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 SeriesLailaChapter 73Laila’s point of view.So it's the weekend of Zane and Emily's wedding in vegas, I’m packing a case to take with me and since we've been home, Adam has spent every night either at the bunker or in my apartment with me. He’s been working alongside Maddox on the security aspect of the team and He’s also applied for medical school, where he starts back in September, and I’m so bloody proud of him. Maddox has been hooking up with a nurse he met whilst he spent a night at the hospital after the explosion. This is massive for my brother, and I’ve never known him to date anyone, and I’m pretty excited to meet her. Adam zips up his own case as he asks.Are you ready, baby?”I smile, fastening my case as I reply. “Yeah, I’m all packed.”We grab our luggage as we make our way to the garage, where the minibus is waiting for us and the rest of the team to take us to the airport; Maddox walks into the garage hand in hand with a tiny dark-haired woman;

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

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 75Ruby’s point of view.Josh pulls me away from the commotion, my vision is slightly blurred, and my ears are still ringing from the explosion.He has a worried look on his face as he says.“Fuck, Ruby, are you okay?” He keeps pulling me until we somehow ended up under the desk of the nurse's station; there is smoke and screaming people all around us.I look at his worried face as I say.“I’m okay, Josh; what the hell just happened?”He shakes his head as he says, “I don't know, Ruby; just keep your head down, okay.”I look up as Ian joins us. He looks at us as he whispers. “Are you guys okay?”Josh whispers back, “Ruby took the full force of the blast; it knocked her off her feet, and she banged her head pretty hard.”Ian crawls over to me as he says, “Let me have a look, there's no cut, but you do have a large bruise on your head. How do you feel?”I shrug my shoulder as I answer. “I’m fine, Ian, honesty”, before turning to Josh as I say.Wh

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 76Maddox’s point of view.“Fuck I’ve got to get down there,” I say, running my hand through my hair in frustration.“I need to get to the hospital; I need to see that she's okay.”Zane places a calming hand on my shoulder, holding me back as he says. “You can't, Maddog. We need to find out who we are dealing with first, Believe me when I say I know how hard this is, brother, but you will be no good to Ruby if you go in there all guns blazing, getting yourself injured or, even worse, killed….We need a plan, and we're going to need backup with this one, brother.”Fuck. I know he’s right but I need to be doing something. I look at Zane as I say, “I can't just sit here fucking waiting; what if she’s hurt? What if she needs me.” “Fuck”, I shout out as I let my frustration out on the wall... When I look up, Laila has returned to the room with Jake behind her.“Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!” I find myself pacing again. I don't know what to do with myself; I do

This is a man that not so long ago I wanted to kill, and today, I have nothing but respect for him…Do I trust him completely, I hear you ask…No, not ye but I’m getting there…Jake Stands in front of me, facing a room that is full to the brim, I’ve never seen this before, and I’ve been on many rescue missions.I’m honoured that they are all here for Ruby, well Ruby and a few civilians, but I know if it wasn't one of the Swift women inv
