โDuty calls, huh?โ He grinned at her. โGuess I canโt blame it on the bosses this time.โHer heart flipped over. She was so in love with Zy and wanted to tell him how she felt so badly. But if she said the words, he would assume that she wanted to move in with him. Heโd expect it, even.Tessa wasnโt ready for that.โPretty much.โAs if to reiterate the fact she needed to get out of bed, her alarm clock went off next, playing a Keith Urban song.Zy laughed and rolled to his side, pressing a kiss to her lips. โNo rest for the wicked, I guess.โโNone. You poor thing.โโYeah. I guess we should get up. You want me to make you some tea before I head out?โIt was sweet of him to ask, butโฆ โYouโre leaving?โโI need a shower and a change of clothes.โโOf course.โ If he showed up in what heโd worn yesterday, One-Mile would definitely notice. โIโll see you at work. Donโt worry about the tea. I got it.โโAll right.โ He pressed another kiss to her lips, this one lingering, telling Tessa without a w
Raking a hand across his short stubble, Zy sighed. โI fucking donโt like this. And you donโt have any idea who he was?โShe shook her head. โIโve never seen him before. He didnโt look familiar to you?โโNope. Iโll ask One-Mile if heโs seen anyone hanging around lately and look at the security cameras to see if we caught a better angle of him. In the meantime, you shouldnโt walk to and from your car alone.โThat was no problem. She didnโt want to. โSo what do we do now?โโCarry on with our day, I guess. We have a shitload to accomplish. Letโs start by making some phone calls and seeing if thereโs been any progress on the Kimber front. And Iโll take a look at the security cameras and let you know if this guy looks familiar. And until we know who he is or what he wants, I wonโt let you out of my sight.โTessa exhaled in relief. She always felt safer with Zy. โPromise?โHe glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then reached for her hand. โBaby, Iโm not going anywhere.โAfter ano
โYou okay?โ she asked.โYeah.โ Heโd love to tell her what was on his mind, but she wasnโt ready to hear it.โWhat did Hunter say? Any progress?โโNo, but theyโre trying everything they can.โTessa frowned with worry. โThey must be frantic.โZy had heard the fear in Hunterโs voice, but he didnโt want to alarm her any more. โOf course theyโre concerned, but theyโre doing what they always do, following clues and working angles. Something will turn up.โโDo they need more help with food or supplies? What about the kids? I could take them off their hands for a bit.โHe shook his head. โTheyโve got everyone on lockdown at an undisclosed location, just in case. The fewer people who know where the better.โโAh, that makes sense.โ Tessa shook her head and forked in another bite of salad. โHey, I wonder if that guy who accosted me in the parking lot this morning wanted information about where theyโre hiding.โโMaybe.โ It had crossed his mind, too. โIf that guy shows up again, you let me know. I
โFinally.โ He sighed. โIt was a fucking long, scary-ass day. But yeah, weโre on the road now. And I need to talk to you.โIt sounded serious, and Zyโs gut seized. โWhatโs up?โโKane and I connected with Valeria, and she got her son back. They left a few hours ago in a minivan. He plans to drive straight through. But I got word that the safe house they had for Valeria isnโt available anymore, so where do you want us to go?โGood question.โIโd ask one of the bosses,โ Trees continued, โbut with everything they have going on, I didnโt want to come to them with more problems.โโYeah. Let meโฆcall Cutter. Heโs a local boy, and he and Shealyn are back from their honeymoon.โโAnd from what I heard, her sisterโs wedding to Josiah got derailed by violence two days ago. They might be busy.โโWell, weโre likely to have another situation like that on our hands if Cutter doesnโt spare me five minutes.โTrees sighed. โTrue. Yeah, call him, then let Kane know.โโWhat about you and Laila? Where will y
Zy shook his head. โI have to head out. That was Trees, and he needs some mission support. Itโs urgent. If I get any sleep tonight, it will be late, so Iโll do it at my place. And Iโll see you tomorrow, okay?โโSure. Be careful and stay safe.โWould she be worried if she didnโt care about him? Maybe love him at least a little?โI will. Night, baby.โ He kissed her softly.โNight,โ she mumbled, then lay back on the pillow.She was asleep again before he even left the room.Zy let himself out of the house, locked the door behind him, hopped on his bike, and sped through the chilly night back to the office. It was late, but not obnoxiously so for a call. The instant he set foot in the office again, he flipped on the lights and the coffeemaker, prowled to the conference room, propped his feet on the table, and called Cutter.The former EM Security operator, now married to the TV star heโd once protected, answered almost immediately. โZy?โโYeah. Hey, congrats on your marriage, man.โโThank
โโDealing with itโ doesnโt mean just erasing those posts or groups. It means obliterating their accounts and banning these people for life.โโI canโt take steps like that without careful consideration and investigation. IโโโDonโt start this bullshit. Why canโt you ever, just once, do whatโs right?โโStay out of my business and Iโll stay out of yours.โโIโd love to, butโโโWhat the fuck makes you think youโre better than me? Youโve done plenty of questionable things, like blowing up a perfectly good building that would have helped a whole bunch of poor people in a war-torn region.โโBecause I consciously choose to do the right things for the right reasons. I kept that building from destroying more lives than it could ever have helped. I donโt shove my nose up a bunch of globalist tycoonsโ asses for a buck. And I would never fuck my friendโs underage daughter for a thrill.โโIt was consensual.โโKendra was a minor. Legally, she couldnโt consent, and you goddamn know it. And itโs also p
It wasnโt impossible.Tessa wasnโt willing to take the chance that if Zy and the bosses planned a rescue for Hallie, the enemy wouldnโt find out and make good on their threat. And she would never see her precious daughter again.She couldnโt live with that.Besides, were there even enough operatives available to save Hallie? The bosses and most of the company resources were tied up finding Kimber.Oh, god. Had the same criminals who had taken her friend taken her daughter, too?Probably. These hard-core animals were willing to do whatever it took to get what they wanted. Hallie meant nothing to them. Her baby being at their mercy terrified Tessa.She didnโt dare cross them. She would never be able to live with herself if her failure to follow simple instructions resulted in her daughterโs end.Tessa was in way over her head. But she didnโt see any choice except to play by the kidnappersโ rulesโat least for now.Sucking in a shuddering breath, she reached up to close the open window. H
But if that was true, then who had kidnapped Hallie?โWell, IโโโNot on the phone. Youโll send all your answers to our questions to this email. Write it down carefully.โ He recited the address and had her read it back. โDonโt use your company email.โDid he think she was stupid? โOf course not. And once Iโve answered this question, youโll give me information about my daughter?โโAbsolutely.โThen the line went dead.Guiltily, Tessa looked around the office, but she was still alone. No one would see her betray her employer.Is it really that much of a betrayal? Theyโre only asking questions that might end up being public knowledge at some point anyway.True, but rationalizing didnโt help. She still felt guilty, but she swallowed it down for Hallie. She launched her email app on her phone and tapped out the address sheโd been given. She drafted an answer, deleted it, and started over several times. Finally, she settled on a reply that provided the most thorough yet neutral information s
"I couldn't do it," she whimpered in abject misery. "I couldn't do it. I'm so sorry I couldn't do it.""Shhh," I shushed her soothingly. "I know you tried your best."Bleary eyed, she turned to look up at me. "If I did, would it change the way you feel about me?"I gave her a reassuring smile and began to say the same thing I'd said to her last night. "I told you: I won't love you any le-"I stopped as I was suddenly seized with the sense that I was about to make a huge mistake. I remembered what Sam had said to me the last time I'd said those words, complaining that I wasn't listening.But I was listening now, and I realized that last night I'd gotten everything backwards. So instead, I tilted her face to look up at me and stated evenly, "Deep-throating me isn't going to make me love you more. I don't need you to do something like that... or even have sex with me... to try and make me think of you as 'my favorite'. You can't buy my love with a blowjob. I care a great deal about you a
I arched an eyebrow. "Never really thought of myself as 'gorgeous'.""Why do you think we've all been rubbing ourselves all over you for the past few years? It's not because you're ugly." Sam reached up and traced my cheek with her fingertips. "It's in your eyes, really. The intensity of your stare when you look at us with such... heat."I started to look at her with heat in my eyes, thinking about all the things I'd done to her last night... Thinking of all the things I could be doing to her right now. But I took a deep breath and forced myself to once again be patient, to think rationally instead of hormonally."But what changed?" I asked. "You've been attracted to me for a long time, you say. What was different about last night?"Sam sighed and stared back into her lap. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said quietly, "Maybe I should just go home.""Sam...""This wasn't a good idea.""You can't dodge this forever. And you don't have an excuse that you need to beat your pa
I nodded, and she nodded, and a long silence fell over both of us. We smiled at each other, unsure of what to say. And after the silence started to become a little awkward, only then did we seem to remember our nudity."I did NOT expect to have this conversation today," I finally said, a little embarrassed."Me neither. But..." She popped her eyebrows and gave me a hopeful smile. "I know this hasn't been the most 'uber sexy' conversation, but would it be too weird for me to say I'd still like to take another shot at this sex thing?"I raised my eyebrows. "You sure?""I don't want to go to bed tonight still a... Well I guess I'm not technically a virgin anymore, but I still don't feel like I've earned my woman card."I smiled but held up a finger. "You're letting me go down on you this time, no arguments.""Not arguing.""Maybe I shoulda bought some lube." I suddenly grimaced and rubbed my temple as if I could physically scrub away the thought that had just popped into my mind."What?"
Belle snorted and gave me a look of disbelief. "You really think I wanted all that? I love you, Matty, and I always will. But I never wanted a fancy romantic date. The six of us girls may be eagerly climbing all over your body exploring everything physical pleasure has to offer, but none of us is going to date you. The BTC will survive you fucking the shit out of Sam. The BTC will survive you having sex with me. It will NOT survive you becoming someone's actual boyfriend. I told you before: I'm not breaking up the BTC for us.""Then...?"Belle pulled my hands out of her shirt and sweatpants, twisted around in my embrace, and got to her knees. She leaned forward to kiss me gently before sitting back on her heels. And then she reached down to grab the hem of her t-shirt and swiftly whipped it over her head. Her bra had been dislodged, exposing her right boob, but she unclasped it and tossed it to join the shirt. And then she hooked her thumbs into the waistband of her sweatpants and sta
"Yeah, I'll bet she was soooo torn up about it," Belle scoffed. "You know she DID say that one time it wouldn't be such a stretch for her to fuck you just so she could be your favorite.""I don't think that's what was going through her mind. I mean, I DID ask her why she did it, but she looked at the clock and said we had to hurry home.""Convenient."I sighed. "I thought so, too. She dodged the question. But at the same time, I genuinely believe that she doesn't know why she did it. It was an impulsive decision. Ten seconds earlier, she'd been bawling her eyes out over her inability to deep-throat me even though I told her it wasn't a big deal. Maybe having sex with me was her way of... making it up to me? Something like that."Belle looked at me skeptically. "She couldn't deep-throat you, so she figured she'd give you her pussy instead?""I know it sounds crazy, but it's the best explanation I've got."Belle pursed her lips and sighed, looking thoughtful. She started shaking her hea
"Language, please, Matthew," Mother interrupted.I sighed and tried again. "Why does everybody assume I have to be having sex with the girls to be friends with them? I'm NOT.""Well, you're apparently fucking Sam."I popped my eyebrows at Mother's use of the f-word. It told me she was dead serious. Or she was messing with me. I couldn't actually tell. Pursing my lips, I said defensively, "That's different.""Are you in love with her?""With Sam? No." I shook my head. "We're friends.""'Friends' don't spend three out of four nights alone together, having sex or... or whatever you two were doing to each other before tonight."I buried my face in my hands. "I canNOT believe I'm having this conversation with my mother.""Is she going to become your girlfriend?""No.""Do you intend to keep having sex with her?""I don't know! We didn't plan on last night happening! It just... I mean..." My shoulders sagged. "Things got out of control, annnnd we didn't really have time to talk about it bec
Closing her eyes, Sam held up a finger and grimaced. She exhaled slowly, opened her eyes again, and said, "I know that we need to talk about this, but I really don't have the time right now. I've GOT to beat them home.""Don't deflect.""I promise we'll talk later, okay?""There's still plenty of time to-""Matty, please?" She stared at me, her eyes begging me to drop it, and all thoughts of pressuring her any further evaporated. Something incredibly momentous had happened between us, life-altering really, and I was desperate to understand why. But my relationship with Sam - with all the BTC girls, really - had been built on me never pushing them beyond what they were comfortable with. And I couldn't bring myself to push her on this, either.With a sigh, I nodded my agreement silently, and Sam immediately vaulted off my bed and to start hunting around for her clothes. I watched the way those big naked tits wobbled as she hunched over and bent to grab first her dress and then her corse
Without a word of warning or request, Sam elevated her body, notched my cockhead at the entrance to her pussy, and sank herself down.My jaw dropped.My eyes went WIDE.My hips jerked UP.Sam moaned, tilted her face to the right, and mashed her lips against mine.And then she MOVED.Wrapping both arms around my head, Sam yanked my face down into her prodigious cleavage as she started to fuck me. I felt my cheeks getting squished by her massive mammaries, a constant up-and-down motion as she rose and fell in my lap with rhythmic intensity.And my cock? Holy crap I can't even properly describe what was happening to my cock. Adjectives fail to properly define how it felt to be inside my very first pussy. Tight? Yes. Wet? Hell yes. AMAZEBALLS? Hell fucking yes. And yet so much more.'Sex is fucking amazing!!' I thought to myself.'Why the fuck did I ever wait this long?!?''I shoulda dropped the entire BTC in a fucking heartbeat and just slammed it into Holly when I had the chance!'Okay,
"Oh, my fucking GAWD..." I moaned rapturously, and Sam's smile lit up the room with both pride and delight at my reaction.Even though her makeup had been messed up a little, her hair was still sexy and I loved the way her dangling silver earrings framed her face. She wore a strapless, black lace corset top that lifted and separated her huge breasts so that they almost appeared spherical. I tugged her satiny dress past her hips and down to the floor, revealing a matching garter belt to go with her thigh-high lace stockings. She stepped out of the satiny material and waited for me to remove her skyscraper heels, since I had my hands on her left shoe. But with a bit of a smile, I pulled my hands away and left the heels alone. "Wouldn't want your bootcamp training to go to waste," I murmured with a smile.Still kneeling before her, I ran my hands up Sam's stockings and around to cup her juicy buttcheeks, using my grip to tug her crotch forward so I could inhale her sweet scent and take a
