I Want Her Bare, Always Chapter 25
CharlesThe car came to stop beneath a flickering streetlight. I got out, the gravel, broken glass, and grime of the warehouse district crunching under my shoes.It’s a depressing place, but it’s also quiet—perfect for my meetings and for all the violence. We’re parked in front of two small, dark warehouses. The door to one opens. Light floods out across the gloomy parking lot as Brad stepped out. “Are they good?”“Good is such a strong word,” he answered. “Alive fits better.”I swallowed hard. “They are all scared,” Brad added “But safe. Doctor Fernandez is looking over them now, but they seem okay. They’re eating.”They must be thinking they’re in for another torture but I assure you that’s not going to happen. I’ll need to give them that reassurance. “Stay right here, man. If anyone is to come in, your guns stay out here.”“Of course.”My brow furrowed. “What about the others?”His smile twisted as he turned and nodded to the second warehouse where the children we recovered were

CharlesI sat at my desk, trying to work through the laundry list of e-mails I’d accumulated since leaving New York. I’ve got people for this but I’m pretty much heavy on confidentiality. I need every information cross-checked and sealed. The hums from the side made me turn, and there she was. Jaxen was standing at the bookshelves in my office, the hem of my T-shirt rising up her thigh and over the curve of her ass as she reached the third shelf.Damn it.“Hey,” she said causally, not even looking in my direction. Does she have any idea what could happen?I blinked and refocused on my computer screen, mentally hitting myself for letting her come in here. I didn’t want her to ask a bunch of questions about Ivan, my work, or the recent murders. She may not know it yet but that's confidential information that can get her killed.Just so she stays within earshot, I’d told her to hang out, grab a book, and read or work on the spare laptop if she needed.However, she’d quickly turned i
I Want Her Bare, Always Chapter 23
JaxI had just stepped out of the shower when the door opened.I didn’t hear the knock because there wasn’t one.Steam still curled around the bathroom, clinging to my skin like a second layer. My hair dripped water down my back, and I was halfway through reaching for my towel when I felt it. That shift in the air. That heavy, unmistakable presence that didn’t belong to me.I turned sharply.“Can you not knock?” I snapped.Charles stood in the doorway like he had every right to be there. Like this wasn’t my space, my moment, my body still warm and exposed from the water. His shirt clung faintly to him, darkened with sweat, his hair slightly damp at the edges like he’d just come from working out. He didn’t look away. Didn’t even pretend to.I should be used to this by now…him invading my space and acting like it was nothing big.“No,” he said. “I can’t.”Of course he couldn’t.I grabbed the towel and wrapped it around myself tightly, my fingers curling into the fabric as irritation fla
I Want Her Bare, Always Chapter 22
CharlesI was finishing my last set when my phone rang.The sound cut through the steady rhythm of the gym downstairs, sharp and intrusive, and something in my chest tightened before I even reached for it. I wiped my hands on the towel, irritation already creeping in, and checked the screen.Jax.I frowned. She should have known that I trained at this hour. Even if I was vague in telling her where I was going, she at least knew that I didn’t like interruptions unless something was wrong.For some seconds, I stared at the phone, watching as it rang, the loud shrilling sound piercing through the room.I contemplated ignoring it. She wasn't anything special to me so I could simply act like I didn't notice it.I answered anyway, especially as I thought about how she would not have called me unless it was either urgent or important.“There was someone here,” she repeated, her voice tense, breath uneven. “Do you think they came after me?”The word snapped something awake in me.I straight

JaxThe house didn’t feel like a house.It felt staged. Too clean. Too deliberate. Every surface looked chosen, every corner measured like someone had decided comfort was optional. Nothing was out of place, and that somehow made it worse. It was the kind of place meant to impress or intimidate, never to relax in.It shouldn't surprise me though…Charles was someone who basked in seeing people cower with fear so obviously he'd choose a place like this.I walked through it slowly, barefoot against cold stone, my fingers brushing the back of a chair I didn’t plan on sitting on. The silence pressed in on me, thick and heavy, like it was waiting for something to break it.It wasn't something I was accustomed to.Ever since I got stuck with Charles, I've never once dealt with a silence as thick and deafening as this was.Charles wasn’t here.The thought repeated itself in my head like a warning I couldn’t shut off.Before leaving, he'd muttered something about having to go check out some st

JaxThe blood wasn't on my hands.That was the first thing I thought of and I was really grateful for it. It would have made me absolutely terrified.The second was that I could still smell it.It clung to the air like a memory that refused to fade, sharp and metallic, mixing with cologne and gun smoke and the echo of a sound I couldn’t get out of my head, the dull finality of a body hitting the floor.I’ve seen death before.This wasn't the first time so I was exactly shocked to see a dead body.I reminded myself of that as the car moved through the city, lights blurring past the tinted windows. I’ve seen death up close. I’ve watched a woman die once, watched life drain out of her eyes while everyone else pretended it was just business.But this was different.Because this time, he did it for me.Charles sat beside me, relaxed in a way that made my stomach churn. Jacket back on. Expression unreadable. As if he didn’t just end a man’s life because that man’s hand touched my ass like
