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 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 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 77Maddox’s point of view.The rest of the teams begin to pile into the meeting, not only my Team with my Swift family but every other team that works with the company, along with various experts and a hell of a lot of our old military guys, each one laying a hand on my shoulder as they pass me, that one little gesture means so much as they each show me their support.The last two to walk are Adam and Laila; Adam has a laptop tucked underneath his arm, and he, like the rest before him, places a hand on my shoulder. 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

The Swift Security SeriesMaddogChapter 79Maddox’s point of view.Back at the bunker and I’m still sitting in the meeting room when everyone else has left, still trying to get my head around everything that's going down, but it's hard, knowing that this is going to be a really tough rescue operation; quiet possibly a suicide mission. I hear Jake’s phone ringing as he walks down the corridor heading to his office; his footsteps stop as he talks to someone, and a couple of minutes later, he pops his head back around the door as he says to me, “Maddox, you really need to hear this, buddy.”I raise my eyebrows as I ask, “Why, what's happening?”Jake walks into the room as he says, “I have a government agent on the phone, and apparently, he has just taken a call from a security guard at the Mansfield hospital. They are connecting us on a secure line now!”Jake places the call on the loudspeaker as we both gather around the phone.***Phone Call ***“Is this Jake?” A voice comes on the li
