Shattered Pieces (Undercover Elite Book 1)(44)

“What do you mean?” she asks him, looking at him like she’s a little confused.

“We do jobs like what we did when we rescued you and Talia. Your sister has already been on a job with us in Guatemala, helping us break up a black market baby ring.”

“You’re such a badass, Johnnie,” Rhonda says, looking at me as if she envies that part of my personality and those traits she doesn’t possess.

“Ass is a bad word, mommy.”

“You’re right. It is and I’m sorry. You’re such a tomboy is what mommy should have said.”

Hunter chuckles, “She is a tomboy.”

“Yeah, around here she’s just one of the guys,” Cash laughs as he speaks. He leans in and whispers in my ear, “Except with me. With me, she’s all girl.”

I’ve missed that husky lust in his voice the last couple of days. We haven’t had any time to ourselves due to all the drama rescuing my sister. He’s been so patient, putting my need to see my small family brought back together safely first and foremost, and never thinking of his own needs.

I don’t just feel like I owe Cash. Normally, if someone had done all he has done for me, I would have to fight the urge to feel indebted, which I absolutely hate. It is the reason I have fought for independence all my life. I don’t feel that way with Cash. Instead, I feel like we are partners working for the same things and towards the same common goals. We are equal.

I know this team doesn’t let just anyone into their fold. The work they do is dangerous and they can’t afford loose lips. If I feel that I owe these guys anything, it’s my allegiance. Cash brought me into this team, he believed in me, and the rest of the guys trusted his judgment. After all the team has done for me, I am going to make sure that I talk to Rhonda and let her know that I am trusting her not to contact anyone she was involved with while she was married to Steven. That son of a bitch did enough damage while he was alive and I’m not going to let him cause the team any problems from the grave.

“Guys, please let us talk for just a minute.”

We watch as the boys leave the room and take Talia to the kitchen to get a snack. I look at Rhonda intently as I speak.

“I love these guys. They’ve been good to me. It’s extremely important that you don’t repeat anything you hear about them to anyone.” I am shocked by her answer.

“These guys saved me and my daughter and when they did that, they gained my loyalty indefinitely. I had no way out of the hell I was in until they came along and, for that, I’ll do anything I can to help the team.”

I am relieved to hear her state her allegiance to the men who risked their lives to save her and her daughter. I can see her fitting in with the team and, perhaps, working especially close with Hunter. He can continue doing what he does and she will be perfect for keeping up with office details. Rhonda isn’t the tomboy I am and she doesn’t have my temperament for wanting to be in the thick of things. She will, however, work out great for behind the scenes help.





Cash and I make our way back to our bedroom after the meeting and he wastes no time pinning me to the wall.

“Thank you,” I whisper. His only answer is to place his forefinger over my lips.

“My cock is so fucking hungry for you. I ache for you, girl. I don’t care what it takes to keep you here, to make you need me, and to keep you working for this team, I’ll do it. You’re in my system and whether you like it or not, I’m in yours, girl.”

I can feel my breathing changing already. The lust in his eyes and the need in his voice pull me into his web. His eyes never leave mine as he pulls my t-shirt over my head. His teeth purposely graze over my nipple as his lips pull my breast into his mouth.

His hands work with an urgency that flatters me. I can’t ever remember a time that any man was so hungry for me. His tongue lightly flicks at my nipple and then makes its way up my breast and towards my neck so I can hear his raspy growl. I realize I missed hearing his threats and the dirty way he talks to me when he takes my body and uses it for his pleasure.

“I’m taking you over to that bed, baby, and turning you around so I can watch that greedy, little pussy of yours sheath my thick cock. Oh, I have missed you, girl.”

His hands smack at mine, forbidding me from pulling down the shorts I’m wearing and I know if they are going to be pulled down, it’ll be him doing it.

Just as I knew he would, his hands unbutton and unzip my shorts. He pulls them down, along with my panties, in one swift move. He locks his hands around my hips and picks me up to toss me onto the bed. “Doggy style. Now!”
