Van, Becca - Her Shadow Men [Slick Rock 5] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) (15 page)

Britt exchanged another look with Daniel as Debbie asked, “Training?”

“Why yes.” Parker slumped down onto the sofa near Debbie. He looked like he was having trouble keeping his eyes open. “Didn’t ‘your men’ tell you? I trained with them. We spent years together learning how to protect this country, but I knew I was destined for greater things.” He paused to lift the bottle to his lips again. “I’m so looking forward to this reunion.”

He was so close to passing out, Britt thought. He made himself wait just a little longer. Already Parker’s eyes were slipping shut. The hand around the liquor bottle slackened.

Britt stood perfectly still, breathing shallowly so he couldn’t be heard. He watched and waited for what seemed like hours until finally Parker’s eyelids closed for the final time.

Britt glanced to his brother long enough for Daniel to sign,
“Get the detonator.”
He nodded and stepped out of the shadows.

Debbie’s face turned toward them as they came into view. Britt registered her surprised expression, but he went to the couch first. Parker was so drunk and relaxed now that the hand holding the detonator was open. He plucked it up and placed it in his pocket. He flipped Parker over and cuffed him. The man didn’t even stir.

He glanced up at Debbie and saw the tears in her eyes as she looked at him. Daniel got her out of the cuffs and rope and pulled the explosive jacket from her body. Britt picked up his cell and called Luke and Damon in to get Parker, and then he tapped on the window, signaling Remy. When Britt turned back to Debbie, he saw that Daniel had gathered her in his arms.

It was over, and their woman was safe.

Chapter Fifteen

Debbie clutched at Daniel as he picked her up from the armchair and into his arms. He and Britt had materialized out of thin air. Their bodies had seemed to emerge from the shadows. She was glad her men had such abilities and were there to rescue her.

Now that she was safe and not wrapped in explosives, reaction set in. She couldn’t stop shaking and shivering, and even her teeth were chattering. Britt looked at her, and then he turned away. She knew that he felt guilty she been held hostage, and she would deal with that later, but right now she needed to get her body back in control. She heard footsteps entering the house and cringed, hiding her face against Daniel’s neck.

“It’s all right, honey, you’re safe now. It’s Luke, Damon, and Remy. Shh, Deb, you’re fine,” Daniel crooned.

Debbie felt tears prick her eyes, and then she sobbed against him. She clutched Daniel’s shirt in her hands and cried her heart out. She had never been so scared in her life. She felt as if she had just looked death in the face.

Finally her crying slowed to only the occasional hiccup. She slumped on Daniel, her body relaxing for the first time in hours. She was so tired, and she felt like she could sleep for a week.

She released Dan’s shirt and wiped her hands over her face then sat up. She was in his lap on the armchair she’d been tied to. His arms loosened, and she looked up to see concern on his face as he watched her in turn.

“I’m sorry.”

“Shh, honey. You have nothing to be sorry for,” Daniel replied.

“I got your shirt all wet.”

“Honey, do you think I care about my shirt? God, you can cry on me anytime, Debbie. I love you. It killed me to see you so scared.”

“I’m okay. I knew you and Britt would save me. God, I need a drink. Do we have any more whiskey?”

“Here you go, baby,” Britt said. Debbie took the glass from his hand and downed the contents in one go. She gasped as the alcohol burned a path down her esophagus and hit her stomach. It warmed her from the inside out.

“Thanks,” Debbie said and looked up at Britt. He looked so damn remorseful, and she knew he was blaming himself for what she’d been through. “It wasn’t your fault.”

“Yes, it was. We should never have left you alone. I can’t believe I was so stupid,” Britt said.

“You didn’t leave me alone. The alarm was on and you sent Remy to watch over me,” Debbie replied.

“Yeah, like that made a difference,” Britt stated with anger directed at himself. “He still got past Remy and the alarm.”

Debbie didn’t want him to blame himself, but something Parker had said came back to mind. “How did he do that?” she asked.

She caught one of those looks passing between the brothers. “It’s like he said,” Britt admitted. He shook his head bitterly. “He was trained the same way we were. We should have known that there was no way to keep him from where he wanted to go.” Overcome with anger, he turned away.

Debbie looked to Daniel for an explanation. “Parker never saw things our way,” he said. “He sees his abilities and his training as an excuse to hurt people, not protect them.” He looked past her. Debbie followed his gaze and found that the sheriffs were hauling an insensible Parker from the room at that moment. He was still out cold. “He never knew his own limits, either,” Daniel added.

“That’s something else we should have known.” Britt’s bitter tone made Debbie look toward him. He stood at the window where Parker himself had been only minutes before. His glare looked furious enough to melt the glass. “We should have known. We should have protected you better.”

“Britt, stop it. I knew Remy was there. I saw him, and that made me feel a bit safer. I knew you and Daniel would come for me. I knew you would save me. Stop berating yourself for something which was completely out of your control,” Debbie said with frustration. “If you had been here you would probably be dead. He was after you two in the first place. If he killed you, then where would I be? Things worked out this way for a reason. Just be thankful you were able to rescue me. I know I am. Thank you both so much for saving my life. I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you.”

“Are you asking us to marry you, honey?” Daniel asked and smiled at her.

Debbie smiled back. She had known if she got out of the situation with Parker alive, she was going to grab hold of her men and never let go. Life was too short to worry about getting hurt. She loved Britt and Daniel so much and needed them to be with her for the rest of her life. She wanted to marry them, have their children, and grow old with them. She was so excited to be with them and intended to spend the rest of her life showing them how much she loved them.

“Well, yeah, I guess I am,” Debbie replied.

“Baby. God, I love you so much,” Britt rasped and plucked her from Daniel’s lap up into his arms. He hugged her fiercely, and even though it was a little uncomfortable, she didn’t tell him to ease up. She wrapped her arms around his neck, her legs around his waist, and clung to him just as tightly.

“Does that mean you’ll marry me?”

“Yes, baby. A thousand yeses. No one is going to get to you again,” Britt declared emotionally.

Debbie lifted her head from his shoulder, cupped his cheek in her hand, and kissed him. She lost herself in his touch and taste. She never wanted to let him go. She moaned into his mouth as his tongue tangled with hers and then she felt Daniel at her back. He shifted her hair aside, hugging her from behind, and kissed along the back of her neck. She gentled the kiss and lifted her head. She stared into Britt’s blue eyes and knew she was where she wanted and was meant to be. Sandwiched between her two shadow men.

The next few hours were busy with giving statements to Luke and Damon. Her two men stayed by her side, holding her hands and offering her comfort. Telling the two sheriffs about the ordeal brought up all her anxiety, so she kept herself busy. She brewed coffee, cleaned up the mess on the floor Parker had made, and cooked a pot of chili. By the time they all left, Debbie wanted to shower and fall into bed. She was so tired now she could barely stand.

She was thankful for Britt and Daniel’s help in the bathroom, and then Britt carried her to bed. Between her two men again, she snuggled up to Britt as Daniel cuddled her from behind. But sleep eluded her. She was restless and couldn’t seem to settle.

“Are you okay, honey?” Daniel murmured against her ear.

“Yes. No. I don’t know. I can’t get my mind to shut off.”

“Do you want us to take your mind off things? We can make you feel good, baby,” Britt said quietly.

“You don’t have to,” Debbie replied.

“We know that, honey, but we want to. Just lie back, close your eyes, and let us pleasure you,” Daniel rumbled.

Daniel eased Debbie onto her back, leaned over, and gently kissed her. She knew he was holding back from her, because his kisses were usually more dominant and carnal. She was glad he was being careful of her, but she didn’t want that right now. She lifted her arms and clutched at his hair with her hands. She tightened her grip and pulled his mouth harder against hers. He certainly got the message. He let go and began to kiss her in earnest. His tongue swept into her mouth, tangling it with hers, and then he withdrew and nipped her lower lip. He took one of her breasts in his hand and kneaded her flesh. She arched up against him and groaned into his mouth when he began rubbing his thumb over her nipple.

Debbie mewled when she felt Britt kissing his way down her torso and over her stomach. He nudged her legs apart with his hands. She shifted as the mattress dipped and he was now between her thighs. She sobbed with frustration as Daniel removed his mouth from hers, and then she cried out as he sucked her turgid peak into his mouth.

She thrust her hips up when Britt ran his tongue through her moist labia and flicked it over her clit. Her pussy clenched, begging to be filled, and her sensitive bundle of nerves throbbed. Britt gently pushed two fingers into her pussy. She keened and reached down to clutch his head to her.

“Easy, baby. Just relax, we’ll give you what you need,” Britt growled out. She whimpered when he began pumping his fingers in and out of her cunt as he lapped over her clit and Daniel sucked on one nipple while pinching the other. Liquid heat traveled from her breasts down to her belly to pool in her womb and pussy. She loved how her two men made her feel and knew she would never be able to get enough of them.

She moved her hand to Daniel’s stomach and slid it down until she found his cock. She fisted him and began to pump along the length of his shaft. He groaned against her breast, sending ripples of vibration into her. Her muscles were beginning to quiver, and she was starting to climb the pinnacle toward ecstasy. She bucked her hips up and cried out as Britt’s digits ran over her G-spot. He slurped against her flesh, and then he sucked her clit into his mouth.

Debbie screamed as her internal walls clamped down around his fingers and she flew into the sky. Neither of her men stopped pleasuring her until the last wave of her climax faded away. She gasped in a breath and flopped down on the bed, her limbs heavy and replete from her orgasm.

Her men drew up beside her, pulled the covers over her, and cuddled close to her again. She felt tears prick her eyes at the unselfish way they had just loved her, and she knew even though they must be aching, they weren’t going to push her to relieve them. Well, she loved them too much, and she was having none of that, because she wanted to feel them inside her. She felt so connected to them when they loved her together. It felt as if they touched each other’s souls.

Debbie squirmed and rolled until she was in the perfect spot. She took Britt’s cock in hand and sucked him into her mouth. She smiled around his flesh when she heard him moan.

“Baby, you don’t have to do that. We know how tired you are.”

Debbie pulled her mouth from his cock to answer. “I know. I want to. I love you both so much. I need to do this. Please, just let me.” She lowered her head again and took him into the depths of her mouth. He was so big she could have wrapped both her fists around the flesh she couldn’t get into her mouth. She bobbed up and down his length, gliding her hand around the remainder of his dick. She took him as deep as she could without gagging and slid back up again. She swirled her tongue around the corona of his cock and then laved the sensitive underside. She moaned when she felt him jerk in her hand.

She reached over, feeling her way to find Daniel, and then gripped his cock in her free hand. She pumped up and down his shaft and was rewarded when he groaned. Debbie wanted to finish what she’d started, but she also wanted them inside her, together. She let go of Daniel, licked the length of Britt’s erection, and pushed the covers back from over her head. She blinked in the light from the bedside lamp, and then she began to crawl up over Britt. She sat on his thighs and held her hand out to Daniel. When he took hers, she looked at him and back to Britt, pleading to them with her eyes.
