Deeply in the game Chapter 37
After gently tracing his brow with her fingertips and feeling a wave of tenderness wash over her face, Anna leaned back against his shoulder and laid her head there. His chest felt constricted, and his heart was pounding. It was difficult for him to even breathe. This connection, this kinship, had to be an act; it was probably brought on by the adrenaline rush that came from being on the run. Didn’t it? But he was conscious of the fact that there was more to it. He was unable to develop feelings for Anna. He was nothing but a source of frustration. Hell. He had no desire to be concerned about another person. He did not want anyone else to be concerned about him. He could put that chapter of his life in the past.He hushed, "What are you doing to me, woman?" This was a repetition of the question that she had asked him before. "What are you doing to me?"Anna did not reply, but she did pull closer to him while her arms were about him. As the seconds passed, they became more comfortabl

Amazing, was the first thing that came to his mind, and it made him want to smile once more. “Later.” He could feel himself drifting off to sleep thanks to the mattress. "Come this way." He persuaded her to turn around so that she could stand with her back against his chest.She snuggled up against him without making any objections, and a gasp of surprise could be heard slipping out of her mouth as he rested his manhood against her behind. "You're being difficult once more." She made the statement as if she had just observed it, despite the fact that they both knew this was not the case. "Hmm," he mumbled to himself. "It doesn't matter how tired I am; I always seem to have room in my stomach for more of you. In point of fact, I was just thinking about several fantastic ways to use the remaining honey that room service had brought with my biscuits."Were you now?" she purred in an alluring manner.While nuzzling her neck, he said "Oh, yeah" in close proximity to her ear. It'll have a

Anna blinked awake on the third day of essentially living in the same hotel room from sunrise to sunset. She gave the bedside clock a blurry-eyed glance as she glanced at it through her bleary eyes. It is currently eight in the morning. There were only ten days left until they had to make the trip back to Austin for the rescheduled trial. Only. Right.She would lose several weeks of her life before this ordeal was finally finished. It wasn't like she was bothered by being in Jerome's company. He'd become quite a lovely diversion. And while we're on the subject of her diversion, Jerome stirred next to her and pulled her into his arms. They laid down next to one another, with their heads on pillows, facing one other. He pretended to be asleep by keeping his eyes closed and acting as if he had reached out for her while he was asleep. But she was more savvy than that. She could sense that he was paying attention to her.The fact that she had spent these few days sharing each and every wa

Before giving her his complete attention, he messed with the thermostat and said, "Right," indicating his agreement with what she had said. "As soon as we finish attending to certain urgent matters." After providing no further information, he went to use the restroom.She stared at his back in utter awe. "What exactly does that entail?" However, she was merely babbling to herself. After he'd vanished around the bend, the shower turned on almost instantaneously after he'd left.Anna pushed the blanket away from her and began to shiver. She wrapped her arms around herself to ward off the chill and stormed into the bathroom, where she discovered Jerome hiding behind the curtain. She demanded to know, "What urgent business are we talking about?" "A hurricane is expected to arrive soon. A large one. It is time for us to depart.When the curtain moved, he peered through it at her while water clung to the long, dark lashes that framed his eyes. After then, he vanished without uttering a sing

She made an attempt to grab it, but he held on to it the whole time. "Anna, Randy is going to find us and kill us if he can." If he is allowed to go free, we will never be able to be free. He let go of the phone he had been holding.Didn't he see? She wouldn't be free to go if she had any more blood on her hands, so she better be careful.However, she did not state that. She changed her position so that she was facing forward instead of him. "What is the number?" (What is it?)He didn't reply right away, but the weight of his look continued to bear down on her with increasing intensity like lead. “Anna—”She tucked her hair behind her ears and gave him a sidelong glance while doing so. "What is the number?" (What is it?) If he had the audacity to tell her what to say once more, she would give up on the plan altogether.He then gave her the number while pressing his lips together. Smart man. She dialed the number and did her best to appear to be in a state of panic.Jack questioned her

She made a sudden turn to the left, heading in the direction of their parked automobile. If Randy were to follow her, then there would be no need to sacrifice anyone else. She jolted herself awake by reminding herself that she had a gun in the car. Now she had to concentrate on running in order to reach shelter quickly enough to make advantage of it.She ran faster and harder as the car came into view, despite the stinging sensation she was experiencing in her legs. She was also fighting against the force of the wind. It was possible for her to utilize the vehicle as a shield before drawing her weapon on the attacker. It was a mistake on Jerome's part to question her willingness to fire. She could fire her weapon, and she'd still live. As she got closer to the vehicle, she looked back and was surprised to see that Jerome was following closely behind. He lunged at her, grabbed her arm, and dragged her to a crouching position behind the driver's door, where she was hidden from view.

Jerome engaged in some additional listening and responded with a few terse, abbreviated statements. After that, he detonated his explosive in Phil's direction. "Jack needs to clean up." After that, he went on to explain how they had tricked him, and then he concluded by saying, "I propose you deal with him before I get back." After some silence and attentiveness, he spoke up and said, "And, Phil. This in no way indicates that I trust you. It's just a simple way of saying that I only have you at the moment. I'll get back to you as soon as I can."He hung up. The tension in the car was as thick as the storm that was raging outside, yet neither Anna nor Jerome spoke to ease it. In order to bring order to the confusion that was taking place within her head, Anna desired to relax and think. However, that would have been an overly simple solution. She should have realized there would have been issues to come. Without giving any prior notice, Jerome sped the car into the parking lot of a n

Jerome made his way toward the boat while keeping an eye out for problems, clinging to Anna, and struggling against the elements. They were saturated in a short amount of time as they made their way down the dock ramps, which were covered in splashes of water.After climbing up onto the rapidly shaking deck of the Adiós and placing his bag on the floor, Jerome grabbed Anna and pulled her to safety. The ship continued to rock violently. Once he was satisfied that she had a firm grasp and was not going to fall, he got his luggage and led her down a short flight of stairs into the cabin.Now it was time for him to retrieve the funds and the goods, and then get the heck out of Dodge. Easy. Fast. I don't think so. He felt a tingling sensation at every nerve ending in his body.This feeling of being pumped up and on edge was more than just ready; it was his inner alarm for peril, the one that had kept him alive many times in the past. And he had no intention of doing anything different th
