“Shh, baby. You gotta be quiet,” he says.
I remember his parents are in the next room, and my cheeks immediately warm. I wonder if they heard me. I try to move out of Wire’s grasp, but he holds on tighter and suckles my breast while his free hand slips into my panties.
“Colton!” I hiss, feeling the electric jolt run through me as his finger circles my clit. “You have to stop.” Oh, I don’t want him to stop, but I don’t want his parents to hear our lovemaking either.
“I can’t stop, baby. I need to taste this pretty pussy.” He tears off my PJ shorts and panties. Before I can squirm away, my legs are over his shoulders, and his mouth is between my legs. He eats me with a voracious appetite. His hands are on my waist, holding me down, and all I can do is feel his magical tongue swirling over my clit. I grip the sheets and clamp my mouth shut to avoid making a sound, but that’s nearly impossible as I let out a muted moan through clenched teeth.
“Colton, please,” I whisper, and suddenly, his mouth is replaced by his thick, massive cock. His mouth covers mine, stifling my cries as he fucks me hard and fast. The delicious burning ache builds and builds until I’m on the peak of the highest mountain, then suddenly, I’m pushed off the edge and fall blissfully into an orgasmic haze. My body shudders with pleasure as I grip Colton tightly in my arms, never wanting to let him go. As he nears his own end, he buries his face in my neck, sucking on my skin and moaning his release. I clench his cock with my pussy as he nips at my neck.
Slowly, he raises his head and brushes my hair from my face. “You’re so beautiful, baby,” he murmurs.
I can’t help but blush at his words. I would never have thought I was beautiful. Cute, pretty, but never beautiful. “Thank you, handsome. I think you’re the hottest, sexiest man on the planet,” I tell him with a smile. “Great ass too,” I tease. Wire begins to chuckle. Then, more seriously, I add, “Please make sure you bring that fine ass home in one piece, okay?”
He cups my cheek. “Yeah, baby, I’ll do that.”
The next day, Falcon arrives early to pick up Wire. I put on a brave face as I watch him get into the car and drive off.
“Come home to me,” I murmur as the car disappears from sight.
“It’s hard to watch them go,” Cynthia says, putting a hand on my shoulder. “I used to worry about him leaving to go back on tour.”
I turn to look at her. “You don’t anymore?”
“Not so much.”
“Because Wire is an excellent soldier?”
“That too.”
I look at her inquisitively, waiting for her to continue.
“Colton was fighting for justice, freedom, and truth. After he left the military, he fought for the same reasons, but a big part was to protect his team and brothers, and they truly are brothers in every sense except blood. But now, he’s fighting to come home and be with the woman he loves. There’s no better incentive than that,” she says, giving me a small smile. “Come on, we both need more coffee and apple strudel.”
Cynthia’s lovely, and I can see that although her husband is a strong man, it’s her strength that’s carried them through the rough times and kept Jackson focused. I give her a hug.
“I love him more than anything,” I say.
She smiles and responds with “I know.”
Chapter 18
Easy-Peasy
Wire
Falcon and I go straight from Heathrow airport to the restaurant on the outskirts of the city, owned by Luke Capone and his wife, Irene. We park across the street a while and watch as patrons come in and out of the restaurant, but there’s no sign of Luke. We’re about to leave and see if we have better luck scoping out the auto mechanic shop, they own, when I recognize two men from the photos we have on file. Luke and his oldest brother, Atilio Jr., emerge from a dark BMW, deeply engrossed in conversation, neither man looking very happy as they head inside.
“Luke and Atilio.” I point them out to Falcon.
“I spotted them. I thought Atilio turned up clean,” Falcon says.
“He did. That could just mean that he’s never been caught.”
“True enough.” Falcon nods. “Now we wait.”
Stakeouts are the worst. Time passes too slowly, and we still need to stay sharp because we’ve learned to expect the unexpected. I’m thinking we’re going to be waiting for hours, but before long, Atilio storms out of the restaurant, Luke striding after him.
“We’ll get it done! The boys are on it. We’ll find her,” Luke shouts in frustration. Even from across the street, we can hear him.
