Excerpt from TRIPLE THREAT, the final book in The MaCall Prophecy Trilogy
“Happy graduation day, Mr. President.”
He looked up from the desk in his home office and grinned in
welcome at the beautiful woman in the doorway.
She was approaching fifty now, but she was still as gorgeous and sexy as
she had been when he met her twenty years before. “Can you believe it? She’s already graduating.”
“They grow up so quickly,” she agreed, sauntering across the
room and lowering herself into his lap deliciously. Her mouth was painted red, accentuating her
pink tongue as she licked her lips.
“Don’t worry,” she assured him.
“The wife left ten minutes ago.”
“I don’t worry…as a general rule.” He pulled her forward so that he could taste
those lips for himself. “Did you see the
ceremony?”
“I had a front row seat,” she bragged. “She’s a beautiful young woman, Gabe. You should be proud of her.”
He grinned wryly.
“She still doesn’t seem to know about her future?” he asked in
disbelief.
“My sources say that she does not. She is well liked by her friends and
respected by her professors. She
graduated at the top of her class and is now returning home.”
“To work at her family’s company?”
“You would think, but no.
She’s actually taken a job with the Mayor.”
“The Mayor?”
She studied his thoughtful expression. “Is he one of ours?”
He met her intelligent eyes.
“One can never be sure,” he answered cryptically.
“We’ve waited for twenty years, Gabe. You have retired from politics and no longer
need to collect votes. She is old enough
that she will not be under the constant supervision of her family. And she is no longer living within the
protective walls of her university. I
have to wonder if it isn’t time to make a move.”
He chewed his lip thoughtfully. “She is twenty-two and will begin making a
name for herself. If she’s already got a
job in the Mayor’s office, she will begin networking. You said yourself that she is well
liked. I don’t think that we can afford
to wait and let her build a following.”
“And let’s be real, Gabe.
Between the gangs, the refugees and the revolutionaries, it’s a
dangerous world we live in. MaCall
Securities Consulting cannot possibly protect themselves from all of the bad
guys.”
He smiled in response.
“Then it’s time.”
“Get the boys together.”
“We have lost a number of members, Aislin. The Order only has a fraction of the
membership we had twenty years ago.”
She pushed herself back and seated herself on the desk in
front of him, allowing her skirt to hike up high enough to reveal that she wore
nothing underneath. “Fortunately,
darling, you still have all the power.”
He stood up and reached for the button of his slacks. “If I didn’t, you wouldn’t be here, would
you?”
Instead of answering, she grinned and pulled him to her.
