Brian’s POV

I still couldn’t believe what just happened, I mean, I thought Christ had a look in everything?! I thought this was planned through and what happened!? We fucking ran into a friend of Emery and Jolie?!

A fucking noisy as hell friend!

“I took care of it and she won’t tell anyone,” Emery looked at me with pleading eyes. “And-and I-I’m sorry,” She continued while I heard her heavy breathing when she was trying to keep up with me.
Or was this some kind of plan?
Would their guards be around here soon?
Would the area be swarmed in no time, had someone known this?

I scoffed and shook my head “You better hurry the hell up because now we only have forty-five minutes and that’s with dinner. Keep your head down and get your ass moving,” I instructed her without really looking at her. I was pissed off as hell, Christ would pay for this slip, he should have known that the girls went to this area before. “The next person that stops us is a dead man…”

And I knew that Matt would have my balls for this incident, fucking hell!
If he heard that we ran into a friend of the girls he would freak the fuck out knowing how the situation went, he never was a friend of leaving witnesses behind, especially not in this fucking case.

They were way too precious to let anything risk the operation, especially some noisy outside friend, what if this girl was calling the Pagano’s right fucking now?!
And I was responsible for that, because I let Emery handle the situation, why in hell did I let her handle it anyway?!

I was the one making the decision not her, and I hoped when I pulled her away from the mall, into the restroom area, into one of the cabins, that the follower would fucking get the hint and leave us alone, but noooo what happened?

What the fuck had happened?!

She had even followed us all the way to the cabin and that I was even before extremely annoyed and frustrated was pretty clear but that she not only caught up with us but also interrupted us yet again, was adding to the foul mood I was having!

I was this close again to seal the deal, I was this fucking close!
What in the universe was against me, huh!?

I looked up the ceiling of the mall frustrated when I felt a hand on my arm stopping me “Brian…”
Em’s voice made me look down and I narrowed my eyes, what now?!
We had quickly grabbed some food and ate it while walking, we didn’t have much more time anyway, give that she still wasn’t done with all the shopping.

It was Em’s fault in the beginning, why was she looking so fucking hot and making me so horny?! Why wasn’t she like everybody else?!
So indeed it was her fault, I wanted her bad and the way she responded to me was making me known she wanted it to. She could fucking act all she wanted and try to convince me she didn’t but her body was talking a whole different language and responding to me just right.

I saw her breasts move up and down in a faster rhythm, her cheeks getting rosy, how she licked her lips when I came closer or how she inhaled when I pushed her into my body, how goosebumps were rising on her skin when I touched her or the shivers she tried to suppress.

I wasn’t a fool, I saw all that and I knew when we would finally have the time and I would fucking make her mine, we would be blown away by the affect of us together, she would be screaming my name from pure bliss and I would be in heaven.

I also knew that she liked it a little rough, she could be princess on the outside all she wanted, she was a sexy beast inside. She liked me holding on to her a little rougher, she probably liked all the kinky shit I did, but she would never admit… at least not to me, but I was planning to find out.

I mean after the first time it wouldn’t be enough that I knew already. I would have to discover more of her, more of what was hidden behind the feisty little princess image, more of what we had in common in the sack that was for sure and I knew when Emery would have tasted the pleasure I could grant her, she would definitely agree with me and want more!

“Brian!” Emery’s voice was more demanding now, and her tugging on my arm more urgent.
“What?!” I snapped, I hated when someone brought me away from my dreams, even though I knew this was not the place and time to have them.

We were in dangerous territory and just walked into a problem, so I better get a grip and follow through with the plan, just 30 more minutes and we would meet back up with Shads and the sister.
“I need to go in there” Emery pointed to a store and I lifted my eyebrow challengingly, a lingerie store, well that’s something for my taste.

“Well, go ahead” I pushed her forward, but always kept a tight grip on her hips, or arm, whatever I could reach.
“No” Emery stopped with me in front of the doors, just before entering.
“What no? You just said you need to go in there, so let’s go” I couldn’t wait to see Emery try on some fine lace bra’s some see-through panties and some-

“You wait outside, you can see me from here” Emery instructed and I gave her a laugh back.
“No way, princess. You pushed the boundaries too far today already. Go in there or we go to the meeting point right away, which means, no underwear for the princess” I smirked thinking of her being without any panties at all times, I could just slip my fingers-
“Brian!” Emery sounded frustrated and welcome to my world, she was making me ache since days or rather weeks, pushing me away, us getting interrupted, I was surely about to explode soon!

“Get in or go home without!” I snapped and instead of cringing away or flinching she narrowed her eyes on me cursed under her breath something about men being assholes and I rolled my eyes.
I quickly went up close behind her when she stopped at a stack of different bras and panties and looked over her shoulder.

“I like the black lace thing” I smirked when she turned around, her eyes wandering over my body from top to bottom and she shook her head “What was that supposed to mean?” I asked narrowing my eyes and this time she smirked but didn’t reply.

“Nothing” She grinned again and I was getting pissed off “What?” I turned her around and put my hands on her hips, I guided her against the next cupboard and she had nowhere to go, I pressed my hips to hers, she could feel my hunger for her, my need.

“You wear nothing but black, no wonder you would suggest that” She finally said giving in to me, and I did notice her voice getting huskier. I moved my hips in circles, making her moan out even if she tried to suppress it.

I leaned down to her and put my lips to her ears “I can make you feel so good, can give you so much pleasure, you will scream and moan, you will beg for more, you will only remember my touch and no one’s else, you will want more… and only I can give you what you crave” I pecked her lips and then even when it was hard, moved away, leaving her breathing heavy, her eyes full of lust and that’s exactly what I was feeling all the time.

I became aware of her the way you become aware of the electricity in the air before a summer-storm- slowly, insistently, magnetically.

Still I wandered around the store, my eyes always on Emery, she pulled different kind of underwear out and loaded what she wanted on the counter, I focused on this little black lace thing with halters and everything all the time.

I couldn’t stop imagining her in it, so I need to have it. I would make her wear it, she still owed me and once I had her where I wanted her, I knew she would give in to me too.

God, I got a boner only thinking of her wearing it. So I took it to my hands, making sure Emery wouldn’t see what I was doing. I checked the size and hoped to get it right, but I had my hands on her enough to guess the right size so no worries there, I quickly slipped it underneath the pile of clothes.

My alarm started to beep and I knew I only got 5 minutes left before we would meet with Shads in the department store.

“Em!” I called and saw her swirling around, she had a confused expression on her face and I waved her over to me.
“That’s it we need to keep going” I took her hand in mine, and pulled her close, we went to the cash register and the woman began to scan the clothes and put them into a bag, she was pretty quick so I guessed Em didn’t even notice that I slipped something inside.

I quickly paid and put my arm around Em’s waist, “Did you think about the words I said?” I asked and Emery looked at me from the side, the little blush was gone now, her eyes back to normal but I would make sure she wouldn’t forget my words.

“Yeah I did” She said, her eyes wandering over me a again “You are pretty cocky and full of yourself, that’s what those words tell me” She answered and I lifted an eyebrow at her “No princess, I just know what I can do… and be confident about it, there is a difference in just claiming to be, or being… and wait till we are alone, I will show you what I got”

Emery and I stood in the department store, a lot of people were around but I couldn’t see Shads yet.
So I took the chance and moved even closer to Em, I leaned down again, my lips meeting her ear “You know you want it too, you wanted it in the club, you want it now… don’t even try to deny it, little princess…” I whispered and when I was about to pull back a voice suddenly screamed beside us,

“GET ON THE FLOOR! HE’S GOT A GUN!!!”

My body moved even before my brain really registered what was happening, but I was trained and knew what to do. I pushed Emery behind me and ducked us to the ground, this couldn’t be really happening, now we were also involved in a fucking robbery?

“Bbr-ian” Emerys voice was full of fear and I held her close to me, “Ssshhh, don’t make a noise” I let my eyes scan over the area and saw three man still standing, they were wearing masks, and the rest of the customers had hit the ground like us, at least two of the criminals had weapons as I could see.

Near the fitting room I saw Matt and Jolie “Where’s Jo?” Emery’s voice sounded brokenly behind me and I sighed “She is fine, see over there” I whispered back and saw how Matt pulled Jo close, he was shielding her while robbing closer to us.

The three men looked nervous and were pointing their weapons wildly around, they closed the shop doors, so no one could get in or out.
I looked around and saw an emergency exit behind us, still a few long feet away, but probably our only chance.

Jo and Matt were now next to us without being noticed. Matt was holding Jo close, she looked frightened but quickly moved to her sister, but I couldn’t concentrate on that now, Matt and I had to think of a plan!

“Gates, I’ll hide my gun underneath this rack” Matt said quietly pointing with his head in the direction “When they search us, you give yours away.”
I narrowed my eyes, I didn’t want to-
As if reading my thoughts Matt hissed, “Don’t argue”
That’s when I saw that two of the criminals were going around searching people now and getting wallets and jewelry from them.

“Ma-tt, they…” Jo stammered and her blue eyes were staring at the guy coming closer to us. I pulled Emery firmer against me and felt her quickened breathing.
Her heart must be pounding so fast, poor thing… I kind of wished to make it better, but had no chance right now.

Matt pulled his phone out and nodded at me, I knew he meant he sent a message to Jimmy, so the next move for both of us was getting rid of all the numbers and information on our phone as well as the cards inside, making sure that way that no one knew we had been here or who these phones belonged to in the first place.

The situation was not only dangerous cause we were in the middle of a robbery with armed and crazy men, no we also had the problem that when the police or the Pagano’s became wind of this, we were pretty much fucked, being here with the missing daughters of Danny Pagano.

We had to risk everything and get out of here, before the police showed up or before this little scene here escalated, but how?!

“Look what we have here” A guy stepped towards us, he had a bag in his hand “Phones and wallets inside” He demanded from me and Matt. I pulled my phone out and let the shut down device fall into his bag as did Matt.

“Wallet” He shook the bag to make us act faster and I rolled my eyes. He pointed the gun at me and then at Matt when we didn’t react fast enough to his liking, which I didn’t give a fuck about but I felt Emery’s nails dig into my skin from fear.

A whimper escaped Jo and I saw Matt giving her a reassuring smile. Matt’s and my wallets were empty except for the rest of cash we had in them, no license, no identity cards, so we let the wallets drop into the bag.

“Jay! Check these two for weapons! I’ll check what the ladies have” He yelled and I felt Emery’s hands grabbing me even tighter.
“Nothing will happen to you, I promise” I told her in a serious voice, no one was touching her, she was mine!

Another guy came walking over and he motioned for me and Matt to stand up, we were at least one head taller than these guys but he pointed a gun at me, so I didn’t dare act right now, Emery was still in the danger zone of getting hit, so I wouldn’t take the chances.

“Turn around” The new guy said and I did as commanded, Emery now facing me.
“Don’t worry” I told her and her blue eyes were full of fear and uncertainty, and I didn’t like to see them like that, and these assholes were responsible!

“You and you! Get over here!” The guy with the bag demanded and I saw him pointing at Jo and Emery, “Fuck no!” I said and put a firm grip on Em’s arm, she wouldn’t be leaving my side.
I saw Matt pulling Jo away as well and the guy lifted his eyebrows at us “Wanna play the hero, huh?”

He moved forward and put a gun to Jo’s head, her eyes widened and she looked at her sister than at Matt pleadingly.

“We are coming, please don’t…” Em stepped away from me pulling her arm out of my grip and when I wanted to move behind her I earned a punch to the stomach.
“Fucking prick” I cursed rubbing the hit spot, well at least not my shoulder.

“Don’t touch her, or you will regret it” Matt’s deadly voice sounded, he was held back by the other guy beside me and I saw him eyeing every move of Jo and the guy pointing the gun at her.
“So possessive much are they, huh? You should learn to share” The guy said “This will go real quick, wallet and phone and jewelry in this bag” He instructed and both Emery and Jo shook their heads.

I closed my eyes cursing, he would never believe they didn’t have any money, fuck… This situation was getting even worse.
“He got a gun and a knife” The guy who searched me found the gun in the back of my pants and the knife in my pocket.

“Down on your knees, back to me” He instructed when he was done and I did as commanded, for now.
Next they searched Matt, finding no weapon of course, but also a knife and a little more cash, as well as the car keys.

I looked at Matt and he nodded as if to say, it’s okay, but how could it be okay?
If they got the keys, we got a problem, a big fucking problem!
A shot rang through the air and I saw Emery and Jo flinch and then hugging each other.

I didn’t like the way Emery and Jolie were standing there exposed before this guy, they had way too much fun in scaring them. He put his gun from Jolie to Emery and back, motioning for them to go from there to here, just to scare them and have fun with it.

“Leave them the fuck alone” I yelled from my crouched position and the guy directing them shot me a teasing smile as if he wanted me to act out so he could have more fun with them.

Em’s eyes met mine and she gave me the hint of a nod as if to reassure me, while Jo seemed to be completely freaked out, just holding on to her sister, but her eyes were still at Matt.

I gave Em a small nod back, that was my girl, trying to maintain the upper hand in this situation, my feisty little princess.

“I SAID TO OPEN THE FUCKING CASH REGISTER!” A yell sounded and another shot.

My eyes snapped back over to Matt and I mouthed ‘We need to get out of here, asap’

Jo’s POV

“You are my responsibility and you will listen to what I tell you to do”

Thanks for making that clear Matt, now I got what this was between us.
I was his responsibility, his burden… but I was still good enough to fuck, but that’s about it.

He acted all sweet and soft one moment towards me and then he was pushing everything including me away and playing the big boss and acted like I was just a thing, not even a person anymore.
I felt hurt even though I know I shouldn’t.

I shouldn’t have slept with him in the first place and shouldn’t have softened towards him. I shouldn’t have any emotions becoming involved towards him, but how could I not with the way he had acted.
He was so sweet, I shared his bed and told him secrets, he listened and he cared, this couldn’t be all a trick, could it?!

I should see it like it was, he was doing a job, I was his… paycheck and that was it. We had a hot night, but that’s about it. Everything else was just a game to make me play along, he wanted to fuck me, well I gave him that, even though it didn’t feel like just a random fuck…

Shit, I should have known better… but still.. It had been worth it, it was amazing, but wouldn’t happen again.
He had what he wanted and the story was over, he would be playing the big boss ignoring me, and I would be… well… apparently by his side but without having anything to say.

I really thought there was more to us, but how could I be so stupid in thinking that, he was the boss, the master of scheming, wasn’t he?
The great M. Shadows, fooled the little girl to think he liked her, made her think there was more, then he had her and threw her away again…

Good job, Jolie… Being naïve and stupid enough to interpret more into it, but then why did he make all this effort?
Why the touching, the smiles, the caring for me, why did he fucking told my ex-boyfriend he was my new boyfriend?!

He could have been easily telling Carter that he was one of my Dad’s new guards and that he should be out of sight or he would call my father and remove him, but no… He had to make the situation worse telling Carter he was my new boyfriend, when that was as far from the truth as it could get.

Carter thought I was a liar and I felt guilty, not that Carter and I would have been still together by now, even if my father approved of us, but… it was just a matter of right and wrong.
Too late to change anything now anyway, but then why had Matt reacted so weirdly?!

Even though I had to say it was still pretty cute how Matt told Carter not to talk to me like that, a small smile appeared on my lips but I let it disappear right away, probably another of his stupid games to catch me.

God, Jo wake up!

Maybe I should tell Matt, after he made everything so perfectly clear that I wanted Zack to be my guard, maybe he would at least not have this weird mood swings. We did have a connection, maybe we can built from that so it wouldn’t be so bad to spend time together?

“Look Jo,” Matt made me halt in front of the fitting room. “I’m sorry—“ He started and I lifted my eyebrows, he was about to apologize?!

“GET ON THE FLOOR! HE’S GOT A GUN!!!”

I had no idea what happened, but I was suddenly lying on the floor buried beneath Matt’s big body and he was looking around wildly.

My heart was pounding so fast that I thought it would have to stop any second, what was going on?!
Matt whispered in my ear to stay calm and that he would make sure nothing would happen, but honestly I couldn’t really register his words, fear was freezing me.

I don’t know how Matt managed but we were suddenly beside Emery and Gates. He had Emery pushed behind him in a protective manner and Matt did the same to me, he hid his gun and was talking to Gates.

I snapped my eyes over to Emery who looked pretty shocked but gave me a small nod, to sign she was alright.

I didn’t know what to think or do, I tried not to hyperventilate and draw more attention to us, but the guy seemed to have found a liking to us already, because he demanded to check Matt and Brian for any threats while Emery and I should step aside.

I looked to Matt, I knew fear was written all over my face and as much as I hated the fact he had treated me the way he had, I couldn’t help but want him to save me now.
Matt looked pretty pissed off when Emery and I were standing beside him and his eyes narrowed on the guy

“Don’t touch her, or you will regret it” Matt’s voice sounded so low and dangerous, I had never heard him talk like that before, it send a shiver down my spine and the guy with the gun just chuckled amused.

He was beginning to play a game, putting his gun from Emery to me and back, making us flinch away and him having great fun until he said, “This will go real quick, wallet and phone and jewelry in this bag”

“I-I don’t have any” I stuttered a little because the gun was pointed at me again.
“Where is your handbag then?” He said disbelieving and I saw Matt and Brian struggle against the hold of the guy behind them, but then he pointed the gun to the back of Matt’s head and the struggle ended.

Gun shots and screaming sounded through the air making me aware that more people were around and being in the same situation, another guy was trying to get the money from the woman behind the cash register and the other customers were lying on the floor.

“I would rather stay quiet” The masked guy hissed and Matt narrowed his eyes “They don’t have anything with them, they are with us, you already have our money and phones, even car keys, we don’t have anything else!” Matt growled back at him.

The guy with the bag set it aside stepping forward, he grabbed Emery and I stepped forward wanting to get between it, but he shook his head “I wouldn’t do that, my finger sits pretty lose on the trigger” He said and pushed me roughly away, I stumbled and fell hitting my head on the floor, I felt dizzy for a moment and then felt hands on my face, then seeing Matt’s face before me closely.

“Jo?!” He helped me sit up and touched the back of my head, sighing when his hand came up without any blood. “Shit, I thought.. I just saw you falling and tried to get a hold but was too late.. I’m sorry” Matt rambled on his deep voice sounding close to my ear.

I looked over to Emery and saw the guy touching her up and down, while Brian struggled even more against his hold “Don’t you dare to fucking touch her! If I get my hands on you-”
“Brian!” Matt hissed and Brian stilled but he narrowed his eyes, looking at Emery closely, he seemed pretty concerned, which I appreciated really.

“I will find a way to get us out of here, I have a plan… Trust me, Jo! I won’t let anyone hurt you, you will be fine… Nobody will touch you.” Matt said and pulled me even closer, his fingers traveled over my cheek, his eyes softening and I nodded finally.

“Nothing, both girls have fucking nothing, looking like rich bitches but having empty pockets” The guy with the bag cursed and finally moved over to the next people checking for money and belongings.

“Keep a special eye on those four!” He instructed the guy holding Brian, he nodded gave a shove to Brian and then took a step away but his eyes stayed on us and I knew that we probably wouldn’t get out of here so easily, so what was Matt planning? Did he just want to reassure me or was he really having a way out?!

“Are you hurt?” Emery’s voice sounded next to me and I shook my head, Matt was still holding me to his chest and Emery sighed.
“Matt, they got the keys! Even if we find a way out, we can’t fucking leave! What if the police is coming up? We are fucked!” Brian hissed and Matt nodded curtly.

“I send a text to Jimmy to pick us up, emergency code 120, he should know what to do. And the car is just leased under a fake name and paid in cash, no way anyone can follow that back to us, don’t worry…” Matt whispered back and then looked around.
“There is an emergency fire exit.” Matt discreetly motioned with his head towards the door about 15 feet behind us.

“I know” Brian nodded and Emery and I both looked there but Brian quickly pulled Em closer to him, his hand on her cheek, making her look at him “Don’t be too obvious about it, princess” Brian said and his voice sounded different when he was talking to her, his thumb caressing her cheek, did he even notice that?

“What’s the plan?” Brian hissed and Matt turned to look at the three guys, one was still at the register, one picking up the belonging and one beside us, watching everything.

“We need to wait for this guy to move to another direction, when he does that, we need to be ready. I will give you a sign, Brian. You will take the girls and what you can grab and head out of that door, not caring where I am, not turning around, you got me?!” Matt said and I shook my head, no… that’s not a good plan!

“You sure the door isn’t locked?” Brian asked as if the rest of the plan was nothing to worry about, but what about Matt?!

“Christ told me, the fire exits will always be open from the inside. I will distract them, I still have the gun hidden, but I am telling you, let nothing disturb you, just grab the girls and head out, I will… follow” Matt’s eyes locked on me and I shook my head at him, I didn’t like the way he said that.

Brian nodded because Matt’s voice didn’t let any option to disagree. He was back in boss mode and I had to admit, that was kinda hot, at least if he wasn’t pulling it on me outside of the bedroom and putting me back on my place, well… I must have hit my head pretty hard if I was thinking about that right now.

“Matt, you won’t stay back, right?” I whispered only for him to hear and he gave me a small smile “Are you worried?” He asked his eyes dancing with a little joy and I frowned, this was not funny.
“I-I… of course… I mean…” I didn’t know how to answer that.

I felt Matt’s hands on my skin, the shirt was exposing my belly, and Matt pulled it down, but not without letting his hands softly move over it, it was weird, he had pushed me away and now was doing something like this again, what was going on?!

And why did I feel so safe in his arms again, when I knew we were in this dangerous situation, when I knew he was planning something and risking his life… why was my heart beating so fast when I looked at him and then why was I having this weird flutter in my stomach when he smiled at me.

“Let’s move closer to the rack with your gun” Brian said and I almost forgot that he and Emery were sitting close to us.

“I can hear the police sirens” One of the masked men said and his voice was trembling lightly.
“We need to get out of here, quickly!” Brian hissed and Matt nodded “We need a distraction!”

“Jo?” Matt looked closely at me and I nodded while he helped me to get closer to the door and to the rack where his gun was hidden.
“You will follow your sister and Brian… We still have something to talk about when I am back, you heard me?” Matt asked and nearly had to chuckle.
“You want to finish your apology?” I asked and he gave me a wink “Maybe”

“Just do as I tell you, run out and as soon as you are out of the door grab you sister and find a place to hide, Brian will know what to do… and if Jimmy is there, get in his car, tell him to leave, no matter where Brian and I are, okay?” Matt looked deeply into my eyes and when I didn’t reply he looked up to Emery and Brian “Did you hear me?” He barked and Brian nodded “Yes, Shads.” Emery looked confused between Brian and Matt back and forth but nodded in the end.

A phone in the front of the shop rang and directed all attention towards that area, the criminals gathered around the phone, even though the one without the gun was still standing the closest to us.

I didn’t know what Matt really planned, but he put the safety hold off his gun and put his hand to my cheek and then his eyes darted over my head.

“Run” He said almost too quietly to hear and Brian took my hand and Emery’s, he pushed us to his sides in a crouching position.

I looked back at Matt and he held the gun towards the glass doors and I frowned, what did he plan?

“He will distract them, when you hear the glass breaking, we will start in a dead run, no turning back!” Brian hissed at me and Emery and that’s when I heard it-

The gun shot ringing in my ear, glass shattered loudly and all the pieces falling to the floor, screaming and yelling started…
Everyone seemed to be confused from where the shot came from, which gave us exactly the amount of time and distraction to run for our life’s.

Brian dragged me and Emery forward, he pushed us towards the door, he threw his weight against it and the door suddenly opened.

Another two gun shots rang and I heard someone moan, a fight broke loose behind us and I tried to look around to see if Matt was following us, but all I could see was him being in a fight and that’s when the door fell shut behind us and I had no idea if I would be seeing him ever again.
