The American Soldier Collection 17: Love a Woman Right (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) Page 14

  “Let’s pack up. Now,” Ford said. Ghost kissed her again as he slid his hand from her bikini and gave her ass a tap. “Move it, woman.”

  * * * *

  Lois was getting washed up and settling Kenny down when Ford’s cell phone started ringing. “It’s Sandman. Let me take this. You guys go get Lois and bring her over while we get dinner ready.”

  He walked into the living room as his brothers prepared for dinner and a night with Lois alone.

  “Hey, Sandman, what’s up? Looking to order more cookies?” he teased, feeling in a happy mood after the day they’d had with Lois and anticipating the wonderful night ahead.

  “As much as I would love to be calling about that, I’m afraid this is official business.”

  Ford got his friend’s serious tone immediately. “What’s going on?” he asked firmly, instantly in sheriff mode.

  “It’s complicated, but basically. as the sheriff—and more importantly, as guardian to Lois—you need to know.”

  “Oh, shit, what?” he asked, his heart beginning to pound. With every detail Sandman began to explain, Ford got angrier and angrier, but then had more questions.

  “Why would she know where these drugs and guns were?”

  “They don’t know if she does or doesn’t. There was a huge bust in Dallas just yesterday. Two of the guys who worked for Cornero say he’s trying to find the drugs and guns because the guns have government-issued serial numbers on them. That evidence strengthens the case for the detectives and the feds. If by any chance Lois knows where they might be, then we need to find out. They believe she might, because Caden, her ex, never made the delivery. He went right to Lois’s apartment in a fit of rage.”

  “I get it, so what do you want me to do?”

  “I want you to ask her about the drugs and the guns and whether or not Caden told her where they are or if she knows where they are. It will help with the case and let Cornero know he’s finished and there’s nowhere else to run.”

  “Okay. We’re getting together shortly.”

  “Let me know immediately. It’s important.”

  Ford got off the phone with Sandman and ran his fingers through his hair. He didn’t know how he was going to bring this up to Lois without upsetting her and making her remember that dreadful night, but he had to. They could put this guy Cornero behind bars forever.

  He heard everyone entering the kitchen and the sound of Lois’s laughter filled the house. He was in love with Lois. He wanted to tell her how special she was tonight when they made love to her.

  He was still holding the phone as they all walked into the living room. Her smile faded and she stood still. “What’s wrong?” she asked, and his brothers’ expressions mimicked hers.

  He took a deep breath.

  “Lois, I just got off the phone with Sandman. He’s got some friends, investigators who are working a case involving men associated with your ex, Caden.”

  She covered her mouth and stepped back. Laverty wrapped his arms around her and held her. “What’s going on? Is she in danger?” Ghost asked.

  “No. It’s just some information they’re after.”

  “Information?” she asked and looked scared and also a little guilty. He didn’t like the gut feeling he had.

  “Let’s sit down,” he told them.

  Laverty brought her over to the couch and she sat down next to him, and Evan took the seat next to her. Ghost remained standing with his arms crossed in front of his chest.

  “I hate to do this to you, Lois. I know you don’t want to think about that night, but it’s important. There’s this man, Cornero, that the detectives and feds are after.”

  She tightened up and her eyes widened. She knew the man—what the fuck? Ford squinted at her and she looked down at her hands.

  “You know this guy. Who the fuck is he?” Ghost asked, obviously picking up on her expression as well.

  She went to speak and then stopped herself. Was she going to lie to him, to them?

  “I know him. I know who he is.”

  “How?” Ghost asked.”

  “Ghost, let me do my job so we can move on with our night and be done with this shit,” he stated firmly.

  “How do you know him?”

  “From Caden. Caden and Don worked for him. He was into a lot of bad things, like guns and drugs, and was the one who started their little operation,” she told them.

  “So you met him before and were present during some of these things?” he asked, feeling like this questioning was going to put his woman in connection with criminal activity that could get her arrested and charged. He ran his hands through his hair.

  “I didn’t do anything or help in any way. It was years ago that I met Cornero, when I' first met Caden and we started seeing one another. When I got pregnant with Kenny and Caden was pissed off at me, Cornero offered to help me.”

  “And you accepted his help?” Evan asked. She shook her head.

  “Never.”

  “Did you ever see him again?”

  “Only one other time.”

  “When was that?”

  She was silent a moment.

  “Damn it, Lois, when the fuck was it and why? If you did something wrong, then we need to have our stories straight so you don’t wind up behind fucking bars. This guy killed cops, agents, and even soldiers.”

  “I was protecting my family,” she said as the tears filled her eyes and she stared right at him.

  * * * *

  Lois was shaking. She couldn’t believe this was coming back to haunt her. She’d only delivered money to him. She didn’t deliver guns or drugs, but she did hide the stash to get back at Caden for making her do the money exchange with Cornero. She couldn’t tell her men that Cornero had a thing for her and wanted her. What would they think? That she was a tease, or that she gained the interest of drug dealers and military men gone bad? They would look at her like she was trash, all because of Caden and what he forced her to do. Caden had threatened to kill Val and Kenny. What choice did she have? Even now, after Caden was dead, he was still ruining her life, her future, every small bit of happiness she had.

  “You tell us right now exactly what went down. Cornero is after these drugs and money that disappeared. Apparently the guns have serial numbers on them that were never removed and could connect Cornero with confiscated guns from other crimes and raids. Tell me what the hell went down and what you know,” Ford demanded, standing there with his hand on his hip and looking at her like she was a criminal.

  She felt tears roll down her cheeks.

  “I did what I had to do to protect my family and it still nearly cost all our lives. You’re telling me now, after months, almost a year of putting this stuff behind me, that it’s not over?”

  “Apparently not, because they think Caden told you where the guns and drugs they’re looking for are stashed. What do you mean you did what you had to do to protect your family?” he added.

  “I hadn’t seen Caden in a year. He had no contact with Kenny and me once Kenny was born. He would show up at the bakery when I got off work and he would threaten me and tell me he wanted me back, but he didn’t want a kid.” She swallowed before trying to continue.

  “Asshole,” Laverty whispered.

  “He showed up the night before the attack and threatened me again. This time he asked me to do a delivery for him. He showed me pictures of Valentina at work and Kenny at the nursery school.”

  “A delivery? What the fuck, Lois? You delivered drugs, guns, what?” Ford raised his voice.

  “He was going to kill Valentina at work. One sniper shot to her head. And he threatened to kill Kenny on the playground, so don’t you dare stand there and question my train of thought. He was not right in the head. I was scared of him and knew he would do it. I couldn’t let that happen. Valentina and Kenny were all I had,” she cried.

  Evan patted her hand and Ford exhaled. “What the fuck did you deliver?” he asked her firmly.

  “Money.” He
squinted at her. “It was a small envelope of money from Caden to Cornero.”

  “Not the drugs and the guns?” he asked. She shook her head.

  “I knew where Caden kept them and I was so pissed off that he threatened me the way he did. I was angry with him still having this control over me and I…

  “What? You did what?” Ford asked.

  “I went and moved the drugs and guns. The stash was in a delivery truck parked in a parking garage. I moved it and then figured he would think it was one of his other guys who backstabbed him, or maybe even Cornero, and that they would kill one another or focus on that instead of my family and me. When I got to my apartment and I saw his car there, I couldn’t understand why. Then I heard Kenny crying and got inside only for Caden and Don to start hitting me. Caden was so pissed off. He was the one that had sent me to deliver the money.”

  “He found out about the drugs and guns missing?” Ghost asked.

  “No. He was supposed to be making the delivery an hour later, but then he attacked me. Valentina was locked in the bathroom and Don had his foot on Kenny’s back as he cried for me to help him and for Caden to stop hurting me. Caden ripped my clothes from my body and was striking me and then bent me over the couch.”

  She was sobbing now and shaking, rocking back and forth as she told them how she was raped and every detail of how Valentina got through the bathroom door, fought to rescue her and Kenny, got shot, and then killed Caden and Don.

  Evan pulled her into his embrace and held her.

  She wiped her eyes and Ford got down on his knees in front of her. He cupped her cheeks.

  “I’m sorry, baby. I’m so sorry that you had to go through that. That Kenny heard it all and that, even now, it seems like Caden is still hurting you. But it’s going to end here. I’m going to call Sandman and give him the location of those guns and drugs. It will all be over.”

  “Will they charge her?” Ghost asked.

  “No. I’ll tell Sandman everything and he’ll work it out to protect her. We said we would always be here for you. We’re your guardians, baby, and we love you so much. No one can ever hurt you. Not with us around. Not now, when you’ve told us everything.”

  She hugged him tightly and thought about how Cornero touched her that night, too. How he caressed her cheek and offered to take care of her and Kenny if she would be his woman. She’d told him she wasn’t interested and he’d said maybe she would change her mind. It had ended like that and she didn’t think any of it mattered. Not now. Not with him being hunted by the feds and police, and not with her giving the location of the drugs and the money. It was all over, and she could finally rest assured that she was safe here in Salvation and in her lovers’ arms.

  * * * *

  Lois was so upset that she didn’t feel like eating. Ghost listened to Ford talk with Sandman over the phone, working out a way to ensure Lois’s safety and that she wouldn’t be charged criminally for delivering the money and moving the truck. Sandman assured Ford that the feds and the detectives didn’t care about that. They just wanted those guns and those serial numbers to seal the deal on the case. Detectives were interrogating Cornero’s men and the guys that worked with Caden and Don. The entire operation was going down.

  Ghost walked into the bathroom to find Lois standing there staring at herself in the mirror. “Are you okay?” he asked her. She looked up and stared at him through the reflection in the mirror. He stepped in behind her and she closed her eyes as he wrapped his arms around her waist. He could feel how tense she was, how her body shook, and it upset him. Ghost kissed her neck and she leaned back, relaxing a little more as he kissed her skin.

  “It all worked out. Ford ensured that you won’t be charged with any crimes. They’re just glad to get their hands on those weapons.” She exhaled.

  “I don’t know what to say. I didn’t think at the time. I was angry, desperate to have some sort of revenge against Caden, and after what he did and how everything went down, I never really thought the missing drugs and guns would mean anything. I figured some cops patrolling the parking garage would find it and then figure it out.”

  “It doesn’t matter anymore. It’s all over.”

  “Valentina didn’t know anything about this. I never told her. She saved our lives. She was shot and nearly died and the next several months we were all trying to recover.” The tears filled her eyes, but she didn’t cry. He turned her around in his arms and hugged her tightly. He caressed her along her back through the dress she wore. He slid his hand under the material and slowly lifted it up and off of her.

  “Let us make love to you, baby, and take all those bad memories away. I love you so much. Do you know that?” he asked, cupping her cheeks as she held on to his wrists. “I love you, too, Ghost. All of you.” He pressed his lips to hers and kissed her deeply.

  He used his hands to push her panties down and then he unclipped her bra as she pressed against his body and rocked her hips. She was moaning into his mouth as he lifted her up and she straddled his waist.

  He carried her out of the bathroom and straight to the bed, where he found Laverty and Evan waiting, stroking their cocks. Ford was pulling off his shirt.

  He laid her down on the bed and caressed her thighs open. Laverty and Evan took position on each side of her and raised her arms above her head and feasted on her lips and her breasts. She moaned and tilted her hips upward.

  “Please, Ghost. I need you. I need all of you. Everything is perfect when you’re inside of me.”

  He stroked a finger to her pussy and leaned over her. “I know, baby. Together it’s all perfect. We love you and this is meant to be.” He slowly began to ease his finger in and out of her pussy and then he lowered his mouth to her belly, her ribs, and then her pussy to feast on her.

  “I love you, Lois,” Laverty told her.

  “I love you, too,” she said and he kissed her.

  “I can’t hold back. I need her so badly,” Ghost said and released his hold to stand up. Evan lifted her up and she straddled his waist and kissed him gingerly, taking her time, pressing her lips softly around his mouth and over his lips.

  As soon as he was undressed, he laid on the bed and Laverty released her lips and passed her to Ghost. She immediately took his cock into her pussy and they both moaned aloud.

  “We’ll always protect you. Always,” he said and began to thrust up into her.

  Behind her, Evan stood, and Lois jerked and then moaned. “Evan,” she whispered.

  He knew the moment that Evan’s cock slid into her ass. The tight, deep feeling consumed them as they began to set a pace thrusting in and out of Lois’s body.

  “God, baby, I won’t last. You’re so perfect and amazing. It just keeps getting better and better. Fuck,” Laverty said and thrust faster and faster as Lois cried out her first release. Laverty came and then Ghost shifted her to her back, needing to be as deep inside of her as he could get. He lifted her thighs up against his shoulders and stroked into her harder, faster than he’d ever taken her before.

  “Ghost! Oh God, Ghost, please,” she begged and then moaned as she came. Ghost followed, filling her with his seed and hoping one day they could all start a family and expand the one they had. He kissed her gingerly until Evan slid onto the bed.

  * * * *

  Ford was feeling so much right now. He was angry, concerned, and also kind of proud of Lois. She was protecting her family when she made the decision to relocate those drugs and guns. If Caden had ever found out, then he would have killed her trying to get her to tell him. They were all lucky to be alive. She deserved nothing but happiness and safety and he couldn’t shake this uneasy feeling in his gut. He just needed to know that the case was closed and that all those involved were captured and sentenced. Then he would have peace of mind.

  “Evan!” he heard her cry out as Evan thrust into her next, not giving her any reprieve as Ghost pulled out of her.

  “I need you, baby. I love you so much. I want to give you everyth
ing and make you so happy and never sad again.” He kissed her deeply and stroked into her pussy faster and faster. The bed rocked and then Evan lifted her arms above her head and thrust into her as he sat up. Her breasts rocked and bounced, and her body looked so damn sexy Ford knew he was feeling just like his brothers, desperate to possess her, claim her, and be so deep in her cunt that there was no way anything could harm her or hurt her again.

  “Oh, baby. Oh!” Evan grunted his release and then kissed her neck and her shoulder as she hugged him tightly.

  He eased out of her body and Ford was there, looking down at her.

  They stared at each other and he curled his finger at her to come to him as he stood at the edge of the bed. She eased up and crawled toward him, her mouth inches from his cock. She looked at him with hooded eyes as he ran his hands through her hair.

  “You belong to us. There’s no turning back and no more secrets ever again. Got it?” he asked and she nodded her head as he lifted his cock to her mouth. She took him into her hot mouth and immediately began to suck on him. He closed his eyes and ran his hands along her hair, her back, and then her face again. He watched her swallow as much of him as she could into her mouth. Her head bobbed up and down and his dick grew thicker, harder. He pulled from her mouth knowing he wanted, needed, to come inside of her body.

  She gasped and he lifted her up to kiss her before he released her lips and turned her around. She faced the bed on hands and knees and he slid his palm down her back, pressing her chest against the comforter. “Open those legs wider,” he told her and she moaned as she did. He saw the thick cream leak from her cunt and he used his finger to stroke into her pussy and then lather her juices over her anus. Back and forth he stroked her, from cunt to anus, and then he slid his finger into her ass.

  “Ford. Oh, God, Ford, please,” she moaned and begged as she wiggled her ass.

  Smack.

  “Oh!”
