“I’m glad you’re safe,” I whisper while giving him a one-arm hug.
Jarrod clears his throat. “We need to leave.”
Without another word he stomps off toward his truck, and a quick glance at Ivy, has me witnessing her upset at being ignored by him. I’m surprised that Jarrod hasn’t asked if she’s okay, but instead he seems to be in a temper over something.
I hide my frown and slipping my hand into Julian’s, offer Ivy a smile.
Gia wraps Ivy in a hug, and says, “My father is angry at the situation, not you Ivy. I promise. Just let him calm down…and, once I’ve kicked him in the butt for being an ass, please don’t break his heart.”
Ivy looks off toward the truck, and sadly says, “I’m not sure I’ll even get the chance to be part of it.”
“I think you’re already in it,” Gia admits, giving Ivy another hug. “We need to leave.”
Turning toward the vehicle, we slowly make our way over when I feel Ivy’s eyes on me. “You and Julian, huh?” she offers a weak smile.
I blush, and admit, “I may be, um, dating him.” His hand tightens around mine, followed by a chuckle.
Gia throws her head back and gives a loud throaty laugh. “Dating my ass!” She hoots with laughter. “One minute she’s complaining, ‘he won’t let me touch it’ and the next they’re sharing a room.” She giggles and finally shuts up when Hunter covers her mouth with his.
“You can’t resist teasing your friends, huh?” he asks, a soft smile on his face for his wife.
Gia shakes her head grinning.
At the trucks, Julian pulls me around the side of Hunter’s and hauls me into his arms, slamming his mouth down to mine. His tongue pushes for access and in that moment everything is forgotten except for what this man means to me, and what he makes me feel. I wrap myself around him while ignoring the background noise of a throat being cleared.
Julian is highly aroused with the length of him pulsing against my belly and as we devour each other, he jerks and swells to even larger proportions.
Julian gradually starts to slow the kiss down until I’m wrapped against him. He drops his chin to the top of my head. “I was worried,” he admits.
“He wasn’t the only one,” Hunter growls.
I turn and see my friend being hauled into Hunter’s truck. Julian keeps an arm around me and ushers me into the SUV. “We’ll head back together,” he tells us. “Stay close to the truck.”
Jarrod nods his head through the window of his, and I notice Ivy in the passenger seat as he slowly drives out on to the main street.
We follow in convoy and when we pull up outside of Jarrod’s house, I meet Julian’s gaze and realize he’s pissed. His eyes swim with fury and I have no idea why he’d be so pissed with me.
Before I can get out of the car, Julian hauls me out and over his shoulder before he strides into the house and upstairs.
I have an amazing view of his ass and wanting to lighten him up some, I slip my hands into the back of his jeans to his naked ass and squeeze. His breath catches and when I push my fingers between his legs, pressing against that sensitive place, he stumbles into our room.
Catching himself, he growls and tosses me to the bed.

Julian
My cock is hard as fucking steel after Parker having her hands all over my ass, and the feel of her fingers as they stroked between my legs had very nearly caused me to orgasm.
She has no fucking clue as to how she makes me feel, and as I rip my clothes from my body, my heavy cock bursts free. It throbs and pulses with a need to fuck her so strong that it’s only pure will power keeping me grounded.
Parker watches me through heavy lidded eyes, and quickly stripping herself bare, her eyes stray to my cock, and then when she rubs her tongue back and forth across her bottom lip the tingle in my balls warns me that I’m about to come. She sits on the side of the bed, cocking a finger for me to move closer.
I breathe deeply but nothing calms the beast inside of me, and when I’m standing between her legs she wraps her fingers around my dick, rubbing a nipple with the rapidly leaking tip…and I fucking loose it.
Growling through the intense release, which continues as I watch my jizz coat her breasts and nipples, I feel a slight blush start to creep into my face. What the hell though, watching and feeling her holding my dick to her breasts is driving me totally nuts.
It takes strength, but I finally manage to pry her hand from me, and at last I feel as though I can breathe. “Fuck,” I curse, dropping to my knees. “That was unbelievably hot, and so fucking good.” I laugh. “You brought me to my knees.”
She grabs her shirt and after wiping her hand, runs her fingers through my hair. A shiver runs through me at the touch and then goose bumps break out all over her body as I gently cup the mounds of her breasts, rubbing my release into them. “Are you wet?” I meet her gaze and her eyes blaze with arousal.
“Very,” she answers, spreading her legs further apart.
“God,” I gasp, “I need to taste you, and then fuck you, but remember, I fucking love you.”
Grabbing hold of her bottom, I tip her up to my waiting mouth and get lost in the taste of my woman. She’s wet and so ready for my cock that I ache to be inside of her…to feel the wet grip of her sheath while I’m balls deep.
I growl against her little pulsing clit, and suckling it into my mouth, she pants and groans, thrashing her head side-to-side while clenching the quilt beneath her. I lick up all she gives me feeling her flesh quivering on my tongue.
She has me seconds from coming again, which is damn embarrassing considering I used to be able to go all fucking night without coming while fucking.
This is so much different though. I’ve never been in love before. I’ve never been so obsessed with a woman that just the sight of her gives me a boner. I sure as hell haven’t come without the fucking of either a woman or my hand before. She’s brought me to my fucking knees, and I don’t give a shit.
Rising up above her, I thrust inside the minute my cock aligns with her glistening core and growl in pleasure. Her pussy surrounds my cock, rippling along the whole pulsing length as her arousal soaks my balls.
Unable to catch a breath, I push her with my hips up the bed, crawling on after her. Taking her wrists in one hand, I hold them above her head as my other hand trails down over her breasts, navel, to land on her bottom.
My mouth hovers over hers, as I admit, “I need to fuck you hard, and fast.”
Her legs wrap around my waist just as she gasps into my mouth. “I’m going to come,” she whispers, and the moan that follows nearly finishes me off.
Our mouths meet in a hungry kiss while I rub against her, and then she’s coming…her core pulsates strongly, flooding me with warmth…and then my release explodes and I swear I see fucking stars. The pleasure rippling through me, curls my toes, and coats my skin with goose bumps. I release her hands and wrap myself around her, and just when I start to breathe again, her fingernails dig into my shoulders causing my dick to jerk, releasing one last stream of semen.
My body shudders as I roll to my side, taking Parker with me, still joined to her sated body.
“You told me you loved me,” she mumbles against my chest before lifting away and meeting my gaze.
Smiling, I admit, “I meant every word, honey… Although I didn’t mean to let it slip out while we were having sex but I do mean it.” I reach for her thigh and tug her leg over my hip, so that she’s even closer.
We groan at the sensation of me sinking deeper as my cock swells ready for more action, but I have more to say before we give into our desires.
I roll her onto her back, staying snug against her beautiful body. Resting my forehead against hers, I hold her gaze. “I love you, Parker. I fell in love with you before we’d even kissed. I just didn’t realize it until recently. You’ve driven me crazy, and from the minute I met you, it has only been you.”
She stays silent with tears spring
ing to her eyes. “I love you too. It hurt when you kept pushing me away.”
Pressing her head against my chest, I admit, “I know. It hurt me doing the pushing. I have you now and I’m not letting you go.”
“I wouldn’t let you go now that I know how you feel.” She kisses my chest. “What’s going to happen, Julian?” she asks, wrapping her arms tightly around my waist, getting comfortable.
“Unbeknown to us, Colin had small camera’s placed on neighboring properties to catch the comings and goings at Ivy’s. He had the same security set up outside of Jarrod’s home and yours.”
“Mine! Oh no, Julian.”
“Shush, they didn’t catch anything we wouldn’t have wanted anyone to see.” I smile, reassuring her. “I’d have killed someone if they’d have seen you naked.”
“Okay, if you’re sure, then carry on.”
“The minute Abatangelo had been spotted a team was scrambled and Hunter received the call. He’d scared the life out of me Parker. Hunter lost all color and I thought he was going down, and then I felt sucker punched when he told me what was happening and where. The longest minutes of my life were as we rushed to get to you.”
Parker rises up and cupping my face in her gentle hands, places a soft kiss to my lips. “I love you and I’m so glad that I get to tell you.”
“God, honey.” I tug her against me, holding her so tight that she eventually wiggles. She lifts her eyes to meet my gaze, before she straddles my body.
I hold her gaze before I let my eyes travel down to her chest as I cup her beautiful breasts. They fill my hands and the beaded tips of her nipples poke out between my fingers. My thumbs play with the sharp points, and the tightening around my dick tells me she loves my touch.
“We’re supposed to be talking,” I remind her as she undulates on me.
“Mmm, well…I’m guessing that once I let you out of this bed that you’re going to be going off with Hunter, filling in reports or something. So I’m making sure you remember what’s waiting for you when you come home to me.”
I still at her words, and something snaps inside of me. I tug her down and sealing my mouth with hers, I devour her as I roll us. “I love you,” I whisper before our mouths fuse together and I make love to her in a frenzy of need.

Parker
Night came out of nowhere and the feeling of contentment has settled in my belly along with nerves. I hug a cushion to my chest while I try and concentrate on the movie that Gia had put on a while ago. However, my mind is on the man in the kitchen with Hunter and Jarrod. I know they’re going to be heading in to the Marshals office tomorrow.
I can’t wait to be done with this whole thing because I just want to be able to go into the mountains, or head to the beach with Julian for some alone time. I just want to be with him.
I glance at Ivy and watch her drop into the chair with a heavy sigh. She looks tired and pale and very distracted. I’m curious as to what has happened, if anything, between Ivy and Jarrod. No one ever died of curiosity and I guess I’m glad considering nothing is forthcoming from Ivy.
Normally our friend would be the one asking the most questions, but not today. She hasn’t said anything to us about what was going on at her house with Brendan before the shit hit the fan. I’m not even sure why Abatangelo let him run off, and why he didn’t try to keep him as another hostage.
“I can’t believe,” Ivy looks between us, “either of you haven’t asked any questions?” She smirks and looks at Gia, “Especially you.”
Gia shrugs. “I’m curious about my father, but you look a bit shaky so I figured I’d leave it until you started talking. I didn’t want to force anything.”
I smile. “We’re here for you, Ivy…and I’m getting impatient for juicy details... Jarrod?”
Ivy softly smiles, and the next minute Gia winces. “You’re one of my best friends Ivy, but now you’re with my father, I seriously don’t want details. I mean my father does not have sex. Ever!”
I stare at Gia and then a huge grin splits my face before I start laughing. “So funny.” I have tears of laughter leaking down my face. “She’s as young as we are and we can’t keep our hands off our guys… You seriously don’t believe that Ivy’s different.”
“You two are being ridiculous, and if you want to know something, then I’ll tell you that on the way back to the house, Jarrod apologized, kind of.” She shrugs and still doesn’t look too happy. I told him about what happened when those men arrived at my house. He was pissed and said it was my fault.” Tears slowly make their way down her face that she quickly wipes.
“Ivy, it was not your fault.” Gia moves forward on the chair, anger crossing her face. “My father is an idiot.”
I contemplate Jarrod’s reaction to Ivy, after the fact, and I wonder… “Jarrod is a hard Judge, but in his private life he’s loving and will do anything to protect all of us, especially you. I think what happened today, that they got to you so easily, has scared the crap out of him.”
Gia’s thoughtful. “Hmm, I hadn’t thought of that, and you’re right.” She smiles. “Okay, one last thing I will say, I don’t want any details about your sex life with my father.”
Ivy’s eyes widen in surprise. She laughs and smirks. “I haven’t had sex with Jarrod…yet.” Ivy grins, leaning her head against the back of the chair. “But I mean the man rocks his black dress pants and white shirt like no one else,” she says, a dreamy look on her face.
A throat being cleared brings our attention to the men standing behind us in the doorway. I chuckle when I meet the amusement in Julian’s eyes. Jarrod stares at Ivy, his lips twitching, and Hunter’s gaze blazes into Gia.
Chuckling, I ask, “So what’s happening?”
Julian comes and sits on the sofa with me, my legs over his thighs. “Abatangelo isn’t going anywhere for a very long time, if ever.” He glances at Hunter.
“Sumo is talking…a lot. He gave us a location. Carrie’s sister, Jessica, was found there, along with three other girls. It looks like they were rescued before anything could really happen to them. They’re damn lucky.” Hunter lifts Gia up from the chair and sitting back down, tugs her into his lap. “Jarrod has a shortcut on his cell to record, so the minute he realized what was happening he set it going. We have everything he said on there, which Sumo has signed to say is a true record.”
Julian holds my gaze. “So the threat has gone.”
“He got away once before,” Gia says, what I was thinking.
“Not this time,” Jarrod answers. “He’s being held elsewhere, which is classified so don’t ask.”
“Don’t worry about it.” Julian removes the cushion from my lap and takes my hand. “It’s all over with for now. There’ll be a trial, but everyone is safe now. All his associates are going to have scattered.” He pauses and glances at Ivy. “Brendan had been paid by Abatangelo to give him access to you.”
Ivy closes her eyes before she opens them, and says, “I knew there was something off with him. Luckily, my heart wasn’t involved,” she glances at Jarrod, and then back to the room at large, “and although I’m ashamed to admit it, but he was more of a distraction than anything else.” Ivy winces, resting her head back against the chair.
Sitting up, I crawl into Julian’s lap, snuggling against his chest. His arms come around me, holding me tightly against him as I feel his lips press softly against the top of my head. “You’ll be safe, honey. I promise,” he whispers.
“I know, but doesn’t this mean that you’ll have to head back to your base soon?” I ask my voice laced with fear because even if, no when, I go with him, he’ll still be in the line of danger.
His hands flex on my hips. “I promised you a few days alone. I don’t break a promise.”
“I, um,” Ivy mumbles before clearing her throat. “I just want to thank you all for coming for me earlier, and I’m only sorry that because of me you both were brought into it with me.”
Jarrod makes a weird noise befo
re he leaves the room. Ivy’s eyes follow him before she returns her attention to us. She swallows and the sadness on her face makes my heart hurt for her.
“Ivy,” Gia snags her attention, “go after him.”
She turns her head toward Jarrod’s office, but doesn’t move.
“Please go after him,” Gia begs. “I know he was a dick by walking away, but I know him, and he’s upset that you were in harms way. He needs you, Ivy.”
She doesn’t stand a chance against Gia now.
Ivy turns her gaze on Gia, “I love him.”
Tears pop into my eyes as the heart-felt words leave her mouth.
“Then go and tell him,” Gia suggests. “Like now.”
Hunter chuckles. “Not every one moves full speed ahead as quickly as you, my dear wife.”
Gia prods him in the stomach, and movement from the corner of my eye drags my attention to Ivy who is slowly moving out of the room.
“We all need a good nights sleep,” Julian states.
I raise a brow. “Oh really?”
He grins and standing with me in his arms, carries me upstairs.
Over his shoulder, I watch Ivy take a deep breath, just before she enters Jarrod’s office.

Jarrod
As the office door slowly opens, I drop my ass to the edge of my desk, my knuckles turning white as my fingers curl tightly in frustration. I’ve been fighting against either shaking her or fucking her since she put herself in front of me when that fucking asshole, Abatangelo, held a gun on me.
I was furious that she’d do that, but now I’m slightly calmer, I realize that I screwed up. She’d needed my arms around her afterwards, and instead I’d been a jerk and left her to deal with the aftermath alone.
