The Swift Security SeriesLailaChapter 62Laila’s point of view.I wake up in the morning with Adam’s strong arms wrapped around me, and even though I never thought that I would feel this way again, it feels good…no, it feels really, really good. I turn around to look at him, trying not to wake him up as I quietly giggle, and he mumbles something in his sleep.He's such a handsome man is, Adam Rocco. I smile as I study his face. He's certainly nothing at all like his brothers, he's kind and compassionate, and although he doesn't realise it, he also has a good heart. It is so sad that he's been brought into this life to feel so differently about himself, and it's sad that he compares himself to them…his brothers.I saw the devastation written on his face when he told me about the girls being kept here.I smile to myself as I run my finger along his strong jawline and stubble, and I giggle when he stirs. With one eye open, he looks at me as he mumbles.“Mmmmm, good morning, beautiful

The Swift Security SeriesLailaChapter 64Maddog’s Maddox point of view.It’s been one hell of a long week since Laila’s been taken. A long and frustrating week after the team rescued Emily, I’ve spent every minute looking for Laila and the Rocco brothers, but everything came up empty. I’m frustrated and extremely worried over my sister, especially after seeing with my own eyes what these sick fuckers have been up to with these women. I swear if they've laid one finger on her, I will kill the lot of them with my bare hands.It’s 11 am on a Tuesday morning, and I find myself back at the bunker office trying to get a trace on something or anything that will lead us to the Rocco brothers…I’m in a world of my own when Jake walks in and places a hand on my shoulder as he says.“How’s it going, Maddox?”I let out a frustrated sigh as I say.“Nothing! I can't get a trace on any one of them.”He flops down in the chair facing me, turning to look at me as he says.“She’s going to be okay, Mad

The Swift Security SeriesLailaChapter 66Adam’s point of viewI spend the next couple of hours talking with Laila. I'm so nervous about tonight, but the nerves are not for myself. They are for Laila. What's going to happen to her if her team doesn't show up or if they are outnumbered? John has an army of men signed on his books. Laila does not seem the least bit phased by any of this though. Every time I try to voice my concerns, she just laughs it off, saying that she trusts her team. I can only pray that they are as good as she says they are. She looks at the time, sighing as she says.“Oh well, I guess I had better go and get myself cleaned up. I don't want to disappoint that brother of yours.” “Yeah, I guess so”, I mutter. I can't look her in the face. I’m so bloody scared of anything happening to her.She looks at me as she takes my hand in hers and whispers.“Hey, everything will be okay. You have to trust me on this, Adam.”I nod my head, running my thumb over the pal

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 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
