The Swift Security SeriesLailaChapter 67Laila’s point of viewI walk down the corridor with Adam; my hands are tied in a slip knot behind my back; Adam checked and double-checked and then triple-checked that I could get free, which made me giggle. You'd think he would know me better by now, wouldn't you? I have to admit, though, the nerves are starting to kick in now, but I know that I have my crazy brother and the rest of the Swift team on my side, and they've never let me down. Adam gives my hands a little squeeze as he whispers quietly. “Are you okay?”I nod my head as I reply.“Yeah’ I will just be glad when it's all over.”I hope the team keeps their word when it comes to keeping Adam safe. I know Jake gave me his word, and he would never go against that, but I also know how much suffering Adam’s brothers have put these women through, especially Emily, and she's part of the family nowI look ahead and see Adam’s brother John smirking at me as he stands at the end of the c

The Swift Security SeriesLailaChapter 68Adam’s point of viewThe convoy of vehicles pulls to a stop at some roadworks. Funny, I haven't noticed them before now, but then again, I have been locked away from the world with Laila this past week.Looking around, I still see no sign of this Swift team, and I’ve got to say it's starting to worry me now…How can I possibly save Laila on my own?I look out the window and hear some shouting; one of the construction workers pulls out a gun…within seconds, we are surrounded by men with guns aimed at us.“Fuck what do we do?”The driver beside me says in a worried voice, and I reply.“Just stay calm and put your hands up! There are too many of them, and there is no need for anyone to be injured or worse.”I put my own hands up, hiding my smile as I look around…We are surrounded from every side, and there's nothing that any of Johns's's men can do.I urge the driver to do the same thing before slowly opening the door and stepping out with my han

The Swift Security SeriesLailaChapter 69Laila’s point of viewJake releases me from his hug and walks over to Adam; I look into his eyes and smile. He smiles back at me before turning his head towards his brother with a look of horror on his face.It's then that I see the gun pointing straight at me, and I have no time to react, I watch in horror as Adam pushes his brother to the ground. I hear the gunshot as they both fall to the floor.“Adam”, I shout out as I start to run towards him. A pair of solid arms engulf me, pulling me backwards as I turn to see Ben. “Let me go!” I say…Let me go, Ben.”Ben (Bulldog's point of view)I’m watching Laila as Jake walks away from her and over to one of the Rocco brothers. My heart breaks a little as I see the way Laila smiles at him, and It’s then that I notice the glint of metal catching the sun and realise that one of them has a gun pointing straight at Laila.“Laila, look out!”I run towards her as fast as I can, pulling her backwards and

The Swift Security SeriesLailaChapter 70Laila’s point of view.I watch as Adam follows his brother into the medical field before turning and walking towards Ben; he looks at me with a sad smile on his face as he says.“Hey, Laila, are you okay?”I smile as I reply.“I am now, thanks, Ben. Can we talk?”“Yeah, sure,” He replies. I take a deep breath as I say.“I just want to say that I think the world of you, Ben and the kiss that we shared will always be special, but….”He smiles.“Please don't, Laila, I know what you're going to say; you think the world of me as a friend, a brother, a co-worker….I saw the way you looked at him, Laila …You love him…Even if you are not ready to admit that to yourself, I saw it with my own eyes.”I smile as I reply.“Yes, Ben, I do love him; he’s like no one I’ve ever met before…I can speak to him without talking; he knows what I’m feeling, what I need without asking! We have this crazy connection that I just can't explain. It’s kind of scary, to be

The Swift Security SeriesLailaChapter 71Laila’s point of view.I just asked Adam to make love to me! And now I find myself being pulled along behind him as he’s hunting for a nearby hotel. I giggle as I say.“Are you in a hurry, baby?”He chuckles as he replies. “You bet I am; I’ve been a patient man Laila Lennox..But I’ve waited far too long to get a taste of you.”I laugh, looking down the street as I say,“There's one!”“Fuck…Yeah, and there's a pharmacy right next door.”He says as he pulls me inside with him.“Mmmmm, and what do we need a pharmacy for?” I ask We stop at the contraception aisle, and Adam fills up a basket as he says.“Every goddam colour and flavour they have, baby.”I giggle again as an older couple looks at us, the woman lets out a tut as the man gives us a cheeky wink, and Adam is still filling up his little basket, utterly oblivious to anyone around us.I whisper to him.“Are you planning on using them all?”He laughs as he replies“You bet, baby, though

The Swift Security Series Laila Chapter 72 Laila’s point of view. I wake up in the morning; it has been a very long night, and I think Adam used most of his supplies; I smile to myself as I think of our Antics. Adam still has his arm wrapped tightly around me, and I wiggle around until I'm lying face to him, watching him as he sleeps. His worry lines seem to have disappeared. I know he's been overly worried about what would happen to me and the rest of the girls. Smiling, I take my hand and run my fingers across his forehead. He is a very handsome man, and it's nice to see him so peaceful. I still can't believe just how quickly I fell for this man, especially after everything that I went through with James…Being with Adam, it just feels right!” He opens one eye with a grin as he says. “You know it’s rude to stare.” I giggle as I reply. “I can't help myself, and I can't believe you're here.” He chuckles as he replies. “What in this bed?” Smiling, I reply, “No, in my life.”

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 74Maddox’s (Maddog) point of view.I've had the most fantastic weekend with Ruby in Vegas watching the big guy marry Emily. I've only been with Ruby for a couple of weeks after meeting her at the hospital..I was smitten the minute I laid eyes on her.I've never been a relationship kind of man, I've had more than my share of one-night stands, but I've never found anyone interesting enough for a second date until now. Ruby is different, though. She may be tiny at just over five feet tall, but my god, she's feisty, and I love that about her not many can tell me what to do and get away with it. I could talk to her all night. We had this instant, what you call connection. Attraction Oh, we have that all right. I really like this woman, and I find that just as scary as I do exciting! We're heading back to the bunker, and the first stop is the hospital where Ruby works in A&E as a nurse. I lean into her as I whisper.“Are you okay, Ruby?” she turns
