Charlotte’s POVIt was nice to hang out with Reece again and get more work done to my tattoos, but my mind kept going back to what Jack was up to. Was he using the dungeon under the house? Ryan was a good distraction and he hardly shut up. He was trying to buy a suit online for the work party while Grant and Reece were telling him that was a bad idea and he needed to go in and try one on. I chuckled as I listened to them, I agreed with Grant and Reece. He was too bulky to not go and try it on first.“You need to listen to the  guys” I told him.“Argh, fine” He groaned “Will you at least come shopping with me then? Give me a girl’s opinion”  “As if you even need to ask” I told him.“How are you coping?” Reece asked me.“Fine, why what time is it?”“Still early” He glanced at his watch “9”“Still, plenty of

Jack’s POVBy the time we were finished with Jessie for the night, he was missing half a thumb, 1 hand, 1 leg, 1 ear and 1 testicle. He kept drifting in and out of conciseness due to the blood loss. I was not ready for him to die on me yet, so I called in a Doc I had on the payroll. I checked the time and started to panic when I saw it was midnight. I did not want Charlotte to see me before I got cleaned up. My Doc arrived and I told him to patch Jessie up so that he did not die overnight. Once Charlotte went back to see Reece I would come back down here. I might even let Warren and Lance go with her this time so that Ryan and Grant could have some fun.I watched the doc dress Jessies wounds while casting me worried looks “Don’t worry Doc, unless you steal from me and lie to me, I won’t let this happen to you”“He stole from you?”“Yes, and then tried to get someone else to take the fall by threatening to hu

Ryan’s POVI felt like I was falling behind, all the others had a suit to wear to the work party and I had nothing. I had been looking online but I had no idea how to measure myself to make sure it would fit. I had been venting all of this while Charlotte was  getting her tattoo. Grant and Reece were fully against be buying a suit online, but I don’t want to go shopping on my own. I need someone to let me know if I look like a plonker or not.“You need to listen to the  guys” Charlotte piped up.“Argh, fine” I Groaned “Will you at least come shopping with me then? Give me a girl’s opinion”  “As if you even need to ask” She smiled at me, and I could not help but return it. Hopefully Jack would be ok with her coming shopping with me. We all know how protective he can be.  I started to scroll though my phone looking for suit stores when I noticed that Charlotte had not spo

Grant’s POVOnce Charlotte and Ryan started to talk about shopping, I quietly removed myself and walked back to my laptop. I wanted to check on what Jack and the others were up to, thankfully we had cameras set up all around the dungeon. I quickly logged in and saw them dragging him into the room. I always enjoyed watching people break and spill. Turns out the guy was a gambling addict, still no excuse for stealing from someone though. I watched Jack play with him while making him gamble with body parts. It was a good way to teach him that gambling is bad, not that he would live to learn from the lesson. Ryan came to join and laughing that Charlotte was asleep, I had a huge respect for her high pain tolerance. I wondered how she would cope getting tortured, not that I ever would harm her, but it was an interesting thought to ponder over. I filled Ryan in on what he had missed, and we carried on watching together. When Jack finished up, we went and woke Charlotte up to s

Jack’s POVI woke up and realised that Charlotte was no longer in my arms. I sat up just as the bathroom door opened and she walked out in just a towel. I noticed the bags under her eyes instantly.“Are you ok hun? You look like you did not sleep a wink”She blushed as she looked down at her feet. “Don’t worry about me” She quickly walked over to the wardrobe and disappeared.What the hell? I quickly climbed out of bed and followed her “I will always worry about you, talk to me” I spun her around to face me.“I just feel like you keep me in the dark, and I know that you should as some of the stuff you do is bad, but then my mind starts going over time trying to figure out what you are hiding, and it won’t stop” She blurted out.“I am happy to tell you everything, I thought you didn’t want to know”“I don’t and I do, Argh I am such a mess&rd

Charlotte’s POVMy mind was all over the place, I had spent most of the night wondering what Jack was keeping from me. Was it really a thief he had in the dungeon or was it someone else? Maybe it was not even a real dungeon, but a sex dungeon and he had another woman down there. I didn’t really believe that though as he had been so sweet when we made love before he fell asleep. Maybe it was Phillip, and he just didn’t want to tell me?I finally gave up trying to sleep and got out of bed and had a shower. Jack was still fast asleep, so I decided to let him be. I was hoping that the shower would have helped me feel a bit more human, but I still felt dead when I climbed out and went back to the bedroom to get dressed. I noticed that Jack was sitting up in bed with a confused look on his face. I could not blame him, it was usually him who was awake before me on a morning. I noticed him observing me and wanted to run away and hide. All the men were too goo

Grant’s POVI was so exited about getting to go to the cells with Jack and Warren. I focused on keeping a straight face when the guy Jessie I found out he was called started begging us to let him go.“Please let me go, I have learnt my lesson I swear”“Have you?” Jack asked as he opened the cell door.  “I have, please let me go. I won’t say a word about what happened”I walked over to him and watched him closely “He is lying” I told Jack.“What? No” He turned to look at me and I grinned back.“Notice his top lip, it twitches when he is lying” I watched him turn white as he realised, he could not lie to me.“Grant is very good as figuring people out” Jack chuckled “What else are you good at?” Jack asked me and I knew what he wanted me to do.“This” I quickly pulled out my gun and shot him in the fo

Ryan’s POVSomething was up with Charlotte, and I hated not knowing what it was. I told her I would let it go and I meant it, I just hoped that she would open up to me.We arrived at the suit store, and I felt like a freak on parade when we walked in, and everyone stopped to look at us. Thankfully a salesgirl stepped forward and offered to help us. I let Charlotte take charge as I glared at the other workers. I overheard her telling the salesgirl we did not have a budget and I chuckled.“How do you know how much money I have?” I asked her.“I don’t, I am spending Jack’s” She grinned.I chucked as the salesgirl asked me to follow her. I did as she asked and ended up by the changing rooms. “I will be right back with some suits for you to try” she told me before rushing off. Lance came back with Charlotte and pushed her onto the couch. I groaned as I saw the sales lady come back with a rack full of

Jack’s POVAs I was firing my shots at Jessie, I started to think about Charlotte and how she was acting this morning. After all of this was over, I wanted to make her my wife, I wanted her to know every little thing about me. I hated keeping things from her, so I made a promise to myself. After Phillip was out of the way, I would never keep anything from her again. I gave Warren the order to put Jessie in the boot and be ready to go out once I was finished in the shower. I had a couple of things that I needed to get sorted for Charlottes Christmas present and having Grant here would greatly help me with one of them. While Warren can come out with me to sort the other one. Out of all my men I trusted these two to keep their mouths shut. Ryan liked Charlotte too much so would end up letting things slip and Lance just didn’t think when he spoke. Probably why he was usually the silent brooding type.I quickly showered, not that I got any grime on me today. But

Grant’s POVAfter we locked Jessie in the boot Warren, and I went our separate ways to go and get showered. Since we were the ones having to carry Jessie about, we were the ones who got dirty, not Sir King. But we are but the servants to the King.Once I was showered, I went to wait for Jack at the bottom of the stairs. Warren came out a few minutes later.“So where do you think we are going?”“You are more likely to know that than me, you are the ones who are with him all the time”“You sound grumpy” He chuckled.“No, I am just pointing out that I am the least likely to know where we are going. Has anyone else pissed him off?”“Na not that I know off”“Maybe he just wants to go Christmas shopping or something”“Maybe”We stood in silence after that until Jack came down. “Grant, I need you to find some people for me” He handed me a bit of paper and I read the names on it.I grinned up at him “I will let you know what I find” I told him as I ran off, I got to my room and looked at the
