“You are into that book, huh?” he asked.
“Yeah, and I was just getting to the good part, mister.” She grumbled, stretched, and grinned when she saw that his eyes were drawn to her breasts.
“No, the good part is coming,” he said huskily. “But first we need to eat and talk.” She nodded and got up, surprised that so many hours had passed. It was mid-afternoon and they had missed lunch. Her stomach grumbled as she went to the kitchen. They found the premade meals that Marguerite had sent with them. Yum, more enchiladas and tamales in one container. In another, chicken and potatoes. All her favorites. She was a chef, but loved it when someone else cooked for her. It was like a mini vacation, and Marguerite was a fantastic cook. She smiled when she realized that she might be getting those recipes sooner than she thought. When she went to a restaurant, she was always critical. When Marguerite cooked, she enjoyed. Traci could never eat too much of her food.
They pulled out the tamales and heated them up. It was nice how they were so relaxed with each other. Some of her friends talked about the ‘morning after’ and how uncomfortable it could be. She was certainly happy with the way things were going with Jared.
Once they were seated at the table, Jared pulled out a paper and began to explain what was going on.
“We’ve found the daughter. She’s in New Mexico. Dom is on his way right now to protect her. Luca has pretty much focused on me. He and the men he brought were staying in Denver. Now we are not sure where they are. There is some indication that he found his daughter, so he may have sent a couple of the men to get her. We aren’t sure exactly, but it is probable,” Jared explained.
“Does the girl remember anything at all? What’s her name, I feel bad just calling her
‘girl’. She had to have gone through hell,” Traci asked.
Jared looked down at his paper and then said, “Her new name is Paige. She’s done very well for herself according to the background check. She was in therapy for years, and then went to college and became a psychologist.”
“Good for her. I hate to think that she let her parents affect the way she would live her life. And the mother?” Traci asked and then saw his face go dark.
“She left our informant several years ago. He was killed last week, tortured. We’ve been trying to find her, but she’s in the wind. The agency that placed them said she grew bored with a quiet, simple life and wanted something more, a rich man who would cater to her every need. It appears that’s why she hooked up with Luca, she must have been angry when she found out about his activities. Bitch. I knew when I saw her she was cut from the same cloth as Luca. We will find her; Lance is working that angle, and we need to make sure we know where all the players are. She may be out of the picture, but she could still cause us problems,” Jared said and then looked back down at his papers.
“What else?” she said, standing up to put her plate in the sink. When she turned, he was close to her. She laughed and took his plate and then washed them quickly, feeling him standing behind her the whole time.
When she finished she turned around and smiled at him. “What?”
“I thumbed through the book I took. I was thinking that we should maybe try something out. I really don’t think the writer tested those things before she wrote them.
Seems impossible.” He grinned and leaned in to kiss her.
She laughed and wrapped her arms around him. “We need to change your bandage. I’m not sure you’re up to monkey sex yet.”
“Hmmm. Maybe not monkey sex, but a different position definitely,” he teased and kissed her again.
She led him to the bedroom and pushed him back on the bed. Gathering the things she needed to change his bandage, she piled them on the bed and then raised an eyebrow at him. He sighed and sat up, pulling his shirt over his head.
“Wrong portion of clothing, big boy. Yyou’re getting ahead of the plan. Here, lift your hips and I’ll pull off your sweats for you.” After she had them down and off, she grinned.
“I see some parts of you are beginning to take notice. Just don’t wave it at me until I get these bandages done.” She ran her hands down his chest until she got to where the tape was. “I hate this kind of tape, it’s worse than the actual wound when you take it off,” she muttered and Jared laughed.
“Well, since it’s stuck to me, can we refrain from pulling a layer of skin off with it like Colton did?” he asked.
She smiled and nodded. “Baby, of course I will be careful, I can’t damage you too much, I’m gonna need you in a few minutes.”
Jared laughed loudly and then yelled when she peeled back the first stip. “Shit, Traci that hurt.”
“Stop it, you’re whining. I swear, men are worse than children,” she said.
“Are you gonna kiss it and make it better?” he asked and then yelled again when she pulled off the second strip.
“Grrrrrr,” he said and reclined back, trying to relax.
Traci took the others off quickly and then pulled off the gauze and looked at the stitches the doctor had placed. It looked pretty good. The redness was still there, but it was not raised and puckered like the doctor warned them to look for in case of infection. She cleaned the wound and made sure that she did a good job before covering it again with a smaller bandage and then used the tape that would not stick to his skin as bad. She grinned at him when he protested the tape again.
She leaned over, kissed the dressing, and then smiled at him. “You shouldn’t have to wear bandages for more than another couple of days. There you are, all done.”
“Not by a long shot baby. I’m careful and I want to smell good for you,” he said and pushed back on the bed. “Let's see if the author was right.” Traci rolled her eyes and said, “I’m sure that she was. Where is that book anyway?”
“Over there. The page I’m talking about has been dog-eared a lot,” he laughed.
She went to the dresser and grabbed the book. She opened to the page that was worn and skimmed through it quickly. Her cheeks turned pink as she imagined doing this to Jared. She raised a hand to her cheek and felt the burning.
Jared chuckled from the bed and she looked over her shoulder at him and grinned. “Are you sure you’re up to that?”
“Oh yeah,” he said huskily and she smiled and turned on the radio, making the room fill with her favorite country station.
Jared folded his arms over his head, relaxed his head on them, and waited for the show to start.
Traci took a deep breath, looked at Jared right in the eye, and began to unbutton his shirt. She was slow and moved her hips slowly with the beat of the ballad. She started at the bottom of the shirt and moved up slowly so he was focused on each portion of skin she revealed.
She stopped midway, closed her eyes, raised her hands over her head, and swayed to the beat of the music, turning and showing him her backside, and she heard him suck in his breath when he saw the bottom of the teddy she was wearing. It was pink and lacy; the whole thing was see-through except for strategically placed skin toned fabric that made it seem as if the whole thing was see-through.
Turning back around, she caught the heated look in Jared’s eyes and wanted to cheer.
She was seducing him, she was so proud of herself for being so bold. Never had she done anything like this.
Then she slowly began her striptease again. Finally finishing unbuttoning the shirt, she then teased him by taking it off one shoulder and pausing. Then she turned and took it off the other, looking at him coyly over her shoulder. Traci dropped the shirt by lowering her hands and standing with her back to him. She swayed her hips widely and then turned.
Jared was sitting up when she turned, eagerly looking over her body. She teased him still and danced around the bed, just out of his reach unless he stood up. The music changed to another song, this one was a little faster and had a better beat.
She knew where all the snaps for the teddy were. She had been surprised when she first tried to put it on and found that there we
re a couple of snaps between her legs, and then there were others up the side seams. The shoulder straps had velcro that attached in the back to the base, hidden. She had thought about this when she put it on this morning but never thought she would have the nerve or get the chance to do this.
The end of the song was coming and she shimmied and shook her shoulders and Jared’s eyes were drawn to her breasts. She smiled and then in perfect timing she reached to her sides and pulled. The snaps all worked, thank goodness, and the garment flew at Jared and landed on his head. She giggled when he pulled it off, looking surprised but happy that she was standing naked in front of him.
She shyly crawled on the bed and pushed him back. She was taking control this time, just like the book. And look, he was waving at her again. She was just glad she didn’t have to stand there naked trying to be sexy while undressing him. She wanted to look like she knew what she was doing instead of the novice that she was.
Jared smiled at her and urged her up so that she lay on top of him. She kissed him soundly before moving down his neck. His cock was straining toward her but she teased him. Kissing his neck and ear, and whispering what she was planning on doing to him.
She could feel his breath hitch when she described in detail.
“I’m going to kiss every inch of your body, starting right here, then move to your chest and tease your nipples. I will stroke your cock with my hand while I kiss my way down your stomach. When I finally reach your cock, I will take it in my mouth and give you so much pleasure you will be ruined for other women,” she whispered and turned a little red again. She wasn’t used to talking dirty but it’s what the woman in the book had said and it turned the man on.
She was happy to see that it affected Jared just as much. He panted and brought his hand up to her breast and teased her nipple while she was talking to him. He rolled her nipple between his thumb and forefinger, making her nipple pebble nicely.
“Holy shit. Traci. I almost came just from hearing your dirty talk. I think I like those books. I may have to buy you a whole stack myself. We can go through each of them and try all the sexy scenes they have written,” Jared said breathlessly.
Traci laughed and then kissed his neck, and trailed down to his chest. She ran her tonguein a circle around his nipple. She loved how his chest was smooth but for a small patch of hair then thinning into a happy trail to his groin. She finally sucked one of his nipples in her mouth and bit gently. She then did the same thing to the other side, and he was moaning.
She grasped his thick, hard cock and pumped it up and down a few times, making sure that he knew that she was going to do exactly what she had said.
Slowly she cupped his balls while she kissed her way down to his stomach. When she finally reached his shaft, a pearl of cum was releasing. She licked it quickly and heard him suck in his breath as she took his tip in her mouth and licked around the top slowly, getting used to the taste of him. It was not as bad as she thought it was going to be, so she grew bolder.
Traci held on to the bottom of his cock and lowered her mouth slowly over him, trying to take as much as she could. He was so large she only could take about half of him. With her hand, she set a rhythm of pumping his lower cock while she took care of the top with her mouth. She smiled as she heard him moan her name.
“Traci, your mouth is like heaven,” he said and she smiled as much as she could around his cock.
She sucked him in to the back of her throat and then swallowed. Traci thought he was going to come off the bed as he yelled for her to do it again. She made a few more passes and then felt him tugging on her arm.
“I want to cum in side you, sweetheart. Get up here,” he growled and she kissed the tip of his cock and then crawled back up his body.
She straddled him, holding herself up right over his hips and smiled at him. “How am I doing?” she asked.
“Any better and you’d be killing me,” he said and held her waist as she lined up with his cock. She slid down on him slowly and sighed at the different feelings she was having from the position. It was like he was stuffing her to the rim. She braced her hands on his chest and moved a little then gasped when she felt him move deeper in her.
“Oh my God,” she whispered and closed her eyes. “This feels amazing.” He laughed and then suggested she move herself a little, lifting up slightly and then back down. She quickly got the idea and began moving her hips, setting a slow and teasing pace. She leaned over and offered him her breast as she moved over him.
Jared took her offering and palmed her breast holding it for his mouth to envelope. She sighed and then pulled his other hand to her unattended breast and showed him what she wanted. She rubbed her nipple with his palm and then, when she knew he was going to hold her breast, she put her hands on the side of his head and began to pump.
She moved faster and faster, undulating so she hit her own clit with the tip of his cock.
When she felt the passion begin to take over, she yelled for him that she was ready and he nodded and she pumped once, then twice and held herself to him while he emptied his seed in her.
Traci collapsed on his chest exhausted. “You killed me,” she whispered and he laughed and rolled to the side holding her close, cuddling.
Jared’s last thought was ‘what a way to go’. And he fell asleep wrapped in her arms.
Chapter 10
Jared woke to the beeping of the sat phone coming from the other room. He moved slowly, disengaging himself from Traci and then smiled when he walked quickly to the phone naked.
“Hello,” he said softly so as not to wake her quite yet.
There was silence on the phone and he frowned, held it away from his head, and looked at it. “Hello,” he said again and then listened intently as he heard clicking noises on the phone and he paused. Someone was tapping a code. He grabbed his pen and whispered, “Start over.”
The tapping paused and then he heard it start again and he wrote down the code that was coming across. ‘ONE MAN WATCHING FROM THE WEST< THREE CLICKS
FROM ME< MAYBE MORE
Jared whispered, “On it. Contact me with updates.”
Jared hung up the phone and calmly walked to the window and without putting himself in the line of fire, he pushed the wooden covers over them. Then walked back into the bedroom and closed all of the windows that were open. They all had drapes but the inside wooden covers were intended to be used when no one was here. The windows on the outside were Plexiglas, so they were hard to break.
Traci stirred and he turned to the bed and smiled. She looked like an angel when she slept. He wished that they’d have been here under different circumstances. Slowly he crawled back into his side of the bed and as if she sensed him, she turned and cuddled in his arms.
He sighed, laid his head on top of hers, and thought of what was coming. He figured they only had another day or so before they made a move. They couldn’t wait forever now that they knew where they were. Jared knew that it was coming; he just wished they had more time.
Maybe he should have sent Traci farther away. It would have killed him, but she probably would have been safer. Jared thought about all the facts that he knew. Luca was crazy; he would stop at nothing to find him and the people he thinks wronged him.
The man outside that Colton was watching was probably an associate of his. There was no way that if they had a lead on his daughter, then he probably did too and would have gone personally to get her. He hoped Dom was being careful.
Dom needed to get back here with the girl where they could guard her. Unfortunately, it looked like for the near future his ranch was going to be busy. He hoped that Traci was ready for all of this. She probably wished she’d found someone who didn’t have all this shit in their past.
Traci moved a little and looked up at him. “What are you thinking so hard about?” she asked.
“Nothing, just trying to figure out what to do next. Colton called and said we have a visitor. He’l
l probably make his move tomorrow or the next day. They’re watching to see if he’s alone or with someone else. It’s not like there’s a lot of places for them to hide,” Jared said.
“What do we need to do?” she said quietly.
“For now, we will stay inside like we have been and keep the windows shut. The sun is going down soon and Colton will call me back when he finds out more. Till then, we wait,” Jared said and she nodded into his chest.
“Why don’t I get up and make a light dinner? We ate late and then slept. I think it may be an early night tonight. You’ve worn me out,” she teased and then eased back and kissed him lightly before pulling on his shirt again and getting up from the bed. He sighed and felt like he’d broken the mood.
They had been relaxed and now he could feel the tension in the room. It was not surprising seeing how they were going to be attacked soon, he thought. It would kinda put a damper on most dates. He also didn’t want to be caught with his pants literally down.
He pulled on his shorts and walked into the kitchen where she was heating up some chicken and potatoes. He sat on the couch and pulled the notebook toward him and started going over everything again; he wished he knew who Luca had brought so they knew what they were up against. He wrote down the names of the people he remembered were followers way back then.
There had been a lot of dangerous men that they’d locked up. By now though, he probably had newer, more dangerous ones, stone cold killers version 2.0. And where the hell was his ex-wife? It pissed him off that they had allowed her to just walk away after she had been the one to cause most of the delays and problems they’d had towards the end of the mission. The poor man had fallen for her line; it was sad. Jared thought about the small, mousey man that had traded information for money and a girl. Now he was dead and the girl in the wind, probably with all of his money.
He looked for the report of the informant’s death. He had been tortured and several clues had been found on the scene. Including a small notebook the informant had hidden, it was information about recent activity of the RTF. How had he known? Jared wondered. He and the woman were supposed to be in hiding from the RTF.
