Calamity Jena (Invertary 4)

“Can you call us once you have,” Magenta said. “I’d like to know how it goes.” She gave Harry a thoughtful look. “Maybe it’s something we can try.”

Harry choked on a mouthful of coffee. Yep, he was definitely listening. Jena frowned over at him, but he kept his eyes on the screen.

“Is it a normal ring, or a vibrating ring?” Abby said.

The women stared at her.

“What?” She held up her hands. “It’s a perfectly reasonable question.”

“Can you even get vibrating rings?” Megan asked. “Is that just your imagination talking?”

Nobody knew the answer. Jena whipped out her cell phone and consulted the oracle Google.

“Holy crap,” she said. “You can get loads of vibrating rings for all different parts of the body.” She gave her friends a look of wonder. “There’s vibrating tongue jewellery.”

Abby spun on Claire. “Does he have his tongue pierced?”

“No.” Claire looked disappointed before she remembered she planned to have nothing more to do with the man. “This is a moot discussion. I’ve broken up with Samuel. He isn’t the man I thought he was.” She pointed at Jena in outrage. “He kidnapped my friend!”

“Good point,” Abby said. “But do you think he would get his tongue pierced if you asked him to?”

“How much wine have you had?” Jena said, confiscating Abby’s glass.

“Enough to know I’m horny and fascinated by vibrating male body parts. You should be applauding me. It’s only taken three years, but my sex drive has finally woken up.”

Jena returned Abby’s wine glass, then gave her a hug. “You’re right. Ask all the questions you want to ask.”

“You know,” Megan said, “I’ve often thought men’s body parts should vibrate. And not just their penises either. Vibrating fingers would come in really handy. Get it? Handy!”

The women descended into giggles.

Matt stood in the doorway of the police s

tation’s only cell. Frank Di Marco sat on the bed smiling smugly up at him.

“You’re being escorted to Glasgow Airport. You’ll be put on the first flight out of here. If you show your face in town again, you’ll be arrested for kidnapping and assault. This is a one-time deal. I would take it seriously if I were you. I’m more than happy to lock you up and throw away the key.”

Frank sneered at him. “This isn’t over.”

“It is for you. Find another way to save your club and your sorry arse. Jena is a dead end. Am I clear?”

“Oh yeah, you’re clear.” The hard, flat look in Frank’s eyes was murderous.

Matt didn’t care. He just wanted him gone. He closed the door. Pete waited in the reception area.

“Get his stuff from the hotel, take the SUV and get him out of here.”

“You want him cuffed?”

“Absolutely. Take no chances. Keep him immobile until he’s on that plane. Then he’s somebody else’s problem.”

“Gotcha.” Pete headed to the door.

“I’ll call ahead, make all the arrangements for him. I’ll have someone waiting for you at the airport. This isn’t official. There’s no court order for his removal, but we’ll make it look good. Just get him on the plane. I’ve had enough of him.”

“Haven’t we all?” Pete said as he pushed the door.

Matt headed back to the office, passing the tiny kitchen, where Joe was making coffee. He cocked an eyebrow at the man. “Why are you still here?”
