Chapter Ten - Bonding
Chapter Ten
“He’s got a great ass!” Kim said with a knowing wink.
“Well, now this I’ve got to see,” Mandy added,
Alyssa felt a surge of affection for the sisters who had ignored her previous poor behavior. Not only had they treated her with kindness, but they acted as if they were longtime friends.
Alyssa cringed as she thought of how she had run to Nate with all of her problems. She hadn’t given two fucks about how it might appear with his new wife.
And despite all of that, Kim and Mandy had comforted her and made her laugh more in the last hour than she had in the previous year.
“Am I wrong?” Kim challenged, looking to Alyssa to confirm her statement.
Alyssa thought of Agent Tabor’s ass. Damn, there wasn’t one thing about the man that wasn’t enticing.
Shaking her head, she answered, “His ass is something to write home about.”

Chapter ElevenMuch to Alyssa’s horror, her body chose that moment to hiccup. Her newly manicured hands quickly covered her mouth as she blushed prettily. “I’m not drunk.”Scott’s eyes softened and a slight smile teased his lips. “I’m not shaming you, Alyssa. I was just surprised. I hope you had a good time with Mrs. Brand and Mrs. Livingston?”Alyssa nodded. “Yes, they were lovely. It seemed, at least for a short time period, that everything was normal again.”“I can imagine,” he said dryly. “I don’t suppose that you want to tell me what caused things to go off course?”Alyssa felt that wall she’d erected between them slam back into place. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. It was just some random break in.”Scott’s lips pursed as he eyed her warily. Instead of pushing her further as he had the night before,

Chapter TwelveAlyssa’s heart felt like it was pounding so hard that it could come straight out of her chest. She was tempted, horribly tempted, to share what had happened with her uncle. However, it wasn’t something that you talked about out on the city streets.“Tell me,” Scott encouraged, taking her hand. “Let me help you.”“You can’t help me,” Alyssa choked out. “I’m not just being evasive or acting like a spoiled brat. You don’t know, and I can’t tell you. Look, let’s just go back to your apartment.”Scott hesitated only a moment before nodding and escorting Alyssa to where the car was parked.Neither spoke as Scott made his way to the driver’s seat and locked the car doors. Alyssa noted the way Scott checked the mirrors and surrounding buildings. His back was ramrod straight as he started the car and pulled away from the curb.Was he upset

Chapter ThirteenThird Trimester: Night Sweats. You might think those are only reserved for menopausal women but think again, my pregnant friend. We aren’t talking about merely being damp. Some women experience sheet-drenching, pajama-soaking night sweats. Never fear, there are some ways to help alleviate the symptoms. Stay hydrated, avoid heavy or restrictive clothing, sleep on a towel, and keep a clean sheet handy.The closer they were getting to the baby coming the more anxious Nate was becoming. He tried to hide it from Kim. After all, he reasoned, Elliot hadn’t turned into a complete idiot before Charlotte was born, had he? No, and Nate wouldn’t either.Tucking his latest parenting book into his briefcase, Nate opened the door to their apartment and called out to his wife.“Kim? I’m home. Where are you?”A muffled reply came back. “In here.”Nate kicked his shoes o

Chapter FourteenDr. Jarvis exited surgery and headed down to the emergency room nurse station to check in. “Were you able to find any family for Mr. Tabor and Ms. Vauban?”Alexis, head nurse, nodded and said, “Sort of. We attempted to contact Ms. Vauban’s uncle, but he seems to be unavailable. However, I was able to reach someone who put me in touch with her lawyer.”Dr. Jarvis winced. “Surely she’s got somebody out there. What about Mr. Tabor?”“He has a sister coming in from Ohio, who should be here in the next few hours. Mr. Tabor just happens to be special agent Scott Tabor in the white-collar unit. His handler’s already here and swearing up a storm in the ER waiting room. Apparently, he’s the one who connected Ms. Vauban with Elliot Brand, and from there they found her lawyer.Dr Jarvis’s brows shot up. “Elliot Brand, of Brand Enterprises? I wonder what the connec

Chapter Fifteen“Nonsense, I have power of attorney over my niece. I decide where she will receive the care she needs.”Kim glanced up at the clock. It had been nearly a half an hour since Frank Vauban stormed into the emergency room demanding that he see his niece. He had threatened just about every kind of retribution if they didn’t hand her over to him.Sadly, he wasn’t holding all the cards.Another agent strode into the ER, flashing his credentials. “I’m Agent Jackson. I work with Tyrone and Scott. I think I have the basics of what happened here, but if someone will kindly give me a refresher?”After Kim relayed what she knew, Agent Jackson asked, “Does Vauban have power of attorney over Ms. Vauban’s medical care?” Tyrone asked.“No,” Kim stated firmly. “Of course, you would need to speak with my husband for the details. Alyssa said that Frank has some kind
His to Protect: Billionaire's Secret Agent Chapter Sixteen - The Grind
Chapter Sixteen “I didn’t expect to see you here,” Freddy said as Kim walked around the counter at The Grind and tucked her purse away. Snagging an apron, she walked straight to the pastry case and pulled out two fudgy brownies. Freddy cocked a brow. “Don’t judge,” Kim replied right before taking a large bite. Then, moaning like a porn star with her eyes closed, Kim managed to utter, “Oh my God, this is amazing.” Freddy cleared his throat. “Um, Kim, it’s just a brownie.” Her eyes popped open. “This is hardly just a brownie. It’s a chocolaty, fudgy nugget of goodness that brings happiness to my life.” “Huh,” Freddy replied, not knowing what else to say. He watched her devour the first brownie and eyed the second one speculatively. “Lately, it’s seemed as if there have been few things that give me pleasure, and before you go all guy on me and interpret that statement sexually, I will stop you. Freddy lifted his hands as
His to Protect: Billionaire's Secret Agent Chapter Seventeen - Calm your tits
Chapter SeventeenCarrying two bags full of presents and holding a dozen pink roses, Nate pushed inside The Grind. The familiar sound of popular hits being played as instrumental pieces hit his ear. Carefully, he began to set things down, expecting to see his wife at any moment. “Kim,” he called out.Instead, a kid in his late teens was there instead. His dark hair was greasy and pushed back off his forehead, and his face looked as if he needed to shave every six months or so. He looked like he could use a few meals, and as if he hadn’t quite grown into his frame.One thing was for certain, he shouldn’t have been in Kim’s coffee shop.“Who in the hell are you?” Nate demanded.The kid glanced up at him from his phone, all the while smirking at Nate as if he had a secret that he wasn’t willing to share.“Calm your tits, man. Frankie has a message for you.” The kid's voice held a not

Chapter EighteenKim lay awake late in the night, wondering if she had done the right thing. Nate’s arm was entwined with her own, cradling her stomach. The baby chose that moment to kick, as if he knew his parents were just on the other side.Maybe it was the pregnancy that had swayed her decision, but whatever it was, Kim couldn’t allow charges to be pressed against Alexander. That was the kid’s name, Alexander Robert Stephens. He was sixteen years old and a product of the foster care system. He’d run away from the last placement six months ago.The things he had said to her at The Grind kept rotating over and over in her mind. He couldn’t have known what her upbringing was like. His anger reminded Kim of how she’d often felt as a child. It seemed as if she and Mandy were the only ones going home to a crack house with abusive parents.“Hey, are you awake?” Nate whispered groggily.Kim smiled. &ldq
