My blood ran cold in my veins as I knew she wasright.

As the daydragged on from morning until noon, I wasn’t exactly happy with the results Gannon’s investigators had come backwith.
They’d talked to Cassandra Harrington early that morning. They thought she acted kind of suspicious, but she had a solid alibi for the night before. A man who was at her place with her had verbally vouched forher.
But that wasn’t cutting it for me, even though they said they’d keep her on their radar, whatever the hell thatmeant.
We were in the playroom after giving Braiden lunch. He went down for a nap, and Gannon was working on his laptop, taking care of his business from home. I got on my cell and started texting mysister.
Brianna was an avid mystery reader and an amateur sleuth. I thought some covert work would be right up her alley. And I was spot on when she responded to my first text that asked her if she’d heard about what was going on with me and Gannon and Braiden. She was quick to reply that I needed to call her. We had totalk.
So I excused myself to go to the bathroom and went to the one down the hallway, leaving Gannon and Braiden in theplayroom.
As soon as I knew I was out of earshot from everyone as I closed the bathroom door, I made the call to my sister. “What the hell is happening, baby sis? Brad’s called everyone, telling them about you and the ordeal you’re going through. Is it true that bullets came into your bedroom last night?” sheasked.
“Right through my window.” I chewed on my pinky fingernail nervously. “It was the scariest thing I’ve ever beenthrough.”
“You’ve got to tell me all about it. Every lastdetail.”
I told her all about it, leaving out the little detail that Gannon had been right there with me every step of the way. But I did tell her that Braiden and I had slept in Gannon’s bed with him for the rest of the night as he wasn’t going to let either of us out of his sight. That was true, afterall.
When she responded that she was glad he was taking such good care of me, I felt like a tiny step had been made. At the very least, my family was seeing that Gannon could protectme.
I went on to tell her about Cassandra Harrington, and Brianna looked her up on the Internet and found out there was a park near her house. She could go there and keep an eye out for Cassandra to come out of her house. Then she could follow her and accidentally meet her. She’d get moving and let me know as soon as she knewanything.
Heading back to hang with Gannon while Braiden slept, I found him coming down the hallway as I stepped out of the bathroom. “There you are.” His brow was furrowed, and he rubbed the back of his neck. “I know I’m being overly protective, but if anything happens to you …” He stopped himself as I got to him and ran my arms around him. His lips touched the top of my head, and he wrapped his arms around me, swaying with me. “I see why your family is so protective of you now. You’re just so darn loveable.” He gave me a squeeze as he picked me up, my feet dangling in theair.
He carried me back into the playroom and took a seat on one of the sofas, keeping me on his lap. Braiden was still fast asleep on his pallet. We were mostly alone, and I saw the gleam in Gannon’s blueeyes.
His lips touched my ear. “Wanna fool around veryquietly?”
“Gannon!” I smacked his chest as I blushed with the thought of doing anything sexual with the boy right in the same room with us. I didn’t care if he was sleeping or not, it felt wrong. My eyes shot to where he was and then back to Gannon. “Noway.”
He looked at Braiden and smiled. “He’s dead to the world, baby. Come on.” He pulled me close and nibbled my earlobe. “Even daddies need naughtytime.”
I had to laugh at his silly ways. And his love bites were working magic on me. “What did you have in mind?” I found myself asking, then quickly added, “Not that I’m saying okay or anything like that. I just wondered what you had inmind.”
His teeth grazed my neck, then soft lips pressed the spot just behind my ear. My thighs shuddered as heat swept through me. “That dress will make things pretty easy to get to and pretty easy to hide stuff we might or might not be doing.” He turned me around, facing away from him, and spread my dress out where I felt my panty-covered ass sitting on his bulging male member. “See what Imean?”
“I do, but I don’t …” The touch of his mouth on my neck as he reached around, cupping my boobs, had me goingsilent.
I went so wet, it was insane. “Gannon, no,” the words were said, but there was absolutely no conviction in them. “Wecan’t.”
“I need you, honey. Please.” He could’ve been manipulating me to get his way, but the fact was, I wanted it to. And I could see in his eyes that after everything we’d been through, this was a reassurance he badly needed to know I was still whole and safe. And I needed to know the same abouthim.
His hands moved down, and I felt him doing something underneath my ass. Then I felt the warmth of his bare flesh against my cheeks as he pushed my panties to one side. “Sure we can, baby.” He moved his erect cock around my ass, and I moaned softly. “Now, I want you to move up a bit and come down slowly on what I have for you.” He pulled my hair to lie over the other side and kissed the spot where my neck and shoulder met. “If he starts to stir, you’ll see him, and we canstop.”
So, with my eyes glued to the sleeping child across the room, I did as he said to and had to hold in the moan that wanted to come out as I slid myself over his cock. We both went silent as he moved me, holding me by the waist as he kissed myneck.
What I felt was crazy. Sort of reckless and very, very bad. I could see what girls saw in bad boys then. They were hot ashell!
I was on the verge of an orgasm from the get-go. With the threat of Braiden waking up and ending it all, I was ready to explode if he made the slightestmovement.
Gannon’s mouth was working wonders on me as he went from scraping his teeth over my skin to sucking it in places that had my toes curling inside myshoes.
