The woman had the audacity to still be fondling Jacks as she was talking to Ryleigh and it didn’t look like she was being very gentle either. Served him right.
“Well, ma’am, that is why I was coming to see you. Dr. Paul came in on my therapy session with your mother and put a stop to it,” Ryleigh said. “He also said that he would be speaking to you about trying to speed up the process of your mother’s death. He insisted that I help him settle her in her room. Since you are my employer, as you have reminded me, I thought it was best to let you know what was going on and why I couldn’t perform my duties at this time. I would also like to point out that I agree with the doctor’s assessment. So, if there isn’t anything else my husband and I, should we retire for the day? As the doctor stated, my services will not be needed. Please let me know what the two of you decide my duties should be going forward.”
“Well, that shows how much you know, Amy,” Julianne hissed. “Paul isn’t even a real doctor, the meddling old fool. I will call my mother’s real doctor, and you will follow his instruction to the letter. Go to your room until I feel like dealing with you.”
With one last squeeze of Jacks family jewels she preened, “but, Jon, if you would like to still have lunch I could make the time.”
Just then, her phone rang. Looking down, she grimaced. Dismissing them, or just Ryleigh, with a wave of her hand she said, “I have to take this, maybe later, Jon.”
As they were walking out of the office, they both heard Julianne speak into the phone in a sickeningly sweet voice, “Todd, you have to do something about your father. He won’t let them do the physical therapy, and we only have three days left. Well, if I am not happy then you’re not going to be happy. Todd, get that old bastard under control. I did my part now you do yours. Fine, I will see you in twenty.”
Chapter 36
Ryleigh was fuming. She knew Jacks was only playing a part, but the fact that he let that woman touch what she was starting to think of as hers really pissed her off. Walking to the room that they were assigned to only seemed to fuel her fire. She was ready to lay into him, but he just kept walking, not saying anything and acting like everything was right in the world. Everything was not good in the world. That skanky Skeletor had her hands all over him and wanted more. Ryleigh had seen that look in her eyes. Julianna Franklin was used to getting everything she wanted, and it seemed Jacks was on her list. Ryleigh didn’t like it one bit.
Going through the door, Ryleigh was dying to break the silence and let Jacks have it with both barrels. She knew it wasn’t his fault, but damn, she needed to let go on someone. And she couldn’t exactly let that woman in on how she felt; it would only make the situation worse. Julianna would up her game, Ryleigh knew the type.
Once behind closed doors Jacks had her up against the wall, kissing her so deeply that Ryleigh’s brain malfunctioned. When he started kissing her neck, she was hoping things would progress much like they had the night before, but a wet blanket was thrown over her ramped up arousal instead.
Jacks stopped kissing her neck but whispered in her ear, “Baby, we haven’t had a chance to sweep the room, and from what I saw downstairs, they have both video and sound in here. The jammer will only work so far without bringing them to the door and hauling our asses out of here.”
Damn it. He was right’ the mission was priority. Ryleigh needed to keep her head in the game and not on what Jacks was doing to her. She just didn’t know if she could because Jacks had the ability to make her mind turn into mush. Her mind needed to be full on the mission. She was no longer sure how that was going to happen with Mrs. Franklin dying in front of their eyes and the plan needed to change and quick.
Jacks continued to kiss Ryleigh’s neck and shoulders. Moving her scrubs out of the way and reaching for the pendant on her necklace, he turned on the detection device. Thank you, Ethan. Ryleigh would be able to tell where the bugs were located in the room by the vibration against her skin. They just had to make it look good, and it seemed like Jacks was more than up for the job.
Allowing him to move her about the room, touching, kissing and fondling Ryleigh over her clothes was affecting her ability to concentrate on the vibrations and causing another type of wave to take over. She was so hot that she didn’t care who was watching or listening.
Jacks whispered in her ear again, “Come on, baby, tell me where they are.”
And, yep, she was snapped right back to reality again. Damn, the man affected her in ways she couldn’t even control. They continued their dance around the room for another few minutes with Ryleigh digging her fingers into his hair and pulling every time the vibrations started, and damned if the entire room wasn’t littered with them. There was no way in hell they would be having any type of conversation in the room without everyone in the house hearing or seeing.
The scrambler was out because of how closely they were being monitored. If all sound went to static, then security would be looking into why. Jacks had her so worked up that all Ryleigh wanted to do was fall to her knees and take him in her mouth or have him bury himself deep inside her. She had to put a stop to this. Ryleigh pushed away from Jacks.
“Jon, I think I am going to take a shower. It’s been an excruciatingly long day, and I just don’t feel right doing this in our employer’s home. You understand, right?”
Jacks looked as frustrated as she felt but then he surprised her once again and said, “Yeah take your shower, babe, but if you don’t start fulfilling your husband's needs then I am sure I can find someone that will.”
And then the asshole winked. Fuck, game on.
“Well, Jon,” she stated, while beginning to take off her clothes, knowing that Jacks didn’t want anyone else to see her naked.
Ryleigh continued to strip her clothing off, making sure only glimpses of her body were showing before sauntering toward the bathroom, showing him her ass for the first time. This time, when she looked over her shoulder, his frustration turned to a look of pain and longing but then quickly changed to fury.
Ryleigh couldn’t help herself, “If that is what you want, but I thought you also liked a bit of meat with your meals.”
The bathroom wasn’t much better than the bedroom. It had been wired, except the shower. But that was only because she was able to throw her clothes on the camera positioned towards it. Damn, these people were extremely paranoid or extremely perverted; wanting to watch someone go to the bathroom was beyond gross. There were just some things that were meant to be private and going to the bathroom was definitely one of them.
Ryleigh heard the door open and the sound of music filled the room. Then, there was Jacks in all his naked glory, coming into the shower stall with her. Damn, the man was beyond gorgeous. Grabbing her arm, he turned Ryleigh to face him abruptly, then took her in for a rough, deep kiss.
“I definitely like a little meat with my lunch, Baby, but if you ever show that ass to another man again, I am going to spank it until its bright red. Then, maybe you will listen to me when I tell you that no one but me is ever going to see you bare,” Jacks yelled in a whisper.
He then smacked her ass with a punishing sting, but when he grabbed the area, warmth spread through her body. Applying more pressure, he pulled her forward for another kiss, moving his hand to her thigh and lifting. Ryleigh was too short to achieve his goal, so he bent his knee and proceeded to lift her into his arms by her thighs, putting her hot aching core right on his heated cock. He started to move, pumping his hips lightly at first, never breaking the contact with her mouth. Every bump of his cock on her clit sent shivers up her spine. He was going to cum, and she was going to cum hard if he kept this up.
Damn, the man made her forget everything but him and what he was doing to her. Ryleigh was so caught up in the sensations he was creating that she hadn’t noticed his hands had moved to her ass. But once he feathered his touchdown the crack of my ass and plunged his finger into my pussy, I was gone the eruption was surreal. Ryleigh was starting to believe that Jacks
could make her come just by looking at her, and that sexy little smirk was right back on his face.
“Remember, baby, you belong to me,” Jacks asserted. “Your body already knows it; now it’s time for your brain to catch up.”
Damn, the cocky bastard was right. She did belong to him and in every possible way. But they had a job to do, and in order to succeed she needed to distance herself from all the warm and fuzzy thoughts. Otherwise, this mission was going to be shot to hell. It was time to get back to business.
“Jacks, everything is a wired for sight and sound, except the shower and that is only because I threw my clothes over the camera,” Ryleigh whispered. “They even have the toilet under video and sound. How gross is that? God, I hope I don’t have to go the bathroom all week; if we make it that long. What did you find out before Skeletor had her claws all over you?”
“What, are you jealous baby? You know I was just doing my job out there. If the bitch thinks she has a chance with me then she will let down her guard.”
“Yeah, I get it I don’t like it, but I get it. I think we are screwed though, because my job here just got put on hold. We are going to have to move up the download and try for the safe before Friday. I don’t think Mrs. Franklin is going to last the day, let alone the rest of the week.”
“From that phone call, we overheard we also need to have Bas and Wyatt figure out why the bitch wants her mother dead in three days, what happens in three days?” Jacks pondered. “Getting through until Friday is still our best option. From what you said, Mrs. Franklin is under doctor’s care, but Baby, if you don’t feel comfortable going any further with this mission I totally understand.”
“Shoot, there are things I can do, but Jacks, I don’t think any of it will matter. I need to talk to Dr. Paul more and make sure Mrs. Franklin is getting the best possible care. If he is on the up and up, then Mrs. Franklin is getting what she needs, but I think I can do a few things to keep Julianna off our trail. I can make it look like the TENs unit is working but really not emitting any shocks through the pads on her body. I can also do several message techniques that will increase her blood flow and eliminate some of the water her kidneys aren’t flushing. It’s only a temporary fix, but it will do more good than harm. That is, if Dr. Paul lets me anywhere near her again. I still don’t think it is right, but since she is getting care directly from a doctor, it’s not my place to question a person’s right to pass where they want. I just hope this is what Mrs. Franklin wants and not what her messed up daughter wants. I am going to try and talk with Dr. Paul some more, but I will pull the plug if I think things are getting out of control. I didn’t see a DNR in Mrs. Franklin’s chart; it’s just one of the many things I need to talk with Dr. Todd about.”
“We only need to get through until Friday unless we can come up with a way to do everything sooner,” Jacks assured. “It was easy enough for me to get around downstairs without anyone noticing, which I found odd, but I heard one of the security guys complaining about his paycheck. It seems that it bounced, and not for the first time. Davis Defense must be starting to lose interest in the Franklins now that the Doctor is gone.”
“That’s actually a good thing. Disgruntled employees have the tendency to slack. If we can figure out their routine, we might have a chance.”
“Yeah, I think our best course of action going forward is for me to string Julianne along. Baby, are you going to be okay with that?”
There was no way Ryleigh was going to let Jacks know how important he was becoming to her and how the thought of that woman having her hands on him made her imagine a hundred ways to maim the women. She didn’t want him leading Julianna on, but she had to take herself and her feelings out of the equation. She and Jacks had a job to do, and if she was right then, their mission was in serious jeopardy.
“I don’t know. I don’t like it, but I see why it’s the best possible plan. But Jacks, your clothes better stay on at all times. I wasn’t kidding either when I said I didn’t want anyone ogling your body either, it's mine and only mine.”
And with a swat to his rock-hard butt Ryleigh left the shower stall. This time, Jacks had a full on the grin on his face and a look that said she would definitely be paying for that little assault.
Chapter 37
The next couple of days were pretty uneventful. Dr. Paul wouldn’t leave Mrs. Franklin's side, to Ryleigh’s relief. She found out that he was indeed an MD, regardless of what Julianna had indicated. She also found out it was Mrs. Franklins wish to spend her final days at home and Ryleigh couldn’t find anything, besides Julianna insistence on PT, that was out of the ordinary or causing the old woman any harm.
She spent those days giving Mrs. Franklin therapeutic massage and talking with Dr. Paul. It seemed to be helping, or at least making Mrs. Franklin more comfortable, so Dr. Paul allowed her to continue working with the poor woman. During that time, Ryleigh got an earful about Julianne from Dr. Paul. To say he didn’t like her was an understatement. Ryleigh found out that Mrs. Franklin’s will had been very precise: if she died before her 86th birthday then all her money went to her daughter, but if she died after that then it would all go to charity. Why anyone would put themselves in that kind of danger was beyond Ryleigh, but then Dr. Paul let her in on another secret. Mrs. Franklin also had it in her will that if she died of anything other than natural causes before her birthday, the first person the police were to look at was her daughter, and Julianna was to be cut out completely.
Obviously, Mrs. Franklin was not a stupid woman and knew her daughter well. Ryleigh felt sorry for the old women. She was dying, but the one person that should have been by her side, easing her way, was the one that was trying to get rid of her. Maybe Mrs. Franklin had hoped for something else, but she also knew her daughter well, it seemed.
Julianne was her bitchy self during this time; coming into her mother’s room every hour or so to see if the woman was any closer to dying and stomping out when she didn’t see what she wanted. That didn’t stop her from pursuing Jacks like a bloodhound on the trail of a coon. The woman was relentless, always groping and touching, making lewd comments, and inviting him to eat with her. When that didn’t work, she started asking him to move stuff for her in her office. Jacks didn’t tell Ryleigh all of what the woman did when he went to “help” her, but every time she made her move he would get a cold look in his eyes. Ryleigh knew he was getting to his breaking point, and so was she. The woman pissed her off in a visceral way. She could only imagine how Jacks was feeling.
That night in the safety of the shower, Jacks said that they needed to do the download tonight. Julianne said that she and Todd were having dinner that evening.
He said, “If we do it now, we will get his data too. I think he is the brains behind all this. Because if Mrs. Franklin doesn’t pass tomorrow, all hell is going to break loose in this place. There are only three guys in security tonight, so we need to put on a show to distract them from the draw. The upload and subsequent downloads will create, and nothing distracts a guy more than porn. I pinged Bas and Wyatt to let them know to be ready. Once we start, they will have control over all the systems in the house for a short period. Are you okay with this? It’s going to have to look good, Ryleigh. These guys are not armatures. We need to make them think what they are seeing is real. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can do that without you exposing yourself, but if we keep it to a minimum, maybe only your back, I think I can control my bear.”
Ryleigh wanted to be in Jacks' arms again more than anything, but the thought of having an audience freaked her out more than she was willing to let on. She was not an experienced woman; far from it, and she was about to put on a show of a lifetime. Unfortunately, she didn’t think she could do this in an unattached fashion. She wanted Jacks, and she knew he wanted her too. Knowing Jacks would call this whole scene to a halt if she hesitated, she tried to reassure him.
“I can do it, Jacks, and don’t worry about me. Bas and Wyatt will erase any sight of me once
they have control of the system. The security guards will only be seeing real time. Wyatt and Bas will prevent them from recording anything.”
Knowing it was time to get this underway and help Jack control his bear Ryleigh stated, “I know you will keep me safe, your bear has nothing to worry about. My mind, body, and soul know whom they belong to. Just concentrate on me. No one else exists.”
Ryleigh initiated their kiss for the first time. Moving with him into the bedroom, keeping her chest plastered against Jacks, she continued to kiss him deeply. She knew she had him, or thought she had him. The chemistry between them was explosive, but his dominant nature wouldn’t allow her to lead; he took over too quickly.
Guiding her to the already turned down bed, Jacks stated “Come on, Baby, under the covers. I don’t want you to get a chill.”
Ryleigh almost laughed. The sentiment would have been sweet if she didn’t know what was really going on.
Pulling the sheet up over them, he started to kiss her again. Rolling over until he was laying in the “v” of her thighs his cock nestled oh so intimately when he began to kiss her neck. Ryleigh was lost in a sea of sensations. She had no idea her neck was such an erogenous zone, but apparently, Jacks was well aware of the fact. Following the same path as their night at the temporary base, his kisses and licks moved downward towards her breast, all the while keeping the sheet over them.
Ryleigh could only moan and gasp, much as before. Jacks had a magic mouth; the things that he was doing to her breast made her forget all thought of the guys in security watching. She was already close to cumming. When he took her taut nipple between his teeth, biting lightly then making it better with a little kiss to ease the delightful pain he created, her hips lifted off the bed. He moved down lower on her body, nipping and kissing his way to the place she needed him most, teasing and tempting her with his tongue, but never letting her cum. The man was diabolical in his seduction. When he started moving back up her body, Ryleigh wanted to whimper in frustration. She had never been so disappointed and turned on at the same time. She wanted Jacks between her legs bringing her to completion more than she wanted to take her next breath. Ryleigh was so frustrated that she couldn’t breathe. The man had left her hanging right on the edge of what she was sure was going to be the best orgasm of her life. What was he thinking?
