[The Shifters Committee 05.0] Sensual Hero
Page 16
Not sure how he escaped from the house or even which direction he went, Jada was slightly hurt, but she knew that this was the way that things had to go. Everything had gone way too far and it had to stop before it got too far beyond her control.
Lucas was a good man, but she could not get wrapped up in that side of things. She had to stay focused on the fact that he was a fugitive. She was happy that he'd made the exit that he did.
That way she was not responsible for withholding information. As far as she was concerned, when she told her boss Charlie B that while out on a date with Lucas that he'd excused himself to go in the house for more champagne, and after he did not return twenty minutes later, she went inside to check on him. When she did not find him anywhere in the house, she dressed and called a cab to take her back to the villa.
Even though there were undercovers standing by Jada's every move, Lucas had managed to escape past everyone.
"We've blown the entire case at this point. Now we will have to figure out how to set up surveillance again on him, only we will have to wait until he goes back on the grid. Jada, thank you for doing the best that you could in this instance.
Dealing with a criminal like Lucas Davis was not supposed to be easy. And we all did the best we could in this situation.
Tighter surveillance on him in the next locale and I think at this point, we have enough to apprehend him. Let's do a sweep of his villa and print and bag anything that looks like it could help the case. He may have left some stones unturned."
Charlie B gave Jada a pat on the back. "You may have a career in the FBI yet. It just takes a bit of time. But good job so far."
Jada was given a ride back to her villa to pack. She clutched the note in her hand as she flopped on her bed.
Thank you. I wish you the best.
Those few words spoke volumes. Jada knew that he could not say much more than that and she did not expect him to. The time that she and Lucas spent was borrowed. It was never theirs to begin with. She could not claim him, or make any of it long term. It was coming to an end, even as it started.
Jada ripped the paper to shreds and flushed what she could. There was no reason to hold on to it. There were only going to be memories of the man that she'd met and fallen for. It would be sweet memories nonetheless.
That was all that mattered. She hoped that Lucas would be safe. And as her plane soared in the sky above the clouds to bring her back to US soil, her mind raced thinking of where Lucas could be.
Maybe another island, maybe back to New York, or maybe he'd stayed there right under their noses. Either way, it was over and he had not been upset with her. Things could have been worse, but she knew from the note that he'd forgiven her. That was all that she needed to move on.
She had another assignment once she returned home.
Love was always desired.
Life moved on.

Chapter One
“Seriously, you won’t do it?” Donovan Moore asked the woman on the other line.
“No, I don’t want to get dirty. I’m not into riding dirt bikes or anything,” the woman on the other end explained.
Of course. Her name was Camille Thompson, another one of his family friends that his family urged him to be with. Of course Donovan did make his own money, but he came from a rich family as well, and the fact that it was this hard to find a woman who could please him simply irritated him.
“But I thought you would at least try it?” he asked her.
“No, I don’t want to. I just got my nails done, and the last thing that I want to is to ruin the paint job by doing something such as riding bikes or anything of that sort,” she mused.
“What about skydiving? You won’t have to get dirty then,” he offered. His family urged him to go on a date with Camille. She was beautiful, rich, and she was also an heiress to her family’s business. However, as seen here, it was proving to be a big mistake in terms of ideas.
“No, I would rather not do that. It’s not my style,” she said with a simper.
Donovan was grown anxious. So this woman didn’t want to even try out these things, in fear that she might break a nail or something stupid like that? He was growing frustrated, and with a sigh, he poke once again.
“Fine. Just don’t come whining to me when you never find a lover,” he retorted.
Before the woman could say anything else he hung up with a huff. He was tired of these little pansies, nothing but a bunch of bitches who wouldn’t dare act on their own personal desires for fear they might break a nail or something really dumb like that.
Donovan was a thrill seeker, and adventurous man who loved extreme sports. He definitely wanted a girl who could keep up with his lifestyle, but also one who was interested in getting down and dirty in the bedroom too.
He had girlfriends in the past, and he did have sex before, but all of that was way too vanilla, and he didn’t know what to do about that. However, it definitely was something that he was interested in, and these little girls who would act like princesses certainly didn’t help with his needs and cravings.
Donovan sighed. Guess he would just have to wait for the moment to pop up for him. He noticed that he was going to a Red Bull event in France, an extreme sports event where some of the top competitors would be racing one another.
This was a summer sports event, so he was expecting dirt bikes, racing, and other fun. However, what he didn’t know, was that his prayers for a girl who could keep up with him would be answered, but in the most unlikely circumstances.
“Guess I’ll just have to keep it in check till I find the right person,” he told himself. Even though he was a billionaire, he wasn’t happy because he wanted a life that was full of thrills, chills, and other amazing things not this little simpering bitch crap like how these other girls rolled.
Donovan then left his room, packing the stuff from his closet. He would go out to race dirt bikes and such later, but for now, he needed to get ready.
The next day, he got on his private jet that was heading for Paris. He had a private airport just outside the city, close to where the extreme sports event would be held. He knew that it wouldn’t be held directly in the city due to how busy it was there and the lack of room, but he was excited to at least be in the country.
It had been a while since he was able to have a nice vacation like this, and even though he knew that it could end up becoming problematic for him, Donovan hoped more than ever that this event would be the start of something new.
He checked into his villa right near where the races were, a private establishment that certainly looked prestigious and felt prestigious. But of course, Donovan was watching out for any woman who would catch his eye, anyone who seemed to be someone that he could have fun with.
He also had plans to go skydiving this weekend too after the events he saw, and Donovan was ready to hopefully find a girl who would be interested in that sort of thing.
The next day, Donovan went to the racetrack, and that’s when he saw it. There was a beautiful, curvy girl with long, black hair that was tied back in a tight bun.
She was wearing a racing suit, but there was something about her that immediately got Donovan excited and piqued his interest. It wasn’t the fact that she was gorgeous, it was the fact that she had the look he was looking for, the determination and the look that she wasn’t afraid of anything.
That’s what he wanted.
Donovan craved a woman who could look like that and regard life in that fashion. There was something just so damn attractive about it. She was talking to the others, probably her sponsors, and she had a smile on her face.
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. I’ll take the risk and see if I can go faster,” she told them.
“Are you sure Marissa? I know that it’s not an ea
sy course or anything, and you might wipe out,” her sponsor asked.
“Don’t worry, I’ve got this. I’m not some little kid anymore,” she insisted.
Donovan liked this chick already. The fact that she had a very “don’t give a fuck” attitude about the dangers of things, while also being determined to see it through to the end, definitely interested him.
Donovan would talk to this woman later, but for now, he sat on the sidelines and watched the races. It was an extreme sports event, and her event seemed to be the BMX races.
He watched as she got onto the bike, noticing that she had a cute butt as well. Of course, Donovan was more interested in how much of an adrenaline junky she was. She was getting herself ready, and soon Donovan saw the other competitors as well. This was definitely not what he was expecting.
However, as soon as the horn went off, the racers started. Immediately, he noticed the Marissa girl going super fast, faster than even he had ever seen before. He knew some of these racers were a bit crazy, but he didn’t expect it to be like this.
He always knew they loved to take it to another level, but she was immediately going through the turns, jumps, and even the obstacles without even taking a break or stopping. She was going a t a ridiculous speed as well, and Donovan gulped as he watched her continue the race.
It went on for a while, about thirty minutes, but it seemed like the passion and the heat weren’t even stopping. She continued this, and Donovan had to admit, it was certainly not what he thought he would be getting into on this trip.
He thought he would step to the sidelines and watch, but this woman was one that he wanted to get to know in other ways, other sexy ways. After the race, she got off, smiling and holding her hands up in the air.
She won the race in her division and was in the top three overall. Everyone was congratulating her, and for Donovan, this was the first time he ever felt this nervous around a woman.
There was something almost sexual about the way she was moving around, and it was definitely something he enjoyed. Even he felt like this was taking a risk, but suddenly he moved towards her, grinning widely and extending his hand.
“Hello there, I’m Donovan. You raced great,” he told her.
She looked at him, a bit confused for but a moment, but then she smiled, and Donovan knew that the rest of this vacation would be unlike anything he ever expected before.
Chapter Two
Marissa looked at him, smiling as she took his hand. The other people clamoring for interviews left her as soon as they saw Donovan. Donovan gave them all a friendly smile before turning to her, looking at her with a winning smile.
“Hello there. I take it you watched the race?” she asked.
“I did. You’re amazing. A real thrill junkie. I like that,” he said.
“I’m glad. I’m Marissa, if you didn’t already know that,” she stammered.
“Donovan. Donovan Moore,” he told her.
The woman’s eyes shot up, lighting up with happiness.
“I can’t believe it’s you! I heard all about you, but I didn’t think you would show up to this event. Isn’t this all the way on the other side of the country?” she asked him.
“Yeah, well I’m really into this sort of thing. I wanted to watch the races, and yours stood out,” he told her.
She grinned at him, a happy smile that said everything. “Well I’m glad my thrill and lust for adrenaline is attractive. Most people stay away from me because of it, but you’re the first to come up to me and actually say it was a good thing,” she admitted.
“Of course it is! I mean, I would rather have a woman who was into the thrilling elements of life than just sitting around and biting her nails,” he told her.
“You and me both. Most men can’t handle me. But I think you might be one who can take the challenge,” she said with a small blush.
He looked at her, and already he was turned on. God, this woman didn’t have to do much to get him excited, and he liked this woman’s antics.
“So, what you doing after this?” he asked her.
“Well, nothing really. I mean, if you want to go out and do something, I’m game,” she told him.
“How about skydiving? I have these two tickets to one of the places in France, and I was thinking if I could find the right woman to come with me, it would be a whole slew of fun,” he admitted.
She looked at him with wide eyes and a grin. “I would love that!’ she told him.
They got away from the racetrack and then went to his car. It was a fancy truck, and soon Donovan was driving the two of them through the country to the field where the airplanes were. Donovan turned to her, grinning wildly.
“I’m excited to do this. I know that it’s certainly something that we both will like,” he told her.
“True. I mean, this is going to be interesting,” she admitted to him.
They got out, heading towards where the place to get ready was. There was a man there, and when he saw Marissa, he immediately grew pale.
“Whoa, I never expected you to be here!” he told Marissa.
“Yeah, well I have a date today. So let’s get suited up,” she told him.
“Oh yea,” the man replied.
Soon, Donovan and Marissa were taken back, the gear being put on. For Donovan, he was excited to do this again. He had done this once before, and he certainly enjoyed the feeling of practically free-falling out of a plane.
However, Marissa had a look on her face that exuded determination, and he wondered why that is.
“What you thinking about there, Marissa?” he asked.
“Oh, I’m just excited for where this will take us. It’s been a while since I’ve done this sort of thing, so I’m pretty pumped for this,” she admitted.
He nodded. “I am as well,” he told her.
They finished getting ready, and the first person took Donovan and led him to the place where they would prepare for this. Of course Marissa just stuck around alone.
“Aren’t you going to do this with someone? I don’t wat you getting hurt,” Donovan asked.
“Oh don’t worry about me. I know what I’m doing,” she told him.
He was shocked that Marissa had done this before. He hoped that this date wasn’t boring in her eyes. However, he could tell from the small glint of fire in her eyes that she was excited about this, probably as much as he was. She got in the plane, and he followed suit.
“Are you sure you don’t want to jump with someone?” the woman asked.
“Don’t worry, I’ve got this. I have my license to do so,” she said with a smile.
The woman nodded, a little bit wary. Even Donovan was shocked by this. But then, the airplane started, and they were soon up in the air.
Donovan felt the person behind him strap their body to his, and Donovan could feel the nervousness coursing through his body. He was excited, but at the same time worried for Marissa. Had she done this so many times that it was natural to her? He really didn’t know.
However, when it was time to jump, Donovan offered to go first, but she shook her head.
“Nah, I’ll do it first,” she offered.
Then, she moved. She jumped off like a professional diver, and Donovan watched with fear. What if the parachute didn’t release in time? Donovan moved forward, and soon he jumped off as well.
The feeling of falling always shocked him when he did this. It wasn’t necessarily fear, but it was more of the sudden feeling of moving as fast as he could.
He was falling fast, and suddenly, he felt the parachute open. However, when he looked down, he saw that Marissa hadn’t opened her.
“Shit is she going to be okay?” he asked.
“I think so. I just hope I don’t have to run down and rescues her,” the man replied.
Then, it happened. Her parachute opened up in the nick of time, and suddenly, she was on the ground, walking a little bit and smiling with excitement. Donovan landed as well, and he looked at her with amazement.
/>
“I can’t believe you’ve done that on your won! And you opened it so late,” he exclaimed.
“Well, I was excited to see what might happen if I took more of a risk. Needless to say, I was happy with the results,” she told him with a smile.
For Donovan, he started to wonder if this woman would give him a heart attack with everything that she did. He certainly loved the thrill, but the fact that she was already doing dangerous things like that did worry him to a small degree. However, after they took everything off, Donovan took her to dinner. They went to this small little French rest aunt, and when they got there Donovan smiled.
