Seb smiled and patted Sutton’s shoulder, “Well weappreciate your cautiousness, Officer. One can’t be too careful. You’re right.”
“Now that I know your house is cleared and safe,”Sutton said loudly. “I’ll be on my way.”
From the doorway, as if on cue when Sutton said“cleared and safe,” a beautiful face peered in, along with her full thick long darkhair, which I longed to wrap my hands around and get my face lost in.
Kaley.
My heart always skips a beat when I see her. Man, Ilove her.
“Hi guys!” Kaley said in her sweet melodic but sultryvoice I couldn’t get enough of.
All of us boys turned towards her, including Sutton.Our eyes drank her up like she was a refreshing ice cold glass of sweetlemonade.
She was still wearing that sexy red sweater dress thatclung to every part of her like a second skin. Fuck. She was like a candylollipop I couldn’t wait to unwrap.
“Kaley,” I let out, my voice a bit gruff from thehorniness I was feeling. “Where did you go? We were so worried.”
“My fault, guys,” Sutton said walking over to Kaley toput his arms around her waist. “I saw her at Majestic Café last night, andwell, you know we were lovers, so one thing led to another and…”
“Sutton!” Kaley exclaimed, patting his hands off herwaist.
“Well, Darling,” Sutton said, possessively like astupid numbskull Neanderthal, “You know how I get when I see you with othermen.”
It was clear Officer Sutton was laying claim on Kaleyin front of us. Only Kaley didn’t seem to completely agree.
Seb and Thomas felt the same I did about Suttonstaking his claim on our Kaley. They stepped forward towards Kaley the sametime I did.
“Glad you’re back,” Thomas said. “Like Ash said, wewere worried about you. You just vanished like that. Took off.”
“If you were so worried,” Officer Sutton said with acrooked wry smile that I wanted to swipe off his too handsome face. He wasalmost as good-looking as me or even Seb and Thomas; one might think he wouldbe the fourth Keystone brother. Damn that.
No wonder Kaley would find him attractive enough tosuck face with.
“Believe me,” Thomas said, looking at Kaley with anunwavering look of desire and possessiveness. Thomas was staking his claim onKaley now with his cocksureness. “We looked everywhere for her, but then we gota call from our security company that our house alarm went off. We had to goback to check. For some reason, we couldn’t turn it off from afar.”
“Crazy how that can happen,” Sutton said with a grin.He almost looked like he was chuckling about some inside joke too.
Wait. Hold on. Did that joker have something to dowith the alarm going off? Did he also have something to do with the internetconnection going haywire at the same time so we had to go back to check? Itwould fit into the timing of Kaley going off with him.
Only when we arrived home, and before we turned on thelights to the manor, we were ambushed by Langley and his men. Did this oaf havesomething to do with that?
My eyes zoned in on the well-built tall man, wholooked like he spent more time in the gym working out than he did sitting in apolice car, getting fat eating donuts and drinking sugary drinks all day. Blondhair, blue eyes with high cheekbones, a cleft square chin, aristocratic nose,and full lips; he could be a model in New York if he tried. So what was a guywho didn’t look like a cop doing being one in a small town like Majestic?
Besides the obvious, which every hot-blooded man couldsee, what did Sutton want with our Kaley? Why our Kaley who everyone knows, Imean everyone in Majestic knows, is ours. Mine. She was ours to the point shewas a Keystone. At least I planned on making her my Keystone one day.
And what did Sutton have against us Keystones? Whatwas with the suspicions? What with the talk about us being troublemakers? Whywould a cop think that we were the troublemakers when the only time cops evercame to our house was because we called them for help. When did the peoplecalling them for help thought of as the troublemakers?
And his hands…he couldn’t stop touching our Kaley. Herwaist, her hips, even her butt.
Seb was already on the other side of Kaley, pullingher into the house while Thomas closed and locked the door shut.
Yeah. Good move. If Langley decided to head back here,at least we could lock him out for a while.
Seb had managed to get Kaley away from Sutton as heguided her towards the sofa to have her sit down. “How are you, Kaley,” hesaid, looking her over. “Are you okay? Not hurt?”
Kaley shook her head. “I’m fine. No, guys,” she said.“I should be the one apologizing. I should have contacted you. Let you knowwhere I was. Only I didn’t have my phone and purse with me.”
Seb, Thomas, and I stared at Sutton. That was no wayto treat a lady. And knowing Kaley, she would never leave her phone behind.Sutton had forced her to go with him, against her will. It was becoming clearernow.
No real cop would do that.
Again, despite having Kaley look like she was fine,who was Sutton really, and what did he want with Kaley?
Chapter 4
Kaley
I’ve never been so happy to see my boys again. Seb,Thomas, and Ash were alive and well. Not beaten up, bloodied, or dead like Ifeared.
I wanted to hug and kiss each one of them so tightlybut Sutton was there, and there was that provision in the will.
I looked at Sutton who was standing with his hands onhis hips by the door. He looked pissed that I was sitting on the sofa,surrounded by the Keystone brothers, who were fawning over me, seeing if I washurt anywhere.
It was obvious they didn’t trust Sutton, and theydidn’t buy that bit from Sutton about us being lovers, and one
