continued stroking with one hand while reaching down with the other to gently tug on his balls. Chase pictured Kerri laid out for him like a buffet in the tub. She looked beautiful when she was aroused. The way she came around his finger with only the barest of touches almost had him coming in his pants right there on the side of the tub. She was so responsive, and he wanted more. He wanted to ram his cock into her and feel her squeeze him tight when she came. That thought set off his orgasm. Chase had to place one hand on the shower wall to keep from falling when his knees went weak. He watched as jets of pearly fluid landed on the bottom of the shower and circled the drain. When Chase felt his strength return, he quickly washed himself and got dressed. He needed to check security before helping Riley make dinner.

Dinner was great. Kerri was impressed that Chase and Riley cooked so well. Ali had explained that their mom had taught all the boys and her how to cook when they were smaller. Now, they all took turns cooking and cleaning the kitchen. Kerri also liked how Chase’s family was so close to each other. She’d never had that growing up with just her and her dad and loved how they all felt comfortable enough to tease and joke with each other. She could tell that it was all in good fun but knew that if anyone else outside of their circle teased, they would all be ready to jump in and protect. This was what Kerri wanted. She didn’t want to go through life looking over her shoulder anymore. She had been given nothing but time to think over the last three days, and she spent it contemplating her life. There is nothing like being kidnapped to put your priorities into perspective, she thought.Kerri came to the conclusion that she wanted what Chase had. Although she was only twenty-four and was still considered too young, she was ready to settle down. She decided that she no longer wanted to continue training to run her father’s company in the future. For as long as she could remember, her father had been grooming her to take over MacGregor Inc. At first, it was what she wanted, too. Kerri even went to college and majored in business for the single purpose of running the company. It was what her father wanted, and it was what she had wanted as well. Now, Chase was her future. She would rather stay at home and be surrounded by friends and family and hear the laughter of her children in the house. Kerri was aware that there was an eight-year age difference between her and Chase, but she didn’t care. She wanted all these things and preferred to have them with him. If it didn’t work out between them, then she would still find happiness with someone. In order to find happiness and peace, Kerri was going to have to take matters into her own hands. Just sitting around waiting wasn’t working, and she wasn’t used to letting someone else handle her problems. She had a feeling that this guy was out there right now trying to find a way to get her back. Maybe if she made it easier for him then he would make his move sooner rather than later, and they could end this. Kerri felt her spirits lift as she began to form a plan in her mind. She was falling hard for Chase and knew that they couldn’t move forward with their relationship with this threat hanging over her head. She hoped that Chase felt the same way about her. Judging from what happened earlier in the bathroom, she had a good feeling that he did. Any man that would forgo his own pleasure in order to make sure she got hers had to care about her at least a little, right? That being said, Kerri knew that she had her work cut out for her. The hardest part of her plan was going to be convincing Chase to go along with it. She knew that it was going to take a lot of smooth talking on her part to change his mind. The waiting around and being on constant alert was getting to him and his team. Kerri was going to use that to her advantage to try and persuade them to
