“You have his Stillwater phone number?” Morgan asked.
“Yeah.” Logan picked up the phone and dialed.
“Hello?”
“Dodge, it’s Logan. I’ve got Riley, Tyler, and Morgan here, too. I’m putting you on speakerphone.”
“If this is some form of intervention, go fuck yourselves.” Dodge said.
“Sorry, dude. It ain’t about you.” Logan rubbed a spot between his eyes.
“What’s going on then?”
“Riley might be in some trouble. We need your help.”
“What kind of help can an old cripple give you guys?” Dodge asked.
“Computer help. We need some records to disappear or at the least get buried as deep as possible.”
“Hell, what did he go and do? Kill someone?”
Logan didn’t say anything. Riley drew in a deep breath and let it out. The silence must have gotten to Dodge because he started cussing a blue streak.
“It’s not a done deal yet. They guy isn’t dead, but he might not make it,” Logan interrupted.
“Riley, you were with Bo’s unit, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Well, shit. That’s going to be a tough one. I’ll see what I can do. I can’t promise to permanently lose anything, but I’ll be sure it’s damn hard to dig up on a civilian end.” Dodge promised.
“Good enough. Thanks, man,” Riley said.
“Got your ass,” Dodge said and hung up.
“It’s the best we can do for now.” Logan hung up the phone and leaned back in the chair.
“I think I’ll go visit Dodge when everything around here settles down. You with me, Riley?” Morgan asked.
“Naw, better count me out. I’m not sure what I’m doing right now.” Riley couldn’t help but think about Jenna in the next room.
Would she still want him if all he’d done in the army came out? Right now, she said it didn’t matter that he might have killed her ex. But that was different than being an assassin for the US Army. No, she might not accept that as easily. And if it didn’t come out, did he tell her or pretend it never happened?
He was actually thinking about it. He was contemplating a life with Jenna. A forever-after sort of life. Did he have it in him? Yeah, he thought he did. Was it the right thing to do? Hell no. She deserved someone with a hell of a lot more class than he had. His tastes in sex ran to the kinky side. She didn’t seem to mind, but she hadn’t really seen all of him. He was a heavy dominant sort of guy. He liked sex down and dirty and lots of it. What if she grew fearful of his kind of kink?
Riley shook it off. He had to get past this road block before he could even think of forever with Jenna. Forever. Just the word sent chills down his spine. He never thought he would ever think in those terms. Especially not about a woman. He laughed to himself. A bike, yeah, he could think in terms of forever. But a woman?
“Tina said dinner is on the table. Let’s eat,” Logan said, jerking him from his thoughts.
“Smells like spaghetti,” Morgan rubbed his hands together.
“My favorite.” Tyler brought up the rear.
“Everything edible is your favorite,” Morgan teased.
After dinner, Logan helped with the dishes while Riley and the others piled into the living room to watch a movie. Logan, Tina, and Jenna joined them after a short while. Everyone let the worries of the day slide away long enough to enjoy the action-thriller. An hour later, the phone rang. Logan paused the movie to answer it. “Yeah. I see. Okay, we’ll be waiting to hear from you.” Logan replaced the phone and shook his head.
“Gregg started bleeding again, so they had to take him back to surgery,” Logan finally said.
“Hell.”
“Damn.”
“Oh no.” Jenna looked over at Riley and squeezed his hand.
“It will be okay, Jenna,” he said.
They turned the movie back on, but no one really paid a lot of attention to it. Riley kept thinking back to his army career and how it was going to hang him if anyone found out about it. How would Jenna feel about it, he wondered? He couldn’t talk to her about it. It was classified information. If it came out during all of this mess, there was nothing he could do about it.
There was no word from the hospital after the movie, so they put on another one to pass the time. Riley kissed Jenna on the cheek and hugged her close. He couldn’t get enough of her, close enough to her, deep enough in her to satisfy his needs. Right then, the only thing he wanted to do was sink his dick all the way inside of her and stay that way.
The phone rang again. Tina handed it to Logan.
“Yeah, okay. I’ll tell him. Right.” Logan hung up the phone.
“He didn’t make it,” Logan finally said.
“I take it they want to talk to me again,” Riley said.
“Yeah, they asked if you would meet them downtown at nine in the morning.” Logan stood up and blew out a breath. “You know we’re behind you on this. It was self-defense all the way.”
“I know. I’m not worried. I didn’t even have a weapon on me,” Riley agreed.
Jenna held on to him as though he would disappear if she let him go. He knew she was scared. He could almost taste it on his tongue. He stood up, pulling her with him.
“I think we better get to bed if we are going to make it there by nine in the morning,” Riley said. “I’ll see you all in the morning.”
They all said good night and split up to go upstairs. Riley kept a tight hold of Jenna. He wasn’t sure she was going to make it all the way to the room before she fell apart. He could feel the fine tremors in her body.
Once they reached the room, he pulled her into his arms and held her as she started crying. He knew it wasn’t out of loss with Gregg’s death but with reaction to everything that had happened in the last few days. She was relieved and scared all at once. He understood.
“I’m s-sorry,” she gasped. “I can’t help it.”
“Shhh, it’s all right. Go ahead and cry, baby.” Riley backed them up to the bed and sat down, pulling her down into his lap.
“What’s going to happen to you now? I’m sorry I got you in this, Riley. I’m so sorry.”
“Shhh, Jenna. You didn’t get me involved. I involved myself. None of this is your fault, and nothing is going to happen. I didn’t kill him. It was self-defense. I’m not worried about it. You don’t need to be, either.”
“I can’t help it. You could go to prison because of me.”
“Stop it!” Riley shook her. “I’m telling you this once, and I don’t want to have to repeat myself again. This is not your fault, and if I hear you say you’re sorry about it one more time, I’m going to turn you over my knee and spank that pretty ass of yours till it’s rosy red. Do you understand me?”
Jenna nodded and sniffed. Her eyes had grown round in astonishment that he would spank her. Riley nearly grinned at that. He could tell from the way she licked her lips that the thought excited her. When things had calmed down, he was going to introduce her to some of the things he liked. Just the thought of her bare ass in the air and his handprint on those round cheeks stirred his cock.
He needed a way to distract her, and his hard cock would do just the trick. Riley cupped the back of her head and brought her lips up to meet his. He lightly kissed along the corners of her mouth then licked the seam until she opened for him. He slipped his tongue into her hot mouth and proceeded to devour her from the inside out. His teeth nipped at her lower lip then licked over it with his tongue to sooth the sting. The feel of her tongue sliding against his drew a low growl from him. Their mouths met in a soul-searing kiss that went on until he had to break away to breathe.
He pulled away from her and looked deep into her eyes.
“On your knees, Jenna.”
Her brows drew together in a furrow of confusion.
“On your knees and unzip my pants.”
Her eyes lit up now with understanding. She knew what he wanted. Jenna slid off his lap to
her knees and without taking her eyes off of his, unbuttoned and unzipped his pants. She licked her lower lip very slowly then pulled him to his feet so she could remove his jeans. He stood for her and waited as she drew his jeans down. He kicked off his boots then stepped out of the jeans for her. She positioned herself between his legs and took him with both hands.
“Suck my dick. All of it.”
She rolled her eyes back and lowered her head over him. She flicked out her tongue and licked off the drop of pre-cum before lowering herself over his cock. She took him in her mouth and slowly slid down the stalk until he rested at the back of her throat. He held her there, waiting for her to swallow. Knowing when she did he would die a little at the pleasure.
Jenna trembled beneath his hands. She swallowed, and he let go of her as she pulled back up. His breath came in a whoosh as she licked the underside of his cock. Then she nibbled at the flared head before sucking him to the back of her throat again. This time she swallowed immediately, telling him she was learning what he liked. Again, she swallowed around him until he groaned. Then she pulled back up, letting her teeth graze him on the way back up. She dipped her tongue inside the slit before sucking on just the crown.
Her other hand found his balls and began a gentle game of squeeze and scratch against the sack. She manipulated his balls with surprising dexterity, and while he was concentrating on her hand on his nuts, she took him to the back of her throat again in one quick lunge that had his eyes rolling back in his head. She was going to kill him.
She used one hand to grasp him at the root and tug on him as she licked and sucked up and down his cock. The other hand continued to handle his balls until the pressure grew to be too much and he was ready to come. Riley didn’t want to come in her mouth. He wanted to come on her breasts. He reached down and pulled at the blouse she had borrowed from Tina. He growled when he couldn’t get the buttons undone. He started to rip it apart, but she stopped him with her hands.
Jenna unbuttoned the blouse, but before she could move it aside, he jerked it off her shoulders so that her arms were pinned by her side. He shoved his cock deep into her mouth over and over, holding her by her hair as he fucked her face. Electric fire bloomed along his spine as it traveled from there to his balls. They sparked, and his climax loomed. He quickly pulled out of Jenna’s hot mouth and exploded across her breasts. His cum coated her breasts. With her arms locked to her sides, her breasts stuck out enticingly for his use.
As the last spurts of cum left his spent cock, Riley bent down and kissed her gently on the lips. Then he stood up and pulled her to her feet. The sight of his cum on her breasts drew a weak jerk from his flaccid dick.
“God, you look beautiful with my cum on you like that,” Riley said.
“I wanted you to in my mouth,” she pouted.
“Next time I’ll let you have it all, baby,” he promised. “Let’s get you cleaned up so we can get some sleep.”
Riley helped her remove the blouse and the rest of their clothes soon followed. They stepped into the shower and soaped each other up. The temptation to fuck her in the shower was almost more than he could withstand, but she was obviously exhausted, and he needed to rest before the ordeal in the morning. He would make it up to them both later.
He all but carried Jenna to the bed after they dried off. She was dead on her feet. It amused him to see how petulant she could get when she was overly tired. He spanked her ass twice when she fussed about how he dried her off when she could do it herself. He looked forward to turning that fair skin a rosy shade of red. Soon, he promised himself. Soon she would be all his. He would take damn good care of her. He could see a future with her…once he got past the next few days.
* * * *
Jenna woke before Riley the next morning. The early light of dawn hung heavy in the air. It would be fall soon, and the days would become shorter as the nights grew longer. Nights she had begun to hope would include Riley in her bed. The dream of having him permanently in her life was a hard one to give up, but she wouldn’t do it. Right now, she longed to have him for a little longer.
Her head rested on his shoulder, and his arm wrapped around her shoulder as hers wrapped around his waist. She could hear his heartbeat and feel the soft in and out of his breath against her cheek. The easy rise and fall of his chest rocked her lazily in his embrace. Jenna felt at home in his arms and didn’t want to lose that feeling. Even for a few hours.
She knew the instant he woke by the hitch in his breathing and stutter in his heartbeat. Another peak toward the window revealed a brighter light seeping beneath the shade. A long, tedious day awaited Riley. An even longer one waited for her. She wouldn’t know what was going on with Riley until he returned afterward. If he returned. Jenna didn’t want to think along those lines. He didn’t murder Gregg. He merely protected himself. It was self-defense. She had no doubt of it. He would have told her otherwise. She trusted him despite only knowing him a short time.
“Are you going to lie there and brood all morning?” Riley asked, giving her shoulder a gentle squeeze.
“I’m too comfortable where I am to move.”
“Hmm, there is that. I don’t want to move, either, but we both have things to do today.”
“Don’t let them bait you into saying something that might get you in trouble, Riley,” she said.
“Don’t worry about me. I’m good with this.”
“I’m not. I don’t know what I’m going to do if they charge you with murder. You didn’t murder him.”
“It will be okay, baby. Try to not worry so much.” Riley ran his hand over her hair.
Jenna knew better than to tell herself not to worry. She’d do it anyway, but she could make Riley think she would be fine.
“I know. You’re going to be fine. You don’t need to get up just yet, do you?” She ran a hand down his abdomen to find him gloriously erect and dripping pre-cum.
“I think I can lie here for a little while longer,” he said, smiling.
Jenna smiled to herself. She ran her hand up and down the length of him over and over until he was pushing into her hand as fast as she could take him. She sat up and pushed the covers aside so she could take him in her mouth. She loved the musky smell of him along with the tangy taste that exploded off her tongue. She lazily took him in and out of her mouth for several seconds then straddled him and positioned him at her entrance.
Their eyes locked, and Jenna knew hers would show just how much she loved him. His showed lust but nothing more. She let it hurt for all of a second then took him inside her as she dropped down on him.
The exquisite pressure of his cock forcing its way inside her took her breath. She closed her eyes and embraced the bite of pain until her body adjusted to his girth. Once she was fully seated, his cock all the way against her womb entrance, Jenna rose off of him only to drop back down again. She rode him slow and easy until he couldn’t maintain it any longer and took over to shove her up and down his stalk.
Riley groaned as he pumped up into her over and over. She squeezed him with her vaginal muscles, trapping him for an instant inside the heated flesh of her womb. She grinned at the sounds coming from him. She loved it when he lost control and took over. His breath came in ragged gasps as he powered into her over and over again.
Jenna’s climax was only a few short strokes away. It built inside of her, promising to be tremendous when it came. Riley’s hands grasped her hips as he pummeled her. She angled her body so that his pubic bone rasped at her clit with each stroke.
It was obvious that Riley was close by the uncoordinated strokes beginning to unravel. She took his hands and placed them on her tits, begging him without words to touch her there. He immediately began squeezing her nipples and tugging on them. She moaned and tried to hold off. She wanted them to come together, but she was so close. Then he reached between them and pinched her clit. Jenna came unglued. She screamed and bucked above him.
Riley groaned before pumping his cum deep within her. S
he felt pulse after pulse of hot cum hit her walls as she quivered around him. Her eyes flew open and once again, she realized she hadn’t used a condom. She allowed herself a few seconds to catch her breath then eased off of Riley before hurrying to the bathroom to clean up.
She turned to take a warm bath cloth back to Riley only to find him standing behind her.
“We forgot again,” was all he said before he reached around her to turn on the shower.
Jenna couldn’t look at him. She slipped out of the bathroom and dressed in the same clothes as the day before. She would have to go home today and clean up her house. Surely by now they would let her. Maybe Tina would go with her, and she wouldn’t have to be alone while she did it. Getting her house back would go a long way in helping her to feel more like her old self again.
Riley emerged from the bathroom in nothing but a towel. His skin still held the glow of moist heat from the shower and his eyes the heat of recent sex. She watched as he slipped on his clothes. She couldn’t help but admire the strong muscles across his back. They rippled as he bent to pull on his boots. Once they were both dressed, he wrapped her in his arms and held her there.
“What are you doing today?”
“I’ve got to clean up my house. It’s a mess.”
“I don’t want you over there alone until we can fix the window,” Riley said.
“I figured Tina would go with me, and it will be in broad daylight,” she said.
“Keep in touch with either me or Logan at all times.”
“No problem.”
Riley opened the door to the hall and held it for her to go through first. They found the others downstairs in the kitchen eating. Riley urged her to fix a plate and followed behind her.
“Riley, I figure I’ll go with you to the station,” Logan said. “Morgan will go with Tina and Jenna to the house. They will need some help getting the furniture set right.”
Jenna looked at Tina with a frown. How had Logan known she would want to go to work on her house?
“Don’t look so puzzled. Tina said you were going to want to go home today and clean up.” Logan grinned.
