I nod as I reach up and entangle my hands in his hair. He starts to place kisses down my neck sending a shiver up my spine. Before I know what’s happening, he has me turned around and lowers his shoulders to my waist. He heaves me up so I am thrown over his shoulders like a sack of potatoes.
I let out a squeal of shock and I hear him shush me through his teeth. He slaps my bottom playfully as he hauls me up the steps.
The look in his eyes is dark with hunger as he throws me on the bed and crawls on the bed on top of me.
“I am going to make love to you until you beg for mercy,” he groans lifting my shirt over my head and burying his face in between my breasts.
“Please do,” I coo pulling him to my lips and kissing him hard, letting him know that I want nothing more. An insatiable urge comes over me. I am red hot with want for him
“I want you to fuck me hard.” My body is aching for him, like it never has before. His eyes grow dark and I can see the hunger in his eyes too.
I push him off of me and quickly straddle him. I help his manhood go inside me then move up and down him and it feels so good. He is so sexy, and he’s mine. I want what’s mine.
“Oh God!” I shout and Luke puts his hand over my mouth trying to shush me. He sits up so I am still astride him. So he can keep his hand on my mouth. I bite down on one of his fingers.
“Ow, baby,” he says and moves his hand. “Is this what you want?” He says and he pulls me onto him thrusting hard. I scream in pleasure, again, and again. He thrusts hard until I burst into an orgasm and can’t help but yell.
“Luke, now,” I plead and he comes right after me. He’s grinning from ear to ear.
“You know the whole house heard you, don’t you?” He says still grinning.
“I don’t care. If they don’t like it they can leave,” I say and collapse onto his chest.
“I love you so much,” he purrs to me. “You can do that to me anytime,” he adds as he strokes my hair. I am very tired, lying breathless next to him. I curl up and rest my head on his chest. His heart is still pounding. He throws the blanket over us, and before I know it, I am out.
Chapter 39
I awake a few hours later blinded by the sun that is streaming through the window. Luke is still by my side and I pull the blanket over my head to shield my eyes from the brightness. Luke stirs next to me as I throw my leg over his waist and rub his chest. Feeling the ever familiar erection with my leg, I smile to myself knowing how much I turn him on. It makes me ache down deep for him and I know I will never get enough of this man.
After some more sex and a shower, we go down to the kitchen for some breakfast. I am so pleased when I smell bacon as we reach the bottom of the steps. I need some protein having used up so much energy in the past twelve hours having multiple orgasms.
Entering the kitchen, it appears we are the first ones up. Miss Finnegan is busy setting out plates and glasses when she sees us enter. “Good morning,” she says, her face lighting up when she sees us. “I was beginning to think I made all of this for no one?”
“Don’t worry, we are very hungry.” I smile at her before pouring Luke and I a cup of coffee. We both help ourselves to eggs and bacon. Then sit next to each other and shovel in the food.
“That smells great Miss F,” Jacob says as he enters the kitchen kissing Miss Finnegan on the cheek before he grabs his food. Not far behind him, Lucy enters in the same clothes she was wearing yesterday and her face is flushed with embarrassment.
“Lucy spent the night. It was late when she got done installing her program, so I made her sleep on the couch.” Jacob instantly comes to her defense not wanting her to feel shame. He gives her a wink and she smiles back at him as if she is saying thank you.
“Thank you, Lucy. I can safely say that you are going above and beyond your job description.” My response is quick so she feels no discomfort in the situation.
“It’s my pleasure, Lilly, but I think I will go home so I can shower and change before I start the day. Is that is alright with you?”
“Don’t be silly! Of course, whatever you need to do.” I wave my hand at her as if it was absurd that she even has to ask to be able to go home.
“I was thinking maybe you should pack a bag of clothes in case you end up staying late again,” Jacob whispers sheepishly to her and it makes her blush more. Luke and I glance knowingly at each other. They are not aware that we found them cuddled up last night, even though it delights me. I wouldn’t dream of embarrassing either one of them with what they are keeping secret.
“That’s a good idea, Lucy, at least for comforts sake,” I tell her. She seems nervous at my reaction and I want to put her at ease. Her cheeks flush red and I feel like she knows we know.
“Looks like Emma needs to pack a bag also,” Luke snorts as Emma walks around the island heading straight for the coffee. She looks disheveled and her hair is messed up. She is wearing an oversized t-shirt that is obviously one of Jimmy’s. I smack Luke’s thigh at his comment, but can’t help but laugh at her very obvious just fucked look.
“What do you mean, also?” Jimmy appears behind us only wearing shorts, his bare chest ripped with muscles. His face is beaming as he watches Emma sit and start to drink her coffee. She is not a morning person and the very opposite of Jacob and Lucy. She doesn’t seem to care that we all know Jimmy and her hooked up last night.
“Nothing” I shoot Jimmy a look to drop it. I did not want to draw attention to Jacob and Lucy’s privacy.
Jimmy seems to not really care what Luke meant because he shrugs it off and walks around the curved edge of the island to Emma. He places his hand deep in her hair at the scalp and he yanks her head back kissing her deeply, which she returns with equal passion.
“Good morning gorgeous,” he whispers to her loud enough we all hear. She cracks a smile at him, and I could see she isn’t totally awake. I can tell she is into him completely. He sits next to her and wraps his arms around her shoulders. She leans into his bare chest as if they are the only two people in the room.
Jacob walks Lucy out and returns to the kitchen after he has showered and changed.
I am helping Miss Finnegan clean up while Luke is on his laptop. Jimmy and Emma have disappeared into the bedroom again, which I was grateful for since they were getting very handsy with each other.
“Talk about get a room,” I whispered to Luke when they started groping each other.
Emma shot me a look for using her words against her before she headed for the bedroom. Jimmy in tow behind her like a lost puppy.
“Did you guys find out anything about the hacker?” Luke asks after Jacob returns and sits next to him.
“Not yet. Unfortunately, Shawn is coming to ‘check out the situation,’” Jacobs says nervously at the thought of his boss’s arrival. They don’t get along and I have been working on trying to get him out of his contract with the company. “I don’t think he is going to like that Lucy has connected to MSG’s systems.”
“Why not? The sole purpose of me paying the Militant Security Group a small fortune is to catch this guy, isn’t it? If he thinks he is going to come in my house and start ordering people around, he’s got another thing coming.” The whole idea of Shawn Waters makes my blood boil. He is greedy, pompous, and an arrogant piece of shit in my book.
Luke rubs my forearm lightly when I walk to stand next to him and lean on the counter. “Easy baby, you know what you do to me when you get all feisty,” Luke whispers in my ear sending a shiver down me and making my belly tighten.
“When will he be here?”
“Within the hour,” Jacob’s jaw twitches. He is so easy to read. Another reason I can’t stand Shawn is because of the way he treats Jacob. He takes him for granted and is always making him feel like he is failing.
“Don’t worry buddy, we got your back.” Luke taps Jacob’s shoulder in a kind gesture that makes my heart warm. Two of the most important men in my life are becoming good friends.
Jaco
b nods at Luke with a sincere, “Thanks.”
Luke and I study some websites for carpet and hardwood ideas for the master. I wish we could actually go out and shop, but Luke won’t allow it until the maniac is caught. So I have to deal with being a prisoner in my own home for a while longer.
Every once in a while, we hear little squeals and moans coming from the room off the family room, and being almost noon I wonder if they are ever going to come up for air. Hearing the sounds of their sex makes Luke and I giggle like school children extremely happy for our friends.
“Way to go buddy,” Luke says when we hear Emma calling out his name.
Jacob enters the kitchen with Shawn behind him. Not wanting Shawn to hear the porno going on just a few feet away, I suggested that we talk in the office.
The computer is still beeping away trying to locate the tracker. Jacob explains to Shawn the program Lucy set up.
“This is not how we do things, Jacob,” Shawn says sternly talking down to Jacob. “I’m afraid you have put MSG at risk. How could you be so stupid and let some random girl connect to our system?” He stands with his arms crossed like he is putting on a show to make sure we all know that he is the alpha male.
“She is not in our system. She is just using our network to power her program,” Jacob defends instantly. “And believe me this girl is good. I never gave her passwords and she didn’t need them.” I can tell by the way he talks about her that he is falling for her hard.
“Talking about me,” Lucy enters the office and puts her bag at the door before she heads to the computer to check the status. She looks absolutely adorable in her light green sundress and short sleeve cardigan.
“Just in time, Lucy. This is Shawn, he is the head of MSG,” Jacobs introduces them and Lucy stands anxiously to shake his hand. Shawn keeps his arms crossed not reaching out for Lucy’s hand and he looks her up and down in disapproval.
My face burns with fury as I watch the exchange. Luke puts his arm around me sensing I’m about to fly off the handle not wanting me to get involved.
“I need you to discontinue your program and pull out of any links you have with MSG immediately,” he addresses Lucy rudely. “If you do this post haste, I will not have charges brought up against you.”
“Now wait a minute!” I struggle from Luke’s grip he has tightened on me as I walk toward Shawn. I can see the scared look in Lucy’s eyes at the thought of criminal charges. Shawn faces me as I walk straight up to him.
“I will not have you in my house ordering people around. On what fucking grounds could you press charges on her?” I shout up at him. He is a foot taller than me and I’m ready to jump and start swinging. The anger in his face shows and both Jacob and Luke rush to defuse the situation. Luke grabs my shoulders again and leads me out of the office into the kitchen.
I hear Jacob apologizing to Shawn. I know he is scared, not for himself, but for Lucy.
Shawn enters the kitchen with Jacob following telling him that they will have it all disconnected within the hour.
“See that you do, this is not going to look good in your file Jacob. I don’t know what you were thinking. Trying to get a piece of ass or something,” Shawn snorts. “I won’t lie. She’s cute, but really, risk losing your career over that?” He waves his hand in the direction of the office with disgust. Jacob’s whole body tenses and his hands are in tight fists at his sides.
“You fucking shut up!” I scream at the top of my lungs lunging at Shawn. Luke stumbles as I jab him in the stomach with my elbow to loosen from his grip. “Get the fuck out of my house you arrogant asshole.”
My body burning with anger as Shawn looks down at me smiling.
“Don’t you dare touch her,” Luke warns Shawn with a low growl.
“Oh, I won’t. You have a firecracker here,” he says looking up at Luke with amusement. “I think that it is time we part ways, Miss Sumnor. By the way, you are talking to me and I am assuming you no longer acquire our services,” he says smugly as if the threat of them pulling out and breaking the contract is supposed to frighten me.
“Really!! You picking up on that genius?” I give him my best smart-ass smile.
“So just to be clear, you’re firing us? Adeline Grace was right about you, you are an ungrateful bitch.” Shawn sneers down at me with his words hitting me like a train.
“I’m not just going to fire you, I’m going to destroy you!” I say through gritted teeth and I feel my whole body trembling with anger. I feel Luke take a step closer to me and I know that he is right behind me ready to pounce if Shawn makes a move.
“Oh, okay.” He laughs and pulls out a piece of paper and lays it on the counter with a pen. “I just need you to sign this stating you are breaking the contract and we will be out of your hair.” His arrogance is all over his face and I know that breaking the contract means a large penalty for me.
“Jacob, grab your things. I’ll contact Sam so he can remove himself and the dogs from the property,” he orders and looks at me for my reaction. As if he thinks that I forgot that Jacob, Sam, and the dogs are all part of the contract. I feel Luke come up behind me. For support or protection, I’m not sure, but he knows things are about to get nasty.
“First off dickhead, the dogs are my personal property so touch them and die.” My rage rushes through me as I clench my fists tight. “Second off, I’m not signing shit without my lawyer seeing it and Jacob is not going anywhere. Neither is Sam. That is, if he wants to stay. So get the FUCK out my house, you piece of shit!”
“Oh, but they are. Jacob and Sam are in a contract with MSG, and breaking it dishonorably will not be good for their careers.” Shawn’s coolness gone, real anger comes across his face as he leans down to look me straight in the eyes.
“Back off, that’s your only warning!” Luke growls behind me and Jacob is at his side to back him up.
Shawn steps back with fury in his eyes. He assesses the fact that Jacob and Luke both look extremely pissed off, and one wrong move could make him pay severely. “There will be people here to collect the equipment. If you stay here, Jacob, you can kiss your career goodbye,” he says inching his way to the door wanting to get the heck out.
“All of the equipment has been bought and paid for by Miss Sumnor, so no one will step foot on this property,” Jacob says firmly as he walks at him pushing him closer to the door. “Oops, did I just let out one of MSG’s dirty little tricks.” He smiles at Shawn’s reaction, at the fact that Jacob has just revealed that MSG has probably been profiting off of reselling equipment over and over.
“You better get a lawyer because we are pressing criminal charges against that little cunt in there.” Shawn waves in the direction of the office referring to Lucy. It was the straw that broke the camels back, because Jacob lunges for him and punches him square in the face knocking Shawn off his feet.
Jacob goes toward him again fist ready when Luke catches his arm keeping him from hitting Shawn again. The one punch did him in. Shawn rubs his face and makes his way to his feet as Luke opens the door so he will leave. He stumbles out and we hear, “You’re going to regret this,” just before Luke shuts the door on him.
Chapter 40
“Holy shit!” I hear Emma. I realize her, Jimmy, and Lucy are all standing on the sidelines with shocked looks on their faces.
“Holy shit is right!” Jacob rushes to me and gives me a giant bear hug lifting me off my feet. “That felt so good, thank you, Lil’.” He beams then sets me down and walks toward Lucy pumping the air with his fist. His adrenaline high, he picks Lucy up like she weighs five pounds and plants a very serious, very long kiss right on her lips. She wraps her arms around him and when he sets her down her face goes flush from either embarrassment or excitement, maybe both. They walk out of the kitchen and I see him guiding her toward the stairs.
“Jesus, Lilly,” I’m standing in the same spot still trembling, as Luke’s eyes are dark staring at me. I can’t tell if he is pissed or turned on, and I can’t help but s
tart crying. All the emotions come rushing through me. I also start to laugh. I must look the sight standing in the middle of the kitchen laughing and crying at the same time. Emma runs to me and throws her arms around me. She is laughing also.
“Oh, Lil, that must have felt so good.” She beams at me with a look of pride on her face.
All my muscles have been so tense that I feel weak. Emma is holding me up and I am laughing more now than crying. She guides me to the table and helps me to a chair. It feels good to relax my muscles and I search Luke’s face for his emotions. He is still staring at me and I still can’t tell what he is thinking.
Emma senses the air between us and she looks down at me. “Jimmy and I are going to go out for a while, we need some fresh air,” she smiles at me, “I am so proud of you girl.” She gives my shoulder a squeeze and her and Jimmy disappear from the kitchen.
I hear thunder in the distance. A storm is moving in and the sky is turning grey. It sends a shiver through me. I’ve always loved storms because of the excitement.
Luke walks to me, and before I know it, I am in his arms and he is hugging me tight. His lips hit mine so hard that I think I will have a bruise, but I don’t care. The intensity in his kiss makes my body burn. He holds me tight to his chest, his tongue darting across my lips. I wrap my legs around his waist and run my fingers through his soft hair.
“I want you so bad,” he moans and starts to walk out of the kitchen. Still holding me, he kisses me as he climbs the stairs and we are in our room before I know it. With one arm supporting my back, and the other hand on the bed, he lowers us down. His mouth explores mine then he starts to trail kisses down my neck.
“Luke,” I moan hungrily as his hands are now up my shirt and squeezing my breasts. My hands are on his back and I struggle to get his shirt over his head. I want to feel his skin against mine. His muscles ripple and tense under my touch and I finally get his shirt over his head.
