Marc (Bowen Boys, #4)(24)
“Then I’m afraid you’re royally f*cked.” Marc decided that he didn’t much care for his sister-in-law at that moment and thought that if he ever got the chance, he was going to get back at her. Grinning, he thought that he’d most definitely live longer if he just let it go. Besides, she’d done him a huge favor today, and he always paid his debt.

She was sitting in the big overstuffed chair, reading a book to one of the children, when Corrine came back into the room. She looked so excited that Jonny didn’t ask who was on the phone when it was handed to her. She said hello and waited for someone to speak.
“Jonny? It’s Mom, love. We’re safe. He got us out, we’re coming to you.” Jonny sat up in the chair, completely forgetting about the little bodies sitting next to her.
“You’re fine? Roy didn’t hurt you this time?” Her mom said no. “Mom, I’ve been so worried. They said it would work, that I didn’t have…. You’re really coming here? Now?”
“Yes.” She heard her mom sob, and she cried too. The little boy hugged her hard, and she hugged him back. When he handed her a stuffed dog, she wasn’t sure what to do with it, so he took it from her and used it to wipe her tears. Her dad came on the line while she was laughing at little George.
“That’s what I needed to hear. Just you laughing made that sock in the jaw well worth it. Are you doing okay, honey? Your mom is blubbering a mile a minute.” She nodded, then spoke.
“I’m fine now. So fine.” She smiled, then remembered what he’d said. “Who hit you? They said you wouldn’t be hurt. Tell me who hit you.”
“Now, Jonny, it was necessary for that young man to make me fall and hit my head. It had to sound real if they were—”
“You hit your head too?” Jonny took a deep breath. “Dad, let me talk to Marc, please? I’d like to have a few words with him.”
Marc came on the line and started talking before she had a chance to ask him. “I was supposed to make it look good. I think your dad actually enjoyed it. That is up until he hit his head. He wasn’t supposed to grab the plates either, but he said it had better sound effects than him just falling like he was supposed to do, and Walker said the cut should heal pretty nicely. The bump looks a lot worse than it is, but again Walker said he’d be fine.” He stopped talking, and she had to smile when he spoke again. “Jonny, are you going to hurt me when I get home?”
“You deserve it. What the hell were you thinking hitting a man, a human man like that?” She smiled when he started again. “I’m kidding. I’m so grateful that you all made it out that I can’t…I don’t know what to say.”
“You don’t have to say anything. We actually…Dylan and I have decided that we’re never going to sell magazines door to door again. Women are…someone tried to seduce us. She came out of her kitchen naked.” She laughed and sat down again holding the little animal while he told her what had happened with getting her parents out.
“You all really are fine?” He told her that they were. “I don’t know how to thank you and your family for what you did for me. I feel so much better knowing that they’re safe from him.”
“It was my pleasure.” She heard him say something to someone else, and then a door close. “We should be landing in about an hour. The pilot said that there is a good wind behind us.”
“Khan said I couldn’t come to meet you in case Roy is watching the house. Once my parents come through the gate here, he won’t know that they’re here either. He said that staying here will keep them safer.” She leaned back in the chair when Corrine took little George for his bath. “I had a talk with your brother and your dad while you were gone. They said that you and I are connected and that when I leave, you’ll be able to find me. Is that true?”
He was quiet for a few seconds. “Do you want to leave me, Jonny? Because I don’t want you to. I need you in my life, and the thought of you even thinking about leaving is tearing me apart.”
“I’m not cut out for being a domestic cat or human, Marc. I can barely boil water without having four pots involved. You saw what I ate all the time. It was cheap, sure, but it was all I trusted myself to cook.”
“I can cook. Besides, we can hire someone for that part. It’s the other fringe benefits I love about having you around.” She asked him what kind of benefits. “Well, there’s the fact that you can wash my back for me in the shower. A man can’t have a too clean back. Then there’s the little fact that you smell really good. Especially when you’re wet for me. Do you have any idea how much I love that scent?”
“You make me wet just by talking to me in that low, rumbling voice. And when you touch my skin…Marc, this isn’t a good idea. I’m going to need to take a cold shower if we don’t stop this now.” He growled and she felt her * soak.
“My cock is hard right now. And I can’t wait to get home to take you. I don’t even care if it’s in a bed or in the hall. Slide your fingers into your * and tell me how wet you are, and I’ll try not to come all over my hand when you do.” She looked around the room to make sure she was alone before she slid her fingers over her soaking crotch. She moaned in the phone.
“I’m very wet. My jeans are wet all the way through.” He growled at her to go to their bedroom they were using while they were at Khan’s. She ran up the stairs and locked the door behind her. Telling him to hang on, she stripped down and got on the bed.
