“Yes, Miss Black. Do you fancy a bit of al fresco, baby?” he smirked.
“Hell yes!” I laughed as we disappeared into the woods and out of sight.
Chapter Fifty Nine
We travelled back on Monday morning after enjoying an extra day with my parents.
The next day Ross texted me that my weapon was ready. I quickly made my way to the station.
He beckoned me into his untidy office.
“Any news on the evidence I collected? It must be through by now, Sir.”
“There was a problem. They seem to have misplaced it. As soon as they locate it, they will get back in touch with me. Heads will roll if they can’t find it,” he muttered.
“Bloody hell, Sir. I hope they find it!” I grumbled.
After signing reams of paperwork for my weapon, I returned to the house to concoct my plan to pay David Simms a visit.
When I got back to the house, I found Zack hastily packing some clothes and shoving them into an overnight case.
“Where are you off to?” I asked him, puzzled.
“Oh, I have a really early meeting in London to tie up a few loose ends and it’s easier if I stay overnight. You don’t mind, do you?” he replied, looking flustered.
“No, it’s fine. I will enjoy spending time with Scarlett and Jasper. Hurry back though, gorgeous,” I told him, kissing him.
“Please could you drop me at the station?”
“Yes, no problem.”
I loved the way that he travelled on public transport even though with his vast wealth he had no need to. From what I could gather, his parents had put their children through college and university by working every hour but still amassed huge debts.
Zack came from humble but happy beginnings in New Orleans that he didn’t want to forget.
“Let’s go, JB.”
My plan to confront David would have to keep.
Well, he wasn’t going anywhere that I knew of.
We jumped into the Audi and I took off at speed. I suddenly realised that I had never driven him anywhere. Zack looked pale as I navigated the narrow country lanes.
“Where did you learn to drive? Formula One?”
He grimaced as he clung on for dear life.
“Ha! Very funny I have done my advanced driving course and I have been rally driving several times!” I laughed, going even faster.
“I was going to let you take the DB9 for a spin but I have changed my mind!”
“That’s not fair. I will do lots of rude things to you if you let me, Mr Cole,” I told him licking my lips.
I ran my left hand slowly up his leg.
“Don’t do that!” he laughed, grabbing his crotch.
“Tomorrow then, Zachary. I will just have to use Vinnie the vibrator tonight, but I do find him a bit lacking in the size department. You do have the most beautiful Johnson in the world,” I told him, arching an eyebrow.
“Thank you, I will make it worth the wait. I promise you that, Jennifer,” he told me.
A hot flush swept through me as I glanced over at him. His scorching gaze burned into me.
“Well, you do always make good on your promises and you have never ever let me down!” I whispered huskily.
“I wouldn’t dream of it. I take everything I do in life very seriously,” he told me with a wicked glint in his eyes.
“You said the same thing to me once before!”
“I know I did, baby!” he told me as he gently caressed the back of my hand.
“Well, here’s your stop, gorgeous.”
“Thank fuck we made it!” Zack muttered as we pulled up to the station.
He grabbed his case out of the boot and I walked up to the platform with him. We only had a few minutes to spare.
Zack pulled me into his warm embrace and kissed me softly. His hands weaved into my hair. I wrapped mine around his neck. I would miss him even though it was only for a night. I thought back to when we were apart after I kissed John.
It had almost finished me off.
“Bye, baby. See you tomorrow. I love you,” he said as he got onto the train.
“Bye, Zack. I love you too.”
He took his seat and gave me a quick wave before he put his sexy glasses on and opened his briefcase.
I had the strangest feeling that something bad was going to happen. Trying to shrug it off, I left the train station.
I headed back to the house and found Scarlett studying in her room. Jasper was nowhere to be seen.
“Have you seen Jasper?”
“I think he went for a walk in the woods with Amy,” she replied, not looking up from her book.
I was guessing that this roughly translated to he was off misbehaving!
“Okay, shall we have a Chinese or Indian takeaway tonight? Whatever you fancy, Scarlett.”
“Ooh, Chinese, please. I will be down soon.”
Scarlett came into the kitchen and we chose a meal for four as Jasper would eat anything we couldn’t manage.
