“Jason you make sure Melissa takes care of herself and don’t try any of her shit while I’m gone. No active for her until I get back she can ride a desk and push papers. That ought to
keep her little ass out of trouble until she foals.” The room erupted in laughter as a half eaten apple came flying at my head. “You know if you don’t make it a rule she’s not gonna
listen to me Jake.” I was busy straightening up the papers and files on my desk and making sure I wasn’t leaving anything unfinished. Leaving for a whole three months was easier said
than done though I’d been preparing since I’d put in for the leave with the Supe. The Cap had wanted to get his grubby little hands on my team but I’d nixed that shit in the bud and the
Supe had agreed. Yet another reason, for captain asshole to hate my guts. I’d told him point blank I didn’t want him anywhere near my men. They played by the rules I set. They did things
the way I’d taught them. I didn’t need him fucking that shit up in three months.
“Jason for fuck sake she’s your woman, she’s battling my mustang for size and I don’t think she’s seen her ankles in two months. How hard can it be to corral her and get her to sit
still?” There was a loud scream and a coffee cup was the next thing to come flying across the room. “You take that back Jake Summers, I’m not as big as your car.” I heard her husband
cooing at her to calm her down after my well-placed insult. She loves it, six months pregnant and big as a house. I remember when she first broke the news of her pregnancy to the rest of
us, the smile on her face, the excitement. She was the first woman I’d ever heard say she was looking forward to getting the belly. It had given me ideas of planting my own kid. The next
three months were going to be devoted entirely to doing just that. “I’ll see you guys in a few, try not to destroy the place and if Samuels gets out of hand you have my permission to
take him the fuck out. Just don’t get caught.” With that I was gone.
Chapter 7
Jacqueline
It was easier than I thought to get out of the house, that tree limb that had scared the crap out of me as a child was now my new best friend. I just had to figure out how to get my car
down the driveway without making too much noise. I eased it into drive and with the lights off let it roll slowly backwards down the driveway until I got far enough away from the house
to make a U-turn on the lawn and gun it the hell out of there. My heart was racing so fast and hard I felt for sure I was going to collapse. My hands were actually shaking and my knees
felt weak. But then a smile broke out across my face. I’d done it, I’d actually done something I was sure would get me into more trouble than I’ve been in in a long long time. I wonder
if the fact that both instances had something to do with my Jake was an omen?
That long ago summer when I first felt love… there’re no words. He made me feel alive and wanted and sexy and…all the things I’d never felt before in my life. That first night after I’d
remembered how my tongue worked we’d talked for hours. I was breaking curfew but I didn’t care, I never wanted to leave his presence. I hadn’t missed his reaction when I told him who I
was, who my father was. I’d half expected him to give me the brush off just like everyone else did but he hadn’t, he’d kept me talking until it was past time to go. I honestly don’t
remember half of what was said that first night, I was too full of nerves and the look in his eyes kept distracting me.
Everyday that I went to his house under the pretense of tutoring Mindy (who, as far as my parents now believed was a lost cause in the education department) was like an adventure. We
worked out a scheme where he would actually help his sister before I even got there and then we’d spend the whole hour or two together. At first it was just getting to know you stuff. He
seemed so attentive, like he really cared about my life. He wanted to know every little detail. The first day he passed his hand through my hair I had a very embarrassing moment, which
he of course noticed. He seemed to notice everything about me, which just went straight to my head. But that day I’d wished he wasn’t so observant. With the touch of his fingers against
my scalp my skin had heated, I’d become flushed and the seat of my panties was a whole lot wetter than they had been. I don’t think he would’ve noticed all of that though if I hadn’t
moaned out loud and clenched my thighs together. Then again it had worked out for the best because that was the first time he’d kissed me.
