CURRENT DAY
GHOST
After staring at the screens in my office for the last five days straight, my eyes are as dry as the desert. I feel like I haven't slept in days, but I’ve had no choice. There was no way I was leaving Bull and his girl without making sure they were safe. He’s my best friend, and being on the run with his girlfriend Asha, the stress levels were high. It was my job to help keep them alive and get them through the danger, until it's over and we can all breathe easy again. I needed to know every move being made by all the players, good or bad, before it even happened in this shitshow.
It’s not very often I get caught off guard in this job, which is something I take great pride in. I could never live with myself if anything went wrong. Of all the jobs I’ve controlled in my life, this has been one of the most important.
It ranks second to only one other job.
That job has become my life!
What started out as a job of inconvenience turned into the fight that I’ll never give up on. Not until the day I can finally say it’s over, and the reality is, that day may never come. That's something I accepted a long time ago, with no regrets.
Even before the security system alerts me to movement outside the door, I know. No matter where I am, I can always sense her and how near she is. When you have been so close to someone for seven years and their safety is more important to you than your own life, you’re in tune with them to the point that it’s second nature.
The door slides open quietly as Cassie softly steps in, checking if I'm on a call, not wanting to disturb me if I’m in the middle of any major operation. Even though I messaged her earlier to let her know Bull and his girlfriend were safe and it was all over, she knows sometimes things change at the drop of a hat and I’m on to the next case.
As she gets closer, I pull off my headset and flick the override switch to send all communications through my phone for the rest of the night.
My computer system is technical enough that it’s almost like a person. It has the power to think on its own, monitoring all the targets and locations I have programmed in at any current time. It knows if someone sneezes or goes to the toilet and determines if I need to know that piece of data or to log it in the database. It took me years to get to this point with my operations, but when a sense of fear for your family drives you, it’s worth it. The lengths you will go to keep them safe is above and beyond.
“Hey there, handsome, I think you need a break. And more importantly, some sleep.” She slides her hands from my shoulders down around onto my chest, her sweet lips kissing the top of my head and then continuing down to my cheek.
Her scent wafting around me has my heart slowing down. She is my calm when the world seems crazy. And the last few days have certainly been that.
But the last words she whispers in my ear have me finally understanding what she is saying.
“The kids are in bed asleep, and I miss my husband. Care to join me for a shower before bed?” The softness of her voice is no indication of what she is really like under that sweet exterior.
Even if I was struggling to keep my eyes open from exhaustion, there is no way I’m passing up that offer.
My cock is already stiffening at the chance to finally get reacquainted after a few days of being apart.
“You know I can’t say no to you, nor do I want to.” I raise my hands and clasp them around her arms that are still lying on my chest, lifting them and using them to pull her body around in front of me. The glint in her eye tells me she knows exactly where I want her. Reaching around her back, I pull her sideways onto my lap, a place she fits like she was made for me and only me.
“Hmmm, what have we here.” I run my hand up the inside of her exposed leg. “Did you think I’d need some tempting?” My eyes rove over her body and the blue button-up shirt of mine she has on, that has parted slightly as she sat in my lap. Only a few buttons in the middle hold it closed, barely covering much of her.
“Possibly.” I lean forward and kiss slowly up her neck as she tilts her head to the side, her beautiful soft brown hair falling to give me plenty of skin to devour. “Not that I think I needed it.” The words coming out are more of a moan than before.
“Not at all, but I must say it’s a nice surprise.” Trailing down her neck with my tongue, I continue down her chest to where her cleavage of beautiful soft olive skin is hiding, just under the first button of the shirt. A button won’t stop me, though.
“Fuck, I’ve missed you!” I can hear my own voice getting deeper in tone and with that edge it gets whenever I’m starting to lose my control around my wife. From the day I met her, she has had this effect on me.
Using my teeth, I pull the shirt hard enough that the button slips out and the shirt falls to the side, letting her dark pebbled nipple appear, all ready for me. Taking her into my mouth and letting my hand wander up the smooth inside of her leg, I can feel Cassie giving over her body to me.
She knows exactly what I need.
I need her.
“Noah.” My name slips from her mouth. It’s the only time she uses my given name, and it’s like she treasures this connection on a level no one else will ever get to feel. My whole body shudders at the word, and I know we need to move. As much as I want to lay her out on my desk, this is not the place where I need a constant reminder of my wife, naked and screaming my name as I ravish her. This room is where I need to be able to zone out the world, which at times means even zoning out Cassie too.
My mouth makes a popping sound as I release her nipple, and I pull back and see her already slipping into her happy place.
“Shower, now. Get the soap ready so I can clean you after I make you filthy dirty for the first time tonight, but rest assured, it won’t be the last time.” Helping her to her feet, she smiles with a twinkle in her eyes.
Walking toward the door, the back of the shirt just covers her ass cheeks as she turns, looking at me over her shoulder. “Promises, promises.” She then slips the shirt off her shoulders and slides it down her body, leaving it in a pool on the floor as she sways her sensual naked ass and disappears out of my control room.
