Emmett shot up out of bed
as his cell phone chirped. “Fuck,” he spat.
“No, fuck me,” Rose
purred, her fingers dancing up his tattooed back. “Emmett, your woman is horny
and needs you, baby.” He turned around, thrusting his phone into her face. She
blinked, glowering at the harsh light. However, her lips thinned when she saw
the message. “She’s going through with this bullshit plan?”
“I don’t think it’s
bullshit, Rose,” he said, his voice quiet, contemplative. “You’re close with
Bella. Has she been happy? Before Doc Cullen? Has she been truly happy?”
“No,” Rose said, sitting
up and taking Emmett’s phone. “Boss man won’t like this, Em.”
“He’s the one who
suggested it, baby,” he said. Rose blinked to him, her eyes wide. “Yeah … he
realizes that if you love it, sometimes you have to let it go.”
“At the risk of Bella’s
life? Edward’s life?” she sneered.
“There’s been a few
amendments, Rose,” Emmett said, replying back to Bella’s message. What time are we meeting? “She probably
won’t respond tonight. If I had to guess, she’s probably going to lose herself in
Doc Cullen.”
“I wouldn’t blame her,”
Rose said. “I love you, Emmett, but Doc Cullen is hot.” Emmett scowled,
twisting his muscular body and pinning her to the bed. She gasped, looking up
at him as he gently nudged her legs apart. When he slid inside her, all
thoughts she had about Doc Cullen dissipated and she lost herself in Emmett.
After making love with
Rosalie, Emmett stayed with her until she fell asleep. With a soft kiss to her
forehead, Emmett got up, pulling on a pair of jeans. He swiped his phone and
made his way to the office in the condo he shared with Rose. He dialed Jasper.
“Took you long enough,” Jasper snapped.
“Sorry, I was fucking my
woman,” Emmett said, shrugging. “You got the message?”
“We all did. Harry, too,”
Jasper replied. “However, Charlie called me as soon as he got the message.”
“Why didn’t he call Harry?
He’s his second in command,” Emmett sighed.
“Harry was with Charlie
when the text came through,” Jasper answered. “I never thought Bella would go
through with the plan. She’s … she’s Charlie’s
daughter, through and through.”
“She’s miserable, Jas,”
Emmett retorted. “Only since Doc Cullen came back into her life has the real Bella come out. Yes, she’s guarded,
but I can see glimpses of the woman I knew before.” Emmett opened up his
computer and his fingers flew over the keyboard. “Now, let’s talk about the
plan. Jenks on board?”
“He’s been on board. He
just needs to know the names for the new identities,” Jasper answered. Pausing
and blowing at a breath, he continued, “And a final tally of who’s leaving.”
“Bella and Edward, for
certain,” Emmett said.
“What about you?” Jasper asked.
“Charlie offered this plan for anyone who wanted out.”
“I’m considering it.
Truly, the ability to walk away and live the life I’ve always wanted with
Rosie?” Emmett whispered. “Don’t get me wrong. I love Harry and Charlie. They
were there when I needed them the most, but I’ve been shot four times, stabbed,
and had my life threatened more than I care to admit. It would be a new start.
A legit start. What about you?”
“I can’t … I don’t know,”
Jasper answered, his indecision coloring his tone. “Alice is all about a new
start. It’s not like she has a major role in the organization. She’s a drug
dealer, but peddling prescription meds as opposed to cocaine, heroin or
ecstasy. My job skills are a bit more … um, difficult
… to use since I specialize in weapons. Your skill set is more attuned to
real life with your business degree and the ability to run a club.”
“I can understand your
trepidation, Jasper,” Emmett said. “But, you’re smart. You could do anything. Maybe
… become a cop!”
“Like they won’t run a
background check or run my fingerprints, asshole,” Jasper deadpanned. “I need
to think about it. Alice is my everything, but this plan? I don’t know, man. I
really don’t. And my fear is that Jacob will see this ambush a mile away.”
“Jacob is blind when it
comes to Bella. He just sees her as a stupid woman, incapable of being a mob
boss. He sees her as a pussy to fuck,” Emmett growled. “He doesn’t care and
with her word of a partnership, an alliance, he’ll be even more blinded. Yes,
we will need to proceed with caution and bring Doc Cullen into the loop.”
