Risky Secrets by Xondra Day

protect him anyway? He’s nothing more than a thief and a
liar.” The man looked amused as he spoke. “The Leones want him dead. I’m not
leaving until the job is done. I’ll go through you if I have to.”
    Keith
felt Tom’s hand on his shoulder. “Take Jayne and go. Neither of you deserve
what I’ve put you through.”
    “This
is a waste of time. Fuck it, I’ll kill you both and the girl,” spat the man. He
lifted his gun higher and pressed the trigger.
    Keith
had seen the man’s hand move first. He knew that this wasn’t going to end well.
In a flash he fired the gun and dropped to the ground, pulling Tom down with
him as the man’s gun shot up in the air as a bullet ripped through his chest.
    “Oh my god! Keith? Tom?”
yelled Jayne from inside the cabin. “Help?” she screamed.
    ****
    “What
happened?” Jayne asked as Tom freed her from her restraints. She was extremely
shaken. It took some help to get her to a standing position. She ached all over
from head to toe. “Is he gone?”
    “He’s
dead. I killed him,” Keith answered. “I didn’t have a choice.”
    “We’ll
call the police and explain what happened,” Jayne replied. “They’ll take care
of it.”
    That
was the last thing Tom needed to deal with. The police most certainly would not
understand, and he was likely to end up in jail. He wasn’t going to jail. Not
in this lifetime.
    “No
police.” Keith tucked the gun back into the waist of his jeans. “Get the money,
Tom. We have to get out of here pronto.”
    “But…”
Jayne continued.
    “But nothing. There are
things you don’t know about. When we get back to my place we’ll fill you in on
everything, and I think it’s best that it comes
directly from Tom.”
    “What
about him?” Tom asked.
    “We’ll
leave him here. It may be months before anyone finds him.” Keith started to
walk out of the cabin. “It’s late…I’m tired, and I want to go home.”

    Jayne
stood in Keith’s kitchen with a cup of coffee firmly planted in her hand as she
listened to Tom as he told his story. Her initial reaction was to freak out at
him and demand that he never come near her again. She didn’t do any such thing
of course. She considered him a friend and possibly a little more. “I don’t
know what to say. I mean, we make mistakes and some are bigger than others.”
This was her way of justifying what had gone on earlier that night.
    “I’m
going to leave Pine Bluff,” Tom said. “I think it’s best.”
    “None
of us are doing anything yet,” Keith interrupted. “No one knows anything about
tonight other than the three of us. If you rocket out of town it might make
people suspicious.”
    “I
have to head back to the city anyway. The book’s almost completed, and my time
here is coming to an end,” Jayne explained. “That was the reason I came up
here, and my work is practically done.”
    Jayne
placed her empty cup on the kitchen countertop. Things were coming to an end.
She felt half-crazy considering what she’d been put through. “Keith, would you
take me home?”
    “Sure,”
he replied.
    “And
would you both stay with me tonight? I can’t fathom being alone.”
    Both
men nodded.

Chapter Fourteen
     
    The
hot steam from the shower only helped to heighten Jayne’s senses as she felt
her body being pressed between Keith and Tom. When she’d asked them to stay the
night with her, secretly she hoped to find herself in bed with them again. She
felt safe with them and secure. They’d saved her and even though it had been
Tom who had brought this upon her and Keith, she’d found it in her heart to
forgive him.
    Jayne
pushed back against Tom’s cock as she felt his hardness press between her
buttocks. With him massaging her shoulders under the spray from the shower and
Keith kissing her as he slid his hand down between her legs, she felt like she
was taken to another world.
    “Oh,
god,” she cried out as she felt Tom enter her from behind. She bent
