Free Out Of The Past by Geri Foster Page B

change. Also, Frank now knew Zoe was safe with him and Brody.
    But how did he stop Campbell?
    Kidnapping him wasn’t out of the question, but if they were caught, all hell would break loose. And Frank took a dim view of breaking the law.
    “I can see your brain working,” Zoe said, sitting next to him. “Come up with anything yet?”
    “Not a damn thing.”
    She put her arm around his waist. “I think we’ve both been through too much today. We need to relax and enjoy the evening.”
    He looked into her sparkling champagne eyes, and she offered him a guarded smile. Totally captivated by her beauty, A.J. took her hand and led her to the bed. “That sounds like a good idea.”
    He gently laid her down then followed. Facing each other, A.J. unbuttoned her shirt while she unzipped his pants. She propped her head on her hand, and the fire in her eyes sent a blowtorch surging through his veins.
    He pushed up on an elbow until their mouths met. Her warm breath against his lips made him dizzy.
    Then she was naked beneath him, and he lowered himself to that cute little patch of blonde hair at the triangle in her legs.
    Sucking in a calming breath, he licked her thighs and allowed his tongue to roam freely over her body. He widened her legs and stroked her tight curls before tasting her with his tongue.
    She called out his name and pulled at his hair. That signaled she wanted more. Much more. And he would gladly accommodate. In the midst of danger, all he’d thought about was keeping her safe. Now he wanted to make her happy.
    With her hand at the back of his head, A.J. licked and sucked at her sensitive nub, his heart racing.
    Head buried between her legs, he slid his thumb along her wet, hot cleft, lingering to spread her damp juice along the opening.
    Her soft cries brought him to his knees, where he entered her in a rush that sucked the air from his lungs.
    So tight.
    Tight, wet, and seeking fulfillment. His dick jerked inside her, and she squeezed her muscles to keep him enclosed. She moaned and A.J. nearly lost to the call of pleasure.
    While he pumped, her powerful muscles drained him.
    Then they climaxed.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN
    Z oe woke with her head pillowed on A.J.’s chest, her body entwined with his. She lay there quietly wondering what today would bring. Could they find a way to stop Campbell from getting a ruthless murderer off free?
    In her heart, saving Frank was her first priority. She owed him that much. Hadn’t he once saved her and made her life worth living? He’d been there every step of her rehab, and then he’d offered her his home and asked her to work for him. She’d have been dead if left in that dark place before he found her.
    A.J. stirred beside her. With a smile on his face, he kissed her passionately and thoughts of last night raced through her mind. They’d made love until they both were exhausted. Sleep hadn’t come until early in the morning.
    “I’m hungry,” he said with a cocky smile. “And you look pretty tasty.”
    She laughed and tossed aside the covers. “We’ve work to do today. We need to check your shoulder, too. Then we stop Campbell. When this is all over and Frank has testified, we’re taking a vacation.”
    “Okay, call Brody and tell him to meet us downstairs for breakfast. Over coffee, we’ll map out our plans.”
    She didn’t have to make that call because Brody knocked just as A.J. slid on his pants. She giggled then darted into the bathroom, carrying her clothes with her.
    She heard Brody and A.J. talking. When she joined them, they went to the restaurant and ate breakfast. Brody seemed tense and uncomfortable.
    Zoe cupped his hand. “What’s on your mind?”
    “How we’re going to have to use you to get next to Campbell.”
    A.J. almost jumped from his seat. “Are you crazy? Frank will have our heads.” He glared at Brody, his face dark and stormy. “I don’t want her in danger, either.”
    Zoe held up her hand. “You both need to realize I’m not a
