Exposed: Book 2 MAC Security Series (17 page)

I missed the way he always had one hand on me at all times, no matter where it was. How he always liked to touch my bare skin, whether that be my stomach, my leg or my face.

I wouldn’t spend another night away from him, not only because he kept the nightmares at bay, but because I genuinely missed having his warmth beside me.

“Have I got to watch you and your bit on the side all day?” Serena sneered.

Wincing, I turned on Ty’s lap to face her. “Hi, Serena.” I smiled, one of those sickly sweet, girl next door smiles.

Rolling her eyes, she looked back to Ty and said, “Isn’t it time for the little girl to go now? We have adult things to discuss.”

“Watch your mouth, Serena,” Ty warned, wrapping his arm around my waist and resting his chin on my shoulder. “Kay is an important part of this team.”

“She works for you?” she said, in that screechy voice again. Turning my eyes to Luke, I grimaced at the sounds that she made. He smirked and hid his chuckle behind a cough, making my own smile spread.

“Yes, she works for me, not that it’s any of your business.”

“I’m still your wife Ty.” I turned to face her, catching the tail end of her smirk.

Ty tensed underneath me and let go of my waist, I could feel him try to lift up so I turned to him and whispered in his ear, “She’s just trying to get a reaction.”

“I’m not gonna have her do this, Kay, not in front of you,” he growled into my ear, I shivered from his breath and the soft touch of his lips as they moved against my skin.

“Don’t give her what she wants.” I warned, pulling back and looking him square in the eyes. If he was afraid of upsetting me, then that was the furthest thing from my mind.

I knew that this day would come sooner or later, I could see that she wanted Ty back but I was confident that he didn’t want her.

“Time to go Serena,” Ty said, not moving his eyes from mine.

“But…But I haven’t-”

“I don’t give a shit; you haven’t told us anything that we didn’t already know.” Smiling softly at him, I placed my hand on the side of his face and relished in the scratchy feel of his scruff. “Luke, see that she makes it off my property.

“You got it, boss,” he said brightly.

I didn’t move my eyes from Ty; not when she huffed and scraped the chair back, not when she shouted at Luke to not touch her and not when I heard all the other chairs scrape against the floor and the warehouse emptying.

I kept my eyes firmly to his.

“Think it’s about time we talked,” he said, his eyes filling with a mixture of anger and sadness.

“Yeah,” I huffed. “Let’s start with why she was here in the first place?”

“Or we could start with why you barricaded yourself in your room?”

I raised my brows at him and shuffled on his lap, his erection still poking me in the hip.

“Fine.” He chuckled. “She said that she had information on Daley that we’d want to know.”

I squinted my eyes at him. “And how would she know that we’d want to know?”

Shrugging, he said, “She knows what I do, which means she knows that I was at the charity function for work. She’s probably put two and two together.”

Opening my mouth, I was ready to tell him that there must be more to it but then I remembered my plan; there was no point in saying anything, it’d fall on deaf ears anyway. So I closed my mouth and smiled instead. I’d get to the bottom of this. One way or another, I’d make sure that I found out what she was up to.

I never expected Kay to come into the warehouse like that, especially after last night. When she walked through the door I had no idea what to expect but it certainly wasn’t what had happened.

Even though I knew what she was trying to do, I still got caught up in her lips. I always did. The way her ass rubbed against me, giving just the right amount of friction. Damn.

I’d expected her to go on about Serena when she left, she’d done that a lot lately. Saying that she didn’t trust her, but then again, neither did I. Though Kay had nothing to back it up with, she said she could see it in her eyes that night. I didn’t know what to believe so I stuck with the facts.

We hadn’t found a thing on Serena but we had found plenty on Daley, we even had a possible location that we were gonna check out.

Tapping her ass twice, telling her to get up, I said, “Let’s go home and talk.”

“Do we have to?” Kay murmured as she lifted up.

She knew what I wanted to talk about and there was no getting around it, I didn’t expect her to tell me everything but I wanted to know what had gone on last night; why she locked herself in her room.

“We can do it right here, sweetheart.” I shrugged, standing up and continued, “Why did you lock yourself in your room?”

“I just needed a break,” she whispered and perched on the edge of the table.

“From what? Me?”

“I…I don’t know.” She twisted her hands in her lap, something she only did when she was nervous or on edge.

“Kay.” I took hold of her hands and stepped forward. “If it’s too much, we can cool it off.”

“I... Is that what you want?” she asked, looking up at me with sad eyes.

“Hell no.”

She searched my eyes and blew out a big breath. “I don’t want that either.”

“Good,” I said, letting go of her hands and cupping her face.

“Good,” she mimicked.

“Now, what do you say we finish off what you just started?”

“Ty…”

“Kay…” I tilted my head at her, daring her.

“I need to get Eli in a while, I didn’t take him this morning and-”

“It’s all arranged,” I interrupted. I’d talked to Eli this morning about it, ma said that there was this fair that was on the big field that backed on to the edge of her property. She’d asked to take him but I’d said that I’d talk to Kay about it first.

I may have let it slip to Eli this morning and, once I said it, I couldn’t take it back.

“What’s arranged?” she asked, pulling away slightly.

“Look.” I held my hands up in the air, not knowing if this would go over well or not. “Ma asked to take Eli to the fair-”

“The one that’s behind her house?”

“Yeah…”

“Okay, continue.” She waved her hand in the air.

“Well, I may have let it slip to Eli this morning and he wants to go. Ma said that if Luke picks him up from preschool and takes Eli to hers, she’ll bring him back by bedtime.”

“Okay,” she said, and jumped down.

“Okay?” I furrowed my brow, confused. I was sure that she would have been mad that I’d done that without asking her first.

“Here’s the thing, Ty,” she said, backing away from me slowly. “Your ma called me already and asked. She said that she realized she should have asked me in the first place.”

“She called you?”

“Yep,” she said pulling the door open. “I like your ma.” She smiled and walked backwards out of the door. I followed her out and let the door close behind me.

“You do?” I said, mesmerized by the sway of her hips.

“Yeah.” She stretched her arms above her head, a slither of creamy skin exposing between her jeans and where her top had risen up. “Now the question is…” She smirked, still backing away from me towards the house. “Do you want to finish what I started?”

Licking my lips, I took in the length of her; those jeans were like a second skin and showed every curve she had. There was something to be said for a woman wearing jeans and combat boots with weapons on a belt.

“Damn straight I am.” I picked up the pace. When I was a few footsteps away from her, she squealed and spun around, running as fast as she could.

She’d got faster since she’d started to run, but that didn’t mean she could out run me. Catching up to her at the bottom of the steps, I picked her up and threw her over my shoulder and tapping her ass as I went up the steps.

“Ty!” She laughed, her whole body shaking with the force. “Put me down!”

“Nah,” I said, opening the door and tapping her ass once more. “I like the view from here.”

Kicking the door shut, I carried on up the stairs with her still over my shoulder. I gripped her ass once more, my fingers sliding across her pussy.

“Ty…” she breathed out. Smirking, I did it again then yelped when she slapped my ass.

“What the hell?” I gasped.

“It’s only fair,” she cooed. “I think I like the view from here too.”

Chuckling, I pushed through my bedroom door and threw her on the bed. She bounced up a couple of times, her chest going in the opposite direction.

“Now, what was it you were sayin’?” I pulled my t-shirt off and threw my beanie across the room with it. “Let’s finish what you started.”

Her eyes were hooded and her tongue came out to wet her lips as they followed the path of my chest and arms. I knew she loved my tats, and it was something I was willing to use to get what I wanted.

Undoing the top button on my jeans, she tracked my movements.

“Yeah,” she breathed out heavily. “Let’s finish what I started.”

Pulling up into the parking lot at the vets, I took a deep breath and tried to mentally prepare myself for being alone with Ty’s mother. Sure, we had spoken over the phone but that was different than being in the same room as her; without Ty.

Jumping out of the truck, I walked through the entrance, the door making a dinging noise as I opened it.
