“Garrett, how could you ever doubt me? I just have always had a knack for turning guys on… I guess it comes naturally for me. But you, well, you are something special that I have no words to properly describe how I feel. I love you unconditionally.”
“I know you do Lili, that call just made me a little envious, watching you undress and touch yourself for someone else. But I know it was for the cause, very well done. I have to give you great credit for that performance. Not just the sexual tease, but you really handled yourself well, almost like an experienced pro.”
“Very high praise from a man like you Mr. Ross, indeed.”
“Alright, now, before this all escalates into something more, we need to follow up with my men and make sure the $10 million has been wired.”
“Aren’t you afraid of what Barchano will do once he figures everything out Garrett? He obviously has tremendous power and influence.”
“Actually, I’m counting on it. I want to look him in the face when the deal goes south. But not until he’s either behind bars or about to be killed by Stagnoli. I’ll let fate decide the outcome. Either way, we have to be on our game to make sure that Barchano and Stagnoli think that they have screwed each other, and if that goes wrong, then at least Stagnoli will be out $30mil and both will be on camera for a major bust, putting each of them behind bars for life.”
“Does your man have enough samples to keep the roost going, you know, to keep Barchano from uncovering the truth?” asks Liliana.
“He has enough, not to worry… he’s a master magician at this stuff, so Barchano will never catch on. Let’s get back to the cottage, we have to be well rested for the big day. Tomorrow morning we fly into New York.”
“Wait, we really are going to be there?” asked Liliana, knowing how difficult it will be to face someone like Barchano, considering what he now expects. How will she get through any possible sexual advancements from her own biological Father?… the thought of it all made her sicker than she already felt from the brief computer interlude they just completed.
“Absolutely! I want to be on site when it all comes down. This is what has been missing in my life Lili, I want to thank you for initiating the plan… I couldn’t have gotten this far without you.”
“What? This is what you’ve been missing? I thought it was me?”
“Of course my dear, of course… it’s just that I’ve been needing this closure, it’s obvious to me now.”
“You mean revenge, don’t you?”
“To put it crudely, yes… revenge,” agreed a resistant Garrett. “But do not worry; I won’t put you in any dangerous position. You shouldn’t have to get any closer than arms length to this man. If he does put any moves on you, just defer it all until after the sale is consummated.”
“Okay Garrett, I trust you,” replied Liliana, knowing that she may have to retreat into her character more than Garrett could ever understand at this point, just to get through it all. “If all goes as planned, what will you do with the money that’s wired by Barchano into the off-shore account you have set up?”
“I have a fund that supports the families of policemen, FBI and secret servicemen that have been killed in action. It’s something that’s very close to my heart, and well, if all goes well, then this money would be diverted to them.”
“I would expect nothing less of you Garrett. You’re an amazing man. It just makes you that much sexier to me… and so, on that note, I think we should make haste back to the cottage, as soon as possible… all this Miss Fleming play acting, well, let’s just get going.”
“You’re quite the devilish girl little Missy. Tomorrow will be stressful and dangerous; we have to be on our game, all of us… but, tonight, I’m all yours. Just promise you’ll be gentle….” as Garrett lets out a sarcastic laugh.
“Oooooh, gentle is not normally part of my vocabulary, but I’m sure I could find a few moves to please you enough.”
“I love the sexy banter Miss Fleming, but we really have to get going,” says a serious Garret as he checks in with his men positioned in Jersey. Liliana smiles and begins to gather up her script, wigs and costume makeup to help her reinforce the new person she is to become. “Alright, everything seems to be in position… let’s get outta here,” declares Garrett.
“Shouldn’t we bring the computers, your files?” asks Liliana.
“We’ll swing by here in the morning before our flight, and grab any essentials, but we need to go light and keep this office as a functioning work place. I’ll have one of my men drop by tomorrow and create some activity, just in case we’re being watched. In fact, keep the make-up and wig on whenever in public now, can’t be too safe.”
“I think you just want the fantasy of fucking my new found persona that you’ve created… I mean, should I keep the wig and nose on all night for you?”
“You may want to, it’s a real bitch to take that thing on and off and we won’t have Cherise to help you once we leave tomorrow afternoon.”
“Seriously?! Can’t we just bring her with us… maybe a nice threesome while she fastens everything into place… just another fantasy that I’m sure you’ve thought of already.”
“In another place and time, that might be very appealing actually, but again, we need to focus on the task at hand young lady. I barely have enough left to handle you,” replied Garrett with a friendly smirk.
“Alright Mr. Ross, I’m actually happy to hear that I’m all you want.”
Garrett and Liliana carefully leave the office building, making sure they were not being followed. After putting their plans into place and setting up the cargo drop, Garrett knew that anyone capable enough could have traced the skype call back to Rum Cay and possibly discover what he was up to. Garrett wondered if he was being too careless in his approach, driven by the excitement injected from Liliana. But instead he would push such thoughts out of his mind to keep himself motivated and stay focused on what was necessary.
Chapter III
The drive back to the cottage went smoothly enough although Garrett couldn’t get the feeling out of his head, that someone was watching his every move. What they had put into effect was something so huge that Garrett himself didn’t realize the ramifications. It took someone like Liliana and her innocence to put the fire back in his life, giving him reason to even attempt something so outlandish as taking down two powerful crime families at the same time. It almost seemed as if he were living out a fantasy that he no longer thought he wanted; no longer thought was even important to him anymore. But Liliana gave him back the reason to believe in what is right and the desire to make a difference again.
Once they arrived at the cottage, they were both exhausted from the day’s events, but Liliana was not about to let Garrett forget the passion he promised her.
Liliana barely settled into the safe confines of their sanctuary, draping her tired body onto the soft sheets of the expansive bed, when Garrett suddenly lunged toward her, clasping his hands around hers, holding her forcefully down so that she could barely move. As he leaned his strong body into her, he kissed her mouth softly, using his tongue to smoothly graze across her lips, causing her to shudder with pleasure. “Tell me, Lili; is this the passion you so wanted from me tonight?” he whispered as she braced her elbows on the bed, clenching her fingers strongly around his.
“Yes Garrett, please take me… take all of me.” Her body began to move without thought, thrusting her breasts into the solid wall of his glistening chest, seeking the heat of his exceptionally strong body. “I need you so much Garrett,” continued Liliana breathlessly. He responded to her erotic needs by nibbling, then blithely biting her neck and shoulder, as he swiftly plunged into her in one long, powerful stroke. His strong steady lunges caused her to almost lose consciousness as a powerful orgasm overtook her, tossing her head back in wild delight while arching her back high off the bed, pushing her soft breasts generously into his face. He took one breast into his mouth, sucking hard, then intermittently biting and licki
ng on her elongated nipple while she cried out in unbridled ecstasy. Everything she thought was wrong seemed so right with Garrett inside her, making passionate love to every part of her pulsating body. He braced his flexing arms on either side of her body, leaving her surrounded by lean muscle and glistening hot skin. There was nothing slow or tentative about the pace he set, just hard, powerful movements that filled her again and again. Liliana pushed her hips into each thrust with loud vigorous moans, yearning for something that seemed beyond her reach, beyond her imagination. His juice exploded inside of her with such force she could almost taste him, like heady sweet cinnamon and the musky flavor of man. She claspsed onto him, digging her fingers deeply into his back, pulling him close against her. With a stark, visceral sound, his body gave in and settled over her as he kissed her deeper, only breaking apart to take desperate, greedy breaths. The sexual intensity of the moment was not lost on either person, as they lay silently, desperately trying to regain their senses.
Almost an hour had passed before the carnal release began to wear off, and their bodies were allowed to function normally again. Noticing that Liliana had seemingly drifted off to sleep, Garrett decided to qualm his hunger and headed for the kitchen. After sleepily reaching for the refrigerator door, he discovered that someone or something had disturbed the way he left the kitchen. Freshly brewed coffee was left sitting in the pot. A half-eaten sandwich was carelessly discarded in the trash. Obviously, someone had been there during their time downtown, he thought. Before he could say anything to warn Liliana, a shadow began to reveal itself from the outside of the building, and the door knob began to turn. Garrett positioned himself to the inside of the door, as it began to swing open. The dark figure slowly drifted through the exposed doorway, and as he reached out to gently push the door shut, Garrett grabbed the intruder around the neck and began to choke the man, rendering him helpless to fight back. Almost immediately, something didn’t seem right to Garrett about this man, he knew instantly that this was not any normal stalker.
“Garrett! Garrett!! What the fuck are you doing man?… let me go!” said the muffled intruder.
“What?! Bobby?!! What the hell?! What the Fuck are you doing here?”
“Well, if you could just release that choke hold a bit, I could actually tell you!”
“Right… there you go!” yelled Garrett as he released Bobby and gently pushed him into the wall. “Now, tell me why the hell you’re skulking around following me… I could’ve killed you just then!”
“Okay, okay, just calm down please. I mean, considering that you just paid off my debt to Stagnoli, I thought that I would come here to thank you personally.”
“Shit Bobby! It’s been you that’s been following me today! You’re Stagnoli’s man that was wondering the island?! What the fuck Bobby?! How the hell did you get here so fast anyway? I mean, I just wired Stagnoli the funds this morning.”
“Exactly, that’s when Stagnoli put me on a plane… to come find you.”
“You mean spy on me!”
“No, man! He really likes you and appreciated what you did for me.”
“I don’t believe that for a second Bobby. He sent you here to check up on me and keep tabs. He told you to report back after speaking to me didn’t he?”
“Well yes, but….”
“Yes, but nothing! Alright, tell him that you saw me and everything’s cool. As far as you know, I’m just chillin here, got it?!”
“Right, okay Garrett, but who’s that girl I saw you with?”
“Never mind who she is. Again, as far as you know, I’m here alone just getting some sun before going back.”
“I have to tell you that Stagnoli was pretty suspicious of your conversation. Something about a woman you were following?”
“Yeah, she was the one that owed him, but everything’s taken care of now. So, you need to stay clear of all this, it’s too dangerous. As far as you know, the girl is dead, and that’s all you found out. You can call Stagnoli in the morning and let him know.”
Just as Garrett finished giving his orders to Bobby, Liliana appears in the hallway that led into the dining area, dressed only in a shear see-through nightgown, still glistening from the passionate love session with Garrett.
“I thought I heard voices… what’s going on? Who’s this Garrett?”
“Liliana, I would like you to meet my wayward nephew, Bobby Jackson.”
“Oh, your nephew?!… the one you spoke about earlier, that nephew?”
“The one and only! Remember how I thought someone was following us earlier today, well, Bobby here had the bright idea to stay quiet as he poked his nose around our business and snuck in here earlier today while we worked. Then decided to re-enter through the door he left open for himself… am I getting this right Bobby?”
“Uh, yes sir, you have it all correct.”
“Now, I guess my foolish little nephew here, never thought that I might think he was someone else, surprising me with his bad impression of a burglar, almost getting himself killed. Am I explaining all this correctly Bobby, or would you like to add anything?”
“No sir, I’m really sorry Garrett. I just thought you might not want me here, so, well, I don’t know what I was thinking. Stagnoli got me all crazy… he’s a very scary man.”
“Stagnoli?! What? He sent you here Bobby?” asks a shocked Liliana.
“Yes he did. That’s the other big surprise Bobby wanted to share. But not to worry, we have all that figured out, don’t we Bobby?”
“Yes sir, we do, sir.”
“Relax Bobby, we’re not in the military here, although, that probably would be a good place for you right now.”
“I’m just glad you’re okay Garrett,” states Booby with genuine concern.
“But, I don’t understand. Why were you sent here by Stagnoli?” Liliana continues to ask.
“He said something about a woman… a Liliana or something, he wanted to make sure she was really dead and not with Garrett. I thought it was pretty simple, cause he told me that all debts had been paid, and he wanted to make sure there wasn’t something he could do to help, cause he seemed to really like this girl Liliana….”
Liliana began to act very uncomfortable hearing Bobby talk about Stagnoli and what he might know of her existence. After a few seconds of silence, Bobby continued to speak.
“uh… I’m starting to get the impression that this is much bigger than I thought. You’re Liliana, aren’t you?”
“Genius Bobby. Sometimes I wonder how you made it through high school. Like I said, you need to call Stagnoli in the morning and tell him that all is cool, do I make myself clear?!”
“Yes, yes, I got it Garrett. I won’t fail you. And again, I’m sorry for the intrusion.”
“Well, now that you’re here, we need to make sure you stay safe. You’re not going anywhere young man,” chimes Liliana.
“Thank you ma’am. I appreciate it.”
“You’re lucky Lili’s here Bobby, cause I might have had you sleep on the porch.”
“Garrett!” states Liliana loudly.
“Just get on the couch Bobby, we have an important day tomorrow, and you have to stay out of our way.”
“But we can’t just leave him here Garrett,” demanded Liliana.
“Yeah, I guess not. Alright, I’ll get you the same flight into JFK with us tomorrow, but you need to stay away from us. If Stagnoli gets wind that you’re with me, this whole thing could blow up in our faces.”
“What thing Garrett? You mean the cocaine drop? How can I help?”
“You can help by staying the hell away! And how did you freaking know about that anyway?!… Oh, Shit! Stagnoli… shit, he didn’t plant anything on you did he Bobby?”
“Yeah, well, he did… but I found it and disabled the thing. Then later, when he asked certain questions, I knew that he no longer was getting anything.”
“When was that?!… before you noticed me here?”
“Absolutely, I’m not completely
stupid, you know?”
“Right… that’s still debatable!”
“Garrett, I think we need to get some rest, we have a big day tomorrow,” said Liliana softly.
“Please, just let me help somehow Garrett, I want to repay you for helping me get away from Stagnoli. I have to help somehow!” begs Bobby.
“Alright, alright, I’ll think of something. But right now, Liliana’s right. We need to get to bed. I have to adjust our plans somehow, I’ll fill you in more tomorrow son, just get some shut eye.”
“Thanks Garrett… I won’t let you down!”
Garrett just smiles and shakes his head at Bobby, as he and Liliana head off to bed. The next day’s events were either going to bring down the people responsible for his family’s death or cause even greater harm to him and people that he loves. It was a huge risk, but they were too far into the plan to pull out now. And with Bobby in the mix, Garrett was already thinking about how he could use his involvement against Stagnoli. His nephew showing up at this most inopportune time may just have given Garrett the final piece to make sure their scheme goes smoothly. It had to.
