“Then show me you want this as much as I do.”
My movements were clumsy because I didn’t know what to do, but I began to move slowly, sliding up and down and circling my hips. Leaning forward a little, I braced my hands on his shoulders and searched for the right rhythm, watching his face for signs of what felt best for him. When his pupils expanded and his nostrils flared, I knew I was on the right track. I quickened my pace, circling my hips on each downward thrust. My thighs trembled as I rode him hard, a sheen of sweat coating my skin. My core tightened around him as I got closer to my orgasm, making it more difficult to thrust down on his cock.
“Gonna make you come before you send me over the edge,” he rasped as he lost control, surging upwards, his hips grinding into me.
He fucked up into me, driving his cock all the way inside me, his balls slapping against my ass. It was exactly what I need to trigger my orgasm. Morgan didn’t hold anything back, slamming his cock into me, over and over, until he was coming too. When his hands left my hips, I dropped down onto his chest, boneless. My head nestled on his shoulder and my legs slid between his.
My eyes were drifting closed when I felt his lips on the top of my head. “Sleep, my Angel. Everything will be okay. I’ll make it so.”

MORGAN
I’d never been more grateful for how soundly Angelica slept than when my cell vibrated against the nightstand in the middle of the night. I slid my arm out from underneath her head and rolled off the mattress, grabbing my phone and quietly exiting the room before answering the call without bothering to see who it was. Considering the time, I already knew it wasn’t going to be anything good. “Cadwell.”
“Is that any way to greet your best friend when he busted ass to fly halfway across the country to come to your girl’s rescue?”
I chose to ignore any reference to him saving my Angel because it would only result in me wanting to punch him in the face. “You’re here?”
“Brought a team with me, too.”
“Hold on a second,” I instructed him, slipping back into the bedroom to grab some clothes from the closet. I didn’t want to meet his guys naked as the day I was born. After checking on Angelica to make sure she was still sleeping, I left the room and softly shut the door behind me. “How far out are you?”
“We’ll be at your house in five minutes.”
If his middle of the night flight with a team of his employees didn’t clue me in on the seriousness of the situation, then the fact that he’d have had to use the private airstrip down the street from my home would have. “Use the back door. I’ll have coffee waiting.”
I grabbed my gun from the safe in my office and tucked it into the waistband of my jeans before heading into the kitchen. True to his word, Brecken walked in five minutes later, followed by two burly men and a tall, athletic looking woman.
“It’s good to see you, man.” I pulled him in for a quick hug before stepping back and scanning the faces of his team. “I just wish it was under better circumstances or at least with a little more warning.”
“No time to waste,” he muttered, gesturing for his team to take a seat on the stools at the granite counter while he pulled me to the side. “I got confirmation they’re planning to move in on her in the next twenty-four hours. We need to take care of this now, before they send a team of their own after her.”
“What’s the plan?” I asked, holding onto my temper by the barest thread, knowing it wouldn’t serve a purpose to lose it. The only reasons I was able to keep it together were knowing my Angel was safely upstairs in my bed and that I could always count on my best friend to have a plan.
“How much money do you have laying around?”
I did a quick tally in my head. “About a quarter of a mil if it has to be cash, closer to two if they’ll take diamonds and bearer bonds.”
He whistled softly. “I should have hit you up for more money when I started the business.”
“You help me get my Angel out of this mess and you can ask for whatever you want.”
“You may not be my brother in blood, but you’re my brother where it counts.” He thumped his chest, over his heart. “There’s no fucking way I’m taking payment from you to save your girl.”
“I think Boss man’s gone loco,” one of his guys muttered from behind us. “You don’t ever look a gift horse in the mouth.”
“Shut the fuck up,” the female operative countered. “You damn well know his loyalty is the reason we signed on with him in the first place.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah,” the other guy grumbled. “But the promise of earning a shit ton more than we did in the military certainly didn’t hurt.”
“Enough,” Brecken barked at them before turning his attention back to me. “The plan is to leave Sera behind to watch over your girl while we head out to pay off the Chechens. And we’d better hope they’ll take diamonds because the cash alone isn’t going to cut it.”
“Her father’s that deep into them?”
“Deeper,” he murmured. “The money and diamonds will get your girl out of this mess, but the Chechens still want his ass once they manage to locate him.”
“They can have him,” I growled. “As long as he stays away from Angelica, I don’t give a damn what happens to that piece of shit.”
