Eye of the Storm (Storm, #2)

He pushed her aside and started pacing. “Are you completely and utterly out of your mind? You’ve got to be kidding me. You know what he is capable of. What if the plan doesn’t work? I will not have you as another victim. I couldn’t live with myself if something happened to you. I won’t have that on my conscience.”


She walked up to him and laid her hands on his face bringing it close to hers. “Exactly. I trust you. We’ll come up with something and we’ll make sure we think of everything. We’ve got to end this.”

“We’ll talk about this later. Right now, we both need some sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a rough day.”

“Yes, it will be. But hopefully something will come of it. But I’m not sure how I will be able to sleep knowing he is here.”

“Do you want to go out to Noah’s? At least, that way you will be surrounded by security.”

“What and leave you here by yourself? Not a chance.”

“I’m a big boy. I can take care of myself.”

“Yes, you can, but that doesn’t mean I still won’t worry. Nope, I’m staying here.”

“Fine, I’ll walk you home.”

“No, here as in the cottage.”

“Like hell.”

“Like hell, I am.”

“No.”

“Yes. You know I can do this all night. You might as well give in. If it makes you feel any better, I’ll sleep on the couch. That way you won’t have to worry about your virtue.” She was willing to do whatever it took in order to be close to him. It always made her feel better, safer to be near him.

“Come here.” He held his hand out to her. She walked over, placing hers in his, and he pulled her close. “I would feel better knowing exactly where you are. But we’ll have to sleep in the same bed. I don’t want you in the other room.”

Evie hoped they would both be able to get some sleep. But if they were going to stay awake, might as well make it torture on him.

“I need to get some things at the house for the night.”

“Let’s go.”

Jeremy sat there and stared at the screen, there was Evie washing the dishes. He was happy that he had thought ahead to wear a camera for tonight’s adventures. Watching as her face filled the screen as he approached the window, the horror on her face was priceless. He froze the picture when her mouth was open. Stroking himself harder and harder until he finally came, spewing cum all over her face on the screen.





– CHAPTER THIRTEEN –


Evie walked into her grandmother’s house in a bad mood. It did not get any better seeing Jackson there waiting for her.

“‘Bout time you showed up. Doing the walk of shame?”

“Perv. No, there is no walk of shame.” Not for lack of trying on my part.

He stopped her when she tried to walk by. “Do you really think this is the smartest thing to do?”

“What are you talking about Oh Wise One?”

“Spending all this time with Anthony? Spending the night over there? Come on, he’s got a psychopath stalker killing people he’s close to and you can’t get closer than sleeping together.”

“That is all we did. Sleep.”

“Ahh… so that’s what has you in such a pissy mood. No nookie for you.”

“Shut up. We are going to Lexi and Noah’s in a bit to go over everything.”

“Really? This I’ve got to see. I’m coming.”

“No, you’re not.”

“It’s not up to you. I’ll call Lexi, I’m sure she’d love me to be there. Or maybe Noah, we seemed to hit it off.”

“No, Jackson, you can’t go. Who’s going to keep an eye on Grandma?” She thought she had him there.

“Not a problem, I’ll drop her off with the rest of the Trio, remember, it’s Thursday.”

“Fuck.”

He just laughed at her.

A thought crossed her mind. “You know, someone really needs to stay with them and make sure they don’t get into any trouble.”

“Not going to work. They’ve been going without supervision for years. They can’t get into much trouble.”

“Famous last words.”

“Plus Noah, put a security detail on them after last night.”

“Oh, they will love that.”

“Yeah, Grams is up there putting on her makeup right now.”

“Wonderful.”

“Now, you need to move it. I’m ready, but seriously, Sis, you need some work. You look like shit.”

“Asshole.” She punched him in the stomach as she walked by, satisfied when he grunted in pain.

“Shotgun,” Jackson yelled as he raced to the car.

“Grow up.” Evie yelled after him.

“Never!” He tried to open the door and frowned when it was locked.

Anthony held up the keyfob to him. “Ladies should always get their choice of seats.”

Jackson scowled at him. “Have you met my sister? I don’t think ‘lady’ is even in her vocabulary.”

Anthony raised his eyebrows at him. “And a true gentlemen would never even dream of saying something like that about any woman.”

Evie walked over and thrust her hip toward Jackson’s to bump him out of the way nodding towards Anthony. “See? You could learn a lot from him.” She just grinned as Anthony opened the door and helped her in.

She couldn’t hear what they said to each other after her door was closed but based on the grim looks on their faces, it wasn’t good. She looked back over her shoulder and gave her brother a look, she never liked it when he went all protective big brother on her.
