Free Enforcer: A Bad Boy Romance by Olivia Jones Page B

would have ever expected. Locke did most of the work dragging the body. Now I understood the need for plastic sheeting. Without it, we would've had a blood trail leading all the way from the living room to the backyard.
     
    After some back-breaking work, all four bodies were lined up next to each other outside. “We're not digging with our hands are we?” I asked, wiping the sweat from my brow.
     
    Locke picked up a shovel. “I'll dig. I need you back inside cleaning the blood off the floors. There's some cleaning supplies underneath the kitchen sink.” The thought of all that blood made me a little woozy but it beat digging in the heat next to the worst smell I'd ever experienced.
     
    “What chemicals will get blood out?”
     
    “Doesn't matter. We just need the place to look clean.”
     
    I understood. We didn't want to give anyone a reason to look in the first place. I went inside and to the kitchen. There wasn't much in the way of cleaning supplies. Just some surface cleaner and some dirty rags.
     
    I worked on the two blood stains while watching Locke dig outside with his shirt off. Sweat dripped off his inked chest. I wanted to feel his warm naked skin against mine. I couldn't even go an hour after sex without desiring him again. Maybe a few times a day wouldn't be enough?
     
    I finished cleaning and went out to check on Locke's progress. The hole in the dirt wasn't very big but he had twisted and crammed the four bodies into it. Once it was covered, there was only one thing left to do.
     
    We stood at the edge of the lake and watched as the O'Malley's white SUV sank into the water front first. I held Locke's hand and closed my eyes, feeling the sun on my face.
     
    It was all over.
     
    Locke turned to me and held my hand. “I love you, Alice.”
     
    My heartbeat spiked. Was this really happening right now? The crazy thing was that I loved him too. “I love you too, Locke.”
     
    Locke smiled and kissed me. I melted right away in his arms. Things were moving so quickly but I couldn't help the way I felt. This man was the one for me and there was nothing I could do to change that.
     
    “What do we do now?” I asked.
     
    “Go back to my place?” Locke suggested, slipping a hand down the back of my jeans.
     
    “I don't know if I can wait that long,” I replied, leaning over and unzipping his jeans.
     
    “Baby, you're the best,” he moaned as I put his entire length into my mouth.

Chapter Ten

Locke
     
One Month Later

When I killed the O'Malley brothers, I didn't realize that I'd be out of a job. I never held a real job my entire life. Being an enforcer was all I knew. Alice wanted me to take over the O'Malley family since their was nobody to take charge anymore. The thought had crossed my mind but ruling an empire was never an ambition of mine. I didn't have the brains for it. The only thing I was good at was beating the living shit out of people.
     
    Alice decided to go back to school to finish her degree. She had overcome so much and now was the time for her to regain her old life. She still got cravings for heroin but I was always there to keep her focused on what mattered. Alice started going to an addicts anonymous that seemed to being helping too.
     
    I wanted her to feel normal again but I couldn't tell if I was holding her back. I was apart of this dark life that she was trying to get past. She still hadn't contacted her parents. They still believed she was missing or dead. I tried to talk her into calling them but she told me she didn't know what to say to them.
     
    It was almost noon when I decided to drag myself out of bed. Alice had woken me up at the crack of dawn to ride my morning wood until I came inside her. I didn't even have to move. She did all the work until I found my release. I didn't even bother getting up to clean myself up. Alice kissed me on the lips softly and let me fall back to sleep. A guy could get used to being woken up like that every morning.
