Jerome put his hand on her arm to lend his support. The air was suddenly filled with the terrifying rattling sound of a rattlesnake. He cautioned her in a tone that was hoarse and strained, "Don't move, sweetheart." "You must not move." She mumbled "Oh god" under her breath as a rush of adrenaline coursed through her body, prompting her to flee the terrifying situation. She managed to keep her mouth shut. "In what location is it?"However, he did not respond verbally to my question. Jerome was able to draw and shoot his gun with remarkable dexterity and quickness. Her muscles tensed up in preparation for the snake's possible strike, in the event that it was unsuccessful. Instead, she discovered that she was encircled by his powerful arms, and he was running his palm over the back of her head. "It's finished. It has expired." Anna gave him a quick blink as the words registered in her mind, and then she immediately turned to look at the proof. Jerome activated the flashlight he had give
"Damn. What the devil happened to them? Philip made a demand. Anna could make out his face even through the branches despite the distance between them. "Just chill out," the other man said. "They are now within striking distance thanks to the shot. If they have not yet passed away, we will see to it that they do so before they reach their destination."Relax?" The tone of Philip's speech was one of complete and utter disbelief. "My family, including my wife and my children, as well as everyone else that is important to me, has been put in danger.""Pedro is very good at getting what he wants, regardless of the cost. You ought to have accepted the money that he offered you and then gotten the heck out of there. I did." Anna had the impression that she had been struck in the stomach. To bend down that low was nothing unusual for someone like Pedro, but the length of his reach was absolutely alarming. She would have to go into hiding while the case was being tried if she wanted to continu
When we get farther into the cave, it will be completely dark in there. Just lean against the wall for a moment while I unlock the entrance to the secret refuge. There is illumination, food, and supplies available at that location. There is still some time before our appointment with Jack, so let's get started.Her complexion changed dramatically in an instant. "Are you suggesting that we go into that cave to hide?"His brows lowered in surprise. “Right. Below the surface, there is a cave that has been concealed. Even if they thoroughly investigate the cavern, they won't be able to find us."Well, that's..." There was a brief pause. "I guess I didn't say I'm claustrophobic?"When he finally succeeded in getting her into the cave, he kept her close enough to the opening so that she wouldn't be entirely enveloped in darkness. This allowed her some time to get used to the confinement of the space. HeHe pushed her up against the wall with his full weight. "Restrain yourself. I'll be there i
Anyway... he continued to have desire for her. He didn't just want her; he needed to have her in his life. Only this once, he vowed to himself, He would make it his business to ensure that she relished each and every second of it. The kind of failure that was brought on by one's own actions was the kind that Anna detested the most. Despite the fact that her life had a lot of order and control, she had always struggled with claustrophobia. In order to cope with it, she had studied several relaxation techniques. Even though she was under some light sedation, she was still able to fly without experiencing any anxiety. She had even been able to board a plane. She could do the same thing with this blasted cave, and it would be a sign of true development for her if she did it without using drugs.She thought to herself, "Easier said than done" as she continued to stare into the abyss into which Jerome had fallen and waited breathlessly for the light that he had promised. Her thoughts q
His attitude changed to one of seriousness, and he began to stroke her arms with his powerful hands. This caused her to get goose bumps and made her realize how chilly the tunnel was, despite the heat of Texas. "Would you mind if I checked on you in a moment?"No. Don't just walk away from me down here. Please don't suffocate us in this teeny space. Suddenly, the cave had the atmosphere of a crowded phone booth rather than a cozy little bedroom. She forced herself to swallow as she fought the temptation to scream for help and demand to be brought back up. "Yes," she lied, attempting to grin but ultimately failing to do so. "Everything is good now. I'm okay."He didn't appear to be convinced, and he moved away from her in an awkward manner. She repeated, in response to the lingering uncertainty in his gaze, "I'm OK," and she detested the fact that he evidently believed she required reassuranceHer voice got severe. "And please, stop staring at me like I'm a helpless little ki
She hurriedly sat down with her legs splayed out in front of her on the rocky ground, trying to avoid falling over. She was unable to move since she was drenched, and she did not want to ruin the mattress. She propped her head up on the wall behind her and looked up at the ceiling while she did so. Could it possibly give way? Should it, like the apartment floor had done so many years earlier, fall on top of her? No. This was not an effective method for calming down.Anna clenched her eyes tight and concentrated on a thought that she hoped would be calming. Birds. Flowers. Sunrises. Instead, a picture of Jerome's lovely ass in those dark jeans sprang into her head while she was thinking about him. Then there was the manner in which he had grabbed her as she had jumped, as well as that seductive slide down her tough body. She let her thoughts run wild as she imagined about taking off his damp shirt and inspecting those well-defined biceps and strong abs that she'd felt through his cloth
She inquired, "Does he know where we are now?" while simultaneously being worried for their wellbeing and the delicate nature of the topic they were discussing.He reassured her that "no one knows where we are except for us," and the assurance in his voice helped alleviate some of her anxieties, though they were still present.She wore a frown. I had the impression that he was going to meet us."At a site not too far away."She gave a sigh of relief and nodded.They locked gazes, and the sexual tension in the room increased as dramatically as if it had been fired into the room from a cannon. After the sudden charge, silence descended between them as it felt very heavy. Because Jerome was focusing his attention on her with such intensity, she had the impression that he could see her soul and discover any secrets that weren't already contained in her file. He didn't say a word as he inched his way closer.Instantaneously, Anna's heart started racing as she anticipated his contact and hi
Jerome gave her a tantalizing kiss while leaning into her and caressing her lips with his own in a way that left her wanting more. He said to himself in a low voice, "Anger can be a potent aphrodisiac." "If you put your mind to it, I'm sure you can come up with some solutions to make things fair."This resulted in the issuing of the challenge. Which way will you go?Should she remain in this cave and allow her fear to take control, or should she show Agent Jerome Sandro how much out of his sexual league he truly was?She smiled seductively at him for a fraction of a second before gently biting the bottom of his lip with her teeth. "Shall we get started, if you don't mind?"She swiftly slid away from him and put her back against the wall as she evaded his grasp. "Get up on your feet and strip off your clothes.""Get up on your feet and take your clothes off." A challenge was given when Anna repeated her comments and allowed them to hang in the air for a while. She was aware that Jerome
