Stakeout (A Stalker Novel Book 1) by Karen Raines, Brittany Crowley (15)

Briella

 

“…in your tight ass and you’ll be begging me for more.”

I’m writhing on the bed with Colby’s hands all over my body. Then he slides his cock to my entrance and…

“Shit.” My eyes fly open and the disappointment sets in at the realization it was just a dream. I’m a sweaty mess and my hands have a tight hold on the sheets. “Damn that was a good dream.”

“I’d say so. If I heard you call out my name one more time I was about to give you the real thing.”

My cheeks flame red and when I pop my head up I notice he’s not looking at me but the monitor of our surveillance equipment. He’s furiously punching away at the keys obviously up to something.

“What’d I miss?”

“From the looks of it an orgasm.” He chuckles. “Fuck…” Colby goes back to tapping away on the keys.

“Seriously, what’s going on?”

“An alarm started going off on Cross’s computer back in Boston. He tried tracing it and came up with nothing. Just a bunch of dead ends and false IP addresses.”

“Can we see what they’re monitoring?”

“We sure can. They have a camera solely in the bedroom. Meaning…”

“Someone was waiting for Nadia to suck some dick.”

“Bingo.”

“But who?”

Before Colby can answer my laptop in the far corner of the room goes off. Looking at the clock I curse knowing it’s the Mayor.

“You should have woken me up earlier, I have a video call with the fucking Mayor!”

“And let you miss out on my slick fingers?” Colby smacks my ass as I turn.

“They’re not as slick as you think.” I toss over my shoulder while running for the bathroom. I’ll call the Mayor back in a second no way am I answering the video call with bed head and stank breath. Whether he can smell it or not is irrelevant.

Ten minutes later I press the button to connect with the Mayor.

“It’s about time.”

“We had a lead we couldn’t get away from.”

I can hear Colby chuckling from the other side of the room and I flip him the bird off-screen.

“How’s your progress?”

“I think you’ll be pleased to know we got some footage of Nadia in a very compromising position last night, or positions would be a better description. It’s all on our surveillance footage.”

“Excellent. And McGregor… was he involved?”

“Not as far as we can tell. Good news, right? We’ll be able to finish out the day, get all our stuff together and head home.”

“You aren’t coming home yet.”

The look of anger on his face stuns me for a moment. “Excuse me?”

“I paid you to do a job.”

“To see if your wife was cheating on you. We have the proof so the job’s done.” I don’t like where this is going.

“You’re not leaving until I know beyond a shadow of a doubt Frankie McGregor isn’t involved. I’m not convinced. Do I need to worry about you doing your job?” He sits back and looks at me like I’m an incompetent fool.

I have half a mind to tell him to fuck off but think better of it. He is the Mayor after all.

“We’ll continue surveillance with everyone she comes in contact with. Do you want the names of the guys she was with last night?”

“Guys?” He chuckles. “I always knew she was a whore. It’s not necessary. Get it done Briella.”

Then the screen goes blank.

“What the hell?” Colby walks up to me.

“Apparently catching his wife fuck two guys is small potatoes compared to what he’s looking for. But why is he so intent on Frankie McGregor? What are we missing?”

“That is the question of the hour. Cross just got back to me and managed to break through and find the link.”

“Well, don’t leave me in suspense!”

“See, that’s the funny thing. It traces right back to the island.”

“Well that’s a game changer. Where do we go from here?” Think Bri, think.

We’re silent for a few minutes when an alarm goes off. When we look at the screens there’s a new person walking through the house.

“Who’s this guy?” Colby questions as his phone rings.

“Hey Cross, anyone who’s stepped foot on this island needs a background check. Anyone that’s encountered Nadia and her crew, anyone that’s questionable and don’t leave any stone unturned.” He looks at me. “We need to figure out who that fucking feed belongs to. The sooner the better.” He walks away to continue his conversation.

I look back towards the screen and all I’ve seen so far is this guy’s back. It’s almost like he knows where the cameras are, which is impossible. We use top-of-the line cameras that are undetectable. He’s a lucky bastard for picking the right angles.

When I change rooms, I see Nadia’s still passed out in her room by herself. When I switch back I see Calvin talking to the mystery man.

“Here’s the footage.” He passes him a small object. It looks like a USB drive but it’s hard to tell. “How the hell have you kept her satisfied all these months? Girl’s a fucking animal!”

“I’m a fucking beast, that’s how. I know what I’m doing unlike your sorry ass. This better be good and exactly what I asked for.”

“It is. Now I can head home back to…”

“I’m not done with you yet.”

“But you said…”

“Do we have to go over why you’re here again?”

Calvin sighs and leaves the room. Before he exits the door, the mystery guy tells him to meet at a bar tonight to discuss further plans.

“Cross is on it.” Colby comes up beside me looking at the screen.

“I’ll get Syd on this too. It’ll go faster if they work together.” I walk over to the nightstand and grab my phone. After hitting her name, it begins ringing.

“lo…”

“Did I interrupt?” I laugh.

“Just woke up… where the hell am I?” I can hear rustling then a Hey doll in the background. A door shuts a moment later and I hear the phone moving again.

“Next time I decide to troll a pool hall smack me in the vagina. These frat boys are so fucking lazy and couldn’t find my clit if it had a buzzer on it.”

“Noted. Need me to call later when you get home? This requires your attention.”

“No, I’m good. I just sent for an Uber. What’s up?”

I give her the information and tell her I’ll text her all the information we need.

“Perfect. You know how much I love making that nerd eat my dust. He’s slow as shit. Colby will hire anyone these days.”

“Whatever gets the job done.” I laugh. “How’s it going?”

“Fabulous. Having the apartment to myself has been eye-opening and I’ve decided you can’t live with me anymore. Walking around naked is too freeing.”

“You walk around naked when I’m home. Bitch! I can’t believe you’d kick me out so fast!”

“I’m sure someone wouldn’t leave you out on the street. The man you said has the cock that’s always locked and loaded. The dick you claimed could cure…”

“Okay I get it, I get it. I’m still not moving out Syd. I’ll text everything over. Let me know what you have in a couple hours.”

“Yes Captain.” Then the line goes dead.

“Could cure…” Colby wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me into his body.

“Why does she have to talk so freaking loud?”

He chuckles then kisses my neck. “Let’s take another shower babe.”

I pull away and take a step back. “There’s no time Maitland, keep your hands where I can see them. I need to get to Nadia’s and see who’s there?”

“He hasn’t shown his face on camera yet?”

“Nope and we can’t miss him leaving.”

I grab my bag, but Colby takes it and places it back on the table. “You went yesterday, I’ve got it.”

I wrap my arms around his shoulders and look into his brown eyes. “Sucking up won’t get you laid any faster. You forget, I know you better than anyone else. I’ve got your number Maitland.”

“A guy can dream.” He closes the distance between us and slides his tongue in my mouth.

I pull back in a daze and push him towards the door. We can’t waste an opportunity to find out who this guy is. I’m hoping this is Nadia’s mystery man. Judging by their conversation they’re planning something pretty big. The only thing I can think of is they’re gonna use that video of Nadia’s threesome against the Mayor. Blackmail maybe? It isn’t original but it’s effective for getting large sums of money.

Why is the Mayor convinced that Nadia’s fucking a mob boss? There’s no evidence they’re linked, we’ve looked everywhere. None of this is adding up.

We’re on the second day of this job and it’s already a clusterfuck.

Thank god, I love a challenge.
