“Son, this place had physical security on location and both men were killed. The surveillance cameras were dismantled, a professional operation, almost military-like.”
“Not military-like. With that particular system, a person could use a scrambler to destroy the camera system that business was using then go in quietly and prevent the security guards from stopping them. It wouldn’t be necessary to kill them. The whole way this went down was sloppy and a quick hit.”
“Hundreds of thousands of dollars in ATVs, dirt bikes, and machinery were stolen. Not a quick hit,” Kevin said.
“With multiple men? It was quick,” Colby said.
“I still want extra precautions. What if someone came in up front during the day and grabbed the ladies? Then what?”
“Dad, we’re all close by. We can see who comes in and out, and we have the cameras in the store front, up by the desk, in the garage. It’s fine.”
Kevin exhaled and stared at Colby and Quincy. “You and your brothers need to protect your woman at all times. If she’s in danger, she needs to confide in you so you can provide that protection accordingly,” Kevin told them.
“We’re doing that, Dad. Our fathers taught us well. Seren is talking to the sheriff today. At the end of the day, we’re going to take Jade to Kane’s office, discuss things, then go to dinner.”
Kevin nodded. “Never let your guards down. Never get too comfortable or complacent in the routine of things. We did and nearly lost your mother. Your dads and I won’t ever forget that day.”
They nodded, understanding, knowing the story all too well.
Chapter 8
Turner was laughing so hard, he early fell off the chair. “You have got to be kidding me,” he said to Gordo.
“No, not kidding you, Turner, it went down like that. We walked out of that place with two broads a piece and a night we would never forget.”
“And the guys?”
“Out cold on the floor and people dancing around them like nothing ever happened.”
“Shit, you got balls, that’s for sure,” Turner told him, then took out a cigar and prepared to light it. “So, what did you need so badly you followed me up to the woods on my hunting trip, besides hiding out?” he asked as Turner’s other friends were drinking by the fire and bullshitting.
Gordo chuckled. “My buddy and I just made a recent purchase. His idea while we were discussing our earnings got me thinking of that place you always get your supplies from, near Central Valley.”
“What about it?”
“It’s a small town, easy access in and out of the place? Got a good supply of ATVs and dirt bikes?”
“Top of the line. Don’t tell me you want to try and hit the place then sell the shit you steal? That won’t fly around these parts, Gordo.”
“It’s fucking small town. They probably don’t even have the security systems we’re used to dismantling.”
“Gordo, these towns are filled with cops, retired soldiers, Special Forces, you name it. It is not the place people go in and rob. Now Slutherby, about two hours past there? That’s a different story. There’s a nice little shop with a warehouse in back that has at minimum, fifty machines stored there. Easy access to the highway, and it’s secluded with these large trees and a fence, so bringing in a truck to transport can’t even be seen by any passersby.”
Gordo leaned back. “I don’t know, the info online about this place Fortane’s looked more like the top of the line items our buyer wants.”
“I know those people. You don’t want to fuck with them. I served with one of the sons and he is badass. You go in, you aren’t coming out alive. You do it at night, he’ll hunt you down and skin your ass. Besides, I like them a lot, and now there’s this pretty, sexy little brunette working there. She’s got these stunning blue eyes, big breasts, and tiny waist. You could pick her up with one arm. Cute as could be.”
“Yeah? She sounds hot.”
“Want to see a picture?”
“You got a picture?”
“Fuck yeah, I pretended to be taking pictures of the showroom and the front area and got her in one.” He pulled out his phone and showed him the pictures but the first one showed the showroom.
“Damn, there are some beauties there,” Gordo said to him. Turner slid the screen and up came a picture of that woman, Jade.
Gordo pulled the phone from Turner’s hand. Turner laughed. “Told you she was hot.”
“What’s her name?” he asked.
“Jade. Fucking gorgeous and so damn sweet. I’d feel guilty making her do the things I thought of having her do to me.” He chuckled. “She’s really nice and I warn you to stay clear of that place and of her.”
“Can I send this to me?”
“What for?”
“For me to look at,” he said, and winked.
Turner chuckled. “By now one of those Fortane men probably made a move on her. If they didn’t they’re nuts, and when I get back to Texas, I’m going to stop in just to see that smile.” He puffed on his cigar as Gordo stared at his own phone and his new picture of Jade.
Gordo rubbed his jaw. He was in shock. Jade, the woman Coleman wanted Rodeo to find and bring to him, was in Cherry Hill. Holy shit, this was huge. His first thought was to call Rodeo, but then he thought about Flynn and how he had been tired of Rodeo making them do all this dirty work and then paid them very little. Flynn took matters into his own hands the last hit and made him and Gordo a shit load of money. Maybe this chick would be worth more by going directly to Coleman. Gordo didn’t know how to contact him, but Flynn did.
He hit the number for Flynn.
“Yo.”
“I got something big.”
“Dude, we should lay low. That hit is all over the news,” Flynn said to him.
“It’s not a hit, but the jackpot.”
“What?”
“You know that chick Jade that Rodeo needs to find for Coleman?”
“Yeah?”
“I found her.”
“What? Where?”
“Hold up and hear me out. You know if we tell Rodeo where she is, then he’ll send us to get her, take the credit, and end his troubles with Coleman. What if we negotiate with Coleman?”
“Rodeo kills us.”
“Not when he’ll be dead. Coleman said he needed to find this Jade or Rodeo was finished. He won’t matter, we will, and we ask for Coleman’s protection for a bit.”
“Hmm. I let you in on one sneaky hit against Rodeo and you’re all balls and glory now,” Flynn said and chuckled.
“This could be a life changer.”
“It will be.”
“How much do you think Coleman will offer?”
“Not sure, but we can’t push or he’ll just kill us when we’re done. We need to negotiate. Is she in a place temporarily or what?”
“From the sounds of it she has a job, and there may be a man or two showing interest.”
“Who wouldn’t? She’s hot.”
“I know, and thank God I saw those pictures Rodeo showed us of her, or I wouldn’t have known it was her.”
“Who were you with?”
“Turner.”
“Well, stay around there for a bit. Send me the picture, make sure you can’t see any signs that says where she is or we’ll be bypassed completely.”
“Got it,” Gordo said. “I’ll edit the shot and send it along.”
“I’ll get in touch with Coleman, or go to see him at the club. I know he’s there tonight. I’ll feel him out, but I have to be careful. I heard that Rodeo gave him the hundred Gs he owed him. His debt half paid. Now he needs to hand over Jade.”
“And we can do that, not Rodeo. This could mean us getting into better positions with the racing circuit. I wonder how her father will feel about all this? His daughter cost him a lot.”
“She sure did. If I thought her old man had more money than Coleman, I’d think of contacting him for some money for her and then he could go back to that sick, origina
l plan of selling her to Coleman for a business deal. At least’s that’s how Rodeo explained it.”
“Holy shit, we could play them all,” Gordo said.
“How about a little game of the highest bidder wins?” Flynn said.
Gordo thought about it. “Could be too risky. They could say they would pay us and then we don’t get shit and they kill us. We’d have to take precautions. Have her in a safe location to be found after we get paid.”
“That would take some planning, but we could do it. Maybe we need to grab her first? Have her in our possession, and then negotiate the deals?” Flynn said to him.
“I would see how Coleman feels about all, then leave at an open invitation for the highest bidder and call Eddie, Jade’s father. Let’s see who has the deepest pockets.”
“Okay. I’ll be in touch.”
Gordo ended the call and then fixed the picture and sent it to Flynn. He looked at Jade. She was young, sexy, and looked sweet. He kind of felt guilty for ruining her life after she ran and remained undetected for a year, but money was money, and he and Flynn would be rolling in it soon enough.
“Colby.” Jade gasped as he got her into the apartment with Quincy and pushed down her skirt and panties. He lifted her up into his arms and carried her to the bedroom as he kissed her. He lowered her to the bed and began to kiss along her chest and belly as Quincy undressed and then started to pull her top and her bra off of her.
“Oh God, yes, yes, I thought of this all day,” she admitted. Quincy chuckled as Colby feasted on her pussy. She rocked her hips and then Colby lifted her up, lowered her onto her belly, and began to lick along her asshole. He plunged fingers into both holes and she came with a cry.
She panted, saw Quincy rolling a condom onto his cock, and then get into position. “Let’s take her together now,” he said, and Colby pulled his fingers from her body, lifted her up, and placed her over Quincy. She immediately lowered her cunt onto his cock and began to ride him. “Fuck, I missed being inside of you, baby. Rock those hips. Come all over my cock, woman.”
“Oh!” She gasped as Colby aligned his cock with her asshole and began to push into her next. She lowered down and gripped onto Quincy’s shoulders. He cupped her breasts, pinched her nipples.
“Quincy, Colby, oh God, move faster, deeper. Please,” she begged.
“Sounds like you need some help in here,” Seren said, and he and Shane joined them, their hair still damp from showers after work. Seren jumped onto the bed and caressed her hair as Colby thrust into her asshole. Her lips parted. “I missed you, sexy. How about some loving for your man?” he asked and lowered his mouth to hers before she pulled back and took his cock between her lips. They all moaned as each of them thrust into every hole. She sucked and bobbed her head, tried unsuccessfully to counter-thrust between Colby and Quincy when Quincy roared and came.
“Let me in there, bro,” Shane said.
“Ease off, honey,” Seren said, and she released his cock, panting as Colby wrapped his arm around her waist and lifted her up with his cock still in her ass. Shane slid down, condom in place, and she smiled at him then lowered over his dick, taking it into her very wet, swollen pussy. They moaned.
“Fuck, I can’t take it. I can’t take it. All day is too fucking long to not be connected like this,” Colby complained as he held her shoulder under her hair with one hand, the other on her hip as he thrust faster and deeper into her asshole. She felt her body convulse, and then he roared as he came. He kissed her back, and Shane thrust upward.
“Kiss me, baby,” he said, and she lowered down and began to make out with Shane. They battled for control of the kiss and then just played with their tongues, deepened the kiss and then—
“Oh.” She pulled away and gasped as Seren thrust into her asshole from behind.
“I’m here, too, baby. Hold on for the ride,” Seren said and her sweet deputy got really wild quickly. He and Shane thrust into her over and over again, making the bed creak and headboard slam against the wall, and then they all came at once.
The sounds of their moans, the feel of their hands and lips on her skin, made her shiver and smile. “I love you guys,” she said without thinking and then fell to Shane’s chest.
“What did you say?” he asked her.
“She said she loves us, and we love her,” Seren told her and kissed her cheek, her ear, and along her bare shoulder.
Shane cupped her cheeks and made her look at him. She held his shocked gaze. “I love you, too.” He was so serious and then he was kissing her again, rolling her to her back and crushing her to the bed.
She wrapped her legs against his midsection and smiled, squeezed him back, then chuckled. “You’re so big. My God, you could crush me.”
He lifted up. “Only with love, sweetness. Only with love.”
The bed dipped, and Colby and Quincy were there. “Let’s clean you up, lover. We’re behind schedule,” Quincy told her. Shane eased from her body, and Quincy and Colby kissed her one after the next, then cleaned her up.
“I love you,” Quincy said and kissed her lips.
“I love you, too, and especially this pretty pink pussy and that tight sexy ass.” Colby gave her hip a squeeze, and she smiled.
“And I love all your bodies, your muscles, the tattoos, and the scars. My warriors,” she said.
Seren gave her hip a tap. “We are behind schedule. I’d better text Kane and say we’ll be late,” Seren said and picked up his cell phone.
“It wasn’t my fault,” Jade said.
“Sure it was,” Quincy told her and offered his hand for her to take.
“My fault how?” she asked.
“Those sexy tight jeans you wore with the pretty blouse. That ass walking back and forth, leaning over the counter, bending down…Jesus, I’m fucking hard again,” he said and pulled her close, squeezed her ass, and kissed her. His brothers chuckled.
“Well, there’ll be plenty of lovemaking in a few hours,” Colby said and winked.
“Let me just rinse off in the shower and then we’ll go.”
“Go ahead, maybe we’ll wait here, maybe we won’t,” Shane said.
“You have no choice. I barely fit in there myself,” she said and smiled, then walked into the small bathroom and felt excited and happy. She looked into the mirror and saw how flush she was, and felt happy, complete. “So, this is what love feels like?” She smiled wide, felt tears of joy, and quickly got into the shower. Life changing, that’s what this was. Life changing, and with her men by her side, anything was possible. Even a new life, with the past well behind her.
“I’ll give you fifty grand if you deliver her to me in Louisiana by Saturday,” Coleman told Flynn. Flynn looked at Curtis and the other men around the booth at the club.
“If it’s an easy extraction that’s fine, but my partner and I are looking to get more involved in working for you. So, we’re weighing our options. He wants to call her father, Eddie, and see how much he’ll pay,” Flynn said.
