The American Soldier Collection 9: Password to Her Heart (Siren Publishing LoveXtreme Forever)

by Dixie Lynn Dwyer

  He was thick and solid muscle. He crushed her to the bed and she loved every second of it. Every hard, deep stroke of his cock as he rocked the bed.

  He grabbed her face and held her tight. “You’re amazing.” He kissed her deeply.

  She felt so aroused and ready for another orgasm. He positioned her just on the edge of the bed where he could stroke deeply, penetrating her to her womb as he played with her ass. She felt the digit push through the tight rings, and she screamed his name as she exploded against him. Tex began to stroke faster, deeper, making the bed rock and her body quake and moan.

  “Oh God, Tex. You’re so big. It feels so tight.”

  “You’re mine now, baby. You’re part of all of us.” He thrust two more times and ejaculated into her womb.

  He gripped her damp cheeks and kissed her again. Trailing kisses along her neck and to her breasts, he rolled her to his side and hugged her tight.

  Caressing her damp hair from her cheeks, he held her gaze. “So tell me, what did you do to earn a spanking from Mercury?”

  She chuckled and then hugged Tex tightly. “I’ll tell you later.” She cuddled in his arms, feeling safe and content, a sensation she thought she would never feel.

  * * * *

  Tex heard the scream and the he felt the hands hitting him before pushing him away. Shawna tumbled from the bed, and just as he got his bearings, the hallway light turned on. Mercury was standing there.

  “What the hell is going on?” he asked. Shawna covered her mouth and was trying to catch her breath.

  “Shawna, are you okay?” Tex asked, crawling over the side of the bed as Mercury walked deeper into the room.

  She glanced at him and then Mercury. “I’m fine. I’m sorry I woke you both up.” She pulled the pillow in front of her naked body. Tex ran his hands through his hair. Her scream, the way she fought him wasn’t so easily dismissed.

  “Were you having a bad dream?” he asked her.

  “Shawna?” Mercury said.

  She looked at him and then back to Tex. She got up off the rug. “I’m fine. I must have fallen off the bed.”

  “You hit me. You were striking me with your hands and fists before you leaped from the bed,” Tex told her, kneeling over her as she lay back down.

  “I’m fine. I didn’t mean to do that to you. I’m sorry.” She caressed her palm against his arm and shoulder. Tex looked at Mercury, who now joined them on the bed.

  Tex leaned back and Mercury placed his hand over Shawna’s waist as he leaned over her.

  “You didn’t take the sleeping pills?”

  “What sleeping pills?”

  Shawna didn’t answer.

  “What sleeping pills?” he asked her.

  “I don’t want them. I don’t need them. Just leave it alone,” she whispered, teeth clenched.

  “No. You do need them. Didn’t you learn anything from your punishment?” he asked. She pulled her bottom lip between her teeth. Her eyes filled with tears.

  “You spanked her because she wouldn’t take sleeping pills?” Tex asked.

  “I spanked her because she defied a direct order. She refused to do the right thing to take care of herself, and she’s been sleeping in the closet in her room out of fear since her first night here.”

  “What? Shawna, why? You could have come to any of us and we would have stayed with you.”

  “Please, Tex, I don’t need the pills and I don’t need coddling.”

  Mercury swallowed hard. “It’s not coddling. It’s care and loving. Why won’t you take the pills?”

  She rolled to her side, turning her back toward him as she hugged the pillow.

  Tex looked at Mercury and could see his concern. Mercury caressed his hand along her thigh to her rear and Shawna quickly glanced at Mercury.

  “Are you going to spank me again?” she asked. He continued to rub along her thigh and ass.

  “Only if you lie to me, to us. Why won’t you take the pills?”

  She looked at Tex, the tear fell from her eye. “Because if I can’t make myself wake up then he’ll succeed in hurting me.”

  What she said sunk in quickly.

  “Aw, Shawna, damn, baby, you should have told me.” Mercury leaned down and kissed her lips. He kissed away her tears and Tex felt his chest tighten. The poor woman kept suffering and really did have trust issues still, despite sharing her body with them.

  “I should really go get those pills and make you take one,” Mercury said.

  “No, please, Merc, please don’t make me.”

  “I think tomorrow we should call Spocko. He could help you get through this,” Mercury suggested.

  “No. I don’t need that. I’ll be just fine,” she countered, being stubborn.

  “What should we do then? How can we help you to sleep through the night and not have any nightmares?”

  She looked at him and then at Tex. “Both of you stay with me.” She lowered her eyes.

  He cupped her chin.

  “How will that help?” he asked.

  “If I’m in the middle, between the both of you, then he can’t get to me.”

  Tex felt the anger consume his body. The fucker who hurt her must have really messed with her head, and perhaps even her body. He maneuvered down to lie in front of her and pulled the pillow from her grip.

  “No barriers, just you, me, and Mercury.” Tex leaned forward to kiss her. That kiss grew deeper, and soon Mercury was cupping her breast as he pressed against her from behind.

  “How do you feel when one of us is inside of you?” Mercury asked as he kissed along her neck and slid his hand down her thigh and over to her cunt.

  “Complete, and safe.”

  “Good,” Tex said, pulling her up. She straddled his waist as Mercury rose from the bed. Tex scooted down to the edge and Shawna lifted up, immediately taking his cock up into her pussy. She closed her eyes and moaned.

  “We’re going to make love to you together, and then we’re gonna hold you in our arms and make sure that fucker can never hurt you again.”

  She leaned down and kissed his lips.

  “Tell me where you want my cock, baby,” Mercury said.

  Tex watched as Shawna leaned forward, reached back, and spread her ass cheeks.

  “Everywhere,” she whispered.

  Tex thrust up and Mercury began to lick her ass and anus, readying it for his cock. She moaned and thrust, the feel of her pussy leaking cream encouraging Mercury’s penetration. Slowly, he pushed into her ass. Tex knew immediately when Mercury breached her ass. The tightness, the full feeling hit all three of them at once, making them all moan.

  Tex wasn’t the only one to get so lost inside of Shawna, and the way her body gripped them tight. They thrust into her together, stroking, panting, sucking her skin wherever they could reach with their tongues. Then they heard Shawna moan, and felt her shaking between them. Tex felt her lips against his chest, his neck, and it was all too much. Both Tex and Mercury followed, holding their cocks deep within her as they came, calling her name, waiting for the wild sensations to pass.

  He locked gazes with Mercury over Shawna’s shoulder. He had never seen his gunnery sergeant, his commander and friend, so intense and in tune to another human being. They were all going to keep Shawna safe and happy. They finally found their destiny, the woman of their dreams.

  * * * *

  Tex heard someone walking down the hallway. He opened his eyes, instantly feeling Shawna wedged up against his chest. Her mouth was on his neck and one of her arms was over his waist. Mercury was pressed up behind her, his hand over her breast.

  He looked up toward the doorway and saw Lee standing there, holding a cup of coffee.

  “Are you taking today off?” he asked with a sly smile.

  Tex turned to look at the clock and cursed. “Fuck, I’m going to be late.” He slowly dislodged himself from Shawna. She moaned then reached out to him. Mercury pulled her into his arms and covered her with his body like a shield of armor.
Tex shook his head.

  “I should have known he was wide awake.”

  Mercury kept a straight face and Shawna cuddled into his warmth, appearing so feminine and petite compared to Mercury.

  “Something go down last night?” Lee asked as Tex walked with him out of the bedroom.

  “Yeah, she had a nightmare or something. Apparently she’s been having them and has been sleeping in the closet in her room.”

  “What? Shit, is that how the argument between her and Mercury started?”

  “I believe so. Damn, Lee, she was so fucking scared. She was hitting me and punching me and then she slid off the bed to the floor.”

  Lee followed Tex toward the bathroom. He closed the door and Lee waited while Tex did his business. “Maybe she needs some sleeping pills?”

  Tex pushed the door open while brushing his teeth. He rinsed his mouth and looked at Lee. “She did have them, but hasn’t been taking them. She’s been suffering all this time.”

  “Shit, maybe we need to call Spocko and have him come by today. She was planning on going to the hospital later anyway.”

  “Better check with Mercury. That’s what got the argument started early yesterday morning.”

  “Ah, so did you find out why she hadn’t wanted to take the pills, or did you two just have your wicked way with her?” Lee teased.

  “We talked about Spocko and she declined. Said she didn’t take the sleeping pills because…Well, she said when her attacker strikes then she might not wake up to stop him from continuing to hurt her.”

  “Fuck.” Lee ran his fingers through his hair.

  “Needless to say, she will not be sleeping alone anymore. We’ll work out a schedule.”

  “We may not have to. She ran to the room when Mercury chased her down to deliver that spanking.”

  Tex stopped what he was doing and widened his eyes. “Really?” Tex was shocked. They had an extra room in the house. It was the largest when they built it. As the team talked about finding a woman to love and share, they started to make more concrete plans in case they met her. That room, with a custom-made bed wide enough to fit all five of them plus their woman in the center, was the room she ran to. Coincidence, or fate?

  “Well, what do we do about the nightmares and about Spocko?” Lee asked.

  “Let Mercury decide what to do. I’m certain he’ll have a long talk with Shawna this morning. I’d better get going. I have to sneak in there now to grab my clothes.”

  “Yeah, and you might want your gun and holster. We locked it up in the front safe last night when you left with Shawna in the middle of dinner.”

  Lee smiled and Tex chuckled.

  “No wonder I’m so damn hungry.”

  “Don’t worry, it won’t be the last time you choose making love over food. Her body is fucking fantastic.”

  Tex smiled wide and headed back to his room. He hoped he could resist jumping back in bed with her.

  As he tiptoed inside, he saw her sound asleep against Mercury. Tex grabbed his clothes and stared at her a moment. He was worried about her last night, and he would continue to worry about her as long as she felt fearful. There had to be a way to help her. Maybe Mercury would get her to come around.

  Chapter 13

  “I don’t need to see anyone. Look at the last few nights. As long as two of you are snuggled against me, I’m fine.” She held Lee’s hand while Tiek leaned against the porch railing.

  “Well, he’ll be here any minute, so can you just give it a try for us?” Stitch asked.

  She rolled her eyes. “Whatever.” She attempted to pull away but Lee pulled her back and against his chest.

  “Watch it,” he scolded as he caressed a hand against her ass and squeezed.

  She in return gave his chest a light slap. Tiek and Stitch chuckled.

  “I’ll go check on lunch,” Tiek stated.

  “I’ll come, too, I need to go online and check out a few things,” Stitch said, and both men gave Shawna a kiss before they headed inside.

  Shawna leaned back in the chair and let the sunlight hit her face.

  “It’s beautiful out here,” she whispered.

  “It sure is. You look perfect sitting there, Shawna,” Lee whispered.

  She turned to look at him and smiled. His heart soared. She had come a long way in a matter of weeks. He hoped that Keith pulled through. If he didn’t make it, it would surely set her back. He held her hand as he sat next to her and they looked out at the open land.

  The sound of laughter and footsteps alerted them to their guest’s arrival. Lee hoped that Shawna received Spocko well. He had been a good friend for years and helped out a lot of men and women in the community. A retired Marine himself, the man knew hard core, and how to live as a survivor.

  * * * *

  Shawna felt her heart racing. She didn’t want to talk to anyone, especially not some shrink. Who was this guy anyway, some local guru? The men didn’t give her much information, but he sounded like some needle-nose, four-eyed wimp who sat behind a desk and told people things they should already know, like how to handle what life dealt out. This was absurd.

  She looked toward the doorway. Mercury was there first and then the man in question, Spocko, was behind him. Her eyes widened in shock and they chuckled, obviously the man was used to shocking his new patients. He was very attractive. Almost as big as Mercury, not as tall or built as Tiek, and he had a soft, gentle smile and big blue eyes.

  “Shawna, I’m Spocko. I’ve heard a lot about you.”

  She shook his hand. “I can’t say the same about you,” she said with attitude and gave a look toward Mercury. He raised one eyebrow with his arms crossed in front of his chest and for some reason her ass cheeks ached. She pulled her bottom lip in and waited to see what happened next.

  * * * *

  They were all gathered around the kitchen table after enjoying lunch. She realized that Mercury had known Spocko the longest, and that they had gone through basic training together.

  She avoided his questions when he directed any toward her, and even now, she stayed away from the table and cleaned up from lunch. As she washed a few glasses in the sink, she thought about why Mercury and the others felt she needed to meet this guy and talk to him. She closed her eyes and thought about last night, and how safe and secure she felt wedged between Mercury and Tex. They were better than any medication or sleep aids.

  Maybe this was the way the guys were trying to tell her that one of them couldn’t always hold her in their arms while she slept. Maybe this was how the whole ménage thing worked? She wasn’t certain but the idea of sleeping alone again brought on a surge of anxiety. Could she do that? She didn’t want to. She felt the tears reach her eyes. She was becoming too dependent on them. She was losing her ability to handle things alone.

  This was what she was afraid of. Cuadrone’s words to her at night, the way he caressed her hair while she fought against exhaustion and pain all came rushing back to her. There were moments when she was so exhausted she wondered if Cuadrone had touched her. She hoped that she would have awoken from the strange sensations but she wasn’t positive. That alone gave her nightmares and anxiety. She tried to bring her mind back to the present, she tried pulling from Mercury’s voice as he spoke to Stitch. But then she saw Cuadrone, and practically felt his touch. She couldn’t sleep alone anymore. She needed Tex, Mercury, Lee, Stitch, and Tiek.

  When she felt the hands on her waist, she dropped the glass, shattering it in the sink.

  “I didn’t mean to sneak up on you, Shawna. Are you okay?” Lee asked as he caressed her arms and looked her over.

  She was shaking. “I’m fine. Just clumsy.”

  “I said your name twice.”

  “I was daydreaming. What’s going on?” she asked, avoiding looking toward the table and Mercury, especially that Spocko guy.

  “I was going to show Spocko the gardens. He hasn’t been here since last spring.”

  “Okay. I’ll just make some coffee.�
�� She went to turn the other way, but Lee stopped her. He took her hand and brought it to his lips. He kissed the top.

  Holding her gaze, she knew he wanted her to come along.

  “Come with us. It’s beautiful outside.”

  She was hit with a mix of emotions. She felt angry, confused, scared, and yet flashes of other thoughts went through her mind as she walked outside with Lee and Spocko. She didn’t want to think about anything that happened. Since getting out of the compound, her main focus was Keith, and of course her attraction to Lee, Mercury, Stitch, Tex, and Tiek. Her heart soared with a love for them already. That frightened her, too. She was in love with five men. A woman like her who swore to lock her heart away forever.

  The sun was gorgeous and warm against her skin. Lee talked to Spocko about the new trees they planted this spring and how they were building a special area, fenced off from the rest of the flower garden.

  “What are you putting in there?” Spocko asked as he leaned against a fence and inhaled the fresh clean air.

  “A vegetable garden. Different than the one Tiek started last year. That wasn’t big enough.”

  Spocko chuckled. “That was a great garden. I loved the tomatoes and the cucumbers he dropped off.”

  “Yeah, he kind of has the magic touch with that,” Lee said.

  Shawna listened to the conversation, happy to learn something else about Tiek and Lee, and of course their home. She was cautious as she evaluated Spocko. He seemed sincere. He really was a very attractive man, and maybe she was being too hard. But her heart, her gut was so well trained in being on guard and protecting her, she stepped farther away from him and even Lee. She walked toward the small sitting area. It was gorgeous there, and decorated with wood furniture and cushions in a semicircle around what appeared to be a large fire pit. She could imagine sitting by it at night listening to the sounds of peacefulness. That was what their ranch made her feel. At peace.

  She ran her hand along the custom bar made of a combination of wood and stone.

  “You like this setup?” Lee asked her, drawing her attention back toward him and Spocko. Spocko took a seat on one of the cushioned chairs. She looked at Lee.
