Because You're Mine Chapter 29
Allie gasped and pulled herself up straighter. "I… I didn't know. I mean, I always suspected that was how Jay got so powerful, but I didn't know he wanted out… because of me."His black eyes searched her face intently. "Yes. Very few of us discuss business with family. It is safer, of course. Involving family, as you have become involved… it is unusual."Allie understood. She should never have been taken. Jay took precautions of course, but involving loved ones within an organizational dispute was like declaring war. It was extremely rare. And it wouldn't go unanswered. Any move against family would be avenged with swift and bloody results."Why is your father angry with Jay?" Allie asked quietly. "Why would he break the rules this way?""Li Wei has had to renegotiate his docking contracts with other yards, which will cost him millions. He is stuck in the old ways and not willing to look forward and try new methods, as I have many times suggested. He has been losing money for some

6 Weeks LaterJay paced the pool deck from end to end, going over all of his reasons for confining Allie. The risk to her was too great if she were allowed the freedom to resume the things she enjoyed. Because the things Allie enjoyed tended to mean throwing herself headfirst into situations that could too easily get her into trouble. But that was part of what made Allie who she was. The woman he loved.Jay had been pacing indoors, but the confining space had caused his claustrophobia to well up too close to the surface. He'd thrown the French doors open and resumed his brooding outdoors, under the amused speculation of his security team."I should've gone with her," he muttered, rubbing a hand over his face.But she hadn't wanted him to. She'd asked him to stay home and wait for her. To trust her to know what she was doing. Fuck that. The second she walked in the door, he was chaining her to their bed, imprinting himself on every inch of her body and never letting her leave his

Fuck.He released her hand and leaned back against the lounge couch. Reaching back he stripped his T-shirt off and tossed it while she carefully slid his zipper down and reached into his jeans to pull out his already hard cock. She grinned up at him, pleased with her prize. He had trouble not grinning back. Instead, he adopted a stern expression."You stop when I tell you to this time. Am I clear?" he asked, using his best no nonsense boss voice.She nodded solemnly and, without wasting any more time, leaned forward between his legs and licked him from the base of his penis to the tip. She watched curiously with her head tilted to the side as his own head fell and his eyes rolled back. She liked watching his reactions, the little witch. She continued to lick him, swiping her tongue up and around until she reached the tip, then starting over again, teasing him until he was ready to grab her and force her head onto his cock. Then, finally, as if sensing his growing frustration, she en

Book Two: Mine to Keep"This isn't negotiable, Veronica. Don't be stubborn."Jay watched her closely for signs of capitulation. It wasn't like her to resist his suggestions, especially when it came to her safety. Veronica tended to be passive and easy going. She was as close to a best friend as he was capable of having. At forty-one, she was nine years older than him. Though she looked much closer to his age.She was standing with her back to him, watching the ships come and go from the harbour. He'd asked her to come down to his dockyard for this meeting. As usual, she'd agreed to his summons without complaint. He was beginning to suspect she might not have if she'd understood why he wanted her to meet him here. Already a small woman, she looked even tinier when she came out to the yard, surrounded by shipping containers, heavy machinery and cranes. Her thick black hair, streaked with bright red highlights was pulled back into a ponytail and she wore a tank top and shorts. She look

Rob glanced around the dockyard noticing every discreet security measure with pride. Jay Le Croix had entrusted his operation to Rob when he purchased it several years ago and so far, the dockyard had never experienced a single hitch, despite some of the less savoury clients that occasionally drifted through. They teamed up on security for each subsequent business purchase or takeover that Jay made.This new security detail was different though. Jay always trusted Rob to make his own decisions regarding security. Rob always hand-picked his own teams, trained and placed them. Jay knew Rob was capable and determined. He was one of exactly two people that knew Rob's complete background. Instead of feeling insulted by Jay's summons today, Rob was intrigued. Rather than simply placing the safety of this mystery woman in Rob's more than capable hands, Jay insisted Rob come to his dockyard office to meet the lady himself before determining how best to protect her.Rob was curious about Vero
Because You're Mine Chapter 34
Veronica went into panic mode. He was going to be here any minute. That massive beast of a man was going to be in her home any minute. How exactly was she supposed to deal with this? She'd spent the last seventeen years avoiding men like the plague and now one was going to be in her home. In her precious space. Where the only man that she had ever opened her door to was Jay. It occurred to her that Jay probably had no idea she never had men in her home.But how could he know? She'd never told Jay. She never told anyone. God! She was such a damaged ball of stressed out crazy. Of course, he wouldn't know. The last man that touched her body was the last man that paid for her services. She'd been twenty-four. Allie had been five and Jay fifteen. Of course, Jay had always known how she'd survived. How she'd fed them and how she'd fed her drug habit. He never judged. Her trick had hit her that night. Not bad, but bad enough that she'd needed an extra dose to ease the pain.Jay found her. H

"I'm ready," Veronica said coldly, refusing to actually look at the hulking giant in her kitchen. Robert Senator had made himself right at home in the two and a half days since Jay hired him to watch over her. He was currently going through her fridge, searching for… what? She had asked him to assign someone else to her. He had assured her that no one else was available. She had then asked Jay to step in. Jay assured her that Robert had an unparalleled reputation in security and was capable of making decisions regarding her safety. Now she was watching in complete frustration as the man stepped out of her refrigerator with a handful of vegetable sticks."Don't have much protein in this place, do you?" he grunted, eying her tight shorts and black T-shirt with the emblem for Allie's University emblazoned across the front. He didn't bother to hide the blazing interest from his rugged face.She crossed her arms over her small breasts and shook her head. "Vegetarian," she informed him c

He reached for her, but she flinched so hard she smacked her shoulder against the tree. Hissing in pain, she reached up to rub the pain away. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She was acting like an idiot. This man wasn't going to harm her. Granted, he used brutal methods to teach her a lesson in not taking off on her protection detail. Maybe she deserved it. She needed to face reality. By accepting a lifetime of Jay's money and protection, she wasn't an entirely innocent victim.What a fucked-up relationship she had with the younger man. Yet, it had never been anything but a fairytale to her. He'd saved her life on multiple occasions and made it his mission to give Allison the best of everything, even back when he had nothing. How could Veronica not adore him? But now, looking at it through someone like Robert's eyes, she wondered what he saw. Did he think she was Jay's mistress? What else could it possibly look like? She was living in a beautiful condo by the oc
