rose like usual these days. I went down to the kitchen to get the coffee pot started, but Daniel was already in the kitchen, flipping pancakes. He heard me and turned around to flash me a grin. “Hey, I was going to make you breakfast in bed,” he said when I joined him over at the kitchen counter. “Oh, you were?” I felt my shoulders slump. I was sad that I had woken up and missed that. “Yeah, I’ve decided that we deserve a day off today,” he added, then started to whistle a happy tune. His good mood was throwing me off. I’d never seen Daniel so cheerful, especially this early in the morning. “Did we make a breakthrough in the plans against the Taddeos?” I asked him hopefully, wondering if this was the reason for his shiny new attitude. “No, but I figured that we would work better tomorrow if we had a day off today,” he explained as he slid three chocolate chip pancakes onto a plate. I didn’t quest
I joined him on the bed, but I didn’t sit next to him. No, I straddled his lap, and his dark eyes widened slightly when I did. I was happy that we already were both undressed. This meant that my pussy could grind against his hard cock as I pleased. We both moaned at the feeling. “What would you like me to do to you, Audry?” Daniel asked me as his hands gripped my ass. He spanked me and I groaned. Since last time had been all about my pleasure, now I wanted it to be about his. I threaded my hands through his dark, curly hair and leaned down to kiss him. Our kiss was gentle and sweet at first, but then we both opened our mouths at the same time and touched our tongues together. I would never get tired of kissing him. Soon, we were both breathing hard and I felt something wet on my stomach. I looked down and saw that it was Daniel’s precum. That turned me on even more than I already was and I bit his ear. “Fuck, Audry,” he panted. Then, I slid down onto
I knocked on Franky’s door harder than necessary, half expecting Daniel to get out of the car to ask me what was wrong. But when he didn’t chase after me, that pissed me off even more.Franky opened the door and the sight of him made me forget about how mad I was at Daniel. He was a person who was usually put together in his appearance, but not today. It looked like Franky hadn’t shaved in a while or combed his hair. He was wearing a white tank top and stained black shorts. This was how I knew something was wrong. “Come in, quickly,” Franky said in a rushed voice, ushering me into his house, and locking the door behind me. I could smell a strong scent of liquor coming off him though it was only morning. What the hell was going on with him? Franky led me into the kitchen. “Do you want a cup of coffee?” he asked. “Yes, please,” I answered, mostly so that he would have one too and it would help him sober up. He made a pot of coffee. It frightened me that
When we got to the Molton house, I jumped out of the car and sped into the house. I was pretty sure I was through the front door even before Daniel or Mina could take off their seatbelts. I ran into Jace in the kitchen, but even though I wasn’t in a good mood, I knew that Jace had nothing to do with it, so I tried to be nice. “Hey, do you know what this meeting is about?” Jace asked me from the counter, taking a sip of his protein shake. “Yes, Daniel and I will explain it all there,” I promised him. “Can you attend? I heard you had a busy day.” I tried to make the comment sound as innocent as possible.Jace raised one eyebrow. “Nope, I haven’t been doing much today, honestly. I just finished a workout.”My fists clenched in anger. So, Daniel lied to me about Jace being busy and that was why Mina had to come with us. Why was I not surprised? I went to Dominic’s office, trying to control my facial expressions and push down my annoyance for his son. I knocked,
I didn’t even pause to explain things to Jace, I leaped from the couch and sprinted through the entryway and out of the front door. I ran flat out to the security gate. I saw a police car behind the gate and gasped when I saw Franky in the passenger seat. His face was bruised and bleeding and his eyes were half-open.I shouted at the guard to let them through and he did. I directed the driver in the car to park near the front door. A woman in her late forties or early fifties jumped out of the car. She had graying hair, a pretty face, and a serious expression. I immediately recognized her as Chief Sara Walker. I’d only met her a few times as a kid, but she had a commanding personality that you didn’t forget. But I couldn’t focus on her for long, I was too worried about Franky. I helped Sara get him out of the car and as we carried him up the steps, I noticed that he was half-conscious. “What happened?” I demanded. Sara frowned and had a dangerous look in her gree
I walked down to the kitchen the next morning and received wonderful news from Dr. Brady. He was standing at the coffee pot looking tired but proud of himself. “Good morning, Audry. You can see Franky now. He is awake,” he informed me. “Thank you, Dr. Brady!” I rushed to the hospital wing. After everything Dr. Brady had done for me in such a short amount of time, I felt immensely grateful to him. Whatever that man was getting paid, it was not enough. On my way there, I called Sara Walker to tell her that Franky could have visitors. She thanked me for letting me know and said she was on her way. But when I walked in and saw Franky’s face, all of the happiness drained out of my body. His face was yellow, blue, and swollen like he was having a bad allergic reaction to something. My knees went weak as I looked at the state of him. I felt so guilty. Franky heard me walk in and his face brightened. “Hey there, Audry! What are you doing just standing there?”
