“Laila is only valuable to them if she leads to me.” Valeria frowned. “You understand that, no? And she has been hurt too many times by the people in my life. Convincing her and my mother to come stay with me for the summer shortly after I married was the worst mistake of all. My husband took them prisoner to keep me in line. The cartel…they hurt her. Very much. Her life would have been better if I had not begged her to come. So as much as I love my sister, maybe she should not come here.”

He’d have to see how the bosses felt about that. “We’ll take that under advisement. But our immediate goal is to keep you and your loved ones safe, especially after the difficulties you’ve had for the past few months.”

“I appreciate that you are trying, but I am disappointed. I enjoyed my house in St. Louis. I had never seen snow or known winter until I lived there. I loved it. I felt safe, unlike in Florida. I had a feeling almost immediately that we were being watched. Mr. Edgington assured me tha

    This wasn’t about him. At least he didn’t think so. But what the fuck was going on?“One more thing before I go?”“What?” Her voice sounded impatient, like she wanted him to leave…but deep down she needed him to stay.Zy ached to touch her, but she would only push him away. He didn’t understand. Last night, everything had been fine. Hell, great. Tonight, she couldn’t wait to be rid of him.“Are we okay? Did I do something to upset you? If I did, we need to talk about it.”“I can’t do this now. I need you to go.” Tessa gathered the robe even tighter around her. “And I know you have a key to my door. Please don’t use it.”As answers went, it wasn’t one. But everything she said scared the hell out of him.Fuck. She was too tired and overwrought for him to reason with. He hated to leave things between them like this, but she hadn’t given him much choice.“All right. I’ll see you tomorrow?”She nodded tightly. “At the office. Good night.”Then Tessa shut the door in his face, and the dead

    “I didn’t say I didn’t want to see her. I said I didn’t want to live on top of her.”That’s exactly where Trees wanted to be. “I’m calling bullshit.”“Back off. I’m trying to be a gentleman, but there’s no fucking privacy here. Even the shower is so small it’s impossible to jack off.”Despite all the shit today, Zy had to laugh. “That right? So you’re having a…hard time?”“Shut the fuck up. Do I need to remind you that you had a goddamn hard time with Tessa before the bosses finally took pity on you?”And just like that, he sobered. “No. Not that it matters right now. She’s barely speaking to me.”“What the fuck did you do, not lay her right?”That wasn’t the problem. “The job called me out last night before I could even touch her. She seemed okay, though. Tired but not mad. This morning, she came into the office looking like she’d been sobbing. But nothing I’ve said or asked is persuading her to open up. She claims she has a migraine…”“Those suck.”“Yeah, but I don’t believe her.”“

    He shoved the key in the ignition. “We’re alone now. Are you going to talk to me?”“About what?” She blinked at him wide-eyed, pretending confusion. But she was quaking with terror. She was terrible at keeping secrets, especially from people she loved. Not telling Zy what was going on in her life was damn near killing her.“Whatever’s crawled up your ass in the last twenty-four hours—”“I-I had a headache, and I still don’t feel good.”Zy raised a brow at her.He clearly didn’t believe her. “And you don’t want to tell me what I’ve done that made you push me away?”“It’s not like that.” But that must be what it felt like to him.And his acidic smile said so.“You still don’t want to talk? Fine. Let’s just get this done.” He tore out of the parking lot and shot down the road.The silence between them felt oppressive.“Zy…” she ventured, then set a hand on his taut arm. Tessa remembered that arm around her, his hands skimming her body as his lips worked up her neck to cover her own befor

    What the fuck was he supposed to do with an engagement ring she seemingly didn’t want?Another problem for later.He stepped outside to pace the porch—and avoid the vodka bottle—when the big RV pulled into the yard and disappeared around the back of the house, killing the lights.Of course Trees wouldn’t want it visible from the road. Tessa had jacked up his thoughts so much, he hadn’t even considered the obvious.Feeling like an idiot, he jogged around the place and met Trees just as he was stepping from the RV with a long-suffering sigh and a stretch. “Hey. So fucking glad that’s over.”“I’m glad for you, man. Good to have you back.”Trees peered at him with the light from the RV’s interior. “You look like shit.”“Well, stress, lack of sleep, and your girlfriend looking for the politest way possible to tell you to fuck off will do that.”“No shit?”He nodded. “It’s been one of the worst weeks ever.”“Sorry, man.” Trees clapped his arm, then glanced over his shoulder.

    “Take a breath. One day at a time, okay? You’ll get through this.”Trees nodded like he didn’t quite believe him and didn’t want to argue. “Let’s talk about something else. What’s up with you and Tessa?”“I don’t want to bore you. I don’t understand it enough to explain, anyway.”“She’s pushing back?”“She’s pushing me away.”Trees scowled. “I would have sworn that woman loves you.”“I thought so, too, but she’s never said that in so many words. And now she’s barely answering my texts. Something is…weird. Something is wrong.”“Well, that’s definitely not right.”“I don’t know. Maybe I pushed for too much too fast. I told her at Christmas that I love her. About three minutes after we got the all-clear to have more than a working relationship, I asked her to move in with me. She says she needs time to think. But it doesn’t feel like she’s thinking; it feels like she’s just putting daylight between us.”Trees frowned. “So what if you’ve moved fast this week? I don’t think you rushing her

    “I’ll call you back.”“Wait—”But it was too late. He was gone.Tessa closed her eyes. Why had she assumed he knew about the corpses and opened her big mouth? She’d much preferred the smug, didn’t-have-a-care-in-the-world kidnapper to the panicked, out-of-control one. Now that she’d stupidly rattled him, would he take it out on Hallie?Her hands shook as she tried to go about her morning like nothing was out of the ordinary. She hooked up her laptop to her monitor and opened her company email. Joaquin had sent her a list of things to do today—people to email, copies to make, clients to bill. None of that would take too long or require her to think too much, thank goodness. She could barely spare any thoughts for anyone but Hallie.As she sent him an email promising to take care of all of the items quickly, her phone began to buzz again. Tessa lunged for it and answered immediately.“Yes?”“Change of plans.”“I need to know if my daughter is okay.”“You’ll get a full report when we get

    “It’s no problem. Thank you, ma’am.” Matt tipped his hat.If she hadn’t been falling apart and already in love with Zy, she would have better appreciated just how damn hot he was, gray eyes surrounded by a thick fringe of dark lashes and a sly smile.Instead, she shook her head. “I’m not ma’am, just Tessa.”“Tessa is a pretty name.”She swallowed. He was flirting. She couldn’t handle this right now.“Thank you. I should get back to work.”“My friend is too polite to ask you something,” One-Mile butted in.She frowned. “What’s that?”“Walker…” he growled in warning.“He thinks you’re hot and wants to know if you’re down to have drinks tonight. Or sex. He’s up for both.”Matt backhanded his buddy in the chest, then sent him a killing glare. “I apologize for my former friend’s terrible manners. I’d just like to get to know you.”He seemed like a really nice guy, but now wasn’t the time and he wasn’t her man. “Sorry. I’m…involved.”“So you and Zy kissed and made up?” One-Mile asked.Was t

    “Nice,” she said with a smile full of forced cheer. “Craig took us to a place that, um…had wonderful burgers and chicken. Yeah, on the south side of town. They sang to her. But Craig is doing well. I’m glad we went.”Liar, liar… But why?“The whole thing tuckered Hallie out, so I put her to bed. It’s just us now.”And he couldn’t miss the suddenly seductive note in her voice. She swayed closer.What the hell? After avoiding him for days, she was suddenly turning on the charm?Oh, baby. If you’re going to play with fire, I’m going to burn you so bad…“Great.” He took her hand. And if you’re willing to seduce me for information, let’s see how far you’ll go to get it. “But I’m more tired than I thought, and it looks like I have to leave town soon. I can’t say much, but let’s catch up next week, when the op is over. And if I’m back on Wednesday for her big day, I’ll take you and Hallie to dinner then.”She swallowed. “So the rescue op is definitely on for this weekend?”“We’ve got a reall

    "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
