So far I was just making assumptions. I heard a door close and then Jen spoke lowly and rapidly. “I’m so sick of this crap. The team was put toget...er to assess and expand the company’s ability to respond to a cyberattack. It was to focus on rapidly identifying and neutralizing a new threat. You were invited onto the team to provide a target. You’d be let loose inside the firewall and the team would track and neutralize any attempt you made to access data. Whatever Arnie hired you to do. "Qi shook his head as he tried to figure out if she was giving him a compliment or a slight. Ree, as her family called her, was a confusing situation for him. First, she was a dead ringer for the Farendass woman, which she did explain as sharing the same father. Second, she was a bad-ass bodyguard to Benni. Qi had witnessed her nail a man to the wall with his feet dangling off of the ground and his tongue dangling out of his mouth as he was being strangled. The man had been fast, but Ree was. Now, will you come to bed with me? Sleep naked with me, baby. I promise, no sex. I just need some intimacy with you, baby … need skin-to-skin contact with my beautiful wife.”She nods her head and I lift her off my lap and carry her into the bedroom. I set her down by the bed, and softly kiss her tear-streaked face. Reaching down, I slowly lift her t-shirt over her head, revealing her breathtaking body. I haven't seen her completely naked in so long, I forgot how truly breathtaking her body is. This had to be a classy night. We were all three dressed for the occasion—Julian and I in black sports suits, Jane wearing a dark blue cocktail dress that clung tightly to her thighs. Her gorgeous, golden hair was flared out, makeup pristine, and she smelled amazing too. When we first met up with Julian, he put the question of where we would start our night to me. I said we’d go to the bar-b-cue joint that he had told me about in text messages, and with that we hit the streets, weaving our way.
