That first summer, I lied my way into a job at this nice little beachside restaurant. I'd been living on the streets for a few weeks but had learned how to keep myself clean in public restrooms. I spent most days in the public library so I'd have some place to go, and had researched how to get my GED online. At night I'd find a spot somewhere out of the traffic of the city to bed down. For some reason I felt freer on the streets than I had at home. I wasn't as afraid of being violated, but I knew I couldn't do it for too long before being found out. I got that job and studied for my GED and at the end of the summer had a nice little nest egg. I got my GED much earlier than I would have if I'd stayed in school the next two years, and just when things were starting to look up, my world came crashing down again. My boss cornered me in the storage room for a little cop a feel one evening while his wife was on the other side of the door restocking the shelves
I'd sensed something different in him, a slight change, like maybe he was more open to the possibilities of us. I was planning to work on that and enlist the help of the others if I had to. I got the impression that they would approve, and maybe with a little nudge... I wouldn't say he was ready for wedding bells like the others, but I had seen something more than interest in his eyes that time. I'd gone home with a warm feeling; things were finally looking up. My breath hitched at the memory of what followed and I reacted. "Easy baby, easy." Ty put the tray down and climbed on to the bed with me. I can't believe the way my body trembled. In my mind I knew I was safe, that nothing could reach me behind these walls, in his arms, but my body couldn't seem to grasp that. "Baby, I have to ask..." I knew what he was going to say before he gave the words free reign. I curved into myself as much as I could with his arms wrapped around me. It was the way he reacted that
I felt my womb contract at the thought of carrying his son, a son who would have the same look of mischief about his mouth even in sleep; a son who would be so fierce when it comes to the ones he loved. I hope that's what this all meant, I needed it to be. I climbed onto the bed and laid my head on the pillow next to his keeping my eyes on his face. It was the first time I'd been able to study him this closely. I know it's not PC to think like this, and he would most likely scoff at me for thinking it, but he was the most gorgeous man I'd ever seen I let my eyes travel down from his face. The tattoos begged to be touched, to be traced by my fingers or tongue. My heart raced at the thought and before I could get too carried away I drew my yes from the art that adorned his neck, chest, and arms. There was more evidence of what had gone on here. His hands were red and raw and there was a bruise starting high on his cheek. "Oh Tyler, I'm so sorry." I reached out and
I wanted to stop when I felt him tense and his body became like stone, but he was right, I needed to get it out. Now that I was saying the words out loud none of it made any sense. Carson had been after me for a while, asking me out on dates flirting, the usual. I never paid it more than the cursory notice because it was a regular occurrence; men were always hitting on me. This morning when I'd seen him at the diner even before opening I hadn't really thought much of it. I figured he was in a rush and needed his first cup of the day. I'd been about to tell him that it was gonna be a while before that could happen since I had to set up first, but before I could get the words out he'd started in. I didn't know until now that he was asking me about Ty and my relationship with him, how could I? There was no relationship. But now it all made sense, the reference to the mangy dog that I preferred over him. Asking me where I'd been the night before. How
For too long now we'd been going around in circles, barely fitting the pieces together. It looked like now we'd stumbled upon a big piece of the puzzle. "Not far and when we took a look with Quinn's new tech shit something pops that wasn't there before or that we couldn't see with the other. There's a faint outline in the earth that seems to lead from the boardwalk to somewhere on his land." "What the fuck are we really dealing with here?" I followed the outline with my eyes."Whatever it is we're gonna put it to bed brother. Now since you've got confirmation that he is involved with this shit, we have a decision to make. I know because he went after your woman you wanna put one in his head, I'm with you on that, but would it make more sense to get what we can out of him first?" "We'll have to wait on that Lo, our bird has flown the coop.""What?" I was out of my chair and across the room looking over Devon's shoulder. "What the fuck am I looking at?"
"Tyler wake up, Tyler can you hear me?" This wasn't like before but it was. It was as though he was trapped in a dream. I could see his eyes moving rapidly beneath his closed lids even as his body shook and flailed around on the bed. I threw my body over his when nothing else seemed to work, holding him as close as I could while whispering directly into his ear. "It's okay Tyler, you're safe now, come back to me, everything's okay, you're safe." He would settle a little and then start again, and still he didn't awaken. I could feel his body jerk and spasm intermittently as I ran my hands soothingly over his limbs, trying in vain to calm him. Was this about me, about what had been done to me? I couldn't be sure but I thought I heard him scream for his mama. That's the sound that had awakened me in fact. But now I wasn't sure. I'd never heard anything about his other family. In fact come to think of it, none of these guys ever seemed to talk about their lives befo
I knew it, knew after the fucked up day I'd had that I was gonna do this shit. I held her in my arms against my chest as the other girl who'd stolen my heart tried to push her away. I'm gonna have to get these two to come together looked like. "Zakira say uncle Ty." She rolled her eyes at me. I guess she was not pleased that I was sharing my affections. I kissed her little mouth and hugged her close with my other arm. The others were starting to relax and giving me the look. I know what that shit meant, it meant do you wanna talk about it? They knew the answer to that one too. I never wanted to talk about this shit I'd told them the story a long time ago, what I remembered and what had been written in the papers. But it wasn't something I liked revisiting too often. Why would I? It was the worse fucking time of my life. I figured I was gonna have to tell her though. Victoria-Lyn, since I'd decided to keep her, to blend our lives together, it was only fai
It was him. I remembered his face from the newspaper clippings. Only in these he was fucked up and he looked... was he dead? Later the commander told me what he'd done. How he'd looked up the case and called a few people to get the whole story and then he'd called in a few favors and had the scum taken care of. There was nothing I could say. I'd long been trying to figure out how to do the same thing myself. But for this man who I looked up to like a father to take that upon himself for me, it had solidified our relationship and brought us closer. I'd told the others what he'd done after his death, but Logan had seemed to know already, which didn't surprise me. His death had helped to ease some of what I was carrying around with me, but until now I didn't think anything could make what was left bearable. "He died in prison." That's all I told her before lowering my head and licking across her lips. My body shook for a whole different reason this time. It
About half an hour in my skin started to ice and I felt the blood all but stop in my veins. This couldn't be right, but there it was in black and white. A million thoughts ran through my head as I tried to make sense of what I was looking at. How, when and why were foremost, but this shit was too close for comfort, and I knew our lives were about to change again. Fuck! "Guys we've got a problem." I waited for each of them to stop what they were doing and give me their attention, we were gonna need to be one hundred percent on this. "That deal with the desert fox and the thing that's going on in our backyard are connected." "What the fuck are you talking about?" Zak was out of his seat and reaching for the papers in my hand with the others not far behind. "Whatever he's running it's tied into this place." I had to get up and walk that shit off. This shit had just changed the playing field and made everything we had done or even thought thus far null and
It was dark as fuck and all I had to go by was the rough map Davie had drawn up. But we've traversed worse places with less so I wasn't worried. I'd left my woman knocked the fuck out in bed, she wasn't stirring until noon the earliest, I made sure of it. Sex is the best damn sleep-aid if you ask me. There was no one around except for the two men patrolling the front of the grounds. I guess they weren't expecting anyone to come through the woods back here. There was a faint light that came from one of the side lamps but other than that the place was in total darkness. I took out the sonar equipment I had brought along. This one was smaller than the prototype because we had worked on it ourselves and tinkered with shit until it could do ten times what it was first made to do. We could probably sell this shit to the government and make a mint, but we weren't interested in anyone knowing about the little toys we've been building since our retirement.
Oh my word, that's all I had, all I could come up with. I wasn't sure the next day if to hide or strut. Well I couldn't strut, I was too sore for that, but, well.... I now see what the girls were talking about when it comes to their men. One good thing came of it I guess, other than Ty proclaiming his love, trying his best to impregnate me and gifting me with a necklace that looked just like the other's. Baby Zak seemed to forgive me for stealing her Unca Ty. The next morning when we met the others at Zak's and Vanessa's for breakfast, she gave him a lecture or her version of one and reached out for me instead. He looked hurt and mumbled something under his breath about fucking females before Zak told him to suck it up. Her defection didn't last long however since he spent the whole of breakfast trying to win back her charms, which caused his brothers to tease him unmercifully. He didn't seem to care though as long as his baby Zak gave him one of her sweet smile
I walked into the house as calm as I could. I knew I had to keep a tight reign on myself lest the situation get out of hand, but fuck if she wasn't pushing all my limits today. "You were going to leave me?" I found her in the bedroom pacing, mad as hell."Cord told you?" She was mad at that, at the thought of my brother betraying her, how then could she not see that her running out on me was a kind of betrayal in itself? "No he didn't, I saw you." She deflated at that and looked anywhere but at me. "Come here to me." She had the good sense to do as I said and came to stand in front of me. I didn't say anything else to her, just grabbed her top between my fists and tore it down the middle before tossing the scraps aside. I ripped the skirt from around her waist in much the same way before pulling my own shirt over my head and kicking off my jeans. "Since I can't beat you because you're still getting over your attack, I'm gonna do the next best thing. If you ev
"Oh shit." Dammit, I almost made it. I saw the truck pulling through the gate behind me, and my foot almost slipped off the brake. That wasn't so bad though, what put a cold fear in my gut was the look on Ty's face as he sat in the passenger seat. Calm down Vicki it'll be okay. I told myself that as I climbed out of the car on shaking legs and my mouth dry. I was so turned around I hadn't realized I'd stopped in the middle of the damn yard instead of pulling into Ty's driveway. I heard a door slam behind me and turned to see a storm cloud headed my way. I started to back up and actually turned to run. I know anger when I see it and he was beyond pissed. I was pretty sure whatever he had in mind I wasn't going to have time to explain myself. It was as I turned seeking escape that I noticed everyone was outside at this point; even the damn baby was about to witness my humiliation. Geez all I did was go get some clothes. Yeah but you snuck out without telling anyo
I need clothes. It has been two weeks since I've been here and things had calmed down some. I didn't get the feeling that Ty and the others were on high alert any longer, and that went a long way to making me feel relaxed, maybe too relaxed. Ty had brought my purse to me only the day before. I'd been so caught up in the newness of our relationship that I had forgotten all about it. I didn't even ask if he'd gone back to that horrid place to get it or if it had been here all along. The first thing I did was charge my phone when I realized I hadn't spoken to my boss down at the diner and had no idea if I even still had a job. I was more than happy to find out when I called that I did and that they were short staffed. I agreed to start in a couple days. Ty and the guys had started going back to the construction site even though one or the other of them usually stayed behind, and then there was Davie who was always around these days with school being out. Wi
Fuck I was all the way in her. My cock jackhammered into her tight pussy over and over as she screamed and came in one long never-ending stream. "Taka it, take it take my cock." I gritted out the words to her as I watched my cock slide in and out of her. Her pussy had a grip on my meat, a stranglehold really, but that shit felt phenomenal. My balls slapped against her ass with each thrust and I pressed my thumb down on her clit for some added pleasure. She stayed with me all the way, moving and twisting her hips, fucking up at me as her feet hit me in the back. With her legs still over my shoulders I bent her in half so I could reach her tits. She went crazy on my cock when I sucked her nipple into my mouth. "Fuck me Tyler, so good." It's when I heard those words from my sweet girl's lips that I knew she was truly with me all the way. "Cum for me baby, I'm so close, yeah that's it, make that pussy cum." She dragged her nails down my arms, threw her head
The rest of us listened in from the secure room as Cord started shit off. "I don't know brother, I didn't sign up for this shit. I thought we came here to retire, settle down and get away from all that shit." "Yeah but we can't turn a blind eye to whatever the fuck is going on here brother. That's not what we do, we have too much training to just sit by idly and not do something when shit looks that off." "That's just it, we don't know what's going on if anything. I mean what do we have, a couple guys chasing the women at the beach in the dark? Who says that was anything more than two horny soldiers out for a good time on leave? And this latest thing with Ty's woman, how do we know it's even connected?" "So what are you saying, you think we should just go on with life as usual? Come on Cord that doesn't even sound like you.""What I'm saying is that we're not in the field anymore and I don't need anyone calling the plays for me. I'm not Lo's lil bitch to just
I had the biggest fucking grin on my face as I shoveled in some kind of country style eggs that were so flavorful I could've wept. No one was talking they were too busy scraping their plates. "Geez Zak at least leave the pattern on the plate." He gave me the finger behind his daughter's head. Even the baby thought the shit was good if the way she waved her legs and chortled while stealing bits from my plate was any indication. My brothers were singing her praises and my chest swelled with pride until I felt Dev and Quinn staring at me. When I scowled over at them that fucker Quinn had the nerve to mouth the words 'bitch made at me' the fuck. I'll take both of them no sweat. "Do you really like it sweetie?" She calls me sweetie, too cute, and if these fuckers don't stop choking on their shit I'll give them something to choke on the fucks. "Yeah baby it's really good." The girls chimed in and pretty soon the conversation changed from food to weddings and a
