Yes. Yes it was, Mordecai thought and a strangling sound escaped his lips as the vehicle came to a stop.<br/><br/>It was his own fault. Mordecai had called her. He needed her. But it had been so very relaxing and quiet since she had been away that he was not sure he was ready for her bubbly helpfulness. He eyed the drivers side as she put it in park.<br/><br/>She stepped out revealing those long athletic legs and Mordecai remember why he loved her.  He couldn't help but smile as she rushed into his arms. His embraced her. Kissing her like she had never left or at least returned from a short shopping trip. He stroked her body with his and kissed her in a deep long kiss. Slowly he released her lips.<br/><br/>He should have known better than to let her talk. But he thought what the hell, a present. That was nice. Cuban cigars, a bottle of rare scotch, and he was very excited as he came around the Audi.<br/><br/>And stopped abruptly at the word, she.<br/><br/>"SHE????"  Mordecai barked as he stared at a girl wear a red bow, and a ball gag restrained in chains and handcuffs.<br/><br/>The car door wide open and the girl, beautiful. Exciting. And probably one hell of a great fuck, sat wide eyes frantically murmuring in the gag fighting the restraints.<br/><br/>Mordecai grabbed Madeline by the arms and turned her to face him. "Madeline!!"<br/><br/>Then he calmed down but his eyes were hot pitch, and his hands clamped around her forearms, "We've talked about this before. You CANNOT bring any more strays home!!"<br/><br/>Mordecai put up his finger to silence her protests, "NONE!! Not one!!  NO ONE ELSE!!" He emphases.<br/><br/>The damage had been done. The girl awake and watching them knew far too much to be simply turned loose. The girl goes to the police because someone's sister kidnaps her and the next thing you know the team is locked away for the rest of their lives. They would probably hold a grudge. And his luck he'd been accessible to them.<br/><br/>Mordecai stared hard right thru Madeline's eyes, "PROMISE!! NO MORE!!"<br/>
