“I’ll show you just how many orgasms I can wring out of you tonight.”
“Does that mean I get to return the favor?” she asks while we pick up what we need to head out the door.
“Fuck yes, you do.” I pat Legend’s head, then we both head out the door. I need to get Easton out here and fast. I know he pulled away from Nighthawk to create his own business, but sometimes it’s nice to have his set of eyes to see what needs to be placed where.
I lock Kellie’s front door before guiding her out to her car. “I’ll be right behind you. See you at work, sunshine.” I kiss her forehead knowing if I don’t get in my own vehicle, neither one of us will make it.
“I’ll see you there.” She kisses my chest, right on top of my heart, something I’ve noticed she’s done since we solidified our relationship. I nod waiting for her to slide in and start her car before heading to my vehicle. This woman has my heart. Fuck, if I’m being honest, she owns every damn piece of me.

This has been the slowest day at work ever. Finally, after an hour of literally twiddling my thumbs, I stand up and see what the guys’ offices look like and if I can tidy them up. If there’s nothing left for me to do, I’ll text Taylor and Raelynn. Maybe we can meet here for lunch or something. I swear we haven’t been this slow in forever.
The ringing of my desk phone stops me from standing up. “Nighthawk Security, how may I help you?” I answer the phone, waiting to hear who’s on the other end, praying it’s something work related yet having that eerie feeling in the pit of my stomach all the same.
“Hello,” I say after not hearing anyone answer. The heavy breathing and grunting on the other end of the line lets me know someone’s there; they just aren’t answering. I keep trying to get the person to respond while texting Bridger to come up to the front.
“Is anyone there?” I ask to hopefully get someone to answer. This has Liam written all over it. Bridger makes an appearance along with Drake.
“I can’t hear you. Can you tell me how I can help you?” I point at the phone, cluing them in.
Drake mouths to put the phone on speaker. I do that, trying to make sure I’m as quiet as I can be while doing what he asks.
The heavy breathing doesn’t stop, and now the moaning is picking up. There’s no way someone is doing that on the other end. No freaking way.
“Hello?” I say again, and that’s when the person on the other end hangs up.
I place the phone back in its cradle and turn to Bridger, who’s standing with his hands placed on his hips, fuming fucking mad, and Drake, who looks like he’s about to lunge through my phone he’s staring at.
“I guess we’ll be monitoring and recording all phone calls from this moment on,” Drake grouses.
“No shit. That vile piece of shit.” Bridger is pissed, and I don’t think I’ve seen him this upset, well, ever.
“Maybe it wasn’t Liam?” I throw out there, trying to calm the raging storm that’s building inside him.
“And the Pope isn’t catholic,” Drake interjects. I side-eye him, letting him know he isn’t freaking helping.
“Come on, we’re calling it quits today. There’s nothing going on. We may as well pick up Legend and head to my place,” Bridger states, not even allowing me to answer. Something tells me he needs me to follow his lead this time around.
“Sure, I was already going to see if the offices needed to be cleaned, and if not, see about leaving early anyway.” I start logging out of my computer, switch the phone to my cell phone like I do for the weekends, not that I expect it to ring very much, and grab my purse.
“Let me go do the same. Drake, watch the front. I’ll go grab your bags out of the car. I don’t trust that piece of shit as far as I can spit.” His voice is full of anger, not that I can blame him.
“He’s pissed. Easton can’t make it. Cam’s pregnant. He’s happy for them, but Bridger wanted his eyes, and this puts a kink in things. Slade and I will be over probably, as well as Travis, sometime this afternoon to work on his security system, then we’ll use the company for your place.”
“Have Slade bring Taylor and Travis bring Raelynn. I’m going to have him grill, and us girls can make the sides. He’ll be calmed down by the time you all head over,” I tell him, knowing just what I’m going to do when we get to Bridger’s place.
“If you say so.” He shrugs and literally watches me until Bridger is back up front.
“Ready?” he asks.
“Yeah, Legend is going to be so excited. Plus, your place has more grass than mine. He won’t wander too far off, will he?”
“Nah, it’s all fenced in. He can go off and come in when he’s ready. He’ll be happy and safe, I promise.” Bridger wraps his hand around my waist, waving goodbye to Drake, and ushers me out to his vehicle. I swear Nighthawk Security must be code for oversized SUV with its black color, black rims, and black window tint. If they wanted to blend in, they missed their mark.
“Just how are you going to calm me down, sunshine?” Bridger asks once we’re both ensconced in the vehicle.
“Oh, you’ll just have to wait and see. I have a whole bag of tricks up my sleeve.” Really, I have no idea, but I’m thinking me bare and naked in his bed will do the trick. This time, I’ll be the one on top. He just doesn’t know it yet.
“I’m sure you do.” Bridger has one hand on the steering wheel. His arm is flexed, showing off his firm muscles even if he really isn’t putting on a show, but seeing how at ease he is behind the wheel is yet another turn-on. I’m thinking I’ll need to walk around with a fan for between my legs with how much heat he pours off his body.
I fan my face all the while it only causes Bridger to smile, which only intensifies the need I have for him. “It’s going to be a long car ride home,” I whisper to myself. Knowing my luck, he heard me. So, I sit back in my seat and think about something else until we get to my place.

We scooped up Legend on our way to my place. He made himself at home in the back of my Tahoe. I was worried he’d pace back and forth in the back, but he shocked me by lying down right away.
“I forgot how beautiful your place was. It’s been awhile since I’ve been out here,” Kellie says. I saw the desire written on her face earlier, and it only made me want her more.
“Thanks, there’ve been a few changes since you’ve been here last. The kitchen is finally upgraded, and the bathrooms are done too. I think next year, I’ll add a hot tub to the in-ground pool. Did you bring your bathing suit?” I ask Kellie, already thinking about her in the backyard floating around in the water in nothing but a bikini. Not having a lot of neighbors could work to my advantage. If the cards are stacked in my favor, I could probably have her naked, which causes a whole other slew of ideas playing on repeat in my mind.
“I can’t wait to see. Of course I brought my bathing suit. There’s no way I’m not enjoying the pool in some way, shape, or form. I figure since Easton isn’t heading here, we’ll be staying at your place more than mine. So, while you scooped up Legend, I packed enough for a couple of weeks.” This is not the woman who was scared and out of her mind Friday when she got the paperwork stating Liam was released early. If anything, she’s regrouped and has come back stronger than ever. I’d like to think I had something to do with that, even though I know I sure as hell didn’t.
