“I know.” Milo caressed his cheek softly. “I knew it the moment I saw you. You just took some time catching up to me on account of the uniform.” Milo grinned and Samuel laughed.
“I’ve grown to appreciate that uniform on you, Officer.”
“You’ll have time to appreciate it more when we get home.”
Samuel jumped up and down in his arms and gave him a wide smile. “I miss Daniel so much. When can we fly home?”
“Today. The doctor is checking you out this afternoon and we can fly back to the UK.” Milo started running the bath. “You still have… blood and makeup on which the nurses couldn't get off with a sponge bath.”
“Oh.” Samuel looked underneath his gown and saw Milo was right about the blood—not loads, just a staining on his skin—and then he checked his reflection and saw his eyes still held a thin line of kohl under them and his mascara was still on his lashes. “You should have said. I just stood there and said all that with this on my face.” He pouted at Milo and got a deep laugh back in response.
“Princess, you look gorgeous. Even dressed up in heels and a dress, I thought so.” Milo was stripping off his shirt as he spoke.
Samuel swayed his hips while he thought.
Milo looked up at him. “If you like that…dressing up, that’s okay, you know. It’s you. You want to wear a dress and heels one night when I take you out, then do it. Just give me a heads up if you’re thinking about a sex change.”
“I wouldn’t do that. I like being a man. I like my cock and I like what you do to it.” They grinned at each other then Samuel pulled off his gown and hung it over the small window on the door so no one could see them from the bedroom. “Thank you.”
“For what?” Milo stepped into the bath and offered his hand to Samuel, looking at the dark bruise on his ribs where Boris kicked him, but Samuel tilted his head up and kissed him.
“For being so understanding.”
“You will always be you. Even if you dressed up as a sheep and crawled around, it would be you, just a… different, fluffier version of you.”
Samuel tilted his head and lifted a brow. “I won't be doing that. But… I like the silk underwear and sexy stockings.”
Milo cleared his throat and Samuel chuckled, going for his cock and stroking him.
“I think you like that too.”
“You in stockings…” Milo pretended to think hard about it then laughed. “Yeah, I could see those long legs wearing some sheer stocking while they were wrapped around my back as I…”
“Fucked me so hard the bed broke,” Samuel finished off for him, feeling Milo’s cock growing harder with his words.
“Yeah,” Milo said huskily, looking down into Samuel’s eyes.
“I want that, Milo. I want it from both of you.”
“Samuel.” Milo held his head and captured his mouth in another powerful kiss, leaving them both hard and ready for more when they separated. “Get in and let me wash that fucker’s touch from your body once and for all. Then…” Milo helped him sink into the hot water and ran his hands over the braid in his hair. “Then this needs to come down so I can fist it in my hands while I kiss you unconscious.”
“Sounds like a good plan.” Samuel reached back and began untwining his hair while Milo washed his chest. “Was it you who found me?”
“Yes. Even dressed up and looking like a supermodel, I saw you. I always will do. You're beautiful, man or woman. I love you for being you, and you’re a wondrous person, Samuel Tate.”
“Thank you. So are you. You and Daniel make me feel comfortable with myself. I’ve never had that before.”
“I told you, Princess—” Milo kissed his nose making him smile. “However you dress, or whatever you do to your hair…” Milo ran his fingers through Samuel’s long locks, freeing it and laying it around his shoulders. “If you wear silk knickers or shorts, if you decide to wear heels on a date or trainers, it’s still you and we’ll both love you no matter what.”
“You'd not be ashamed of me if I went out in heels and a sexy dress?”
“Samuel…” Milo laughed and ran his fingers over his face. “I’ve never found women sexually attractive, but I find their outfits and the way they move alluring. They’re like another species to me, and you… you have the best of both. I don’t see you as female, but I know you're more than just an average man. So, saying all that, I thought you looked like the most beautiful person in the world when I saw you in that airport waiting room. I meant it when I said you could be a catwalk model. Male or female, it doesn’t matter because you wore the dress and those heels like they were made for you.” Milo kissed him again, shifting Samuel onto his thighs and holding him close. “I'd be proud to hold your hand and take you out for dinner wearing something like that, and so would Danny. But I'd be just as proud if you wore jeans and trainers. As long as you're with us, I'm happy.”
“I'm always happy with you two. I haven't been so happy in my life before.”
“That's how we both feel too. We need you. We’re nothing without you.”
“You're everything to me, Milo. You and Daniel. Everything.”
Milo gazed into Samuel’s eyes and smiled. “You're our whole world. When you were taken from us, everything stopped, even our hearts. I didn’t feel it beat once until I saw you again.”
“Then I’ll make sure never to be far from you again.”
“Thank you.” Milo kissed him softly. “I love you, Samuel.”
Chapter 33
Daniel paced around the airport waiting room, ignoring the looks he kept getting from Dalton and the other guys who were with him. He’d been glad of Dalton’s company, even if he hadn't really shown it, but he was the only really familiar face around him. Milo and Samuel would be here soon. It was nearly eleven and he hadn't slept for three days, not since Samuel had been taken. He crashed out for three hours after speaking to Samuel when he was rescued, but that was more like a coma than sleep. His body just couldn't take the amount of stress it was under and crashed.
“Calm down, Danny. You're killing me here.” Dalton stroked his back gently and Daniel blew out a big breath.
“I just want them home, you know. I want to hold them, feel them, check them out. Talking over the phone isn't enough.”
“I know.” Dalton made him sit down and pressed some tea in his hands. “Drink it, you need the sugar.”
Daniel sipped it while he looked at the door, waiting for someone to tell him the plane had landed and they were back on English soil. Just having them in the same country as him would be a bonus.
Dalton’s radio went off and Daniel listened as he talked to the other police officers outside. He stood up when he heard the plane had taxied to the gate and they would be getting off soon.
“We can walk to the gate. Please, just stay close to me, huh? You run off, I look bad.” Dalton gave him a smile, pearly white teeth shining in the bright light.
“I promise, no running.”
“Thanks.” Dalton opened the door, keeping hold of his elbow. “Just in case.” He rolled his blue eyes when Daniel frowned at him. “You have just been involved in one of the biggest international kidnapping slash drug bust slash Russian mafia boss case in recent times. So, you know.” Dalton squeezed his elbow and led him down the corridor. “I’ll be glad to have Aladdin back. I’ve kinda missed him. Even my morning gym routine has been missing a certain big mouthed, bull headed prick hovering over me, and I don’t mean my personal trainer.”
“Aladdin?” Daniel lifted a brow. “I’m so calling him that from now on.”
“I know, right! It’s funny. He hates it, by the way.”
“I bet.” Daniel sucked in a big breath then turned to Dalton and hugged him tightly. “Thanks, mate. I know I’ve been a huge arsehole, but I couldn't have done this without you. You're the only person I trusted through all this.”
“I'm glad I could offer you some help. Anything you three need, I'm always here for you.”
“
Thanks, Dalton.” Daniel gave him another bear hug then let him go. “Sorry. I'm just… relieved.”
“Me too.” Dalton pressed his hand on Daniel’s back and got him moving again. “It’s just through here.” He checked his radio and got an update on the flight. “They’ll be coming out first. Security are prioritising them and getting them clear before the crowds, so they should be here any minute now.” Dalton hung back, letting Daniel move forward, pacing again as he watched the double glass doors for any sign of Milo or Samuel.
When he spotted them walking up the corridor, he sprung to the doors. They didn’t open and he glared at the man sitting beside the door. “Open them.”
“They’ll be opened when the passengers are here and ready—”
Dalton stood firm and tall, looking down at the guy with that stern look Milo got, and one Daniel didn’t know Dalton could pull off. “Open the door now, sir, please.”
The door sprung open and Daniel ran down the corridor, throwing himself in both of their open arms and hugging them. They held each other, swaying and kissing each other, and then Daniel pulled back and just looked at Samuel.
“You're not leaving us again. Not ever. Not once.”
“I know.” Samuel was crying as he kissed him. “I've been told.”
Milo wrapped his arms around both of them, but looked over their shoulders and smiled. “Hey, Dalton.
“Aladdin.” Dalton saluted him comically with a smile.
Daniel smiled at the huff Milo gave him.
Dalton shuffled from one foot to the other in front of them. “I hate to break this up, but…”
“Yeah.” Milo moved them forward. “It’s okay, Dalton. You have a room we can use or are we being moved off site?”
“There’s a room nearby, but we’re moving you to a secure location. Nothing top secret. Just somewhere we can surround with heavily armed police officers and watch your every move on closed circuit TV cameras.”
“Ahhh.” Milo leaned over and hugged Dalton. “I see. For how long?”
“A few days at most. Just a precaution. Think of it as a spa break or something.”
After an emotional reunion in the private room at the airport, all three of them were herded nicely but securely into a car and driven out of the city to a private house set in big gardens. It was a big thing and definitely had the feeling of a spa or plush hotel when they got inside.
“They're spoiling us,” Milo whispered to them both.
“I think we bloody well deserve it.” Daniel looked around. “If they’d brought us to some dive, I would be pissed off.”
Samuel took Daniel into his arms while Milo checked the place out with Dalton. “You look so tired. Are you hungry? Did you eat? You look thinner.”
“I'm okay, Samuel. I haven't slept or eaten much, but how could I when all I could think about was you and what could be happening? I thought…” Daniel swallowed, fighting to keep the tears spilling from his eyes. “I thought they’d killed you. Then we found that hotel and shit got worse, but we knew you were alive.” Daniel took a breath and wiped his eyes, looking down into the wide blue ones of Samuel. “I just couldn't cope, you know.” He let go and the tears spilled from his eyes. “I love you so much. When they took you from me, from us, I thought I’d die I felt so bad. It was like everything just stopped.”
“For me too.” Samuel kissed him. “I'm back now. I'm here and safe and I have the two men who I love more than anything with me. They got everyone who could hurt me. Things will be better now. Now we can start to live, Daniel.”
Daniel nodded. “It’s going to take me some time to believe that. Right now, I feel on edge, ready to run with you and hide somewhere.” Daniel looked around. “I guess that’s why we’re here.”
“I feel safe here.” Samuel’s brow creased and he wiped the last tears from Daniel’s face. “You need food and bed.”
“There’s no food.” Milo sighed heavily from behind them. “But Dalton says there’s a really good pizza place nearby so we can order what you like.”
The thought of food made Daniel’s stomach groan loudly. He couldn't remember when he last ate.
“Daniel needs food, and lots of it.” Samuel led him to the sitting room and sat beside him while Milo ordered the pizzas. “Everything will seem better in the morning. After a belly full of food and a warm bed with us two cuddling you, you’ll feel better.”
Daniel nuzzled his face against Samuel’s. “I wish I could have gone with Milo, but they wouldn’t let me.”
“It was dangerous. Even Milo felt out of his depth. I wouldn’t have wanted you to get hurt anyway. And they could have targeted you too. You were safe here. That's all I wanted, to keep you both safe.”
“I just need to spend a week with you in my arms before I can even think of anything else.”
Milo joined them, sitting on the other side of Daniel and kissing his neck. “That's how I feel. Time with just us is going to make things seem a lot better.”
All three of them held each other until the food arrived. Each of them wanted it, but didn’t want to be separated for a second to get it. Milo eventually went to collect the food from the police officer outside the front door, and then they all sat in front of the TV, huddled together and feeding each other bites of the delicious food.
Samuel and Milo finished, but Daniel ate loads. His stomach was full to bursting by the time he eventually admitted defeat and laid down with his feet on Milo’s thighs and his head resting in Samuel’s lap. “Not bad for a two a.m. snack.”
They dozed on and off for a bit until Milo finally made them go to bed. They found some of their own clothes in the bedroom. All in one room Daniel noted with a smile. He’d packed the bags himself before he left for the airport, so he knew they had things in there which they would actually want.
He dragged himself out of his clothes and slumped naked on the bed, watching as Samuel shimmied out of his skinny jeans and Milo tugged his sweater off his head. There were times in the past three days when Daniel didn’t think he would ever see Samuel alive, let alone have all three of them back in one room and doing something so normal as getting ready for bed. It filled him up and he smiled at them both as they climbed in, one of either side of him, both wrapping themselves around him.
He held them in his arms, smelling them and kissing their foreheads. He never wanted to be separated from these two men again and he was prepared to do anything to keep it that way. No matter what, they were sticking together like glue for the rest of their lives. He knew they had something special before Samuel was taken, but living without him for those few days made everything crystal clear, and he wanted to voice how sure he was of those feelings before he fell asleep.
“I can't ever see me being without you two. I don’t care what we have to do to make this work, but I need it to happen. I love you both too much for this to end. I know things will be different now this is over, well, sort of over, hopefully over.” Daniel took a breath. “I want you both in my life forever. It hurt too much being apart from you.”
“We’ll always be here for you, Daniel,” Samuel whispered against his chest before kissing it. “I'm not planning on going anywhere, I promise. I want this too. I want forever to be like we are right now.”
“Me too.” Milo hugged them both, encasing them in his strong hold. “I think we all agree on that for once. This isn't something we can just stop. It’s where we’re supposed to be. We belong together.”
“I love you both.” Samuel lifted up on his elbow, looking down at both of them. “Thank you for finding me and bringing me home.”
“We’ll be home in a few days.” Daniel kissed him. “This is just some house.”
“No.” Samuel shook his head with a smile. “This is home for me. You two. Wherever you are, that's where I want to be. That's where I feel like I belong.”
Milo kissed them both deeply before sharing a loving look with them. “We all belong together, that much I know, and I know no matter where I
am, I never feel happier and more secure than when I'm with you both. Having you in my arms and knowing you’ll be with me when I wake, it’s like bliss to me.”
Daniel ran his fingers through Milo’s hair then held the back of Samuel’s neck. “I want this for our future. I want this and everything else life brings.”
They both nodded in agreement and Daniel laid back. He was worn out, but he needed to say that.
He relaxed into the mattress, feeling the two most important people in his life holding him and felt the world start spinning again.
Everything was right in his heart now they were back with him. He could breathe again, feel his heart beating in his chest again, smell and taste where before everything was bland.
He slipped off into a deep sleep for the first time in three nights.
Chapter 34
Samuel loaded the dishwasher up then wiped his hands down while he laughed softly at Daniel in the garden. He was setting up some sort of CCTV thingy, adding extra security to the house just in case. Samuel folded his arms across his chest. They were all still worried, but every little thing they did to secure the house and their lives helped them gain back some control.
It would take time before they felt one hundred percent safe anywhere, but after two weeks of being back in England and going through everything about the case and Nikolay, they all felt sure none of the gang would come looking for Samuel.
Daniel wanted to move to another house. They needed somewhere bigger and safer he said, somewhere they could all choose together. Milo and Daniel were selling their separate houses and they would all be moving in together in one place. When they found one they all liked, that is. Samuel wasn’t too bothered, he just wanted them to feel good about it, but he would like a nice kitchen, one that was a lot bigger than this one.
Milo snuck in behind him and kissed his neck, watching Daniel messing about outside with wires. “How’s he doing?”
“I don’t know. It’s hard to tell, really. Maybe you should help him or dinner will be spoiled.”
