Naomi

I turned my head so that I could eye Rip. Was he jealous? He sounded jealous. But if he was, why was he jealous? He had been just fine in the car, and now he was acting like something was wrong. I studied his face for a moment before taking Tom’s hand, noting the way he narrowed his eyes on our joined hands. Was he jealous of Tom? Only one way to test it out.

“I’d like to introduce you to my boyfriend, Tom. Tom this is Rip,” I announced, making Rip’s face darken with anger, while Tom gasped next to me.

“Rip? As in the Rip? Holy shit, man! It’s so nice to finally meet you! Omi has told me so much about you!” Tom exclaimed as he held out his hand to shake Rip’s, who looked

  • More Than Just Her Stepfather   Tornado of Emotions

    An hour later we were walking out of the precinct with Jon, Caroline, and Jenny by our sides. The police had kept Candice in custody, not that I was surprised in the slightest. She had been busted trying to sell Jenny to me, and that poor girl was very obviously traumatised. Between that and what Jenny told the police, I had no doubt that Candice wouldn’t be seeing the light of day any time soon. Nor did she deserve to. We stopped beside my car, and Naomi immediately pulled away from me to wrap her arms around Jenny when she burst into tears. I swallowed hard as she clung to Naomi, who gave me a worried look, silently begging me to do something.“Jenny?” I called softly. “Would it help if you stayed with Naomi tonight?”Jenny turned her attention to me, and I instantly wanted to go back inside to throttle the bitch that had the nerve to hurt her in such a way. “Y-yes,” Jenny sniffled.I nodded. “Caroline and Jon will take you to our house. We can spend the night in the cottage behind

    As we drove to the precinct, I texted Raj and Caroline to request their presence. I knew Raj would make sure that Naomi got the best representation she could have, while Caroline was a foster mom, and considering this girl no longer had a place to go now, I wanted to make sure that the county wouldn’t have to scramble to find her somewhere to go. I had already spoken to Caroline before we left work, and she had been completely thrilled at the prospect of having another foster child in her home, especially since her last one aged out a few months before.She had been absolutely devastated, but since she was one of my favorite people, and I had been blessed to be in Ryan’s life, I had paid for an apartment for a year from him, and given him money to go to college. It was literally the least I could do for her. She always came running when I needed her to. Besides, I liked the kid. He was the kind of kid I had always dreamed that Naomi would end up with, but not now. I wanted her.When w

  • More Than Just Her Stepfather   The Start of Retribution

    RipThe minute the doorknob started to turn, I felt the change in Naomi. Her body stiffened and I could feel the little angry vibrations that shook her body. I wasn’t sure about what was going to happen but the moment the door opened, I could see the trembling knees that peaked out from behind the lower half of it and I instantly knew that it was the girl that Candice had told me was in her custody. As Naomi backed Candice away from the door, I stepped inside, causing my heart to immediately break when I saw the young girl on her knees beside the door with her nudity on complete display. I yanked my suit jacket off, immediately wrapping it around the girl’s shoulders before helping her up and leading her out of the house, while Naomi started yelling at Candice.Brian jumped out of his car with his partner by his side and after reassuring the girl that she was safe with the officers, I spun around to rush back into the house. I needed to get back to Noami before she killed Candice. I

    Naomi“Naomi, please come down here. I would like to speak with you,” Professor Demetri called out, immediately causing whispers to start.I bit back a groan as I finished packing up my things before heading down the stairs to her lectern. “Yes, Professor Demetri?”“Are you alright, Naomi? You seemed distracted today,” she told me.I sighed as I shook my head. “Not really.”“Do you want to talk about what’s going on?” she asked.“Have you spoken to Rip today?” I inquired. “No. Do I need to?”I shook my head. “No. This is something I have to do by myself.”She tilted her head as she studied my face. “Alright, just be safe, okay? Also, if you need to speak about anything, don’t hesitate to contact me.” She reached into her pocket before holding out a business card to me. “My cell phone number is on the back.”I smiled softly as I took it from her. “You already gave me your phone number.”“I know, but I’m hoping the more I reiterate that you can contact me that you will actually contact

    Candice’s head immediately snapped around to look at me before she rushed around Caroline’s desk toward me. When she reached for me, I took a step back and she let her hand fall away from me. She pouted as she looked up at me.“I was hoping we could talk,” she told me flirtatiously, puffing out her chest which immediately left me glaring at her with fury in my eyes.She had got to be kidding me! I hadn’t even seen so much as a wisp of her hair in years, and when I finally did, she thought that I was just going to fall at her feet? Maybe I would have just to see Naomi again, but Naomi was now mine and there wasn’t a damned thing that Candice could do about it! I wouldn’t let her. Especially not now that I knew what she had done to Naomi when I left. I hated this woman, and I had hoped that I would never have to see her again, but since she was here, maybe I could get information from her to help Brian with his investigation. I looked past her to meet Caroline’s eyes.“Could you get me

  • More Than Just Her Stepfather   Following Through

    RipAt 5:30 AM, I rolled out of bed the moment my phone started to vibrate on my bedside table. I didn’t want to leave Naomi. Especially not early, but I had to. I had made a promise to my little princess, and I was determined to follow through. I never made promises unless I planned to keep them, and for Becky, it didn’t matter how early I had to wake up to make sure I never let her down. After a quick shower and getting dressed, I walked over to the bed to brush Naomi’s hair off her face, loving the way she smiled a little in her sleep.God, she was absolutely stunning, and I was lucky that she was all mine. After our fight, all I did was hold her while she told me a little more about what happened to her after I left. Every word that she said made me hate my ex-wife even more. I couldn’t believe the shit she had put Naomi through. Before our little argument the night before, it frustrated me a lot that she was always so ready to push those other men’s sins off on me, but now I unde
