“You don’t want me to fuck you?” I asked.

“No. No, I don’t.” she said, turning her face away but I could feel her resolve melting against me.

“No?” I teased and grabbed her hair and used it to bring her mouth to mine again.

“Tommy, I can’t.”

“Hm?” I got a hand under the shirt, into her panties, and to her ass. I squeezed and tongued her throat.

“You don’t have to, because I can. You just gotta take what I have to give you.” I grinded against her.

“Tommy, I really don’t think I can. All I can think about is poor Tess, and–”

“I have news. She’s okay. She’s in Zack’s hands by tonight.”

“Huh?” She jerked back and looked at me, wide-eyed.

“We’ll go to Vegas tonight, meet with Zack, get Tessa.”

The rest of the tension and anger in her locked tight body melted away, totally forgotten with this news.

“She’s okay? Thank God. Oh my God, ohmygod!”

“She is now, but I don’t know what she’s been through.”

“Where was she?”

“Mexico. Nephew of Juan Carlos Castillo has her.”

Tia jolted.

“Someone else took her but he got her back as a goodwill offering to us. Long story, can’t get into it right now. I would’ve told you last night, but you were dead asleep. Pack for us? Shit for three, no make it five days, just in case. Something formal, too. We’ll need formal for the Fete opening so pack my black Boss tux. If you want, you can buy your dress there. Up to you.”

She stared at me.

“Sarah and Tessa’s boys are coming so Tess can see her boys right away. Talked to Sarah last night.”

“Uh, wait. Um…”

She looked stunned. I knew she was trying to absorb all the facts I’d just spewed, but she was also thinking about being in Mexico, when Earl Johnson had taken her from me and put her through that hell.

I rubbed her shoulders and kissed her forehead.

“Gotta stay there a few days. It’s strategic. She’ll need to see her boys so we’ll bring them and Sarah can look after them. I’ll get someone to bring racks of dresses in to the hotel for you two to go through, if you want?”

“I’m not going to the Fete opening.”

“Yeah, I need you on my arm. I want Tessa there, too. I’m booking a hotel suite for all of us to stay together and it’ll be under heavy security.”

“I want nothing to do with that. I’d rather just stay home. I also don’t even want you to go but whatever.”

“Huh? What’s all this?”

“If you have to do Vegas, can you do Vegas alone, please?”

“Because you’re worried you’ll be sick the whole time?”

“Because I don’t wanna go. How on earth can you expect your sister, after being kidnapped, to go to a sex club opening?”
