Although I should have just asked you to show me how.”She leaned forward and gave me another kiss. If that was the response I got for looking over her shoulder, I might just be doing that more in the future. “I’m so glad you did. And I’m so glad it helped.”
“It did. It’s just too bad that we don’t have access to his tablet going forward. Ed sent Bae a text message to inform him that tonight had been Mike’s last night.” My hands fisted. “The whole kidnapping had been planned since the day you started there. Mike told Ed after you were hired that he had accepted a job offer from a club out East, but that he wanted his departure to be kept a secret until the end of last night’s performance. But no one knows which club he went to.”
Her grin turned into a smirk as her eyes lit up.
“What did you do, blueberry?”
“Well”—she twisted her hair around her finger—“I may have added a cloning device to the DICC that turns on a background Wi-Fi so that we will have access to everything new that comes in the moment it does.”
“You did what?” I wanted to pull her from Bae’s arms, but now wasn’t the time. If this was going to work, sharing her, I needed to give up my possessive tendencies and let my friends have time holding her as well. So I settled for a kiss to her nose and a peck to her lips. “That’s so awesome. And if that’s the case, then we also have access to Ed’s stuff since Mike’s tablet told us where to find Ed’s computer.”
“That’s awesome. Now you’ll be able to trace the money and discover where it comes from before it’s funnelled to Mastermind.”
“And it’s all because of you, tabby. Without you, our mission would have been at a standstill.” Bae pulled her in for a deep kiss. And as I continued to watch her tongue playing with his, my cock grew harder. We’d planned to double team after her last dance, and I’d been planning on a quickie before that. But all that horniness evaporated the moment I realized she was gone. And now that she was back, able to be touched, kissed, stroked, it all returned.
“Too bad we don’t have anything on the asshole who grabbed you though.” Kasim dropped her foot to rub his hand over his fist.
She pulled away from Bae’s lips, ending their kiss. “But we do.”
Kasim pulled her from Bae, dragging her across my lap and over my erection. “What do you mean?”
She reached across me to take hold of Bae’s hand while taking mine in her other hand. “I may have used a mini DICC on his laptop that he took with him when he rushed out of the house when the attack first started.”
“You did what?”
“A mini DICC?”
The questions Bae and I shouted went unanswered as Kasim occupied her lips. When he pulled back, resting his forehead on hers, I heard him say, “Now that’s my pretty pussy.”
And I had to agree, my blueberry was full of surprises.

Tabitha
After my rescue, life became busier, but at least I no longer had to strip in front of strangers. Days were spent poring over the information that flowed in from the three different computers, enough that most of the information was turned over to FUC to be assigned to other agents.
On top of that, I had to return to classes, but instead of all the tech classes, Director Cooper rearranged my schedule to include all the agent courses. I was far behind in the theory classes, but Bae, Arin, and Kasim all took turns helping me to study. We gave up the hotel suite since we didn’t need it for cover any more, and initially I’d been sad, worried that I wouldn’t see them again or at least not much. But that didn’t happen. While I still had my room, I didn’t use it much. Most nights were spent at the Den. It wasn’t following the rules, but even though I was sure Director Cooper knew—nothing ever seemed to get past her knowledge—nothing was ever said about it.
So while my life was going better than I ever thought possible, I wasn’t completely relaxed. That promised conversation never happened, and even though the four of us often spent time together, nothing was ever said about the dynamic between us. I continued to see other female students flirt with them since we kept whatever it was between us low-key, yet I never saw them returning the flirtatious gesture. Even Arin, who’d been one to flirt with other girls right in front of me, became more like Kasim, sending off a “don’t come near me” vibe.
Kasim entered the library where I studied at a table near the main doors. “Tabitha, I’ve been looking all over for you.” He held out his hand after gathering up my books. “Come with me. Your presence has been requested.”
I put my hand in his, relishing the momentary touch. My own personal catnip took effect, calming my racing heart, and my muscles turned to mush. “It has? By who?”
He shook his head but smiled. Whomever had sent him had picked the perfect escort to maintain the secret. While Kasim was putty in my hands for most things, when he wanted to, his mouth was shut tighter than a clam.
Not having a choice, and not really wanting one if it gave me time alone with him, I followed.
He led me deeper into the woods, taking me down a path that was forbidden for students. There were many dangerous creatures held at FUCN’A and many paths that were restricted. A sliver of fear took hold of me even though I knew nothing could harm me if I was with Kasim.
The sound of rushing water, of it falling over rocks, grew louder, drowning out the sounds of the forest around us. He pushed aside a canopy of tree branches that hid
