“I quit.” She let her resignation float down to him.
He read what she’d written and his face turned red. “You can’t do this.”
“I’ve already turned over the evidence to the police. The chief knows you told me to sit on the Harman Security story. I wouldn’t be surprised if the cops came in here and arrested your sorry ass for obstruction of justice.” They never would since Walt would deny he knew anything about the story, but she liked saying it.
“You do realize what this will do to your career?”
“Yup. But I’ve been thinking. I don’t like working for an establishment that squelches the truth in favor of revenue.”
Walt pushed back his chair and rounded his desk. Sure, he was a good eight inches taller than she was, but today he’d never be able to intimidate her. She had to hold in a laugh at his pathetic attempt to show he was the boss.
“Get out of my office.”
“My pleasure.” She tossed him a smile and sashayed out.
Despite the fact she was now going to be impoverished, there was a lightness to her step she hadn’t expected. Doing what was right felt good. It had been years since she’d been this free.
After she picked up her few possessions, she left all keys on her desk and walked out.
The big question was what to do now. She should let Cody know that he could run the Burger Haus and Lysner’s Automotive stories without any consequences to her. In a way, by trying to keep her happy, he’d sacrificed his professional ethics. Though for all she knew, he’d already told the authorities about his suspicions.
She’d made a copy of the evidence she’d given the chief. This would be a juicy story for any newspaper. She needed to make a visit to the
Intrigue Sun
.
When she walked in, only Wanda was at her desk, and the glass-enclosed office behind her was empty.
“Can I help you?”
“I’m looking for Mr. Callen. Is he here?”
“No, I’m sorry. Can I give him a message?”
Tell him I’m sorry and that I want him in my life.
“Can you give him this envelope?”
He’d know what to do with it. “Sure will.”
With the truth about all three stories told, she headed over to the beauty salon where her mother worked. If Jessie didn’t find another job fast, she might have to move home with her. While she adored her mother, the one-bedroom apartment wasn’t big enough for both of them and Rex, her seventy-pound dog.
By the time Jessie got back to her apartment, she was quite exhausted. She bought a newspaper to look for job opportunities. She wasn’t sure what job she’d qualify for outside of journalism, but she wasn’t ever going back into broadcasting again. The censorship wasn’t for her.
It was close to 11:30 a.m. when someone knocked on the door. She looked through the peephole and her pussy jumped up for joy. She pulled open the door.
Their expressions appeared solemn.
Shit
. She’d done what they’d wanted. Were they coming to tell her they couldn’t be with a woman who didn’t have a job? She prayed they weren’t that shallow.
“Come in.”
Both took her hand and sat her down on the sofa. “How are you feeling?” Cody asked.
“Happy and sad at the same time.”
Both men leaned over and kissed her cheeks. “We are so proud of you,” Shane said.
“How did you find out?”
“When I got the envelope you left, I called the chief to tell him. He said you’d already been there, and that by disclosing the offense, you’d been fired.”
“I’ll have to admit, doing the right thing felt good.”
“I would have come over sooner, but I had a few articles to get out.” Cody winked.
Relief washed through her. “So you nailed the Burger Haus and Lysner’s Automotive?”
“While I was talking to the chief, I learned that they planned on nailing the President of Harman Security. Chief Strong is also trying to find evidence to tie him to Rhonda’s murder.”
She leaned back against the seat. “That’s so fantastic.”
“It’s all due to you. If you hadn’t stood up for what was right, justice wouldn’t have been served.”
“I’m glad.”
Shane got up from the seat across from her and sat next to her. He took her hands. “What’s the matter?”
“What’s the matter? I lost my job today.”
“If you need a loan, Cody and I can help.”
She waved her hands. “I’m not a charity case. I need a job.”
“Come work for me,” Cody chimed in.
She chuckled. “You don’t pay enough. I know the pay scale.”
Cody squeezed her knee. “You could always move in with us. That would save on rent.”
The idea was incredibly enticing, but she didn’t need their pity. “I appreciate the offer, but I’ll figure something out.”
Shane squeezed her hands. “You won’t move away from Intrigue, will you?”
She had to smile at the fear crossing his normally stoic face. “I hope I don’t have to, but I might need to. There aren’t exactly a lot of jobs here.”
Cody nodded to his friend. “What do you think about convincing Jessie what she’d be missing if she left us?”
“I’m not sure she even likes us enough if she’s contemplating moving.”
They were only kidding her. She hoped. “You guys know I have to have a job.”
Cody turned her shoulders toward them. “How about if we asked if you’d be willing to move in with us, whether you have a job or not. We both love you, Jessie. That’s why we got on your case about pursuing the hard stories.”
His words finally registered. “You love me? As in
love
love me?”
“Yes, we
love
love you.”
A crest of joy lifted her up. “I love you both, too.” She giggled, unable to contain her thrill.
“How about we show you just how much?”
“I’d like that.” She turned to Shane. “I don’t think I’m ready for any more fiery heat for a while.”
“I’m okay with that. Besides, I have other things to occupy you.”
She couldn’t help but glance at his cock, praying she’d get to experience both of her men at the same time.
Cody stood and swooped her up in his arms, acting as if she weighed less than a stack of newspapers. He headed to her bedroom, delicately placed her on the bed, and turned on a side table lamp. The idea of making love to both men already had her pussy in high gear.
“I’ve been so jealous of what Shane had with you. I can’t wait to delve into your luscious body and pack you full of my cock.”
She loved when he talked dirty. “Shane, you’re going to let him talk to me like that?”
“Babe, all I’ve been thinking about is your sweet ass. As much as your pussy turns me on something fierce, I just want to take you in your behind so bad, I can hardly sleep.”
She loved that her men were as single-minded sometimes as she was. “Then I want to strip both of you naked and suck on your cocks first.”
“We’re not sure—”
She held up a hand. “My house. My rules.”
They both looked at each other and shrugged. “Have at us, then.” Cody lifted his arms, ready for her to take off his shirt.
“You boys will have to have some patience while I strip you.” She pulled Cody’s T-shirt over his head and ran her fingers over his abs. “I do love your body.”
She whipped around and repeated the same procedure on Shane. She had to admit, Shane had a bit more definition, but given his profession, that was to be expected. Perhaps she spent a little too much time playing with Shane, because Cody turned her around.
“I’m dying here.”
She laughed. “Take off your shoes. Both of you.” They immediately obeyed.
Next she unbuttoned Cody’s jeans and slipped them down over his hips. “No underwear? What would your mother say?” For a split second, his eyes had widened, as though she would spill the beans.
Then he smiled. “She’d be proud that I’m going to bring home the best girl in Intrigue.”
Since his sister had married two men, she figured his folks were open-minded. “You do say the nicest things.”
Before she spun around to divest Shane of his pants, she leaned over and gave a quick suck on Cody’s dick. His shoulders stiffened along with his cock.
Shane grabbed hold of her ass. “This might be my favorite view.”
“Keep your hose in your pants, Mr. Fireman,” she said over her shoulder.
“That’s hard to do with your ass staring at me.”
They all laughed as she spun around and took off his jeans. He, too, was ready. She positioned them so that they were side by side.
Oh, my.
“You are two fine male specimens.”
Cody grabbed his cock. “You better hurry with what you’re going to do because my need to take you is getting stronger by the minute.”
Since she’d been with Shane last, she replaced Cody’s hand with hers and ran her tongue down his full length. The head turned purple and the vein pulsed. Once she thoroughly wet his dick, she drew him into her mouth.
He tasted almost sweet. She sucked him in and out, keeping her mouth as tight as she could around his cock. When Cody pressed his fingers into her shoulder she looked up. His eyes were closed and his lips were pressed together.
Time to stop
. An explosion so soon wouldn’t do her any good.
Since Shane was standing next to Cody so patiently, she leaned over and drew him into her mouth. She bared her teeth and dragged them upward. Shane hissed.
“Okay, that’s enough. I can’t wait any longer for you.”
She laughed at his desperation. “I’m ready.”
Cody and Shane lifted her up and positioned her on the bed. Her boots came off first then her socks. As if together they’d undressed a woman many times before, Cody took the top half and Shane the bottom.
“Lift your hips,” Shane said after he unhooked her belt and unbuttoned her jeans.
In a flash, he removed her pants. Cody took his time undoing each button on her shirt. He opened the front and ran a finger down her chest.
“I haven’t been able to get these perfect breasts out of my mind.”
Both men were exaggerating, but she wouldn’t trade them for the world.
“I’m an ass man myself,” Shane chimed in.
Cody threaded a hand between the bed and her back and lifted her up. With his free hand, he dragged her shirt down to her elbows before taking it off. Both men stood back and seemed to admire her. The heady perusal made her face heat up and her pussy moisten.
“We have to do something about these clothes, Shane.”
In no time, Shane had her panties off, and Cody had divested her of her bra. They both climbed onto the bed. Cody dropped to his stomach between her thighs, and Shane lay within mouth distance of her tits. The two men went to work on her. Shane cupped her tit and sucked hard on the nipple. The delirious pain woke up every part of her body. Good thing they hadn’t tied her down because now she was able to touch her men. With her left hand she placed her palm on Shane’s back. With her right, all she could reach was Cody’s shoulder.
