  “Good, I know you have. He has you too. I was always afraid he would hurt you and that is why I never pushed the issue. I’m glad things are working out for all of us. Maybe a double wedding?” She giggles.

  “Maybe, you never know.” I laugh. “Now we have to tell your parents. Fuck there is something else you should know as well. My mother used to date your dad before he met your mom. That’s why she never wanted me around you all. She hated me because she never wanted me. You knew that, but apparently she was in love with your dad but he married your mom. I think that’s everything I’ve kept from you.” I say as I wipe my tears away.

  It’s been a month since we told my parents about the baby. Audrey has put her condo up for sale and has taken over my bedroom. I love it, hell I wouldn’t have it any other way. That girl has had my heart since she spoke to me when I was twelve. Although it has taken her fifteen years to show me that, she has the same feelings. I’m actually going to propose to her. I got to do it right though.

  There is a place about two hours from here called Arcadia City. She talks about going there all the time to ride. A buddy of mine went to Tennessee last week and picked up Goldie that is Audrey’s new mare. I know she is going to love her. Keeping her a secret has been rough.

  We have spent every minute possible together. This has been the greatest month of my life. I hate her job though. I wish she would go into practice with the guys and me. But she is one stubborn woman, and trying to persuade her is a pain. Today, I’m meeting her for lunch. She has been getting phone calls from her crazy mother.

  I know she doesn’t want anything to do with her, hell I wouldn’t either. She is one crazy bitch from what I hear. The things she has said and done to Audrey would hurt anyone. I will spend the rest of my life protecting that woman. So if keeping her mom away will make her happy then I will for sure get a restraining order against her.

  “Hey, baby. You want the usual from the deli?” I ask Audrey as I run into the deli to pick up or lunch.

  “Yes, a turkey on sourdough with Swiss cheese and honey mustard.”

  “I know what you want, love.” I laugh

  “A Diet Coke too, please?”

  “Anything you want. See, if you would just come work with me, we would have more lunchtime together.

  “Stop, I’m not leaving my job. Now bring your fine ass along with my sandwich.”

  “Okay ordering now, I’ll be there in a few. Oh and by the way, we need to go shopping for a new saddle; you have a huge surprise in the barn.” I say then hang up. She is going to kill me for not including her in on purchasing Goldie.

  Zander is bringing me lunch. He has begged me to quit my job. I haven’t told him yet, but I’m going to go in practice with him and his friends. I know that’s what he really wants. My office isn’t very big, but I hope when I work with the guys that they will give me a great office with a damn view. I sit here staring out the window, looking into the next building. I think that my life is perfect right now. I never realized once I told him everything how great it would be.

  My phone buzzes, I know it’s Alma letting me know that Zander is here. I tell her to send him on in. I take my blazer off, leaving on my camisole and skirt. I close the window blinds then slip my cami and skirt off. Just as I position myself on my desk, there’s a knock on the door.

  “Come in.” I announce

  “Hey, sexy… Damn, I didn’t know I was getting desert with lunch.” He laughs as he walks over to me. I stand and place a kiss on his lips. I start unbuttoning his shirt.

  “We don’t have much time—I have a meeting in an hour. But I want to have sex in my office before I resign, we will talk about the horse at home. Right now this is all I want to discuss.” I say as I rub my hand over his crotch.

  “I will give it to you anywhere you want. Wait—did you say resign? Does that mean that…?” I stop him by placing my finger on his lips.

  “Yes, I’m resigning. I am coming to work with you. But I will need my own office with a nice view. Also, two weeks’ vacation a year. I would also like to fuck you in my office whenever I want. Is this all negotiable?”

  “Oh, there will be no negotiating. You can have whatever you want. The salary is double what you make here. With the talent you have in a courtroom, you should have left this place a long time ago.”

  “Enough talking, I want my desert.” I say as I drop to my knees.

  I unbuckle his belt, pulling it out of the loops. I sling it on the floor. I unbutton his button. I then unzip his zipper. Pulling his pants down, his dick springs forward. My man goes commando most of the time. I push him into my chair. I stay kneeling and pull the chair toward me.

  Leaning in, I start massaging his balls. He licks his lips and throws his head back. Just as I take his length in one hand, his hand grabs the other. He takes his other hand and pushes my head into his bulging cock.

  “I want you to suck my dick as hard as you can.” He groans as he takes my other hand and places it on his balls. “They need attention too.” He says as he puts his hands back in my hair.

  Moving mouth up and down his beautiful cock, I can feel my pussy dripping. I’m so fucking wet. I continue sucking him as hard as I can, taking my hand away from his balls. I place it in my panties. Just as I start rubbing myself he says, “No touching yourself, only I am going to make that sweet pussy come. Move your hand now.”

  Holy fuck… That was hot as hell; I can feel my juices running down my thighs. I take my hand and place it at the root of his dick, every time my mouth went to the tip, my hand would stroke up. I could feel his cock hitting the back of my throat, and I relax it making a humming sound opening it up so I could take all of him. Right now, I wanted to taste him so goddamn bad. His breathing was heavy and his groans got louder.

  “Audrey, I’m going to come in your mouth. I want you to swallow it. You ready for it.” He groans, as he pushes my head further down his shaft.

  “Hmm. All of it. I need to taste you.”

  “That’s my girl. I knew you loved tasting me as much as I do you. Once I come in your mouth, I am going to eat your pussy. You won’t be able to stand up straight once my tongue gets finished. Hmm, baby. I can’t hold off any longer. God…damn.” He groans as he pumps into my mouth.

  As I feel his hot come shooting through my mouth, hitting the back of my throat, I swallow every fucking drop of his tasty juices. I gently pull my head away from him and wipe my mouth. I smile up at him, with a wink I say, “It’s your turn. My pussy is aching for your touch.”

  “Oh, trust me, I am going to lick every inch of that beautiful pussy.” He says as he grabs my ass and sits me on the desk. In one swoop, my drenched panties are on the floor.

  “I love how aggressive you are when you want me.” I say as I spread my legs open. He keeps his hands in the small of my back, scooting me closer to him. I place my legs on his shoulders.

  “I’ve wanted to taste you on my lips all day. Now I get what I want.” He grunts as he places his mouth above my clit. He gently blows on it sending my body into shivers. “I love watching you come undone in my arms. That’s just the beginning. He uses his tongue circling my clit. Just as I am getting ready to come, he slides a finger in me.

  “Oh…God…please, fuck me Zan. I need to feel you in me. I want to come with you inside of me.” I beg as he fingers me harder.

  “You ready for me to bend you over this desk and fuck the hell out of you?” He groans as he flips me over.

  “Hell yes. We have to be quite though. I can’t moan like I do at home.” I whisper as I place my ass in the air. He grabs my cheeks with both hands. Spanking me; making my heat clinch even more. I grab his shirt from the desk and shove it in my mouth.

  “There is no being quiet when your hot flesh is wrapped around my throbbing cock.”

  Hearing his words, make me come again. Just as I clench my walls, I feel the tip of him enter me. With one hand on my hip, he takes the other and smacks my ass. I push into him, letting h
im now I want more. With each thrust, he smacks my ass, the harder it got the more I could feel him growing harder and harder inside of me. I spit his shirt out and let my moans escape.

  “That’s it, Audrey, tell me how good it feels. You want me to fuck you harder?” he groans. I feel his sweat dribble down the crease of my back.

  “Mmm, yes. Oh…God, yes, please harder. Spank me, big daddy.” I cry out as he smacks my ass so hard I feel tears stinging my eyes. “Again… Please.” I beg.

  “I love you so much; I can’t control it any longer. I am going to come. I can’t control myself when you talk to me like that. The more you talk, the harder I get.” He says right before I feel him squeeze my hips. I can feel every ounce of him shooting through me. Him coming in me is the greatest feeling. Ever…

  “Now how about we eat lunch? After my meeting, I will be home. Do you have any plans?”

  “Not really. Evan is back in New York. So that leaves me getting everything else together for the firm. He should be back in a few months. I know you miss, Tatum.”

  “Well, I may swing by and start decorating my office. I do miss her, and I think she is a little mad that I didn’t tell her about us.”

  “She isn’t mad at you, you’re her best friend. Hell, if you hadn’t gave her that gun, she may not even be here today.”

  “I know, I swear I hated that bastard. I wish she would have killed him.”

  “You and me both. I knew there was something off about him, but I couldn’t figure it out. She is safe with Evan now.”

  “Damn it… Fuck, my meeting. I have to go.” I say as I throw my clothes on. “I knew you would make me late.” I laugh as Zander rolls his eyes fidgeting with his zipper.

  “Okay, go. Come by the office when you are finished. Do you want me to take these boxes with me?”

  “Yes, take them to my new office.” I giggle. “Now get out of here. I love you and I will see you later.” I kiss him and run out the door. As I pass my receptionist, I see her smiling at me. Damn she fucking heard us. Hell, she might have been turned on by it. I know I would have, if I were the one hearing it.

  Leaving Audrey’s office, I’m on cloud fucking nine. I’ve been begging her to come work with the guys and me. Well, Evan is still trying to recruit Brody. But it will be the four of us. We are some damn good attorneys. As I start my truck, I see a man in a car watching me.

  I drive a few miles and can still see him behind me. I flip a U-turn and head the other way. He keeps going the other way. Just then, my phone starts ringing. I look to see that it’s Audrey. She should be in her meeting.

  “Hey, baby, you miss me already?”

  “Zander, my fucking car broke down. It acted weird when I left the office. I swear, I think someone messed with it. I am on route seventy-two in the middle of nowhere.”

  “Stay in your car, lock the doors, I am on my way.”

  “Okay, well it is still drivable. It’s making a funny nose. The odd thing is, when I left I saw a man running to the other side of the street. He was in between our cars.”

  “Fuck, stay there I’m headed that way now. Do not get out of that car, Audrey. You hear me.”

  “Yes, what the fuck is going on?”

  “I saw him, it was a man. Not sure who, though.”

  “Oh, hell. You don’t think. No, it couldn’t be him.”

  “I don’t know, but whoever he is he is going to wish he hadn’t messed with us. Don’t hang up stay on the line till I get there.”

  “Okay… Now I wish I’d put my gun in my purse.” She says and I hear paper moving around.

  “Audrey, love, what are you doing? I have you on speaker and it picks up everything.”

  “I’m looking for my knife—I know I put it in my console. It isn’t here though. That fucker, he has been in my car. That’s okay; I have my bat hid under my seat.” She laughs then she starts yelling again. “That son of a bitch, cock sucking mother fucker. He took my bat too. My car was locked. I don’t know how he got in it.”

  “I’m almost there just calm down. He will not hurt you this time. I can see your car. Why the fuck aren’t you in it?” I seethe as I can see her standing next to it.

  “I had to get out, it was making a noise and I didn’t want it to blow up with me in it.”

  “Baby, it isn’t going to blow up. He probably just messed with the wires.” I say as I pull up behind the car. She runs over and opens my door. She has tears in her beautiful eyes.

  “Jesus… Zander is he trying to kill me, look.” She says as she points to her tires. Both driver side tires had gashes in them.

  “Pop your hood; let’s see what this dumb ass has done.”

  Looking under the hood, all the wires have been messed with and the battery is tilted. Looking a little closer, there’s a plastic bag. In that bag is a letter. I’m not sure if I should touch it but I want to see what it says.

  “Audrey, give me a tissue or a napkin. There is a letter in here.”

  “What the fuck… A letter? Who the hell would put a letter in there?” She says as she grabs a tissue from her purse.

  “I don’t know, but we are going to find out who this sick bastard is.” I say as I open the bag and take the letter out.

  “There is no name on it. It is a typed letter. Zander who is doing this?” she cries, as she wraps her arms around my waist.

  “Love, I’m not sure. The man I saw leave, didn’t really look like Ian. Well, from what I remember he looks like.” Looking down the road, making sure no one has followed us. I lean down, pick up a rock, and throw it toward the trees. “I’m sure we can find out what he looks like now. We will have your car towed home. You aren’t driving it.”

  “Okay, I don’t want to be left alone anyways. Now I need to get home and take a shower. I feel dirty after knowing some sleaze was in my car.”

  “Come on darling’, I want to go see what we can find out about Ian.”

  I have a feeling we haven’t seen the last of whoever was fucking with Audrey’s car. I watch my rearview all the way home. No fucking way I am leaving her alone. Pulling into the driveway, Berry comes running to the truck. I’m going to start leaving her in the house when we aren’t home.

  Making sure no one is around; I get out of the truck and walk over open Audrey’s door. I motion her to get on my back. I give her a piggyback ride into the house. It doesn’t look like anyone has been here. Sitting her down in the doorway, and looking into her eyes, I can see that she is scared.

  “Look at me, nothing is going to happen. I will protect you, even if it means giving up my own life. I would rather die than live miserably without you.” I say as I wipe a tear from her cheek.

  “I couldn’t live without you. There is no way. If it’s Ian, we have to make him pay for what he has done.”

  “We will, let’s go look online and see what he looks likes now.”

  “The man I saw wasn’t him, I would have noticed him. I will never forget that look in his eyes that day he forced his way into the loft. I still have fucking nightmares.” She shutters.

  “Come on, I need to see what this psycho looks like.”

  As we walk into my office, a weird feeling comes back to me. I grab Audrey and pull her behind me. Looking out the window, I don’t see anyone. Berry isn’t barking so it may be my imagination. Turning on the computer, I log onto a site where I know I can find a picture of Ian. Waiting for the image to load, I look into my woman’s face and fear is all over it.

  The image appears on the screen, but as I look at him, he isn’t the guy I saw. The man I saw was a little older. It couldn’t have been the same man. I look up to see Audrey crying. I pull her onto my lap. I can’t believe he has her so afraid of him. I want to rip his head off with my bare hands. No fucking way he is getting close to her again.

  “So is he the same man?” she whimpers.

  “No, that isn’t him. The man I saw was a little older. Can you think of anyone else that may be after you?”

  �
��No…I can’t think of anyone, unless it could be someone from one of my cases. They all know where I work. So it could have been any of them.” She sighs as she clings to me.

  “You aren’t going back there. No way in hell, I am letting anyone from there hurt you. I’m calling Alton. He can look into this more. He may have some connections. I know that since Ian’s father retired. Not a lot of them have much to do with him.”

  “Okay, well what I am supposed to do? I still have a couple meetings.” She says as she crosses her arms.

  “Sorry dear, they are cancelled. They can find someone else to attend them.” I say as I pick up my phone to call Alton. He and I played baseball together. He knows how much I hate Ian anyways. I ask him to come over ASAP.

  Alton arrives and I give him all the information I have. I show him the letter and ask him if this can stay between us. I don’t want the sheriff’s department to get involved. I know some might still work at Mr. Jackson request to keep his bastard son out of trouble.

  “Zander, I don’t think this can be Ian. He’s in Marion County. I don’t think he has been coming around here lately. I can check to make sure. I know the last time I’d heard anything that’s where he was.”

  “Is there a way to find out what he is up to there? Working, friends, women. Anyone that can give us an idea of what he is doing? Maybe find out who he was seeing before leaving here.” I ask, as I sigh.

  “Sure. I can try but you know his father pretty much has his files on lock down. I’ll see what I can dig up for you. As for the note—have there been any others that you are aware of?”

  “I haven’t seen any others. It could also be a client from Audrey’s job. She sees so many people there; it’s hard to tell who would be doing this, or if it’s someone from there.” I say as I cross my arms over my chest and lean against my counter. Knowing that someone is after my woman has me ready to spit fucking nails. Who does this shit, to a young woman? A sick motherfucker that’s who—a twisted son of a bitch.
