Laura looked up at Joe shyly looking at him through her lashes, “Yes sir.” She stood up on tippy toes, kissing his lips quickly and then made her escape down the hall to the bathroom to grab a quick shower.
During dinner they talked about their day, what they could talk of, with laughter and jokes between the three of them. Joe teased Cody about a girl in his class that he didn’t like. After dinner was done, they cleaned the kitchen then retired to the living room to watch a show together as a family, curled up on the sofa. Joe sat at one end with Cody in the middle, for now. Joe had his arm across the back of the couch making sure he was touching Laura’s shoulder or her hair. At bedtime they tucked Cody into his bed, reading to him his nightly story before retiring to their bedroom.
As soon as they stepped into their bedroom, Joe followed through with his earlier promise. “Take ye clothes off lass and stand by the end of the bed now.”
Laura quickly disrobed, knowing she had upset him with her earlier statements and that her punishment was going to be doled out. Joe disrobed down to his boxers when he saw Laura standing near the end of the bed and walked up behind her pulling her body into his, her back to his front, his hand going into her hair, yanking her head to the side, his mouth leaving a hot trail going down her neck. He could feel her pulse beating away beneath his lips, it felt like a horse galloping away. He couldn’t tell if she was scared or excited.
“It’s obvious the spanking ye received this morning dinnae work so I’m going te punish ye a different way love. Get on the bed and bend over. I want ye knees on the mattress and ye face te the side. Then place ye hands at ye ankle and donnae move. Arse in the air how I like it. Ye are nae allowed te come until I say that ye can. Do ye hear me?” Joe ordered in his low, hard voice at Laura’s ear.
“That’s not fair, damn it. I simply asked. Jesus. Ouch, that hurt.”
Joe smacked Laura hard on her right ass cheek. “Aye love, it will hurt and ye dinnae just ask who Caroline was, ye assumed I was cheating on ye with her. That’s disrespectful te her, te Wolf, te me, and most of all, disrespectful te ye. Now hands at ye ankles and dinnae move until I tell ye te,” Joe ordered.
Joe pulled out the Velcro cuffs he had in the drawer and cuffed Laura’s right hand to her right ankle and her left hand to her left ankle, keeping her on her knees. He positioned her ass just the way he liked it while caressing her ass cheeks then moved away from the bed and walked out of the room. He went into the kitchen to get a few things and then checked the locks on the windows, the front door, and then went and checked on Cody making sure he was still sleeping.
Taking his time to build up the anticipation, he stood in the doorway watching Laura squirm around on the bed. He finally decided enough was enough and wanted to feel her tight pussy squeezing his dick good so he went over to her and swatted her ass cheek. “Stop moving lass or I’ll spank ye arse good and then take the back hole instead of ye pussy like I want. We have nae played this way before, but I will tonight te make ye understand I’m tired of ye putting yeself down or comparing yeself te other women. I dinnae want them, I want ye, and eventually ye will figure out I mean it.”
Joe’s index finger teased her puckered hole as he said words. They haven’t tried anal play much, but he wouldn’t be above doing it for punishment. Shaking his mind off of his thoughts, he moved his finger from her back hole down to her pussy and started circling her clit, teasing her just a little. Never touching the bud, just the outskirts. When Laura started moaning just a little, he stopped. Reaching over to the nightstand where he’d placed a cold bowl, he got out an ice cube and lightly ran it over her puckered hole, chuckling at her gasp and attempt to get away. Joe swatted her ass telling her to settle down then moved the ice to her core, teasing the area and circling back up to her clit.
Deciding he wanted to taste her nipples as he teased her, Joe turned Laura over. Helping her onto her back, keeping her hands and ankles cuffed together, he rubbed a cube on one nipple getting it rock hard while he sucked and nibbled on the other one then switched nipples until the ice cube melted. Once that cube melted, he grabbed another one from the bowl and moved down to her clit, slowly dragging the ice cube over her bundle of nerves while he tongued her tight pussy, bringing her to a frenzy. When he felt her reach that edge, he backed away, stood up, and he put the cube in his mouth crunching on the ice staring at her. She had murder in her eyes because he withheld her orgasm, but that only made Joe chuckle just a little. He slowly took his boxers off, stroking his painfully hard cock as he held her gaze.
Grabbing another ice cube, he bent over to continue to lick, suck, and nip on her clit while he fucked her pussy with the ice cube, never giving her the full amount of the pleasure she sought. He could taste her frustration. He continued this sweet torture for an hour, driving her completely insane pleading with him to let her come until she had tears streaming down her face. Laura begged Joe for forgiveness, telling him she loved him and begging him to fuck her so she could come. Each time Joe backed away for a moment before going right back in and starting all over again.
Finally deciding that he needed his release just as much as she did, he leaned over her, staring into her eyes, one hand wrapped around her throat and the other steading himself on the bed, he slammed his hard cock into her dripping pussy as growled down at her. “Dinnae ye dare come lass. Nae until I tell ye te. If ye come I will pull out and come all over ye tits and go stay at my brother’s place. Ye pissed me off thinking I would cheat on ye with Cody in tow. That makes me feel like ye dinnae trust me and that hurt, lass. I love ye so fucking much but I will nae tolerate such disrespect.”
Joe rode Laura hard, never breaking eye contact as he slammed his cock into her over and over. Laura opened her mouth in a silent scream as she stared up at Joe. “Oh Joe, please let me come, please.”
Joe rammed a few more times into her hard as he leaned down nipping the side of her lips at the same time he growled, “Tha mi sa' ghaol leat Bidh gaol agam ort fad mo bheatha, thusa 's gun duine eile mo chridhe croie. Fuck love come, fuck this is going to be an intense one.”
He slammed into Laura one last time, growling her name as he came hard inciting her release, which had Laura burrowing her head into the mattress and screaming Joe’s name into his neck, shaking from head to toe. When she was able to recover her breath, Laura whispered, “I’m sorry, Oh God, I’m sorry, Joe. I love you and I get scared sometimes.”
When Joe could move, he kissed her forehead and reached down to undo the cuffs from her hand and ankles and pulled Laura into his arms entangling their limbs together. In the year that they had been together, they had realized that they couldn’t sleep very well without being wrapped around each other. Joe had never been able to sleep like that with any other women in his past. As soon as he hit it, he quit it. Since being with Laura, he couldn’t live without touching her in some way, asleep or awake. They usually woke up with him lying on top of her with limbs entwined or vice versa.
“Ok lass, what is on ye mind? Ye said this new case has ye troubled. Talk te me,” Joe said into Laura’s hair.
“Four girls went missing the other day. They had all lied to their parents telling them they were staying at one of the other friend’s house so they could go to this arcade. Apparently they liked to go to this place called the BlueMan Arcade for some dancing game thing they have there because they wanted to practice for the cheerleading squad next year. Sometime between arriving there and leaving, they were kidnapped. So far no ransom demands have been made and nothing indicates that they ran away,” Laura explained to Joe as she curled up to him a little more closely.
“OK, but that’s normally where ye lasses come in. What’s bothering ye about this case more than normal?”
“The dad of the girl we went to interview today - he was really harsh with his ex-wife. It made me feel like I was dealing with my ex-husband. Cortez had to put her hand on me to calm me down because I started to go off on the bastard. What made it worse was whe
n we went into the arcade, the owner gave us really bad creepy vibes. We both feel like he’s lying about the cameras in the place. I think he personally uses them to perv on the kids. I believe he knows more than he’s saying. Captain is calling our computer expert back in from her vacation, which sucks, but we need her big time on this one. I hate to think what these girls are going through right now.” Laura sighed as she kissed Joe’s chest before laying her head back down.
“Aye love, I understand. Tell ye what, I can make a call te a friend of mine named Tex who is way better at computers than any guys ye can get since he isnae going to have to deal with the red tape ye guys will. Let me know what information ye have on the parents and the arcade owner. I’ll give them te Tex when I call him in the morning. Now relax and get some rest while ye can, something tells me ye lasses are going to have ye hands full with this until it’s solved.”
“Thanks, Joe. I appreciate it. I love you.” Laura kissed Joe then finally drifted off. Joe waited until she was sound asleep before moving out from under her. When he made it to the living room with his cell in hand, he dialed a number and waited for the person on the other line to answer.
“Better be good to be calling me this late,” came the growl on the other end of the line.
“Aye Tex, it’s MacCleod. Sorry te bother ye this late, but it’s important.”
“Oh hey, no problem. What’s up, man? Don’t tell me you have a stalker and need help to get rid of her?” Tex laughed.
Joe chuckled. “Nae, nothing like that. The lass I’m going te marry has caught a case that’s making her and her teammates antsy. That’s nae a good thing with this bunch. She stated they all felt like the manager of this arcade place is hiding something. They are calling their computer geek back in from vacation te have her dig inte the parents and the arcade owner. I ken ye can dig deeper without the bullshite red tape holding ye up. Do ye have the time?”
Tex whistled, “Wow, the heartthrob from the highlands of Scotland has fallen. Welcome to the club, brother. If she managed to snag you then she must be something special. Between your team and Wolf’s, it was running joke who could bag the most women between missions before they met their women. You said she’s working on a case? What does she do?”
Joe smiled big. “Aye, she’s special Tex. She’s everything, both her and her son Cody. She’s a detective for the Riverton County Sheriff’s Department, working on a special ops task force. The team specializes in human trafficking, going after the arseholes on domestic soil like we do on foreign soil. Her team is great and were the ones who handled Russell’s case last year.”
“I remember that one, Wolf told me about it. Give me the information and I’ll check into it. And Joe, keep an eye on her, what she does isn’t easy. I still make regular calls to Fiona when she has one of her episodes if Cookie is gone.”
“Aye, I agree. She won’t admit it, but I ken how hard it is for them. I have calmed her down on many a night when she’s in the middle of a nightmare or a crying episode from one of her cases. I cannae imagine what she goes through when I’m nae home te hold her. These lasses are like pitbulls on a case and dinnae rest. Thanks man, I owe ye one. Say hi te ye lasses for me.”
Joe sat there for a few minutes reflecting on his conversation with Tex. Granted what Fiona, Cookie’s wife, had gone through when she was abducted, beaten, and raped after being kidnapped and brought south of the border was worlds away from what Laura and her team experienced. The fact that they had to see what these victims went through during the course of rescuing them was bad enough. He made a mental note to let Wolf and Cookie know a little more about Laura since all they really knew about her profession was that she was a cop. With Fiona’s past, as well as their Commanding Officer’s wife Julie, he would probably need to give them a heads up to talk with the wives to make sure they would be okay with Laura at the cookout in case she got a call or something. He never really thought of any of that until his talk with Tex tonight. Joe got up and went back to the bedroom and watched Laura sleep. He didn’t care what the others thought - if she couldn’t be there, then he wouldn’t be there either, despite the rest of his team going. Laura was his life now and he wasn’t going to exclude her in anything he did just because of her job.

The next several days were hectic for Alpha Squad. Between dealing with the victims’ parents, fighting to verify if the cameras were indeed fake, the owner refusing to call them back, and not being able to get much information out of the school about the girls’ habits, the team felt like they were hitting brick walls at a hundred miles an hour. To make matters worse for Laura, Joe and his team left that morning for a new mission that his team was up for which had put her in a bad mood. Just before quitting time, Laura got the call she wasn’t aware she was awaiting.
“Riverton County Sheriff’s Office, how may I help you?” Laura answered.
“Hello, may I speak with Detective Laura Pratt, please?” responded an unfamiliar male voice.
“This is Detective Pratt, how may I help you?”
“Hi Detective, my name is Tex. Joe gave me a call the other day asking for help with information on the parents and an arcade owner in the case you’re working on,” Tex informed Laura.
“Oh ok, I didn’t know that he had made the call. I appreciate the call. It’s been nuts around here chasing our damn tails with this case. Neither the parents nor the owner of the arcade are cooperating with us. I’m trying to keep my work partner from popping a cap in his ass right now.”
“I can understand how that goes. Let me know if she caps his ass, I’ll make sure the charges go away for her.” Tex chuckled at Laura’s groan.
“For the love of God, please do not tell her that or she’ll do it just to get away with it. I will not allow you to make her a bigger monster than she already is. Please tell me you have some good news in all this jungle of bullshit we’re dealing with, Mr. Tex,” Laura begged.
“It’s just Tex ma’am. Not sure about good news, but I do have some that might help. Seems two of the parents are heading for divorce and are fighting for custody of the kids. They haven’t filed just yet, but I was able to find information that shows they are headed that way. The father is a complete ass and the basically wants money to play all day. Neither one really cares about the kids, it’s about control. Joe told me about the parents you interviewed the other day, and I can tell you the father is a control freak with issues where women are concerned. I have found several complaints filed against him for domestic violence.”
“I knew he was an asshole, thanks for confirming that. Were you able to find anything on the arcade owner? I have this gut feeling he’s lying about the cameras. They had the red light showing, but he swore it was just for show,” Laura stated.
“Joe said you were smart. To answer your question, yes he was lying about the cameras being fake. I was able to pull up footage for the week of the girl’s disappearance and the week after. He kept them all stored on his computer system in his office.”
“Please don’t tell me how you got it, just that you got it,” Laura said.
“I can have all that I have found sent to your computer for you and your team to review. I have to say I’m impressed with RCSO for creating the task force. I admit I was clueless they had created this team but from what I’ve found, I’m definitely impressed. Thank you for what you and your team do,” Tex complimented.
“Yeah, we pretty much stay under the radar. We don’t like publicity or advertisement. Not even other co-workers truly know what we do. We prefer this for the safety and security of the victims we are able to rescue.”
“I can understand that. I hope the information I sent you helps. If you need anything else, just get in touch and I’ll be more than happy to help out anyway I can. I mean it, Detective, be safe out there.”
“Thank you, Tex. I really appreciate it more than you know. I will definitely reach out if we need more help. Have a good night.”
Laura hung up
and sent Cortez a text letting her know she just got some information they would want to sift through for the case. Laura checked her emails and sure enough there was an email from Tex. How the hell he got her email she didn’t know, but she was grateful he was able to help them. This case, although pretty routine, something just felt really off. That’s what bothered her the most.
Cortez and Laura poured over the information they received from Tex and watched all three videos that he found. It wasn’t good. In the first video it showed the girls walking into the arcade for the first time three months ago playing a few games before finding the dancing video game that Diane Jennings told them about. They watched all four girls playing on the machine separately and then again two at a time to challenge each other. They were at the arcade for a couple of hours. The second video showed the girls going directly to the dancing game. In this video, it showed the owner going up to the girls and standing behind Danika Star a little too close talking to all of them. Video three showed the day that the girls went missing. They saw the girls entering the arcade, going as usual to the dancing game and then ten minutes later Dennis Ackerman going over to talk to the girls for several minutes then going toward the back. Several minutes later the girls went out the front door and that was the end of it.
Cortez pulled out her phone and called Captain Irby and Sgt. Brocard to let them know they found video footage from the cameras that the owner said didn’t work. Twenty minutes later, the Captain, the Lt, the Sgt., and Sheriff Phillips walked in.
“Detective Pratt, where did you get the video feed if the cameras were fake?” Sheriff Phillips asked.
“An anonymous person, sir. Is there any way we can get a warrant to search the place since he’s been less than forthcoming or do we have any other grounds to obtain one? I strongly believe he has something to do with their abduction,” Laura said.
