All Chapters of Hotter Than Hell: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Moon listened to everything I had on Celina. There were no jokes about my feelings for her. He didn't tease me that it was only one afternoon in a hotel room. It was like that when he met Madison. He knew there was something worth exploring, and I guess that's how I feel about Celina. Who the hell really knows, though? What I do know is that after I spent time with Celina, I got the best night's sleep I can remember having in a very long time. Images of her replaced the horrific images I usually suffer from. Moon knows the DC is bad news. It also means bad news for us if they aren't handled carefully. We talked for more than an hour and then Moon left to take Madison to lunch. Marcus went with him. Marcus has been pulled from another detail to help Colby shadow Moon for the foreseeable future. With Moon's aunt, Victor Corbin, and now the DC, Moon will have a man on him at all times. Rack is partnering with Jess whether Jess and Madison like it or not.I have a man who may be able to s

I have no idea what just happened. I don't even know this man. He paid for sex with me yesterday. That's it and things should have ended there. He has a connection to Madison or at least more of one than I realized. She sent him here for some stupid reason that makes no sense to me. The man who barreled through the door was completely savage. Nothing like the Alex I met in the hotel room yesterday.He's situated us so I'm lying on top of him and his semen practically has us sticking together. No man has ever touched me on such an animalistic level. Hell, the only other two men in my life were boys compared to him.Alex threads his fingers through my hair and kisses my temple. God, what he does to me. What he did to me! I've never done anal and when he put his finger there... oh, fuck. I'll never be able to meet his eyes again. Well, unless he's fucking me. I love the way he looks when he fucks me. Intense and possessive. The pain and sadness leave his gaze then."Who are you?" I manage

"Thank you, Gabriella. Why don't you join us?" Strangely, Mak's lips quirk when she asks. After another string of Spanish from Gabriella, I understand why."Would you care for wine?" Moon asks after Gabriella marches from the room muttering."Yes, wine please," I tell him. I actually need something stronger, like a gallon of moonshine, maybe.Mak, who's now smiling full out, tries to reassure me. "Gabriella is that way with everyone she meets. Don't let her get to you. She has a heart of gold and is very loyal. She also cooks the best food I've ever tasted. Help yourself. We don't stand on ceremony, even when forced to eat in the dining room. It's an argument I've yet to win with Gabriella.""She really didn't like me.""Well, she defended you to Gomez and told him not to mark up your lovely skin and turn you into a tramp. Or at least that's what I think that word means."My hand immediately covers my neck and upper chest in mortification."Madison," Moon says sternly."Well, I think G

I choose the guest room to sleep in because I don't feel comfortable crawling between Alex's sheets in his bedroom. I lie awake for a long time and think about Alex and Kiley-Alex the killer and Kiley the young, innocent child. I barely know either of them and they've both changed my life. How do I reconcile what's happening? I never expected to fall asleep, but I jerk awake when the lamp beside the bed comes on. Squinting, I make out Alex resting his hip on the bed beside me. His tie is loosened and he appears exhausted. I fight myself to not reach out and smooth my hand across his face. The agony I read in his expression is a physical ache that hits me hard. He blinks and gains control. Now I want to wrap him in my arms because I know he's masking the pain."Is there a reason you're not in my room?" he asks quietly. His voice sounds strange. I'm not sure if he's pissed off or trying not to startle me.I roll in his direction which puts me closer. I smell him, he's showered and his d

The shit will go down tomorrow, or, I look at the large clock on the wall, later today. Mak and Celina stayed in the conference room while Dax explained his plan. He drew a map of the house and gave specifics about Fox's orders if anyone came for the child.There are two guards, one always with Kiley. In the room where they're keeping her, there's a floor to ceiling bookcase with a hidden safe behind it. The orders are to snap Kiley's neck, stuff her in the safe, and get the hell out. Dax said there's a small indent next to the safe for Kiley to hide. He will deliver the doll to her, take out the guard in the room, and settle Kiley behind the bookcase. His opinion is that the riskiest part is showing up with the doll and displaying attachment to the child. He thinks he can talk his way in and the house guard may join his side. He can't be a hundred percent sure and that worries me.If all goes as planned, he will handle the guard stationed directly on Kiley so she's safe. He wants us h
