FORSAKEN: THE SYSTEMIC SERIES (27 page)

Jake thought about it for another minute.  “Go south,” he said softly, thinking aloud.  He tilted his head back in the chair and looked at the ceiling.  “Might be a good idea,” he pondered.

“You have to make a decision though…and fast,” Ava urged.  “I don’t want to be here when the Three Families get regrouped and come at us again…and they
will
.  It’s only a matter of time.  What we just went through…that was only their first attempt.  They’re bound to get more organized and bring more firepower next time.  They won’t be defeated again.”

“Let me
think
for a minute,” Jake frowned.

Ava slid off his lap and down onto her knees before him.  “You do that,” she said quietly.  “You think…and relax…” she looked up at him subserviently while undoing his belt and unzipping his pants, willing to play the submissive sex object to achieve her objectives.

And Jake was content to let her do just that.  He kept his head rested against the back of the office chair, his eyes half closed, his mouth slightly open as he stared at the ceiling while letting Ava work her magical mouth up around and over him.

Ten minutes later, Jake was up and barking orders as his remaining men busily packed up the trucks and armored vehicles with the supplies necessary to lay down roots in Florida.
