Jorgr (The Mating Games Book 7) Read online

  Georgie raised her eyebrow at that one. “What exactly would that be?”

  “A neighbor dropped off her two daughters the day before yesterday and never came back. They have no clothes or personal items. I need someone to help me pick some things for them. In return I’d be happy to buy you lunch anywhere you want to go.”

  “I might pick some place ridiculously expensive.” She said with a grin teasing him.

  “I don’t care. I’m lost when it comes to buying things for little girls and I need some help.”

  “Okay. Let’s go right now so I can get back to work.”

  “Thank you. You are a true humanitarian.”

  Georgie laughed. “You are really funny. I hardly ever get a chance to laugh.”

  “You should laugh all the time. You’re so lovely when you laugh.”

  She started to deny it but she could see he really meant it. Why couldn’t she have a man like him? Why couldn’t she have him? It just wasn’t to be and there was no use in crying over spilled milk. He led her to a store that had children’s items. Jorgr described the girls to her by age and size. They sounded adorable.

  “Let’s start here.” She said as she stacked up sleepers, underwear, dresses, and toys. The oldest girl was potty trained but the youngest wore a diaper at night. Georgie stacked those up too. By the time she was through, there was a sizable stack of items and the prices here weren’t cheap. “Are you sure you can afford all this?”

  He smiled and he had the cutest dimples. She wanted to kiss him so bad. Not only was he sexy, but he cared about others. The man was just too good to be true. “I’m alright, but thanks for being concerned.” Jorgr pulled out a card and paid for everything. Georgie tried to get a look at the card, personal curiosity, but he shielded it too well. That made her want to know even more. The man was just too damn good in every way.

  “You’re too good to be true.” She whispered but he turned to look at her and she could swear he heard her.

  “Let’s go.” He said as he grabbed her hand leading her out of the store.

  “Where are we going?” She asked as she struggled to keep up with him.

  “We need to go to my place to wait for the stuff we just bought. We’ll go pick up the girls first.”

  Just a few blocks from her house was an old factory building that had been remodeled into apartments. Apparently his was on the top floor. They stopped on the first floor to pick the little girls up before they got in the elevator and went straight up to the top. The apartment was modern in many ways but it had a comfortable feel like Jorgr did himself. It was hard to explain but from the first time they had met she’d felt far too at ease with him.

  Georgie tried to keep her distance but it never worked. Like now they went through all the purchases with two excited little girls and it reminded her of the tales of the Christmas celebrations of a thousand years ago. Their eyes were aglow, smiles on their little faces, and screams of excitement as they opened boxes. She glanced up at Jorgr who was looking back at her. It was time to go before she got in any deeper. Hours had passed and she had work left to do.

  “I must go now.”

  “You can’t go walking home alone. Let me find someone to watch the girls and I’ll walk you home.”

  “I don’t need protecting. I’ve lived here all my life and make walks like this all the time.”

  He tried to talk her into waiting but she hurried out before he could stop her. They were getting too close and no good would come of it. Hurrying along the sidewalk she drew in deep breaths of crisp air. The cool breeze came off the water and though she walked fast she stayed cool. Once she got home she got on her computer finishing her days work. She was done, tired and listless so she took a bath. Hot water, scented bubbles, and a glass of wine calmed her but made her think of him.

  Jorgr was her fantasy. The perfect lover she would never really know. She pinched her nipple making it erect. Now she rolled it pretending it was his hand that made it grow harder. Her other hand worked its way south. Lower and lower until it rested on her pussy. “Oh, Jorgr.” She moaned as her finger speared its way between her nether lips. Her thumb rubbed her clit as a finger slipped inside and out. Her vibrator was just out of reach in a drawer and the need was too strong to wait. Faster and faster her thumb circled her clit as her finger moved in and out. So close.

  Her clit throbbed with need until she gave up and pinched it between her thumb and first finger. She pinched and plucked it like a fine instrument until her body erupted in orgasm. Screams of pleasure rolled from her throat. It was the hardest orgasm she had ever had. Just thinking of that man had brought so much passion out in her. It had been a mistake but one she would probably make again. Even if she would never have him she couldn’t help but imagine what it would be like if she could.

  Georgie lay back panting as she tried to catch her breath. Recovering from the orgasm after a few minutes, she felt like just drifting off to sleep in the tub but knew better. She forced herself to get out, let the water out, and dry off. Throwing on a sleep shirt, she went to bed falling asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. Jorgr dominated her dreams and it was so real she found her bliss more than once which was something she had never done before. When she woke, she was relaxed until her mind kicked in with all the worries of the day.

  The next week passed with Jorgr coming by every day talking her into lunch with her secretary, Debbie’s help. Maybe she gave in too easily but he was hard to resist. The man had wined her, dined her, and made her laugh. He’d shown he was polite, sweet, and pleasing to be around. It would be so easy to give in if her sisters weren’t counting on her. One had gone to Oison, two were still here and needed her. Mimi and Annie both worked but things came up all the time that required her help. If she left to the far reaches of the galaxy with Jorgr, she wouldn’t be able to help them. No, he hadn’t asked her to leave but it would be the only way they could be together. Her business would be like a block hanging around her neck.

  She suspected her time was running out. It might be at an end and it was time to move on. The only reason she had waited was that Jorgr was a temptation she couldn’t resist. “Why so serious?” Jorgr asked.

  They sat at a table in the finest restaurant in town. There were candles, flowers, and lace table cloths on the tables and a piano at the entrance. The music echoed softly throughout the room. “I’m going to be leaving soon and the business won’t survive. I was just thinking that I’ll miss you.”

  “Don’t leave, at least not without me. We can be together if you’ll let it happen.”

  “I’m afraid it’s just not to be. I have responsibilities you won’t want.”

  “You’re wrong. Responsibilities don’t bother me. Have you learned nothing about me?”

  “I’ll admit it was impressive the way you took the girls in but you probably won’t have to keep them.”

  “You think I wouldn’t? I love those little girls and if I don’t find their mother they will be mine. I’d never leave them at the mercy of this cold world of yours.”

  Her heart caught in her chest as she considered the possibility that she could have him for her own. Could fate have someone so good in store for her or was it just wishful thinking. She realized something odd in what he’d said. “Isn’t this your world too?”

  “I wasn’t born here.”

  Was that what he’d meant? It was still odd but understandable since he’d been born and raised in space. She let it go since more important matters were on her mind.

  Chapter 5

  Time To Go

  Jorgr hadn’t been calling in regularly. He was past due but he had enough information that he had no doubts about what was going on and why. Georgie had sidetracked him but the listening devices he’d set up in the offices of the upper management were plenty damning without any other information and he’d just sent that on as well as a message. His mate that was what she was and he was sure of it, had been nervous last night. It was his plan to get t
he girls ready, get Georgie, and make tracks out of this place.

  Everything they had to have was packed and loaded in his hover car. It was a special one that would take them to the space station where they would catch a ride out of this solar system. Earth had once had authority beyond this group of planets but their power was fading fast. Once beyond the last planet, they would be home free. The only problem was convincing his female it was time to go. The girls were ready so he carried Bonnie, the youngest, while Lizzie grabbed his hand. They made it to Georgie’s house before dark.

  Knocking on the door, Jorgr worried when it took her so long to answer. When she finally did, he saw she had packed her bags. They went inside closing the door. He let Bonnie down and she and Lizzie climbed onto the nearest couch. “Going somewhere?” He asked with a brow raised.

  “I told you I’ve outstayed my welcome here.”

  “Come with us. We’re going away too.”

  “What of their mother?”

  “The investigator will continue to look for her. If she’s found he will get her to us.”

  “I just don’t know.” She said but she was interrupted by a loud banging on the door. Georgie looked scared, her face white and drawn. Her eyes were large as she stared at the door. Slowly she moved toward it.

  When she opened it police officers rushed in grabbing her roughly. “What’s the meaning of this?” Jorgr asked.

  “We were told this female was running away. We have information that she’s involved in some serious events like blowing up a space ship. It looks like we caught her just in time. The officer said as she surveyed the room. “All her possessions appear to be packed.”

  “Of course they’re packed. She’s moving in with us because she agreed to be my wife. What kind of evidence do you have? You’d best be treating her gently, we’re trying to have a baby.”

  The difference in their treatment of Georgie was evident immediately. “I’m sorry Sir. We had no idea. I still have to take her in but you can meet us at the station and I’m sure they’ll set bail.” The policewoman, most police officers were women because most men were too lazy to work that hard, was giving him a look that said she thought he had money. In her world that meant he could get his wife off regardless of whether she was guilty or not. The corruption and bribery was endless and Jorgr knew he needed to get her off quickly and escape or neither of them would ever leave this world alive.

  It was clear to him someone had set Georgie up but if the two of them were lucky whoever it was wasn’t watching closely. If he managed to bail her out they could get off this world in an hour or less. Hopefully it would be a day or more before anyone realized they were no longer there.

  Lizzie and Bonnie were angels. They sat watching everything, their eyes big as saucers clearly realizing something bad was happening although they had no way of knowing what. He picked up Bonnie and held Lizzie’s hand as they walked out to the curb. One of the policewomen gave him a ride to the station trying the whole way there to interest him in her instead. She was wasting her time but he needed the ride there so he let her talk.

  “Have you changed your mind? I’m a better choice.” She insisted as she stared at him with lust.

  “No, I’ve made my choice but thank you for the ride.”

  “You’ll regret it. She’s nothing but trouble.” She grouched as he closed the door walking toward the police department with the two little girls in his arms. Jorgr was glad to see the last of her. Carrying Lizzie and Bonnie into the police station, he regretted having to bring them into such a rough place.

  Georgie was being booked into custody. They were taking pictures and scanning prints right in the main entry. A Captain walked over to him as soon as he saw him. “I’ve heard you intend to make bail. How much can you afford?”

  “One hundred international units if you speed this up.” International units were worth far more than the money Earth used.

  Greed showed on the Captains face. “Consider it done.” Jorgr knew the captain would pocket the money, put a small amount of local currency in the drawer and pretend to know nothing of what had occurred. One of his subordinates would sign the paperwork and get all the blame with none of the reward. Unemployment rates were high so a replacement was standing in the wings waiting for an opening.

  If he could get her bailed out quickly, they would be on their way. As soon as she was booked in, she was brought to him and the captain. No one would pay bail without the prisoner standing next to them ready to be released. Jorgr handed him the hundred unit token and he examined it closely before smiling and leading them to the door. Now they walked cautiously, not wanting to seem in a hurry yet trying to get away as fast as possible.

  Jorgr carried the girls and led Georgie to the garage his hover car was kept in. Once on it they would escape never to be seen near this cursed planet again. They were both a bundle of nerves unable to calm down as they neared the garage. Anyone who might have followed them would suspect something since they hadn’t gone to his house or hers. It was his hope they hadn’t been followed.

  He set Lizzie down and handed Bonnie to Georgie so he could unlock the door. It had the primitive locks used in this area and modern electronic locks as a backup. Carefully he opened the door letting Georgie and the girls through first. Jorgr followed them in closing, locking, then securing the side door in case anyone had followed them. The bay door was the one they would be exiting and anyone foolish enough to try to stop his hover car would be seriously injured if not killed.

  Opening the door on the car, he efficiently fastened in one girl and then the other. The car was large so they would be comfortable and food and drinks were stored in the back. A passenger in the front could slip between the seats to access the rear section while they were in flight if necessary. This particular vehicle had stealth and weaponry. Once they were in the air, they were home free. A banging noise came from the side door.

  “Hurry, Georgie! Just get in and we’ll take off.” The young ones were fastened in, that was the most important. She nodded and hopped into her seat finding the seat belt easily and having it on before he closed the door. Turning the motor on, he pushed a button to raise the bay door. Inching out, police were everywhere and some tried to hang onto the sides of the hover car and open the doors. They had no luck. Revving the motor in a warning that all but the craziest took seriously, the hover car pushed forward and stopped quickly sending the foolish ones trying to hang on flying. Once they were all off, he moved up and away.

  “That was amazing. They all seemed to get up so it looks like no one was hurt.” Georgie observed.

  “I can’t believe they tried to hang on like that.” Jorgr shook his head. He was a demon and wouldn’t do something that stupid.

  “What will we do now?”

  “I want you to come with me.”

  “Look, I like you, a lot, but I can’t live on some far off space station. Stay here with me. We’ll disappear on some far off island never to be heard from again. I liquidated the company and Smythe is in for a shock. There’ll be no money to support him. His rent and utilities will be due in a few days with no money to pay them. He will be destitute and now he’ll find out who his real friends are.” Georgie laughed coldly.

  “A man like that never has real friends. We’d never be safe here. Why don’t we go to Oison?”

  “How would we get there? How would we get them to let us stay? Could we buy a place there?”

  “What would you say if I told you I have a place there?”

  “That money can truly buy anything?”

  “I’m afraid that’s not true. You have to be a resident to own a home on Oison.” He waited for her to make the connection.

  “You’re from Oison?” She asked slowly as if unsure how that could possibly be true. “But you worked on Earth.”

  “Yes, I was undercover. I was investigating the very accident they were trying to blame on you. It seems the new president of the company, I was working at was the one th
at ordered the explosion on the ship that killed so many people. He’d only intended to kill a few, but that doesn’t matter. We have the proof we need to see him punished.”

  “Oh, Jorgr. Do you really think our legal system will do anything to him?”

  “Georgie, I am a Mazlan. Do you believe we would leave the punishment up to Earth’s corrupt system? We have our own ways and he will be disciplined.”

  “I don’t even want to know.”

  “So you will come with me?”

  “I want to, but I have two sisters that I can’t leave behind.”

  “Mimi and who is the other one?”

  “How did you guess?”

  “You two were too friendly. I investigated and discovered the connection.”

  “That means someone else might find it too.” Now he saw fear in her eyes.

  “We need to find a way to get her a message. We’ll just take Mimi with us.”

  “We’ll have to take Annie too. She’ll be easier to get. Her place is in the country where we were raised. Let me message Mimi then we’ll get Annie.”

  Jorgr would do anything for this female. He knew without a doubt she was his mate. No other female would ever do, she was his one and only. If she wanted her sisters to come, he would bring them. The car would hold up to nine so two more wouldn’t be a problem. Getting Mimi without getting caught would be the biggest problem.

  He listened as Georgie spoke to Mimi. “Plan alpha. No waiting just do it.” Apparently they had been prepared for a situation just like the one they were in.

  “So what will she do now?”

  ‘She’ll grab her two girls and head out the backway. She’ll go through the old subway tunnels and meet us near the burned out hover car factory.”

  “There’s an old hover car factory? Why didn’t they rebuild it?”

  “There aren’t enough people who can afford one of these. There is only one factory and it’s in Europe. People think the fire was insurance fraud. They couldn’t prove it so they had to pay out.”
