Chapter 22
Jake
It felt like forever before my team got here but in actuality it was only five minutes later. They came in hot, sirens blaring and it looked like the whole lot of them were on my front lawn including the pregnant one. To fuck shit up even more the cab pulled up to offload mom and Mindy. I needed to go with my guys to take care of shit but I didn’t want to leave her so maybe it was a good thing they’d shown up in the nick of time. She was still plastered to my front, her hands clutching me for dear life. “It’s okay baby you have to let me go to work now okay.” Mom and Mindy dropped their bags and looked around at all the strange people. “What’s happened son?” I pulled them in too and welcomed them home. “There was a little situation can’t get into it right now I have to go take care of something. It’s around back under an old bucket.” I told the guys as they got what they needed ready to go handle shit. “Listen I want you three to stay right here for a minute.” I went over to the van my people had just pulled up in and got what I needed. Heading into the garage I ran the wand over my truck looking for any surprises but there weren’t any so I climbed in and pulled out. I wasn’t sure what I was dealing with here but I didn’t want to leave my wife out in the open just in case. “Get in the truck and stay there until I come get you.” They tried arguing with me but it didn’t take much to shut them down. Mom was already doing her thing hugging my woman and trying to calm her while Mindy brushed her hair with her fingers.
I put them in the truck and went to see where my people were at with this shit. I had to put a leash on my emotions and clear my fucking head. The robot was doing her thing while the team stood a fair distance away. Tessie was a nifty little toy that DHS had paid millions for we have two of these shits. They can do in seconds what it would take a human minutes or sometimes hours to do. She evaluates the potential threat and dismantles it all by herself. If the rest of the world really believes that Americans are the dumbest fucks on the planet they’ve never seen inside the mind of a homegrown MIT grad. This little beauty was the brainchild of a fucking teenager. He learned the shit from programming video games of all things.
“What the fuck boss?” My guys were pissed but they were nowhere near my level. I didn’t let my mind play the guessing game that was no way to go into an Op. If I started thinking it might be one asshole and focused entirely on him then I might miss something. I’m a free market thinker everyone is suspect except the three women sitting in my truck. If the fucker was watching this play out he was gonna need a rocket launcher if he wanted to fuck with them. “Task complete.” Who the fuck thought of giving Tessie Marilyn Monroe’s voice anyway? That shit was just off. We walked over to where she’d picked apart what turned out to be an eight-inch metal galvanized pipe bomb. You could buy that shit anywhere and so too the caps that were used. There were nails, which were supposed to project on impact and some fuck had put it under my wife’s pillow. There was no timer it had been rigged to go off when she put her head on the pillow.
“Okay now we need to comb the house, both sides.” We waited out in the van while watching Tessie do her thing going through the house meticulously step by step. “Clear.” The first floor was clear now we watched as she climbed the stairs. I looked over to the truck where the girls had their faces up to the windows. “Melissa what’re you doing here?” She looked like she was ready to pop any minute. “I’m part of the team aren’t I?” Hardheaded fuck, I looked at her husband who just shrugged his shoulders and went back to watching the screen. Pussy whipped motherfucker. When it looked like the house was clear I walked over to the truck while Terry went to get Tessie so she could do the same thing next door, I wasn’t taking any chances. I climbed in back where my woman was and pulled her into my arms for a hug and a kiss to the temple. It had been days since I’d touched her with tenderness. “You hanging in there baby?” She nodded against my chest and hugged me close. “How about you two you doin okay?” They were scared but holding their own. “We should be done here soon then you can go in and take a load off.”
“Jackie said there was a bomb Jake who would do such a thing?” Mindy is one of those females that’s going to be just like Melissa when she grows up. She was pissed and barely holding onto her temper, which I’m sure was only for mom and my wife’s sake. I had a pretty good idea who she thought was responsible but I wasn’t going there and especially not in front of my woman. When whoever it was came up staked out on a pike somewhere she didn’t need to know it was because of this or that it had been at her husband’s hand. Women have strange ideas when it comes to shit like that. “We don’t know anything yet sis, don’t worry about this shit just go inside when I give you the all clear and talk about your trip or some shit. Jacqueline took a million pictures to show you two and I’m sure you’ve got your own cache. That’s all I want the three of you thinking about right now the rest of this is not for you.” She opened her mouth to argue but I shut her down.
There was a knock on the window and I kissed my woman before stepping out. “It’s clean boss what do you want to do now?” I opened the truck door and told the women to head on in while I go to my place to take care of something. Melissa opted to go with them, which was a weight off my mind. They were already talking babies by the time they reached the first step. “Okay I have to go look at the tapes, we only just got back literally so I didn’t even think of looking at that shit. Had I done that shit she wouldn’t have almost…fuck.” It hit me then, gut deep and hard. I could’ve lost her today. I could be standing over her dead body in the fucking morgue right now. And for what, what had she ever done but be mistreated her whole fucking life?
“Easy boss easy.” Hector’s voice came to me almost from a distance, at least that’s what it sounded like which made no sense. My hands hurt and I looked down to see blood dripping from the right one. What the fuck?
I’d punched the fuck out of the truck and had no recollection whatsoever of doing it. Without another word I turned and walked away towards the house with my team bringing up the rear.
In my security room I rewound back to the day we left. I didn’t want to see the last hour, never wanted to see my wife picking that shit up from the one place she was supposed to feel safe. It was the day before yesterday that we finally saw movement. Two things registered at once. One, how the fuck did this asshole know when we were coming home? I hadn’t given anyone that information. And two, this fucker knew me or about me because he kept his face well hidden the whole time. He came in through the back, I couldn’t see what he used to jimmy the lock but he’d been smart to come in that way. If he’d used the front I would’ve noticed right away. I watched as he walked up the stairs sure and steady, he knew no one was here. How the fuck had he got pass my security? I’ll have to look into that later.
He looked around the room still with his face hidden, what was he looking for? He walked over to the side table and picked up the book she’d left there. That’s when he lifted her pillow and sniffed it before planting his little welcome home surprise. Nail in his fucking coffin, he’d targeted her. “Show me your face you fuck.” He was completely covered from head to toe. He wore leather gloves and his shirt sleeves were pulled down so there wasn’t even a flash of flesh showing. Then he did it, he picked his head up as he looked around again. “Gotcha you fuck.”
“Are you shitting me?” The room erupted as I sat and seethed, this complicated things but not by much. Some way somehow he was done. I reached for the phone on my desk; it was picked up on the first ring.
“Boy you’re supposed to be gone for three months don’t tell me you’re bored already I told you…”
“Supe I just watched Samuels on my security planting a bomb under my wife’s pillow.” He stopped talking in mid stride. “The fuck you say.” I gave him the particulars and can’t say I was surprised by his first words to me. “Jake you can’t kill him.” Of course he would know that that’s where my head was at, he knows me better than most. He should also know
that what he was asking was damn near impossible for a man like me. “That your only stipulation?”
“I’m pretty sure I can’t stop you from going after him so yeah. Why do you have cameras in your bedroom anyway?”
“It’s part of the house, it’s where my wife sleeps why the fuck wouldn’t it be the most protected place in the fucking house?”
“Okay son calm down I’m not the enemy. Look can you hold off on whatever you’re planning? Let me try to work something…”
“Negative Supe, you fuck with me on this it would be the end of us, we clear? You don’t do shit that would tip him off.”
“I think you forget that I’m your boss.”
“I think you forget I don’t give a fuck, he gets away I’ll level this fucking town to the ground.”
“Okay, okay, calm down I wasn’t going to tip off the fucker, I’m just trying to figure a way to do this so you don’t get any flack from the big guys.”
“You think I give a fuck about that either? And Supe about your stipulation…he’s fucked.” He was still calling for me when I hung up.
Chapter 23
“What’s our play boss? What’re we doing?” I looked around the room at all of them, all ready to go to battle for me but I couldn’t and wouldn’t ask them to. “We’re not doing anything I am. Not your fight boys.” They let that settle in for a minute before they decided by their code what they were gonna do. “We understand that you’re pissed boss so we’ll let that insult slide and not tell you what an ass backward shit fuck thing that is to say. Now how the fuck are we coming after this asshole?” Shit the last thing I need is a bunch of hot heads on my ass. “This isn’t business as usual boys this shit is personal…” Of course Melissa chose that moment to walk into the room. “Well, who the fuck are we hunting?”
“You’re not hunting shit, Jace seriously can’t you have her admitted for observation or some fuck? Melissa you’re about to have a baby, the last thing you need is to be running around like fucking Shera. I could’ve sworn I put you on the desk more than two months ago; and don’t think I don’t know about you sneaking into Ops. The only reason I left that shit alone was because they weren’t too dangerous and I knew the guys had you covered but this shit is different.” She totally ignored my ass as she turned to her husband and the rest of her teammates.
“Who was it?” What the fuck? Did no one listen anymore? You leave for a couple weeks and everything goes to shit. “Samuels.” Terry the fuck had no compunction about telling her, that’s what happens when you build a team like mine. They stick together no matter what to face all comers. Too bad I’d forgot to tell them that shit wasn’t supposed to be used against their leader. “Stand down all of you, I’m doing this shit alone.” My hand was starting to hurt like a son of a bitch and I looked through my desk for something to clean it up a little. “Where is he usually this time of day? His office most likely, can’t take him there too many eyes and heat.” She was already planning strategy, my words going totally ignored. “We can get to his car in the parking lot, he likes that cushy spot away from everyone else maybe we can use that in our favor.” Mason one of the quieter of the bunch spoke up.
“I’m thinking the boss might want to make this one up close and personal.”
“The boss would like all of you to stand the fuck down Hector.” It was as though I hadn’t even spoken, they just went on about their business discussing the best way to take out the captain. “We can’t let you do that boss, your rules remember? If it affects one it affects all.” Shit.
I sat back and listened as they threw around ideas. There was no point in arguing any farther they’d proven that. While they talked I formulated my own shit in my head. I pretty much knew what I had to do just had to figure the shit out. When the dust cleared I needed to be able to come home to my wife.
“Okay guys we’re gonna need to pick this up tomorrow I have to go see to my woman.” They looked at me suspiciously but I wasn’t giving away shit. They’re hard yes but I’m harder. I finally got them to leave by telling them Jacqueline needed me right now and I couldn’t think about what needed to be done until I’d made sure she was okay. I played to their earlier assessment that I was too close to the situation, but the reality was somewhat different.
As soon as they were gone I went next door to get her. I had to give mom and Mindy some type of explanation but I watered it down as best I could. All they needed to know was that they were safe. My only thought right now was getting her home and alone. I needed to feel her under me, to reassure myself that she was really safe. I needed to wipe my mind clean of the image of her holding a fucking homemade bomb in her hand shaking with fear.
She started fussing over my hand on the way over but I couldn’t even feel the pain anymore. “Jake you’re hurt what did you do?” I looked at the swollen mess and put it out of my mind. I’d already ascertained that it wasn’t broken just badly bruised, besides I had more important things on my mind. “Don’t worry about it now baby I need you.” I picked her up at the door and took her upstairs. Bypassing our room I took her to one of the guest rooms and closed the door.
“Jake.” I kissed her to keep her quiet, I didn’t want to talk about anything right now, I just wanted to feel. I unbuttoned her shirt and pushed it off her shoulders. Her bra was next before I unsnapped her jeans and pushed them down her thighs. I left the scrap of material covering her pussy for last while I shed my own clothes with her help. Pulling her over to the bed without a word I laid her back with her ass hanging over the edge. Finally I pulled her panties off and inhaled her scent. I’d missed her smell in the last few days, never again. Opening her up with my thumbs I took a moment to enjoy the pink softness of her flesh. She was already wet, beads of her essence just waiting for my tongue. I licked her first before taking her clit into my mouth. I had to close my eyes against the pleasure that coursed through me as her taste burst on my tongue. Lifting her ass in my hands I left only her shoulders resting on the bed and ate her like I’d been starved for the taste of her. “Jake.” Her body shook as I took everything I needed from her. My cock was aching and full, pre cum dripping down to the floor when I finally let her back down. I pushed her farther up onto the bed and climbed over her. Taking my cock in hand I led it into her soft heat until I was seated to the hilt. I held still, enjoying the feeling of having her hot pussy wrapped around me again. “Never again.” I hadn’t meant to say the words out loud it was a promise to myself that no matter what I would never deny her again. Never keep what was hers away from her. It felt like forever since I’d been here since we’d danced this dance. She looked up at me with need clouding her eyes, her sweet face so precious. An uncontrollable need rose up in me, the need to completely take her over. I wanted everything that she had to be mine, needed to own, to possess all that she was. Lowering my head I took her mouth and kissed her slowly, taking my time to suck her tongue into my mouth while my cock stroked in and out of her slowly, deeply. My body wanted to fuck but I needed to make love to my wife. Not only because I hadn’t touched her in days but because after today she needed it, we both did. I used my body to show her just how fucking precious she was and to erase the horror of what she’d been through.
She came for me twice, calling out for me to love her faster, harder but still I held back. I wanted to last, at least until I was over the image, until my world was set to rights again. If I could’ve molded her to me in that moment I would’ve. The love I felt for her as she moved beneath me was stronger than I’ve ever known. For three and a half years I loved her, thought I knew what love was, what that all consuming feeling I had meant. Until today, until I’d felt fear unlike anything I’d ever known.
The loud banging of the headboard against the wall brought me back from the place I’d gone to in my head. I shook myself back to awareness to realize I’d fucked her halfway up the damn headboard, her neck was at an odd angle and there was a huge red mark on her neck where I’d sucked her skin too hard. “Fuck b
aby I’m sorry.” I tried to pull out, to repair the damage I’d done. How else had I hurt her while I’d been lost in my own fucking head? She clutched at me and pulled my head down as her body moved wildly beneath my still thrusting cock. I’d come to in the middle of her orgasm, her body was still clenching hungrily around my cock. She shocked the fuck out of me when she wrestled me to my back and took over.
She was gone, somewhere primal and lustful. Her hips moved like a piston as she rode my cock up and down. Her head was thrown back and her mouth opened in surprise and all I could do was hold onto her hips and enjoy the ride. I didn’t even try to take over just let her have her way. Until she fucked me so hard I thought she would hurt her little pussy. I understood her need to feel alive, to feel in control but I couldn’t let her hurt herself. When she lowered her head and I saw the tears she broke my fucking heart. “Shh baby don’t, come ‘ere.” I pulled her down to my chest and rolled us over. Taking her face in my hands I brushed her hair back and looked into her eyes as my hips kept up their movements. “ I love you Jacqueline, nothing’s going to hurt you I won’t let it.” She strained against me too far gone to do anything more than seek her release. I needed to calm her so I pulled out and sucked on her pussy again until a few minutes later her breathing calmed and she stopped moving so wildly. My heart was racing with my own need as I once again climbed over her, but this time it was I who needed. I turned her onto her hands and knees leading my cock into her weeping opening once more. Pounding out my love inside her as she cried out and begged for more.
We spent the night locked together in one form or the other. She even got her ass fucked when I was calm enough to do it without hurting her. When she was too tired and too sore to take me anymore for the night I took her into the shower and cleaned us both up before putting her to bed. “Did mom feed you sweetheart?” Fuck I’d forgotten to feed her. “Not hungry sleepy…love you Jake.” She wrapped her arms around my neck and fell asleep just like that. “I love you too precious girl, more than you’ll ever know.”
