  ���He did?��� Brody smiled.

  ���He did,��� Emma smiled back at him.

  ���We should tell him that���s not okay��� Brody smiled.

  ���I did,��� Emma laughed.

  ���How did he react?��� Brody asked.

  ���Well we went for a run,��� she smiled, ���And then I told them I loved them and he said I love you too.���

  ���Not Gooey?��� Brody asked.

  ���What?��� Emma laughed.

  ���That���s what he says when he feels emotions, it feels gooey,��� Brody laughed.

  Emma smiled up at him, ���I love that.���

  ���I love you,��� Brody kissed her.

  They watched as Eli argued with Detective Banks.

  ���Listen if something happens������ Brody started.

  ���Please don���t, we have so much to be happy about right now Brody. Christmas as five, Gooey, Love, and you Brody, you haven���t had a dream in a few days.���

  ���I haven���t, have I?��� Brody smiled.

  ���Nope,��� she kissed him, ���I���m so happy with what we are as a family and what you and I are as a couple.���

  Brody laughed, ���Frozen bank accounts, a house full of uniforms, a sleazy detective, my lawyer, secret rooms.���

  ���Look at me Brody, I told you I wanted to be happy and you promised me I would be. Even with all the crazy horrible things that have happened ��� I���m happy. I���m so happy I met you, loved you, married you, had Lexington with you, and Maddox���s so amazing. You���ve given me more, you Brody are the love of my life and I wouldn���t change a thing. We���ll get through anything that comes our way, together okay?��� Emma kissed him.

  ���I love you so much Em,��� Brody kissed her back.

  ���Always?��� Emma smiled.

  ���And forever,��� Brody hugged her tightly.

  ���I think we should go into the bathroom, I want to celebrate,��� Emma giggled.

  Brody smiled, ���Celebrate?���

  ���Do you have any more cigars?��� Emma winked.

  ���For you, an endless supply,��� Brody winked back.

  ���Where are you going Hines?��� Detective Banks growled.

  ���To the bathroom Detective, would you like to hold it?��� Brody glared and Emma tugged his arm and laughed.

  * * *

  ���It���s got to be quick,��� Emma smiled and pulled his pants down and sat on the closed toilet.

  ���Fuck���Em…what���s with you and bathrooms���oh God,��� Brody moaned as he pushed her hair to the side.

  Emma took him in her hands, ���What���s up or should I say not up with this?���

  ���Em, there���s a room full of cops and���damn Love,��� he pushed his hips towards her.

  ���Not a good time for stage fright Music Man,��� Emma licked slowly across his head.

  ���No talking Em,��� he groaned and his head tilted back as she gently rolled his balls in her hands.

  ���Em,��� he moaned as she stroked him and her tongue followed the bulging veins down his shaft.

  ���Mine,��� she gasped and took him fully in her mouth.

  His hands tangled in her hair as he guided her head back and forth on his erection, ���Oh God yes, all yours.���

  Emma moved faster and tugged lightly on his sack. His hips moved faster and deeper into her mouth and she looked up at him when she felt the first twitch. She sucked hard hollowing her cheeks and she swallowed the first burst of hot thick fluid.

  ���Em,��� he moaned loudly as he looked down at her.

  She opened her mouth for him to watch. Her tongue danced with his throbbing head. The last burst filled her mouth and he finally breathed as she watched in awe of the beautiful man trying to compose himself, mouth still open and full of him.

  Brody stuck his thumb in her mouth and rubbed his juices across her lips and she slowly licked them clean. He pulled her up and kissed her harshly licking her tongue gently with his.

  ���Unfucking believable,��� he gasped.

  He turned her facing away from him and bent her over the sink, pulling her pants down below her knees.

  ���You���re so wet Em,��� Brody groaned as he pushed into her.

  ���And you���re���oh Brody,��� Emma moaned.

  ���Hard as hell again,��� he pushed into her harshly, ���Hang on love.���

  After Emma had climaxed twice he finally joined her.

  ���Wow,��� she moaned laying out boneless and drenched over the sink.

  Brody squeezed her ass and cleaned between her legs. She went to stand and he held her down.

  ���I just want a little taste Em,��� he said before licking her from front to back over and over again.

  Emma came again and he sucked between her legs.

  There was a knock on the door.

  ���Just a minute,��� Brody snapped.

  He slowly pulled her pants up as he kissed her behind over and over again.

  ���Where���s your wife Hines?��� Banks yelled from outside the door.

  ���In here holding it, why you envious?��� Brody snapped.

  Emma stood up as he was pulling up his pants and smiled at him.

  ���I wasn���t expecting all that,��� she smiled.

  ���I couldn���t stop myself Em,��� he hugged her tightly, ���Look at you all flushed and hmmm. We need to get the hell out of this room before I take you again. I���ll wait out there for you. You might want to fix that hair love, I think I messed it up.���

  * * *

  Emma and Brody walked hand in hand into the kitchen smiling at each other.

  ���Brody Hines, you are under arrest for the murder of Rupert and Ann Bleek, the kidnapping of Maddox Henry, and tampering with evidence. You have the right to remain silent������ Detective Banks continued reading him his rights.

  ���Why are they doing this?��� Emma cried.

  ���There fucking idiots,��� Brody smiled, ���Clive, it may take him awhile to read me my rights, wanna help him with the cuffs?���

  ���Brody,��� Emma clung to him.

  ���The third drawer love,��� he whispered in her ear.

  ���What?��� She asked confused.

  ���Don���t get freaked out,��� he smiled and whispered, ���There���s a few things in there for you, not for them, alright?���

  ���Brody?��� Emma cried.

  ���Our accounts are frozen Em, you���re going to be alright though, okay. It���s now very safe here, as soon as they take me get Henry and the kids back here. Make them stay with you until I���m released. Call Tessa and trust no one Emma. Your family, Clive, Collin, and Tessa, that���s it okay. This fat fuck here has a problem, Clive���s going to figure it out,��� Brody took her face in his hands and kissed her.

  He felt his hands being pulled behind his back and he rubbed his face softly against hers, ���I love you more, Em.���

  Emma wrapped her arms around him and cried, ���Hasn���t he been through enough? Are you all fucking crooked? My God he gave you everything������

  ���Okay Em, we give them no more. We save it all for us, shh,��� he whispered in her ear.

  ���Let���s go Hines,��� Banks pulled him away.

  He looked up at Emma, ��
�You keep yourself and our kids safe Emma, I love you.���

  The room emptied in minutes, it took far less time for them to leave than it had before. Emma tried to breathe and couldn���t. She held her chest and fell to her knees and cried.

  ���Emma, let���s go get your kids,��� Clive rubbed her back gently.

  ���Maddox, Clive how do we keep him safe?��� Emma sobbed.

  ���We just do,��� Clive said pulling her up.

  They started walking towards the door, ���Wait, I have to get something.���

  Emma ran up the stairs and fumbled around trying to find the key.

  ���Emma, we really need to get them all back here, to keep them safe,��� Clive said fiercely.

  ���I don���t understand, Elizabeth���s dead, we���re alright������ Emma stopped, ���You think, oh my God Clive.���

  ���Let���s go Emma,��� Clive and Emma ran down the stairs and to the car.

  Seventeen

  Emma looked at the clock and it was almost noon. She couldn���t remember the last time she���d slept in that late. But she���d never had three kids that had been dragged through hell and back in a matter of hours either.

  She looked to her left and London was sound asleep, to her right Lexington was snuggled tightly against her and next to her was Maddox.

  He opened his eyes and looked sad, ���Are you okay Maddox?���

  ���I really have to go to the bathroom,��� he said softly.

  ���Go,��� Emma smiled.

  Emma carefully picked Lexington up and took her into her room and laid her down. She���d woken up three times after they got home. Emma knew that her schedule was shot to hell today, she was just going to have to go with it.

  Emma walked back into her room and London was still asleep. Maddox walked out of the bathroom and Emma motioned for him to follow her.

  They walked into the kitchen, ���Are you hungry?���

  ���I���m okay I can wait for everyone else.���

  ���You don���t have to, aren���t teenage boys supposed to be hungry all the time?��� Emma laughed.

  ���Your father ordered pizza and wings it should be here soon,��� Caroline kissed Emma and hugged Maddox, ���Good afternoon.���

  ���Good afternoon Grandma Caroline,��� Maddox smiled.

  ���The girls asleep?��� Caroline asked.

  ���Yes, Lexington���s in her crib and London���s in our room,��� Emma grabbed two glasses of water and handed Maddox one.

  ���Your father���s going to take you to see Brody in a couple hours, right Emma?��� Caroline asked.

  ���Yes,��� Emma said swallowing hard.

  ���May I go?��� Maddox asked quickly.

  ���Oh Maddox,��� Emma hugged him.

  ���Grandpa���s still trying to sort out your paperwork, until then you���re kind of in hiding,��� Caroline hugged him.

  ���Let the boy breathe, ladies,��� London laughed.

  ���Okay I���m going to run upstairs and shower and get ready,��� Emma looked for Clive and he nodded, ���I���ll try to hurry.���

  * * *

  Emma walked into the closet and looked for the key, it only took her a few minutes to find it. It was pinned inside her wedding nightie, one that Brody had her wear monthly before he disappeared.

  She unlocked the door and walked into the closet and looked at the drawers, she didn���t want to open it, it felt wrong. She stood back and took a deep breath and decided to open the top one.

  There was a note.

  Em,

  I know you so well. Always the lady, cautious and careful. Unless of course you���re with me. I love you, take a chance Em.

  Yours,

  Music Man

  She held it to her chest and smiled.

  Emma opened the next drawer. It was full of vibrators

  Love,

  Really you���re going to have to move faster without me, lots at stake. Us and them. There���s no turning back, you���re mine and I���m yours, regardless of what we have to do to stay that way forever.

  Yours Always and Forever,

  Music Man

  Emma smiled and placed the notes back in their perspective places and closed the drawers.

  Emma opened the third drawer and her jaw dropped.

  ���Oh my God,��� she whispered.

  Book 3

  CHAPTER ONE

  Emma couldn���t believe what her husband, Brody Hines ��� platinum selling recording artist, had kept a secret from her for the nearly two years they had known each other. She was MORE than surprised that she never questioned him when he���d asked her to not look in the third drawer of the secret closet���s bureau. With everything they���d lived through; her cancer, the fertility treatments, his abduction for nearly a year, his memory of her being gone, the sex videos she watched of his abuse and the ones when he wasn���t being beat into submission but obviously drugged, the deaths left in the wake of his return, a son he never knew, and even now as he sat in jail facing charges of embezzlement and kidnapping, she always believed in the love they shared. He kept things from her to protect her and their family, but this was different. Even now as he sat in jail facing charges, she knew he was innocent. He hid his personal life from the public eye but how the hell could he have hidden this? Emma smiled as she closed the drawer. She opened the drawer containing all the toys they had yet to use and closed it quickly. She stood and took the black bin that contained the scarves that he so enjoyed tying her up with and pulled out a red scarf and rubbed the silky material across her face remembering the very first time he bound her.

  Emma trusted him explicitly with her body. Something she���d never experienced. She knew now that she could never live without that trust���not while they still shared the same sun and moon. He treasured her; she knew this through the way he loved her, needed to protect her, and the way he touched her. Nothing compared to the pleasure he gave her every time they came together.

  Some would say it was dirty, hell she thought so at first too, but how could it be? If the giving of each other exclusively and completely in love, desire, and need was wrong, it shouldn���t feel so right. Brody was dominant without a doubt but submitting to his love wasn���t weakness, it wasn���t even something she did just to please him, it was a need felt by both of them and that only they could fill for each other.

  From the very first time they���d looked into each other���s ey
es they both knew, although neither Brody nor Emma thought that they were ready to move on. When they met, they were going through divorces, both not feeling that they could trust, and both hearts wrapped in armor. When fate brought them together again just hours later, he knew he wanted her, but she was resistant and his wounds were still fresh, still unhealed. He was unwilling to take a chance until he saw who she was, all of who she was. Emma tried so hard to be fierce, but he could see what she needed and she finally unwillingly exposed her weakness to him. He pursued her and didn���t let go, chiseling away at her armor until she finally realized it was him that she needed, and submitted to him. He vowed to himself and to her that he would give her a happy life.

  * * *

  Brody Hines laid on the cot in the eight by ten jail cell thinking about his next move. He���d been through hell trying to keep his vow to Emma. He was dragged back to a world he fled several years ago, a world that gave new meaning to the phrase ���sex, drugs, and rock ���n��� roll.���

  Brody���s desire to be the man he knew he could be for her was buried beneath his own armor. He fell in love with a beautiful woman, both inside and out. He could trust her fully, but his need to protect her innocence, one of the hundreds of reasons he loved her, had only brought more pain, fear, and danger into her life.

  He loved Emma���s daughter from her first marriage almost as immensely as he did Emma. London was funny and sweet and just as caring as Emma. They were his family, and he would do whatever he could to make sure they were happy, loved, and safe.

  His attempt to bring Emma���s sister Elizabeth, missing for nearly thirty years, home from hell only made their lives harder and put them in danger. In return for Elizabeth���s rescue, he missed the birth of his daughter and lost nearly a year of his life. He���d been held against his will for months, during which time he was drugged, raped, and beaten. He was presumed dead after authorities found his blood at the scene of a struggle following one of his escape attempts. Emma, however, never doubted that he was alive. She looked for him, tried convincing others, and held their family together while she waited for him to return to them. Instead, it was Elizabeth who returned, alone, bringing all of hell���s furry onto the family that Brody was trying desperately to bring peace and happiness by freeing her.
