Chapter Fifteen: Angry Sex

   Chapter Fifteen: Angry Sex

Jared’s plane landed two long days later. Sam had been dodging the media left and right. She had given up on leaving her estate at all after the first day. The crowds standing outside their gates were horrendous. She had her picture snapped more now, then she had ever had in her entire life. The moment she received Jared’s text, she left the house via the employee’s entrance and in a borrowed car. She was not taking any chances. She refused to bring another friend into her madness.

Once she saw Jared, she ran for him. Sam embraced her best guy friend and frowned; he was much thinner than he had been when she left school.

“Jared, are you okay, sweetie? You are much thinner than I remember,” she asked.

“Oh, you know me, doll. I am always on the go, and I never eat when I am supposed to,” he answered with a strained smile.

Sam looked into his eyes and saw something there, something that was hidden. Her heart sank that her friend felt he could not confide in her. However, she was very happy to have him back, and let her emotions go, for the time being.

“Let’s go to the club and see how far they’ve gotten,” Jared stated.

A few days passed, and Jack was going out of his mind with want and worry. He had seen the news with Sam walking from a store, camera’s flashing over her gorgeous face. She looked so lost and far away from him. His heart raced at the sight of her.

He continued to look at her father’s file and felt compelled at the idea that he had not killed his wife, and that he had confessed for some unknown reason. He tried to find a way to speak with Mister Cooper, but with him not being the lead detective and the DA handling the case, he had no right to talk with him. He did, however, call the lead detective and showed him the evidence he found.

He went back to his regular routine and was bored out of his skull. His life seemed colorless and numb. A woman he had dated previously called him and asked for dinner and made the invitation of sex clear. He felt a sudden revulsion at the idea of having sex with her, or any other woman, for that matter; he craved only one woman. A female with long dark hair, and a smile that could set him hard in seconds flat, a woman who wanted nothing to do with him.

He missed her and he wanted to see her, even to just discuss what he found in her father’s file.

He decided he would text her and ask if he could meet her at her home. He did not want to risk going into public with this information.

Sam was getting her gear ready for tonight’s show when she received a text from Jack. Curious she looked at her phone and felt her mouth drop open.

  Sam I need to see you; I have further information about your father’s case. May I come over to your house this evening, perhaps a little late so the media will not be there?

Sam felt her mouth drop open and her sensitive tummy tumble. He wanted to discuss her father? Tonight, opening night? Oh my, God! He must have some important news, but she could not bail on Jared after days upon days of practicing and getting her new look together.

Desperate for an answer, she walked the length of her bedroom, tapping her phone on her chin.

What to do? What to do?

Then inspiration struck! She would do the show and simply hightail it back home and meet Jack here later, as he requested.

You found something that may help my dad? That is wonderful, you can come by here around midnight, and we can discuss this then.
