Yeah, this was what they needed. She would almost certainly pull away after, but he would pursue her with far more willpower than he’d ever used to push her away.
“I made it to what I suspect was the main office. No one was home,” Kala admitted. “Coop and I tried the computers, but most of them had been bricked. We only got one to give us data, and I think it’s the one that controlled CCTV. They had good protocols. Once we burned the jammer, the important people took off. I would bet there are tunnels nearby that aren’t tracked by CCTV.”
Kenzie nodded. “Yes, I found some records of excavation at that site right before World War II. This whole area was ground zero for the Nazi movement. It was heavily bombed later in the war, so it makes sense that they had underground shelters. The tunnels would have led back to the village a few miles away.”
“It would have made sense to know that before we went in,” his uncle pointed out.
Kenzie frowned. “Sorry. I was trying to figure out what we were going into, not where they would run.”
His mother’s eyes rolled. “Yeah, says the dude who pushed these kids to plan and execute a delicate rescue op in less than forty-eight hours.”
“Yes, to get your son out,” his uncle shot back, and then seemed to give up the argument. “TJ, you haven’t explained how the hell you got captured.”
He’d been dreading this, but now it didn’t seem so bad because he could feel the heat of Lou’s pussy. She was fucking wet already. She responded to his touch like she’d been made for him.
How had they not been doing this for years and years?
“I was out with friends and got roofied at a bar. Woke up to a bunch of tasers and like bright lights and shit.” He slipped a finger over her clitoris and felt her stiffen. She was so good at this. Perfectly quiet, and aside from the slightest flush of her skin, she looked like she was concentrating again.
Such a good girl. Yeah, they could play with that.
“Are you serious?” Zach asked, shaking his head like he couldn’t quite believe it. “You let yourself get roofied?”
He wasn’t taking that from him. From anyone. He wasn’t a part of this team and never had been. He worked differently. “I’m not a spy, man. There’s zero reason for anyone to kidnap me unless they are interested in how our comms work or need a lesson in sharpshooting. Otherwise, I’m pretty meaningless, so I don’t sit around wondering whether someone spiked my drink when I got up to hit the head.”
“You’re useful for your last name alone, man,” Cooper pointed out.
The Taggart name meant something in military and intelligence circles, but there were far more important Taggarts to be had. His cousin Heath might be a Taggart in name, but he was also heir to the 4L fortune, along with their Lawless cousins. Luke and Carys Taggart would someday inherit his Uncle Sean’s restaurant empire. And Kala and Kenz were important in so many ways.
He was just TJ.
“That’s not why they brought me in.” He circled her clit, feeling her wriggle slightly as though trying to find the exact right spot. The good news for her was he was actually quite good at multitasking. He looked to his parents and uncle while he stroked Lou over and over again. “I woke up, and after a couple of rounds of pre-game torture, they explained that they wanted me to put them in touch with the man known as The Jester. I had no idea who the fuck that was, however, they did not believe me. They have pictures of me walking in Berlin with a man I’ve never seen before. They have some bad intel. Did someone go into the interrogation rooms?”
So wet and hot, and it was all for him. He played with her, light touches and strokes that would keep her on edge.
How much fun would they have in the club? She’d agreed to bottom for him, and he was going to show her what a good choice that was. When they were in the club, he wouldn’t have to hide what he was doing. He could be open about fucking her. No one would question him in the club once she had a collar around her throat.
“Kala and I did a sweep, but it was clean. They obviously have excellent protocols,” Cooper explained.
“What I don’t understand is why they didn’t try to make a damn stand.” His uncle sat back. “They ran immediately.”
“That bothers me, too,” his mom agreed. “We sent in a small team because we thought they had the best chance of getting around their security. We weren’t ready for a prolonged fight. From what I could tell from watching surveillance, they had at least ten armed guards. But they didn’t even try to fight. They ran and fast.”
