My mind is still in turmoil.I knew she was taken by a serial killer.It was the very reason why she applied for the job of deputy sheriff and bought Royce’s cabin.I didn’t know the finer details and I’m guessing not many do.
I take the bottle of water and take a few sips, letting the cold water slide down my throat.My throat still feels as if there’s a lump I can’t swallow down.Not something I can get used to, even if it’s been a few weeks.
Opening a text editor on my laptop, I type out, “Royce offered me a desk job along with my own office.”
“For real?”Helena asks, excitement written all over her face.“Damn.You really are good.”
I give her a smirk and she rolls her eyes.
She takes a few sips of her water while I open another window to do some research on Jacob Tucker.The information comes rolling in and I open another window to run a background check on his wife, Stella.Helena drags her chair closer to me and leans in to glance at the screen.
“Do you think Jacob Tucker was in on Jolene’s plan?I don’t.Jolene has always been a bitch who takes what she wants,” Helena states.
Switching between screens, I find the text editor and ask, “Were you and Jolene close growing up?Even though your grandparents raised you?”
Helena shrugs.“No.We only had the incidental family gatherings.As a child I didn’t know certain things I do now.By the time I was a teenager I understood why my mother didn’t want anything to do with me.You know, since Jolene was the money cow and I was the result of a hate-fuck.She was given an allowance from Burk, something Royce handled.Which is why he visited them regularly.Jolene would always throw it in my face how he was more of a dad to her.Nice, right?Well, I had my grandparents who raised me to be the woman I am now.Did you know my grandfather was a homicide detective?It’s why I wanted to follow in his footsteps.”
Sadness hits her and she takes a deep breath.“Apparently not for long.”
I reach out to place my hand on the nape of her neck.Her short hair brushes my skin as I pull her close.Leaning in, I brush my lips against hers.She instantly opens and allows me to deepen the kiss.
Screw fake.Spending time with her lets me know she’s the kind of woman I can allow myself to think of a future with.Hell, she’s been the only one I’ve allowed to stay near me for more than a handful of minutes.I’ve tried to run her off and yet she somehow wormed herself in my life.
Working together has also showed we’re fruitful, and the way she sucked my cock for sure as shit was something I’d like to happen long-term.Which is why I cup her face with my other hand and keep devouring her mouth.
There is no rush or need for more than a kiss.We’ve already given one another an orgasm today.Eventually, I’d like to feel her pussy clenching my cock.Like I said before, I’m a patient man.
Helena pulls back and breaks the kiss.Lips swollen from the scorching kiss I gave her, and there’s a blush on her cheeks.My cock twitches behind the zipper of my jeans.I’ve felt those lips, know how hot her little mouth is.
I let my thumb trace her bottom lip and swallow hard.Dropping my hand, I focus back on the laptop.Time.She now knows I want her and am going to give her enough space to get comfortable with me.Until there comes a time where we will fuck.
Because knocking her up for real suddenly sounds very fucking appealing.
