Emery’s POV

My heart was thundering inside my chest as I held Jo and Brian close, my eardrums pounding from the racing blood surging through my body. I don’t think I had ever been this scared in my entire life, and I had no idea what to do. I was as helpless as a sitting duck, clinging to Brian as he talked to Shadows about some plan that I couldn’t hear. My heavy breathing and pounding ears in combination with Jo’s whimpering made it nearly impossible for me to hear anything and that scared me. What if we didn’t get out of this alive? Or worse, what if something happened to Jo? I desperately looked between Shadows and Brian with pleading eyes—they couldn’t let anything happen to us!

Only I didn’t have time to think about that because the next moment I saw the man with the gun headed our way. If it was possible, my heart started to pound even faster, making me feel like I was going to be sick. And what made me feel even worse was the sickly smirk that spread over his face when he saw us.

“Look what we have here,” a guy sneered, holding out a large sack. He licked his lips and eyed Jo and I before he nodded toward the bag. “Phones and wallets inside,” he demanded. And to my horror, when they didn’t move fast enough, he pointed his gun at Brian’s head. NO! He couldn’t do that! I dug my nails into his side in fear, trying to keep myself together.

“Jay! Check these two for weapons!” the guy called and I swallowed thickly. Shit, it they found the guys guns then we had no options out of this. How were we going to get away? I didn’t like were this was going and the next phrase the man spoke made my heart stop all together. “I’ll check what the ladies have.”

“No…” I muttered inaudibly, shaking my head and clinging to Brian. I didn’t want to go anywhere near that man, let alone have him touch me. That thought alone made my skin crawl and I looked at Brian with pleading eyes. He was the only one who could save me and he had to do something!

“Nothing will happen to you, I promise,” Brian assured me before he stood up in front of to follow the gunman’s orders.

“Turn around,” the second guy ordered and Brian turned around to face me. I instantly met those amazing brown and swallowed thickly, feeling some comfort in him standing next to me.

“Don’t worry,” Brian said with a small smile as he took my arm. I could see the anger in his eyes but somehow I knew that it wasn’t directed at me. Something was different about him now that I couldn’t put my finger on.

The next thing I knew the guy with the gun was arguing with Shadows and Brian about Jo and I moving over toward the man with the bag. But when he pressed the barrel to my sisters head, I knew I didn’t have a choice in the matter. I had to follow their demands so no one got hurt.

“No!” I gasped, trying to pull out of Brian’s strong grip. “We are coming, please don’t…” I begged, my voice shaking with fear. All I could see was the man that my father shot at point blank range in front of me, except it was Jo instead of one of father’s henchmen. I couldn’t let hat happen. No, I refused to let that happen and I would do whatever it took to keep her safe.

I gave Brian a pleading looking as I took Jo’s arm and slowly went were we were told, my heart racing a mile a minute. The guys still had the gun pressed to her head and I was terrified but I knew I had to act brave. These assholes weren’t going to get away with anything.

Behind me I heard the sound of a dampened punch and a grunt, and I cringed. “Fucking prick,” Brian cursed, doubled over in pain. No! What were they doing to him? Was he hurt? Things were going from bad to worse and I knew we had to get out of here. My mind began to race with a million emotions and thoughts but it was Shadow’s words that pulled me back.

“Don’t touch her, or you will regret it,” Shadows growled in a deadly tone behind us but I couldn’t turn around to look because now the gun was pointed on me. I flinched and closed my eyes, barely registering what was going on around me.

Breath Em, it’s just a gun and they wont get what they want if they shoot you. At least the gun wasn’t pointed at Jolie anymore. I opened my eyes and chanced a glance over at my sister to see her on the verge of hyperventilating. Come on Jo, just breathe, we will get through this. I reached down and grabbed her hand just as a shot echoed through the store. She shrieked and dove into my arms, holding onto me for dear life. Be strong, Emery, be strong, I told myself, fighting my racing heart and rising nausea.

“What’s the matter? You afraid of this old thing?” the guy taunted, clicking off the safety and pointing the gun back and forth between my sister and I. I flinched every time he placed the barrel of the revolver on my head but got more and more pissed off when he tormented Jo. Taunting me was one thing, but messing with my sister? That’s how you got on my bad side.

“Leave them the fuck alone,” Brian yelled, his eyes meeting mine fore the first time. He was kneeling on the ground with a gun pointed at the back of his head, but the look he gave me told me that he had a plan. I gave him a small nod as Jolie’s death grip tightened around me, letting him know that I was okay. Though I honestly didn’t know how much more of this we could take.

“This will go real quick, wallet and phone and jewelry in this bag,” the guy chuckled, watching Brain out of the corner of his eye with a smirk. Oh, this bastard was playing games with us now and that pissed me off.

“I-I don’t have any,” I heard Jo stutter; her voice telling me that she was on the verge of crying. And when I ripped my eyes away from Brian, I understood why—the gun was placed on her temple again. He better not fucking dare hurt her! I shakily squeezed her hand, hopefully giving her the strength to get through this.

The guy laughed as I narrowed my eyes at him. “Where is your handbag then?” What? He didn’t believe us? Look around buddy, the only thing we have are shopping bags.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Shadows and Brian struggling against the hold of the guys behind them, but when he put the barrel of the gun against Shadow’s head, the struggle ended.

“I SAID TO OPEN THE FUCKING CASH REGISTER!” A yell sounded followed another
shot. I pinched my eyes shut, and took in a shaking breath. I really hated guns and the sound of them firing terrified me. Somewhere in the distance through the pounding in my ears, I heard people screaming and crying, making me aware that we weren’t the only ones in this situation.

“I would rather stay quiet,” The masked guy hissed and Shadows narrowed his eyes. I was impressed with how much he was actually sticking up for us. Maybe he wasn’t the brute that I originally thought him to be.

“They don’t have anything with them. They are with us and you already have our money and phones, even car keys, we don’t have anything else!” He growled back at him.

Suddenly the man with the bag grabbed me men and pressed the gun to my head. I whimpered and closed my eyes only to hear him scold my sister. “I wouldn’t do that, my finger sits pretty lose on the trigger,” and with that he roughly pushed her to the floor.

“No!” I yelped and tried to move toward Jolie but the guy held me in place. Thankfully Shadows was by her side checking her over, but that didn’t make me feel much better. I still didn’t know if I could trust the guy. “Please!” I begged but the man just laughed, letting his hands roam over my body and lingering a little too long over my ass and breasts. “I suggest you shut up or else your pretty little friend will get it,” he hissed in my ear, his foul breath making my skin crawl.

I instantly looked over at Brian with a pleading expression, longing for him to save me. He couldn’t let his guy do this to me! “Don’t you dare to fucking touch her! If I get my hands on you-” Brian raged, struggling against his restraints.

“Brian!” Shadows hissed and Brian stilled but he narrowed his eyes and watched me closely. “I wont let him hurt you,” Brian mouthed at me and swallowed, nodding my head.

There was just something about the way that he watched me that intrigued me. Was he really worried about me or was he just trying to protect his paycheck? I wasn’t sure yet, but part of me wanted to find out. Though I had to admit, he was even sexier when he was trying to save me….

“Nothing, both girls have fucking nothing, looking like rich bitches but having empty pockets” The guy with the bag cursed and finally pushed me away into Brian. I wrapped my arms around him and pressed my head to his chest, my small frame shaking with the fear I had been trying to suppress.

“Shh… It’s okay, you’re safe,” Brian cooed in my ear, his arms wrapping around me as we settled on the floor. “Did he hurt you?” I shook my head against his chest, taking in a shaky breath, his aroma calming me down.

“No…but Jo!” I sprang up and quickly moved toward my sister. How could I have forgotten about my sister? She had a rough fall and I prayed that she hadn’t hurt her head. “Are you hurt?” I asked her, watching Shadows cradle her weak looking frame. To my relief she shook her head and I let out a sigh.

“Matt, they got the keys! Even if we find a way out, we can’t fucking leave! What if the police are coming? We’re fucked!” Brian hissed and Shadows nodded curtly. I hadn’t even thought of that! What would happened if the police found us here? Would they know we were Pagano’s missing daughters? What would they do to Brian and Shadows?

I shook my head and tried to focus on the plan that Shadows was talking about. I couldn’t afford to think about the ‘what ifs’ right now. We had to get out of here before someone got hurt, that was first and foremost. Then Jo and I could figure out our own escape plan.

“I sent 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…” the brute whispered back and then looked around. “There is an emergency fire exit.” He discreetly motioned with his head towards the door about 15 feet behind us.

“I know,” Brian nodded. I looked over my shoulder toward the door just before Brian pulled me into his side, his hand gently caressing my cheek so that I met his gaze. There was something different hiding in those brown orbs but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but I had to admit that I liked it. “Don’t be too obvious about it, princess,” he said as a shiver ran down my spine. What was going on with me?

After a moment he shook his head and looked away from my eyes—back to all business. “What’s the plan?”

“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?!” Shadows said and Brian reluctantly nodded his head. Wait so what was the bossy brute going to be doing?

“You sure the door isn’t locked?” Brian asked, and I frowned.

“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.” So Shadows was going to play hero to get the rest of us out of here? My brow furred at the thought. I never though the ruthless man I had heard so many awful stories about would be so selfless. Were the stories false? Was Shadows not such a bad guy after all?

I shook the thought away and looked over at Brian, trying to read the expression on his face. “Are you sure this is going to work?” I whispered, reaching out to touch his hand. The moment our skin touch, an electric shock exploded through my body, leaving me breathless. What the hell was that?

Brian looked at me with cocky smirk before he pulled me into his side. I felt safe and comfortable there but his words ruined the moment. “Of course it will work, Princess. You’re dealing with the best criminals in California,” he chuckled and I rolled my eyes. So I guess cocky ass was back after all. “This whole robbery is a joke if you ask me.” Now he was trying to pretend like this wasn’t a big deal? “If we did this we would have been in and out without anyone knowing, just look how I got you, Princess.” And there was that cocky smirk and I wanted to wipe it right off his face.

“Oh, you mean by getting shot?” Now it was my time to smirk.

Brian was suddenly an inch from my face and I sucked in a breath when I felt his hand draw me in. “And you still owe me, Princess,” he said, his warm breath sending goose bumps over my body. “Don’t forget what I can make you feel…how I can make you scream…” he purred and I couldn’t help but let a small moan escape my lips. Fuck! This wasn’t the time or place for his conversation!

Brian smirked and pulled away from me before all hell started to break loose around us. “We need to get out of here, quickly!” Brian hissed and Shadows nodded. “We need a distraction!”

Shadows quickly whispered a conversation with my very concerned looking sister before barked orders at us. “Did you hear me?” he asked, his eyes dark as he looked between Brian and I. Shit, I only heard bits and pieces over the commotion around me but I’m sure I would just follow Brian’s lead.

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. Suddenly Shadows took the safety off his gun and looked longingly at my sister. “Run,” he whispered before I even had time to process what I just witness between my sister and the brute.

“Let’s go,” Brian instructed, grabbing a handful of our bags and lead us toward he back door in a crouched position. “He will distract them, when you hear the glass breaking, we will start in a dead run, no turning back!”

The next thing I knew, a gunshot erupted through the air followed by the sound of shattering glass. My ears rang from the shot as Brian pushed Jolie and I out the emergency exit. The moment the door burst open, an alarm sounded and we were met by the California heat. “Run!” Brian yelled as two more shots rang out behind us.

I grabbed Jolie’s hand and took off in a dead run, Brian’s hand guiding us toward a large black van at the back of the parking lot. Jo kept looking back over her shoulder at the emergency exit, like she was waiting for someone to come out after us. Was she looking for Shadows? “Come on let’s go!” Brian urged, pushing us both forward.

By the time we reached the van, I was out of breath and beyond freaked out. I just couldn’t get over that were part of a robbery and that I had a gun pointed at my head multiple times today. I mean, the whole thing could have ended very differently but, thanks to Brian and Shadows, both Jolie and I were alive and unharmed.

“Inside, now,” Brian ordered as he threw open the side door of the van and push Jo and I into the back seats.

“Wahere’s Matt?” Jimmy asked, looking pale as we climbed inside, my chest heaving up and down. Matt? Who’s Matt?

“He’s still inside. Do a lap or two and if he’s not out in five minutes, we leave without him,” he ordered and swallowed thickly. So Matt was Shadows? And would he be coming back?

“No!” Jo cried as Brian slammed the door shut and pulled me into his side, looking me up and down. Was he check to see if I was hurt? “We can’t just leave him here! What if something happened to him?”

“He will find a way out,” Brian shot back, his eyes still dancing over my face as he brushed a lock of my hair behind my ear. What was he doing? “He always does, now drive, Rev!”

“I agree with Jo,” Jimmy said, pulling away from the curb. “You should go back in and help him out. We cant leave him here and it was luck that I followed you guys as a back up plan.”

Brian growled and ran his fingers though his spiky hair, his eyes leaving me for the first time. “We are following his orders and if you cant do it then, pull over and I’ll fucking drive.”

With a sigh, Jimmy drove around the parking lot as all three of us scanned the scene. Police cars and swat teams had arrived and were circling the place and I had no idea how he planned to get out of there without being seen. That is if he even made it out at all.

“Come on, Matt…” I heard Jo whispering over and over again in the back seat. She was twisting her little hands together nervously in her lap and I raised a brow. Now that was odd. Why was my sister so concerned about this guy? Was there more going on there that I didn’t know about?

“We can’t hang around here much longer,” Brian sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose and looking down at his watch. “We will draw too much attention if we do.”

“Just a little longer,” Jo begged and out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jimmy nod in agreement, his eyes meeting mine in the rearview mirror. “He’s coming, I know he is.”

Brian sighed and ran nervously ran his hands over his face. I could see the anxiety in his eyes and I knew what he must be going through. I felt the same thing when I didn’t know where Jo was back at the compound. It was awful not knowing where someone you loved was or even if they were okay. “She’s right,” I said, cautiously putting my hand on his leg. “He’s coming. He’ll be okay,” I whispered, still trying to calm down from the whole incident.

Brian turned to look at me with a raging intensity in his eyes. “I hope you’re right,” he breathed, setting his hand on top of mine. I bit down on my bottom lip and took a shaky breath as a surge of electricity coursed through my body. I gasped, my eyes darting over to him. Did he feel it too?

He smirked and licked his lips, looking down at me with a smirk. “And that’s only the beginning of what I can make you feel,” he purred in my ear. I swallowed thickly and closed my eyes, his hand now rubbing up and down my thigh. Instantly I felt high on his touch, a euphoric pleasure running through my veins. It was like every nerve ending in my body was firing a response when he touched me, making me feel like I was on some kind of drug. If Brian had this effect on me when I was fully clothed I had no idea what it would feel like to have our naked bodies pressed to each other in heated passion.

“And this is only the start,” he purred, leaning in to gently nibble my earlobe as his fingers grazed my breast through my shirt. Damn it, I was already dripping wet and we still had a long ride ahead of us. Come on, Em, get your head in the game and think of something else. You had a moment during the robbery but that is no reason to lose control completely. “Just imagine how safe and fulfilled I can make you feel…you know you want it. I know your want it. You’re body is screaming for me…”

“There he his!” Jimmy suddenly screamed, and the van made a sharp left, causing me to fall into Brian’s lap.

“Oh thank god!” Jo sighed but I was too busy trying to calm the monster Brian had awakened inside of me. Only this time, it was much hard to silence because he was right, my body was craving his touch. I didn’t know how much longer I could hold out.

“Get ready, Princess because it’s going to be a bumpy ride,” Brian whispered in my ear before he let me sit up again. “Tonight, you’re mine…”

Matt’s POV

“Matt, you won’t stay back, right?” Jo whispered, looking up at me with fear and concern in her eyes. Now this was something that I had never experienced before, and I had to admit that I liked it.

I smirked and leaned in a little closer to her, feeling a strange flutter in my stomach. “Are you worried?” I asked, feeling an excitement rise inside me that I had never felt before. What was that about? Okay, so maybe I really liked the idea of Jo being worried about me.

“I-I… of course… I mean…” she stammered as I pulled her shirt down, letting my hand run over her soft skin. I had been wrong before, she meant more to me than I originally thought. The only thing I could think about now was getting her out of here safely. She was more than a paycheck and it took me seeing her in danger to realize that.

I smiled down at Jo, and pulled her closer to me. Her sweet smell hit me like a brick wall and I closed my eyes and took in deep breath. This was exactly what I needed—something to remember her by in case my plan went down hill. Though my own fate didn’t seem to matter as much to me as Jo’s did. I just wanted her to be safe and out of harms way.



“Let’s move closer to the rack with your gun,” Brian said, pulling me from my thoughts and Jo’s stunning blue eyes. Damn I could just get lost in them for days.

“I can hear the police sirens,” One of the masked men said and his voice was trembling lightly. Shit, we really did need to get out of here. The last thing we needed was to show ID and answer question. We’d be shipped off to the slammer before we could even blink due to the number of warrants out for our arrests.

“We need to get out of here, quickly!” Brian hissed and I nodded. “We need a distraction!” I looked at Jo and I knew what I had to do.

“Jo?” I whispered as we moved toward the rack where my gun was hidden. I had to be firm so that she would follow directions and not do something stupid to put herself in danger. “You will follow your sister and Brian… We still have something to talk about when I am back, you hear me?” I asked and Jo smiled.

“You want to finish your apology?” She asked and I gave her a wink. “Maybe” I said, though that was only part of it. I knew exactly what I wanted now and I was pretty sure that she wanted it too.

“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?” I said, looking deeply into those deep blue pools before turning to Gates. “Did you hear me?” I barked, turning on the boss switch again. “Yes, Shads,” he sighed, knowing that he didn’t have any choice but to follow my orders.

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 removed the safety off my gun and nodded my head. It was nor or never. With one last look into Jolie’s eyes, I put my hand on her cheek and uttered the word “Run.”

Without looking back, I stood up and headed toward the big glass doors in the front of the store, aiming for the very top of the frame. I had one chance to make this shot and to guarantee the girl’s escape. “Here we go,” I smirked, and pulled the trigger.

The shot ripped through the air and the glass door shattered in a waterfall of glass falling down to the floor. Now that’s what I am fucking talking about! That’s the kind of shit that you see in the movies! Only I didn’t have too long to think about it because suddenly the guy with the bag of goodies came charging at me.

“You motherfucker!” the guy raged, charging at me as another shot rang through the air. We tumbled to the floor mid fight and the gun got knocked out of my hand.

“Get him! Get the gun!” someone yelled, and I threw punch after punch, not caring who I was hitting. I only had two goals in mind, get the gun and get back to Jolie. Those blue eyes were the only thing I could think about as I struggled against the robbers.

As I reached for the gun, I felt a hard kick to the side and a blow to the side of my face but that didn’t stop me. I had taken much worse before, and from my own men nonetheless. Hell, this was child’s play compared to rumbles we’d had with the Paganos.

“Back the fuck off!” I yelled, throwing a hard punch in guy’s face. He fell backwards because he was knocked out cold and I smirked. “You bastards messed with the wrong guys,” I said, grabbing the gun and putting it in my pocket just as the police burst through the back entrance. Shit, now it was really time to go. “Freeze! You’re surrounded!”

Without thinking twice, I grabbed the robber’s lute bag and Jo’s lingerie bag and ran out through the broken glass doors and into the main part of the mall. I raced down the long hallway through the crowd and out the side entrance. To my surprise no one even noticed my escape or followed me—this was too easy.

As I sprinted out the door, I immediately caught sight of one of our vans circling the parameter. Those assholes were supposed to leave but I was thankful that they didn’t. Now I didn’t have to take a fucking cab back to Huntington Beach.

“You made it!” Jo gushed, throwing her arms around me as soon as I climbed into the back seat. “Are you hurt? Oh no, what happened to your eye?” she asked, looking me up and down as Jimmy sped away.

“I’m fine, Jo, I promise,” I said, putting my hand on her cheek and looking directly into her eyes. I had never been so happy to see her again, especially when I didn’t know how this whole plan was going to turn out.

“Any problems?” Gates asked, interrupting my moment with Jo. I mentally cursed and turned toward him, putting my boss hat back on. Jo and I were in public and I had to remember that, especially around my men. There were rules we had to abide by, well at least out in the open. I had a different idea for behind closed doors.

I chuckled and tossed him the bag. “Are you kidding me? That was fucking child’s play compared to a real street brawl.” Jo looked at me with wide eyes and I discretely put my arm around her and pulled her into my side. “Plus, check this out,” I smirked and tossed Gates the bag of goodies. “Look what I got.”

“You sly dog,” Gates laughed, pulling out wallet after wallet and wads of cash. “What is it?” Jimmy asked, looking at us through the rearview mirror. “Nothing besides the lute from the fucking robbery,” Gates laughed. “You never cease to amaze me Shads.”

“You took all that stuff?” Jo whispered, looking at me incredulously. What? We were members of a gang after all. “What if someone has a tracking device in their cellphone?” Shit she was right.

“Fuck!” Brian hissed, pulling out all the phones and throwing them out the window on the threw way. “She’s right, get rid of that shit!” I yelled, watching both Gates and Emery search through the bag.

Twenty minutes later, everyone had calmed down and were quietly talking between themselves. It was starting to get dark outside and I took the opportunity to steal a more private moment with Jolie.

“Are you okay?” I whispered in her ear, letting my nose nudge it lightly. She felt so good in my arms and I didn’t want to let her go. I carefully let me hands run over her body, checking for any signs of injury.

Through the twilight, I could see the small blush on Jo’s face as she cuddled into me. “I’m fine…just-just a little shaken up is all,” she admitted and I could understand that. It had been a very trying day. “And…I was worried..”

I shot her a dimpled smile as my hands started to move up and down her sides. “Were you afraid that I wasn’t coming back?” I teased, letting my nose run up her neck as I spoke.

“I-I…” Jo opened and closed her mouth a few times but didn’t say anything. So she was still afraid to tell me how she felt? Well, I would have to change that.

“I think you were,” I continued, letting my hot breath tease her ear. I could feel the goosebumps rise on her flesh as I gently bit down on her earlobe. “And…I can tell you that I was worried about you too…” I said softly, being honest.

Jo turned to look at me with those big blue eyes. “Y-you were? W-why?” she stammered and smiled down lightly at her.

“Because the robbery made me realize something,” I whispered, liking the thrill of breaking my own rules right behind Gates’ back. Though he seemed too occupied with his conversation with Emery and Jimmy to even notice what I was up to.

“Wh-what’s that?”

“I realized that I want to be the only man that touches you…” I breathed in her ear. Jolie took in a sharp breath as I let my fingers move over her mound through her pants. “I want to be the one to keep you safe…to make sure you have everything you need…” I said, feeling her shiver under my touch. “I want you to be mine….what to do you say?” I asked softly, my eyes dancing with joy as I watched her, trying to gage her reaction. I wanted nothing more than to take her lips prisoner and kiss her senseless. It had been way too long since I last tasted her.

“Home sweet home!” Jimmy yelled just as Jo opened her mouth. “And that’s a wrap everyone!” he said and turned off the van. “So what’s the plan boss?” Jimmy was suddenly looking at me and I pulled away from Jo, mentally kicking myself.

“Hit the sack,” I said just as I felt Jo’s hand land on the growing bulge in my pants. “We will debrief in the morning,” I finished my tone getting huskier by the second. Damn she was a little tease!

“And what about the lute?” Gates asked. What was this twenty questions? The only thing I could think about right now was getting Jo back to my room.

“Put it in the safe and we’ll sort it in the morning,” I groaned, earning a raised brow from Gates. “Just do what I fucking said and go to bed!” I hissed, and as soon as he and Emery exited the van, I looked back at Jo. “What are you doing to me?” I groaned.

“I want to know the truth,” she said with a small smirk. The truth? The truth about what? “Do you really mean that or are you going to pull the boss card on me as soon as you have what you want?” she clarified, obviously reading the confused expression on my face.

“What are you talking about, Jo?” I asked.

“You are my responsibility and you will listen to what I tell you to do,” Jo said, mocking my voice as she looked at me with both questioning and lust filled eyes. Shit, I did say that didn’t I? No wonder she was pissed off at me half of the day. I was the worlds biggest ass.

“Jo…I didn’t mean that,” I sighed, cupping her face once we were out of the van. “I just meant…fuck I don’t know what I meant. All I know is that the robbery made me realize that there is more between us then I originally thought. Don’t you feel it too?” I asked her, searching her eyes.

“Y-yes…” she breathed and I couldn’t stop myself from hungrily pressing my lips to hers. She immediately opened up to me, allowing our tongues to dance in a heated battle for dominance. I pressed her back against the van and let my hands roam over her body, all the tension and pent of emotions from the day coming out in this one kiss. God she tasted so good and felt amazing in my arms. I had to have her.

“I want you, Jo,” I breathed against her lips as I pulled away. “I want you to be mine…secretly…the other’s can’t know.”

Jo slowly nodded her head and I pulled her back in for another kiss. Her hands instantly moved up under my shit and I couldn’t wait to have her any longer. She had teased me all day and thought of losing her today during the robbery had pushed me over the edge. “Come on…” I breathed, grabbing her shopping bags and her hand and heading into the house toward my room.

With one swift motion, I scooped her up into my arms and carried her across the bedroom threshold, kicking the door shut behind me. The room was pitch black but that didn’t matter. Our hands roamed each other’s body’s pulling off articles of clothing without missing a beat. I ground my hips against hers as we crashed into every object in the room.

"I want you so fucking bad, Jo," I breathed into her ear, my lips and teeth teasing her ear lobe. I had been an idiot to think that I didn’t have feeling for her. Hell, she was the only thing I had been able to think about since she got her. Jolie was special and I would be damned if I was going to let her go now that I had her. I would make her mine.

I pulled off her shirt and pants, massaging my hands down her newly exposed ribcage, causing her to moan against my mouth. Fuck she tasted so sweet right now, like something sweet and spicy and I fucking missed this. Even it had only been a few hours since we last kissed, it was too long.

Jolie rocker her hips against my strained erection as a growl escaped me. I was now only in my boxers and I stripped her completely naked. I propped myself up on one elbow and laid her back in the bed, sucking on those tender hardened nipples. Fuck she drove me wild and I couldn’t stand it.

“I want you…” Jolie said for the first time and I lost my head. That right there was the sexiest thing I had ever heard.

“You want me?” I growled, teasing her with the tip of my erection. I slowly rubbed my erection of her pussy, making her moan loudly.

“Please…” she begged, those stunning blue eyes looking up at in the darkness. I could only see them because of the little bit of light shining through the window.

“Say it!” I growled, slowly and agonizingly pushing myself into her. It was just as much of a tease for me as it was for her.

“Matt…please I want you so fucking bad.” I grabbed her hands and put them over top of her head and held them in place as I slammed into her deeply, making both of us moan.

“You like feeling my cock in your pussy, don’t you?” I growled. Jo turned her head and buried her face in the pillow, biting her bottom lip. I slid out and slammed into her again. “Answer me.”

“Y-yes…” she quavered in a shaky breath.

“What else do you want?” I asked, moving my lips down to suck her nipples as I slammed in and out of her a few more times. She looked like she was about ready to lose her mind and I loved that image.

“I want you deep inside of me,” she rasped, as I gripped her hips tightly. I pounded into her for a few moments before stopping. Jo let out a cry mixed with pleasure and frustration.

“You love it don’t you? You want more?” Jolie nodded her head as I moved quickly in and out before stopping again. “What else do you want?”

Jo gasped as I moved, slamming into her dangerously hard. I wanted her to admit her feelings to me so that she couldn’t hide from them anymore. I quickly started my pace against as she arched her back to me, her hips rocking with me.

“I want you…Matt…” she groaned, biting on the pillow. “I want to be with you…”

I suddenly stopped inches from her face, now panting myself. “Say that again,” I coaxed with the worlds biggest smile on my face.

“I want to be yours, Matt,” she said before I couldn’t stand it anymore.

"Oh my fucking god, Matt," she screamed as I pounded in her most tender area. My hands grip her hips even tighter as I felt her walls starting to tense up. She wrapped her legs around me and began to meet my thrusts. I moved my fingers down and began to rub her swollen clit. Jo cried my name loudly as I pushed her closer and closer to the edge. Suddenly her inner walls vice down on my dick and I couldn’t help myself. I spilled my seed deep inside her and collapsed down next to her.

“I’m here for you, Jo…I’m yours and only yours,” I told her as we both drifted off to sleep.
