“Okay, we’re all set,” Louis said, joining them. She eased back and Louis smiled at her and Hunt. He pressed his palm along her thigh. “You brought a sweater in case it’s chilly later on the way back?” he asked her.
She brought Louis’s hand to her lips and kissed his knuckles. Hunt saw Louis squint. “I’ll have my big, sexy men to keep me warm,” she said and held his gaze.
“Do we really need to go? Couldn’t we just do it another time?” Voight asked and Louis chuckled. “Having to wait all day and night to be able to make love to our woman is going to be torture,” he said.
“I don’t know, there could be a few secret spots we might be able to disappear one by one to get a little. To get us through the hours,” Worin said, shocking them all.
Faith gasped. “Worin,” she scolded.
Hunt and Louis moved out of the way as Worin lifted her up off the truck as she straddled his waist in her skirt. His hand was on her ass, exposing the tiny pink thong panties she wore besides the sexy globes of her ass. “We’re soldiers, know how to improvise and remain undetected. You follow our orders, and we promise you’ll be satisfied.”
“Oh, brother,” she said and he spanked her ass. They laughed but then Worin cupped her cheek. He stared down into her eyes and she placed her palm against his cheek. “I love you,” he said to her.
“I love you, too. Love all of you so much, and you have no idea how much this means to me that you’re coming along to the fair, meeting my family, and everything.”
“Why wouldn’t we, sweetheart?” Hunt asked her as Worin kissed her lips and then set her feet down. She fixed her skirt as they all looked at her.
“I guess because I never made love before. Never fell in love and I want my family to meet the four men I’m making a commitment to and who are making a commitment to me. I feel nervous, excited and, well, embarrassed.”
“Embarrassed?” Voight asked and he pulled her into his arms.
She ran her hands up and down his forearms. “Uhm, my brother and cousin, my aunts and I are close, and well, I sort of mentioned you guys when I was there, and during the last couple of weeks I talked about all of you and liking you but being afraid.”
“Afraid?” Louis asked and caressed her hair.
“My family knew I never had sex before. Now I’m showing up with not one man, but four men, and ones like you. I won’t be able to not blush,” she said and then pressed her head to Voight’s chest.
“God damn, you sure are shy, even after begging for cock in every hole only about an hour ago,” Worin said to her.
“Worin,” she scolded and reached out to slap his arm as they laughed.
Voight squeezed her tighter, a hand on her ass and the other cupped her cheek. “You trusted us with that gift, and to know that we are the only men to ever make love to you, to take from this sexy, hot body, does things to us, woman. Makes us possessive, protective and we won’t be hiding that love for you from anyone.”
“Oh God, you’re going to make me blush all day and get hot flashes, aren’t you?” she asked.
“Need you even ask?” Louis said to her and gave her a wink.
“Let’s get a move on it, or we’ll be heading back inside for another round of lovemaking and never get to Warriorville,” Voight said to her.
“I’m all for that. God knows I hate fucking socializing,” Worin said and they all got into the truck, Hunt and Voight on either side of her in the backseat and Louis and Worin in the front with Louis driving.
“Hmm, I’m so glad we drew the straws for these seats. Aren’t you?” Voight said to Hunt as he eased his palm up under her skirt. Worin turned and started to kiss her neck and cupped her breast in the pretty lace top she wore.
“Oh yeah, lots of fun things to do with our woman for an hour drive.”
“Don’t you dare. I can’t be showing up all flushed and sticky,” she said and crossed her legs and placed her hands on her lap.
“Sticky, huh? Hmm, I could lick you clean, baby, and you won’t be sticky at all,” Voight said to her.
“Oh Jesus, how the fuck am I supposed to drive with a hard-on?” Louis asked.
“Suck it up, bro, you and Worin get to be with her in the back seat on the way home, and in the dark,” Hunt said and they carried on about all the things they could do to her in the dark as she sat there turning red as a cherry and shaking her head. Hunt couldn’t help but to smile wide. They found their mate, their woman to complete their family and their team, and he never felt so happy and positive about the future. As he thought that thought an uneasy feeling simmered in his gut. He wanted her with them all the time. He didn’t want to be apart from her, and he prayed that their love was strong enough to survive anything, including her idea about working in Warriorville and having to be away from them for four days out of the week. He just couldn’t think about that or the problems it would cause. He settled back in his seat and brought her hand to his lips to kiss her knuckles. She turned to look up at him. Her angelic face and smile instantly lit up his heart. He gave her a wink and she leaned her head against his shoulder then slid her palm over Voight’s thigh. Connected, a team, a family, the bond so incredibly strong and deep, and especially while making love proved that miracles could happen. Happiness could be achieved with the right people, the positive influences around you. Have a little Faith, like Louis said. Have a little Faith indeed, he thought and kissed her knuckles again then laid her hand on his thigh as they traveled down the country road and headed to meet her family.
* * * *
The music was playing in the park, a country music band that got everyone singing and dancing by the town center. Louis watched Faith as she spoke to some older men she had introduced them to a little while ago. Her brother, Toby, had said the four older men’s wife had babysat Faith when she was little, and that they served with her father, a Marine who died in combat when Faith was twelve. By fifteen her mom got sick, didn’t take care of herself because she had loved her husband so much she missed him, and gave up on life. She died when Faith was fifteen.
“She had a tough time, but for a petite little thing she’s tough. A lot tougher than she seems. You’ve all probably figured that out by now though, huh?” Toby asked Louis.
He took a sip from his beer and Toby did the same thing. “She’s pretty shy, and definitely has a big heart. She got through to Hunt and Worin, and that was something I feared wasn’t possible,” Louis said to him.
“You all are a lot older than her, maybe set in your ways, then add in Worin and Hunt suffering from PTSD and having been held prisoner the way they were and I had my concerns. Randal, as well,” Toby told him and held his gaze. Louis didn’t look away.
“They would never hurt her,” Louis replied, on the defensive.
“Not intentionally, and maybe not physically with you and Vought there, which is why ménage relationships work so well for certain teams of soldiers. She’s my sister though, and I know she has a big heart. That she wouldn’t back down.”
“We care about her. You should know that we’ve told her we love her, and we plan on claiming guardianship of her. You understand what that means? What that symbolizes in Cherry Hill?”
Toby stared at him and looked concerned and serious, and Louis respected that. Faith was his sister, and obviously from what he just learned, Faith had gone through a lot in her life and it was probably why she held back from being intimate with any man. He felt like a dick for admitting to himself that he was grateful she hadn’t been with other men. She truly only belonged to him and the team and always would. No other man would ever touch her or possess her body. He’d kill them.
“I can see it in your eyes, that you love her and I know she loves you guys. She had strong feelings for you before this past weekend,” he said knowingly.
“We’re going to take care of her and protect her.”
Toby nodded, then looked across the way as Faith was introducing Voight, Worin, and Hunt to three other young men
who hugged her and kissed her cheek.
“The Mallory brothers. Three Green Berets, active duty, who have had a thing for Faith since elementary school,” Toby said and took another slug from his bottle of beer. Louis felt jealous, sick to his stomach at the thought. At how young she was and how those men were closer to her age. But she was with them, and even as she introduced his team to those guys she held Worin around the waist and Hunt kept a hand on her shoulder and they all spoke nicely to one another.
“What are you going to do about her idea of coming here four days a week, sleeping over and helping to develop Warriors Way? You know, it’s her dream, too. To help soldiers and their families adapt?”
“I know it’s important to her and to us, too. One of the reasons why we left the town of Pearl was to be closer to our sister, who had been abducted and we thought was dead, but also to establish a safe location for other soldiers and some of our friends. Especially after seeing what Hunt and Worin went through,” he said and explained a bit about thinking they were dead, but that there hadn’t been any concrete proof they were killed. He gave a little information about their connections and how they risked their lives to go rescue Worin and Hunt without anyone knowing. He looked at them with Faith and they were actually smiling. Worin had a small grin on his face and that was huge.
“We almost lost it all, but moving to Cherry Hill, then finding Hunt and Worin and retiring together, has been a blessing. Meeting Faith, hell, I never would have expected that. Didn’t even bother to hope to meet a woman that would be ours to share, to claim and care for. She completes us though.” He chuckled and looked away. “Probably sounds kind of funny, but it’s like she was the last missing link that completes us as a team and a family.”
Toby chuckled. “Not funny at all. I can’t even tell you how many guys I know that found true love and a woman who could accept them as a team. It takes someone special, and I’m not just saying that because Faith is my sister either.”
Louis held his gaze. “So you’re okay with it, as her brother?”
“I understand it. I’ve seen men who lost faith in life, in ever feeling happy or even useful in a way, but when they found a woman to share, and had to provide for her and protect her, it completed them. Made them feel useful, and like they still had capabilities, not broken down useless abilities they could never use. You just remember to protect her with all you have. Randal and myself weren’t too happy when she decided to leave and move to Cherry Hill but we knew she needed a change for a bit and to do her own thing. She found you guys, but she’s still connected here.”
“We understand that. After talking to some friends of ours, and seeing this town, we can understand her love for it, and her need to help out.”
“It’s going to take its toll on your relationship, her leaving for four days at a time.”
“Not if one of us comes along with her, or all of us,” he replied, not really thinking about that until now. Why couldn’t they move here, too? Help out, as well? What were they doing in Cherry Hill anyway? They had the ranch with Zedock, Freeman, Denzel, and Mills, they could take it over with Genesis, and Louis and the team could move here to Warriorville and tell their friends about it. Spread the word about this town and what it had to offer military men and women looking for safety, and to heal.
“Are you serious?” Toby asked him. He drank down the rest of his beer.
“It just came to me actually,” he said and explained his line of thinking.
“Hmm, well, I would discuss it with Faith. She wouldn’t want you giving up something you enjoy, and your own plans for her. She’d spread herself thin for you. For most people she would.”
“I know. I have to discuss things with the others but maybe we would be able to do our part, as well. Contribute to building up Warriors Way, ya know?”
“Hell, that would be awesome. We could use the muscle and manpower, plus I hear you all are pretty good at construction.”
“We dabbled in it a bit. Have a knack for wiring things, if ya know what I mean?” Louis teased and Toby chuckled.
“It can be awesome, and maybe they’ll be some little ones in the near future, running around, kicking up trouble,” Toby said and Louis was shocked. He looked toward Faith. He could imagine her as a mommy, her belly round with their baby.
“Holy shit,” he whispered and Toby laughed but was smiling from ear to ear.
Faith walked over with the others and hugged Louis around his waist. He squeezed her tight, inhaled the scent of her shampoo and she smiled and squeezed her brother’s hand. “God, I forgot how awesome the fair is, and the town, the music and people. I can’t believe how many friends are here for this today,” she said and then released her brother’s hand as he slid off the back of the truck bed.
“Yeah, I saw you met up with the Malloy brothers. Broke their hearts introducing them to your men, huh?” he teased.
“Broke their hearts?” Hunt asked.
Toby chuckled. “Those three Green Berets have had it bad for Faith since elementary school,” he told them and winked.
She shook her head. “They did not,” she replied and crossed her arms in front of her chest.
Hunt pulled her close and kissed her neck. “You introduced us to three men who have the hots for you?” he asked. Louis watched Toby walk away and he laughed.
“I introduced you as my men, didn’t I?” she replied and Hunt turned her around and kissed her hard on the mouth. When he released her lips, she exhaled.
“She’s ours, and we’ll make sure everyone knows it,” he said and Louis pulled her close and kissed her next, then passed her to Voight, who kissed her deeply and then to Worin, who kissed her too before he held her with his arms wrapped around her as they stood surrounding her and watched and listened to the band playing. He saw how content the team looked, and he felt really happy and content, as well. Perhaps moving here to Warriorville could be exactly where they could set roots, and hell, maybe start a family of their own.
Chapter 7
“It’s going to be a bit tricky. I’ve been casing out the place for weeks now. Nighttime is the best time to hit it, and this weekend the guy is away. We got confirmation,” Benny said to Lance.
“Candice say anything else?” he asked.
“She just caught wind of the conversation, and the way we’ve been playing her for info on the townspeople has been perfect. She hasn’t a fucking clue.”
“No, she doesn’t even know we’ve been able to do these robberies undetected, no evidence left behind. Hell, it’s been even better than the last three towns.”
“We could fucking sit back and retire soon,” Benny said and laughed.
“Like that would fucking happen. Now what about any neighbors?” Lance asked and Benny looked at Turk and smirked.
“What?” Lance asked.
“Never guess who lives in the little house across the way.”
“Who?
“Faith.”
Lance widened his eyes. “What are you thinking?”
“I’m thinking that I’d really love a closer look at that body of hers.”
“Benny, come on, man, you can fuck any woman you basically want to.”
“Exactly, but that little angel, she’s pure. Candice said she’s a virgin.”
“What?” When did she say that?”
“She was blabbing about it the other night. Said Faith won’t accept any of her phone calls and that she was still upset with her over bringing her to Harold’s.”
“Yeah, she was a bitch, thinking she was too good for the place and for you.”
“No, think she was scared. Never had sex before, and was overwhelmed by men like us.” He licked his lips.
“What do you want to do?”
“Well, considering the guy we’re ripping off, that photographer, will be out of town, we could maybe swing by her place afterwards. Park the ATVs in the back woods, and I could have a little fun with her.”
“What if she recognizes y
ou?”
“I’ll wear a fucking mask, disguise my voice. Just have a little fun with her.”
“She is fucking hot, and has those big tits. She won’t be able to fight you off.”
“I know. Weak and pliant, the way I like them,” he said and leaned back in the chair and chuckled.
“Can I join in, too?” Turk asked.
“I get her first,” Benny said.
“I’m fine with that.”
“Let’s focus on this hit. If you two want to play fucking games, do it after the goods are stolen and then transported. I’ll take Vino with me and we’ll handle that while you two have your fun. Don’t mess her up too much though. She’s so pretty.”
“If she resists, she’ll suffer, but you’re right. I don’t want to go into Harper’s and see her battered a few weeks from now,” Benny said and smiled.
“Never know how I’ll be in the heat of the moment. Just looking at her gets me hard,” Benny added.
“Shit, she’ll be lucky you don’t kill her. Don’t fucking kill her, Benny. We’ll have every fucking cop across every state looking to nail us.”
Benny laughed. “I won’t kill her, but if she’s as good as I think, she may just be a keeper.”
Lance squinted at him and Benny held his gaze. “A fantasy come true. You won’t be the only one taking along a piece of ass to keep you warm at night.”
“Candice, you mean? Shit, I don’t think she would leave willingly.”
“Who said taking them willingly? We grab them and make them come with us. They won’t have a choice. They’ll get used to our commands and also how we’ll spoil them with clothes and shit,” Benny said confidently.
“Candice is definitely more of a materialistic bitch, but she gives good head so I gave her a bracelet, and she does what I want. This will work out well. Maybe be the last one for a while.”
Benny agreed but his mind was on Faith, and deciding when to take her.
