Chapter 14

Hoss made multiple phone calls but no one was able to get ahold of Hobbs himself. Wherever he was, he was not able to receive any calls.

After about an hour, I was able to get Samantha to sleep in lobby on the sixth floor where my unit was given as our headquarters.

My Sarge arrived just before Samantha fell asleep. Hoss and he were talking when I walked up to them both.

Sarge looked up at me and sighed. "Are you sure they wanted the girl? Did you happen to recognize them? Anything that could be of use?" he asked me. I felt like I was being interrogated but he only meant well.

"No Sarge, all I could tell you is the one guy that I left in the alley way had a British accent. They told me that they wanted to girl. That's it. I don't even know how they knew where to find her." I said trying to figure the events from the night.

"Someone had to be watching you both. We can't get ahold of Hobbs and I went back to the alleyway and the guy you left… he was gone before I got there. So I'm at a loss right now. That little girl was lucky she was with you… problem is now they'll have another target… You!" Sarge said.

"I'm not worried about being a target. It wouldn't be the first time… I promised Hobbs that she would be safe with me." I told them both.

"Sarge I think it would be best if Lioness and Hobb's daughter stayed with me for the night, till Hobbs gets back." Hoss said. I looked at Hoss giving a small smile, thanking him without words.

Sarge put his hands on his hips and walked to the window. "That might be for the best. I'll tell Hobbs where his daughter is when he calls." He paused then faced me directly.

"Once he gets back, you and I are going to have a little chat. Commands going to track this guy down and you're going with the team that is sent. Understand me? " he said to me bluntly.

I could not argue, because understood his reasoning. Hobbs would be able to go because he would seek revenge but I he believed that I would be able to bring the guy or guys back for questioning.

"Understood Sarge!" I said.

I walked back to Samantha who was still asleep. I slightly woke her up.

"Hey, we have to get going. Your dad will be home soon but until then we're going to stay with a friend. Okay?" I said to her.

She looked like she had tears forming in her eyes.

"Are they going to come back for me?" she asked me was I watched her eyes flood with tears.

I pulled her into a hug and just let her cry.

"Don't you worry sweetie. Allyson going to watch out for you." I heard Hoss said behind me. Samantha smiled through her tears.

We all walked out of the building and headed for Hoss' house.

He had a small house just outside the city. He let Samantha say in his bedroom that was close to the living room where Hoss and I were at.

"You alright?" he asked me, noticing how I constantly looked towards the bedroom.

"I'll be alright after I find this guy." I said to him.

"You're smart, you'll get that bastard." Hoss said to me standing in front of me. He placed his hands on my shoulders.

"You want some coffee? I doubt you'll be sleeping tonight." Hoss said to me as I nodded. He was right; there was no way I was going to sleep till Hobbs got back.

After an hour or so passed, it was about two in the morning when Hoss and I heard a knock on the door then at the same time Hoss' phone began to ring. It was Sarge on the phone. Hoss answered the phone while I went to the door.

"Hello" Hoss said in the phone. "Hobbs is on his way." Sarge said over the phone.

I opened the door and there stood Hobbs and he did not seem happy.

"Hobbs!" I said as he pushed pasted me.

"Where is she?" he demanded.

"She's in the bedroom sleeping." I told him as he matched in the bedroom.

I looked over at Hoss as he hung up the phone with Sarge.

It wasn't even twenty seconds and they both came out from the bedroom.

"Samantha, wait by the door for me." Hobbs told his daughter and she did just that rubbing her sleepy eyes.

Hobbs eyes were focused on me. He must have just gotten back, he still have his task force attire on.

"Luke I'm so sorry, I didn't know someone was watching us." I told him but I don't think anything I was going to say was going to make the situation better. He loved his daughter so much. I wonder if he knew that someone was tracking his daughter.

"Explain something to me Slayten, how could you not have sensed that someone was watching you? I thought you were trained to figure those things out. You let your damn guard down. It's was your job to protect my daughter. I entrusted her to you. " he shouted at me.

I stood frozen. He was actually blaming me for this but before I could speak Hoss spoke up.

"You can't be honestly blaming Allyson for this?!" Hoss said to Hobbs as he got closer to the two of us. Hobbs glared at Hoss.

"Damn right I am. That's my daughter life; I'll blame whoever the hell I want to Hoss." Hobbs said.

"They weren't after me, they wanted Samantha. I got her out, I protected her. I held true to my promise." I paused as I could feel the tension in the room grow.

"I expected better from you Slayten. You've grown weak, worthless." He spat out at me.

"Please I know you're mad but let me explain what…" I began to say before I felt Hobbs back hand me across the face. The force of his hit caught me off guard and caused me to catch myself against the back of the couch.

Samantha screamed and instantly Hoss rushed Hobbs and slammed him against the wall sending a statement to Hobbs. I thought for sure Hobbs was going to fight back but he just stayed where he was as if in shock at what he just did.

"If you ever put your hands on her again, I will kill you. Do you understand me! Take your anger out on the assholes that tried to kidnap your daughter, not the person who risked her life to protect her." Hoss told Hobbs forcefully. I had never actually realized the comparison Hobbs and Hoss had in built stature.

Hoss released Hobbs and without anyone else saying anything else, Hobbs and Samantha stormed off.

I still stood in shock as Hoss came up to me. His eyes looked over my face, watching the red mark forming over my scared face.

"Let's get you some ice for that face and a shot of whiskey." Hoss told me walking me over to the kitchen bar stool.

He poured the two whiskey shots and handed me a bag of frozen peas.

I down the shot and cover my face with the bag. I still could not believe that Hobbs of all people would hit me. I knew he was mad but he took it out on me. Did I truly let me guard down? Was I slipping? All these things ran through my mind.

I could feel Hoss' eyes on me.

"I know what you're thinking. Don't! it's not your fault. It could have happened to anyone." He told me as I stared at the shot glass.

"Yeah… how about another shot?" I asked. I could see his hesitation but he poured us both another. Throwing it back, I could feel the warmth run down my throat.

I stood up from the stool and walked over to the bathroom mirror, Hoss' eyes never leaving me.

Touching my face softly, I sighed feeling the effects from the whiskey now.

"You really are beautiful Allyson. Even with the scar… no man should ever hit a woman." I heard Hoss say. I looked to the side where the door was and there he stood, watching me.

"That wasn't the Hobbs I knew." I said still defending me for some reason.

Hoss walked up behind me and we looked at each other through the mirror. He ran his hands down my shoulders to my wrists. Warm lips found my neck. I should have stopped him just then but I couldn't. Perhaps the whiskey was clouding my judgement as well as his but I could not tell just then. I felt safe, needed and wanted.

His hands turned my hips so that our bodies were now facing each other.

Gently he explored my face with his fingers as a blind man might, as if he had never seen it before and might never again. "I fear you've put a spell on me. You are so beautiful." Hoss said to me lowering his hands to my hips.

I grasped the edges of his shirtfront and, with one fierce yank, tore it in half.

His hand fell from my hips. I was no more gentle as I pulled away the rest of his shirt.

His hands found the bottom of my shirt as he pulled my shirt over my head quickly. Hoss pulled me against him, pressing his bared chest against my bare breasts that he'd just exposed. His heart beat next to mine, to the same frenetic rhythm. He grasped the back of my head and crushed my mouth to his, and drove out anger, pride, and thought in that long, devouring kiss.

Our hands became tangled, tearing at his trouser buttons. He pushed my legs apart with his knee. I could feel the hard shaft throbbing hotly against my thigh while my own heat pulsed against his questing hand.

"Give me this, Allyson." HIs voice was a coaxing rumble, the gentleness a thin mask over hard command. I reached for his hardened shaft and slid him inside me. I gasp briefly as he fully entered.

Each time he rocked into me was a little rougher as his patience unraveled. "Tell me you need me Allyson. Tell me I'm what you need right now."

"You know it is." I barely recognized my own voice, low and strained. Every muscle trembled, as much with tension as with bliss, a heavy anticipation that tangled me in knots.

He rewarded my confession with a long thrust that drove a cry from my throat. My head arched back, eyes closed as I felt every thrust.

"Look at me," he growled; thrusting deep, so deep I knew tomorrow I was going to ache. An ache I savored. An ache, when it started to fade, I craved having back.

"Look at me Ally." he bit out and, I opened my eyes and looked at him. I began to tease as my climax began to rise. He could feel it as I let out a few moans.

"That's it baby, come for me… come with me." He said to me thrusting harder against me a few more times as my body hit its climax and his to follow.

He tightened his hold against me as our breaths became heavy. He pulled himself out of me and ran his hands down my face. Hoping that I did not regret what just happened. I could see it in his eyes.

I didn't regret it. I needed it. I wanted it.

I leaned up and kissed him one more time, reassuring him. I then stepped to the side and turned on his shower.

He cleaned himself off and grabbed me a towel for after the shower. He soon after, walked back to his living room and waited for me to finish.

I let the water run down my face first, trying to forget Hobbs raging face. The strange thing was that I never let a tear pass my eyes. I was numb because of him.

I finished my shower and wrapped the towel around me. I ran my hands through my hair before I walked out. Standing just past the bathroom door, I had seen Hoss watching some old black and white movie.

"Mind if I borrow a tshirt?" I asked him, turning his body enough to see me. He smirked.

"Or you could just go naked." He said to me teasing me.

I smirked back pulling the towel off my body and dropping it to the ground.

"Like this?" I said to him still feeling the effects of the alcohol in my system.

Hoss jumped off the couch and gentle made contact with my body. He took a few steps forward, causing me to step back until I felt the wall against my bare back. He pressed his clothed body against me.

"Don't tease me Ally. You are my kryptonate right now." He said to me, inches from my face.

I lowered my hand over his pants and slid my hand up and down. I felt his shaft grow quickly.

Hoss rested his forehead against mine, closing his eyes for a moment to gather himself.

"Ally… you don't know what you do to me." He told me picking me from the ground causing me to wrap my arms around his neck as he walked to his bedroom.

He lowered me to the bed and began running his soft lips over the side of my neck.

The night was not over for the two of us!
