I woke up after a power nap with Seth's body resting over mine, shielding me. It was getting severe from that passionate kiss, and I could tell he was holding back, but instead, it was another misread sign. He wanted to cuddle and hold me, and I let myself be drawn to him.I planned to leave and see Odin, but Seth had taken my thoughts away. Now, I don't want to go, but I need to. His presence himself seems to have been a distraction. Hearing his soft snores behind me, I shift my body slightly and face him. I sneaked an arm around his waist and ran my hand over his back. I felt the chill on his skin and began rubbing vigorously."Feels good," he mumbled; I chuckled."Seth?" I whispered. He responded by pulling me close to his chest, where I could hear his heart go wild. "Seth, I have to go."He didn't say a word and just slept.We spent the last half hour kissing, hugging, and getting ourselves naked. I'm a bit disappointed, but I can wait. Maybe learning of my past and pregnancy seem
It's been a while since I've visited Odin's office. After another hot, passionate kiss with Seth, I'm getting lazy and not coming here. Even Seth wouldn't let me go and began to whine like a child. I couldn't help but get mad at him because his expression was too adorable. But I'm obligated to finish the mission. I straighten my suit jacket, brush my hair back, and let out a heavy sigh.I softly knock on the wooden polished door with my knuckles. "Come in," his deep voice seems demanding yet overpowering.I open the door and step inside, walking towards his desk slowly as I look around. The office has stayed the same; everything is in place and clean through and through. Odin's office space is more extensive than most because he's the boss. It's a vast space with window walls that curve where you can see most of Los Angeles. On the walls are paintings he had purchased or were gifted to him from friends, but now they are taken down and replaced with pictures of his family, smiling and
Muffles of cries and tears filled the room as I pointed my gun at the head of this old hag bitch.Kendall is handling Paola's boy toys as they huddle in the corner. She held her handmade gun that could cause the inside to explode. I've seen her do it once with one of the guards. I've cut a lot of people, but nothing compares to what Kendall did. She was going crazy like Rambo.I explained why I decided to join her and hunt down Paola. I told her Seth's story because she's been through it with Gunnar. I watch how her behavior goes wild. We flew here by jet, and Kendall was the pilot. She fully thrust and had us arrive at Vegas airport within minutes. Then she drove by car like a NASCAR driver. My organs felt bouncy inside, and I've been through dangerous stunts. I jumped out of a plane, swam with sharks, and skied down a mountain from an avalanche. But when Kendall drives, I have to pray to God that I get to where I go. I'm not saying she's the wrong driver; it's just that she gets too
"Baby?" Seth calls out; he puts on his million-dollar smile, flashing those perfectly white teeth. "Miss me already?" I chuckle and flirt. Then I shift my eyes at Paola, who doesn't care, then back at him. "Always." "Where are you?" He moves his head around the phone screen, trying to get an angle. "Why do I see blood on the wall and you? Are you okay?" I love how he worries about me even when I'm covered in blood. "I'm in Vegas. And don't worry, it's not mine. But listen, Seth, the story you told me about that woman who tortured you in Japan?" Seth's face went pale, and he got quiet. "Terry, babe, I don't want to think about it. That woman is dead. Please don't bring her up." It breaks my heart to hear his voice sound so painful. I promise I won't have him suffer anymore. "Seth, I understand, but that woman...she's not dead." "What do you mean?" His thick and neat brows furrow in confusion. "I was told she died." "By who?" I ask. "My old boss." "That's a lie." "Baby, I swe
Documents and confidential information appear on the widescreen as I carefully look at each one, all about Eva and the Order. On the top right corner are mugshots of the executives and Eva; Sully and Paola have been marked as deceased in big red letters.Only two executives are left until we reach the top of the food chain.I hear the sounds of machines as I look over at Kendall's side; sparks of blue light appear on or off as she works on another one of her crazy gadgets. I went through my head, figuring out the purpose of the island Eva purchased. She calls it Paradise Island, a small island off the coast of the Caribbean. Our air support captured the island unseen, and it only captured a small hut and no visual of Hugo or Eva."What the hell is on that island?" I mumbled. I rub my head before my brain can be fried from all this thinking.The elevator ding and I turn my head as Gunnar steps out, pissed.I pinch my lips.He glared at me. "Don't. Even."I hold my hand up. "I'm not doi
I drove up to the Reid's house as I shut off my bike's engine. Effie had texted me that they were all back home. It was already past bedtime, and I planned to pick up Poppy and take us home, but it seemed too late. I just had a talk with Odin about the hidden laboratory and concocted Eva's plan for using the drug. Odin had sent out scouts to check out Paradise Island.Five went in. Zero came out.We had lost visual and audio contact with the scout team. The last image was a person; Kendall had it closed up, and high-quality footage, as we saw, didn't look human. It had crazy bloody eyes and foam coming out from its mouth, and it attacked one of our team who had the camera. It was the same symptoms as Myles. Before the camera could lose visual, we saw not one but lots of them. It's the reason why the scout team lost their lives. It was a tragic scene to watch. It's like watching a horror film.A lot has happened within a day, and I want to get home to my daughter and man. I must rest m
"Cap, we are ten miles towards the island," Gunnar announced through the headset while he flew the helicopter.Kendall and I strap the parachute pack on our backs, wear wetsuits, and prepare to fall into the water to reach the island."Ken, you got the smokers?" I ask while I strap my boots tight and sheath the small weapons in my belt."They are here," she put the bag next to her. "What did Seth say when you left?"The thought of this morning had me smirking. "He wouldn't let me go.""Were you guys naked?" Kendall wiggles her brows and grins as I hear Gunnar groaning through the headset, knowing he doesn't want to listen to this conversation. "You know, in ancient times, before a big battle, the soldiers would make love with their lovers as a way for them to return.""No," I assure her, rolling my eyes at her assertion. Her words are unpredictable; I couldn't even argue with her. Although I don't want to go through details of how his hard rock cock was poking me in the back. "I had t
As the lift door opened, my eyes tried to adjust to the darkness of the secret lab. The only light source we had was the light of the lift."Lights on," I command.I switched on my head's light strap as I stepped forward. My boots stepped on broken glass, followed by crunching sounds behind me, led by Gunnar and Kendall. I check my surroundings, always being cautious, aiming my gun at wide-open spaces of the lab. This place seems more extensive than on video."Fuck, this place is a total wreck," Gunnar proclaims. "It's like a hurricane hit here.""Kendall, got on a reading?" I ask her.Her infrared gadget tells us it is beeping if anybody is done here. "I see four live bodies, but they are strapped on the other side of that door straight ahead.""There are more?" Gunnar says softly.We approached forward towards a keycard door. I stepped back, let Gunnar implant a C4 paste on the handle, and pressed the button. As we took a step back a few feet while the bomb beeps, it gave out a soun
