Thank you for reading...I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Let me know your feelings on the situation in the comments, and as always, remember to drop a pretty Gem if you can spare one, I would appreciate it so much! =)
When Dr. Thompson comes out to let us know that they are still looking Merrick over but that there don't seem to be any life-threatening injuries, I can finally calm down. I can breathe with ease again, and I thank my doctor for informing us of this. "They will be taking him to room two-twenty-one, so you can head up there and wait," she tells us, "I've also informed the staff that you three are his family and that they can talk to you about his condition. You know how healthcare is these days; we can't go around telling just anybody. Lucky for you guys, you have me." She says amusingly and then winks before leaving us. "Well, let's head upstairs...." I start to say, but then a couple of police officers walk in. "Are you Aria Hamilton?" One of the uniformed men asks. I nod, "I am. Are you here about the hit and run?" "We are. Is there somewhere we can talk, or is here okay?" The other officer inquires. I look around, and it's only the five of us here, so I shrug
MERRICK I feel like I've been steamrolled as I wake up, but then I smell it, the sterile scent that only a hospital would have. I curse inwardly as I hear voices, and it's her voice that brings me back completely. She's arguing with my best friend, her husband, so I do the only thing that needs to be done; I bring out the Dom in me and tell her to listen to her husband. Her excitement at seeing me awake stirs something deep inside, and then the kiss, well, that just solidifies it; I'm now hard under these blankets. Once she tells me what happened and that she feels indebted to me, it only makes things worse on my end because of all the images that run through my head of the things that I can make her do. "So, Sandra is the one who hit me? The one who tried to hit you?" I change the subject before I end up coming by just thinking about the naughty things I want to do to her, "I figured it was Mia. Strange that we see her the same day this happens." I scowl. "Yeah, about
JORY Nobody knows what I'm feeling inside. I don't want them to see because then they will feel bad for me, and that's the last thing I want. Knowing that Merrick is in the hospital because of my fucked-up life has me gutted. The fact that Sandra went after Aria, the mother of my unborn children, well, she should know that she's done fucked up. I know that Knox has Leo on the case, but I don't want anybody else cleaning up my mess. This is something that I have to do myself, so with my decision made, I turn to Merk and grin, "Hey, I'm going to run back to the house. Do you need anything? A flogger, a dildo...maybe some lube?" I muse. "Fuck you, Jor. I'll shove it up your ass dry if you don't quit." Merrick smiles back. "Okay, okay, just checking," I move to Aria and pull her into my arms, "I'll be back soon. Do you need me to bring you back anything?" "Hm, maybe some Chinese food for all of us?" She smiles at me, and I cup her face, taking her lips with mine. I don'
JORY (cont.) Carrying the bag of Chinese food up to Merk's room has my stomach rumbling. I haven't eaten anything since breakfast. I wonder what people would think if they knew that I had just come back from having someone off themselves, and now I'm going to sit down with my family and eat dinner like nothing happened. I've never cared about what others thought, but I do care about what others do to my loved ones, and I have no qualms about putting a stop to it, no matter what it takes. Sandra was fucking with my family, so she needed to be taken care of. I'm not a killer, or so I never believed I was, but I would kill a hundred Sandra's if it meant my family was safe. The elevator dings, and the doors open right in front of the nurse's station. A pair of uniformed officers are standing there, talking to the nurses, and they turn to look at me. Playing it cool, I nod and keep walking all the way to Merk's room. My heart is pounding, I won't lie, and it takes everything I h
I made a bed out of the sofa and ottoman in the living room, big enough to fit Merrick and me and my two other men if they want to join us. Jory is in the home office while Knox has gone to break Merrick out of the hospital. I figured we could spend the day resting, watching N*****x, and pigging out on snacks. It's probably the only way to get the big bad Dom to relax. I'm just finishing straightening out the blankets when I hear the front door open, and I hurry to the foyer to greet my husband and Sir. Until a month ago, I would still greet them on my knees, but they won't allow it now that I'm as big as I am. "Sir, welcome home!" I carefully throw my hands around his neck, and he bends down to meet me and take my lips. "It's so good to be back home with you." He says against my lips and then continues to kiss me. "What's all this?" I hear Knox ask, and I reluctantly pull away. "I figured Sir wouldn't want to be up in his room resting, so I thought I would camp out
"Push, Aria! Baby A's head is right there!" Dr. Thompson urges. "Come on, sweetness. You've got this!" "Baby Doll, you need to breathe just like you learned in your Lamaze class." I glare at all three of my men, hating each of them even though only one of them put these babies in me. I know there will be more kids, so Knox and Merrick get my wrath too. Knox only chuckles as he wipes my forehead with a cold cloth. He's the only one that does not feel any pain with each contraction, unlike the other two, who are each holding a hand. "One more good push, Aria." The doctor says, so I take a deep breath and push down. "Eeeee!" "That's good, Aria; keep going!" Doc orders. When I can no longer push down anymore, I feel the head as it pops out. I didn't make it in time to be able to get any drugs, so I'm doing this naturally. I wish my mother could be in here with me, but since I wanted all three guys with me, my Mom had to stay in the hall with Nikki. Unlike my g
KNOX I listen on as the phone continues to ring, no one ever picking up from the other end. What did I expect? My mother hasn't answered a call from me in a long time. I promised Aria I would try, and that's what I'm doing, so I sigh when I hear my mother's voice on her voicemail. Melody knocks on the door, and I wave her into the office as I leave my message, "Hi, Mom, it's Knox. I know I already left you a message a while ago when Aria and I got married, but things have happened, and now we will be having another ceremony, and Aria wanted me to call and invite you. As usual, you're probably busy with your new family, but I wish you would remember that you also have another son. I guess that's all; please call me back this time." I don't tell her I love her anymore because it hurts too much not to hear it back from the one woman you thought you would have in your life for as long as she lived. I guess I remind her too much of the past that she wants to forget. It's time t
Kneeling on the floor, patiently waiting for one of my 'owners' to arrive, I think back to almost a year ago when I was brought through the exact front door I am now kneeling in front of. Merrick had explained how things would work for the next thirty days on the drive over from the auction house. I remember feeling like a scared little girl, but little did I know that my decision to sell my virginity would be the best thing to ever happen to me. Sometimes having choices is a good thing, but it can sometimes come back to bite you in the ass. Luckily, I chose well, even if I didn't know it at the time. I remember my Sir explaining how there would be punishments but also rewards when I was a good girl and that all three would hand out the punishments. Thinking back at how I felt learning that I was to have to please not one but three men, it was nerve-racking being the virgin I was. Unbeknownst to me, one of my owners knew me very well and had already planned on being the one to clai
