Hotter Than Hell CHAPTER 293
MadisonI have one shot at this, and when Moon discovers what I’m doing, there will be hell to pay. I can’t think about that. The plan is in place and all systems go. It’s too late to turn back, or so I tell myself.“Caleb,” I tell my bodyguard and driver. “We’re going on a slight detour. Take us to Cartwright’s service.” Cori stares down at her phone pretending my request isn’t strange in the least.Caleb eyes me through the rearview mirror. “Your husband will have my balls.”More than a year ago, when my former bodyguard decided to take time off to have a baby, I made an agreement with Moon. I didn’t want anyone guarding me, but he insisted. He won that round and I won the right to be the boss of Caleb without Moon’s interference. Though I wanted another female, Caleb and I established a working relationship that suited us both and it doesn’t feel like my husband is keeping tabs on me. The bottom line is Moon might pay Caleb’s paycheck but he answers to me and will do as I say withi
Hotter Than Hell CHAPTER 294
FernandezThe smell of revenge is so damn fucking sweet. Goose is on his way to Moon’s compound with the C-4. If I’m lucky, he won’t ditch the vehicle soon enough and he’ll die in the explosion. My supplier for another whore came through and he also gave me the intel that further brightens my day. I’m not fucking around this time and will take out Moon’s bitch as soon as she’s in my clutches. Moon will receive her head within the hour, and Melina and Austin will decide they’re safer in California. Between Arizona and their home, I’ll get my sister back and kill that mother fucker she’s hooked up with.I call the phone number for my cartel connection and he doesn’t answer. “Fuck,” I yell into the room. I dial again and still nothing. Tossing my phone to the chair beside me, I try to come up with another plan that won’t require additional men. My brain goes into overdrive.I pace the room and continue thinking. Once I fuck and kill Cartwright’s whore, my mind will be clear enough for me
Hotter Than Hell CHAPTER 295
MadisonAfter Celina sends me a text saying the women are on their way, I call Caleb into my office. He’s been mister grumpy since my earlier visit with Cartwright and I think Moon gave him a verbal ass whooping. Unfortunately, his mood won’t be improving anytime soon. We picked up Cori’s car from her apartment after my talk with Cartwright. She left the building and she’s waiting downstairs for me. I’m not sure where all the men assigned to guard me are stationed, and Cori has more coming and going privileges than I do.“I want to go over security. I don’t want any of my girls in danger.”“What do you need to know?” His lips are still a firm line and I know he hasn’t forgiven me.“If something major was to happen here, I’d like to know where the guards are located.” He nods and I continue. “Cori and I checked the safe room earlier and there’s a spider in the far corner. No matter how pissed off you are, there’s no way we’re going in there with a spider.” I can only hope there’s no in
Hotter Than Hell CHAPTER 296
MadisonThe women with Celina give whoops and atta-girl shouts. I can’t help smiling. “We’ll be another thirty minutes. There’s a building supply store not far from you and I need you to pick up two metal fence post drivers.” I never worked Cave Creek as a cop, but one of the officers lived there and loved having barbeques, so I’m familiar with the area.“We’re on it. Meet us in the parking lot.”I disconnect the call and decide to join Cori in the front. I wiggle between the seats and then lean back and exhale after I attach my seatbelt. “I’m worried Moon could beat us there.”Cori puts her foot on the gas and shoots forward on the freeway. The 51 is one of the lighter trafficked freeways if you’re not driving it during rush hour and we’re pushing the witching hour. It’s the most direct route from central Phoenix to the north valley and we’re in luck because it’s wide open. If that luck continues, highway patrol won’t have units in the vicinity.We make it to the building supply stor
Hotter Than Hell CHAPTER 297
MoonMadison is up to something. The strange feeling persisted while she dressed and then at breakfast. Sending her off to the service without me was nearly impossible. The fact is, I need to get my head out of my ass and take care of Fernandez once and for all. The thought of him taking Madison again is eating me alive.While she’s at EE, I can focus on what it takes to keep everyone safe. The Frontera Cartel is out of the picture and now we can focus on one man. I have everyone but our outside security in the conference room. Austin joins us too.“How do we bring him out in the open without risking one of our women as bait?” I ask the men. It didn’t matter how much Madison complained, there was no way I would give into her plan.I’ve never reached my current level of frustration as we debate the best scenarios. Alex hasn’t said a word since entering the meeting, which surprises me. When I look at him, his eyes are on the door leading to the hallway.“What has you worried?” I ask him
Hotter Than Hell Chapter 298
MoonAlex brings the car to the front. Austin jumps into the back and I take the passenger seat. I told the men to put Gabriella in our safe room until everything settles. She can cuss them out in Spanish, I don’t have time. Sirens can be heard in the distance and we need to be completely clear of the house before they hit the street that leads to my private road.I’ve also notified additional men to meet us at the warehouse. As soon as we have Fernandez’s location, we’ll be moving out quickly. It suddenly occurs to me that Dax is totally out of the loop, so I dial his cell.“You’re fucking kidding me,” he practically yells when I tell him his wife ran over a man and picked up the women. “I’m on my way.” Another call comes in and I look at the display. It’s Caleb.“Start heading here with reinforcements,” I tell Dax quickly. “I’ll call as soon as we have a location. It won’t be long.”The man in the trunk is moaning loudly. There are metal plates over the taillights and nothing he can
Hotter Than Hell CHAPTER 299
MadisonWe park a half mile from the home. Melina and I run up the street, carrying the post driver between us because it’s so damn heavy, and check out the property. Like the house he kept me and Cori in, this one is away from other homes and on a nice sized piece of property. The desert foliage on the north side of the area gives us a good vantage point to see the back door. I call Celina.“Send Cori north to our location. The front door is on the south side of the house and you’ll have about twenty-five yards from the truck to the door. Sofia will be your driver and leave as soon as you’re inside. She’ll park and meet us. We’ll come through the back five minutes after you enter.” We covered all of this in the car, but it helps me to go over the plan out loud again. “Give Cori ten minutes to get in place before Sofia drops you off.”“Cori just took off. We’re set,” Celina says before ending the call.After Cori meets us, we stay low and wait for Sofia to text me that Celina is in th
Hotter Than Hell CHAPTER 300
MadisonShe steps forward and Fernandez spins and tries throwing a punch at my head but misses. He moves quickly even with a bullet through the foot and gets between Cori and Sofia’s rifle. Melina takes the opportunity to bring her gun down on the back of his head. He stumbles and I kick the tibial pressure point in his good leg. He drops and I kick Celina’s gun away from him. She grabs it and aims it at him as he wiggles around like a flopping fish. I hand Melina my gun and slam down into his back with my cuffs primed. I practically pull his arms from their sockets in order to secure his hands behind his back while he’s stunned.“Help me get him up on the kitchen island and I’ll cut off his fucking clothes.” We drag him back to the kitchen minus Celina who stays at her post, which is the front door. He struggles but it’s not enough for four women on a mission.The sick feeling in my stomach stays and I turn slightly and rub tears from my eyes. Not a minute has gone by that I haven’t
