Shattered Girl (Emmy)

Chapter 162

"Someone has been threatening me." I had been dreading saying anything to the guys since the messages had started showing up on my phone almost a week ago. I had called our lawyer, unsure of who else to turn to. He had some people

working on it, but he still wanted to tell the guys what was happening and begged him to let me tell them. I had been stalling because I knew they would all lose their shit when I showed them the messages, and I still didn't want to believe that, with everything that had taken place over the past few months, something else bad was once again happening to me.

I looked up at Jake and bit my lip because Jake's whole expression seemed frozen except for a single muscle ticking in his cheek. His gaze held me in place, and there was no way I could miss the way his knuckles whitened on the mug. "The lawyer has some of his people looking into my father's associates; one of them must think I know something that could hurt them or their business."

Jake sighed deeply before carefully taking the nearly empty coffee mug from my hands and setting it on the nightstand beside his. He then engulfed me in a crushing hug. " Fuck, Emmy, you should have said something to us sooner; why are you trying to do this on your own?"

"Because I want to protect you, all..."

I swore I could feel his sigh even if he didn't let one out. He pulled back long enough to cup my face. "Tell me the rest of it. What do you need?"

Oh no, I was going to cry. "I know I need to tell everyone; I was just hoping it would stop on its own."

Jake blew out a breath. "You want me to smooth the way?"

"I was hoping you would stand in front of me when they all got mad at me for not telling them in the first place."

Jake stroked my hair. "I don't like it. But I get it."

and he nudged my legs apart. I shuddered at the first brush of his dick. He claimed him with one thrust, not giving me time for the stretch. It didn't hurt, but I swear I could feel him to my bones. He began to rock into me at a furious, almost punishing pace. I wanted more as he slid his hand between us, teasing my clit.
