Reece scanned over Abigail and then looked at Caden. “Lucky this time, but I think Caden took out one or two.”

“Yeah, I took out one and blasted the kneecap off another, but I don’t think that will make them back off.”

“Not a chance. Caden, call the team, get the plane ready and add Abigail’s name to the FAA’s passenger list. I’ll call in the incident with the fire department and then message the sheriff a heads up. Dane, I’m telling him you’ll call him with a few more details once you drop us off.”

Caden shifted his weight to the side to pull his cell from his pants pocket. “Copy that.”

Reece caught Dane’s nod. “Any specific instructions?”

“Ask him to call me or Caden about an hour from now. We should be in the air and able to talk specifics then over a secure line.”

Abigail stirred and turned her gaze on him. Her eyes refocused on the here and now. “What plane?”

Reece angled his body toward Abigail’s. “The way I see it, whoever is behind this knows who you work for. They didn’t come in with an assault team to take out one defenseless lady living out in the country. They just wanted to scare you. And on that note, there’s something larger than your asshole ex-fiancé at play here. Something I’m not sure how you got involved in, but one thing is for damn sure. The men that came after you tonight are armed and dangerous enough to do some real damage, so going home with you in tow isn’t an option unless we want to have another meet and greet wild west style.”

“So what’s your plan? Throw me on a plane and whisk me off to the beach? It’s the middle of January.”

Reece let out a little of his frustration with a deep sigh. “Keeping you close is the only option. Where we go, you will go.” He caught the sudden flush in her cheeks and the white T-shirt that outlined her ample breasts also revealed her tight, puckered nipples at the mention of her staying close to them.

Like he said. She broadcasted her thoughts loud and clear. And that made his cock throb.

He brushed away a leaf that clung to the fringes of her ponytail and tossed it aside. “You’ll be safe where we are going. You can gather your thoughts and then?—”

“—maybe you, Caden and I can have that talk you mentioned back in your office?”

“That sounds like a plan.” Caden moved in closer and whispered close to her ear and the shuddered that rain through her body told him everything he wanted to know. “I think you’ll love the place along the beach in the Mismaloya area a couple of miles north of Puerto Vallarta. It’s secure, private and you’ll be safe while we figure this out.”

Abigail’s eyebrows shot up at Caden’s words and her back stiffened against the soft leather seats. “To Mexico? We’re going to Mexico?”

Even in the darkened cab of the SUV he could see her teeth clamp down on her plump lower lip. The little tic had driven him freaking crazy from day one. He couldn’t focus when she did that.

Reece shifted his weight closer to her and lifted a hand to her face, gently tugging her lip free with his thumb. “I told you, the more you suck on that lip the more I want to devour you. Unless you want me to do that right here, right now you need to stop.” He dipped his voice low to where only she could hear him. He couldn’t tell, but he’d bet his last dollar that her pretty skin was flushed pink again. Her tongue darted out to pass seductively along the seam of her lips, and he broke.

He dipped his head and claimed her lips in a hard, searing kiss.

She groaned into his mouth, cupping his face with a gentle touch as she opened for him.

Velvety smooth and warm.

She had no idea how sexy she was or how much her little moans turned him the fuck on.

Reece broke the kiss reluctantly. “Claiming your virginity will be the single most wonderful thing we ever do. Don’t make the mistake of thinking you’ll not have both of us between those cream, beautiful thighs.”

He crushed his lips to hers again and this time took control, devoured her taste, and didn’t break away until they both needed air.

“He’s right. You’re ours now, baby girl. Do you want two older men fucking your young, sweet tight pussy and perfect ass?”

She gasped at Caden’s rough, dirty talk but he could see it turned her on.

“Yes,” she whispered.

Reece took her hand in his larger one, caressing the back of her knuckles with the pad of his thumb, watching her expressive eyes.

He had a hard time thinking about a forever. Seduce her, show her what a real man feels like, and show her how beautiful a person she is he could do. When and if it came time to walk away, he would deal with when that time came.

He slipped a hand beneath her shirt and ran his fingers along her tender midriff. He skimmed higher until he came to the edge of her bra.

A combination of silk and lace. With his thumb he found her nipple and worked lazy circles over the turgid tip. He swallowed her moan with another kiss. This time slow and sensual. Her lips parted and he took the kiss deeper, gliding his tongue over hers.
