I'll think of something

Reese returned home to find Cory’s pickup truck parked out front. As he drove his car into his reserved slot he saw Cory get out and walk up to him.“Why are you here again, this is becoming a habit I don’t like.” Reese asked him with a surly tone.“How is she?” Cory asked, instead of answering.Reese clucked his tongue while locking his car. “You better come inside I guess.”Cory grinned and followed Reese through the entrance security gate and into the communal pool area, around the pool to his own apartment and he unlocked the large slider that was his informal front door. There was a formal front door down a path on the other side of the complex from the street but he never used it and neither did his friends.Cory noticed there were two guys already lounging by the pool and one of the other residents was looking out their windows at them with a sour look on their face. Reese did a h

Reese's Family Dinner

Reese huffed as he sat back in his seat and let his gaze wander the restaurant. He was bored and felt these little family dinners were a complete waste of time especially when it was cutting into his Saturday night. Why his father always insisted on him meeting every bloody new wife potential was beyond him. This one seemed to be a little bit crafty and was actually of a decent age for his fifty five year old father, she looked to be thirty rather than the twenty somethings he kept showing up with, and was decent enough to look at. He wished them all the best and good luck once the woman found out what his father, Cillian O’Shea, did for a living.In the good old days it was extortion, booze running and illegal gambling, these days it was guns and drugs importing that the Irish Mob invested in and a healthy dose of money laundering through their various legitimate looking businesses, including restaurants, hotels and clubs.Reese’s eyes fell on a familiar f

Convince her or go viral

Emma entered the Student Executive Office with a strange trepidation having no idea why she was being summoned first thing on a Monday morning. She knew she hadn’t done anything to warrant this and she was nervous about having to face Reese O’Shea noticing he was alone in the room.Reese smiled as she entered and stood up from the computer desk, indicating for her to sit on the couches.“Emma Johnson, glad you could come and see me. Please sit down, make yourself comfortable, I’m just wanting to have a little bit of a personal chat with you. You don’t mind, do you?”He gave her a sexy smile as he sat down in the arm chair that faced side on to the couch and crossed his legs exuding a calm friendly manner that seemed to work on putting Emma at ease.“Oh, okay…whew! I thought for a minute I was in trouble.” She giggled nervously as she sat down, pulling her skirt down as much as she could to cover her t

A Kiss and Bruises

“Do I have to do this?” Quinn asked nervously. “You told me my weeks were my own, so why am I having to go to some charity auction on a Thursday? Who even does these things during the week?” She was standing in front of Antonio wearing a long dark blue dress that the shop assistant had recommended for the event and that the shop fitters were now hemming while they waited. This meant two nights were taken up by this, today being Wednesday and tomorrow the night of the event, both of which she could be studying.He was sitting in a comfy chair, one leg hooked up over the other while he scrutinized Quinn in the stunning velvet dress that showed a lot of cleavage in a dipping sweetheart neckline.“The rich with nothing better to do…and of course you do, you’re my partner in this now…why do you dare to question me?”The fitters glanced nervously at each other while they worked on the dress as Quinn stood still o

A Kiss and Bruises cont

The electronic disc on the table suddenly went off between them causing Quinn to jump out of her skin and reel backwards.“Easy babe!” Reese’s fingers went to the back of her neck again, catching her and keeping her close. She winced as his fingers dug in a little too strongly. He instantly let go, standing up and stepping to her side and sweeping her hair back. “Fuck, sorry, did I hurt you?”“No, stop!” Quinn cried out.Too late…Reese stood staring at the black bruises on the back of her neck, his face dropping into a grim and deadly expression.“Who the fuck did this?”“Stop!” Quinn pushed him away, sweeping her hair back over her shoulders to cover it and looking around the café embarrassed to see it half full of people and some of them staring and gossiping about them. “Not here.”“Then let’s go somewhere to talk…”

Golden Retriever

Cory was just drying himself off in the locker room after his shower when he heard his phone go. He leaned into his locker and grabbed it, reading the message from Reese with a grim sigh.“What the fuck have you done…?” He muttered and hurriedly dressed, grabbed his stuff and went to walk out.“Hey! Wait for us, Curry…”“Nah, got somewhere to be…” He said and dipped out quickly.He had no idea where to even look for Quinn at this time of the morning…he made his way to the business faculty and scanned the corridors.After a few minutes he saw the top of her red head cross the hall in the distance and he hurriedly made his way up to the intersection to see her walk into a class room.He ducked in and saw her take a seat and take a folder out of her bag. No one was in the room and he guessed she was in here to drop some assignment notes off but she looked mentally spent as she sigh

A charity auction full of surprise

Quinn was shocked at the swanky room Antonio led her into for the charity auction. The five star hotel that was hosting it was definitely for the uber rich and she could feel the difference between this group of people and the people at the last soirèe. These people were elegant and refined and exuded class. Quinn gripped Antonio’s arm nervously.He glanced down at her with an amused smile. “Don’t worry, petalo, these people are pussycats…we are here to rub shoulders and shake hands and be seen in esteemed legal company.”She relaxed a bit and when the waitress came round with flutes of champagne she took one, taking a heavy sip.“Take it easy…” Antonio warned. He knew she was no good with alcohol and bubbles tended to go straight to her head. Besides, she was technically underage, no matter how grown up and sexy she looked in that dress.A man dressed in a fine three piece suit came up to Antonio and shook his hand. “Mr Ferrante, I’m glad you could make it…”“It was short notice, but

A charity auction cont...

Quinn stumbled as Antonio pulled her and he turned his head to look at her with a frown. “Please, Antonio…I need the bathroom.”He glared at her for a moment then nodded, letting her hand go. “Go, quickly…the secret auction is about to close and I want to bid on that watch.” He stalked off leaving her to go fill in the required form. She looked back and Matteo was right there on her shoulder making her flinch. He pointed to the left.“Over there.”“Oh, thanks…” She ducked her head and had to concentrate on not running for the door.The hallway she stepped into had an exit door out onto a small balcony with a fire escape and she rushed off out there to get some fresh air, her stomach swirling in fear and nerves.She stepped to the balustrade and gulped in air, closing her eyes and enjoying the cool air on her face as it was hot and no doubt red.“Quinn, what the fuck!”She spun around as Reese growled behind her. Her heart skipped a beat at the fierce look in those golden eyes, they se

I won't quit on you

Friday was a nervous day for Quinn as she tried to keep her head down and not be found by Reese. She met Cory during her break in classes for lunch and they sat in the café Artifice.“So you were right about being home late…I saw your message this morning, I fell asleep.” Cory said sheepishly. She hadn’t been dropped home till Antonio was done with her at 2am.“I told you…”“So where did you go, on a date?” He asked coyly.She laughed. “You’re not smooth…I was attending a charity auction with my brother.”“Not the one for Cancer treatments in Africa?”Quinn startled. “Yeah…”“Damn, I was supposed to go to that…wait, Reese was there wasn’t he?”Quinn frowned with remorse. “Yeah, I saw him there…but couldn’t talk to him.”“

A rainy car ride home

It was going to rain just as Quinn was heading home. She cursed the weather report not telling her that morning as she drew her hood up on her sweatshirt and bowed her head into the wind. She had been walking for a week now, since her car was in the shop…and although she liked the walk as she didn’t live too far away days like this made her wish she had her car back.A V8 engine sounded next to her as a car pulled over to the curb, she turned to look and saw a black Camero.She stopped walking as the window on the passenger side opened and Reese leaned over from the driver’s side with a big ass smile on his face.“You don’t have your car back yet, do you?”“Obviously no…” Quinn drawled sarcastically.“Get in, let me take you home, it’s going to rain soon.”Quinn looked at the stormy grey sky feeling the wind whipping up around her and grudgingly got into Reese’s
