"Alex!" Jade screamed out.
The anger raging within him demanded he beat the living shit out of the other man, but the cop in him told him to keep his cool. This had to be done by the book. "Get off of her Nick."
Nick froze, and turned his head to peer over at Alex. A smile emerged on the other mans' lips as he released Jade and stood, raising his hands up and lacing his fingers behind his head. Despite his motion of surrender, Alex could see the resistance in his eyes. He wasn't going to be taken in easily.
"Well, if it isn't Officer Kane, here to save his little slut."
Keeping his eyes on Nick, Alex glanced at quickly at Jade who had scrambled off the bed and was now standing on the opposite side of Nick, pulling up her jeans. Tears ran down her cheeks and she choked back her sobs.
"Jade, honey."
She glanced up at him, but her eyes were vacant. She closed her eyes and deep a deep breath in. Releasing it she caught his eyes and nodded. "I'm okay."
"Jade. Call Officer Torrance, tell him I have Nick in custody. Go now and don't come back in here."
"Okay." Her focus turned to Nick as she hesitantly walked around the bed. Once she reached his side of the bed she ran past him and out into the living room.
"Well, well. Officer Kane. Since you ruined my chance at experiencing it, how's she feel? Tight? Or have you loosened her up nice and good."
"On your knees Robichaud."
Nick laughed. "Oh come on, man to man. I'm going to be going away for a long, long time. At least tell me that much."
"On your knees now. I'll happily shot out your kneecaps if you don't."
The faint sound of sirens came from outside the window.
Nick clucked his tongue off of the roof of his mouth. "Looks like their coming for me huh?"
"Don't make this harder than it has to be." A part of Alex hoped he would, a part wanted to repay Nick for the physical and emotional paid he'd inflicted on Jade so many years ago. A part of him begged Nick to give him a reason.
"You missed out when she was a kid. Too bad I got to her first. Memories of that tight virgin pussy kept me with lots of images to jack off to over the years."
The sirens outside got louder, they were on the road a few building down. The apartment would be swarmed with cops in the matter of minutes.
"On your knees and keep your mouth shut, I'm not warning you again."
Nick's smile widened. "Yes, Sir." He started to lower himself, but with the swiftness of a cheetah, he reached behind him and retrieved a gun from the back of his pants. Not hesitating for a moment Alex fired two rounds, one hitting Nick in the shoulder the second in the chest. Nick shot wildly as he tumbled backwards onto the bed, a stream of bullets puncturing holes in the walls behind and to the left of Alex.
"Alex!" Officer Torrance along with several officers, swarmed the small bedroom, followed by Jade.
"Is it dead?" One of the officers asked entering the bedroom.
Nick groaned as Officer Torrance disarmed him. "No, but there's a lot of bleeding. We need the paramedics"
Holstering his firearm, Alex turned to Jade, put an arm around her waist and led her from the room. "It's over now sweetie."
*****
As usual, as she came out of the elevator and saw him standing outside waiting for her, her heart skipped a beat. He gave her a soft smile which only slightly showed the dimples that she'd grown to love. As usual, he was wearing his favourite faded blue jeans with a t-shirt which hugged his lean torso. Her mind took her back to several nights ago when she'd traced with her fingertips the contours of his perfectly defined abs and a heat rose up between her legs at the thought.
Stepping out of the building, she gave him a hug. The feel of his hard body as she fell into him, seemed to beg her to stay there, basking in the tender warmth of his embrace. Considering what she'd been through the past few days, the only thing she wanted at that point was to stay nestled in his embrace - safe and protected.
"How is Nick?" she asked, as she pulled away from him.
"He made it through the surgery, but still in critical condition."
Jade nodded.
"Even if he makes it he'll never hurt you again. He'll be going back to prison for the rest of his life, there's no doubt about that."
They'd never verbally said 'I love you' - yet, but it was so evident in his eyes that she didn't need to hear the words. But it would have been so nice.
Jade nodded. "Alright. Where are we going?"
His smile, though still slightly hesitant, widened. "I have a surprise for you."
Her curiosity peaked and her plan of making him suffer a little longer faded away. "What is it?"
Opening the passenger door to the Jeep, he helped her in. "You'll have to wait and find out, won't you?"
Jade groaned and rolled her eyes, though inside she was giddy. Over the past month, she'd discovered that Alex wasn't the most romantic of men, but when he did decide to do something special he went all out, making his little lapses tolerable.
They drove in silence, but within five minutes of leaving the apartment complex parking lot she knew where they were going. "The park?" She cocked an eyebrow at him. They hadn't been to the park since that first memorable date.
"Yup, but I thought we could have a little chat before we get there, to get it out of the way and so we can enjoy the evening." He shot a glance at her to confirm she was on board with that idea.
Jade nodded. "Alright."
"You need to trust me Jade. You could have been killed the other day and I have to say, it would tear my world apart if that had happened. You need to know that there is nothing you can say or do that would change how I feel about you. You can never keep things like Nick harassing you away from me again. It's my duty to keep you safe."
Squeezing his hand, Jade gave him an apologetic smile. She supposed it would be a blow to his ego that she hadn't gone to him and in retrospect she acknowledged her error.
"I'm sorry Alex."
Pulling into the park parking lot, Alex shut off the Jeep and then turned in his seat to look at her. "Are we okay? No more secrets?"
Jade nodded and gave him a smile. "I promise."
"Great. Now for your surprise." He kissed her quickly and then slipped out of the Jeep rushing to her side to let her out.
Neither one spoke until they were almost at the overlook and then he stopped and pulled a scarf out of his front pocket.
"What are you planning to do with that?" Jade asked eyeing the strip of satin suspiciously and then lifting her eyes back to him.
Following her gaze he chuckled. "No…no. Well at least not yet." He wiggled his eyebrows at her, which caused her to roll her eyes and giggle. Damn it if this man wasn't under her skin; she both loved and hated that he was.
Stepping behind her, he covered her eyes with the soft material and adjusted it so she had no vision. She yelped her surprise as he suddenly lifted her into his arms and held her tight to his chest, walking the rest of the way with her nestled securely in his arms.
Jade slipped her arms around his neck and rested her head against his chest, soothed by the sound of his rapidly beating heart. The smell of his spicy cologne assaulted her nostrils and called to her. Lifting her mouth, she placed a light kiss on his neck and then smiled at the sound of a low growl coming from him.
"Behave until we get there," he chided which only spurred Jade on rather than stopping her.
Minutes after picking her up, he stopped and slowly lowered her to her feet. He stood behind her and faced her in the direction he desired. Once she was positioned he removed the blindfold and all Jade could do was gape at the sight before her.
"It's beautiful," she finally managed to choke out. Sometime before he came to pick her up Alex must have come here and set up the most romantically breathtaking picnic she'd ever seen. A checkered blanket lay on the ground with a wicker picnic basket and a bottle of wine chilling beside it. Tiki torches were lit and the red and orange fire licke
d at the near-night sky. A large bouquet of roses and chocolates also sat waiting for her on the blanket.
Slipping his arms around her waist, Alex buried his face in her neck. He kissed his way from her collarbone to her earlobe. Each kiss sent a chill through her and by the time he had made it to her ear, her pussy was a raging inferno of need for him.
"I was going to get a mariachi band, but I thought that would be a little bit of overkill."
Jade laughed and swiped at a tear that was threatening to escape. "No, this is perfect."
"I love you Jade."
Closing her eyes, Jade sighed and basked in the feel of his arms around her as she tossed his words around in her mind. She knew he did, had felt it weeks ago, but to hear him say the words so softly in her ear while she looked upon what he'd done to make her happy, was overwhelming.
Looking up at him, she touched his strong chin with her fingertips and urged his lips to hers. "I love you too," she whispered against his lips.
His lips came crashing down onto hers with a hunger that took her breath away. Slipping her hand around the back of his neck, she kissed him back with a passion equalling his. She could feel his shaft growing rapidly against her bottom and her body began to rock against his, her rear rubbing against the ridge of his cock through the layers of clothing.
"Jade," he groaned against her mouth, "Do you want to eat…?"
"Later." Turning in his arms, so she was facing him, she flattened her body against his and gazed into his eyes. "You're my hero, you know that."
He slipped his hands up her thighs, hooking his thumbs into the thin waistband of her panties and pulling them down. They fell to the ground and she kicked them off. She'd find them later, she told herself. Or not, they were of little concern to her at that moment.
"Hmmm. Hero huh?" he smiled as he backed her towards the blanket.
As she reached the edge of the blanket she sat down, reclining back on her elbows. Looking up at him towering over her, she caught her lip between her teeth and shot him a coy grin. She parted her legs and slipped her skirt up to reveal her moist pussy to him.
Hunger flared up in his eyes as he lowered himself to the blanket next to her and ran his fingertips up her leg, starting at her knee and slowly inching his way up. His lips caught hers again, his tongue slipping past her lips as she moaned.
Her body was on fire in anticipation of him. Each inch his hand crept higher, the higher the flames within her soared. By the time his fingers reached her pussy lips, she could feel her juices seeping from her and making their way down her ass to the blanket under her.
Slipping a finger between her folds, Alex stroked her from her ass to her clit. He paused at her clit to circle and tease the swollen nub. Jade clutched onto his biceps as he stroked her. Just when she thought she couldn't take another moment of his sweet torture, he stopped and pulled his hand away despite her whimper of protest.
Nudging her over to her stomach, he positioned himself behind her. Grabbing her hips he urged her up on her hands and knees in front of him and then slid her loose flowing skirt up over her rear. Jade shivered as her wet pussy became exposed to the night air.
As she bucked and moaned at the feel of his hand stroking her so masterfully, she heard the sound of his zipper coming undone and the rustle of clothing. She wiggled her ass, tempting him.
"So impatient," he scowled, replacing his finger with the head of his shaft and running it slowly - too slowly - up and down the length of her.
"Please." Her body was vibrating and her stomach in knots as she waited to be given her much needed relief.
After running his dick up and down the length of her slit from her ass to her clit and then back again, he settled it at the entrance of her throbbing core. She backed up against him in an attempt to impale herself on his thick shaft.
Slowly - excruciatingly slowly - he inched his way into her. Each time she attempted to buck against him to drive him in deeper he'd pull away. His torment and teasing was both arousing and frustrating. Then suddenly - to her relief - he gripped tight to her hips and pulled her tight against him, impaling her completely. She cried out as his thick shaft filled her to her limits.
He held himself tight into her for a long moment, until her bucking against him became too insistent for him to resist her any longer. When he began moving inside of her his pace was fast and hard, pulling himself out nearly completely before ramming himself into her fully again; the head of his hard, thick cock stroking her inner wall. With each inward thrust her whimpers and cries became louder.
Quickly and suddenly she was overtaken by her first orgasm. She cried out his name and fisted the blanket under her as her pussy clenched and then she released her juices over his cock. But he was relentless, not allowing her a moment to recover and before she had a chance to take a breath of relief she found herself rapidly ascending the summit once more.
"Come on sweetie, I want to feel you coming on me again."
Higher and higher he was taking her, and she couldn't get enough of it - of him. The combination of his cock filling her so beautifully and the faint sound of his balls slapping against her soft, wet flesh had her begging and crying out for release.
Slipping his hand between her legs, his fingers began stroking her clit. He'd only had his fingers on her clit for a matter of seconds, before she felt another intense wave crash over her, running down her spine and coming to a final explosion between her legs.
"My God Jade, I don't think I can last any longer," Alex groaned, thrusting into her harder and faster than before.
"Come... for... me... Alex!" she managed to gasp out between thrusts. Each inward thrust was sending a jolt of pleasure through her. As much as she loved the feel of him, she longed to feel him shoot his warm cum deep into her.
Several more thrusts and she felt his cock go from rock hard to granite inside of her; it seemed to be throbbing inside of her. Just before he came he grunted, pulling her tight onto him and released, filling her completely with his seed. His final thrust and the feel of his warm cum filling her pussy set her off and she found herself going numb from the pleasure.
Feeling light-headed and weak from her orgasms she collapsed onto the blanket with Alex flopping down next to her. Still panting she allowed herself to be pulled into his arms. Once her breathing and heart rate went back to normal she cuddled in tightly to his side and looked up at him.
Alex raked his hand through her hair, watching the long brown strands fall slowly from his grip. "I was also giving something else some thought."
"Uh-huh," she murmured against his neck, flicking the flesh with her tongue.
"Mmmm, stop that or I'll never finish what I have to say."
Grinning Jade looked back up into his loving eyes. "Sorry."
"I know it has just been a month, but since we've been pretty much living together anyhow, I was thinking we should find new living arrangements. I was thinking about buying a house, so I thought you should look with me."
He was still a little wary, she got that. So what he was offering, his promise of a future together was more than she could have dreamed of at this point.
"So you could live with me there." he added, mistaking her silence for misunderstanding about what he was asking.
Placing a hand on his cheek she leaned over and kissed him. "I got that part."
"So..." he prompted.
"Of course, I would love to."
Alex let out a loud sigh of relief. "Good because I made an appointment for us with the realtor tomorrow."
Jade cocked an eyebrow at him. "Presumptuous?"
He raked a hand through her silken hair once more and gazed deep into her eyes. "No just hopeful."
The End
From the Author
As promised in my promotional blogs for this new series of books, I am going to take a moment at the end of each book to let you know what parts of the book came from my real past experiences as a coffee shop girl. So, here they are:
* The Ass Man - The ass man did exist. Each night I worked he would have something new he needed me to fetch for him and whatever it was that he wanted; it always involved me having to bend over so he could whistle. To his credit, he was indeed a good tipper.
* The Hooker Report - The coffee shop I worked at was indeed on the corner of what is dubbed "hooker row," and I was periodically asked by the officers driving through for their nightly coffee, to give them the evening "hooker report."

Chapter 1
"You only have a week left Alyssa, then he's fair game."
With annoyance welling within her Alyssa Thornton narrowed her dark eyes and glared over her shoulder at Samantha. Her attention was turned back to the task at hand; admiring one of the most magnificent things she'd ever seen through the side pane glass window of the coffee shop, while pretending to wipe down the tables in the dining room. Evan Saunders.
Evan was the newest firefighter employed at the station across the street. And like her, he usually worked the overnight shift. The girls at the coffee shop had a rule, you must "claim" a man you're interested in. This would make him off limits to the other girls at the shop and you were given a month to seal the deal with him otherwise he came up for grabs again.
Alyssa claimed Evan from the second she laid eyes on him, but there seemed to be a slight problem... Over the past few weeks - nearing a month - they seemed to have established a good, solid friendship.
"Ta ta ladies," Samantha purred as she exited the coffee shop, after finishing her eight hour shift, leaving Alyssa and her co-worker Jenny to work the overnight shift.
As Samantha strutted across the parking lot to her vehicle, Jenny - a no non-sense woman in her mid-fifties - came up behind Alyssa to stand beside her. While watching Evan as she pretended to assist with cleaning the dining room. "You realize as soon as the week is up, she'll be on him faster than you can blink."
