"Cord, someone's in the house. I think they're heading for Susie's room." There was fear in the kid's voice but he was holding it together. I knew I shouldn't have let her leave me. There was no time for recriminations now though; I had to move."I'm on my way." I hit the ground running. I tightened the waist on my drawstring pajama bottoms, pulled the socks off my feet for better traction, and picked up my glock in one hand and my phone in the other.I used the mechanism on my watch to open the gate as I ran flat out. I used my phone to call Lo, he'll alert the others. But I was sure I'd be done by the time they got there. "Lo, someone's after my girl, I'm almost there.""Fuck, I'll get the others. Cord don't..."I hung up before he could try to talk me out of going in alone. I know my brothers very well and Lo's first priority will always be one of us. He'd want me to wait, even though we'd just learned that they were the old man's, he'd still put my life before hers.I pac
The whistle came not long after, announcing the arrival of my brothers and I answered before going to Davey's room. Lo was the first one through the window, followed by the others. "Who's home with the women?" As much as I appreciated them coming, I couldn't forget we were on high fucking alert back at the compound."Ours are fine-we made sure of that. How's yours doing?""She'll be fine but she's not staying here after tonight." I kissed her forehead and put her away from me. "Go with my brothers baby, I'll be right back.""Where are you going?" She clung to me, making my heart jump in my chest. I hated the fear in her eyes, hated that this shit had touched her. Too fucking close. "I have to make a run, you're okay baby look at me." I clasped her face between my hands and looked into her eyes, something else I was teaching her to do is read me. After her slight nod, I turned to my brother. "Ty I need a hand.""What do you need brother?" I motioned him towards the hallway, and
I looked around at all of them, at my brothers and the way they were trying to soothe their women's fears, thinking of how drastically our lives had changed in such a short space of time. Especially us men, we were damn near domesticated. It helped to calm me down some as I looked at Ty rubbing Vicki's tummy as he whispered in her ear, or the way Lo and Con were comforting their women. Zak had the baby on his hip and was soothing Nessa with his other hand as she looked ready to go to battle.Lo motioned to me with his head and he and the others moved out of the kitchen headed for the backyard. I walked over to her chair. Someone had wrapped a blanket around her shoulders to help with the shakes. Taking her little face in my hands I studied her eyes; shock, but nothing we can't handle.I whispered words of comfort in her ear until I was sure she was going to be okay. "I'm right outside if you need me Gem. All you have to do if you get scared is call out and I'll be right here." I
"If the fucking spooks are part of this, which I'm pretty sure we all knew was coming, then we'd better up our fucking game." I think subconsciously we all knew that an operation this big, with all these pockets, had to have something like the agency behind it. Especially since it would appear that some very high-ranking military personnel were involved. It was the only thing that made sense. The shit had been going on for years and no one had ever heard so much as a whisper about it. The more we uncovered the more shit we stepped in. But Lo was right, there were still a lot of unanswered questions, and we all know those can lead to a shitload of problems.So far the enemy seemed to have all the answers, while we were walking blind. I don't like those odds. "Why the fuck are they scraping the bottom of the barrel? Don't they have enough enlisted men to do their dirty work without hiring ex-cons?""We sure those IDs are legit Quinn?""Yep, but that doesn't mean it can't be a co
We'd been trying for weeks to pin her down to get some answers but she kept evading us. We all knew the kind of man the CO was and there was no way he would've left his kids unprotected and unclaimed.So far none of the notes we found had said much of anything about the situation, except for that one entry where he mentioned a suspicion that the two kids might be his. I wasn't sure how that shit worked since they were a few years apart, and I'm thinking if she pulled it off once how in the fuck had she fooled the CO twice? No one could come up with an explanation for that one, and we still haven't told them that the man they knew and loved as a friend was actually their dad. We're still waiting for the right time to make that play.In all the time her kids have been coming over she never once set foot over here to see what kind of people we were and we'd seen her a total of two times. Granted Susie was of legal age, barely, but still. That shit gave me the impression that she wa
Back at the house, my eyes zeroed in on her and hers sought me out still filled with lingering fear. I smiled to reassure her that all was right in her world again. Her face softened and I saw her body relax as if she'd been waiting for my return. So much passed between us in that one moment While I'd been giving her time, time I thought she needed, someone else had been plotting to take her life. There was still so much I needed to teach her to bring her into my world, but looking at her now after what she'd been through, after almost losing her it didn't matter anymore, none of it did. All that mattered now was taking her to my bed. Fuck everything else.I suddenly couldn't wait to be alone with her. I needed to feel her warmth beneath me, needed that connection. Only then would I be able to erase the night. I needed to get inside her, to reassure myself that she was safe, whole, mine. Now that imminent danger had passed, she now faced a danger of a different kind. Would I ha
He didn't give any warning before making his way down my body and shoving my legs apart. His hands were rough when he tore my panties to shreds and just looked down at me, the way he always does.My body flushed bright red, but more from excitement than shyness. It's weird, but I think the night's events had freed me. There was no longer any lingering doubt. I wanted this, wanted him. I could've died tonight. The thought made everything else seem pointless.The hungry look in his eyes made my blood burn with lust. And when he pushed my legs even wider with his broad shoulders and ran his nose along my inner thigh I shook. He did that growling thing that makes me feel like the most desirable woman as he inhaled my scent. I couldn't wait for that first touch of his tongue. "Please..."He pushed my legs back to my ears leaving me open before I felt his mouth on my heated flesh. He kissed my labia and I almost swooned, but there was no time for that as he continued his assault on my
"It's time little gem." That's all I said to her as soon as her eyes opened in the morning. From the widening of her eyes I knew she didn't need me to explain. Earlier this morning, she was ready to ride my dick, now her fear was back. When her eyes flew right to my dick I knew what her problem was."Let's get this out of the way." I took her hand and held it against my cock. "He's skin and blood, he might hurt you a little as is his right when he takes you for the first time, but he won't kill you. And you know I will never harm you, so put that fear I see in your eyes away. Now come 'ere."I lifted her from the bed and headed for the bathroom with her held closely in my arms. Once there I stood her on her feet next to the tub as I ran the water until it was just right. She still hadn't said a word and I left her to her own thoughts. This was a life changing moment for her after all. I'd told her enough times what this final step in our bond would mean. If she was having second th
