Creed glanced at Travis for just a moment. “Stone of course.” He looked at Travis then at me. “Travis is our best sharp shooter and has accepted the offer. He will now only command two Creed’s Lake units, and we will be sharing my owner and CEO position over the entire Creed’s Lake, since he is the second largest owner of this company.”

My eyes quickly darted to Travis. “You’re what?”

Travis shifted uncomfortably in his chair. “Creed owns half, I own twenty five percent, and the rest of the Originals own what’s left. We haven’t sat down yet to discuss how we will split the duties.”

“Your boy toy is now our boss.” Axton looked to be annoyed with the idea.

“McCormick is a former Seal and also a former CIA agent. He has also accepted, along with Ives, who was never special ops, but an MP with the Army. He was also on a SWAT team in New York City for a period of time. Magnus and Axton have also accepted the position that’s being offered to you.” Creed added.

“I’m overjoyed with the VP position, but could I think about the SWAT team? I’d like to discuss it with Travis in private.” I asked.

‘Sure, we have plenty of time before training starts for the SWAT team.” Darren said.

“Wrenly.” Travis caught my attention, so I looked over at him. “This wasn’t something in the works until a few days ago. Before this I didn’t think we should let our career paths cross, and with that being said, I’m not exactly thrilled with the idea. But my opinion doesn’t matter, it’s your choice to make, just like it was mine and I accepted. There’s no need to discuss it with me, just like your decision to come to Creed’s Lake wasn’t mine. You have to make your own career choices. You didn’t work as hard as you did to allow any man influence over your career.”

He was right. He didn’t consult me before accepting. He has completely kept his distance from my career, and I appreciate his respect in doing so, but we weren’t supposed to work together.

I turned to Darren. “What would be my role on the SWAT team?”

“Tactical team operator, just like Axton and Magnus.” Darren answered.

That was interesting, well maybe not interesting but definitely different. As a woman, we weren’t always treated the same as men in the military. I was assigned to a Raiders team that wasn’t promised to see much action, and it was obvious my gender played a role in that assignment. That didn’t seem to be the case with Creed’s Lake. We are treated as equals, and obviously Darren Rossi also treats his female officers the same.

Everyone was probably staring at me while they waited to hear if I’d accept or need time to think about it. “Creed’s Lakeis aware that I’ll still be needed to travel back and forth for the Scorpions case. Is that an issue for the State Police?” I asked.

“Of course not, like I said before it is only part time, except for your physical training, and you’ll stay on call for when you’re needed. We more than accept your need to help wrap up that case. The Scorpions were deeply involved with the Cartel, and we are aware the cartel are using the MC’s in this war that’s building here. One less MC in this country the better.” Darren answered.

“What exactly is fueling this war?” I asked.

Creed spoke up. “The Devil’s Rejects had some rogue members that screwed over the Cartel and the MC. That started it, but since then, the Devil’s Rejects have pulled away from the Cartel and are no longer doing their drug runs. The Rejects not only owe them money, but now they’ve disrupted their successful deliveries to Chicago. The cartel believes their safest route to Chicago is through The Rejects territory and the Fallen Angels as well. Prior to this mess with the Rejects, the Fallen Angels allowed the runs through their territory and just turned a blind eye. But now they’ve joined forces and stay in the cartels way. The two MC’s have other illegal forms of making their money which includes prostitution, among other things. The cartel is distributing some pretty nasty heroin in the area and they’re seeing more overdoses and drug related deaths in the area. Mostly among young people and members of MC’s, but also within the world of prostitution.”

“I’ll do it.” There was no question after I heard that tidbit. My mother died with a needle in her arm, so if I could do anything to help young people avoid the same fate I was on board.

First Holiday

Travis

Our hands were joined as I pressed them deep into the mattress. I loved watching her fall to pieces under me, it was the most beautiful and thrilling thing I ever witnessed. I loved her so damn much and never could have dreamed my feelings for her could grow even deeper than they were when I first dove into this relationship. I never knew that a love could grow so intense that sex would reach to heights that were well off the charts. As I came it wasn’t just a sexual reaction, but a soul clenching, heart exploding, and full body experience that shook me to my core. I never wanted to let go of her. I needed to stay deeply rooted inside her as I caught my breath and willed my heart to calm. Eventually my lips caught hers and I could have stayed there kissing her into eternity. One last moan from her caused a reaction that caught me off guard as my balls tightened and suddenly one last shot of my warmth exploded inside her, even though I already had an orgasm, and it calmed. “Jesus fuck, Wrenly!”

I buried my face in her neck and shut my eyes, willing myself to calm down. I didn’t know what she was doing to me. After years of struggle, my body was hyper sensitive and sometimes shocked me how it didn’t just respond to her touch but her presence as well.

There was no doubt that Wrenly was my life force. We had such a deep connection that I felt completely fulfilled. I was content with my life at Creed’s Lake before she returned to my life, but now I felt complete.

I lifted my body and looked down at her, slowly releasing her hands then brushing her beautiful hair from her face. “I love you.”

Her eyes studied mine then the edges of her gorgeous lips turned up. “I love you too, always.”

It had been a month since we joined the SWAT team together. If only she knew what she did to me during training. As members of a SWAT team, mental and physical training was a constant. It was always that way at Creed’s Lake as well, but we did that on our own time. With SWAT we had to do it as a group. Nobody could ever understand the struggle when the woman I love was dressed in her workout gear and I had to watch that body I constantly craved working out. Jesus she was hot. Not just because of her physical attributes, but also that damn mind of hers. Holy shit she was smart, and her reflexes were unbelievably fast. During mock trainings she was the mastermind of tactical resolutions planned out within seconds, and I could easily see her becoming a tactical team leader, and I know Darren saw it as well. I was the counter Sniper, but of course still trained with everyone. Pride wasn’t enough to describe what I felt as I watched her in these mock trainings.

It was a very intense internal battle before I finally rolled off her and pulled her into me. I kissed the top of her head as I held her in my arms. If felt so damn good to be bare inside her. We were using condoms, choosing the natural rhythm method as birth control. We decided after her visit with the doctor that it would be the best method for her situation. The pill wasn’t a choice, neither was the shot and I was against the idea of animplant, but instead offered a vasectomy. According to Wrenly that was out of the question. We did research with the guidance of her doctor and decided the rhythm method combined with the barrier method during her fertile time was the best answer. She of course took ovulation tests to monitor the situation. I was willing to do what Wrenly felt was best for her body. But damn, it felt good to go bare.

We were exhausted and we had made love late into the night. It was the eve of Thanksgiving, and my sweet girl was excited. She always loved the holidays, but they didn’t really matter much to me. Growing up they were good, but they were always laced with disappointment and eventually resentment. My parents rarely celebrated, instead my mom was always off serving the greater good by not only searching for Bobby, but as I learned later, building a career out of it. She refused to acknowledge a holiday without Bobby. My dad was probably with his other family, so I was with Tony and the rest of my extended family.

I had no recollection of falling asleep before I was woken in a very interesting way. At first it was a dream then I realized I felt something very real. That being Wrenly's gorgeous bee stung lips wrapped around my cock.

“What are you doing? Jesus Wrenly.” My groggy rough voice was still filled with sleep.

I didn’t even open my eyes and decided to lay back with my hands behind my head to let her take my entire body over. She sent tingling sensations through me as she took me deeper and deeper into her throat. My chest rose and fell quicker as I came closer to exploding. Curse words escaped my lips the more intense it felt. I felt my balls tighten and I warned her, but instead of stopping she took me deep and I exploded down herthroat. I watched, and was out of breath when she finally looked up at me.
