Dwyer, Dixie Lynn - SWAT Team Two and Miss Robin Hood [The Men of Five-0 #2] (Siren Publishing LoveXtreme Forever) (23 page)

She sat there letting the tears fall as she debated about where to go. Her cell phone rang making her jump. She was a nervous wreck. Jamie could have forced himself on her or worse.

“Hello.”

“Is everything all right? We’re worried,” Sunny stated through the phone.

His strong voice penetrated her heart, and although he was angry, it made her feel safe. She couldn’t believe it as the tears rolled down her cheeks, and her throat felt as if it clogged up.

“Mel? Mel, answer me.” His voice got louder, but she began to cry as the words tumbled from her mouth.

“I can’t.”

“Are you okay? Where are you?”

She cried as the tears flowed and an overwhelming need for her men replaced the fear.

“I’m on my way,” she stated in a shaky voice then disconnected the call.

She tossed her phone into her open purse and prayed she hadn’t made the wrong decision. Her family’s lives depended on it.

* * * *

When she made it down their private road with no cars following her and to the bend before their long driveway, she could see their houses in the distance and all five men waiting for her by the front walkway.

She parked the car as Sunny got to her first.

She practically jumped into his arms. He squeezed her to him, and she closed her eyes and relished the safety of his arms.

Chapter 14

Sunny and his brothers sensed Melissa’s fear, but Sunny also smelled men’s cologne and another man’s saliva on her neck. He walked her inside with his brothers, and they entered the living room.

They all took in the sight of her, but Sunny’s eyes remained on her neck and the red marks.

It was Frankie who touched his fingers to her skin.

“Who did this to you?’ They watched as tears rolled down her cheeks.

* * * *

Logan didn’t know what happened, but whatever it was, it put a fear in Melissa. He could hear her heart racing, and her body was tense.

“Enough! Tell us what happened now!” Logan yelled, and his brothers looked at him then back at Melissa. She stood in front of the couch with her hands clasped in front of her. Her shoulders sagged, the tears ran down her cheeks, and finally her legs gave out as she fell to the couch into a sitting position. Melissa covered her face with her hands.

“I don’t know where to start. I don’t know if this is right.”

Immediately Vince was kneeling in front of her caressing her thighs.

“Calm down and take nice steady breaths,” he whispered, and she looked up at him. She stared at him in a way that showed conflict and desire. They could all see it.

Vince cupped her cheek where the red marks stood out, and she leaned into his hand.

“I can’t stop shaking.”

Vince pulled her to him, pressing his thighs between her legs, causing her to straddle his waist as he embraced her. He caressed her back, and she seemed to calm down a bit.

“Who scared you?” Sunny demanded to know.

“What will you do if I tell you?”

“Rip the fucker’s throat out,” Frankie replied then smirked at Melissa. He, too, was trying to calm her down.

She chuckled between a snort, then pulled a little away from Vince.

Vince continued to caress her thighs as she looked at each of them.

* * * *

“First of all, trust doesn’t come easy for me. I’ve been on my own for a while, and leaning on others hasn’t been an option. But I’m following my gut here. I want to trust you despite the fact that none of you were upfront about the whole wolf mating thing.”

“Sometimes the wolf’s needs overpower the man’s control,” Jake offered with a smile, letting his eyes roam over her body. Instantly her nipples hardened and her pussy leaked. The men inhaled.

“Keep that up and talking will be over for a while,” Frankie stated. He was such a tease. Their bold brown eyes held her gaze, and she knew in her heart that they would never hurt her.

Taking a deep breath, she began to explain what happened this evening and what Jamie had revealed to her.

They did not interrupt her, but their eyes changed color, and their demeanor changed. They were angry that Jamie had hurt her and had threatened her.

Vince took a seat on the couch and pulled her into his arms. She straddled his hips and cried as she revealed her fears to them.

“He told me that you would use me then get rid of me when you were done having your way.”

“That fucking piece of shit. I’ll rip out his jugular the second I get the chance,” Sunny stated.

“He lied to you, Melissa. He wants you to fear him. They’re all lies. We’ll protect you and your family.”

Melissa felt Vince’s hands caress her lower back, then her thighs. She loved the feel of his hands on her. She wanted all of them, but she was skeptical.

“He killed my sister and her husband. I’m afraid. I’m scared that he will hurt the kids.”

Logan moved behind her. She felt his hands on her shoulders as he massaged her tense muscles. She looked up at him.

“The kids are of the wolf. They will be protected by wolves from here on out, and we will get to the bottom of this.”

“They don’t show signs of being of the wolf, as you say. How can we be sure?” she asked them.

Jake now stood behind the couch and Vince’s head as he spoke to her.

“Sunny met them at your apartment. Their scent indicated that they were of the wolf. Your brother-in-law was a member of the Paruva pack. They’re related to Declan,” he stated, and she felt her insides coil up tight, and her body stiffened at the name.

The investigator who came to the bar tonight was a wolf, and his last name was Declan.

Logan squeezed her shoulders, and she swallowed hard.

“We’re ready to protect you and help you, Melissa, but you have to be honest with us. Were you involved with the drug deal near the warehouse we busted the other night?”

She felt sick to her stomach and guilty for her actions but not regretful.

“I wasn’t involved with the drug deal or the warehouse. I was responsible however for stealing the money that was going to be used to buy the drugs.”

She kept her head down until Vince placed his fingers under her chin and made her look at him.

“Why did you do it?”

She took a deep, unsteady breath as a tear fell from her eye. Then she stared at Vince, then Jake and Frankie who stood behind him. Sunny and Logan remained behind her.

This was the hardest thing she ever had to do and admit to. They could take her to jail. They could make her return the money or worse. They could hate her.

“I needed the money, and so did some friends.”

“What do you mean you needed the money? There was more than a hundred thousand dollars in that bag,” Sunny stated from the side of her.

“One hundred and fifty thousand to be precise,” she replied, and Frankie whistled.

“What did you do with the money?”

She began to explain about Celine’s situation and the banker. She went on about the food shelter and then the families in her building. She talked about Alice losing two children to foster care and how Melissa worked the system to get them back.

“This wasn’t the only hit you did, was it, Mel?” Jake asked her, and she shook her head. Then she began to tell them about the money she stole to give back to the hospital’s fundraiser and her aunt’s surgery. She explained about the clinic and how her aunt almost died then about giving up her last bit of money she had saved for college so she could legally adopt the children and afford the apartment. She found herself explaining about taking the job with Bret and getting the job at Charlie’s.

“Everything you’ve done and sacrificed has been for the sake of everyone else but you, Melissa. What did
you
get out of all this?” Frankie asked.

“It wasn’t about me. It was about them. All of them. I can’t fail those kids or my aunt. I can’t sit back and let my friend, my neighbors suffer and do nothing. Bret is a slimeball, and sure, I made a mistake getting involved with him, but it gave me the insight I needed to pull everything off. I don’t regret any of it. I took from a group of worthless, heartless drug dealers that destroy and kill children, adults, and families with their poison. Bret has more money than you can imagine. He didn’t have a clue I was responsible.”

“You could have been killed, then what?” Vince replied to her statement, his anger apparent by his glowing eyes and the forceful way he clutched her hand.

“It was a chance I was willing to take. Have you ever been so hungry or so scared that you were desperate for anything, even the smallest crumb or the tiniest bit of warmth? Probably not, because you’re wolves. I was desperate, and I was all alone. I had no choice, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.”

“What you did was illegal, and there are consequences for that,” Logan stated as he caressed her hair. She felt the tiny pricks of fear and arousal travel down her spine and straight to her cunt. The man was a lethal force.

She tilted her head up so she could look him in the eye.

“Prove it.”

His eyes glowed, and he looked menacing in his position.

“Declan has proof that can put you away for life,” Sunny replied.

“Declan doesn’t have shit. I wasn’t born yesterday, you know. I’ve covered my tracks well, and nothing he could get would stand up in a court of law,” she replied confidently.

“In a human court of law, no, but as wolves and as your mates, there must be a punishment for these crimes,” Logan told her, tugging her hair a bit harder.

Her head tilted back, and she nearly lost her balance, but his thighs held her back in place as Vince caressed her inner thighs and under her skirt.

Her chest rose and fell. She knew he had a perfect view of her breasts and cleavage. Her nipples hardened and pressed against the fabric of her lace bra.

“What kind of punishment?” she asked in a husky voice that came out way sexier than she intended.

“You’ll see,” Logan whispered then leaned down and covered her mouth with his own. His tongue dueled with hers for a moment, and her body swayed as Vince lifted her and began removing her skirt. The sound of her panties ripping, then the cool air caressing her pussy sent her body up in flames.

* * * *

Logan had a multitude of emotions. He was angry that his mate was a criminal. He was proud at her ability to evade capture and to help the needy like she had done. He was impressed with her selflessness, and he feared for her life. As her mates, he and his brothers were now responsible for her. The criminal activities had come to an end now, and he hoped that they could get her out of the trouble she was currently in. But at this moment, the scent of her arousal, the taste of her mouth and her skin, as well as the feel of her curves was calling his and his brothers’ wolves.

Logan lifted Melissa from around the waist and raised her enough for Vince to pull down his pants and remove them.

He squeezed her breasts, making sure to fondle each mound then tweak the hardened nubs.

He felt his wolf burn with need to fuck its mate. It was angry at her indiscretions, and out of all the information Melissa had shared, his wolf was pissed that she had fucked Bret.

He released her lips and held her gaze as she straddled Vince but remained on her knees above Vince’s cock.

His brother Vince continued to cup Melissa’s breasts then lick her nipples, first one then the other.

He spoke to his brothers through their link, and Vince lifted Melissa, positioning her to his liking. Vince laid on the couch with his legs over the low arm rest. He lifted Melissa then lowered her onto his cock.

Logan held a fistful of her hair in his hand and tugged. “Fuck your mate and bond with him fully. It’s going to be a long, hard night for our little criminal.” He tugged, and Melissa moaned as she caressed Vince’s chest then thrust her hips back and forth then up and down over his cock.

* * * *

Melissa felt her cream drip from her pussy, all from Logan’s commanding words. She didn’t think she would be turned on by aggression, but right now she wanted them to punish her every which way they could and to take away her fear. She had been lost on her way here. She was unsure whether coming to the brothers’ was the right thing to do or an even bigger mistake. But feeling Vince’s thick cock move back and forth against her vaginal muscles, she felt safe, and she felt alive.

Logan pressed his large hand against her spine, trailing a finger up and down each bump as Vince pulled her nipples. Logan pressed her lower, giving Vince the opportunity to lick and suck on her sensitive breast.

Her body orgasmed as tiny vibrations rocked her insides. She thrust her hips up and down faster, her pussy clenching Vince’s cock and taking him deep. She was caught up in the need for him, for cock, and for the connection she felt. When Logan pressed a finger to her anus she screamed another release.

Melissa was on fire. Now she felt a strong pull to have all her men. She looked up and saw Sunny, Frankie, and Jake standing around the couch watching her.
