SEAL Team Seven Books 6&7 Quinn and Devon

by Jordan Silver

  My brothers and I shared a look. If’ they’d graduated to taking us out then the chips were down. “You sure Hank?”

  “Logan I’ll give you about one more day before you no longer ask me that. Of course I’m sure.”

  “They gotta ask spook boy, can’t nobody find shit on you.” Leave it to Lyon to put it so succinctly.

  “You said two things.” I was listening in but my mind was already with her. We kept our voices low so that they didn’t carry to the four girls in the sleep room in the back.

  “Yeah, you’ve got some heavy hitters involved here. This one goes all the way to the top boys.” We already knew or suspected that to some degree, but having verification changes everything.

  “Yeah we know about the asshole senator.” Lyon chimed in. “Who else you got?”

  “Generals and a few low key players. And this definitely goes back to your guy in the desert.”

  We spent the next forty-five minutes shooting around ideas about the best course of action. “So basically you’re saying Law and I got snagged in his net because we worked for your CO a time or two.”

  “Sorry about that boys, but that’s the way it’s looking. I think this thing started long before any of us came on board though.” Since Lo was letting me run this show, I filled the others in on what we’d found.

  Now that we’d got the women out of the line of fire it was easy to focus more fully and shit started falling into place.

  We didn’t know all the men the old man had mentioned in his codes neither did we know where to find them.

  If Khalil was exacting revenge for some past wrong we needed to find all these people and make sure they were okay.

  We got to our destination in less than half the time it would’ve taken if we weren’t riding in a top of the line Gulf Stream that seemed to just cut through the clouds.

  There were a coupla cars waiting for us when we landed and a lone man standing outside the first one. He looked kinda relaxed for someone who’d been dragged out of his bed in the middle of the night.

  We got the girls off and kept them between us and him as we walked forward following Hank. As we got closer I saw that this guy was about our age give or take.

  “Gentlemen I’d like to introduce you to Gideon Thorpe. Other than myself he’s the leading authority on the underground trafficking world. He got dragged into it by default when his wife became a target of sorts.”

  Thorpe came forward and shook each of our hands, looking at us like he was sizing us up. “Gentlemen!”

  “I already told Gideon part of the situation but if anyone wants to add anything feel free.”

  “I got all I need.” He whistled and two people stepped out of the backseat of the second car.

  “Gentlemen my wife Ashley.” He wrapped his arm around the shoulders of the woman who didn’t look old enough to be anyone’s wife but who was obviously pregnant.

  “And her brother Jacob.” A young man held out his hand before the two of them flanked her on either side like they were ready for anything.

  “Take the girls to the car Blossom.” He kissed her head and she moved over to the four girls who were standing around huddled together.

  “Wait!” I walked over before they could be loaded into the car. I looked them over, especially Cara. “You’ll be safe here until this whole thing is over. Your dads will get in touch with you soon and as soon as we get things settled I’ll bring Kelly to see you guys.”

  They all hugged me which was surprising because I didn’t remember doing anything to warrant it. Then they went down the line thanking the others which seemed to embarrass them no end.

  We didn’t get to follow to see where they were being taken which didn’t sit very well with us, but this Thorpe guy wasn’t taking any chances it seems.

  He reassured us that they’d be fine and that he’d keep in contact with us. I didn’t know that Mancini had worked it out so that their dads could come to them when the coast was clear.

  Back on the plane I laid my head back and processed all that had happened in the last twenty-four hours. Has it only been twenty-four? Damn, felt like a lifetime.

  Quinn

  I must’ve dozed off because when I woke up again we were landing. I didn’t feel bad about rushing to see her since all the others had pretty much the same idea.

  I don’t know what I’d expected once we got here but I should’ve known by now that Mancini never did the expected.

  It was obvious that we were on an island somewhere but which one it wasn’t easy to tell. There was a cliff and waves crashing against the rocks.

  Off in the distance there was a mansion, and behind that in what looked like acres of gardens were cottages, or villas, I couldn’t tell from this far out.

  “Whoa, fuck, I’m not gonna get Kat’s ass off this shit.” Lyon looked at us like we’d committed a crime before heading for the line of cars that were waiting for us.

  We’d sent all our stuff ahead with the women so there was nothing to offload except the cache of weapons.

  As we drew up we saw the women sitting out front the mansion watching the kids play. I searched her out and relaxed once I saw her in the midst of the girls.

  She was laughing at something Dani was saying, head thrown back and so damn beautiful I ached. She saw me somehow and got up from her chair.

  I stopped moving even as my brothers and the others kept going. She ran by them and right into my arms like it was something she did everyday and my beast put his head down.

  “Hi baby!” My arms went around her as her legs came around my waist. Our lips met and my beast came fully awake again.

  “Are my girls okay?” She whispered in my ear before getting down off of me. “Yeah baby they’re good. Their dads are gonna go see them later and once we’ve got everything cleared up they’ll be back home before you know it.”

  “Then we’d better get to work, they’ve been through enough already.” She took my hand and led me back to the others.

  “We…are not doing anything babe, I’ll take it from here.” She actually looked over her shoulder and smiled at me.

  I kinda thought the smile looked a bit condescending but I wasn’t exactly sure until the next words out of her mouth.

  “Aw, you’re so cute. Your sisters, who I love by the way, told me you’d try something like that. But see, I’m the one who was closest to those freaks so I’m thinking you’re gonna need me.”

  Wait, there’s shit she didn’t tell me? There was something going on once we got back to the others and from the body language it looked like a girls against boys sorta deal.

  “Ah damn, what?” I looked from Lo to Con then to Lyon who seemed to be in a staring match with his wife who ignored him as she rubbed the huge mound of her tummy.

  There was only one face I didn’t recognize. Mancini’s wife looked like a completely different person once she was dressed in her own designer clothes and didn’t have bed head.

  Ty stepped up to answer. ‘Well, far as I can tell. In the time it took us to get here Hank’s woman told this lot a little more than we had.”

  She shrugged her shoulders and sipped her tropical juice like she didn’t just open Pandora’s box. “No one told me I wasn’t supposed to, and since this involves them as well, I thought they had a right to know.”

  There were groans from all the men including me, but the women looked cool. This shit smacked of a setup, like they’d banded together in the two minutes it took us to get here.

  Fucking women, it took us weeks and sometimes months to form a bond as a team. It takes them less time than it does to put on lipstick. All eyes went to Hank to do something about his woman.

  “Don’t look at me.” Mancini backed away with his hands in the air but there was no way to miss the grin on his face as he turned to go inside.

  “By the way Quinn congratulations.” Dani’s comment was followed by the other women’s, who once they were done giving me a round of hugs
, turned their attention to Devon.

  “Oh fu…hell no.” He followed Mancini inside leaving the rest of us to deal with our mess. “Kat, time for a nap.” Lyon tried pulling his wife up from her seat.

  “I’m not sleepy.” She didn’t budge.

  “Babe, you’ve been up all night those kids need their rest. Speaking of which, where’s Mengele?” “Colton, don’t call her that in front of company.”

  “I’m pretty sure they know. It only takes five minutes for those blonde curls and that innocent little girl look to lose it’s cover power.”

  I think everyone else was trying not to laugh, but Kat looked ready to kill.

  “I think we all could use some rest.”

  Lo, either trying to diffuse the situation or trying to waylay the women who actually thought we were going to let them in on what we were doing, piped in.

  He wasn’t fooling anyone, and when the women all looked around the table I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who noticed the nod between Lyon’s wife and the rest of them before they suddenly agreed. “Great, you guys can put the kids down for a nap.”

  She passed Lyon their youngest who’d been resting on Dani’s lap and Nessa passed Zakira to her dad.

  They made a beeline for the garden and the cottages beyond which apparently had already been divided up.

  I counted three men roaming the grounds back there but I’m sure Kelly never noticed them they were that good.

  I wasn’t sure what just happened back there and why the women had caved so easily, but I wasn’t sure I trusted it.

  LYON

  ‘This is some place huh!” We were the only couple other than Mancini and his woman who were staying in the big house because of our battalion of kids.

  Thank fuck, if I had to stay in one of those matchboxes with my brood I’d lose my damn mind.

  Not that I don’t love my kids, but damn they can get into some shit. “You been keeping an eye on Mengele right.” I put the baby down in the adjoining room and hoped he stayed down.

  “Colton, I wish you’d leave our daughter alone.”

  “Yeah, there’s a cliff out there, you won’t be saying that shit when she chucks one of your kids off that shit.”

  My fucking kid; gotta love her. All the way to the SEALs place she must’ve asked me a thousand questions about what was going on.

  All the other kids bought the vacation bullshit we sold them, not her. Her ass was probably listening in at doors and shit and knew that something was up.

  Right now I’m more interested though in my wife and what she was up to. That little mini mutiny outside just now smacked of her meddling shit.

  “Colton,” She hush whispered at me. “Why are you taking off your clothes? We can’t have sex here.” She looked around the room like there was someone hiding in the corners or some shit.

  “Pretty sure they already know we fuck Kat.” I pointed at her tummy and she growled. I notice she’s been getting worst with each pregnancy. Her hormones are probably outta whack or some shit.

  “Maybe you should take yours off, then again better not, sure as fuck one of your nosy ass kids gonna be at that door in the next five minutes. Lucky for you that’s all the time I need.”

  “All the time you need for what?” She scooted back on the bed like that was gonna work. My baby never learns.

  I came down on the bed over her, caging her in. It was easy enough peeling the mom jeans off down her thighs and lifting her shirt up over her gigantic amazing tits.

  My dick leaked at the sight of her. Her hand came up and played with my cock piercing and my eyes damn near crossed.

  When she started stroking me I forgot what the fuck I was supposed to be doing in here, and when she slid down beneath me between my thighs and took the head of my cock in her mouth, I lost all fucking thought.

  “Damn baby, shit. Fuck Kat!” Her freaky ass hummed around my meat and sent electric shocks up my spine. She trailed her nails down the back of my thighs and I knew she meant business.

  I pulled out of her mouth and went to put her legs on my shoulders. “No Colton I wanna be on top.” I looked at her suspiciously but got on my back.

  She only likes doing this shit when she wants something. It’s her position of power. Uh-huh. Little sneak is up to some shit.

  She teased my cock back and forth over her dripping pussy folds before taking me in and sitting herself all the way down on my throbbing cock.

  “Damn, how is your pussy still so tight?” I grabbed her hips and fucked up into her, forgetting all about why the hell I’d brought her in here in the first place.

  “Ah damn Kat, kiss me.” I needed her to swallow my growl before the whole damn island knew what the hell we were up to in here.

  She did that clench and release thing with her pussy which was a couple degrees hotter because of the baby in her womb and I started shooting off inside her.

  KAT

  I gave the others time to get their jobs done before sneaking out of the room. He looked so perfect sleeping there that I was tempted to kiss him, but I didn’t want to risk waking him.

  I’d had the better part of last night and this morning when we got here to talk to the girls. We’ve been keeping in touch since meeting over the holidays but it’s not the same as being in the same room together.

  I’d spent that time wisely. Since my husband and theirs weren’t sharing I knew we’d have to go all commando to find out anything.

  I would ask Meng…I mean Catalina to spy since she’s so good at it, but I’m trying not to do that. The child is scary enough as it is without me encouraging her.

  Once we got to meet Kelly who filled in a little bit more of the puzzle, we put our heads together and came up with a plan.

  Cierra being a bona fide agent was going to come in handy as well, but it was agreed that we just have to get the men out of the way first.

  I’ve learned and have been teaching them how to work around hardheaded alpha males. I should be a damn expert. I’ve lived with my nut for the better part of seventeen years. They’re newbies.

  I snuck out of the room, knowing he was going to be pissed once he wakes up. I figured since they were up all night and us girls had had a few hours down time, they’d be tired once they got here.

  Each woman had her job to do and then we were going to meet in the media room where Cierra was going to use her credentials to get us some information.

  The only hitch was the kids who were so excited at being at the beach, but Hank had thought of everything and there was a complete staff here, including nannies. If I could just keep Catalina occupied for a while that’d be great.

  I snuck along the hallway and down the stairs without seeing anyone else. The Mancinis were on the other side of the house in a separate wing and the others were occupying the cottages.

  I wasn’t worried about the older kids. Caitlin stays on her phone with Todd, the twins and Caleb are boys who’re always into gross but safe things, and Cody’s too young to get out of his crib.

  But Catalina; there’s no getting away from the fact that she needs twenty-four hour supervision. I knew these ‘nannies’ were some kind of Special Forces.

  You can’t live around Colton Lyon all these years and not know when someone was carrying, but I have yet to meet the man or woman who can outsmart my kid.

  I prayed for peace and waited for the others as I looked out the window. In the distance I saw Catalina and little Zakira on the beach with one of the nannies walking behind.

  At least that should keep her quiet for a while. She likes having someone younger than her to boss around since her brothers and sister wouldn’t let her, and Cody was too young.

  Devon

  I escaped into the woods around the property to get away from my sisters and the other women. I knew this shit was going to happen, and now I’m marooned on this damn island with water on one side and a steep cliff on the other.

  The only escape was the thick woods way o
ff on the other side in back of the property. I figured they’d had enough time to turn their minds to something else, so once I’d done some recon I decided to head back.

  I had my head down in deep thought, wondering if there was any truth to what the others kept saying, that I was next.

  A part of me was excited at the thought that there might be someone out there waiting for me. And then there was the part of me that didn’t believe it.

  Something, some movement up ahead alerted me. I was about to call out to Dani from my place in the trees but there was something about her movements that tipped me off. “What the hell is she up to?”

  I watched her tiptoe away from the door of the cottage taking sneak peaks behind her as if expecting Lo to come after her.

  I would’ve laughed it off but then I saw Gaby and the others acting pretty much the same way and knew I was right, they were up to something. “Well shit!”

  I’ve been riding herd on these women long enough to know the signs and this shit spells trouble. If they weren’t so damn cunning this shit would be funny.

  The five of them on their own are enough of a headache, but now they have reinforcements, which if anyone had listened to me they would’ve known to be on their guard for.

  But I knew even if my brothers didn’t, that getting these women together could be trouble. After they all met at Lyon’s place over the holidays, they’ve become thick as thieves.

  I know Lo and Con thought they’d put paid to their sticking their noses into shit that didn’t concern them, but I knew better. I saw their faces that night and knew damn good and well they weren’t going to leave this shit alone.

  Used to be Quinn and I would be the ones to see through their shit since we were the only ones not entangled, but now he’d joined the ranks of the witless.

  I wasn’t surprised when I saw his woman sneaking out of their cottage and tiptoeing away towards the mansion after the others.
