Understanding she could use some reassurance from him, not so much about their relationship, but about his faith in her abilities, he replied, “That may be the grossest understatement ever made in aerial warfare. Get us someplace safe so I can take my belt to your ass before I fuck it.”
She grinned. “Yes, Sir!”
Opening fire one last time, she launched her last missile and, amid the smoke and flying debris, turned the chopper back toward the sea. She dropped well below the cliff on which the fortress sat, making a beeline for open water and flying just above the shimmering waves, following what looked like a pathway to forever provided by the sun.
Chapter
Twelve
“Thom?”
“Yeah, babe,” he said, opening his eyes. He’d been drowsing, the soft whup-whup-whup of the chopper lulling him back into exhaustion now that his adrenaline rush was wearing off. He could see land in the distance, but it was too far away. Flying this low over the water gave him nothing but sea to look at, and the lack of stimulation just made him that much more tired.
Eying him in concern, Avery asked, “Are you okay? Did they hurt you?”
Rolling his head against the seat, he reached from his seat to hers and stroked her cheek with his finger. It made him smile when she tilted her head to press her face against his palm. “I’m fine. As far as kidnappings went, they were downright pleasant, which I suspect had to do with Finn’s brother. Did you find his stuff on the dark web?”
She nodded. “How do you know?”
“He told me right before I decked him. Jesus, Avery, you were so brave. I know very few people who could have done what you did at our house. You gave Christian the opportunityto bring us in on what Fariq has been up to and to help stop him before anyone else gets hurt.”
“Then why’d you deck him?”
Thom grinned. “I don’t care if the asshole is saving the world, he doesn’t get to put his hands on my woman.”
Avery giggled, that same delightful sound he’d heard only one time before. “You really are an ass.”
All right, that woke him up.
“Oh, I am, am I? Let’s see, I already told you I was going to welt your ass and then fuck it. That’s for putting your life in danger and disobeying me. Calling Daddy names will get you a mouth full of soap added onto the bill. Would you care to try for a ginger plug up your bottom hole? I’m pretty sure it’ll burn like hell, especially after I’ve fucked it. With that in your ass and me in your pussy, I’ll bet you can’t hold still.”
She looked out the window first, then cleared her throat before glancing his way. If she thought he was joking, he wasn’t. The minute he got her home, he was taking his belt to her ass. Maybe by the time he was finished, he’ll have decided which hole of hers he wanted to fuck hardest or first.
“D-Daddy?” she squeaked.
“Eyes front, little girl. Where are we headed?”
“Back to Tarifa.”
“Is that where you left from?”
“Yes.”
“We’re alone and you’re in trouble. How are you supposed to answer me?”
She smiled happily and seemed to relax. “Yes, Sir.”
“Then I’d rather not go there. We’re too far from Wales, but if we stop to refuel, do you think we could make the safe house in Monaco?”
“That shouldn’t be an issue, especially in this buggy. This is a sweet ride.”
Thom looked around. It was smaller than the corporate chopper but larger than her personal one. “Where did you get it? I’m assuming no one at the firm knew you’d gone until after the fact.”
She looked embarrassed again. She ought to be; this little stunt of hers would definitely have got her friends in trouble too. “Yes, Sir. Zara talked to Ghazil and he arranged for it.”
“Zara? And let me guess, Finn?”
“Yes, Sir.”
