“FUCK! Fuck! Ah!”
Eli slams into me harder and harder and harder until “Vaughn”. My name is growled out from deep in his chest as he makes short, jerky movements, his shaft pressing harder into me each time.
He’s fully spent, but he continues to rock into me slowly and deeply.
“You’re perfect for me. Absolutely everything I’ve ever wanted. You feel better than anything I could’ve imagined.”
Eli pulls out of me and briskly flips me back over. He kisses the sole of my foot. “I love these feet.” He kisses my thigh. “I’d kill for these thighs.” He rubs his nose and mouth into the soaking wet, sensitive flesh between my legs. Licking me there and briefly sucking my clit back into his mouth. “I’d do many very immoral things to maintain access to this pretty little cunt.” His large body continues the path upward until he’s again hovering above me. His lips rest softly against mine as his cock lengthens and becomes rigid between us.
“This had better make it into your book.”
If there was ever anything worth writing about, it’s this moment.
Chapter 30
Elijah
Vaughn could sense that I have unfinished business outside of Austin. I finally told her about Abel and what he meant to me and...how he died saving me. She knows that my hesitation is why he’s dead and the reason the rest of our team is either dead or disabled. Like my family, she doesn’t see it the way I do.
They weren’t there. They didn’t see what I saw, and they haven’t lived every day since then with the guilt and the grief. Their forgiveness doesn’t bring Abel back. It doesn’t right the scale. Nothing can bring Abel back, and the only thing that can right the scale is more death. Their deaths, this time.
Vengeance is a living, breathing thing. It’s infected every cell of my body, and it will soon be set free. There are people who have to pay. Two men in particular, and every person who stands in my way to get to them.
Over my years in service, I’ve made many powerful connections, and we all currently have one goal in mind. I’ve made a deal. A deal that will bring my brother and team the justice they deserve. A deal that will bring me back to Vaughn to stay.
No more team. No more rules. Just me.
There’s a debt that must be paid. Their blood will be the cost.
Part Two
Chapter 31
Elijah
The world kept turning each time I left her. So much has happened since my final deployment. Eve has a boyfriend.Definitely not thrilled about that update. He’s a possessive psycho of a thing I’m expected to call Adam, even though I really know he’s the embodiment of Satan.Dude’s allergic to a smile.
Eve Mason moved in with Vaughn and I before my last deployment. We knew immediately that she was the one.So kind and genuine.She needed us, and we needed her.Still do.She’s like the little sister Vaughn never had. I, of course, used my connections to find out what I could about her, and it was clear right away that things weren’t as they seemed with Eve. First, there were the scars. Some on her face. Others, rarely visible, are on her body in various places. Then, there was absolutely no record of Eve prior to a car accident at the age of fourteen. Even her age was assumed at the time since no one came to claim her, and she had no memory of her life before the accident.
My deployment came way too soon, so Vaughn and I couldn’t dig into Eve’s past as deeply as we wanted. Fortunately, she and Grizzly were able to continue the search with hair she got from Eve.My clever little devil. Grizzly ran the hair for a DNA analysis that eventually linked Eve to a family in Colorado.
After things settled, Vaughn and I flew North to track our new lead. We had decided it would be best to track the family down and find out more about them before telling Eve. Unfortunately, we had only just settled into our hotel when we got the call to rush back. My blood hasn’t boiled like that since the now scalp-less rotting piece of shit Paul Walker took Vaughn and my boys.Now that was an artful event. Some of my best work.
Too bad my sweet little Evie tortured dear old wannabe dad to death, because I had really wanted the opportunity to show him some things I learned in Kazakhstan during my third year in the Navy.Endless possibilities.
Eve’s self-proclaimed father attempted to take her and the psycho boyfriend’s sister back with him to star in the ultimate snuff film.Sick fuck.That gutless son of a bitch raised my sweet Eve in his fucking basement. He manipulated her and lied to her, forcing her to fight and kill.What I wouldn’t give to bring that mother fucker back for just one day.Somehow, I know that what I would do to him couldn’t compare to what Adam would do. Guy’s a damn nightmare, but he’s obsessed with Eve.
With Eve’s captor dead, Vaughn and I decided to pivot on our way back to Texas and find out more about the dipshit who had attacked Eve on the street.Something just doesn’t add up about all of this.The timing. Everything.
By the time we finished at the police station, and a whole day had passed at home with Eve barely speaking a word, we learned some very interesting things. No one has been able to locate her attacker.
We know this from the detective on Eve’s case but it’s not just the police who can’t find him. There are several known associates of Paul who have been quietly looking for him through other criminal channels. He was bailed out of jail by an anonymous source in cash.Very strange.It’ been assumed by police that this was done by friends who’ve helped him out of trouble in the past. We know that this isn’t true, although we haven’t been able to verify who it was.
His home led authorities to believe he left town to escape charges.That scene was just a little too perfect. No record of him can be found anywhere. He has money in his bank account still untouched. A house in his name left vacant, and no activity on his phone.Guys like this don’t just disappear.They mess with the wrong people, and they get put down.
I do find it funny that at least two of the bad guys are named Paul, even though I do realize only one of said bad guys was actually born with the moniker.We should probably just use all future Pauls we encounter for target practice.So, it turned out that not Paul Walker, Paul also had some big-time friends in unsavory circles. These friends continue to quietly search some dark places looking for him. He was apparently quite good at whatever he did for them. We’re still working to uncover what his particular skill was.
All of this and nothing. Absolutely no sign of Paul. Now, I have zero proof and only a gut feeling to operate on, but I know down in the depths of my soul that Adam is what happened to Paul.
