The Laurel Springs Emergency Response Team Series Chapter 17
RansomThirty more minutes into this twelve-hour shift and I get to go home and see Stelle. Menace and I are making one last lap around town, before Nick comes on to relieve me, when I get behind a vehicle with expired tags. It's such a small mistake, most of the time it's because people either don't have the money to get it done, or they just overlook it. Most law enforcement will tell you though, this is how you sometimes catch the worst criminals. "You gonna stop him?" Menace asks as I see the expired date.It's my call and I'm completely aware of that. Even though Menace is my superior he will totally respect my decision. Something in my gut tells me to pull this car over, and I've always trusted my gut. Keying my radio, I give dispatch the plate number, let them know there are three occupants, and wait to see if anything comes back on the plate."Ransom, the car isn't reported as stolen, but the owner of this vehicle is showing a suspended license out of Birmingham and ha

StellaThis kiss is everything a kiss should be. Passionate, sweet, tingle-inducing. The sweep of his tongue against mine is enough to make me wet. He owns me without words. The pressure of his lips against mine, the feel of his body spreading my thighs, his fingers denting my flesh. Ransom Thompson owns me, and when he breaks the kiss, I'm panting, fisting his hair in between my fingers, grinding against him as I rest my back against the wall."Damn, Stelle." The deep timbre of his voice washes over me like a wave crashing against the shore, leaving the bubbles in the sand behind as it rolls back out. Goosebumps appear all over my skin, causing my nipples to peak, and a shiver to run completely through my body as I listen to that kiss-drunk voice of his. "I've wanted that kiss all day.""Me too, handsome, me too."His hands travel further around my thighs, holding on tightly as he turns us from the wall. "As badly as I want you right now, I really need a damn shower. I've been

Stella"Looks like you had a good night."A smile spreads across my face as I hear the voice behind me in the line at the Quick Mart. I left Ransom's with just enough time to grab some coffee and still be able to make it to the office on time. Taking a drink, I hope it cures some of the exhaustion I feel, thanks to my late night. Truth is, I wouldn't change it. It was hard leaving Ransom this morning. But it'll be worth it to see the guy behind me. Turning, I face my brother, Nick.What's weird is I never thought I'd have a brother. My parents were happy with me, and then having tried for years afterward, were content with me being an only child. Until, fate intervened, like it seems to do with the Keplers. I can still remember the day he came to live with us. He was so quiet, scared of everything, and called Dad, Sir. It took him months to get comfortable, but we never gave up. I can still remember the night Dad came home from his shift, him quietly telling Mom and me about t

Ransom"Wanna tell me why you wanted to hang tonight?" I ask Nick as we sit in the backyard, watching some brush I've removed from my fence-line burn. We're both nursing beers, but he hasn't been talking much. If I don't move it along, we may here until the sun comes up, and I may never figure out what the fuck is going on in his head. "Not that I mind, but it sounded urgent, and now that you're here, you haven't said ten words."Looking over, I watch as he drains his beer, crushes the can, and throws it in the fire. It's obvious he's conflicted, but he's not ready to talk about it yet. He cracks open another beer and has a seat next to me, letting his arms dangle between his legs. He sighs deeply, running a hand over his jaw. He hasn't shaved, which is unlike him. He isn't like me, a little lazy most of the week; he's more on the clean-shaven side. That is enough to worry me slightly about what is bothering him. "Kels made a move on me last night," he finally speaks, almost low

StellaR: What are you up to on this lovely day.Glancing out the window of the clinic, I have to laugh. It's been raining for the past two days, which has made it difficult for us to see each other. More wrecks means more hours, which means my man has been pulling some overtime, and that's drastically cut into my staying over. Even when he comes home it's very late, and both of us do need our sleep sometimes.S: Finishing up some reports I have to do, then I'm heading to pick up Molly and Levi for Kels. R: Are you watching those little hellraisers?S: LOL! No. I'm taking them over to the school for Ruby. I guess Caleb's working, and she's going to start packing on her room today. According to Kels the transition of the jobs can't come fast enough.R: Yeah, I had lunch with Caleb this afternoon, and he seems pretty excited about the possibilities this will open up for them as a family. It's gotta be hard.S: Being with people is hard, throwing in responsibilities makes i

StellaI'm playing with the paper of my straw wrapper as I wait for Nick to meet me at The Café. Miracle of all miracles we've made time for one another, just like we said we would. A week later than originally planned, but better late than never. He's running late, which isn't unusual for when we meet each other like this. He knows I'll wait, and I know I'll be waiting. It's our own little thing.Leigh comes over to the booth I'm sitting in, and I can't help but notice how Ransom has her smile. "Hey Stella, how's it going?""Not bad," I answer, nervously rubbing on the pearl studs in my ears. For some reason, I think this woman should be able to tell I've been sleeping with her son. "Just been busy. I'm going back to school," I announce to her, an edge of excitement in my voice.There had been a late drop out in the nursing program, and because my family is well-connected in the community, and Aunt Blaze is who she is, some strings had been pulled and I'd been accepted. "I

Stella"Are you kidding me?" I try the doorknob of one of the bathrooms in my grandparent's house, but it's locked. Karsyn comes up behind me, sighing when she sees me give it a turn. "I swear, there's not enough bathrooms for everyone," she groans. "I thought we'd be fine since some people have left now that we've all started swimming." I gesture down to my bikini. "Obviously not." Her tone is dry, her look is pointed. "Oh fuck it," I sigh, hotfooting it down to what looks like a junk drawer in their kitchen. Rifling through, I find the keys I'm looking for. "Bingo."Quickly I run out to the backyard, making my way to the pool house. Not everybody has keys to this, or know where they are. Only our family, so I'm confident no one is in this bathroom, and I can get in. The door is still locked as I try it, and I throw up a thank you, as I get inside and try the doorknob. Unlocked. Hot damn, now I can take care of business.Coming out of the bathroom, I walk over to the

Ransom"Here!" I command Rambo as the two of us walk into the Laurel Springs Police Department. We're about to go on-shift and he's excited. Always is as soon as he sees me put my shoes on and grab my vest. He's a work dog and loves to do so. The minute we pull into the parking lot, he's whining, dying to get out of my truck, and barking with excitement. When I let him out, he's like a child on Christmas morning, running, sniffing everything, saying hello to my fellow officers. Everyone loves Rambo, and he loves them. But I still have to make sure he can obey, and part of that is making sure we go on-shift on time."So…" Menace drags out the word as we walk into the squad room. "You've got a ride-along tonight.""Oh really?" I'm flipping through the shit that's been put in my mailbox at the office. How we get so much shit handed out in one day fucking amazes me."Yeah." I hear a familiar voice. "My tranny is out on my car; I'll be riding along with a few of you until it's fixed
