Marc (Bowen Boys, #4)(25)



“Where are you?” She told him. “Christ, I wish I was there. Touch yourself for me, Jonny. Tell me how you feel.”

“Wet. And hot. My fingers are coated with my juices, and my clit is hard.” She brushed against it and moaned. “Marc, I’m going to come like this. Will you come with me?”

“Yes. I’m going to come just thinking about you playing with that beautiful * of yours.” She heard him moan. “My balls are full and they’re aching. When I get home I’m going to lean you over a chair and I’m going to f*ck you hard from behind. Then when you’re able to move again, I’m going to take you into the woods and let my cat take you. Would you like that? Him to f*ck your cat hard out in the woods?”

She cried out her climax when she thought of him doing just that, his body pressing her down to the ground as he took her hard. When he roared out his own release, she came again, saying his name over and over as she pinched her clit. She lay there as both their breathing slowed back to normal.

“Christ, that was fantastic.” She laughed at him. “I’ve never had phone sex before. I never dreamed it could be so…fulfilling.”

“Neither did I. But I have to take a shower anyway. I’m a mess.” He moaned again and she laughed. “You can’t possibly think that it’s sexy to be all sticky after sex.”

“I find everything about you sexy, especially when you’re all sticky after sex. I’d like it better if I was the one who got you all sticky, but I’ll take care of that when I get home. I’m planning to make you extremely sated as well.”

He told her again what had happened with her parents, but he didn’t mention her dad’s fall and the stitches again. She was grateful for that; she didn’t want to think about him being hurt. She told him about what his dad had said about her birth parents.

“You had to know that they couldn’t be your real parents, right?” She told him that she’d figured it out when she’d shifted and they didn’t know what to do. “I’m sure they didn’t. You think it was the first time they realized that you were something different than them?”

“I do. Mom was completely freaked out, and Dad…well, you’ve met him. Nothing much fazes him, but my going from little girl not wanting to be told she couldn’t go out with a much older boy to a panther snarling at him made him say a few curse words I’d never heard before, and pretty sure I’ve not heard since.”

He laughed. “I’m thinking you’re not much different now than you were then. Maybe a little more…vocal than before, but just as stubborn.”

She stretched out on the bed as she thought of Roy. “He’s going to be really mad when he finds that Mom and Dad are gone, won’t he? He won’t be able to use them against me again.”

“No, he won’t, and we’re hoping he’s mad. Angry people make ten times more mistakes than people who are calm and collected.” She heard another voice. “The pilot just announced that we’ll be landing in a few minutes. I’ll see you in about an hour, okay?”

“I’ll be here.” She heard him speak again and closed her eyes. “Marc, if after this is over you want me to go away, I will, but I’ll stay until this man is behind bars.”

“I won’t ever want you to leave me. Never, Jonny.” He cleared his throat. “I’ve fallen in love with you.”

She lay there for ten minutes, thinking about what he’d said. He loved her. How was that even possible when he knew so little about her? Getting up, she went to the shower and decided to take a bath, something she’d not been able to do in years. Filling the tub, she thought about him and what he’d done for her and with her. She was stepping into the tub when she realized something.

“I’m in love with him too.”





Chapter 9


Roy walked around the house again. He couldn’t believe that they’d left and no one had seen it happen. Well they had, but they didn’t notice that they were leaving for good. He stepped over the body of one of the guards and moved to the basement again. Nothing. There wasn’t a damned thing in the entire house that even looked like anyone lived there. Not one stick of furniture and not even a box of corn flakes. Everything was gone.

Harris came down the stairs just as Roy was going back up them. “Have you found out anything? I mean how the f*ck did they get an entire house full of furniture and personal items out of here so quickly?”

“Don’t know. But you should know that Anita is on her way here. She’s spitting mad too.” Like he needed that right now, Roy thought. “Something else. I found some tire marks in the backyard. Looks heavy when it drove off, probably loaded with the furniture.”

No shit, he thought, and moved to the empty kitchen again and leaned against the counter. The older Thomas had had an apparent heart attack just two days ago. The men that had been stationed to watch the house had gone to get dinner before they’d called it in. Harris told them to go to the hospital and find out what they could on the couple and to call him back. It was nearly seven hours later before anyone did. And that conversation would be burned in his memory forever.

“We can’t find them. We’ve been to five different hospitals and nobody seems to know nothing about nobody named Thomas being admitted. He and his missus ain’t nowhere.” Roy had listened to the entire conversation via speakerphone.
