“Then listen to me.” Dax’s voice was like molten metal. “The two UCs are posing as brothers. If one of them is found out, the other one will be disposed of too. I’m calling in the FBI now, Texas and Kentucky. Things are about to get crazy, and you’re going to need some help.”
“Yeah. I’m afraid I will.” As he spoke, Jack retrieved his Glock and slipped it back into his middle-of-back holster.
“Stay where you can hear the phone.”
“I will. I’m sorry, Dax. And I gave him the picture.”
“There really was no alternative. If you’d denied him that, it would’ve put you both in a precarious situation. I knew it might come to this, so I’m not surprised at all. You did the right thing. His cover is intact, but we have a different set of problems. From this point on, there’s no room for error, trooper.” Jack remembered his visitor using that term. The guy had been trying to tell Jack who he was, and Jack had missed the cue altogether.Jesus, I’m slipping, he told himself.
“I’ve got it.”
“Good. She gets antsy, ask her if she’d like to be pushing up daisies. I’ve got a contact with the FBI, a good friend named CruzLivingston. He may be calling you. He’s straight as an arrow. If he asks you a question, tell him the answer.”
“That’s not a problem. I’ll welcome their help.”
He heard Dax let out a deep sigh. “Okay. We’re all on the same page. Now we’ve got two objectives, keep your girl safe and extract the teenaged chemist from Moss’s clutches. I pray to God she’s still alive.”
“Me too. Anything else I need to know?”
“Nope. I think that covers it. Keep your phone handy. AgentLivingston is a great guy, and he’ll help you all he can, but I’ve got to turn this over to him. Your local agents will probably be paying you a call.”
“Yes, sir. I’ll be waiting.”
“Good deal. Hang in there, Kentucky. Shit’s about to get real.” The call ended and Jack dropped his phone on the table.
“Is everything okay?”
“No. But it will be. Come here.” Instead of waiting for her, Jack made his way to the sofa, sat down, and pulled her down onto his lap when she reached him. Her arms wound around his neck and his around her waist. “From this point forward, everything I do, I do to keep you safe. You will listen to me and not question. You will not whine about being confined to the house. I know you’ll understand this, so let me be clear: From this moment on, every time you want to complain, just say a silent prayer of thanksgiving that you’re still alive and another one for your safety. It’s just a matter of time before that outlaw wannabe shows up here. I’m not a praying man, but I’m praying we’ll be ready.”
Aleta buried her face in his neck and sighed. “Me too.”
Chapter 7
At six o’clock that evening,a KSP cruiser rolled up and Matt got out. He walked to the door, rang the bell, and when Jack opened it, he stuck a casserole in his friend’s hands, then turned and walked away.I feel like we’re collecting funeral food, Jack’s tired brain whispered. He waved at Matt as the cruiser rolled away, then reset the alarm system and called Aleta to the table.
They spent the evening watching a movie, but it was hard to tell what was going on with the sound turned down so low. It had to be kept that way. If there was any sound outside, he had to be able to hear it.
Bedtime rolled around, and Jack was totally strung out, his nerves a frayed rope that was at its end. They slid under the covers and he reached for Aleta reflexively. With her softness and warmth against him, he could feel himself relaxing a little. He gave her a hot, tongue-filled kiss and got back as well as he gave. In a couple of minutes, his hand found its favorite spot and he teased her hard little nub while he nipped and sucked on a tightened nipple.
“Jack? Jack. Oh, my god, Jack, I’m, I’m…” Aleta’s hips bucked as the orgasm took her. Seconds later, he was above her and thrusting into her, listening to her groan and beg. “Please, babe, harder? Please?”
“Whatever you want, sugar. I’ll give you whatever you want.” In a couple of minutes, he ordered, “Elbows and knees. Do it now.”
“But I?”
“Do it, babe. Right now.” As soon as she was in position, he slipped in behind her and thrust himself into her all the way up to his balls.
“Shit, Jack! Oh my god! That’s, that’s, I can’t… I’ve never done this before. Oh, god, it feels so good! Yeah, faster, baby!”
His hands gripped her ass, leaving white marks where they pressed. She was beautiful, her hair a mess, that found, firm ass right there in front of him, and her juices flowing down the inside of her leg. He couldn’t see her tits from that position, and he didn’t care. That ass was enough. Licking one index finger, he ran it around her dark, puckered entrance, then thrust it in up to his first knuckle. “God! Jack! Fuck! What are you doing? Oh my god, Jack, fuck me, babe. Please?”
He watched his cock slide in and out of her and smiled. She was perfect in every way, at least perfect for him. “I wish you could see how you look to me, sexy girl. Reach up and stroke yourself until you come, Aleta. Do it.”
“But I?”
“Do it, baby. Right now. Don’t tell me no.” He waited until he felt the flutter of her fingers against his balls, and he knew she was working her clit, driving herself upward. “That’s it, babe. Make yourself come, babe. You’re about to, huh?”
“Yeah. Oh, Jack, yeah. I’m gonna come. I’m… Oh!” She tightened around him and he saw stars. God, she was an amazing fuck! Her ass shook and she trembled under him. That just made him ramp up his speed, and in seconds, he emptied into her, his heat and wetness filling her and running down his balls.
