Page 88 of Jameson’s Salvation

“But once it’s on the internet it’s there forever.”

“No, it’s not. McKenna can delete everything.”

Chasin looked to the doorway and took a step back before he nodded to Jameson and the men switched places.

Jameson’s hand went to my face and he wiped the tears off my cheek.

“Kennedy, look at me.” I lifted my eyes to meet his and I flinched at the anger I saw. “I’m going to fix this.”

I nodded because I believed he would, even if I couldn’t see how.

“I’m sorry,” I sobbed.

“You have nothing to be sorry about.”

“He has pictures of you and it’s my fault. If…if…you weren’t with me, he’d never—”

“I don’t give the first fuck he has nude photos of me. I care he has them of you,” he growled. “Don’t bother me one goddamn bit he wants to look at my dick swinging in the wind, but knowing he’s seen you and how he violated your privacy makes me want to rip his fucking head off. And, babe, that option is still on the table.”

That I didn’t believe—he did care, anyone would care that someone had pictures of them naked. Images of last night flashed in my mind.

“Don’t go there, Kennedy. Don’t think about it. We have a plan, and it needs to happen now so McKenna can get to work. We can’t delete those pictures until Reggie is arrested. And unfortunately, how we saw them is illegal. So we need to set Reggie up. That way Jonny can get a search warrant, and McKenna can just happen to find his cloud server.”

“The police have to see those?” I asked in horror.

“Yes. I want his ass nailed on every charge we can get.”

“Ohmygod, I know Jonny and most of the deputies. How will I ever look at them again knowing they saw those pictures?”

I wanted McKenna to delete them now. I didn’t want to press charges.

“You’ll look at them knowing you did not one thing wrong. That fucking pig Reggie infringed on your privacy and invaded our private time. We’re gonna nail his balls to the wall.”

“Get in here!” Nixon yelled from down the hall.

“You ready to go back in?”

“Did they see?”

“I’m not gonna lie to you. Chasin and Nix both caught a glance but McKenna had to watch what he was doing on the screen. I think she’s more disturbed that she had to see me but she was more focused on the URL paths than the pictures.” Jameson’s lips formed two flat lines and his face was set in stone.

Maybe Jameson didn’t care that Reggie saw him naked, but he did care that his friend’s woman had. He cared that McKenna was forced to advert her eyes the best she could but still watch what Reggie was doing. And Jameson allowed it, because the alternative was one of the guys would’ve had to and that meant they’d see me.

Fucking Reggie! Stupid dick. He’d gone from hurting me to mentally scarring my friends. I was done. I was beyond the shock that he had pictures of me and I’d firmly slipped into thermonuclear and would do anything I had to do to take Reggie down.

I’d simply wanted dirt on Reggie to make him stop bothering me, now I wanted to take him down—permanently. I wanted his ass rotting right next to his bastard son who’d planted cameras in my house.

“I’m ready,” I told Jameson. “So ready.”

Jameson dipped his chin before he helped me down.

When we went back into the conference room, Nix and Chasin were pacing back and forth. Weston had arrived at some point and was scanning documents spread over the table.

No one said anything to me about the pictures, which I appreciated. They knew I knew they’d seen them, I didn’t need to be reminded.

“So this is how this is going to go down,” Nix started. “You’re gonna call Reggie, tell him you’re ready to talk to him about the terms of the sale. I don’t know how much he’ll say over the phone—if we’re lucky, he’ll talk. If not, you’re gonna have to meet him in person. You’ll be wired so we’ll hear the conversation.”

“Okay. What am I trying to get him to say?” I asked.
