Pinning my hands above my head, Davian brought his mouth to my ear. “Be a good girl, and let me take what is mine.”
Before I could protest, he entered me with strong, even strokes, giving me what I needed. Gripping my hips, he angled his body to thrust even deeper. In one final powerful thrust, he hit home, taking my release with him.
I was his.
Totally.
Completely.

While I dressed, my eyes fell upon Reyna as she laid on the bed like an angel. My lust for her rose as I remembered last night and the way her perfect tits bounced with each thrust inside her. The thought of losing her sent an ache to my heart, which made me thankful that I had her back. Morning sex would have been amazing, but Patton was waiting, and I wanted to get an early start to Suches so we would be back before nightfall. I promised Reyna I would never leave her, but she was in good hands. Other than the safe haven back at The Regency, the warehouse was the safest place for her to be.
Closing the door behind me, I headed to the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee before heading downstairs. Mika was already awake, which didn’t surprise me. The smell of breakfast blanketed the kitchen, and soon everyone would be awake.
Flipping over one of the cups she had laid out on the counter, I filled it to the rim. Taking a sip, I snatched one of her signature muffins while her back was towards me. “You never could resist my blueberry muffins.”
It was a fact. Mika’s muffins were the best in Georgia. “Do you blame me?”
Turning to face me, she placed her hands on the counter. “Can I ask you something?”
“You know you can ask me anything, Mika.” Mika never asked for permission to say what was on her mind. I never wanted her to think that she couldn’t.
“I think it would be a wonderful idea to have a twenty-first birthday party for Reyna. The other women and I have been talking. Reyna never had one, and it would be nice. After all, she is only twenty-one once.”
Taking another sip, I leaned in like I was letting her in on a secret. “I think that is a wonderful idea. I was just thinking about doing something for her myself.” It had been only a passing idea arising from a conversation Reyna and I had yesterday, but I couldn’t let Mika know it hadn’t been on my mind.
“I’m glad you agree. I’ll let you know what we come up with. I think Mr. and Mrs. McCall should be here when we celebrate her birthday,” Mika said, rearranging the muffins on the platter so it didn’t look like I had taken one.
“Let me know what you need me to do.” Only having attended parties, I had no clue what went into planning a twenty-first birthday. Whenever I had an event to plan, Samantha, my general manager, always took care of the details.
As I made my way down the stairs, Patton was on his way up. Stopping with two steps between us, he looked up. “The SUV is fueled. I’m ready to go whenever you are.”
“Let’s go so we can get back before dark,” I replied, as I waited for him to turn before I followed him down the stairs.
After loading the SUV with tools we thought we would need, Patton pulled away from the warehouse. Looking back at the garage door closing through the side mirror, I couldn’t stop thinking about what we would find once we reached Suches. Curtis admitted he stole fifty million dollars in diamonds from Salko as payment for what he did to Louise. I couldn’t help but wonder if the diamonds would be what we would find. It wasn’t impossible to think, mostly because of his concern for Reyna’s locket.
Once we were close to Suches, I plugged the coordinates into the reverse Geo-tracker and waited for the location to show up on the screen. Unlike what I had expected, the location was inside the city limits of Suches and not along Suches Loop. It was totally unexpected since Louise’s so-called accident happened there.
“Are you seeing this?” I turned to Patton to see his reaction.
Patton dropped his gaze to the tracker. “Are you sure you put in the right coordinates?”
Looking down at the coordinates I had written down, I double-checked them against the ones I had entered. “They are spot on. I guess we will have to see what we find there. Maybe there is a reason Curtis chose this spot.”
Twenty minutes later, Patton pulled up to a residence just north of Woody Lake. The property appeared deserted. Patton stopped the SUV and turned off the engine. As I looked around, the property was definitely abandoned. It reminded me of a scene from the movieDeliverance.Three rusted truck frames occupied the northeast corner of the property, hidden by weeds about three feet high. On the other side of the property was an old shed that looked like it could collapse at any minute. “What is this place?” I looked over to Patton as he held the Geo-tracker in his hand.
“I don’t know, but let’s find these coordinates so we can get out of here.”
“I couldn’t agree more.”
Once we exited the SUV, I followed Patton near a wooded area behind the shed. He paused for a moment, looking between the trees that overtook the grounds. “I think we better grab a shovel. If what we are looking for is somewhere in this wooded area, I have a feeling we are going to need it.”
Jogging back to the SUV, I popped the liftgate and grabbed two shovels. Holding one in each hand, I hurried back to Patton waiting on the edge of the tree line. I handed him a shovel and we made our way through the trees. The signal on the tracker started to beep, which told us we were close. The more frequent the beep, the closer we were. At one point during our search, the beeping stopped. It was an indication that we were going in the wrong direction, according to Patton. Switching our direction, the beeping once again resumed.
We continued to move deeper into the wooded area; the tracker took us further away from where we parked. The trees were so thick that only a sliver of light could be seen. It was only when the tracker gave off a steady beep that we knew we had reached the coordinates we were tracking. We were in the middle of nowhere, at least a mile away from where we parked. There was no reason to believe this was a setup. No one knew we were here. The numbers meant something. We had to take a risk, so without hesitation, we began digging away the leaf-covered soil.
