The weight of Roberts's injuries settles heavily on my shoulders. Playing the 'what if' game is never going to do anybody any good.
"How do we stop this son of a bitch from hurting any more people?" I want a plan in place so we can end this.
"Ivan," Ace looked up from where he was sitting at the computer, "the men that attacked and killed Starling - they didn't work for the Senator."
"Who the hell do they work for?"
Jim spoke up before anyone else could, "That would be the question to answer, wouldn't it. It is definitely the question I want answered." If he is here he must think the third guy is responsible for the assassination.
"So where do we go from here?"
"It has to be tonight, something tells me the Senator is spooked that someone killed Starling and he is the only person who can tell anyone who did it."
I turn to Kat, kissing her softly. "This is going to take a little while. You should go back upstairs and try to get some sleep while you can." I wink at her.
She flashes me a grin and walks to the door but before she goes out she turns back, "Ivan," she has the whole room's attention, not just mine. "Kill the son of a bitch."
My face breaks out into a big grin. "Yes, Ma'am."
She turns back around and leaves, shutting the door behind her. When I refocus on the room full of people they are in various degrees of shock. Ace looks like he's a lovesick puppy, one of Jim's men looks like he would sell his soul for a woman like Kat, and even Jim has a little smile tilting up the corners of his mouth.
"You sure you can handle...that. She seems pretty feisty which is cool now but what happens when you forget an anniversary. She's the type of woman that will back over you with a car." His smile says he's joking but his mouth although smiling looks a little tight. I've not known Jim long but I know him by reputation and the fact that a woman like Kat throws him out of his vaunted comfort zone is hotter than hell.
"All the better to never forget one."
Jim inclines his head. "Better you than me, brother."
After that, we all turn our attention to the problem at hand. How the hell do we go after the Senator before the guy runs or kills any more people? One of the major problems is that he has so many eyes on him already it's going to make it difficult for us to actually get close enough to kill him. Not to mention the number of goons that he surrounds himself with. This is going to take half the night or better just to work up a plan that allows us to go around his people.
We go back and forth debating entrance points and mock set-ups of where everyone would need to be. Everyone wants to go through with it tomorrow night but I think we need to run through it a couple more times to make sure everyone understands what to do if plan ‘A’ doesn't work.
By the time I drag my exhausted ass up to our room I have a new respect for Jim and his men. They are good. They know what they are doing and I can see why they are elite in the area they work in. I open the door as quietly as I can so I won't wake Kat up. All I want is her warm body pressed close to mine and a few hours of uninterrupted sleep.
The light comes on before I can turn from the door. She's sitting up in bed. "Have you plotted and planned all you need to for the night?"
I nod. "So, tomorrow night you'll go to try to kill him." I give her another nod. I will never hide anything from this woman.
"Promise me." I cock my head to the side and narrow my eyes, "Promise me you'll come back. Promise me you....," she looks away before raising her eyes back to mine. "Promise, because you would never break a promise to me."
God damn, I love this woman. I walk to the bed and crawl up on it until I reach her hips and pull her down under me so that I can stare into her eyes. "I promise with everything I have that I will come back to you. I would never leave you. Not now." I run my hand over her belly to show her what I mean. She might be carrying our child. There is no force on this fucking earth that is going to keep me from coming home to her when this is all done.
"Then kiss me." She's a demanding little kitten but I love her.
I lower my lips to hers and glory in the softness I find there. She is everything I am not, soft, beautiful, fresh, and perfect. I quickly pull the shirt she is wearing over her head. It's one of mine and I love the fact that she wanted to wrap herself up in my scent. Her legs wrap around my waist and in no time I am sliding into her heat. She helps me push my jeans down over my ass so I can lose them and be naked with her. Her hands reach around me and grab the flesh of my ass hard enough to show me she wants it a little rougher than the first time.
I moan in her mouth and pick up my pace. She bites my lip, there's a wild look in her eyes that drives me fucking crazy. This woman has been made for me. I take her legs and bring them up to my shoulders so I can pound into her deeper. She arches her back and moans out, calling my name.
I pull out of her and delight in her disapproving little whine. She wants me to stay inside of her and that's a good thing because that's what I want too. I roll her over on her stomach and pull her hips up from the bed. "I want to take you from behind so I can go deeper." I push forward and her wetness envelops me again. Both of us moan and pant out. I set a hard pace for us and halfway through I wet my thumb and rub it on the tight little swirl right above the place my cock is going in and out of with such zeal.
She yips and tries to jerk forward but I stop her by reaching around her hips and holding her to me. "There will not be a spot on your body I don't worship with my cum, Kitten. I will have this spot too. And when I sink into it, it will be so good you will be addicted to my cock in your tight little asshole."
My fingers travel down to her clit and start to rub. She moans at my words and the sensation of having so many erogenous zones played with at once. Her ass opens up for me a little and I push forward so that just the tip of my thumb is inside of her but it is enough that I can feel my dick sawing back and forth in her pussy. I pick up the pace. Fuck I'm close. Seeing my thumb sink in the tight cavern of Kat's ass and being able to feel me in her through the thin flesh that separates her holes is too much for me and I can't hold back.
"Oh God, yes, Ivan. You can have whatever you want as long as you don't stop."
My thumb is going farther in each time I take it out and push it back in. Her hips are rocking and she is close. "Cum with me, Kitten. Cum now!" I bury myself deep in her pussy as it milks me dry and plunge my thumb all the way into her ass as everything tightens and contracts around me. My balls tighten up too and in seconds the overwhelming release shoots into my Kitten's waiting womb.
Both of us collapse and I gently roll to the side so I don't crush her. I pull her to me cupping my body around hers. And as I drift off to sleep I think about how much a life can change in such a short amount of time.
