“I understand. No one saw this coming, or would even think anything like this would happen. I’m thinking things through myself. I don’t want anything to happen to Caden, Simon, and Aqua. I may need to hold off on dating them.”
“Oh boy, they won’t take that well.”
“They will have to adjust, at least until we get better info on this and see what we’re dealing with. I’m going to help Pierre and them with more info tonight. I’ll see you in another day.”
He said good-bye and then ended the call and walked back over toward them.
“What did April have to say?” Zayn asked.
“She heard about Katie from Amelia. She feels terrible. She’s exhausted and working hard, and said we’ll get together when she returns.”
“When is that, did she say?” Simon asked.
“She wasn’t sure last time we spoke to her,” Aqua added.
“She mentioned Tuesday or Wednesday. I’m sure she’ll call you. When we were talking, someone was beeping in and she had to go,” Mike said, but he could tell the three men weren’t happy at all.
Then Simon’s cell phone rang. He answered it and looked at his brothers. “It’s April,” he said, and their expressions changed from angry to straight-faced.
* * * *
“Hey, baby. Long day?”
“Oh God, so very long. I can’t believe what Amelia told me about Mike. I just called him. I feel terrible. Does Caden know anything?” she asked him.
“He’s working on it, but since there was a struggle and there was blood, detectives and some special agents are involved now. It’s crazy. How is your hotel? Are you safe? Is security good?” he asked, and she chuckled.
“I’m in a suite with a fully stocked bar, refrigerator, room service, my own personal assistant for any needs or desires I might have, so I think I’m fine.” She giggled.
“Every need and desire?” he asked as Caden and Aqua joined him. Their eyes widened, and he covered the mouthpiece and told them about her suite. Caden looked annoyed and rolled his eyes.
“Well, maybe not every need and desire. So how are you guys? The town must be buzzing with concerns. Any leads?”
“None, and people are shaken up because they know Katie from her being a nurse at the hospital. We’re hoping these detectives can get something soon. The more hours that pass, the more difficult it is to find someone who has been taken.”
“I know. Let’s pray she’s found safe and sound.”
“So, when will you have this deal sealed up?”
“Ahh, the ten-million-dollar question. I don’t know. He’s being resistant, but this trip was necessary, and I think after the meeting in the morning, I should have a better idea. I made some additional contacts and will be pretty busy for a while when I return. My boss was here, too. He’s quite the character, and he shows a bit of favoritism, which leads to more work for me. Anyway, I don’t want to bore you with the details. I know you’re at Corporal’s. How are Caden and Aqua? Is Caden handling this abduction okay, or is the media all over him?”
“I’ll put him on. He’s doing well, and surprisingly the media isn’t harassing him anymore. They got their little clip for the news earlier today. I miss you, baby. Can’t wait until you’re back.”
“I miss you, too.”
He handed the phone to Caden. “She’s worried about you and handling this abduction,” he whispered and handed Caden the phone.
* * * *
Caden took the phone.
“Hey, sweetie, when you coming home?” he asked all serious.
“Soon, Caden. How are you holding up?”
“I’m fine. Don’t you worry about me. How is this deal going?”
“Taking forever. I just filled in Simon, so he can tell you. I’m not sure if I’ll be back tomorrow night or earlier. Can you take care of Mike please? I’m sure he’s going crazy. Even though he just met Katie and things happened over the weekend, he likes her.”
“We will, don’t you worry. Just can’t wait to have you back in our arms.”
“Let me say hello to Aqua, and then I’m going back onto the computer before a hot bath and bed.”
“You sure security is good there?”
“Yes, Chief, it’s safe.”
“Okay, talk to you tomorrow. Here’s Aqua.”
Aqua took the phone from Caden, and Caden listened as he spoke to Simon.
“I miss her. How does she sound to you?”
“Tired and a bit distant, like laying groundwork for more busy things with work and making new contacts, thanks to her boss who is there, too.”
“Fuck, I wonder who he is. Think he’s hitting on her?” Caden asked, and Simon put on a mean face.
“I expect you back real soon, and we’ll be there to greet you then take you to bed. I miss that sexy body, and that firm round ass pressed against my cock,” Aqua told her, and Caden and Simon chuckled and shook their heads. Thank goodness no one could hear Aqua. He winked at them and then spoke softly to her. “I expect a call as soon as you know you’re leaving and what time that limo will drop you off at your house. We’ll be waiting,” he said and then talked a little longer before ending the call and handing the phone to Simon.
“Goddamn I miss her,” Aqua said and then took his beer from the bar and guzzled it down.
“We do, too. I just want her back here in our arms, safe and sound. The idea that some creep is out there and abducted Katie makes me feel even more protective,” Simon said.
“I can’t believe we feel like this. I mean, we’re fucking Seals, and this woman has us all crazy inside,” Simon said.
“This is fucking torture. That’s what it is,” Aqua stated.
“Well, we better get used to it if she’s going to be our woman. She has a career and needs to travel. Next time she’s heading overseas, she said,” Simon added.
“Don’t remind me. Let’s just get her back here to Mercy as soon as possible. I’m uneasy not knowing where she is, who is near her, and what guys are hitting on her.”
“Aqua, she isn’t going to cheat on us. She doesn’t even date,” Simon replied.
“We don’t know what she does or even fully what kind of woman she is. We just know the lust, the attraction is there, and when we’re all making love it’s fucking incredible. Now we have to find out deeper things.”
“Sounds like a plan for when she returns,” Simon said then took a slug from his bottle of beer.
“Maybe we’ll get around to it, but first things first when she gets home. Straight to bed and maybe we’ll let her out by the weekend,” Caden told them, and they chuckled then clinked their beer bottles together. Caden couldn’t help but to smile. April brought them even closer together than they were before, and on top of that she could be the one woman to make their lives complete. So why was he feeling a bit of trepidation in his gut?
Chapter Seven
“Well, Pierre, one of my teams spotted a redhead being brought from a plane to the jeeps at the air mat in Syria. It has to be that Katie woman who was abducted,” Colonel Brothers said to him.
“Son of a bitch, these guys are out for revenge, yet no one went after Mike. I don’t get it.”
“Well, they could have gone after her because she was with him, and that was it. Or maybe they just had an order for a redhead. These fucking guys are ruthless, though I have to say from past experience she must be a bit important and like they want to keep her alive. Otherwise, she would be with all the other women they abduct and then sell off as sex slaves. It makes me sick, and we can’t do a thing about it.’
“That isn’t our mission or yours, but it seems to be pointing toward this sex slave business as well as guns and heroin. What I’m afraid of is these inquiries over who April is.”
“Could be that they saw her with Mike and then got thrown off when Mike hooked up with the redhead, so they went after her.”
“Could be, but then these guys show up and they know April is in the hotel. The guy approach
es, and she spotted two others immediately before this guy shows up. They converse, and she gets suspicious. We got his name and had him followed until he got out near the department stores and the limo left. We lost him.”
“Nothing came up on the computers?”
“Not yet. I got people working on things. April headed out to the airport. She wanted to get home to help with the case with Mike.”
“She should be lying low. Did you tell her about Evan and the connection to those Seals she’s seeing?”
“Not yet. I think if I do let her know that they knew Evan and he had been part of their team for a few years that she might break things off. She’s fighting things tooth and nail.”
“Can’t blame her. She could have died out there. When she took out those men and saved my guys and my life, it was incredible.”
“Then you guys saved hers and got her medical attention before she bled out.”
“Was a miracle all around. I’ll keep watch on the redhead. You guys keep doing your intel, and we’ll do ours. Something has to give. Some indication that a deal is going to happen and soon,” Colonel said, and Pierre agreed. Something had to give soon. They were close, but they had to keep digging.
* * * *
When the car pulled up, she caught sight of the truck and the three large men leaning back against it with the tailgate down. They had a case of beer and several pizza boxes. She smiled at the sight. The limo stopped, and the driver got her bags as the men approached. Simon pulled her into his arms, and she squeezed him tight.
“Missed you so damn much,” he said to her.
“I missed you, too,” she replied. She pulled back and thanked the driver, and then Simon took her bags. Aqua hugged her next. He kissed her tenderly and ran his hand over her ass and then cupped her breast.
When he released her lips, he growled. “You got my dick so hard, baby. I need you desperately.” He nipped her lip. She felt the need, too. She truly missed them.
“Get the pizza and the beer. She looks hungry and tired,” Caden ordered, and Aqua gave her a wink and released her. She pulled the strap of her bag onto her shoulder, and Caden looked her over. “Get over here, woman. What are you doing wearing something so sexy and without us with you?” he asked, looking at the slim-fitting business dress in navy blue. She went right to him and hugged him tight. He squeezed her to him and then kissed her neck and inhaled. “Missed you so much.”
“Me too,” she said, and then they headed toward the front door. She reached into her purse and undid the locks and disarmed the alarm. They entered, and Simon locked the door behind them.
They placed the pizza boxes down on the counter and the beer, too. She slid off her heels and then wiggled her toes. “God, I’m so tired.” She exhaled.
“Come sit down and eat something,” Simon told her.
“Let me grab some paper plates,” she said.
“Point and I’ll get them. You sit down,” Aqua said, and she smiled and pointed to the closet. He pulled them out, and then they started passing along slices of pizza and handed her a beer.
She took a few bites, then a sip of beer as she watched them eating and drinking. Her pussy clenched, and her nipples hardened. They were so sexy, so big and muscular and all hers. She missed them. Who was she kidding? She wanted them. She dropped the piece of pizza down on the paper plate, wiped her mouth, and then took a sip of beer. She stood up.
“What do you need?” Aqua asked. She stepped between his legs. He dropped the pizza down on the plate, and she slid her palms up his chest.
“You. All three of you,” she told him and stood up on tiptoes to reach his lips. He immediately picked her up and kissed her. She straddled his hips, and he carried her to her bedroom. She heard the chairs at the counter scraping and then footsteps following. Aqua released her lips and set her feet down on the floor. A second set of hands unzipped her dress and pressed the material down. Aqua stared at her breasts as they fell from the top. “I need so bad I ache,” he said to her. Her dress fell to the rug. Simon pushed her panties down, and then Aqua cupped her breasts. She moaned, but she needed, too. She stepped from her panties and then lowered to her knees, undid Aqua’s pants, and shoved them down. As he tried stepping out of them, she licked his cock from balls to tip and then took him into her mouth. She began to suck, and he moaned and gripped her hair.
“Damn, woman,” he said, and she felt Simon kneel down behind her, kiss her shoulder, wrap an arm around her waist, and slide fingers into her cunt from behind.
“Spread those thighs, and let me in. Let me see how wet and ready you are for your men,” he said, and she moaned and rocked her hips.
Simon gripped her hair, caressed it, and then gave it a tug. Her eyes darted to Caden who was naked and holding his cock in his other hand. She slid her mouth from Aqua’s and went to suck Caden’s. Back and forth, she took turns sucking each of them when she felt Simon replace fingers with his cock. She jerked forward, her cheek against Caden’s cock as he caressed her hair, and Simon thrust into her pussy from behind. She pulled back and went to suck on Aqua’s cock. She went back and forth, and then Caden lay down on the bed, legs spread wide and his cock in his hand. His legs were over the edge. She slid her palms along his thighs, and then Simon pulled out, lifted her up, and deposited her onto Caden. She ran her hands up his chest and kissed him as Simon licked her from cunt to asshole back and forth. He slid a finger into her cunt and then one into her ass. She moaned, pulled from Caden’s lips, and lifted up. He gripped her hips, and she lowered her pussy to his cock, taking him deep to her womb. They both exhaled. She felt fingers stroking her ass, the bed dip, and now Aqua was naked and holding his cock.
“Together the way it will always be,” he said to her. His words fired her up and made her want things and pretend for now that she had a different life and that danger wasn’t hiding around a corner nearby. She opened wide and took his cock into her mouth as Caden thrust upward. Caden pinched her nipple and tugged on it. He cupped her breast as he rocked his hips, and she suckled harder, faster, bobbing her head up and down on Aqua’s cock. Then she felt Simon replace his fingers with his cock and slide into her asshole. The four of them moaned, and it was on. Like wild needy lovers who had been apart for months and the reunited, they thrust and stroked into one another over and over again. It was like no one wanted to come. They wanted the sensations, the deep connection to last, and it did. The orgasms hit her one after the next, and then finally Aqua came in her mouth. She licked him clean and then moaned and cried out another release. Simon came in her ass, smacked it several times, and then kissed her back as he slid from her body. Caden rolled her to her back, spread her arms above her head, and hammered into her cunt over and over again before he poured his seed into her womb. He hugged her to him and kissed her everywhere he could. “I missed you, sugar. So very much.”
“I missed you, too,” she whispered, and then they all snuggled on the bed until her stomach began to growl.
“Ready for some more pizza and then back to bed?” Caden asked, stroking her hip and then clenching her chin before kissing her again.
“Bed to sleep. I’m so tired. I didn’t sleep well,” she admitted.
“Worrying about Mike and Katie?” Simon asked.
“Yes, and missing the three of you.” She leaned forward and kissed Caden on the lips then to his chest.
* * * *
Mike headed out of the department. He was exhausted and knew that he needed sleep. As he got into the car and began to drive, his cell phone rang. He answered it, stifling a yawn. “Yeah.”
“Where are you?”
“Heading home.”
“Don’t. We got word that some men who were working for Vince Turbin, and are considered trackers, are in the vicinity, and considering that we still don’t have concrete information on those men in New York who spoke to April, we shouldn’t take any chances,” Pierre told him.
“What do you suggest I do? Head back to the department?”
“Head out of town. Go to the hotel. I’ve got a team there on standby.”
Mike gripped the steering wheel, and as he came to the red light and turned on his blinker, he saw the truck heading straight toward him.
“Too late. They found me.”
“What?” Pierre yelled. Mike stepped on the gas to make the turn, and the truck rammed into him. He lost complete control of the vehicle, slammed his head forward, his body crushed from the metal, and his car flipped over. It happened so quickly. The crashing sound, the rev of the engine, his body slamming forward, backward, then side to side as the car flipped and ended upside down. Then came the truck again slamming into it. He was going to die. Son of a bitch. He lost his focus, and they won. Katie would die if she weren’t dead already.
* * * *
“What the fuck do you mean a truck slammed into him? Is he dead?” Aqua asked Caden as he joined him in the kitchen. Caden was on the phone. He had missed several calls and messages from the department and from Zayn and Watson. He was on the phone with Watson now.
“Something fucking strange is going on here. First Katie and then Mike. Do you think he was involved with something, a case or whatever, and these men are out for revenge?” Zayn asked.
“I’m thinking the same thing, but first things first, we have to tell April. She’ll be so upset. She’s showering right now, and we were getting ready to make some breakfast. She’ll want to get to the hospital,” Caden said and looked at Aqua. Simon entered the room, hair still wet from his shower with April, and he was smiling. Caden felt his chest tighten. Simon stopped short.
“What?” he asked.
Caden spoke into the phone.
“We’ll get April, and we’ll meet you at the hospital.” He ended the call.
“Hospital? Who?” Simon asked.
“Mike. Someone tried to kill him early this morning. They slammed into his car with a large box truck. He’s alive,” Caden told him then heard his cell phone go off. He squinted at what he read.
