and yours, and now I’m at the ranch. Where are you guys? If I’m interrupting I’ll come back Monday.”

Willis had told him he was stationed out of Lubbock, which was close to Bringham.

“She’s supposed to be at the ranch,” Hawk said. “Austin was supposed to be watching her.”

“He said Jessica and Aurora went to the bakery to get cookies. I checked and they’re not there. I just wanted to talk with her about an idea I had to drag Grant Dobbs out of telling lies.”

“Okay.” Hawk pounded his fist against his thigh. Holt and Kyle watched. “I’ll find her.”

“Sounds good,” Willis said. “Hey, listen, do you have Becky’s phone number? I didn’t ask her for it last night. Too many people around.”

Hawk wanted to smile, but right now he was too pissed. “I’ll text it to you.”

“Thanks.” The two said goodbye and Hawk sent Becky’s info to Willis. Then he turned to his brothers. “Jessica and Aurora are not at the house. Where would they have gone?”

“What the hell?” Holt asked. He pulled out his phone and punched the screen. Hawk did the same. Jessica didn’t answer, but as her phone went to voicemail he heard Holt say, “You’re where?”

Holt’s next words made Hawk’s blood boil. “Stay there. We’re on our way.” He disconnected and said, “Care for a trip to a sex shop?”

“Excuse me?” Hawk asked.

“We’ll have to take your truck, because they took mine.” Holt was smiling, but Hawk was not. Kyle was laughing.

“Let’s go,” Hawk said. They were done shoeing the horse, which was good. And the trip to Amarillo would give him plenty of time to think of a good punishment for Jessica disobeying him.

Chapter 8

Jessica ran her finger over the plastic that contained the “Ultimate in Bondage Pleasure.” If she was reading it right, the restraints ran from her wrists to her ankles, and the straps could be adjusted so she could be put into any position. Did she want to buy it? Why yes, she did, but she already had a host of other toys in the basket she’d picked up after they’d been here a while. She’d checked on Aurora several times, and her friend had also picked up a basket, but she only had two things in it, both of them dildos.

She took the package off its hook and turned it over to see the instructions on the back. There was a photo of a woman on her knees, her wrists and ankles bound by the straps. Jessica’s mouth watered as she thought about being that woman, whose mouth was open enough to accept a cock. Even though she’d just sucked Hawk off hours ago she wanted to do it again. Yeah, this was something she was going to buy. Maybe she could use it to bribe Hawk out of being mad at her.

She swallowed a smile and was just about to put it in her basket when someone ripped it out of her hand.

“Hey, that’s mine!” She lunged for it, but when the man holding it held it out of her way, fear shot through her. She recognized that movement. It had ended up with her getting four stitches in her thigh. Jessica lifted her head to see Hawk staring down at her, his anger apparent.

“Hey, Sir,” she said. She lifted up onto her tiptoes and kissed him. “Fancy meeting you here.” Her heart sunk when he didn’t answer. A glance around her showed Aurora standing in nearly the same spot she’d been in for more than an hour, laughing as Holt smiled down at her.

“It’s supposed to be a surprise, for their wedding,” Jessica said. “I didn’t know where we were going, honestly.”

“You knew you were coming to Amarillo, though, didn’t you?”

Jessica nodded.

“And you lied to Austin to get here.”

Jessica nodded once more.

“And you didn’t bother to call me and let me know where you were at.”

Jessica nodded a third time.

“Strike three, you’re out,” he said. “Let’s not forget the fact you were supposed to stay at the ranch."

“I’m sorry,” she said.

“So am I.” He glanced down at the basket that sat at her feet. “Going on a shopping spree?”

“Well, I figured as long as I was here, I should buy a few toys.”

“A few?”

Oh damn she was happy to see the hint of a smile on his face. If it hadn’t been there she would be afraid this would be the end of their relationship, and while she wasn’t sure about the L word, she certainly loved the sex
