Chapter 11
Duggy walked into Denis’s room and his brother wasn’t there. But all the plans for the condominium fire were. His brother was getting closer to finalizing them. If all went well, they could pull off the job in a couple of weeks and then hightail it outta here.
As he looked at the desk where Denis worked, he saw a bunch of different papers scattered around, including newspaper clippings.
Lifting up one of the articles, he saw one about a couple burned in a fire. As he read further he noticed that the journalist mentioned that the couple had survived a fire months ago out in North Carolina. His gut clenched.
He didn’t have to read further to know the connection, but he did anyway. As he slammed the newspaper clipping down onto the desk, Denis’s laptop screen brightened. There was a picture of a gorgeous, young brunette. Her eyes were bold and green, and she was absolutely stunning. The picture looked to have been taken near a park or in a city-like setting, because there were taller buildings in the back.
He clicked on the screen and of course it was password protected.
“What are you doing?”
Duggy turned around to find Denis entering the room and appearing upset.
“Who is she?” Duggy asked.
His brother grabbed onto the computer and stared at her picture and then back at Denis.
“She’s mine. You can’t have her.”
“I want to know who she is. Why do you have a picture of her?”
Denis traced the picture with his finger. “She’s special. She’s mine, and soon we’re going to be together.”
“What are you talking about? When did you meet her? I’m not gone that long for you to have met someone in between. What’s going on?”
“I don’t need to tell you. I’ll do the condominium job. That’s all you need to worry about.”
Denis knew that something was wrong with this, but he just wasn’t certain. His brother definitely had a few loose screws in his head, but lately he had become more violent, distant, and irritable. He didn’t need him going out to start a fire for the hell of it and then get caught. It would ruin everything.
“Listen, I don’t know who this woman is or how you know her.”
“No, you don’t. So mind your fucking business.”
“Denis, don’t get angry with me. I just want to know who she is and how she fits in with us, this job, and leaving.”
Denis stared at Duggy and then he pulled another picture of the woman out from under the laptop and stared at it.
“She had nothing to do with this job, but she will be coming with us.”
“What?”
“I’m going to take care of everything. I’m going to get an angel.”
“An angel?”
“Yep. One straight from heaven’s door. One that no one but God himself has ever been so close to.”
“God? What the hell are you talking about God for?”
“The master and I are going to take him down. Him and all the others who stand in the way of our ultimate goal.”
“Ultimate goal? Master? What the fuck are you talking about? Have you lost your mind, Denis?”
Denis stared at him.
“I know you’re scared, Duggy, but just stand beside me, help me secure the angel of God, and the master will grant you eternal freedom.”
“Is she for real or did you make her up?” Duggy was losing his patience.
Denis slammed his fist down on the table. He stared at Duggy with rage and disgust in his eyes.
“She is real. She is a survivor and has the power the master needs to achieve his goal. I want her, the angel of fire, the burning one. She’s special, Duggy, and I won’t leave here without her. I won’t.”
Duggy wasn’t sure what to do or how to react, he just needed this job done so they could take the money and head out of Dodge.
“Okay, Denis. Whatever you say. She is quite beautiful. I can see why you think she’s special.”
Denis hit some keys on the computer and brought up another article, this one with names and things highlighted. Duggy knew that the article was about the fire in North Carolina, and the further he read he saw what Denis was trying to tell him.
“The names of these people are people who escaped the fire?” Denis nodded his head.
“She escaped the fire, too?”
As he said the words, the panicked feeling nearly overwhelmed him.
“This is the woman who was burned and lived? You can’t go after her, or make her yours. Just forget about that fire, those people, and move on.”
“No! She is the master’s and mine. She is special, Duggy. She looked fire in the eyes, she watched others burn and die, and she lived, despite the master’s efforts and mine. She’s the angel of God and she will come with me when we leave this place forever.”
Duggy ran his fingers through his hair. His brother went from arsonist to stalker. What the fuck?
“Do you even know where she lives or how to find her?”
Denis smiled. “She lives around here. I know exactly how to find her.”
“What if she says no?”
“She doesn’t have a choice. She either comes with us, or she dies in the fire as a gift to my master.”

Serefina blinked her eyes opened as she felt the fingers gently caressing her neck. She had fallen asleep on the bed next to Ace, Bull, and Ice after they made love a third time. She was so tired and achy, and a glance toward the windows told her it was late, or perhaps early morning before sunrise.
She was glad that she had enough whereabouts to text her mom and tell her where she was and to not worry. But as someone continued to stroke her skin, coming closer and closer to the scarring from the fire, she began to awaken more fully.
Tossing her hair back over their hand in an attempt to cover what they most likely already had seen, she turned and looked at Ace.
In such a short period of time she learned that he was the more serious of the three brothers, and even Marco, as they’d told her all about him as well.
Ace took great pride in being a Marine, a firefighter, and most importantly a big brother to Ice and Bull. Which was kind of funny considering that they were just as big of men as him and they shared the same professions in life.
“What time is it?” she whispered and then looked around for a clock.
Ace pressed gently on her back indicating for her to go back to resting.
“Relax, it’s only about four o’clock.”
“Then what are you doing up?” she asked, lying back down and placing her forearms underneath her chin.
“I’m looking at you, wondering how we got so lucky to find you.”
She looked up toward him and smiled. “I kind of think that I’m the lucky one,” she replied, looking over his naked body, feeling aroused again and in need of him, Bull, or Ice inside of her. It was amazing how when she thought of one, she thought of three.
He trailed a finger down her spine, sending goose bumps over her flesh as the blanket parted from her skin.
His thick, hard digit caressed over her ass cheek, down her thigh, and between her legs. She moaned softly, closing her eyes as he continued to torment her.
He straddled her legs from behind and then leaned down to kiss her shoulder, pushing her hair to one side. When his tongue licked across the raised skin from her scar, she tried pressing up. Ace wouldn’t allow it.
“Don’t be afraid. I want to see it. It’s part of who you are, and now that you’re a part of me, I want to know everything about you.” He traced a finger over the scarring and then to her neck. His lips were warm against her skin and as he eased his hand down under her belly and to her mound, she lifted her pelvis, allowing him entry to her pussy.
She didn’t know what to focus on more. The feel of his fingers pressing against her wet pussy or the sensation of his teeth gliding along her skin by her neck. Perhaps the feel of his thick, hard cock pushing between her ass cheeks should take her full attention. She wasn’t sure, but she knew she liked how it felt. How his large hands, talented fingers, and sensational mouth maneuvered around her body touching, stimulating in all the right places. He stroked a finger deeper into her cunt and she lifted her hips, widening her thighs slightly to give him full access to her cunt.
In and out he slowly thrust his fingers as he whispered into her ear.
“You feel awfully wet, Serefina. Is there something you need?” he asked her while thrusting his fingers into her cunt, and pressing his cock between her ass cheeks and pussy from behind.
“You.” She rose up, pushing onto her forearms.
Ace got the message, tightening his hold around her waist under her breasts as he pulled fingers from her cunt.
He spread her thighs wider and licked down her spine before he tapped his cock to her entrance from behind.
Serefina pressed back, but Ace decided to drive her even wilder. He stroked her cunt, gathering juices from there, and pressed the wet finger over her wet anus. Slowly, gently he pushed through the tight rings.
“Oh,” she moaned and he took that moment to thrust his cock into her pussy from behind.
Serefina nearly collapsed to the bed.
She gripped the comforter and closed her eyes as Ace fingered her ass while he pumped his cock into her pussy. Over and over again he continued to alternate pussy and anus, finger and cock until his brothers arose and joined in the fun.
“How does that feel, Serefina?” Ice asked her as he tilted her chin up toward him.
