Black and Blue (Black and Blue Series) (27 page)

“Henry what’s wrong?” her voice shook with
panic, and he smiled weakly at her.

He opened his arms for her and she threw herself at him. “Sweetheart, the enforcers will be here soon.”

Jamie gasped. The Black Enforcers were the strongest men and women of the Black army. They maintained the tower. They were specifically picked by her father, and he commanded them. Hell, she knew most of them personally.

She looked up at him and he was smiling down at her.
How the hell can he be smiling?
They would be put in the tower, and he would be killed! It was too soon, she wanted more time with him. “We need to leave, and wipe that smile off of your face!”

Henry shook his head causing his hair to go in his face. “No sweetheart, I don’t want to spend the rest of our life running. And I’m smiling because I get to hold you before I am taken. When they get here, don’t fight them
. Just do what they say. It will make things easier.” He cupped her face and leaned his forehead against hers. “I just want to hold you until they get here.”

Tears filled her eyes
, but she nodded. She wanted to be in his arms and she understood that she couldn’t fight the enforcers because she would lose. Henry wrapped her back in his arms and held her close to him.

“I love you, Henry.” She felt him squeeze her to him.

“I don’t think you will ever know how much I love you, Jamie Roarke.”

Jamie felt him kiss the top of her head and tears started to steam down her face
. She heard movement outside and knew it was the enforcers. They smashed in the front door, and int d and teat made her jump in Henry’s arms. He just held her tighter. Jamie knew that their time together had run out. She was ripped away from Henry’s arms, and her first instinct was to knock the person out, but she remember what he’d said, just to let them take them would be easier.

She looked around as
about twenty Black Enforcers filled the little kitchen. Three of them shoved Henry to the ground. His face smacked the ground and it echoed throughout the room.

“You don’t need to be rough
with him! He isn’t fighting you.” Jamie tried to move toward Henry, but three sets of hands grabbed her. One at her waist, another latching onto her hair and pulling it hard so her head was to the side, and another held a stun gun to her neck.

“You move again, I will stun you. I take extra pleasure in stunning
traitors,” he said and removed his face armor. She didn’t know him.

One of the
enforcers cleared their throat, causing the man with the stun gun to look away from her. “Sir, I think that is Jamie Moore.”

She tried to look through the
Black armor covering the face of the man who had spoken to see if she knew who it was. She had trained with some of them, and wondered if she knew this one.

The man pressed the stun gun more into her neck and Henry turned to look at her. “What would a Moore be doing in a filthy
Blue’s house? Don’t tell me you let him put his dirty cock in you.” He smiled at her, and the enforcer who held onto her hands let go.

S
he didn’t waste the opportunity. She tightly closed her fist and swung as hard as she could, hitting his cheek and taking him by surprise. He fell to the ground and she brought her knee up to meet his face.
Crunch
! She’d most likely broken his nose and the enforcer that had been holding her grabbed her again. The man with the stun gun glared up at her with blood pouring out of his nose; she smiled down at him.

Ha! See what happens when you mess with me.

Slowly he stood back up, grabbed the front of her dress and pulled her close to him. Jamie looked down at her dress as his blood dripped on it.

“You senseless bitch. I can kill you for that, and I don’t give a shit if you
are
a Moore.”

“See that is where you are wrong, I am trained just like you
,
little boy,
and I can hold my own.” Something her father taught her was to never show fear, no matter what. Right at that moment she was terrified; not really for herself, but for what might happen. Jamie knew she didn’t want to be alone with the asshole. He would kill her and not think twice about it. But some of the men knew her, and respected her.

“James back downame her an, now!”

She knew that voice, and her heart nearly stopped. James stepped away but glared at her.

“Are you hurt Jamie?”

She sighed, and looked past the man she’d made bleed to her ex-boyfriend. “Ryan you are an ass. Even this is low for you.” Jamie watched as Ryan started to walk toward her, he glanced down at Henry as he passed. “Why can’t you let me be happy?”

Ryan narrowed his eyes, and he looked down at her dress. “You’re hurt?” He quickly
glanced at the man who had been holding a stun gun to her throat moments ago.

“It’s not my blood.”

Ryan turned his attention back to her, but she looked at Henry as he was being forced up. “I’m going to have to arrest you,” he said and she felt cool metal slide on her arms.

She had only seen the cuffs a few times but knew they cover
ed the entire forearm, and they were impossible to break.

“You can put
both of them in the same car. Just make sure they are handcuffed.”

All of the enforcers said, “Yes
, sir.” Gently the one who had her hands led her out behind Henry. His enforcer wasn’t nice and kept kneeing him on the back of his knees causing Henry to almost fall.

“I swear if you keep doing that to my husband
, I will kill you,” she said and everyone stopped moving. She heard many of them gasp. “That’s freaking right, so now do that again, I dare you.”

“J
amie keep your smart mouth shut,” Ryan said from behind her and she knew she shouldn’t have said anything, but she wasn’t going to keep their marriage a secret.

Jamie felt everyone star
ing at her and Henry as they were led out of the Rich’s home to the large metal Black vans that said, ‘Black Enforcers’ on the outside. She didn’t drop her head in shame. She held it high up looking at everyone who was standing out in the street trying to see what was going on. She knew she still was wearing her Black bracelet, and she wanted to cut it off, but she couldn’t. The Black bracelet was a part of her and she would never what it off of her. Maybe she would add to it, since she was a Blue now too.

The man that led
Henry out shoved him into the van, causing Henry to hit his head on the metal bench. The man turned around to face Jamie and he glared at her, but she recognized him. He was one of the enforcers who had helped train her. She’d thought he was nice as he’d always been nice to her before. “Are you really going to threaten me,
Blue fucker
?”

Jamie tried to keep the panic off of her face.
She remembered that her father had called him the psycho, and he’d wanted to get rid of him, but knof Maybeew he would do things and not think twice about it. His name was Tim, and she was one-hundred percent terrified. For him to call her a
Blue fucker
it made her blood boil. It was something you would call someone to hurt them; she wasn’t hurt she was pissed. Jamie just stared at him, not moving when he stepped closer to her and she tried like hell not to glance at Henry.

“At least you’re smart and
keeping your smart ass mouth shut,” he said and walked away from her.

Slowly she let out the breath she had
n’t been aware she was holding.

Gently
, the Enforcer who was holding her hands placed one hand on her back and smoothly helped her up into the van. Jamie saw Henry and wanted to throw herself at him, but knowing she couldn’t, quietly sat next to him on the bench. She felt her heart ache because his forehead was bleeding from when he was thrown in the van. The doors were slammed shut and four bright lights lit up the corners of the van.

“Oh Henry, you’re bleeding.”

He smiled down at her and she felt her tears burning the back of her eyes. “I’ll be fine, but what happened to not fighting them?” he asked and arched his eyebrows at her.

Jamie bit her lip, and shrugged as best as she could. “Well I wasn’t going to sit there and let them hurt you.”

He leaned as close to her as he could, but it was enough. He could kiss her lips softly. “God, I love my fiery redhead,” he said against her lips and it made her smile.

“Henry you know you are the best of me too, and I wasn’t joking when I said I would fight for you.”

He slightly moved away from her, but he kept his body close to hers. “I know you will, even if I asked you not to you would. I just couldn’t live with myself if something happened to you. Things are going to happen fast now in the revolution, and I don’t want you caught in the middle of things.”

Jamie smiled at the man who
had stolen her heart, and she couldn’t think about being with anyone else. “And I will be the one to lead them,” she said and leaned her head on his shoulder.

“No I don’t want you part of it.” Jamie lifted her head to look at her husband. “Please Jamie I don’t want you part of it, I have people already in place that will lead.”

She knew she wouldn’t just sit there and be the good wife he wanted her to be, but she didn’t tell him that. She slowly nodded her head. “I don’t want to fight, we only have a few more minutes together.” She watched his face soften, and he nodded.

“Sweetheart
, I never want to fight with you, you are my world.” Henry leaned down and kissed her.

S
he wanted to wrap her arms around his neck and pull him close to her, but she couldn’t toucou2em">

“I will come back to you, no matter what
. No one will keep me from you.”

Jamie felt the love she had for him grow because she knew he was telling her the truth. She wanted
, no needed, more than their first touch they shared in his room an hour ago. She wanted forever with him. “I love you Henry.”

“I know, and I love you.”

Jamie’s and Henry’s eyes widened at the same time as they felt the van come to a stop. She sent a silent prayer for her love to stay strong.

Chapter Sixteen

Disappointment

Jamie sat at in her jai
l cell, the front of it was see-through and she remembered her father telling her it was almost indestructible. She knew Henry was on the other side of her cell, she could feel the undeniable pull to him. She would do almost anything to be in his arms again. One thing was for sure, she wouldn’t be taking anything for granted. Jamie wished she would have programmed Henry’s touches and the way he smelled in her head. She wasn’t sure if she would ever get to touch her husband again. Softly, she laid her head on the silver metal table in front of her. She welcomed the coolness on her face, because she needed something to cool her down. When the Black Enforcer Officer brought her in there, she’d recognized him as a boy she went to school with. Jake had told her how sorry he was, as he’d handcuffed her to the table which was bolted to the metal floor.
