Chapter 27
Chapter 26
Bree jerked awake a little and she found herself sprawled over Justin. She felt a little sore from what she now knew as making love. She let out a soft sigh and slowly scooted away from Justin’s relaxed arms.
He was breathing in smooth, deep breaths, letting her know he was still asleep. She moved from the bed and gathered her clothes and dressed hurriedly. She went to the bags and found a pair of white tennis shoes.
She slipped into them and made her way to the door. She laid her hand on the knob when a hand reached out from behind her and gripped her wrist gently.
“Where do you think you’re going, babe?”
She hung her head a little, “I was going to go back to save Marnie and the others.”
He turned her back toward him, “Baby, that’s not a good idea and I can’t let you, I need you to go somewhere with me tomorrow, now please come back to bed.”
“But-”
“No, no buts, come on.” He ran his other hand up her arm then tilted her head up gently by her chin, dipping his head, he caught her lips slowly and gently.
It set her alive quickly, the hand he was holding onto laced with his as she kissed him back, the feeling from earlier when he’d kissed her like this came rushing back to her at full force. She whimpered into his mouth as her knees grew weak.
His strong arm came around her waist and lifted her with ease as she laced her fingers together behind him neck and wrapped her legs around his waist.
He slowly pulled away, making her want the contact back right away, “Now, are you coming back to bed?” his lips grazed against hers as he spoke, making her feel as if she was on fire.
“Yes.” She whispered back.
His lips slammed back to hers, causing her to moan low in her throat. She felt him lift her up from the floor, she tightened her arms around his neck as he made his way back to the bed. He gently laid her down and she felt his arousal grind against her and she arched into it.
He slowly locked those smoky gray eyes on her that mirrored how she felt. As he walked away to the drawers she watched every muscle move along his back.
She nibbled her lip as he made his way back to her. She hated that she wanted him again, but she didn’t know how to fight it, or that she even wanted to.
Her eyes never left him as he crawled back onto the bed, his smoky gray eyes locked on her gaze as he placed his hands on either side of her head as he leaned toward her.
“Promise me you won’t go back there, Bree, I don’t want you anywhere near there again, I just want you safe.”
“Justin, I can’t make that promise, please don’t make me do that, if I can get them, then that’s what I’m going to do.”
“Bree,” he sighed leaning his forehead down to hers. “I can’t lose you.”
“Then help me, let me do this, with you thee nothing would happen.”
“Bree, watching you fall of that bridge was enough to last me a life time, I don’t want to do it ever again." He rasped out.
“I got away once, I can do it again, trust me.”
“Bree,”
“Justin, please?”
His lips slammed down to hers, rougher than earlier but still made her let out a low moan as she laid her hands against his scruffy cheeks. It brushed against her hands, making her tremble as his cheeks moved beneath her hands and their lips moved against each other’s.
She moaned again as he nudged her thighs apart and lay between them. She almost let out a scream as he nipped her bottom lip and buried himself into her, “What happened to this being a bad idea?”
He pulled back and pushed into her again, “So is going to save the girls and you still want to do that.”
She arched up into him unable to control it, “Yeah, I guess you’re right.” She murmured, tightening her legs around him as he began the hard, steady, intense rhythm but she enjoyed every time he slammed back into her. This was so different than earlier but it was amazing. She wanted this to last the rest of her life. Was this what being loved felt like? Was this what loving someone felt like? She hoped to find out.

“When will you have them ready to be moved, my boss is telling me the sooner the better.”
“Give me two days,” he spoke into the phone. “Two days to figure out a couple of things, then call and we’ll make the arrangements for the drop off.”
“Are you sure it can’t be sooner?”
“I’m sure, but nothing will upset the deal, my partner will make sure of it, we won’t let you down.”
“That better be the case, my boss isn’t happy when he’s let down, understood?”
“Crystal clear.” He ended the call, anger churning his gut, he wasn’t about to let any of this get messed up, all because of one stupid girl who ratted everything out to the cops and this Justin guy.
If he didn’t have his partner then he would have had to kiss this plan and the easy money goodbye. Good thing the cops were too stupid to figure anything out. But, the one who had one six nine, he was a different story, he would cause problems just like her. He jumped when he heard the door slam.
He turned quickly from the mantel he’s just placed the burner phone on, “What’re you doing here, do you want this all to be ruined?” he demanded of the man in the black trousers and matching dress shirt.
“You’re jeopardizing it more by letting the first girl escape, she doesn’t remember much about her past, but she sure remembers how to get here, you’re lucky I’ve been able to lead these idiots away from here.” The man said a little cocky as his brown eyes let off a glare.
He glared back, “Like you came up with that plan.”
“But I’m holding up my end of the bargain now, aren’t I?”
“And I’m not?”
“Not really, you’re delivering five girls not six, one and a half million for each girl, and now the cut is reduced to two and half each, that’s half a million and that’s unacceptable.”
“Then cut out the third man.”
“Ha, he won’t let us walk if that happens, you need to fix this and right now.” The glare turned even harsher. “Either get her back or I blow this whole scheme out of the water.”
He watched the kid storm out of the building, slamming the door again. He rubbed a hand over his head roughly. This all started five stupid years ago. Now this mess was getting out of control. How could he take out the out of town cop and get the very first victim back?
He began to stew as he sunk down into the old, raggedy red clothed chair.

Justin stirred a little as the sound of the loud birds and just as loud commotion from the streets. His eyes slowly popped open as he fought the fog that clawed at his brain. He felt the body shiver as it moved closer to him.
He glanced down at their naked intertwined limbs. He smiled as he managed to pull the blanket up over them and wrapped his arms around her tighter, trying to fight the goosebumps that rose along Bree’s creamy skin. He pressed his lips to her just as pale forehead. He had to get her out in the sun more after all of this was over.
