Our girls looked at each other and nodded for her to carry on. "My dad's a SEAL, well he used to be active, now he's an admiral so he's more administrative." "Anyway I get the feeling that whatever this is, it has to do with his team from back in the day, which involved the CO." "I know a little bit about him but of course dad never got into too much detail, but I heard those men talking. They're working off of some list. All the girls that were taken were the daughters of military men." "Daughters? Oh shit...that meeting at Law's place last year. Dana, Melissa any of you know what that was about?" "Same thing, the only one missing was Mancini." Dana Sue answered Kat Lyon. "I think he met them in the winter. It was the holidays in fact. We'd just got home that night I think and he told me he had to make a run. It was after he came back that he started working on something, I bet it was this." "Kelly you said they were working off a list what li
"No problem." He pulled up the home on a wall screen and put in some shit on the computer that took us to the front door." "What the fuck is that?" "I would think you'd know. The military has been playing around with this little toy for the better part of six months." It's the first time I'd seen anything like it. It was like Google earth on steroids. You could actually see inside the house and its surroundings in real time, almost like you were there. "Are we calling ahead Quinn?" I fielded Lo's question and had to think about it. I shook my head as I worked it out. "No, if they were heading to him that means they already know who he is and might have eyes on his place and who knows what else." "The first team has been disbanded so it might take them some time to coordinate, not sure what kinda setup Khalil has here. But either way we can't risk it." "I say we go in at night, take the kid and head back here. Speaking of which I need to
Lyon still hadn't said anything but the women never shut up. "We're sorry we won't do it again." Poor Katarina she was still trying. Lyon just crooked his finger at her and waited for her to approach him. "Where's my son?" Her eyes widened and she looked around as if expecting the baby to appear. "Oh no, I'm so sorry. Isn't he still asleep?" She was back to wringing her hands again. "I'll go get him." "No, that's okay I'll take care of him and the rest of my kids who're out there running around a fucking cliff." "Ohhh, damn Colt that's harsh." Tyler was talking shit but he was looking at his hero with a glint in his eye. Like he needs to be any crazier than he already is. "Let me ask you something before I go. Are you pregnant?" "Yes." She hung her head. It's a wonder she has any flesh left on her hands as much as she wrings them together. "What about these other women here, any of them pregnant." "Yes." She turned back to
"Oh my gosh that's so perfect." Gaby loves any talk about weddings. Funny! "Wait a minute six? I just met Quinn like an hour ago. Besides, he didn't ask." "Oh sweetie, first off, they don't ask. And second, ask these women in here how long they were with their significant others before they found themselves hitched for life, ring or no ring." There were a lot of heads nodding at Ginger-Lee's words. It was like getting a glimpse into the machinations of the female mind. It's a fucking mind fuck. "You know what we should do, we should get that movie seven brides for seven brothers." "Oh yes I could go for a nice old movie right now." "Ooh Cat on a Hot Tin Roof." "Oh that's my favorite." "Some like it hot." "Oh yeah that's another good one to watch." "Do we have any of those?" "I'm sure if we don't Hank will find them for us." "Shit! Anybody caught all those names?" Mancini was already online looking. Mean
It was so natural for them. The way they each went to their respective women. I searched my heart and there was no envy, but there was a slight pang of longing, stronger than the others that came before. I knew it was the surroundings that added to the melancholy. That and the fact that I was the only one without a partner. But none of that could take away from the happiness I felt at my brothers' joy. Especially Quinn. He looked so happy it was hard not to smile at the complete ass he was making of himself. For someone who'd sworn to me over and over that he'd never take the plunge, he looked just as gone as the others. I started getting twitchy when I caught the side eye looks and the whispering started. I knew what was coming next and knew only one way to save my own ass. "So, Dani, I walked around this place earlier and you know what? This looks like the ideal place to have a wedding. Did you girls bring your magazines?" "You've got the be
I can try to convince myself that it didn't matter, but the truth is, more and more in the last few hours, especially after what happened with Quinn, I've been feeling...off. As if he could read my mind Davey looked at me with a grin. "So, Quinn has a girl, does that mean you're next?" "Okay kid that's enough of this." I got up to leave his ass to the waves. "Oh come on Dev, you guys always do everything together. I don't see why this should be any different. Besides, I heard the women talking back home and your goose is as good as cooked." "What, what did they say?" At least his mind was no longer on Lyon's kid therefore taking his ass out of the line of fire. "Well, after they got through talking about weddings and babies." He rolled his eyes. "They decided that you and Quinn needed to settle down. Then once they saw Quinn with his girl, they figured it was a done deal and you were the only one left." "How did they see Quinn with Kelly?"
I missed her, and I was scared. I finally got why my brothers act so crazy when it comes to their women. Mancini's little island is well guarded true, but nothing beats being there myself to protect her. I smiled at the memory of our last moments together. After lunch we'd each returned to our cottages under the pretense of resting up before heading out tonight. I only had one moment of discomfort when Dev waved us off as he hung back with the kids. It's weird but I felt a little off about him being the only one without a girl. Lo had caught my look since we were trailing the women who all had their heads together up ahead about something. Hopefully it had to do with weddings this time. "He's going to be fine Quinn, I know it. If he doesn't find someone on his own, I'm pretty sure that gaggle would take care of it. Damn, one day around Lyon and I'm beginning to sound like him." "Yeah, you might wanna watch that. I don't think Gaby would appreciate you
Now she was alone with a man she'd only met a few short hours ago. A man who had fucked her within the first few minutes of meeting her, then brought her here away from everything she knew. A man who had all plans on keeping her. When looked at through the eyes of someone who wasn't under the influence of that ESP shit or whatever it is, this shit really is fucked. I know each of my brothers except Ty, had claimed their women within days of knowing them. Zak had done the same with Vanessa before they had their little time out. But it seems to be a trend with us. Or maybe that's just the way it is with all couples? How can you not claim your woman when you know in your gut that she's yours on sight? Maybe the cavemen had it right after all. Shit sure seems simpler. Whatever the case, it felt right having her here with me. I can't imagine having to leave her behind and coming here. It's only been a little more than half a day and already I feel like she
*** "Stop being so nervous, everything is going to be fine." We were about an hour out from the wedding on the beach and she was the one reassuring me. I don't know why, but now that we were down to crunch time I have this fear that some shit is gonna go wrong. Maybe because I know that she's the best thing that ever happened to me. Or maybe it's because I still don't think I deserve her. Whatever it is, I have this feeling that some shit's gonna go wrong. "Come 'ere." I wrapped my arms around her and felt myself settle. "I love you, I'm not nervous about marrying you, I just don't want anything to go wrong on our big day." I hope Ty the fuck isn't lurking around somewhere listening to this or he'd ride my ass for sure. "Nothing's gonna go wrong, now go be with your brothers while I finish getting dressed." Dani and Gaby had been pounding at our cottage door for the last half an hour trying to get me to release her. The women were getting dress
"Lyon your daughter is fucking adorable." "Dude what the fuck, she's sixteen." I glared at Mancini the fuck ready to take him out. "Not the teen you ass, the little one." That shit made me snort like Kat does. "Oh yeah?" She's been working her con on her new uncles. To a man they melt whenever she bats those lashes of hers at them. She knows better than to try that shit with me. That ship sailed when the little shit was three and I caught her making her own damn glue to fuck with her big sister's hair. "What's she doing that makes her so adorable this time?" I hadn't seen her in a little bit, figured she was with her mom and the other women. Thank fuck. We were here to relax after all and that one don't know the meaning of the word. "She's reading to Zakira, very hush-hush. Must be some story the way the two of them have their heads together whispering." I flew out of my chair two seconds later. "Lyon what the fuck?" Tyler and the others looke
Three weeks later we were back on the island, which looked like a completely different place. Cierra had shown up a few days early to get the place set up. There were flowers everywhere leading from the lawn down to the beach and a canopy that looked like it would hold a couple hundred people easy. We hadn't been let in on any of the plans. After all the threats the women had made about making us help them plan. In the end it was decided that as men we didn't know the first thing about it and were left to our own devices. We'd used the time to take care of our business and make sure that the people we'd left in charge had done a good job, which they had. The CO and his boys had been busy in that time and once the news broke about the trafficking ring and all those who were involved, everything was total chaos. As Mancini had predicted, there were a lot of people with their heads on the chopping block, including the fuck up who couldn't hide behind his
No one else spoke and I know my brothers like me were still coming to terms with what we were seeing. I've never experienced shocked joy before but I can't say I didn't like it. "I thought I covered my tracks pretty well, but something went wrong and that's when I tried calling you in. When you were sent into a trap, I knew I had to do something or we'd all be fucked, so I came up with a plan." "I know how the general operates, so when he invited himself here under the guise of friendship I was ready for him. I'd already taken the antidote for his little surprise so when he slipped me the poison I pretended to be dead while he ransacked my place looking for what I had." "So that's why the closed coffin." Connor asked as he too looked over the commander as if not quite believing his own eyes. "I had to do it this way boys. I knew once I was gone that you'd take care of it once you got wind of what was going on. I didn't want you involved, but I couldn't get c
It was a long fucking thirty-six hours but once we landed all my fatigue went away as soon as I saw her waiting for me. The others were there as well, but I only had eyes for her. She ran to meet me as soon as I stepped off the plane and I grabbed her up in my arms. Nothing had ever felt this good. "Is it over?" She had tears in her eyes. I put her back on her feet and dried her face, my heart breaking just a little at all that she'd had to go through. "It's over baby. Don't cry anymore okay, I can't bear it." She held my hand to her chest and nodded as the last fear fell. I pulled her into my chest and kissed her forehead before heading after the others. "Boys I hate to do this to you, but you only have a few hours down time, we have to get back to your compound ASAP." "What the fuck Mancini, why what's going on there?" "You'll see when we get there, get some sleep." He just walked away with his arm around his woman leaving the rest of us look
No one breathed easy as we flew through the night, heading towards the gulf, which is where Mancini informed us Khalil was meeting with the senator. "So that's how he's always evaded us, he uses a decoy." Logan looked around at the rest of us. "Yep, I guess for the criminal element it pays to be paranoid." Con stretched out his legs and closed his eyes. "But how did he know we were coming?" Ty dropped his head back and rubbed his eyes. "I'm not sure he did, but after the move on the general, he must've decided to be extra careful." Mancini filled us in. "How sure are we that he's the one with the senator?" "Track seems pretty sure, like I said, he has eyes on him and they're in a convoy tent. Lots of security so we have to go in hard and fast." It only took us half an hour to land and we hit the ground running. I'm pretty sure my brothers like me, were hoping that this was it. Sure we'd hit and missed before with the Fox, but we all knew
We arrived in full dark the next day and immediately went into high gear. This place is crawling with military intelligence and a host of unsavory characters on a good day, so we had to get in and out in as little time as possible without being seen. Mancini had a station set up in the desert, not sure how he pulled that off, but it looked like any other bivouac we'd ever seen and would cause no undue interest. In the last few hours before we landed once everyone had rested, some better than others, we'd gone through the plans again. Only a few of us were going into the camp where the signals from Khalil's phone were pinging, because it would be too dangerous for us all to go. Had this been a military Op, it wouldn't have mattered, but some might call what we were doing illegal. So while we were going in the others were going to stand guard around the perimeter. It wasn't easy choosing who were gonna go in, but in the end it was Lo, Con and Zak who
I covered her lips, distracting her as I removed her skirt and slid her panties down her thighs. "I love your kisses." I smiled down at her, not believing how happy I was just to be here with her like this even with the danger awaiting me. Maybe that was the lure of a good woman. What have made men fight and die for centuries. I pulled back and looked down at her spread out beneath me, my wanton princess. Her body was an astounding thing of beauty. And I made myself take the time look, to enjoy all that was mine. Though I had no real fear that I wouldn't come back to her, there was no sense in testing fate. I wanted the memory of her like this to carry with me. High firm breasts, flat concaved stomach, and slightly flared hips that cupped her pretty hairless pussy. Shapely thighs that had I taken the time to really look before I would've noticed were well toned and defined. Dancer's legs. I held her eyes with mine as I ran my hand over her heated fle
I caught up to him on one of the paths that lead to the beach where he stood waiting for me. "I know your mind went back there again and I know we've all told you more than once that your uncle was a piece of shit asshole who had no fucking brains." "Yes I think I've heard one or more of you say something along those lines a time or two." "Who do you trust brother?" "My brothers." "So why don't you believe us when it comes to this one thing? Put it away and put it away for good. You deserve the same happiness as everyone else and fuck anyone who says different." "Dani says she's in love with you." "Who Dani?" "No you fuck, Ariel. You know how these women talk, which is good for us that they get along so well, but that also means there are no secrets. It's going to be interesting when we get back home to the compound." "Anyway, she says the girl's in love with you and you'll be a fool to let anyone get in the way of that. I don't
