He moved to the side, lifting both of them to lie against the pillows at the head of the bed.
“I need to go find Crazy Bitch. She’s probably wondering where I am,” Jane said, snuggling against his side.
“She saw me bring you back here.”
“She did?”
Cade nodded his head. “I’ll take you home in the morning.”
“You want me to stay?”
“I’m not done with you tonight.” Cade smiled down at her as he reached out to play with one of her nipples.
“Are you sure?” Jane asked.
“I’m sure. I have several positions I want to initiate you into, and then I’m going to show you how to give me a blowjob.”
“I’m a fast learner,” Jane quipped, thankful he wasn’t making a big deal about taking her virginity.
“Darlin’, there’s not going to be anything fast about what we’re going to be doing.”
Chapter 19
Jane had Crazy Bitch call Killyama to drop her off at her father’s house after Cade had taken her home that morning. She let herself into her father’s house. She had called him last night to tell him she would come by this morning, but he hadn’t answered his phone. She had checked her phone this morning for any messages from him, yet he hadn’t replied. Worried, she had stupidly forgotten her phone in Cade’s bedroom. Now he had no way to reach her.
Her good mood disappeared when she walked inside her father’s house and saw him sitting white-faced on a chair in his living room while Bailey sat on the couch crying.
“What’s wrong? Did something happen?” Concerned, she stared back and forth between her father and sister.
“We’re broke!” Bailey wailed.
Jane took a seat on the couch, although she didn’t try to comfort her sister.
“What happened?” Jane asked, startled by the change in her father’s finances.
“Bailey didn’t take Raul’s name off her accounts and emails. Raul has managed to steal almost every dime of my money. He gained access through her accounts.”
“Don’t blame me. I forgot. You should have reminded me.” Bailey, as always, deflected the blame to someone else.
“I didn’t realize anything was wrong until I bought our new house and the sale couldn’t go through, because there was a lack of funds,” their father continued, ignoring Bailey.
“I’m sorry.” Jane didn’t know what else to say. “What are you going to do?”
“The banks are trying to find a way to get my money back, but with Raul and the money both in Mexico, it’s going to be impossible. I’ll have to go back to work fulltime, obviously, and Bailey will have to find a job. I won’t be able to give you an allowance any longer, either.”
“That’s all right. I just gave it to Bailey and Mom, anyway. I’ve been supporting myself for years.”
“Why would you give it to Bailey? She had her own allowance, and your mother is more than able to get a job.”
“Bailey always spent her allowance before the middle of the month, and Mom doesn’t want to work. I guess now she’ll have to.” Jane dreaded telling her mother that piece of news.
“I can’t get a job. What would I do?” Bailey looked at her father frantically.
“Yes, you can, and you will. You have no choice; neither do I. I’ll be starting over from scratch, and I’m not young anymore. Thank God this house is paid for, or we would be homeless.”
“You wouldn’t be homeless. You could have stayed with me and Crazy Bitch.”
From his expression, Jane was sure he would rather be homeless.
“I’m not qualified for anything,” Bailey protested.
“Popeye’s is hiring, and they’ll train you,” Jane suggested.
Bailey stared at her angrily. “I wouldn’t work at a fast food restaurant.”
“Good luck finding something in Jamestown, then. It took me over a year to get hired at the hospital.”
“I’ll call some friends of mine. Maybe they’ll have some suggestions.” Bailey flounced out of the room, leaving Jane and her father alone.
“Is there anything I can do?” she offered.
“No, but thanks for offering instead of yelling at me.” Jane could only imagine her sister’s reaction when she had been told. “The only bright spot is that your stepmother’s not going to get the large settlement she thought she was out of our divorce.”
Jane felt bad for her father. Not knowing what else to do, she fixed them both lunch and sat talking with him until he told her he needed to make his own phone calls to work on getting his fulltime job back.
