“Which means they had something to hide and thought it was a strike team coming after them.” His dad was staring at him with a frown. Like he knew what he was doing and was hitting him with that “what the hell, TJ” look.
If that look was supposed to intimidate him, then his father shouldn’t have told him to please Lou sexually every chance he got. Maybe his dad didn’t think this was the right chance, but TJ took things seriously. “I never got a good look. I think the man who interrogated me was Friedrich. He had a German accent. But I think someone was with him. I heard whispering. Like there was someone bigger, someone they didn’t want to expose, but he was running things. He wasn’t speaking German, but it also wasn’t English. I’m not sure. Definitely a European. They explained that they’d made it so my friends would think I was off with a woman.”
He’d been so worried they would believe it. He rested his head against Lou’s shoulder. Outwardly it would look like he was being affectionate. But the motion covered his arm moving, so he could slip a finger in her pussy. Thumb on her clit, rotating while that finger slowly drove inside her.
“Can you not be professional?” Kala complained. “Do you have to be so huggy?”
He was going to have to shut that down. She could be territorial when it came to Lou, but he wasn’t going to let that stop him. If Kala was happy being sexless and alone because she couldn’t forgive Cooper, that was her choice, but he was going to make sure Lou didn’t make the same one.
“Like Mom and Dad don’t do this all the time during a meeting,” Kenzie shot back. “They made out in front of the Joint Chiefs of Staff once.”
“And we all swore we would do better,” Cooper shot back.
TJ rather thought he was doing better. This was better than some rando make-out session.
“I knew you wouldn’t do that.” Lou sounded only a bit hoarse. She placed both of her hands on the keyboard of her laptop and glanced down as though staring at something on the screen. “When Zach got the text, he brought it to me, and I knew it wasn’t you.”
Her screen was a blank Word document, and then she typed.
Harder.
Oh, she thought she was in charge, did she? Still, she’d been awfully sweet to defend him, to know exactly who he was. He pressed down and rotated. “I’m glad someone knew me. You knew I wouldn’t blow you off.”
“I knew you wouldn’t miss Devi’s birthday,” she replied, eyes still on the screen.
He eased off.
Damn it.
“I wouldn’t blow you off, Lou,” he said quietly.
“I have a memory burned into my brain that says you would,” his uncle added.
It feels like you are now. This feels like punishment. Should I get to my own seat?
It sucked that she was the only one who could communicate, but then he rather thought she liked that. He stroked her again and felt her relax. They were going to have such a talk after this, but first he had two jobs to do, and only one of them involved his mouth, unfortunately. “Anyway, after a pretty full day of seeing how much electricity they could run through my body, they decided I wasn’t going to give in. That was when they explained to me that they were going to the States to pick up something that would make me talk. I’m going to admit that I tossed my mom straight under a bus.”
“You did what?” his dad asked.
Lou’s pussy tightened around his finger, and he knew she was close. So close to coming for him, and she was going to be a good girl and keep it quiet. She wouldn’t let anyone know what he was doing. His cock was practically throbbing, but he ignored it. His cock would have to wait. He had a play to run.
Make Lou crave him the way he craved her.
His mom merely smiled and winked his way. “Thanks, baby boy. It was fun. I hadn’t gotten jumped like that in a long time. And you know there are privileges that come with age. I didn’t even have to bury the body on my own. All the fun. None of the responsibility.”
Lou’s fingers moved on the keys, but then no one would think anything of it. Lou was always somewhat distracted during a debrief, always looking something up or making some kind of note.
So close. Please don’t stop.
His dad nodded as though understanding. “Ah, they floated some names out, and you begged them not to hurt your mom. Your delicate flower of a mother.”
“Damn straight I am. Tag, you need to send me and Liam back out in the field. I have a taste for killing again,” his mom quipped.
