Jem…Chapter 75 by Bailey Summers Copyright © 2013 Bailey Summers All Rights Reserved.

Morning slowly drifts into my senses and for a few moments it’s just…I don’t know. You ever wake up amazed? There’s a bit of dawn lightening the windows and my bed is so warm and so snuggley.

Rayne’s there holding me and spooned with me her breasts resting against my back and I can smell her all throughout the bed. It’s a really good smell too with the complex notes of her body mixed in with the hints of her body wash and shampoo and mine. I like the smell shea butter and cocoa butter scents and just those smells of girl and woman.

It smells like home, right here, right now, feels like home.

I was getting ready for a date with my favorite Valentine, Ciaran. We were getting real close since Christmas where I quite literally crashed in front of his house. He let me stay there for at least a week. I discovered that he was a sweet man, the first man I ever dated as I was just discovering myself and who I wanted to be.

Beth woke up groggily. She felt trapped for a moment before she realized that during the night the sheets had wrapped around her tightly. Having all the sheets including the bedsheet wrapped around her had caused her to sweat quite a bit as well as her nightie clung to her skin like glue. She knew it meant she had had a bad night. While she couldn't recall any of the dreams she did feel a little less that refreshed that morning. Once out of bed she put the bedsheets into the clothes basket by the door that already had the clothes she had worn the day before in it.

San Francisco, California…sometime in the future…

Chapter Three
Amin loaded their rented SUV with the tools for the kidnapping. They had specially modified nine millimeter automatic machine pistols with extended thirty round magazines. Stun guns for any overzealous security personnel. Also, they had a medical bag with enough sedative to knock out a whale and a few items to keep their prey under control for the trip to Bahrain and a large payday.
