Authors: Jade Allen
Dylan pulled her close, reaching down and tugging the covers over them. “Sure would be fun to try, don’t you think?”
Rachel shook her head, laughing in spite of herself. “Isn’t there something in your code of conduct about not sleeping with clients? I thought I remembered that about mercenaries.”
“First, I’m not a mercenary--I’m on retainer. Second, you’re not my client. I can sleep with you as much as you’d like,” Dylan brought her face up to his, kissing her hungrily. Rachel felt his cock beginning to harden, pressed against her hip. “I don’t think either of us is going to be sleeping much in the near future, do you?”
Rachel giggled. Considering that she’d lost everything in the span of less than a week, she felt oddly optimistic. “Five minutes.
Then
you can try and make me scream again,” she told Dylan. “We can plan out the rest of my life tomorrow.”
Epilogue
Rachel glanced around nervously as she and Dylan strode through the international terminal of the airport, headed towards gate 43. She would have never imagined that anyone could realistically make travel plans in the span of just a few hours; apparently, she thought wryly, when one was wealthy enough to afford a private jet, nothing was unrealistic.
As they made their way to the gate, she couldn’t help but feel a mixture of apprehension and excitement. Based on the events of the last few days, she was more secure in Dylan’s ability to protect her, but she couldn’t ignore the fact that she’d been completely invisible to the world just a week ago; now, she seemed to be walking around with a target on her back at all times. She could only hope that they would be safer in another country.
Within minutes of getting settled into her seat, Rachel, completely spent, tumbled into a deep slumber. Soon, her head began to jerk frantically from side to side as the feeling of being chased by a mob of shadowy figures wielding guns played across her mind’s eye in a stubborn loop. Just as she thought she heard the sharp crack of a gunshot, she was ripped out of her nightmare by the sound of Dylan’s blaring phone. Barely awake, she listened to the quiet murmur of his slightly lilting voice as he confirmed details with whomever he was speaking to.
“Where are we going?” she asked, listlessly.
“You’ll find out soon enough, love,” he said, looking around to see if anyone was listening. He began to shove a few things into his carry-on bag and then paused, turning his head to meet her glance, placing a hand tenderly on her thigh. “Cheer up, Rachel—the world is your oyster now. Things are about to get a hell of a lot more fun.” He smiled with a wink. “For the two of us.”
