His Secret Obsession
Chapter 97

(Jack)

Turning over in bed, the sound of my phone going off made my eyes flutter open as the bright light caused me to wince. I slowly sat up with a groan, reaching across the naked blonde next to me to get my still-ringing cell phone. Shit, I completely forgot about the blonde...Lisa, or Lacey...I think she said something like that.

Yeah, not one of my finest moments but I ended up at the bar last night and well, you know the rest. Yesterday was the day Em moved out and apparently this was my way of coping. F**k..I need better outlets.. Al, Carson, and I went down to the Watering Hole, the local bar in town, and we might have gotten pretty wasted. Well, Carson and I did..Allen not so much. He ended up driving us back home and I somehow ended up with this blonde attached to my hip.

I should have listened to f*****g reason..which would be my brother..he told me not to take her home but I just didn't listen. I'm sure I won't hear the end of it..and poor Carson ended up yacking out the window on the way home. Not the best night for any of us. I heard the blonde moan softly as I tried to stealthily jump out of bed with my phone in my hand without waking her. Of course, my damn leg got caught in the sheet, causing me to tumble to the floor before freezing in place and listening for any sound of the chick waking up. After realizing the coast was clear, I hastily army crawled my way out of the damn room.

I just wasn't ready to deal with this shit..plus I saw it was Luke Monroe calling. My old high-school buddy now sheriff who has been keeping me posted on that douchebag Ethan.

I gingerly stood before peeking back and saw the blonde had now shifted in bed with the sheet half off of her, revealing her large perky tits and a small butterfly tattoo just above her navel..I didn't notice that before. Fuck..get ahold of yourself Jack, not the time. I slipped out the door, luckily I had my briefs on..nobody needs to be seeing that.

I answered the phone and pulled it to my ear.

"About fucking time Jack." Luke muttered, making me lift my arm and run my fingers through my thick hair.

"Yeah sorry, long night." I admitted before clearing my throat and not wanting to go into detail. Today is the day of the trial, and if Luke was calling..something was up.

"That's what I heard..Lacey Sampson huh?" He asked in a teasing tone...ah, so it was Lacey then. Guess news travels fast around here..

"Mitch wasn't too happy about that one. Wrecked the bar after you left, have him in one of our holding cells now." Luke informed..fucking Mitch Ballard..local Town asshat and ex-quarterback..let's just say he peaked in high school. So this chick was messing around with Mitch huh?

"That's not why I called though." He confessed in a more serious tone, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"What is it?" I asked, sitting on the patio chair as I looked towards the house..seemed like Allen had taken the truck out.

"I just got word...he is going to be granted bail." Luke dropped on me and I sprang up, pure fury filling me as I gripped the phone tight.

"No fucking way..how could they do this? What are they waiting for? For the guy to hurt her before they take this serious? Nope..I'm not going to let this happen..I'm going to fucking go down there and.." Before I could finish I heard Luke trying to calm me down.

"I know Jack..I know it's fucked up. The captain apparently owed Hank Douglas a favor..so Mr. Douglas is cashing it in on his son..1 mil Jack..that's what the judge is going to set it at." Luke informed me and I knew one million dollars was nothing for Hank Douglas..he was a politician for crying out loud..fucking disgusting.

"When..when will he get out?" I asked between clenched teeth.

"Considering they haven't even gone to trial yet, I would say by tonight he will be out. They are putting him on house arrest. But Jack..this kid is f*****g insane. Did you get a hold of scott?" Luke asked worriedly and the tone of his voice made my stomach drop. If Luke was saying this..then he must've realized how bad this was.

"Yeah, Asher called him and set it up for Monday. Scott offered to do it for free..considering he knew Em since she was a kid." I explained, remembering those times we would play poker with Em or have her tag along. Scott hasn't seen her in a while but he always asks about her. She could make the coldest of men smile..I swear. That kiddo of mine is something else..fuck I miss her already.

"Maybe have him start tonight..just keeping surveillance. They moved into the new building downtown, right? Seems like it's pretty heavily guarded. We can get two patrol cars out as well, one watching the Douglas place and the other outside of Em's." He offered and I hummed in agreement. How did my Em get into this situation? I know she is special..but this kid has to be messed up in the head, considering everything Asher has said to him too.

"Luke...if he so much as tries anything..I don't think I can hold back. I can't let anything happen to her..you know what it was like..how much she means to Al and I..she is our world." I felt like I was about to choke up..I didn't want to even imagine the worst outcome. It made me sick to my stomach..

"The restraining order is still in effect...he will have the ankle bracelet and Scott will be on it..Jack, you need to promise me you won't go after this kid. They will fucking crucify you. Let Scott handle it if he approaches her." Luke warned and I let out a deep sigh.. "Thanks, Luke..how did you replace out all of this?" I asked curiously..to know what the judge will say before they even have the trial blows my mind..how fucked up is the judicial system? Money can solve everything it seems.

"The bailiff and I went to the same academy. He overheard it all..so I am breaking all kinds of rules right now but so are they..and honestly, I don't give a shit. But Jack..call me if anything happens or if he reaches out to her..do not act on your own. I f*****g swear..you better not be f*****g stupid about this." Luke grumbled, making me chuckle as I sat back down on the patio chair.

"When have I ever been stupid Luke?" It was a rhetorical question..that's for sure.

"Mhmm..well..say hi to Lacey for me won't ya?..and Jack, she isn't one to fuck around with. She is one of the good ones, so please don't be an ass.." He added before we said our goodbyes, and I let out a long sigh, placing my phone on the patio table and covering my face with my hands.

So the asshole had his rich daddy pull some strings..I swear if that punk even goes near Em I will not only cut off the kid's balls, but his dad's too.

Suddenly I heard the front door creak open just as I saw the backside of Lacey backing out of my place, trying to be quiet as she closed the door before letting out a long breath she must have been holding.

Suddenly she turned around, her hair all disheveled and her clothes wrinkled with her shirt on backwards. It was hard not to laugh..

"Leaving so soon?" I quipped, making her practically jump out of her skin as her wide blue eyes locked onto mine.

"What the hell, when did you get out here?" She asked in confusion, carrying her shoes in one hand with her purse clutched in the other.

Okay, I admit..Lacey was hot as hell..her natural blonde hair and blue eyes were definitely easy in the eyes. She also had gorgeous curves and a nice round a*s. Not to mention those full pouty lips that were begging to be kissed. Suddenly the image of me kneeling behind her and gripping her hips last night flashed through my mind as I remembered my d**k pounding in and out of her tight p***y. No..bad Jack! You have no f*****g time for this right now.

I slowly stood, watching as her eyes began to wander my naked chest, making me smirk as she stiffened beneath my gaze. Damn...why was she so f*****g sexy?

"Well, thanks for lastnight..it was..fun. But I better go." She blurted, the thought of her leaving making my chest tighten...which was odd as hell.

"Do you need a ride?" The words fell from my mouth before I could stop them. I must have drank way too much last night..maybe I'm still drunk now...

"No thanks, I ordered an Uber..so..yeah, I better go!" She stated again and went to walk past me. Just as she stepped in my path, I felt my hand reach out and grip her arm.

Before I knew it I had pulled her to my chest, making her gasp as she looked up at me in shock. He full breasts pressed agaisnt me, making my c**k stir as I couldn't help but stare at her with l**t filled eyes. Damn..why am I still so horny?

"Can I see you again?" What the fuck..was I possessed or something?! I couldn't help but let my eyes drift down to those full lips as I found myself inching closer and closer to her.

"Jack, you don't have to do this..I knew what this was before even coming home with you. It's fine...I mean, you like your share of women..and I needed a distraction. So thanks...again...and goodbye." She quickly pulled away, jogging down the steps as I watched in complete shock.

What the hell just happened? Usually woman are all clingy and want to meet up again..or in some cases don't even leave until I have to come up with an excuse to get them out of the house..

I watched the curvy blonde bombshell slip on her shoes before practically running the hell away from me and I couldn't help but be intrigued..Lacey Sampson..where the fuck have you been hiding?

After this Ethan shit is taken care of..I just might replace out..
