Embracing Series Box Set #1-6

  “I had to dig deep, but I figured the investigator I hired would help. Find out what the agents who were questioning your girl look like. Then let me know.”

  “I’m heading to her place now.”

  I flag down a cab. I give the driver her address and text her to see what she is doing. She doesn’t reply. I freak a little.

  The drive to her condo isn’t long. She lives directly in the city, only a few miles away from the airport. We pull up in front of some brownstones and my heart drops a little. I’m so damn nervous. I pay the driver and walk to Alyssa’s door. I knock once. I see her cat jump onto the windowsill. Then I see Alyssa.

  “Heath, what the hell are you doing here? I was just texting you back. I was on the phone with Mom when your text came through,” she says as she falls into my arms. “Come in. Don’t just stand there.” She kisses me. “God, I’ve missed you so much.”

  “Baby, I’m sorry to just show up like this, but I needed to see you, so I did what I thought was right. I hopped on the first flight that I could.”

  “I’m okay. I was worried about you. I’ve been doing some research on the tramp. Did you know she was a fucking hooker?”

  “Hell no. Fuck, how could I have lived with her for three years and not known who the hell she was? I need the best description that you can give of the agents that were here because I think they’re involved.”

  “I wouldn’t put it past them. They sure seemed shady as fuck.”

  “I need you right now.” I grab her waist and kiss her. “I missed you so much, baby.”

  “Mmm…I missed you too. The bed, follow me,” she says as she drags me upstairs.

  The bed in her room is queen sized with an animal print comforter. I pull her to me and kiss her neck, making my way down to her collarbone. She’s wearing a long shirt with a pair of boy shorts underneath. I pull her shirt above her head. Her beautiful breasts are waiting for my attention.

  “Jesus, you are so damn beautiful.”

  I place her very hard nipple in my mouth. With my other hand, I pull her panties down. I slide my hand between her legs and feel how much she missed me.

  “So wet and ready.” I smirk. “Get on the bed and bend over so I can take you from behind,” I say as I kick my shoes off and pull my pants down.

  “Oh, God.” She does as I say.

  “Babe, I’m going to fuck you. I’m not sure if I’m going to last long, so come when I tell you to,” I say as I grab her hips. I place my hard cock at her opening and slide in. “So fucking sweet.” I pull out a little and thrust back in.

  “Fuck me. Show me how much you missed me. Oh, God…Heath.”

  “You like that, baby?” I ask as I thrust in and out. Her pussy clenches around me and my balls tighten. My dick pulsates as my release makes its way into my woman.

  “God, I’m coming,” she cries out as her back arches and she falls back against me. We come together as one.

  I wipe the sweat from my forehead. “I love you so fucking much.”

  “I can’t wait to wake up to that every day.” She giggles. I need to clean up.

  “Stay here. I’ll clean us up.” I walk into her en suite. Her bathroom is huge, though not as big as mine.

  “There are washcloths on the top shelf,” she yells.

  “Found them. I’m waiting for the water to get warm,” I say as I add a little soap to the cloths. When I walk back into the room, she is laying on her side, smiling at me. I point to a pic of two girls. One of the girls looks like Alyssa, just with auburn hair.

  “The girl with the auburn hair, is that you?”

  “Yes. The other girl is my friend and assistant, Mal. I’ve been dying my hair black for about a year now.” I see a hint of sadness on her face. She turns her head.

  “Why would you color it? I love it like it is. You are beautiful with your natural color too,” I say as I clean her up.

  “Thanks. I guess I was going through a phase. Speaking of phases, when I was in college, I kind of…slept with Mal,” she blurts.

  “Oh, are you bisexual?” Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I don’t want to share my girl with anyone.

  “No. The first time was a dare, and the other was a threesome. I told you I was young and dumb. I’ve never been with another woman. I hope this doesn’t change anything?” she says as she bites the corner of her lip.

  “Baby, I would never judge you based on your past. I know you’ve had a rough one. Hell, I have too. I love you for who you are. This right here is what makes me love you.” I place my hand over her chest. “Your heart is full of love and you just haven’t had the opportunity to give it to anyone else. There are a lot of things we’ll have to work through, but you are a remarkable woman. You’ll be whole again, I promise you that.” I kiss her forehead.

  She gasps as she puts her hand over her mouth. “Heath, I don’t deserve you.”

  “No, baby, you deserve so much more. I’ll do whatever it takes to show you that you are meant to be loved.”

  She grabs me around the neck and kisses me. I can feel her tears on my face. I wrap my arms around her and pick her up. I carry her into the bathroom and sit her on the counter as I turn the water on. After making sure it’s the right temperature, I place my hands around her waist, lift her, and stand her in the shower. I clean the spot I want to devour. I drop to my knees and place my mouth on her heat. She tangles both hands in my hair as she rolls her head back, resting it on the tile.

  “You taste so good. I’d rather have your pussy over ice cream any day.” I dip a finger in her while my tongue dances with her clit.

  “Only you could make that sound romantic.” She snorts.

  ***

  I’ve been in New York for three days now. Being here with my woman makes me so damn happy. Unfortunately, I’m allergic to her cat. My eyes are swollen and itching. I’ve taken more Benadryl these past three days than I have in my entire life.

  I finally got the info I was looking for. Jessika paid some bad men to help her with this plot of hers. It seems she has been working with them, and I think that her friend, Theresa, is involved because she is the only one that associates with Jess who knows about Lys.

  After receiving all the information my PI could get on her, I did some research on the detectives that came here. Apparently, Jess is sleeping with both of them. I knew something was off about them coming all the way here. They aren’t even part of the precinct in Holden.

  Alyssa has been working the last few days. All of her stuff is packed up. It’ll be shipped this week. Instead of taking all of her furniture, she’s including it with the condo. She added another couple grand to the list price. I know it’s hard on Alyssa, considering this is her home. She must really love me to just pick up and move her entire life around to accommodate mine.

  ***

  Today, we are flying back to North Carolina. A real detective is meeting us. He knows all about Jessika’s plot and he seems to think the only way to get her to confess is to trick her. He wants Alyssa to wear a wire and meet Jessika somewhere. I don’t want to take any chances. I told him I’d rather do it myself than put my woman in any kind of harm, but Alyssa wants to be the one to go. As crazy as Jessika is, there’s no telling what she’ll do.

  “Hey, baby. Everything is set. Are you ready?” I ask Alyssa as she walks into the kitchen.

  “Yes, as ready as I’ll ever be. I know that you love me and don’t mind me bringing Softie, but I think I’ll see if Abby will take him. I hate seeing those beautiful gray eyes red and swollen. I can still visit him.”

  “Babe, you don’t have to give your cat away.” I kiss her temple. “Our home is his home.”

  “I know, but it’ll be for the best. I’ve heard Brett loves cats.” She snorts.

  “I think he is allergic to them too,” I say.

  “Even better.” She giggles.

  “I love your evilness.”

  Chapter Fourteen

  Alyssa

  As w
e walk into Heath’s house, I see a basket sitting on the table in his foyer. I smile as Heath hands it to me. Inside is a bottle of white wine along with a few gift cards and a note. I pull the note out and start to read it.

  My dearest Lys,

  I knew the minute I laid my eyes on you that we belonged together. Thank you for moving your life around for me. Here is just a little something for you. Please take these and buy whatever you would like. You can rearrange whatever you want. If you want new furniture, we will get it. If you want to redo a room, we will redo it. It’s your call. This house is now your canvas. Please paint it how you like.

  Love Always,

  Heath

  “You’re amazing.” I look at the man of my dreams. He wipes away my tears.

  “Anything for you, love. Anything,” he says as I melt into his arms.

  “I think I have jet lag. Do we have time to take a nap before meeting with Detective Meek?” I ask.

  He pulls his phone from his pocket and checks the time. “Yes, we do. There is another surprise for you up there.” He winks.

  I feel a little nervous as I walk up the stairs. This is my home now. I haven’t lived with anyone since college. When we get close to the bedroom, he grabs my hand.

  “Close your eyes,” he orders. I do as he says. We walk into the bedroom. “Okay, open them.”

  “Oh, my goodness. Heath, when did you do this?” I ask. The closet is filled with new clothes. There are suits, dresses, jeans, and lounge clothes.

  “You like?” He smirks

  “I love. You know my taste so well,” I say, looking at a leopard print Chanel scarf.

  “Well, about that. I kind of had some help from your sister.” He scratches the back of his head.

  “Ahh, so she is as sneaky as you?” I giggle. “I think I should show you how much I appreciate you.”

  I unbutton his jeans. He groans as I push him to the bed.

  He falls backward and I pull his pants down. He kicks his shoes off. I grab the waistband of his boxer briefs and slide them down. His thick cock springs forward. I lick my lips.

  I’ll admit it, I love oral, but having Heath’s cock in my mouth turns me on more than anything. The taste of him on my tongue sends me over the edge. As I wrap my lips around the tip of his shaft, I place my hand at the base. I move my mouth up and down, simultaneously quickening my hand movements. I relax my throat and feel his pre-cum hitting my tonsils. He pushes my head further and bucks his hips. His warm saltiness flows through my mouth. After swallowing all of it, I release his cock with a popping sound.

  “Jesus, woman. You drive me fucking crazy,” he says as he grabs the back of my head and kisses me. “Strip, now,” he orders.

  I do as he says. Just as I figured, my panties are drenched. I kick them to the side and climb on top of him. He flips us over so that he’s on top. He kisses his way down to my wet pussy and licks my folds, making me scream his name.

  ***

  After meeting with Detective Meek, we had to figure out how we wanted to proceed with this since we have the information that ties all this to Jessika and her partners in crime. We just need her to confess that this was all just a set up so we have proof from the perpetrator herself. Apparently, Jess and her partners are running a drug and prostitution ring.

  “Lys, I don’t know about this. It’s dangerous. I know you are smart, but I couldn’t live with myself if something were to happen to you.”

  “I think I can get her to confess. I can interrogate her really well.”

  “Let’s sleep on it. I just have a bad feeling about this.”

  “I’ll be fine. Then hopefully this will be the last we hear from Jessika,” I say, wrapping my arms around his waist. My phone rings. It’s my sister. “Abby is calling. I’m going to invite her and Brett over and get their opinion. Is that okay?” I ask Heath before I answer my phone.

  “Of course it is.” He kisses me. “I’ll start the grill.”

  “Hey, sis,” I answer.

  “You finally home?”

  “Yes. Come over for dinner. We need to talk and Heath is starting the grill.”

  “Okay. I’ll bring a salad. Brett will be home a little late, so I’ll be alone.”

  “Oh, is he working late?”

  “Yes. He has some extra stuff to tend to. I’ll be over in a few.”

  “Okay.” I slide my phone off. Ever since they moved to North Carolina, Brett seems to have been working a lot. I’m curious about what he is up to, but I decide not to read too much into it.

  ***

  “So, you’re telling me you want to go face-to-face with this crazy woman? I’m not sure I feel comfortable with you or Heath doing this,” my sister says, folding her arms over her chest.

  I sip my wine. “I want this bitch behind bars. She isn’t going to fuck up our lives.”

  “Baby, I still think I should be the one to do it. Detective Meek will be on standby,” Heath says.

  “Fine, whatever y’all want. I’m going to bed. I’m tired.” I kiss my sister, then Heath. “Night, love you both. Take the leftovers to Brett and kiss Softie for me.”

  I walk up the stairs. I pull my clothes off and slip one of Heath’s shirts over my head. For the first time since we’ve been together, I’m pissed at him. I know we aren’t supposed to go to bed angry, but I’m fucking livid. He is putting his life in jeopardy. I don’t trust that bitch. I know that I could get hurt, but I can’t live without him. I already lost Seth. I can’t lose Heath too.

  I hear Abby leaving. Then I feel Heath climb in bed next to me. He wraps his arms around me and I can feel his heart racing against my back. He leans over and pushes my hair away from my ear.

  He kisses my neck and whispers, “Baby, please don’t be upset. I couldn’t stand it if she harmed you,” he says as he rubs my side. It isn’t until I feel the tears hit my hand that I realize I’m sobbing. “Please don’t cry. Look at me. Please,” he begs.

  I turn over to face him. I can see the hurt in his eyes. I know he only wants to do what is best for me, but I want to do this. I rest my head in his chest and let him console me. I try to speak, but the words won’t come out. Heath sighs. Seconds later, he mumbles, “Fuck.”

  “Wh-what’s wrong?”

  “If you want to do this, then you can, but know I’m not okay with this. At all.” He sighs. “I’ll fucking kill her if she hurts you.”

  “I’ll be fine.” I smile at him. I hug him as I drift to sleep in his arms.

  Chapter Fifteen

  Alyssa

  Today is the day we’re setting Jessika up. I’m going to call her and offer her some money in exchange for clearing our names.

  “Okay, Alyssa. You have the wire. Use the code word ‘Holden’ and we’ll be right there. If, for any reason, you think that she has caught onto you, back out. She is a dangerous woman,” Detective Meek says.

  “I’ll be fine. I got this. Just be on standby.”

  I pull out my phone. I dial the number that I’ve seen come across Heath’s phone may times. It rings a few times. Then she answers.

  “Hello.”

  “Hey, is this Jessika?”

  “Um…Yeah. Who is this?”

  “Hey, doll. This is Alyssa Sommers. How are you? I hope you are healing from your incident.”

  “Cut the bullshit. What do you want?”

  “Oh, sweetie, no BSing going on here. I want to make you an offer you can’t refuse. You interested?”

  “I haven’t hung up yet, now have I?”

  “Okay, so here is the thing. As you know, I have connections, just as you do. I know you have been working with the two detectives that came to New York looking for me. I also know all your dirty secrets, so this is what I have for you. If you drop all the charges you have against Heath and me, I won’t tell anyone and I will give you ten grand. How’s that sound?”

  “I have no clue what you’re talking about. You had someone rape me. They beat the shit out of me so bad I was hospitaliz
ed.”

  “Come on, Jess, you and I both know that you weren’t raped and beaten. Now, if you want to know something…That did happen to me when I was nineteen. Not sure if you and your friends found that out, since you know everything else, but it’s not funny to lie about that kind of stuff. It happens to a lot of innocent girls.

  “Come meet me for coffee and we can talk about it. Heath is at work and I’m at the Boardwalk. I’ll even buy you lunch and give you some money to get your next fix,” I say, knowing I may have to press her hard. Then there’s silence. “You there, Jess?” I ask.

  “Okay, I’ll be there. Do not tell Heath about this. I’ll deny everything if you do.” She sighs before hanging up.

  I look at Heath and Detective Meek and give them a thumbs up. They make their way to the hiding spot and I sit and wait for Jess to arrive. I order myself a latte and drink it by the time she shows up. She walks in and she automatically knows who I am. I situate myself, making sure she can’t see my wires. Then I do a test to see if Meek can her me. I hear his voice come through the small earbuds, so I know we are good to go.

  “So, you are the whore that’s been sleeping with my man?” she asks as she sits in front of me. Her hair is long and stringy and she reeks of cigarette smoke. Her teeth have a grimy film, the teeth of a user. Her clothes aren’t very clean either. She would be pretty if she were clean.

  “Well, hey, doll.” I reach out my hand. “You must be Jess.”

  “Yeah, cut the crap. What kind of money are we talking? What do I need to do?” she asks. Ahh, putty in my hands.

  “My, my, someone is in a hurry.” I giggle. “Sweet Jess, what kind of money would you like? The ten grand? You drop the charges and I’ll give you whatever you want,” I say as I lean back in the booth.

  “I want Heath back.”

  “Now, I don’t think that is doable. You see, he dumped you. You’re the one that fucked that up, my dear, but I’m glad you did, because had you not, then I wouldn’t have him. So, who really did all that to you? I’ll give you the ten grand if you tell me the truth. It’s just us. I won’t even tell Heath about this little meeting.”
