Throbbing.
That was the first thing Megan noticed as she tried pulling her lids apart and open her eyes.
The Throbbing in her head hurt and made her wince and her hands hurt worse.
She felt groggy, probably from all the pain killers and anesthetics she'd been pumped full of.
Finally, there was a little success as her eyelids gave way a little and she could take in her surrounding.
A hospital room.
She was on a bed, and her body hurt like hell.
She tried to remember how she got here and why.
The memory wasn't quite clear at first but she was remembering.
It hurt to remember.
He'd come barging into her house and he'd asked her to give up what she had on him.
He and the two younger and uglier men he'd come with had beat her up and they had laughed while they did it.
When sh
Jojo felt a little lost after their visit to the doctor's office but Jordan was there, right beside her and taking good charge.The doctor's words sat like lead on her mind, heavy and very hard to digest.They picked Riley up from the kiddies waiting station that looked more like a mini toy war zone, before they went to see her mom.Her eyes had filled up again at the sight of the new white patch of her mom's right hand, covered in white.Seeing it made her feel like a failure.She'd failed to protect her family.Jordan was unmoving from beside her and his dominating presence filled the small room.Even in the small hospital room, he only had to stand and he'd exude the level of power other men fought to achieve.Stray and very distracting thought, Jo, don't you think? . We are sworn off the man, right?She shut the annoying v
The week went by so fast.The days turned into nights and one day morphed into the next.They were all the same for Jojo .And her routine remained the same through it.Now that her mom was awake more often, she's resigned to cooping herself up in the room with her from dusk to dawn.That little moment where her mom had cried and looked at her like she knew her was long gone now, only but a distant memory.If there was a chance she could have hat again, she wanted to be here when it happens.But Meghan had slipped back totally to her old self, leaving no sliver of hope for the daughter that was patiently waiting for her recovery.Sometimes, Jojo wondered if she hadn't read those tears wrong in the heat of her flying emotions.Maybe her mother had only cried because of the excruciating pain she was having to endure.
As promised, Meghan was released from the hospital the next day on the account that she's improved greatly and was doing well now.She was informed that they should be back in a week for check up and at the slightest sign of a relapse, she should be brought in immediately.Jojo was elated with the new but she was just as surprised too.They were being let go without clearing their bills, yet.This was a first.She asked the doctor about this and he only laughed at her question as if she'd only asked it in a bid to be funny."Of course we wouldn't be letting you go unless your bills are cleared." He said, taking in her confused expression before he finally got the message.She had no idea what was going on.The lingering smile died away from his face and he asked,"You don't know anything about this, do you?"
The next morning came much quicker than she'd have liked and Jojo had to give up trying to get herself to sleep a little more and got out of bed.She trudged her way into the bathroom to brush and wash her face.A glimpse of her self in the bathroom mirror showed how tired and exhausted she looked from lack of sleep.She'd been up most of the night with the disturbing thoughts and questions that were nagging her mind and had only been able to fall asleep in the early hours of this morning.Only to have the morning rays snatch that from her too.Her eyes had the beginnings of dark shadows and they were a little red.If nobody notices, then she'd be fine.The clothe she had on was one of the ones she'd gotten before she'd moved into her mother's hospital room and was fairly decent.After deciding it was something she could go out of her room and down
Jordan was already having a bad day even before his phone rang.If he'd had to spend one more minute with fucking Lisa Monroe, he'd have been in a jail somewhere awaiting murder trial.The girl was totally useless to him.He'd have realized much sooner that she did nothing in that office of hers except let people into his and take phone calls that she usually ended up forwarding to him if he hadn't hired Jojo barely a week after he took her on as his secretary.The other woman obviously have been carrying both their work load while she perfects her art of applying flawless make up and trying to dig her claws into him.The rich, playboy boss that would look good in her book of life achievements.She could kiss that thought good bye already.Her type repulsed him.And even if he didn't already have his eyes set on one very stubborn dark haired p
There was a shift in Jojo and Jordan's relationship after that day at her old house that she wasn't ready to face.Memories of that day still haunted her.She'd didn't like imagining what could have happened to her if it hadn't been Officer Lucks in that house.Goosebumps covered her visible skin as she fought the meqmory.And then Jordan had come and there had been difference in the way he'd held her and the way he'd kissed her right there on their back door step.Slow and tender and every much the kind of kiss a girl can easily get addicted to.She was half way in love with the man already and if she let him keep kissing her like he'd done that cold afternoon, it wouldn't be long before she fell through the remaining half way.He'd taken his time after holding her in his big arm that made her feel safer than she could ever remember feeling before.
His mouth was back on hers with no warning and no apology.His fingers deftly undid the zipper on her skirt and pushed the piece of clothing from her skin like he found it offensive, all the while still pinning her hands behind her with his big ones.She loved the strength of him against her weakness and the barely restrained anger in it.When she started loosing herself in the intoxicating pressure of his full lips against hers, pushing the tip of her tongue against that predominant slit in his lower lip, he broke the kiss, roughly dragging his mouth from hers.She helplessly followed his withdrawing mouth, reluctant to let go of its mastered, rough bite against hers.He smirked and released her altogether. She whimpered at the loss of contact with his solid muscles and warmth."Get on your knees." He commanded, his deep voice husky.It was the perfect balance between commanding and sweet and rather than scare her, it aroused her and made her dripping pussy even wetter.His hand guid
Sleeping with Jordan McGrath was a hard memory to erase.He taught her body the true meaning of pleasure and passion.That evening, on her desk, had been memorable, intoxicating, branding and even now she couldn't stomach the thought of having any other cock that wasn't his inside her.The man had her ruined for other men.His voice, his eyes, the way he'd looked and the way he'd looked at her were all imprinted in her memory in permanent ink and try all she may, they weren't going away.The memory of his beautiful girlfriend with her flowing blonde hair and vogue cover worthy body had given her the worst crash landing back to her sense and she'd needed that.She fought hard to suppress her fast flaming feelings for her boss and she was failing miserably.He was good with Riley, playful and laughing and her little sister worshipped him.Except for M
