Assignment: Second Chances

by Honor James

  “Good point,” she said with a laugh. “Okay, then we will look and see if we can find it. How about we split up? I will take the front of the house and you take the back?” The condo was surprisingly large and had many places where Lee could hide things if he wanted to.

  “Sounds good. You take low, and I’ll do the high since you’re so short,” he told her with a smirk. “We’ll meet in the middle and then switch. When we’re both done if we haven’t found anything then we’ll tackle that massive movie collection he has out there together. Mainly because we’re going to have to keep it in order or he’ll know for sure we were snooping.”

  “True, I will make you go through the videos, however, because I hate clowns. I don’t even like to see them on video covers. At all.” Which was true. She hated to see clowns. They creeped her out in insane ways.

  “Go, I will see you in a few minutes.” She began to look right then.

  “See you in a few,” he told her with a laugh.

  They hadn’t found anything anywhere else in Lee’s place, so they were now facing the wall of DVDs. “Well, this sucks,” Nathan muttered. “Why couldn’t he just hide it in his sock drawer like every other guy in America?”

  “Because Lee isn’t like every other man in America. He’s a unique individual and you know it. He’s always been one of those men that’s had depths that no one really could ever get to. He’s always been like that though. It’s one of the things that I love so much about him.”

  “Damn, nothing like being reminded he’s all that and more.” He was grinning at her though. One thing she could say about Nathan Gordon was the man definitely had no issues thinking highly of himself. “That’s okay, gives me something to work up to. For the record though, I will still be my wondrous, amazing, and sexy self while striving to be more like ‘the man.’ Damn, that would be awesome if I managed it. Whatever would you do with yourself to have two of us like that around here?” Laughing, he pulled a case off the shelf, popped it open, and then closed it to put it back. “We need a system so we can keep these all in order. How about you pull them, I look, and then you swap it out for the next one?”

  “That sounds like a plan to me.” She was watching Nathan and reached out to touch her fingers to his cheek. “For the record, I think that you are pretty freaking amazing as well. I’ve known Lee longer, so my feelings for him have deep roots, but I do have a great deal of feelings for you as well. Ones that aren’t too dissimilar to what I feel for Lee.”

  “Good to know,” he said. Catching her hand, he pressed a kiss to her palm. “I adore you too, sweetheart.” Leaning in, he gave her a kiss lightly on her lips. “Start pulling the cases. He’s already been gone for three hours which means we’re running on fumes for time now.”

  “Right, okay good to know.” She squeezed his hand that caught hers and winked at him. “You just want to hurry and find the porn so that we can get naked. I do have to tell you however that you don’t have to have porn to get me naked for you. I would love to have you making love with me any time of the day.”

  “This is not only about getting you naked, Olivia. It’s now the principle of the matter. I can feel it. There is a porno in this condo somewhere, and I’m not leaving until I find it. On the plus side, if we find it, then that’s when we can get naked for some wild monkey love. So mind on task,” he said.

  “Yes, mind on task,” she said as she pulled case after case from the collection. She watched Nathan as he looked in the cases for the videos. “Principle of the whole thing, huh?” she asked with a smirk.

  “Absolutely. Proving I was right.” Throwing her a wink, he frowned at one of the disc cases, and pulled the disc out. “Sorry, false alarm. You’d think someone with his level of OCD would have put it in right side up. Very odd.” He passed it back to her but didn’t let go. Nathan was also still staring at the case in their hands before lifting his gaze to meet hers. “He wouldn’t put it in upside down. Not his style in the least.”

  “What are you saying?” she asked with a frown, her hand on the case as well as his. “Do you think that this is the porn that you are talking about?” It would be fabulous if they had found it already, would give them plenty of time to make love before Lee got home as well.

  “Dunno,” he said slowly. “But there’s only one way to know for sure. Pop open the player and we’ll throw it in. We’ll know right away if it is a movie or if it’s a porn. If it’s only a movie, I’ll have to remember to harass him about it later without telling him which one it was of course.”

  “Okay, but I’m not going to watch it in case it has one of those monster clowns in it.” She opened the player and popped the video in so that they could start the movie. When the video started, she had to snicker. She saw the shock on Nathan’s face when the movie began to play. “See, movie, not porn.” She then began to laugh in earnest. “Oh god, this is too funny.” She watched Nathan and said, “He knew that we would go through his DVDs and knew what you would find. Too funny. He got you, babe.”

  On screen Lee was shaking his head at them and telling them to stop messing with his shit. “Un-fucking-believable. When the hell did he have time to do this? We only discussed it yesterday, for the love of God. Fucking hell,” Nathan grumbled. He hit the pause button and then snickered at the unflattering image frozen on screen. “Little shit thinks he’s smarter than me, does he? Well I will get him back for this. I don’t know how, I don’t know when, but vengeance will be mine.”

  “You are too funny,” she said with a laugh. “What are you going to do, buy a bunch of porn and fill up the case with porn?” She teased him. “I have a feeling that Lee will be able to counter you without any issue at all,” she said with a smile.

  “Oh no, not doing that,” he said, shaking his head. “He’d expect me to do that. Nope, I have to think smarter than that. Plus the longer I take to come back at him, the more he’ll wonder when and what is coming. Anticipation will assist me when I finally come up with something stellar.” Turning off the TV, he popped the disc out and put it back into the case the same way it had been. “But now I can think on that instead of tearing this place apart. And get you naked if you’re interested.”

  “Oh I’m very interested,” she told him with a grin. She pulled back from him and began to strip. “You just tell me what you want?” She allowed her shirt to drop and then her bra. She reached up and put her hands on her breasts and pinched at her nipples. “Do you like this?”

  “I’m definitely liking this,” he told her. Easing back onto the sofa, he sat back, his legs spread slightly.

  “Aren’t you going to get naked as well?” she asked and pulled her pants down, stepping out of them as well as her panties. “Come on, handsome man, naked? Please?”

  Leaning forward, he tugged his shirt off over his head. Then he stood and got rid of his jeans. Like Lee, he went commando and was naked as soon as he kicked them aside. Settling back down he assumed the same position, and waved a hand her direction. “Touch yourself, Olivia.”

  Olivia did. She kept her eyes on him as she stroked her fingers over her nipples and then down her stomach and chest. She let her fingers slide over her mound and down to her labia where she rubbed. Stepping between Nathan’s legs, she watched him watching her. “Like this?” she asked and stroked her thumb over her clit with a sigh of pleasure.

  “Exactly like that. But you should sit down, maybe on the coffee table. You can throw your legs up over mine so you are nice and open to my view. You can even lean or lie back if you want to.”

  “Oh that’s a very good idea,” she said with a smile and sat down on the table. She settled onto the table with her legs up and over his. Her fingers once again began to stroke over her body and she watched him while she did. Her fingers dipped into her pussy and she stroked herself as she did so.

  Nathan wrapped a hand around his cock and stroked it in time to the movements of her hand. He was watching her fingers intently, his focus abs
olute. “Push them in deeper,” he said softly, his voice deeper than before.

  She did just that, pushing her fingers deep and allowing her thumb to brush over her clit. “God that’s hot.” She watched him as he stroked his cock with his hand. She wanted to taste him as well. “I want to suck your cock, I want to taste you and feel you sliding down my throat.” She was being far more vocal than she had been before, but it felt right to do so right now.

  Taking a pillow off the sofa next to him, he dropped it down between their legs to the floor. “Have at it,” he told her. “But don’t stop touching yourself. I want you to come with me,” he said.

  “Yes.” She was still trying to learn Nathan’s cues, and one thing she had picked up on was that he wasn’t as Dominant at times as Lee was, which only turned her on more. She shifted so that she was kneeling before him, now on the floor with her knees on the pillow and her fingers working in and out of her pussy. She placed her other hand on his cock and without any further hesitation, took him into her mouth and began to move up and down on his shaft.

  He gathered up her hair and held it in one hand as she sucked him in deep. “Holy shit, Olivia.” He jerked under her when she took him deep into her throat and swallowed. “That is one hell of a talent you have,” he got out in a choked tone.

  She just grinned, her talent, as he called it, was all due to Lee and his teachings. Once again she took him deep into her throat and sucked him hard. She then pulled back from him and looked up at him. “Will you tell me when we can come?” she asked quietly before she started back on him once more.

  “As soon as I spill down your throat you can come, and come hard.” His look told her he knew all about what she’d meant by her question. Obviously he’d been paying attention to the cues Lee had been giving her, and she to Lee. It was easy to see that Lee was dominant in the bedroom, and Olivia had been with Lee a long time prior to their separation. They’d obviously worked together to find a way that worked for them both, and Nathan was more than observant enough to pick it all up.

  She was happy to oblige. She was determined to give him as much pleasure as he was giving her by allowing her to pleasure herself at the same time that she was giving him pleasure. It was perfect in her mind. She let the hand that had been on his cock move to his balls. She began to stroke his balls while sucking his cock as she pushed her fingers in and out of her pussy at a rapid pace.

  His hand jerked in her hair, and his balls tightened when she gave a small hum of sound. Nathan let his head fall back onto the couch, and began to rock his hips to meet her mouth. If she was reading him right, he was getting close to the edge.

  Olivia worked his cock, she needed to come but she couldn’t until he did as well. Her fingers rode her pussy hard just as her mouth moved up and down on his cock. She began to suck, determined to make him come now. When his hands tightened in her hair, she smiled and moaned, the vibrations moving up and down his cock.

  “Fuck!” His shout was the prelude to him pushing deeper into her mouth. At which point she felt his cock jerk slightly, and then he spilled down her throat with a low moan. A shudder rippled through his body before he collapsed back down on the sofa.

  Olivia had come right along with him, her fingers pushed deep into her pussy as she drank him down. When she fell back on her heels, she licked her lips and smirked. “God, you tasted amazing,” she whispered and pulled her fingers from her pussy. Bracing her hands on his thighs, she simply watched him.

  Reaching down, he pulled on her hand lightly to drag her up into his lap. He put her fingers in his mouth to suck and lick them clean as he watched her. “You taste so damn good,” he said in a scratchy voice. “If I lay down will you let me lick your sweet little pussy until you come on my lips?”

  “Yes.” She couldn’t believe that she would get that chance, to have him taking her like that. “Will you let me taste you as well? Let me put my mouth on you while you are working on my pussy? Or will you slide your cock into me after I come?”

  “I’ll do whatever you want, Olivia,” he said with a smile. He pulled her close to kiss her slowly, gently, his hands stroking over her skin. Drawing back, he looked up at her. “But you should grab a condom first before we start this. There should be one in my pocket.”

  She kissed him back and then when they parted, she nodded. She grabbed the condom and passed it to him. “I loved making love with you last night, just so you know.” He had been inside of her. They had Lee with them as well but she had made love to both men. “Now, lie back and let me climb up onto you so that you can start to work my pussy and make me come?”

  “Bossy woman,” he said with a grin. He slid down to lay on the sofa and held his hands out to her to help her climb up over him. Nathan set the condom down by his side and then grabbed her ass to pull her down over his mouth. Blowing a breath out, he then licked along her folds slowly.

  Olivia didn’t move for many minutes, she instead began to ride Nathan’s face, her hand on the couch to keep her balance as she moved. Liv threw her head back and moaned while riding his face. “Holy Christ, you are talented,” she cried out. “That feels so good,” she told him and rocked hard on him.

  Suddenly there was a vicious pain that seared her chest and the next thing she knew she was off of Nathan’s face and fell back, the table and her head connecting hard. For a second she thought she had heard a crack of a sound, heard a shout, and then there was darkness.

  Chapter Eleven

  Rolling off the sofa, Gordon checked for a pulse automatically and let out a breath. A quick look over the top of the sofa showed him where the bullet had come through the window before he ducked down out of sight again. “Fucking hell, Jacobs is going to kick my ass,” he muttered.

  With a hard shove, he pushed the coffee table out of the way and grabbed his jeans. Digging through the pockets, quickly he found his phone and putting it on speaker he dialed the man in question.

  “What’s wrong?”

  Blinking at that, Gordon frowned. “Why do you automatically assume something is wrong?” Everything was wrong, very wrong, but still it was the principle of things.

  “You have Olivia alone in my place, which means she’s either decided to redecorate it or something is horribly wrong.”

  “Shit,” he grumbled. “She’s been shot. Through and through. Non-life threatening from what I can tell. She hit her head on the way down on the coffee table and knocked herself out. I don’t know if the shooter is still out there.” Grabbing his t-shirt, he tore it in half and pressed a piece to the entry and exit wound in her shoulder. He snagged her shirt, tore it into strips, and used it to hold on the piece of his shirt.

  “Fucking hell.” The line went silent for a time but Gordon knew Jacobs was still there.

  Patting her face gently, he called her name. “Come on, Olivia, open up those gorgeous eyes of yours, sweetheart. You still have to tell me what the S stands for in Jacobs’s name. You are not getting out of this babe. Open your eyes, Olivia,” he said in a firmer tone.

  “Yes, Sir,” she whispered and slowly opened her eyes. “No shouting at me, please.” Her eyes slowly opened and he could see the pain there. “Not telling you what the S stands for however.” Her eyes closed again which caused him a small bit of panic, but then she opened her eyes again. “Go, go and find who did this. Don’t let them hurt you too, please?”

  “I am not leaving you alone,” he said. He did shift around to drag his jeans on his legs. Catching her trying to push herself up, he eased her down to the floor. “Don’t you fucking move, Olivia. You’ve been shot, you have a concussion, and the shooter might still be out there. Keep your eyes open and don’t move an inch.”

  “She’s awake?” Jacob’s voice suddenly said in his ear.

  “Yeah, she’s back with us again. Groggy, bossy, but definitely aware of things once more. Here, talk to Lee,” he said, handing over the phone to her. While she talked, he moved along the floor to grab her pants and underwear. He’d hav
e to make a run for the bedroom for a shirt for her, because he wasn’t letting anyone get a look at her gorgeous breasts in her current condition. He’d fucking have to kill that individual.

  “Lee.” Her voice was shaky and pain-riddled. “Are you coming home soon, please?” She closed her eyes again, which had Nathan moving back to her side to touch her cheeks again. “I don’t think that I like being shot very much and I’m so going to make Nathan wait on me hand and foot while I’m healing, but why does my head hurt?” She was confused, Nathan could see that and hear it in her voice as well.

  “You hit your head on the coffee table,” Gordon told her quietly. “Babe, I need you to keep talking to Jacobs. I have to make a run to the bedroom for a shirt for us both, and a damn gun. You keep talking to him, and you stay awake. Put him on speaker so you don’t have to hold the phone to your ear if you want. Plus he’ll be able to hear me, and I can hear him then too.” Stroking a finger down her cheek, he leaned in to kiss her. “I won’t be long, promise.”

  “Okay.” She couldn’t put the phone on speaker so he did it for her. He could hear her talking to Jacobs as he raced toward the bedroom. He could hear her then saying, “No, you are not allowed to shoot him. I mean it. Lee, seriously? You are too silly. No, I’m good, but I hurt. So badly. I really want a hospital, I think. Please?”

  Coming back into the room, he heard Jacobs talking to her softly. “We’ll get you to one as soon as we can. The EMTs are on the way, Vi. So are the cops to ensure no one else gets shot.”

  “Well there haven’t been any more potshots,” he muttered as he eased back next to her. “Hi,” he said with a smile. “I brought you a shirt to put on. It’s a tank top so they can work on you without getting a load of your lovely assets.”
