Pulling into the lot for my apartment building, I took a second once parked to take a couple deep breaths and rested my forehead against the steering wheel. We were so fucking close today.
Before I allowed myself to spiral, I jumped out of my car and fast walked to the apartment building.The building wasn’t fancy by any means, but it was secure and inconspicuous.Opening my door, Alfredo, my cream colored cat sat patiently waiting for our daily ritual. I picked him up and held him like a baby. He purred instantly, alleviating some of the tension I held. I kissed his head and put him on my couch to then drape a blanket over him and the top of the sofa to make a little fort. It was his favorite and something we always did when I came home. Some might think I have some screws loose, I just call it being a great cat mom.My apartment was a simple garden style, with 2 bedrooms and one bathroom. Its open concept in the living and dining area made the space seem bigger than it really was. Thankfully the landlord had updated the unit before I moved in, so everything was clean, light and bright. I didn’t have too much in the apartment. Just the basics. We never knew where our job would take us, so it was important to be able to leave quickly in case of an emergency.Walking into my room I stripped, threw everything in my basket, and placed my pistol on my nightstand before covering it with a fake book while putting my two knives in the drawer. Although I wasn’t in the line of duty, I still was armed and trained like I would be.I walked into the bathroom and started the shower while I removed my makeup at the sink. Arrow had seen me at my worst, and he could care less about make up. So looking like a wet rat was fine to him. I stepped into the shower and willed the water to wash away my stress and anger from today’s failure.After a few minutes I heard the door to my apartment open. Arrow insisted on having a key so I could lock the door when I was alone. The bathroom door opened shortly after.Without a word Arrow stripped and opened the glass shower door. I looked up at him, taking in his perfect tanned body. All of his muscles were defined and bulky. A family crest tattoo covered his left peck. I bit my bottom lip as I lowered my gaze from his chest, to his 6 pack abs, and my favorite V that led to my pussy’s best friend.“Eager to see me I see,” I teased looking back down at his fully erect cock.He smirked, his eyes filled with lust and mischief. “Maybe” he teased back as he stepped closer. Water droplets fell down his chiseled chest, and I traced them with my finger tips before wrapping my hand around Arrow's cock. He hissed as I began to stroke him. He wrapped one hand around my neck pulling me to him, before pushing me against the shower wall and kissing me intensely. Our tongues danced together. Soft moans left both of us as we attacked each other.While keeping one hand around my throat, his other went between my legs rubbing circles on my clit. I closed my eyes and let out a soft moan when I felt his mouth around my nipple. I stroked him harder. He moved my hand off of him before letting go of my neck and kneeling in front of me. He grabbed my leg and draped in over his shoulder to have better access to my core.My breath hitched as he placed soft kisses on my inner thigh, slowly working his way up to my center. Just when I thought he was going to tease me to death, he flattened his tongue and licked from my entrance to my clit. My fingers threaded through his blonde hair and tugged as he continued to devour me.I came undone within seconds. The best part of my relationship with Aaron is our ability to know what the other needs without vocalizing them. We had the ability to satisfy a carnal need inside us and kill the demons that lie in our heads.After lapping up my release, Aaron left soft kisses up my body as he stood. Each kiss leaving goosebumps on my skin. He captured my lips in a passionate kiss so I could taste myself on his tongue. He released me from the kiss. Both of us panting. Instead of letting me take care of him, Aaron turned me around and then started massaging shampoo in my hair.“We will get him E.” He whispered into my ear.I sighed and fought the urge to cry. “All those women and children..” Before I could finish he turned me around to face him and to allow the spray to wash out the shampoo.“I know. We can’t think about them too much though. If we do that we will allow ourselves to be swallowed whole. He will pay for his sins.” Aaron spoke confidently and authoritatively. Making it impossible to argue. “Now shut up and kiss me so we can give ourselves a sliver of reprieve.”I kissed him softly, obeying his command. His hand fisted my wet locks as my hands traveled down his body. Breaking the kiss we quickly finished showering and drying off before attacking each other once more.Pushing Arrow on the bed, I climbed on top of him so my wet core could get the friction she so desperately wanted. Rocking my hips, I covered his hard cock with my juices.He groaned as I teased him. “E, I swear to God woman if you don’t put me inside you..” Before he could finish I impaled his hard cock inside me in one swift movement.“Holy fuck,” Aaron hissed while grabbing my hips to rock them. My head rolled back as I let myself be consumed by the euphoric feeling.Riding his cock didn’t last long. Before I knew it Aaron flipped me so I was underneath him. His pelvis rubbing right on my clit, causing my orgasm to build at lightning speed.“Fuck, Aaron….harder please.” I begged for the release that he could give. Aaron pounded into me like his life depended on it. We came at the same time. Slowing his thrusts, Aaron rested his forehead on mine as we caught our breath. Slowly pulling out of me, Aaron went into the bathroom to grab a washcloth. Wiping the aftermath of our orgasms from me and then himself.“Get some comfy clothes on. I’ll order pizza and we can watch some New Girl.” Aaron instructed as he put on his gray sweatpants.I saluted him and got off the bed to grab a pair of tye dye pink Snoozie slippers, A baggy shirt and some flannel pajama shorts. This was my favorite aspect of my friendship with Aaron. We were able to explore each other's sexual fantasies, but at the flip of a switch we could go into friend mode. I knew he was ordering from my favorite pizza place and saying we could watch New Girl for the 5 millionth time because he knew how I would spiral if I didn’t have my comfort items.I knew eventually we would need to figure out what this thing was that we were doing. But for now I was too broken and too overwhelmed to think about that.I sat on the couch snuggled against Aaron, next to Alfredo’s fort while the intro song to New Girl came through the speakers of the tv.Present DaySir Mr. Ricci is on line 2” Christine, my assistant, paged into my office. “Thank you Christine,” I replied, rolling my eyes. I had no desire to speak to the man, especially since he called a little over an hour ago, which I ignored. “Romano” I said, hitting the speaker button and leaning back in my office chair.“Care to share with me why it’s taking so fucking long for us to figure who planned the attack on my warehouse?” Ricci boomed through the phone. “Well good morning to you too” I grumbled, knowing how this conversation was going to go. “Oh don’t give me that bullshit Kade, we both know that the pleasantries are long gone. If your father was still alive..”Before he could finish, interrupted, “Well he’s not. So I will have to do. Unless you want to find another security firm that's willing to deal with all facets of your business.” My tone was cool and straight forward. I couldn’t stand the slimy scumbag, but my father had brought Ricci in as a client with a he
Phantom, we need to talk about your next undercover assignment.” Chief motioned for me to take a seat across from him at his desk.“Tomorrow you will report to RSS (Romano security systems) as a candidate for their cyber security specialist position. “Ricci is a huge client of Romanos and is the best way for us to intercept information now that he’s covering his tracks even more because of the warehouse incident.”We went through my cover story as Evelyn Mower (my mother’s maiden last name). We kept everything as close to the truth as possible so when Romano pulled up my information there would be no way he could find discrepancies. Chief ended our conversation with, “Under no circumstances can Ricci identify you while you are at RSS. It will not only blow your cover but, potentially risk a full out war with the Mafia.” I nodded in understanding and walked out of his office.The next morning I opted out of my usual jeans, converse, and a tee shirt to corporate America's lady boss
Kade POVI don’t know what I expected from Evelyn Mowers, but it certainly was not this. Not only was she gorgeous, which was emphasized by her outfit that fit her curves just right, her last question threw me off guard. It was a bold question, but I couldn’t help but admire her confidence that came through as she spoke. I by no means thought I was a good man. You couldn’t be when you were the Don of the Italian Mafia. I killed those who wronged me or my family. However, I lived by a specific code, that my father and grandfather refused to live by. Following this code of ethics, allowed me to avoid unnecessary casualties and kept me from law enforcement's radar. After my father died from a heart attack over a year ago, I was forced to take on his empire along with his reputation as The Reaper. One could not get this name without being considered a monster. Although the reputation did keep my enemies in line, it also meant I acquired relationships like Anthony Ricci, that I did not w
Evelyn POV:The Hive was not at all what I thought it would be nor were the team members what I envisioned. With RSS prestige reputation, I figured I would be walking into a stuffy, black tie, office with everything in pristine order. Instead I was pleasantly surprised by a welcoming room with people dressed casually.A short curvy blonde named Lennie was the first to say hello. Her face was priceless when she was caught with a piece of pizza hanging from her mouth. Once seated, Lennie overviewed the purpose of the Hive. A tall, skinny male with shaggy brown hair and brown eyes stared at me with a blank expression as he sat across from me. His faded band t-shirt and jeans looked wrinkled as if he hadn't had any sleep in days. If I had to guess, that was Jax. Next to him was a tall red head, a woman with delicate features. She was naturally beautiful which was accentuated with a dusting of freckles along her cheeks and the bridge of her nose. She had a beaming smile and green eyes t
EVELYN POVAs I pulled up to Domino's Gym, I noticed the familiar vehicles of my team. I was surprised they all beat me when usually I was the first one to show up for meetings. I walked into the main entry of the gym and was greeted by our regular clients. Buddha was in the weight room spotting Arrow on the bench press. As soon as Buddha noticed me, a wide grin filled his face. It was their queue that it was time for the meeting.The conference room was located on the far side of the gym, hidden by a set of double doors that read “employees only.” I placed my hand on the scanner so it could read my handprint. It was a security measure that ensured that no patron would access the area. The scanner beeped and allowed me access through the doors. The bare hallway illuminated as I walked down the hallway that led to the conference room. The conference room was large with a huge oak table sat in the middle. On the back wall lined artillery and tech gear. Adjacent hung a large screen to
Evelyn POV As I entered the skyscraper of RSS, I was greeted by the friendly face of Lennie. She handed me my badge and guided me through security. One of the security officers chuckled when he saw the contents of my bag. Snoozie slippers, marshmallows, a massive yeti filled with coffee, and a framed picture of me and Alfredo.My face heated. I couldn’t help that I needed certain things in order to function and if I wanted to make this look real I needed to personalize my office space. “Welcome Ms. Mowers. I hope you enjoy your marshmallows.” The officer greeted me. Lennie looked confused until she saw my bag. “You’ll fit in just fine. Don’t worry.” Lennie said, giving my arm a little squeeze. As we entered the Hive, I was greeted by Gwen and Ollie. Jax barely spared a glance my way and continued to tap away on his keyboard. As I got settled, I booted up my work computer and put in my credentials. That’s when I noticed my task list along with the rest of the team. Annoyed as I r
Kade POV“Who ratted on Ricci’s shipment? I won’t ask you again.” I rested my hands on the two armrests that our current captive was tied to. We had been at this for over 2 hours. We needed to find out if Ricci was the one messing with our shipments now that one of his had been hit. But first we needed to know who attacked Ricci. “I swear man, I have no idea. I’m just a transporter for him. No one tells me anything.” The gaunt faced man cried. His little beady eyes filled with tears. I sighed and scrubbed a hand down my face. I squeezed Machine’s shoulder for him to take over. An evil grin took over Evan’s face. The guy had too many loose screws in his head. But that was why I also needed him. He was notorious for getting information. Twirling a knife in his hand he stalked towards the bloody man in the chair. “We are going to play a little game. It’s called I am going to cut things off until you talk. Don’t worry I’ll make sure that you stay alive until you do.” Machine crouched
Evelyn POVI walked into RSS Friday morning to complete chaos. Servers were down, phones weren’t working and staff were racing around the building trying to figure out what was going on. I rushed to the Hive where Jax was already seated typing frantically. “What’s going on?” I asked, quickly logging into items I could. When Jax didn’t respond, I repeated myself. “Jax, what the fuck is going on? You can resume whatever beef you have with me after we fix whatever is happening.” He ran a hand through his hair. My voice snapping me out of what he was working on. “A virus was planted into the server. I can’t find where the bug came from but it’s attacking the entire database.”Fuck this was wasn’t good. I couldn’t help but wonder if the glitches I found were connected to this. “Have you tried calling Mr. Romano?” “Yeah but he’s not picking up, and his secretary said he won’t be in until later this morning. The one day that he doesn’t come in early, Armageddon decides to happen.” The
