Shattered (Furies Book 2)

by Harley McRide

  The woman laughed and hit her again. “Weak.”

  Kasey smiled and looked up at her and said, “Yeah? Take your best shot, ‘cause when I get the fuck out of here, you are dead.”

  “I highly doubt that.” The woman laughed and Kasey shrugged, fuck her, the drug was working as a pain blocker as well, thank goodness. She could feel her cheeks both swelling, but no pain. But when she came off the drug, she knew it was gonna hurt like a bitch.

  Chapter Three

  Ridge, Torch, and Loki made it out of the hanger in three hours. They were met on a small dirt road that ran adjacent to the airport by a man dressed in old coveralls, a plaid button up long sleeve shirt, and a pair of old shoes. He didn’t speak a lick of English, but at least Loki spoke in the native tongue. He told him where to take them, and another hour later, they were at the hotel across the street from the large gated community where the embassies were held.

  They had changed into their clothes they were using as cover, which were those that climbers usually wore: thick sweaters, hiking boots, along with thermal pants. The man at the desk didn’t even look at them twice, especially since Loki spoke fluently to him. They had their room in no time. The three men opened the map they had been sent and looked out the window.

  “We are to the north of the Korean Embassy by three places and on the east of the street,” Torch said and Ridge leaned forward and looked closely at the map and then he walked to the window and looked for the building.

  “Hard to get a visual on the place, the best we can do is guess, but the streets are narrower than I thought, not sure how getting a car down there is going to be easy. That is really our only hope of getting her out too.”

  They all stared at the map some more, they hadn’t counted on the narrow streets. Shit, they had to be in and out before anyone saw them in order to make this work.

  Ridge walked back to the map and then said, “Figure out what modes of transport they have here instead of a car, that will be too obvious as well. Look out on the street, apparently no one can afford a nice car, so if we rented one, it would stand out. Also, people may get too curious about them.”

  Loki nodded and then he grabbed the small computer they had brought to use. He moved to the window so he could get a signal, they were running it on satellite. It took him a while and the other two continued to plan as he searched for viable means of transportation. When he finally came over he was grinning and they stared at him.

  “Guess what they have here?” Loki said and both men shrugged. “Harley Davidson Nepal.”

  “No shit?” Torch said and grabbed the computer and looked at the page and laughed. “They do, wow, I guess I never looked here, figured they wouldn’t have one.”

  The guys usually found somewhere to rent a bike if they were on a mission, since they rode every day and knew how to maneuver them through traffic easily, blame it on San Diego rush hour and the fact in Cali they were allowed to ‘split lanes’, which meant they could cut through between cars. It could be hair raising, but honestly, it made things much easier when you knew how to do it safely.

  “Awesome, order what you need to. I’m going to go out in a while, and do a little recon. Hopefully I’ll at least get a look at what the embassy looks like,” Ridge said.

  Torch nodded and said, “You look on this side. I’ll try to see over the back fence that runs along this road. There are a few places I saw where I may be able to get a look. Also, I need to get to the police station and give them a little head’s up.”

  Ridge nodded, grabbed his bag, and flung it on the couch, then looked around the room. The hotel was alright, they had rented a suite, which meant three beds in a dorm style feel on one side of the room, a small bathroom, a small kitchenette, and a couch with a television. That was the whole room, yep, the lap of luxury in Nepal apparently.

  He unzipped his bag and began to take things out of it. A small handheld camera, which looked like a cell phone, but was easier to use than the one on an actual cell. With the camera, all he had to do was point and click either upside down, sideways, or backward, whatever, the damn thing was clear as a bell when you looked at the pictures. He put it in his pocket. Then he grabbed a small gun, and pushed it into the lining of his coat. He grabbed the earpiece and shoved it in his ear but waited to turn it on until he was out on the street. Slowly he got ready, he didn’t rush like he wanted to. He was calm and collected, but when he turned the guys were already involved in their side of things. Ridge then said he was leaving and was gone.

  Ridge was focused. He wanted Kasey out of there right the fuck now, but dammit, he couldn’t rush shit. When he exited the hotel he looked around, the roads were thick with traffic, and he now understood why motorcycles were popular, but as he looked at a few of them closely he shook his head. Yeah, he figured Harleys and Indians would be a luxury over here, that most of the population couldn’t afford them, which is why Ridge knew they would have no problems getting a rental bike, most people used scooters apparently. He reached up and pressed his ear and then sucked in a breath and waited. He knew Tank would be sitting there at the com unit waiting, and he didn’t let him down.

  “Finally muther fucker, what took you so long?” Tank asked and Ridge grinned.

  “Love you too.”

  “What’s the situation?” Tank asked with a growl and then Ridge looked around and stared at the road.

  He shook his head as he saw the group of teens driving down the street on the scooters. Well, hopefully on the Harley they wouldn’t garner too much attention, he thought as he crossed the street. Although, how he was dressed, which was in a pair of jeans, his boots, a black tee, and his cut. Yeah, they all wore their cuts even when on assignment. Mostly because people gave them a wide berth when they saw them. Plus, it also made a good cover for them, people’s opinions on men or women who wore cuts were simple to exploit.

  “Across the street from the embassies, walking parameter now, stay tuned,” Ridge said.

  Embassy row, he thought as he walked the high fenced of the huge three block by eight block area. He looked like a tourist, stopping to look at the buildings all around, not just the Embassies. He held his camera out but while he was walking he had it in his hand to his side, and he was constantly clicking pictures. He was also muttering to himself, so Tank could hear him, his brother was in his ear identifying everything officially that Ridge was saying.

  He stopped on the back side of what he thought was the Korean Embassy, he couldn’t see a damn thing from where he stood, like the others, thick brush and trees hid most of the view. Hopefully the pictures will give them something. She had to be in there, because according to the US Intel, she hadn’t left.

  “Yep, that is it,” Tank growled in his ear. “The one to the south is the Russian Embassy, her last know location.”

  He kept moving, her car was supposedly close, so he focused on the license plates of the small cars parked. It didn’t take long to find it; in fact, there was a door that led to the back of the Korean Consulate right where the car was parked. Ridge turned a little, making it seem as if he was looking at anything besides what he was trying to see, which was, were the keys of the car anywhere to be seen? He didn’t think so, but it didn’t hurt to try. Shit, he was going to need to move on, or someone was bound to ask questions about why he was standing right here, staring.

  “Located her rental,” he said and then turned and wiped his forehead. “She has a bag still in the front seat.”

  Tank grunted and then he began to walk again. Taking note of everything as he did. As he moved down the street he thought about the last time he saw Kasey, he had seriously fucked up. When he admitted to himself on the flight over, that he had continued to guard his heart for no other reason than just because he never wanted to feel that sadness and devastation again when you lose someone you love. However, it was impossible, and even though he knew it was impossible, he had still never found someone he would ever take the chance on, that was until he foun
d Kasey. Damn, he would have totally taken a punch from Tank, even expected it from him when he found out Ridge had slept with his sister. Nothing had prepared him for his brother’s easy acceptance of what went on between him and Kasey.

  The only thing he had to worry about right now was Kasey and her reaction to his being the man who showed up to get her the fuck outta here. He knew she would be surprised. That was just because their parting the last time hadn’t been ugly, it hadn’t been sad, but just the truth. Kasey had taken his announcement of never settling down, claiming an old lady as being a coward. He knew because she had said that exact word before she walked out the door and never looked back. Ridge knew right when she did he had fucked up. But then he was still a little fucked in the head at the time.

  Now, he was slightly better, but he was still a man, and honestly he never got the whole girls holding a grudge thing. But he was certain Kasey would know what that meant, hell, she probably wrote the book of it. She had been right, and it was her words that pulled his ass out of the past and right into the future. Then the months and then year that had gone by, Ridge had just been waiting for Tank to say she was coming for a visit, especially since they had moved to San Diego. She loved the beach, and Coronado Island. She would get a kick out of running the SEAL obstacle course. Yeah, he needed to get her home and then they would deal.

  Ridge rounded the corner and paused because he saw a long dark limo pull out of the gates that led down the street to Embassy row. He watched intently as the car drove by. Okay, one way to get into the guarded lot. He continued to walk on, and then saw the second place he could gain entry, which was the service people’s walkway. Of course it was guarded, but there were only two of them, and he was pretty sure they weren’t ambitious to move up in the world; they looked bored and maybe a little bit distracted. Either way it would work in their favor.

  He continued to walk the entire way around the fenced in area. By the time he reached the front where he started, he was starving. He looked around for somewhere he could sit and watch. He really wanted to just bust into the gated area and get Kasey the fuck outta there, but he knew if he did, neither of them would make it very far. So he had to play it smart, she was counting on him.

  “Going to monitor,” he said and Tank acknowledged and said they were going to work on getting a detailed map of the Korean Embassy.

  He spied a small outdoor café right where he could watch the comings and goings of the Embassies. He pulled out a pad of paper when he sat down and began to write what he noticed. The waitress came and went with coffee, while Ridge made notes, making sure not to look like he was staring. No one really payed attention to him. As he sat he thought back on that night when Kasey and him had been slightly drunk, and things got a little out of hand.

  The party had raged on, but Ridge had made his way into the kitchen to cook something; he was a little more than buzzed, and still needed to get his ass on the road tomorrow morning. So having a hangover wasn’t going to be wise.

  “Wow, you’ll make someone a good wife,” Kasey teased from the doorway when Ridge flipped the omelet he had been making.

  “Well, I have a lot of hidden talents you may not know about,” he replied with grin. “You hungry?”

  “Sure, I could use something to eat, I was thinking pizza but smelling that, I’m thinking eggs sound really good. So, what secrets do you hold?” she asked as she sat down at the log breakfast bar they had in the kitchen. Ridge put his hands on the counter and winked.

  “You’ll have to wait and see,” he said and he opened the door to the fridge and got out more of everything and laid them out. “Ham, cheese, onions, and mushroom, and to top some tomatoes, sound good or you want something else?”

  She raised an eyebrow at him and then nodded slowly and watched as he cut up the ingredients while watching his food cook, impressive, she thought. They sat in a comfortable silence, Ridge finishing off their omelets and plating them, then cleaning up briefly before walking around to sit down next to her.

  He was just too damn cute for words. Wearing a Harley tee, and jeans, his hair was messed up, raw masculinity emanated from him even when he cooked. Kasey wanted to strip off his clothes and eat him up, but then, she had thought the same thing when they had met for the first time, it hadn’t lessened any. In fact, for her, it had gotten worse. When his gaze met her eyes, she saw the raw lust in his eyes and smiled. He wanted her too.

  They talked quietly together while they ate, and when they were done he picked up the plates, took them to the sink, and washed them quickly. Damn, she thought as she watched him. He walked back to where she was sitting and then sat back down and stared at her. He knew what he was doing wasn’t smart, but he didn’t give a shit. Apparently, Kasey didn’t give a shit either.

  She leaned forward and kissed him gently on the lips. She went to pull back and he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer. Ridge tried to ignore the instant attraction he had for Kasey, but it was like fighting a lost battle.

  His tongue touched her lips, working his way inside of her mouth. He was the master of kissing, she thought as he took control of the kiss. His mouth demanded that she respond, and she did. Wanting him to know that she was ready for this.

  They made out in the kitchen for quite a while. She thought he would try to take it to the next level, but he seemed content with just kissing and petting her. His hands ran up and down her back while he took her mouth. God, his kisses were so potent, she could have had an orgasm from just kissing the man. She finally started to grow impatient and tried to move her hands inside of his shirt.

  Ridge nodded and then kissed her again. Then he took a step back and held out his hand and waited. She needed to take this step all on her own. Kasey bit her lip, but she put her hand in his and he pulled her through the main room, and down the hallway to where his room at the compound was located. They all had rooms here to crash in if needed. He had yet to get a house like the others had, they were moving, so his stuff was already in storage.

  They entered his room and she attacked, there was no other word for it. He was about to turn on the light when his arms were suddenly full of the lush woman he had been lusting after for months. Ridge didn’t question it, he couldn’t, this was what he wanted. So he went with it.

  They fell onto the floor. He pushed her tee-shirt up until he found her naked breasts. She leaned back and groaned when his mouth covered her straining nipple. He bit and sucked one of her breasts as he pulled and teased the other one. She thought his kisses were good, but she had no idea the man had such talents.

  He worked his way from one side to the other, then trailing kisses down his belly until he was resting between her legs. Her panties were so wet she knew he could tell how aroused she was. Slowly he pulled her panties down her legs until her pussy was bare. Ridge pulled her legs over his shoulders and grinned up at her.

  “I’m gonna have another dessert,” he said.

  “Please!” she cried when he blew softly over her clit. He licked her as if she was an ice cream cone, over and over again until she was writhing beneath him. “Please. Please. Please,” she said over and over again, when he didn’t quite get to where she wanted him.

  “What do you need?” he whispered against her folds.

  “Shit, you, I need you!” she cried and grabbed his head, pushing him to where she wanted him.

  He chuckled and then sucked her clit into his mouth. His mouth was amazing. He rolled her nub over and over his tongue and teeth, until she thought she was going to come apart. Then he pulled back and pushed his tongue into her pussy fast, he fucked her with his tongue. Pulling back, he sucked her clit again, this time using first one finger and then two; he started a rhythm that soon had her yelling at him to finish her.

  “Hang on,” he said gruffly. “You’re a demanding bitch.”

  Kasey reached down, grabbed his head, and pulled him up until she could look him in the eye. “Make me come now, or I’ll cut your cock off, tie i
t to your tailpipe and drag it all around town.”

  “Well then, I guess I had better get busy,” he said and grinned again when she pushed his head back between her legs.

  He started all over again, teasing her into a frenzy. Using his tongue and teeth, he sucked and nipped at her pussy until she was ready to fly apart. When she felt his fingers curl in her pussy and hit her G-spot was all it took to send her over. She had one of the best orgasms of her life and screamed.

  “Damn, you are loud,” he said and kissed his way back up the body.

  “You love it,” she said and smiled when he kissed her. She tasted herself in his mouth and groaned. It was his turn to be turned inside out.

  Giving head was one of her favorite things to do because she was the one in control. She kissed his chest and used her good hand to push his sweats down. Before long, he was gloriously naked and laying before her. Kasey licked her lips and grinned at him while she lowered her head to lick his cock.

  She teased him like he did her, not taking him in her mouth, instead acting as if he was a lollipop. She licked him from base to tip over and over, and a few times sucking his balls into her mouth. He was getting just as crazy as he made her.

  “Dammit, Kasey, your mouth is fucking hot,” he growled and wrapped her hair in his hands and tried to get her to take him in her mouth.

  She grinned, liking the little game they were playing. She teased him a little more before allowing him to guide her mouth over his cock and push through her lips. She took the tip in her mouth and sucked gently. Clearly, he had had enough of her teasing and pushed up, making her take his cock all the way to the back of her throat.
