a Beautiful Christmas: A Pride and Honor Christmas by Ember-Raine Winters (4)

CHAPTER EIGHT

TASHA

I was getting ready for my seduction game when I got a phone call from Captain Keller. “Hey, what’s up?”

“I have some interesting surveillance footage of one of my best detectives breaking into Trey Thomas’ trunk. You wouldn’t know anything about that, would you?”

The bottom dropped out of my stomach. Surveillance footage? Kenzie had said she looked everywhere and there were no cameras, so I never even looked around before I broke open his trunk. What the fuck am I gonna do now?

“I have no clue. Why would I steal from my sister’s boyfriend? I have more money than I know what to do with.”

“See, I thought the same thing when Parker brought the footage and told me it was you, but video doesn’t lie, Tasha. What kind of game are you girls playing?”

“How do you know it wasn’t just me?” I asked warily. I was not getting the rest of the girls in trouble if I could help it.

“Parker, he went to the scene and saw the exact place Kenzie parked. He also pulled up the parking lot footage and saw that it was practically empty, meaning she didn’t want the car visible on any cameras. She didn’t anticipate the ATM machine in perfect view of the car.”

I could hear the smirk in his voice and I groaned out loud. Wouldn’t help lying at this point. My own boss had me dead-to-rights. “It was just an innocent prank. There was nothing in there but a couple of kids toys and even if they didn’t figure it out, we would have given them back before Christmas.”

He chuckled then. I had no idea why he was laughing. We were in some deep shit if the guys figured out what we did. “I’ll go get the bag first thing in the morning and return it to Trey.”

“It’s a little late for that. They filed a police report this morning and they’re desperate to get that bag back. After what you told me, you girls might be in some trouble. They valued the contents of the bag at over ten thousand dollars.”

“What the fuck? What do you mean ten grand? There’s no way those kid’s toys are worth that much.”

“I can’t tell you what they said was in there, only that you better tell them it was you and hope they drop the case.”

“Yeah, I’ll go over there first thing in the morning and get the bag and confess to everything,” I replied and hung up the phone.

I paced the room for all of five minutes trying to get ahold of Kay before I stopped. Kay took naps in the afternoon with Nat and shut her ringer off so no one would disturb her.

It didn’t matter, there wasn’t anything I could do about it at the moment. As I walked into the bedroom a splitting pain hit my stomach and I doubled over, but it was gone just a second later. Taking a deep breath, I stripped off my clothes and laid on the bed completely naked and waited for Twitch to come home.

 

TWITCH

The house was relatively quiet when I walked in the door. I shut the door firmly behind me and locked it for good measure. We had found out early on that even the most secure buildings could be breached. That’s how I met Tasha.

I heard a guttural moan coming from the direction of the bedroom and fear spiked through me. Was it Tasha? Was the baby coming? Did she fall and wasn’t able to get back up? All of those questions ran through my head as I bolted for the bedroom.

I didn’t see any blood or even any sign of distress. What I did see, had my knees buckling and the last ounce of restraint I had melting away.

Tasha was laying on the bed, completely naked. From where I was standing at the door, I could see her glistening pussy as she circled her clit and pushed two fingers inside herself. This woman is trying to kill me.

“Mm…” she moaned. “Dylan, fuck me Dylan.”

My feet started moving of their own accord and before I knew it, I was kneeling on the bed beside her. Her eyes snapped open and a seductive smile played on those perfect lips.

“Please fuck me. I need to come so badly,” she begged and I nearly gave into her pleas.

“No darlin, I’m not going to fuck you,” I said sternly and I could see the glare start to form on her pretty face. “But, I will make you come.”

Leaning over her I took one sensitive nipple into my mouth and sucked it, hard. Her hips bucked and I smiled against her skin as I ran my tongue down her body and made it to where she wanted me most.

I was hard as fucking steel and it hurt like a bitch, but I had seen pain and misery. A little pain in my dick wasn’t going to kill me. Flattening my tongue I ran it up her center and flicked her clit with it. Her hips bucked and her back arched off the bed as she screamed my name. I lifted my face up to watch as she came, then felt a gush of something by my hands. Looking down I realized a giant puddle of water was soaking into the sheets.

“Please tell me that you didn’t just pee on me,” I said in horror. She screamed again, but this time her scream was a painful shriek. “Shit, the baby’s coming?”

She nodded her head, teeth clenched together as she rolled into the fetal position. “Hold on, darlin’. I have to get you some clothes.”

She reached for me, but I was already off the bed and moving. I grabbed clothes at random from the closet and dialed my phone. Kaylee was supposed to help Tasha through all the childbirth stuff, since Tasha didn’t have any family nearby. Her mother was a complete sociopath and had ended up in prison for her part in Barnes’ operation. Kenzie wouldn’t be of much help, she knew computers and not much else. Kaylee and Marcy were the only ones who had been through this before. Kaylee didn’t answer her phone, so I called Griffin. I put my phone between my shoulder and ear as I dressed Tasha to go to the hospital.

“What’s up?” Griffin asked after a moment.

“Where’s Kaylee?” I asked flustered. Tasha wasn’t making it easy to get her dressed.

“It’s nap time, bro. She’s asleep.”

“I need you to wake her up. Tasha’s in labor.”

“Twitch, that shirt is too small. What are you doing?” Tasha groaned and I cursed. I hadn’t even checked what I was grabbing. I ran back to the closet and found one of her new loose-fitting maternity shirts.

“I’ll wake her up and we’ll meet you at the car in ten,” Griffin told me, then hung up the phone.

“Come on, baby. You gotta get up, so we can get you to the hospital.”

She groaned again and shook her head. “I can’t move, it hurts too bad.”
