TEASER #1
When I looked into his eyes; I couldn’t make out their color due to the small amount of light that was in the room, blue or green maybe? Involuntary I let my face shift so that my lips touched the inside of his palm. He froze for a second and then his face moved towards mine and I felt the rope around my hands loosen. All I could think about is how much I wanted this man. Everything about him is so tempting and alluring, it’s driving me crazy. “You are free but if you run I will drag you right back here,” he threatened with his lips inches from mine. A warm shiver ran down my spine and I took in a shaky breath…breathing in his erotic masculine scent was so intoxicating. I couldn’t even keep a steady clear thought around him. “Why are you doing this to me?” I asked. “Because I want you,” he whispered. That was it for me, I didn’t even let him finish as I found myself brushing my lips up against his. He returned the kiss immediately; his lips were hard, passionate and wanting against mine. My breathing changed and came in gasps as he lifted me off the chair. I wrapped my legs around his hips as he started to back me up against the wall pushing his growing erection into me. His lips never left mine as he held my arms up over my head and began trailing kisses and love bites down my neck. My mind couldn’t comprehend what I was doing anymore. I suddenly felt my back against the mattress and I knew there was no turning back from this now, I honestly wanted him in a strange and weird way. I was not sure how long I’ve spent moaning in pleasure from him touching and licking me in places I never thought were possible. He slowly ran his fingers over my slick wet pussy. Then ever so slowly, he stuck one finger into me then two. He then started to kiss me down my neck over my collar bone and in between my breasts. Until he licked straight down over my stomach not before he dipped his tongue into my belly button making me moan even louder. He made his way down even farther till his mouth was on my swollen nub. He licked and teased me till my legs became weak from the pleasure. Did it matter that I didn’t know his name? That he was my kidnapper and possibly even a murderer? That I was naked underneath him in a room that I’ve never seen before in my life? Did it matter that he was about to take me? No, none of those things mattered because there was nothing that I wanted more at this very moment but him. I will deal with whatever consequences I must face tomorrow, if I lived to see a tomorrow that is. But for now I will devour my own personal nightmare and turn it into a pleasurable fantasy. -Right Now, Chapter Three, Angelina's POV

Even after a night of relentless passion with her, the moment I saw her in the shower my desire was reignited again. SHe turned around and I took her mouth, she parted them with a sigh. I thrust my tongue into her mouth, passionately dueling hers. My God, why did she have to taste so good? If she was a drug I would have been in rehab. I tore my lips away from hers as I kissed her neck. My hands moved along the smooth curves of her spine to her perfect hips, lifting her against the wall. She wrapped her legs around my hips as I kissed her again until she gasped for air. My finger slipped into her heated slick holds as she let out a soft moan from the pleasure. I slipped another into her, taking her mouth again. I felt her body tense with anticipated pleasure, then release. She pulled her lips away, crying out her orgasm.
"Angelina," I groaned against her shoulder, but her response to me was heaven sent. I wanted to take my time with her like I did last night but the soft moan that escaped past her lips made it impossible. I was crazed with the need for her and I've barely even touched her.
"I need you," she breathed, shattering whatever self control I had left.
She threw her head back, biting down on her lower lip when I entered her. I groaned as I felt her pussy stretch, welcoming me in. She then rested her head against my shoulder, panting and moaning as I moved, pushing her into the shower wall. With every deep thrust she would whisper my name, just like last night. Those sexy little noises drove me crazy. She tightened around me and I knew she was near as I drove harder and faster and deeper, and she gasped.

TEASER #3
I looked up and into his eyes and he was already making love to me with his eyes, normally when he gave me that look and I would drop my gaze and blush. But this time I couldn’t, he had me in a trance. I couldn’t look away. We entered the estate and I walked straight up the stairs and into my room. I didn’t even realize he was right behind me, I was trying to give us some space but the second he was in my room he closed the door and we devoured each other.
He crushed his lips to mine, kissing them with a new bewildering edge of passion and lust. My lips parted with a moan as his tongue sampled a taste of my mouth. I urgently took off his shirt throwing it to the floor as he resumed kissing me, tasting me desire I had for him. His hands grabbed my thighs lifting them up to his hips with ease as I locked my legs around him. He backed me up against the wall, barely letting me breathe. He tore at my tank top and slid it away from me. I didn’t even care that he just destroyed my clothes with his bare hands; my pussy hummed with anticipation. I gasped for air as his lips moved to my neck and shoulder.
“I’m sorry, I’m being less of a gentleman but you’re driving me wild,” he murmured against my neck.
I probably would have let out a giggle and blushed, but how could I when I couldn’t get any air into my lungs. He laid me on the bed quickly removing the rest of my already torn clothes. How can one man’s hands feel so electric against my skin? How can his tongue feel like heaven on my most imitate body parts? Dennis showed me great passion and some tenderness when making love to me but I had the sense that he was always holding back. But not this time around, I loved this new slightly rough and urgent way he loved me and my body. He always made everything about me; for once I wanted him to take as much of me as he wanted and boy did he ever!
He fucked me faster and deeper than ever before, taking my body to a higher limit. He turned me over so that I was on my knees as he took me from behind. I gripped the sheets as he shoved every inch of him into me in one thrust. I felt his balls slap against my ass at the steady pace of his punishing rhythm. I moaned from the feel of him taking me further than ever before. He quickly pulled out of me and slip his cock into my ass, he groaned toward his release as I cried out from mine own.
Dennis had a sexual appetite like no other when aroused. Every time we would catch our breath, he would touch me and immediately it would ignite desire in me as well, making love all over again and again and again. Surprisingly I was able to keep up with him, as I wanted him just as badly as he wanted me. My wanting to love and pleasure him always made me willing and uninhibited.
“Whoa,” I exclaimed trying to catch my breath after the most intensive orgasm that I ever had.
I heard Dennis laugh breathlessly at my remark. I then realized that my whole body was shaking. Ah, another after effect to sleeping with Dennis. Mind spinning, toe curling and now I can check off shaking like a leaf as well, great!
“You’re trembling my love,” Dennis said wrapping the blanket and his arms around me.
“Yeah and whose fault is that?” I muttered and he laughed. “This is embarrassing,” I mumbled and he kissed my shoulder.
“No it’s natural,” he stated and I shook my head.
“This is not natural.”
“You’re right it’s not, sex can’t possibly be that good,” he said and I nodded while yawning. “Sleep my love, before I take you again. I don’t want to tire you out to much.”
“It’s a little too late for that,” I teased.
I closed my eyes and fell fast asleep.
I woke up with Dennis in my bed this morning. I looked at him and seen he was still sleeping so I decided to get up and slip into the shower.
“Where are you going?” He asked. Damn it, I thought he was still asleep.
“I’m going to take a shower,” I said and he frowned.
“Stay.”
“No, you know the rules Dennis.”
“Screw the rules,” he said as he sat up and grabbed my waist pulling me back down onto the bed with him. His arms wrapped around me. “You’re not going anywhere, so stop trying to push me away from you.”
“Damn you and your muscles,” I said as he started to laugh. For that one moment I let myself enjoy being in his arms like this. I wouldn’t mind if we stayed like that forever.

Teaser #1
“Can we stay here forever?” She asked with a sigh.
“Well not forever, but we can stay as long as you want,” I murmured in her ear. She turned around in my arms and stood on her tiptoes to kiss me; I grabbed her waist and kissed her back as I dug my fingers into her soft delectable skin wanting more of her. I moved my lips to her jaw and kissed her till I heard her yawn. “Let’s get you to bed, you’re tired my love,” I said trying to stifle a laugh. She was tired from the crazy day that we experienced last night and from the flight, but stubborn as she is she would never say it.
“No. I want you,” she said grabbing my face as I laughed.
“And you can have me anytime you want. We have a while,” I teased and she frowned.
Seeing that she wouldn’t comply I lifted her in my arms and carried her back into the bedroom. She groaned as I laid her on the bed. She knew that I had no intention of fooling around with her tonight, we both knew she had a rough day and that sleep would be better rather than sex.
“Do you always have to do that?” She muttered with a pouting face.
“Yes,” I said as she glared at me.
“Fine,” she said as she jumped out of bed and stormed towards one of her suitcases then towards the bathroom. I stripped out of my clothes and put on my pajama pants then climbed in bed and under the covers. When she came back out of the bathroom she was wearing a silky midnight blue flyaway babydoll lingerie top with a matching thong. “So?” She said as she leaned against the doorframe seductively. She had a rocking body any man would kill for. My gaze landed on her flat stomach to her voluptuous curves and followed down her thick thighs and down her sexy legs. The only thing missing was those lace top stockings she loved to wear just to drive me crazy. I shook my head and smiled to myself, I knew she was going to torture me for refusing her.
“You play dirty.”
“Only because you’re being unfair,” she said walking towards the bed.
She looked at me expectantly as I just kept staring at her while pretending to be unfazed by how fucking hot she looked, it took everything I had not to rip off what little lingerie she had on. She placed her hands on the edge of the bed and leaned into me. She gave me a nice view of her luscious breasts and right there I couldn’t hold back anymore. I threw my hands up in defeat as she is my only weakness. She crawled up onto the bed and straddled me. Damn it, why does she have to be so seductive? She leaned down and kissed me, as I let her take control of the situation. She was a shy girl in public but when it came down to playing in the bedroom she was my sexy little vixen.

I claimed his mouth kissing him softly while teasing him, promising more to come soon. I kissed him long and deep as he threaded his hands through my hair holding me closer. I heard a low moan come from the back of his throat. I broke off the contact and pushed him back down to the bed.
“Lie down and don’t move,” I purred as he complied.
I got on top of him and began to kiss his lips, chin, and neck dropping lower to his chest. I let my tongue glide over his brawny chest and rock hard abs as he groaned out my name. As I made my way further down to his pajama pants and pull out his hard cock. I grip him firmly as I round my fingers around him. I move up and down as he flexes his hips upward, I reflexively grabbed him tighter. When I gaze up at him he had his eyes closed and his mouth slightly opened as his breathing accelerated. I leaned forward and ran my tongue over the tip of his head. He groaned as I repeated the process.
“Yeah baby, tease me,” he groaned.
Taking him by surprise I take him into my mouth and he flexes his hips shoving himself deeper into my mouth. I suck on his impressive length till I feel his legs tense. I sucked harder while teasing him, flicking the tip of my tongue over his moistened head. He hisses through his teeth as I take him deeper. I love the taste of him, he’s is my very own lollipop. I gazed at him and watched him fall apart underneath me.
“Stop, please. I want to fuck you,” he gasps.
Ha, that’s what you get for telling me I need a bodyguard. Take it Mr. Evers, again I feel him tense and this time he lets go as warm and salty semen ooze down my throat. I swallow and eye him tenderly. He looks at me and assesses me before shaking his head. I couldn’t help myself as a devious smile tugs at my lips.
“You really don’t play fair,” he says in a teasing tone.
“Well neither do you.” He laughs and opens his arms for me.
I go willingly and snuggle up against his chest not before kissing his heart which beats fast and hard. I love this man to pieces, even if he is an overprotecting jerk at times.

Teaser #3
I got home from work earlier than usual. My boss called it a ‘one time deal’ treat for all of us busting our ass’s off over the company merger. I parked my Benz and headed inside and straight upstairs to the bathroom for a quick shower. After dressing in some casual comfortable clothing, I noticed the letter Betty gave me poking out of my purse. When I pulled it out it had my name on the envelope. I don’t know anyone who would use my work address to send me a letter but I didn’t pay any mind to the thought. Walking over to the bed, I sat down on the edge and tore it open. The first thing I noticed was a note folded up. When I pulled the note out a few pictures fell out and onto the floor. I bent down to pick them up; there were five pictures in all. I glanced at one of the pictures and my hand flew to my mouth as I tried to suppress a gasp at what I saw. It was Dennis and Stephanie, and they were kissing. As I flipped through the others, I seen them on the bed together, her on top of him with his shirt off…I couldn’t bare to look at another as I tossed them to the side. I suddenly felt nauseous. I can’t fucking believe this shit! Dennis…my Dennis cheated on me with another woman? With that bitch Stephanie, after ever thing that we’ve been through, after what I told him about Taylor and he does me dirty like this. Even though I seen the evidence for myself I still can’t believe it.
“My luck,” I whispered shakily to myself as the tears streamed down my face.
In the beginning he has hurt me so many times but after all our differences we still fixed what was broken and tried to make things right, but now there was no fixing. My heart is broken to the point where it’s been ripped out of my chest and crushed into a million pieces right in front of my own eyes. He played with my heart as if it was nothing. And now I’m in the same boat I was in when Taylor cheated on me with Ryder, but this time the pain is worse because I have fallen head over heels for this man who said that he would never do that. I opened the note and read it:
A player will tell you anything to be with you, but they won’t do anything to keep you. The game has just started and it’s only the beginning…
Love Stephanie
I tried playing the fierce fiancée with Stephanie but she’d found my weak spot, now the joke is on me, and in the end she got the last laugh. I couldn’t possibly beat her at her own game because I’m not devious and I couldn’t conspire something so evil like she did. It just wasn’t in my nature to be mean; I was too nice and trusting for my own damn good. In the long run I always was the one who ended up with a broken heart. With trembling fingers I reached for my cell that was in my purse and dialed the only person who can comfort me.
“Isabella?” I asked with a shaky voice.
“Ang? What’s wrong? What happened?” She asked in a concerned tone.
“I need you to do me a huge favor, wait for me outside the estate and make sure no one sees you.”
“Why? What going on?” She asked.
“Please,” I begged. “I have to go.”
I hung up on her while she was still trying to ask me what was going on. I couldn’t talk to her, not now. I had to get some answers for myself. I sat on the floor with my arms wrapped around my legs while trying to catch my breath. I had to get an explanation before I fell apart. Even as the pictures burned a hole into my eyes as they lay right in front of me, I was still wishing that this was a sick fucking joke. What I knew for sure was that I couldn’t stay here, after what he did I don’t think I could ever forgive him. I just wish I could wake up from this nightmare. I wiped my face in the most unlady like way, grabbed the pictures, the note and my purse and walked out of our bedroom, probably for good. I sat on the couch in the living room and waited patiently for him. As I heard his car park in the garage I froze. I didn’t look at him when he entered.
“You’re everything to me, my shining star and the reason for living. If you asked me to walk through fire I do it without even thinking twice about it. I love you more than you can ever imagine. To me the sun rises and sets with you,” I said blankly while staring at the floor. I repeated his words, words that meant the world to me when he proposed to me. Now those words are meaningless. He walked towards me without saying a word, when I looked up I met his questioning gaze and he froze as I pulled out the pictures and threw them on the floor in front of him. He narrowed his eyes at me then bent down to pick up the pictures, I watched his eyes slightly widen as he looked at them. “Say something,” I whispered.
“Ang…” he said as the tears started to stream down my face again. I stood up and put some distance between us. If he got to close I would lose it and fall into pieces. I needed to be strong.
“Say something!” I shrieked. The numbness that I felt earlier was starting to fade away and the gut-wrenching pain surfaced. “Tell me my eyes are deceiving to me.”

Happily Never After : book three
Teaser #2
Two agonizing weeks pass by since the day Angelina came to see me and I have been sitting in my study almost every night waiting on Nathan's call. This is the only place in the estate where I can sit back and somewhat think. Any place else reminds me of the good times I had with Angelina and just thinking about her I feel like my heart is aching completely every hour of everyday. I had my arms folded on my desk with my head in my arms, patiently waiting for Nathan's call. The phone rang and startled me, I answered the call without even asking hello.
“Nathan, any news?”
"Dennis, its Isabella," she whispered. That's weird, why is she calling me? "Ang just found out that she is pregnant. Listen, I'm only calling you to tell you this because I'm scared that she will run, run away from you with the baby." Isabella added. The thought of her running away from me hurt, but what tore me up more was the fact that she would run our unborn child. "Dennis, you have to do something," she said in a concerned voice.
"Thank you for the heads up. I have someone looking into the situation," I told her. "Like I told you before, I love her and I would never do anything to hurt her like this, and now you telling me she's pregnant...I will do anything to make sure she knows the truth."
"Dennis, if you have something up your sleeve I suggest you pull it out of whatever magical hat you have and do something before she dose something drastic," she said in a soft but quiet voice.
"Isabella, you're a good friend to Angelina and I thank you for that," I said. I can't believe she hates me that much that she would just run away from me. I need Nathan to get going on knowing the whereabouts of Stephanie so I can sort out all this bullshit. "Just do me one favor and don't let her do anything irrational," I added with a distressed tone.
“Yes, of course.” She paused for a long minute. “I gotta go,” she mumbled.
Without another word the line went dead. I hung up the phone then slammed my hand down onto my desk. Fuck! Nathan better come through for me soon or I'll be taking matters into my own hands.
"Dennis?" Angelina's voice came through out of nowhere. I looked around the room to see wher her voice was coming from. When I didn't see her or anyone for that matter I immediately thought I was starting to hallucinate? "Dennis, I know you can hear me," she said again, then I remembered about the mic in her necklace that I activated about three weeks back when she left me. I quickly opened my desk draw and fished around till I found the mic and
tracking detector box. “I found the tracker and mic in my necklace…touché.”
She used my own word against me. “I’m an agent too, remember?” I smiled
blankly to myself, and she’s a damn good one too. “I’m going to destroy this
device now,” she said coldly. There was a long pause after she spoke then the
mic and tracker light on the detector deactivated and the red light vanished
along with her coordinates disappeared off the screen.
One thing was for sure was that I had to get her back. I let out a heavy sigh as my cell phone vibrated. I checked it and it was Nathan, he sent me a text message to meet him at the corner of South Street and Kneeland Street, a diner called South Street in...Boston?
-Happily Never After, Chapter One, Dennis' POV
Teaser #1
I hung my head low, it was too bad that I couldn’t track down Angelina myself. Even if I did, she didn’t want anything to do with me. She didn’t even take anything with her; well anything I gave her at least, she just left. Then I remembered the necklace. She always wore the necklace I gave her for her birthday; she never took it off. I installed a tracking device and a mic in the necklace when Benny was after her. I only did it to protect her just in case something happened to her at her birthday party. I opened my desk draw up and found the mic and tracking detector box, I switched it on and synched the tracker with Angelina’s necklace. A red light appeared in the corner of the detector box and I let out a breath of relief that she was still in the New York area when I scanned for her location. I pulled out my laptop and typed in the GPS coordinates that were on the tracking detector’s front screen to refine my search. A street address come up, it looked familiar so I hacked into the CIA database by typing in the details I had and much to my surprise the address was Isabella’s. I don’t know what came over me, but I dialed Isabella’s number.
“Hello?” Isabella answered after three rings.
“Isabella its Dennis. Please don’t hang up, hear me out for a second,” I said and there was a long stretch of silence.
“You shouldn’t be calling here,” she said quietly.
“I know and I’m sorry, but I know Angelina is with you and I just wanted to make sure she was okay. How is she?” I asked.
“She’s heartbroken Dennis, what do you think?” She hissed through the phone.
“You don’t know me Isabella but I love her from the bottom of my heart. I would never be unfaithful to her, I know her past and I would never betray her like that,” I said sincerely and she paused.
“You know what Dennis…I believe you,” she said and my eyes widened in shock. “I can tell by the way you two were together, but it doesn’t matter what I think. She’s hurt, so don’t ask me to try and convince her to get back with you,” she added.
“I wasn’t trying to,” I said and there was another pause.
“So why are you calling then?” She asked confused.
“I just need to know that she is okay.”
“She’s fine, but there is only so much I can do for her,” she said sadly. “She needs you, but find a way to fix this without me. I need to be in her corner right now to support her,” she said in a low voice and then hung up.
I sat back in my chair thinking to myself that I was the one that needed her. So many times I thought I would never find nor need someone to love me the way I needed to be loved. Then she came into my life and showed me what true love really is. How could Carmella and Isabella believe in me that I would never do something so cold and Angelina didn’t? Then it hit me, I opened up old wounds…

“Ang, are you alright?” Isabella asked with an uneasy look on her face. “Because your eyes were pitch black and I noticed your ring started to glow when you lunged at them.”
“Um yeah, it’s just…something that happens when I get mad.” I didn’t know what to say. I slipped up to her once before coming home from the CIA training program, so I figured I should just tell her everything. She knows a lot of personal stuff, so why not add that to the mix. “Remember I said something to you when we came back from the training facility?” She nodded. “Well, it’s because of my ring,” I said as I began to explain how and when this all started. After about an hour of spilling my guts out to her about all this craziness she just looked at me with wide eyes, then shook whatever thought she had out of her head.
“Shit, just remind me to never get you mad,” she teased and we both laughed.
But that laugh quickly ended as I thought about what just happened. I can’t believe how sick and vindictive these two women were, but worst of all I couldn’t believe I fell right into their sneaky little plan. I should’ve known better, I should’ve believed Dennis. He told me countless times that it was me and only me. I just let my own insecurities get the best of me. Isabella guided me back inside the house, once inside reality set in and my knees went weak as I collapsed onto the floor. Isabella comfortingly stroked my hair as I broke down and silently whimpered in her lap.
“I fell right in their trap,” I said in between sobs.
“Shh, it’s okay sweetie. They played us all,” she said and I shook my head.
“Dennis loves me…well loved me,” I whispered.
“Don’t say that, of course he still loves you,” she said tilting my head up. “He’s been nothing but amazing to you, don’t you realized that?” She asked trying to brighten my hopes up.
“I should have believed him,” I said wiping my tearstained face.
“You believed what you saw and you were hurt. No one can blame you for that, not even him,” she replied. She always believed him, so why couldn’t I? Then again, when it came to anything to do with Dennis I couldn’t think or act straight. It’s like he was the spider and I was the moth caught up in his web of seduction.
“He told me he’d never cheat on me. He was always sweet and understanding with me. He put up with my bullshit, but I couldn’t believe him when he needed me to,” I said sadly. “What kind of fiancée or wife could I possibly be for him?” I asked shaking my head, not really asking Isabella for an answer but more myself. Because of this drama I ended up hurting him and breaking my promise, my promise to stick by his side no matter what. “I won’t be surprised if he filed a restraining order against me.” Isabella looked at me dumbfounded.
“Why would he file a restraining order?” She asked while narrowing her eyes. I bit my lip and let out a heavy sigh, I never told Isabella about the unexpected visit I made to the estate.
“I went to see him a few weeks ago, one night when you were working late. Things happened and I got a little crazy,” I said feeling a little embarrassed. I honestly don’t know what in the hell got into me that night. I was so mad with him and myself, I just wanted to take back what I lost and to get one last helping of him, one last goodbye fuck.
“Are you kidding me?” She asked and I shook my head yes. “What the hell did you do? She asked and I just sat there quietly. “That bad?” She probed and I nodded. Just as I was about to open my mouth to explain she cut me off. “Forget it; I don’t even want to know.”
“What am I going to do Isabella?” I asked feeling lost. She moved closer to me, grabbed my hand and looked me dead in the eyes.

Nothing Lasts Forever : book four
Teaser #1
I suddenly woke up in our house, in our bed, disorientated I looked around and I was all alone. It was freezing so I wrapped my arms around myself. I jerked up from the bed; there was a strange sound behind me. I quickly glanced around.
“Hello? Is anybody there?” I asked calmly, and then I saw a figure that I recognized from afar. “Angelina,” I breathed. I felt a little relieved that I was not alone. I started to walk towards her then halted at her expression, it was as if I was a mere stranger to her. She cocked her head to the side as she watched me with a cool indifference that sent a cold shiver down my spine. “Angelina my love, it’s me, Dennis.” I called out to her but she showed no sign of recognizing me. Much to my horror she turned around and began to walk away as if I was nothing. “Wait, don’t leave!” I called after her. “Ang! Baby, please!” I begged to her as I began to chase after her. I ran as fast as I could, but I still couldn’t reach her even though she walked at a normal pace not even looking back at me as I called to her. The cold air that hung heavy in the house burned my lungs as I tried to follow her. I tripped and stumbled over my own two feet banging my knee on the against the hallway floor. When I looked up I saw Angelina disappear into nothingness…
“Dennis!” I felt someone gently shake me. “Dennis, wake up!” My eyes flashed open with a gasp. I met Angelina’s worried gaze with a sudden feel of relief that it was just a dream. I opened my arms up for her and she came to me, hugging me tight. “It’s okay, you’re safe.” She soothed. “It was just a bad dream,” she added as I clung onto her for dear life.
“Please don’t ever leave me,” I said burying my face in her neck. “Don’t ever leave.” She let out a breathless giggle.
“I’m not going anywhere, we’re bonded together…” She said pulling my hand down to her stomach. “Remember?” She added, giving me a chance to calm down. “Want to tell me about it?” She asked, tenderly stroking my hair. I shook my head no while looking over her shoulder and then out the window. It was dark outside as I gazed out the window trying to rid those disturbing images from my head.

Teaser #2
Over the next few days, the days became as rough as hell, and the fact that Dennis was not answering his cell phone did not ease my nerves. He always answered his cell, especially if I was the one calling. I sat on our bedroom balcony after work and grabbed my cell, calling him again. I groaned in frustration when the call got sent straight to voicemail…again. What the fuck?
“You’re scaring me love, call me…please.” I said on the voicemail and then threw my phone onto the other chair.
I probably left a thousand messages and none of them were answered or returned. I wrapped my arms around my legs, stubbornly refusing to succumb to the terrible knot in the pit of my stomach. Dennis was supposed to be back here yesterday, maybe he got held up? But he’d tell me if he was going to be late, wouldn’t he?
The next day I was relieved when Colin turned up at the door and with two other men I didn’t know. That relief was quickly turned into panic and worry, what the hell is he doing here? Was it about Dennis? Or did he have a mission for me? Carmella invited them in and told them to have a seat in the living room. She offered them some coffee as I joined them in the living room. Amber stood next to me, anxious.
“Angelina, you look lovely.” Colin said.
“What’s going on Colin, I know this is not a social visit.” I said and he nodded, his expression revealing nothing.
“Angelina, please have a seat,” he said and I shook my head.
“Don’t tell me to sit down Colin, tell me what this is all about.” Amber touched my shoulder, her anxious eyes were pleading with me to comply. I sat down not taking my eyes off of Colin.
Amber then sat next to me. Colin took a deep breath and simultaneously my heart started racing, something is not right about this situation.
“Dennis never made it to Washington,” he said. I thought I didn’t hear him right over my drumming heartbeat.
