Her legs were jelly like and wobbled when he let her drop on them and she was glad when he held her and pressed her into him.
"Talk to me next time." He said and it wasn't a question. He was telling her.
"Okay." She whispered in response, safe in the protective circle of his strong arms.
He kissed her hair and held her against him a little longer before he left her.
He dressed her back up until she had every piece of clothing back in place, everything except her ripped panties, and looked less ravaged.
She watched him dress, her eyes appreciating the muscles that were so defined and sculpted and begged to be explored.
"If you keep looking at me like that, we won't get any work done." He growled.
She blushed hard at his words and her sassy subconscious was down that road with her too instead of offering her a super sassy comeback.
Dinner with uncle Ferdie came around so fast.And Jojo was stuck deciding what to wear.Her fashion sense sucks and for the life of her she couldn't decide what looked good.she wanted to look good enough tonight hoping to leave the impression that she was still keeping her family afloat with uncle Ferdie.The man could get a little meddling if he thinks anything was so much as a little wrong.He was controlling like that.She stood at the foot of her bed, in her towel, considering the three options she's set out.You can never go wrong with a floral print, right?That's a black dress! Her subconscious snapped.Whatever.The other was a........maybe red, or was that pink, casual dinner dress.And finally, there was the one she was banking her hopes on.That snug fitting, off the off the shoulder gown that Jordan had left her the morning after that first night she'd spent here.She was really considering wearing it tonight.If only she hadn't been so stubborn and rejecting Jordan's ever
Jojo was the first of her party to arrive at the restaurant uncle Ferdie had picked.It looked classy and very chic and suited to his taste.Not hers though, she'd have preferred something more mundane and less expensive.And now, she was glad Jordan had made her dress up. She'd have looked like she'd lost her way if she come in anything she'd planned herself.The table uncle Ferdie had reserved was some kind of booth and it was directly next to the floor to ceiling glass wall that allowed a perfect view of the restaurant's beautiful exterior.She pulled out her phone from the small purse shed carried and tried contacting him.She needed to know that he was still coming.He'd after all been the one to call her earlier today to remind her of their scheduled dinner, drop off the necessary details and then immensely apologised for his inability to pick her up, hence th
Jordan knew the least wise thing he could do now would be to barge into the room.whoever was in there was no amateur and if he could get in, he had a fool proof escape already planned and if they went in without planning, they could loose him.Especially if he has someone on the inside as they suspected, it'd be easy pizzy.He wasn't going into this for a goose chase, he was aiming to capture the bastard.The transmission inhibitor that Adam had brought with him made room for quick planning."We need someone else in on this if we plan to snag him, and I do."He told Adam and the other man agreed easily, understanding why.They needed someone on the outside to apprehend their intruder incase he tries to be smart and use his escape.Their man on the outside would be their final surprise."I trust Joey." Adam replied in hi
The rest of the dinner was fine and like she'd expected it to go.But it didn't compare to the feeling of going home- to him, Jordan.Uncle Ferdie insisted on dropping her off at home and deep down she was glad.She didn't really want to wait for an ordered cab to arrive while whoever that man was could still possibly be around the restaurant's premises, waiting to pounce on her.She gave him the address of where they lived now, explaining to him again that it was her boss' home and was as safe and secured as can be posdible.He listened intently and slowly but surely, he gave in to letting them stay till they can figure something else out.He gave the address to his driver, a middle aged man with balding hair named Sylvester, and then held the door for her to get in.He asked about her job, and how she was coping and she had to remind him that she was already
Hands clamped down on Jojo's mouth, catching the intended scream."Shh baby, it's me, Jordan."Her heart beat started to calm as she realised it was realy Jordan and not some intruder in their home.But what was he doing coming out of........there?"J-Jordan?" She stuttered, when he finally removed his hand from her mouth."What's wrong ?" She asked, concerned."It's nothing, Jo. At least it's not something you should worry about now.""First, there's this guy, Joey, right outside my room door, watching over Riley. And now, you are popping out of floorboards, what do I need to know?"He looked a bit uncomfortable at her question but it was gone in a flash before she could call it out.There was something and she intended to find out exactly what it was.She let him lead her out of the room though, after he replaced
She went out of her mom's room feeling betrayed.Why didn't he call her like he promised to?She went back the way shed gone last night, if there was a reason that floorboard was suddenly removable, she intended to find out.And she intended to find out every other thing he might be hiding from her.So much for her leap of trust.She bumped in Brookly on her way."Oh God, I'm sorry Brooks. I wasn't paying attention where I was going.""It's no problem girl, I should have seen you coming, but I didn't." The older woman replied, smiling at her."Thank you." She replied with a smile.She was about leaving but she turned last minute."What happened here last night, Brooks?" She asked in a quiet voice that conveyed she knew something did, and was disappointed nobody told her."I don't know," The woman re
The cafe JoJo was waiting in had this shady look about it and she felt slightly uncomfortable sitting in it.As an off thought, she knew it'd be difficult for anybody to find her here.She liked it though because with the way she was feeling after learning of Jordan's betrayal, she wasn't sure she wanted to be found.At least not until she was ready to face his lying, betraying ass again.The only other person in the cafe, except herself and the Barrister, stood up and left the room.A rush of goosebumps coated her hands as she realizes the only people in the room were her and the really young looking barrister.She glanced at her watch again, wondering why officer Lucas was taking so much time to show up.She was only here in the first place because he'd asked her to be here for a little more questioning.He'd explai
Jordan was getting sick with evey second that passed since he'd discovered that JoJo had left.She wasn't returning any of his calls or texts or the numerous voicemails he'd left he was veering close to the end of his patience.That feeling that something wasn't right kept curling and sitting heavy in his gut and he knew it had everything to do with the mystery person she suddenly had to go see.And it also had to do with the fact that he had no idea where she was.He'd really messed up this time and she didn't look about ready to listen to his excuses.He should have called her, should have kept his promise to her.But he didn't and it's back to bite.He'd had his reasons but now, they didn't sound about worth it."Are you worried because of Jocie?"Riley's small voice pulled him out of his head and he lowered his eyes to loo
