Caught: In a Case (10 page)

“I love you my husband.”

We fell asleep too tired to shower.

Less than two weeks ago my life was completely different. I was a hard working lawyer who thought
I would be a bachelor all my life. Now I am a hard loving husband to a girl who is almost half my age. I can’t complain. Except for the age gap I feel secure as hell with our relationship.

The next day we slept in until noon and stayed in bed talking. It’s the most we have done since we met. I learned a lot about my girl today. She was smart as shit with anything but math; she hated that shit. My girl was
bubbly; she smiled and talked about everything under the sun. The fact that she is a teenager is still a shock to me. I never thought I would fall for a baby. But she is mine and I am not giving her back. I already informed her ass that she wasn’t going to school any time soon, end of discussion. She pouted, but I was serious there were too many guys her age there and if any of them looked like the fucktard ex or the ass from last night I would lose my mind. If she wanted to do some online classes I would be cool with that.

We are wealthy and she doesn’t need to work so the only reason to go to school would be for the fun of it. If she wants to learn about history we can
travel or I can buy her all the books she wants. I explained it to her and she understood. Then, for being such a good girl, I ravished her. Okay it was for me too. I love this woman and her tasty, tight treasure.

The next day the girls wanted to do some girly things like hitting a spa. “Don’t be having any guys give you a massage, okay?”

“Of course, babe. You are the only guy I want to massage me. Besides I am not getting a massage today. I will see you tonight.”

I kissed the shit out of her before she left. I didn’t like her going without me but it was a girl thing and I wanted her to bond with my other two favorite women. Mike was going to be with them. Milo was with me, today. I was heading into the office. I didn’t need the protection but my wife was worried because the threat had been to harm me not her. I agreed just because I can’t really say no to her. I trusted Mike fully. I know he took this shit seriously.

I needed to look into things at the office here. I hadn’t been in it in about a month and you know how it is ‘when the cat’s away the mouse will play’. I had a great staff so I wasn’t too concerned.
Because some of my employees made the transfer to Seattle we had to hire new employees here and I left that up to Thompson and James.

“Welcome back Mr. Blake,” said the ever cheerful receptionist.

“Hello Margo, how is the family?”

“They are doing well. My daughter just got accepted to Harvard!”

“Congratulations, well if she is looking in to law there is always room for an intern.”

“Thank you, I will tell her. I hear congratulations are in order for you too, sir.”

“Yes, I am a very lucky man.” She has been an asset to this company for the past 20 years. Before I started in this office it was just two other partners one was Margo’s husband Robert Thurgood and his cousin Michael Spencer. Thompson was also working his way up to being partner. They brought me on and I became partner within my first two years. Then Thurgood and Spencer retired and made Thompson and James partners.

Milo went to get us some coffee so I was all alone and was hoping to spend some me time thinking about what I want to do to my wife when I get home and handle this tent in my trousers.
I got to my office without having to stop and chit-chat with any of the staff, good because I getting hornier just thinking about her. I didn’t have a secretary in this location so I just unlocked my door and went in and was caught off guard. “What the fuck are you doing in my office?”

“Oh
Jax baby, I just had to see you. I wanted you to see what you are missing by playing house with that child.” She was sitting on my desk naked. God my wife would shit bricks; there went the erection I had been sporting a moment ago.

“Get the fuck out of here Samantha. Don’t make me call the cops.” My door was open and Milo walked in
just as this tramp had thrown herself onto me. I was tempted to choke the broad. I pushed her off of me. Milo threw her clothes at her. “I am giving you one minute to get the fuck out of here. I won’t say it again. I have never had an interest in you. Even before I met my wife I didn’t want you. Why would I want you now?”

The commotion was heard in the hall. I was soon surrounded by my staff. Fantastic, now there is going to be a scene, but hell if I was going to close the door. I don’t want anyone to say I was alone with her especially with her ass naked. I wouldn’t do anything to hurt my girl. All it would take would be one rumor.

My command that everyone go back to work or be fired got them away from my office. Milo escorted her out from around my desk just as her father walked in. “Unhand my daughter.”

“Milo is escorting her out.”

“Why the hell would you embarrass me like that by tossing her out?”

I was livid who the fuck did he think he was
I was the senior partner here. “Your daughter should be embarrassed. Your daughter was unclothed on my desk waiting for me. Which pisses me off because who told her I would be in the office today? You had to have told her since I only mentioned it to you this morning.”

I was pacing. “She is lucky I don’t press charges, coming in here. This office should have been locked; then for her to come at me naked. I have made it clear many times that I wasn’t interested. If my wife gets upset by this I will have her ass arrested.”

He huffed and walked his daughter out. “Boss man, I don’t like this. Do you think they had anything to do with the shit in Seattle?”

“I am starting to think so. There has been tension between us since I was hired.”

I tried not to think about it and I sure as hell wasn’t going to sit at that desk until everything had been replaced.

“Fuck I am going to have to tell Elizabeth about this.”

“Sir, its better you told her right away. I mean if you wait it will make you look like you did something wrong and we know that’s not the case. Damn crazy broad.”

“I know, I know. It’s our first day apart and I have already had a naked woman in my arms. How the fuck is she going to trust me after that?”
I rubbed my hands through my hair.

“Let’s walk around and meet some of the employees then I am going to have a sit down with Thompson. I don’t want to ruin Elizabeth’s spa day.”

The rest of the morning was calm and my new employees, mostly women were nice and polite. I think after the scene earlier no one was stupid enough to flirt with me. I went to meet with that sorry excuse for a lawyer but his assistant told me he left for the day.

I called my girl just to hear her voice four times already. I couldn’t wait to see her. She was having a great time with the girls.
I didn’t tell her about that bullshit this morning it was still messing with me. I knew I would be pissed if some dude did that shit to her, so hell if I was going to tell her now, that would kill the fun they were having together. I was happy that she was bonding so well with my family but a little jealous. I need some of my girl’s kisses which she promised to give me all night long.

I was done for the day and about to leave when I got the call I never
ever wanted to get. “Pops what’s up?”

“Son, the girls have been in an accident. I am on my way to C
ounty general.” I nearly blacked out. I was out of the building in seconds. “Milo they have been in an accident.”

I drove like a bat out of hell. My girl, my mom
, my sister, and my right hand man. Fuck I need to get there. I was only like five minutes but it felt like forever. I pulled it up to the emergency and handed my key to Milo to park. I saw my father’s assistant. “Where are they?” “I am looking for my wife, Elizabeth.”

“She has been taken into surgery.” The young man had taken me to where my father and mother were together. She had been
cleared to be released with a just few bruises and a sprained arm. She had been the lucky one. The other three were in surgery.

I ran up to her and hugged her tightly forgetting her injuries. “Mom, I am sorry.” I uttered when I heard her groan.

“Tell me how is she? How are they?”

“We don’t know yet they were all banged up pretty bad. Elizabeth has the worst of the injuries. The thing is son it wasn’t an accident. She was shot.” I paled and fell to the
ground on my knees and covering my tearstained face. Before I knew what was happening I was being picked up off the ground and put in the chair next to my mom. There was a team of nurses and a doctor by my side. “You need to go take care of my wife not me, I am fine!” I was fucking shocked. Somebody was going to pay.

“I need to see her. I need to see her.”

“Sir, you can’t she is in surgery, once she is out you will be able to see her.” It had been the longest hour of my life. I had just gotten up and was told they were still working on her so I continued my current occupation of running the carpet bare, with my pacing. Not a moment later did the surgeon’s assistant come and asked us to follow her. We were in the OR recovery room and I could see doctor’s working on someone. Was it my Lizzy, my Buttercup?

“Sir your wife is in recovery as well as Miss Blake and Mr. Mancini.”

“How is my brother?”

“He is at present a little out of it. He has been calling for Miss Blake.”
We all looked to each other, Mike was a bit overprotective of my sister.

“Can I see her
, my Lizzy?”

“Just you Mr. Blake. She needs her rest. Okay?” The nurse escorted me into the recovery area
while my family and Milo were taken to see the others. I got the curtained area just as the nurse opened it and there she was looking like a broken sleeping beauty. I felt the break in my heart start to repair, she was alive. The rest I can deal with later because I get what I want and I wanted the bastards involved dead. I am sure I was going to get a visit from the detectives but I would have to take care of this on the side, no cops, just the best.

I walked to the side of the bed and let the tears flow. I didn’t give a shit if anyone saw. Lying in the bed broken was the woman I was supposed to protect and it was clear as fuck that they were going after her to get to me. I hope Mike had some insight into who the fuck chased them down. Some nurse brought me a chair and I sat holding her hand for what seemed like forever waiting for her to come through, to tell me it’s going to be alright. I want my kisses she promised me
, damn it.

The same nurse was on duty. She seemed to be there solely for my girl, which was good because I wanted all the attention she needed to be given at all times. The woman was about fifty, stocky with shocking red hair. She looked at my girl funny, sort of shock and sadness, at least twice now.

Half an hour later I was visited by two Detectives a Thomas Reid and a Pamela Bell. The fuck was looking at me with suspicion and I wanted to punch him in the face. I didn’t have time for this my girl was hurt.

“Mr. Blake, we need to ask you and your wife some questions.” He said ‘your wife in a fucked up tone, like he didn’t approve. Fuck him.

“As you can see she is not able to talk to you right now. I don’t know what happened until I talk to my wife and the rest of those in the car so I have shit to give you.”

“I will be the judge of that.” Said the fuck

“What the hell do you want to know?”

“We are not your enemies Mr. Blake we are just trying to get the person who attacked them.” Detective Bell said trying to diffuse the tension that her partner was letting loose.

“You don’t think I want this bastard too? He tried to kill my wife and my family.”

“Do you have anyone against your marriage?”

“You seem to be against it.” I looked like I was about to drop the motherfucker and he reddened.

“I can’t understand why a grown man would want to marry a child.”

“Who the fuck do you think you are? It’s none of your business. I married my wife because I love her, we are both adults so I don’t give a shit who has a problem with it.”

My dad and Milo had heard the raised voices and came into the room. “What’s going on son?”

“Nothing Pops the cops here are seeing if my marriage made enemies. Detective Reid seems to think our age difference is a point of contention. Detective there is someone who does not agree with our marriage but they are in Seattle and they do not know about the wedding since we got married a few days ago in Vegas.”

“What about your business partner Thompson’s daughter?” Milo had said.

“Yes, that is true. Her name is Samantha Thompson, she has been trying for years to be with me.”

“We will look into it and if she is guilty she will be charged as soon as possible.” That’s the first time I agreed with the fuck he seemed attached to this case like it was a priority.
He makes it seem personal. They said they would return when Elizabeth was awake and ready to talk.

It had been over two hours when I finally felt her hand move.
I jumped up from my seat and stood over her face. “Buttercup, baby talk to me! Oh god I thought I lost you!”

“Jackson my arm hurts…” I yelled for the nearest nurse to come over and do something to make it better. “Please tell me their okay. Please.” She was in tears. “Yes baby girl they are going to be fine. My mom was just in here to look on you. They are
all going to stay at the hospital in the room they put Zoey in. Mike is trying to get out of the bed to check on you girls. I need to speak with him and the detectives want to speak to you soon, Elizabeth. I told them they had to wait until tomorrow.”

“I love you Jackson. I am sorry that this happened to your family if I wasn’t there they would be fine.”

“Don’t you dare say that again! You are my family. We love you and I can’t be without you.”

I kissed her chapped lips gently. “Jackson, can I have some water?”

“Here you are Mrs. Blake.” The nurse who had been there in the recovery area held up a large pill for the pain and a cup with the straw to her lips.

“Thank you.”
She whispered and laid back.

“Don’t you worry Miss we will take care of you. You are going to be moved into a room now. Before you do
though, the doctor will be in here to see you.” She walked away and I returned my eyes back to my girl who was visibly upset. I can’t blame her, she had a hell of a day and she almost died. Just thinking about it makes me choke in anger.

“Sweetheart.
I am sorry that I didn’t protect you and that someone is trying to hurt you to get to me. Can you forgive me? I brought this into your life. I pursued you and now this happened.”

“Come here.” I bent down to get closer her face. “Don’t, for one moment buster think that you have anything to be forgiven for.
” She pulled my head with her left arm and kissed me hard. That was it, fuck I needed to know she was going to be okay. A kiss that was supposed to make a point turned into a passionate intense kissing session. It was the knock of the doctor on the wall that made me jump back. “You miss should be resting instead of accosting your husband.” I smiled at her.

“Can you blame me you are so handsome and I thought I would never see you again.” I watch her smile falter and the tears come.
“Oh, baby girl, you are alive and I am never letting anything happen to you again.” I held her on to her until they moved us to a room. The doc had said she was doing well and would probably make a fast recovery.

We spent the next
four days in the hospital to make sure there were no hiccups with their recovery. I hadn’t asked my girl again what had happened. The first time she freaked out and began to cry. I am going to have to talk to the guys alone today. I didn’t want to leave my girl’s side for a moment I was paranoid that she would disappear if I left. Zoey was wheeled in to see us by Mike. Despite his injuries he was still tending to her. There was something going on between them and I am not sure I like it. I mean he’s my guy I can trust him with anything but she is my sister. Maybe it’s just that he feels like he failed us in not protecting them. Hell they would be dead according to police from the tire tracks and eyewitness encounters.

Mike and Milo had been having discussions. The police had been trying to talk to my wife but since her breakdown they had decided to give it time. Once we got home
I took my wife to her bed and put her to sleep my mom said she would look in on her while I had a discussion with the men.

“Now damn before I go fucking insane. What happened?”

“Too late for that son.” I think that this had been an eye opener for Pops. He almost lost his whole family, I say whole because I wouldn’t have survived losing my girl and my mother and sister. I am sure he was looking for revenge as much as I was.

“We were leaving the salon when the girls wanted to stop and pick up a treat for you. We had just exited the store when that broad from the other night came up to us and told Elizabeth that she just had amazing sex with you at the office. No, no don’t trip boss your girl handled that shit.”

I was fucking fuming. I’ll gut that bitch for that alone. “She told her ‘so good now you know what my pussy tastes like’. It set that other chick off. She tried to smack your wife but I put a stop to it real quick. Then her father came up behind and took her away.”

“Why didn’t you call me?”

“She asked me not to and seeing that it was really personal to her I didn’t think it was good to have that conversation in public. Well we got in the truck and headed down the road back to the house and they were laughing about a silly story of you as a boy. Then we were hit from the side. At first I was dazed and was about to get out and check on the situation but gunfire opened up. I jump in the truck and sped off. They gave chase but Elizabeth had already been shot. I drove toward town and the hospital and tried to dodge them. I did shoot the motherfucking bastard so he must be at some hospital but the police haven’t got a lead since no one but your wife came in with a GSW. The car was one of them old tough sons of bitches, a beige Chevrolet Impala.”

There was a knock at the door, interrupting Mike’s breakdown of events. “Sweetheart,
Lizzy is asking for you.”

They understood that my girl came first. “We will start the search and figure out how to deal with the cops.”

“Thanks fellas.”
