Bad Boy (11 page)

Jake

It
felt like forever before my team got here but in actuality it was only five
minutes later. They came in hot, sirens blaring and it looked like the whole
lot of them were
on my front lawn including the pregnant
one. To fuck shit up even more the cab pulled up to offload mom and Mindy. I
needed to go with my guys to take care of shit but I didn’t want to leave her
so maybe it was a good thing they’d shown up in the nick of time. She was still
plastered to my front, her hands clutching me for dear life. “It’s okay baby
you have to let me go to work now okay.” Mom and Mindy dropped their bags and
looked around at all the strange people. “What’s happened son?” I pulled them
in too and welcomed them home. “There was a little situation can’t get into it
right now I have to go take care of something. It’s around back under an old
bucket.” I told the guys as they got what they needed ready to go handle shit.
“Listen I want you three to stay right here for a minute.” I went over to the
van my people had just pulled up in and got what I needed. Heading into the
garage I ran the wand over my truck looking for any surprises but there weren’t
any so I climbed in and pulled out. I wasn’t sure what I was dealing with here
but I didn’t want to leave my wife out in the open just in case. “Get in the
truck and stay there until I come get you.” They tried arguing with me but it
didn’t take much to shut them down. Mom was already doing her thing hugging my
woman and trying to calm her while Mindy brushed her hair with her fingers.

I
put them in the truck and went to see where my people were at with this shit. I
had to put a leash on my emotions and clear my fucking head. The robot was
doing her thing while the team stood a fair distance away. Tessie was a nifty
little toy that DHS had paid millions for we have two of these shits. They can
do in seconds what it would take a human minutes or sometimes hours to do. She
evaluates the potential threat and dismantles it all by herself. If the rest of
the world really believes that Americans are the dumbest fucks on the planet
they’ve never seen inside the mind of a homegrown MIT grad. This little beauty
was the brainchild of a fucking teenager. He learned the shit from programming
video games of all things.

“What
the fuck boss?” My guys were pissed but they were nowhere near my level. I
didn’t let my mind play the guessing game that was no way to go into an Op. If
I started thinking it might be one asshole and focused entirely on him then I
might miss something. I’m a free market thinker everyone is suspect except the
three women sitting in my truck. If the fucker was watching this play out he
was gonna need a rocket launcher if he wanted to fuck with them. “Task
complete.” Who the fuck thought of giving Tessie Marilyn Monroe’s voice anyway?
That shit was just off. We walked over to where she’d picked apart what turned
out to be an eight-inch metal galvanized pipe bomb. You could buy that shit
anywhere and so too the caps that were used. There were nails, which were
supposed to project on impact and some fuck had put it under my wife’s pillow.
There was no timer it had been rigged to go off when she put her head on the
pillow.

“Okay
now we need to comb the house, both sides.” We waited out in the van while
watching Tessie do her thing going through the house meticulously step by step.
“Clear.” The first floor was clear now we watched as she climbed the stairs. I
looked over to the truck where the girls had their faces up to the windows.
“Melissa what’re you doing here?” She looked like she was ready to pop any
minute. “I’m part of the team aren’t I?” Hardheaded fuck, I looked at her
husband who just shrugged his shoulders and went back to watching the screen.
Pussy whipped motherfucker. When it looked like the house was clear I walked
over to the truck while Terry went to get Tessie so she could do the same thing
next door, I wasn’t taking any chances. I climbed in back where my woman was
and pulled her into my arms for a hug and a kiss to the temple. It had been
days since I’d touched her with tenderness. “You hanging in there baby?” She
nodded against my chest and hugged me close. “How about you two you
doin
okay?” They were scared but holding their own. “We
should be done here soon then you can go in and take a load off.”

“Jackie
said there was a bomb Jake who would do such a thing?” Mindy is one of those
females
that’s
going to be just like Melissa when she
grows up. She was pissed and barely holding onto her temper, which I’m sure was
only for mom and my wife’s sake. I had a pretty good idea who she thought was
responsible but I wasn’t going there and especially not in front of my woman.
When whoever it was came up staked out on a pike somewhere she didn’t need to
know it was because of this or that it had been at her husband’s hand. Women
have strange ideas when it comes to shit like that. “We don’t know anything yet
sis, don’t worry about this shit just go inside when I give you the all clear
and talk about your trip or some shit. Jacqueline took a million pictures to
show you two and I’m sure you’ve got your own cache. That’s all I want the
three of you thinking about right now the rest of this is not for you.” She
opened her mouth to argue but I shut her down.

There
was a knock on the window and I kissed my woman before stepping out. “It’s
clean boss what do you want to do now?” I opened the truck door and told the
women to head on in while I go to my place to take care of something. Melissa
opted to go with them, which was a weight off my mind. They were already
talking babies by the time they reached the first step. “Okay I have to go look
at the tapes, we only just got back literally so I didn’t even think of looking
at that shit. Had I done that shit she wouldn’t have almost…fuck.” It hit me
then, gut deep and hard. I could’ve lost her today. I could be standing over
her dead body in the fucking morgue right now. And for what, what had she ever
done but be mistreated her whole fucking life?

“Easy
boss easy.” Hector’s voice came to me almost from a distance, at least that’s
what it sounded like which made no sense. My hands hurt and I looked down to
see blood dripping from the right one. What the fuck?

I’d punched the fuck out of
the truck and had no recollection whatsoever of doing it. Without another word
I turned and walked away towards the house with my team bringing up the rear.

In
my security room I rewound back to the day we left. I didn’t want to see the
last hour, never wanted to see my wife picking that shit up from the one place
she was supposed to feel safe. It was the day before yesterday that we finally
saw movement. Two things registered at once. One, how the fuck did this asshole
know when we were coming home? I hadn’t given anyone that information. And two,
this fucker knew me or about me because he kept his face well hidden the whole
time. He came in through the back, I couldn’t see what he used to jimmy the
lock but he’d been smart to come in that way. If he’d used the front I would’ve
noticed right away. I watched as he walked up the stairs sure and steady, he knew
no one was here. How the fuck had he got pass my security? I’ll have to look
into that later.

He
looked around the room still with his face hidden, what was he looking for? He
walked over to the side table and picked up the book she’d left there. That’s
when he lifted her pillow and sniffed it before planting his little welcome
home surprise. Nail in his fucking coffin, he’d targeted her. “Show me your
face you fuck.” He was completely covered from head to toe. He wore leather
gloves and his shirt sleeves were pulled down so there wasn’t even a flash of
flesh showing. Then he did it, he picked his head up as he looked around again.
“Gotcha you fuck.”

“Are you shitting me?” The
room erupted as I sat and seethed, this complicated things but not by much. Some
way somehow he was done. I reached for the phone on my desk; it was picked up
on the first ring.

“Boy
you’re supposed to be gone for three months don’t tell me you’re bored already
I told you…”

“
Supe
I just watched Samuels on my security planting a bomb under my wife’s pillow.”
He stopped talking in mid stride. “The fuck you say.” I gave him the
particulars and can’t say I was surprised by his first words to me. “Jake you
can’t kill him.” Of course he would know that that’s where my head was at, he
knows me better than most. He should also know that what he was asking was damn
near impossible for a man like me. “That your only stipulation?”

“I’m pretty sure I can’t
stop you from going after him so yeah. Why do you have cameras in your bedroom
anyway?”

“It’s part of the house,
it’s where my wife sleeps why the fuck wouldn’t it be the most protected place
in the fucking house?”

“Okay son calm down I’m not
the enemy. Look can you hold off on whatever you’re planning? Let me try to
work something…”

“Negative
Supe
, you fuck with me on this it would be the end of us,
we clear? You don’t do shit that would tip him off.”

“I think you forget that
I’m your boss.”

“I think you forget I don’t
give a fuck, he gets away I’ll level this fucking town to the ground.”

“Okay, okay, calm down I
wasn’t going to tip off the fucker, I’m just trying to figure a way to do this
so you don’t get any flack from the big guys.”

“You think I give a fuck
about that either? And
Supe
about your
stipulation…he’s fucked.” He was still calling for me when I hung up.

“What’s
our play boss? What’re we doing?” I looked around the room at all of them, all
ready to go to battle for me but I couldn’t and wouldn’t ask them to. “We’re
not doing anything I am. Not your fight boys.” They let that settle in for a
minute before they decided by their code what they were gonna do. “We
understand that you’re pissed boss so we’ll let that insult slide and not tell
you what an ass backward shit fuck thing that is to say. Now how the fuck are
we coming after this asshole?” Shit the last thing I need is a bunch of hot
heads on my ass. “This isn’t business as usual boys this shit is personal…” Of
course Melissa chose that moment to walk into the room. “Well, who the
fuck are
we hunting?”

“You’re
not hunting shit, Jace seriously can’t you have her admitted for observation or
some fuck? Melissa you’re about to have a baby, the last thing you need is to
be running around like fucking
Shera
. I could’ve
sworn I put you on the desk more than two months ago; and don’t think I don’t
know about you sneaking into Ops. The only reason I left that shit alone was
because they weren’t too dangerous and I knew the guys had you covered but this
shit is different.” She totally ignored my ass as she turned to her husband and
the rest of her teammates.

“Who
was it?” What the fuck? Did no one listen anymore? You leave for a couple weeks
and everything goes to shit. “Samuels.” Terry the fuck had no compunction about
telling her, that’s what happens when you build a team like mine. They stick
together no matter what to face all comers. Too bad I’d forgot to tell them
that shit wasn’t supposed to be used against their leader. “Stand down all of
you, I’m doing this shit alone.” My hand was starting to hurt like a son of a
bitch and I looked through my desk for something to clean it up a little.
“Where is he usually this time of day? His office most likely, can’t take him
there too many eyes and heat.” She was already planning strategy, my words
going totally ignored. “We can get to his car in the parking lot, he likes that
cushy spot away from everyone else maybe we can use that in our favor.” Mason
one of the quieter of the bunch spoke up.

 
“I’m thinking the boss might want to make this
one up close and personal.”

“The
boss would like all of you to stand the fuck down Hector.” It was as though I
hadn’t even spoken, they just went on about their business discussing the best
way to take out the captain. “We can’t let you do that boss, your rules
remember? If it affects one it affects all.” Shit.

I
sat back and listened as they threw around ideas. There was no point in arguing
any farther they’d proven that. While they talked I formulated my own shit in
my head. I pretty much knew what I had to do just had to figure the shit out.
When the dust cleared I needed to be able to come home to my wife.

“Okay
guys we’re gonna need to pick this up tomorrow I have to go see to my woman.”
They looked at me suspiciously but I wasn’t giving away shit. They’re hard yes
but I’m harder. I finally got them to leave by telling them Jacqueline needed
me right now and I couldn’t think about what needed to be done until I’d made
sure she was okay. I played to their earlier assessment that I was too close to
the situation, but the reality was somewhat different.

As
soon as they were gone I went next door to get her. I had to give mom and Mindy
some type of explanation but I watered it down as best I could. All they needed
to know was that they were safe. My only thought right now was getting her home
and alone. I needed to feel her under me, to reassure myself that she was
really safe. I needed to wipe my mind clean of the image of her holding a
fucking homemade bomb in her hand shaking with fear.

She
started fussing over my hand on the way over but I couldn’t even feel the pain
anymore. “Jake you’re hurt what did you do?” I looked at the swollen mess and
put it out of my mind. I’d already ascertained that it wasn’t broken just badly
bruised,
besides I had more important things on my
mind. “Don’t worry about it now baby I need you.” I picked her up at the door
and took her upstairs. Bypassing our room I took her to one of the guest rooms
and closed the door.

“Jake.”
I kissed her to keep her quiet, I didn’t want to talk about anything right now,
I
just wanted to feel. I unbuttoned her shirt and
pushed it off her shoulders. Her bra was next before I unsnapped her jeans and
pushed them down her thighs. I left the scrap of material covering her pussy
for last while I shed my own clothes with her help. Pulling her over to the bed
without a word I laid her back with her ass hanging over the edge. Finally I
pulled her panties off and inhaled her scent. I’d missed her smell in the last
few days, never again. Opening her up with my thumbs I took a moment to enjoy the
pink softness of her flesh. She was already wet, beads of her essence just
waiting for my tongue. I licked her first before taking her clit into my mouth.
I had to close my eyes against the pleasure that coursed through me as her
taste burst on my tongue. Lifting her ass in my hands I left only her shoulders
resting on the bed and ate her like I’d been starved for the taste of her.
“Jake.” Her body shook as I took everything I needed from her. My cock was
aching and full, pre cum dripping down to the floor when I finally let her back
down. I pushed her farther up onto the bed and climbed over her. Taking my cock
in hand I led it into her soft heat until I was seated to the hilt. I held
still, enjoying the feeling of having her hot pussy wrapped around me again.
“Never again.” I hadn’t meant to say the words out loud it was a promise to
myself that no matter what I would never deny her again. Never keep what was
hers away from her. It felt like forever since I’d been here since we’d danced
this dance. She looked up at me with need clouding her eyes, her sweet face so
precious. An uncontrollable need rose up in me, the need to completely take her
over. I wanted everything that she had to be mine, needed to own, to possess
all that she was. Lowering my head I took her mouth and kissed her slowly,
taking my time to suck her tongue into my mouth while my cock stroked in and
out of her slowly, deeply. My body wanted to fuck but I needed to make love to
my wife. Not only because I hadn’t touched her in days but because after today
she needed it, we both did. I used my body to show her just how fucking
precious she was and to erase the horror of what she’d been through.

She
came for me twice, calling out for me to love her faster, harder but still I
held back. I wanted to
last,
at least until I was over
the image, until my world was set to rights again. If I could’ve molded her to
me in that moment I would’ve. The love I felt for her as she moved beneath me
was stronger than I’ve ever known. For three and a half years I loved her,
thought I knew what love was, what that all consuming feeling I had meant.
Until today, until I’d felt fear unlike anything I’d ever known.
 

The
loud banging of the headboard against the wall brought me back from the place
I’d gone to in my head. I shook myself back to awareness to realize I’d fucked
her halfway up the damn headboard, her neck was at an odd angle and there was a
huge red mark on her neck where I’d sucked her skin too hard. “Fuck baby I’m
sorry.”
 
I tried to pull out, to repair
the damage I’d done. How else had I hurt her while I’d been lost in my own
fucking head? She clutched at me and pulled my head down as her body moved
wildly beneath my still thrusting cock. I’d come to in the middle of her
orgasm, her body was still clenching hungrily around my cock. She shocked the
fuck out of me when she wrestled me to my back and took over.

She
was gone, somewhere primal and lustful. Her hips moved like a piston as she
rode my cock up and down. Her head was thrown back and her mouth opened in
surprise and all I could do was hold onto her hips and enjoy the ride. I didn’t
even try to take over just let her have her way. Until she fucked me so hard I
thought she would hurt her little pussy. I understood her need to feel alive,
to feel in control but I couldn’t let her hurt herself. When she lowered her
head and I saw the tears she broke my fucking heart. “Shh baby don’t, come
‘ere.” I pulled her down to my chest and rolled us over. Taking her face in my
hands I brushed her hair back and looked into her eyes as my hips kept up their
movements. “ I love you Jacqueline, nothing’s going to hurt you I won’t let
it.” She strained against me too far gone to do anything more than seek her
release. I needed to calm her so I pulled out and sucked on her pussy again
until a few minutes later her breathing calmed and she stopped moving so
wildly. My heart was racing with my own need as I once again climbed over her,
but this time it was I who needed. I turned her onto her hands and knees
leading my cock into her weeping opening once more. Pounding out my love inside
her as she cried out and begged for more.

We
spent the night locked together in one form or the other. She even got her ass
fucked when I was calm enough to do it without hurting her. When she was too
tired and too sore to take me anymore for the night I took her into the shower
and cleaned us both up before putting her to bed. “Did mom feed you
sweetheart?” Fuck I’d forgotten to feed her. “Not hungry sleepy…love you Jake.”
She wrapped her arms around my neck and fell asleep just like that. “I love you
too precious girl, more than you’ll ever know.”

I
waited until her breathing grew deep and her body relaxed in slumber before
slipping from the bed. In the downstairs bathroom I cleaned and bandaged my
hand flexing my fingers to test their dexterity. Should be good enough for what
I had to do. Sneaking back up the stairs I took one last look at her lying
curled on her side, the pillow I’d just left clasped to her chest. Turning away
I headed down the stairs and out the back, it was best that I walk this one.
