The Reed Security Relationship Manual: A Reed Security Romance by Giulia Lagomarsino (english novels for students .TXT) 📕

“But…” Burg stuttered. “What about just selling books. Emma, you used to love that. And Ivy…you love making coffee.”

I snorted into my hand. If he was going for anything other than insulting, he failed miserably.

“I thought this was just a fun business to keep you all busy, until, you know the kids went off to training,” Jackson said, squirming in his seat.

Emma glanced at Raegan, who immediately stood and set a bag on the table. She reached in and pulled out the biggest dildo I had ever seen. Seriously, this thing was a monster. It reminded me of Parker’s cock. I scrubbed at my eyes, trying to wipe that memory away, but it was hard. The man was seriously huge, and it was surprising there was actually a man on the face of the earth with a dick so big.

“This is the number one selling dildo in the United States right now. Women are looking for the very best, and we intend to give it to them,” Ivy stated. “As you’ve said,” she glared at Burg, “Emma and I do miss our days of selling books and…making coffee. So, we’ve decided that this toy shop wouldn’t just be an adult toy store, but a mature store primarily targeted toward women. The idea is to draw in customers that are not only fascinated by…big dicks, but also want a little romance. We’d set up a food and drink bar, along with a section for romance readers. If you look on page three, you’ll see the design we’ve laid out, along with how much everything will cost.”

As the guys looked it over, I just kept staring at the dildo. Ivy picked it up, staring at me as she stroked the dildo in her hand. I swallowed hard and fumbled with the papers, trying to focus on what was being said and not the fact that I wanted to take her home right now and fuck her.

“Are you planning on putting pay-by-the-hour rooms in the back?” Jackson muttered.

“If you think it’ll help,” Raegan grinned. “I bet we could even make services available, should you walk in the store while we’re working.”

Jackson choked on air as Raegan tossed him a saucy wink. What the hell was going on with these women? Was this really what they wanted to do? Run a sex store and have porn on the walls?

“But that can all be discussed when we return,” Claire said, standing up from her seat.

“When you return?” Derek asked. “And just where do you think you’re going?”

“A sex toy convention,” she grinned. “I hear they even have superhero dildos. Wouldn’t that be fun?”

It got really quiet in the room for all of two seconds before Cap burst out laughing. “I’m sorry, but this is just unreal. We’re trying to do everything possible to keep you all safe and you want to open a sex toy shop in town.”

“Not to mention, go to some convention filled with perverts,” Derek muttered. “Sorry, Claire bear, but it’s not happening.”

“Oh, I wasn’t asking for your permission. I was just telling you that’s what we’d be doing.”

“How do we even know it’s safe at this…this…convention thing,” Jackson spat. “It could be filled with sex deviants that only want…sex.”

“Yes,” Raegan nodded slowly. “That’s usually what a convention like this would entail.”

“I like it,” Sinner piped up. “Sex toys, romance, all the toys we could want. Count me in.”

“No,” I shook my head. “Maybe you can have the toy shop. At least we would be close and security would be tight. We could get to you quickly, but a convention? A road trip, just the five of you? No, that’s just asking for trouble. Claire will pack guns. Cara’s gonna freak out and throw up all over the place. Ivy, let’s face it, you’ll be the first to end up in jail. And Emma, last time you came back in a bra. I’m just saying, there’s no way Burg’s gonna let you do this. And Raegan…” I glanced at Jackson, who just shook his head. “No, I’m putting my foot down.”

“I think you’re missing the part where we’re going no matter what you say,” Ivy said, crossing her arms over her chest.

“Cap,” I turned, pleading with him.

He shook his head. “They’re your women! Why are you looking at me?”

“Because you’re the boss. Do something about this!”

“Yeah, send them off to boot camp or something,” Burg added.

“No.” Derek shook his head. “Claire doesn’t need any more training with weapons. Let’s not forget what happened the last time these five got together.”

“Listen,” Cara stood, staring us all down, her fingertips braced on the table. “We’re going to this whether you like it or not. Now, we’re leaving in precisely…” She looked down at her watch, “five hours. If by then you have a plan in place you’d like us to adhere to, you’d better have it ready for us in four hours.”

We all glanced at one another, a state of panic filled the room as the women sat down and waited for us.

“Well, first things first,” Derek said, “No guns. I’m sorry, but as much as we want to protect them, handing them weapons is just asking for disaster.”

Cap pressed a button on the phone, calling Becky.

“Yeah, bossman.”

“I need the schematics for this sex toy convention the ladies are attending. Anything you can get me in the next hour. I need the layout of the building, along with the names and backgrounds of anyone attending. Put anyone on it that you can.”

“On it, bossman.”

“Wait, I haven’t told you where it’s being held.”

She snorted. “Yeah, I already know where it is.”

She hung up, Cap shaking his head in amazement.

“Alright, what are we thinking in terms of security?” Blake asked.

“Simple,” Sinner shrugged. “We send them with the SUV that’s fully stocked.”

“You want to send them with a machine gun and RPGs?” I asked. “Are you insane? My wife has already been to prison! I really don’t want to put her in
