They chuckled.

“She was exhausted. Slept through the night then woke up ready to play,” Stitch added.

“Ready to play, huh?” Lee asked as he pulled off his shirt and tossed it onto the chair.

“Oh yeah. The four of us had some quality time together,” Tex said and then left the room.

“Well, Mercury, I’m going to see if my girl needs some help.” Lee smiled and headed into the bathroom, pulling off the rest of his clothes along the way.

Stitch looked at Mercury and Mercury sat down on the edge of the bed. “What’s going on? Is everything all right?” Stitch asked him.

“Just thinking about Keith. Lee wondered what we were going to do when he’s up and about and ready to leave the hospital. Will Keith mind being here with all of us?”

“That’s what the cottage is for. We can help him during recovery, but he won’t feel awkward about our relationship with his baby sister.”

“Don’t say baby sister like that. Please.”

“Why? What’s wrong?”

“It makes me feel like I’m robbing the fucking cradle.”

“Shit, Mercury, we’re all robbing the fucking cradle with her, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t right and meant to be. We need her and she needs us. The chemistry, the love and attraction are there for all five of us. I don’t give a shit about a freaking number. I look at the emotions, the energy and power of the love we share. Shit this fucking perfect doesn’t happen too often at all. You don’t need to be a brain surgeon to figure that out.”

Mercury laughed. “You got a point, Stitch. We all love her and she loves us. What could go wrong?”

“It’s scary isn’t it?”

“What?”

“This whole thing. Finding Shawna, feeling this strongly about her, and taking a chance. Fear used to feed my ego, my decisions, and my life. I lived for fear. Now, I sit here and look at Shawna, her beautiful body, her perfect personality, and both her inner and outer beauty, and it scares the hell out of me to think I could lose her, or she could leave us.”

“I’m glad you said that because I’m feeling on edge. I’ve been uptight, antsy even for the last day or so.”

“It’s normal. We’ll get through this.”

Mercury smiled as Stitch left the room. He walked toward the bedroom window and out over the land. This was their home now, and they would raise a family here, be safe and secure here, forever.

He heard Lee calling his name and then Shawna laughing. Smiling, Mercury pulled off his shirt and tossed it onto the bed. Making love to Shawna would ease all his worries and hopefully even that antsy feeling trying to rain on his parade.

Lee had Shawna pinned against the shower wall, his cock deep inside her. She was caressing his shoulders and neck, and he was thrusting slowly into her.

“I love how big and muscular you all are, and the tattoos.”

“Is that what turns you on the most about us?” he asked her as he nibbled her neck, making more cream gush from her pussy. He could feel her pussy ease a little, letting his cock stroke smoothly in and out of her cunt.

“Well, I love lots of things about each of you, but especially your maturity, experience, and knowledge. You’re all so smart and charismatic. That comes with age and experience.”

“So you don’t mind that we’re a lot older than you?”

She smiled. “Mind? Why would I? Not with the power of the attraction we all feel. In your arms, in any of your arms, I feel safe and secure. It’s a sign of the perfection we share.”

“Mercury. Come in here,” he called out.

She scrunched up her eyebrows. “What’s wrong?”

Lee leaned forward and kissed her lips. He pulled back and smiled as he gave her hips a squeeze. “You’re prefect. Nothing’s wrong. It’s just that Mercury was feeling a bit down before and old.”

“No,” she replied as Mercury walked into the bathroom. He was discarding his clothes, and she stared at all the deep ridges of muscles and tattoos that emerged. She licked her lips.

“Hey, baby,” Mercury whispered.

She leaned forward, wrapped her arms around Mercury’s neck, and kissed him deeply. When she pulled back, she smiled. “I missed you. I feel extra safe with my older, sexy Marine here to guard me.”

His eyes smoldered with hunger. Lee knew the feeling and then as Mercury cupped Shawna’s breasts, he gave Lee a dirty look.

“You have such a big mouth. Isn’t anything we discuss in private sacred to you?”

“Sure it is. Want me to name a few times we discussed things privately that I haven’t said aloud?”

“No. Just leave it alone.”

Shawna cupped his cheeks and smiled. “I love you, and I love that you’re older, in charge, and so sexy and dominant. It makes me horny.”

Mercury’s eyes widened and Lee’s cock seemed to instantly grow an inch or so.

“Is that right, sweetness?” Mercury asked, holding her gaze. She nodded her head. “Then I guess you need another cock in you, don’t ya, love?”

“Definitely.”

He kissed her mouth.

Lee turned around and leaned against the back of the large shower. He caressed his finger down her spine and ass until he found the puckered hole.

“Oh, Lee, please. I need you to move faster,” she told him.

“You’re in charge, baby. Come on and ride me,” he said, and she did. She began to thrust up and down on his shaft, so he leaned back against the wall of the shower. Behind her Mercury lowered to one knee and began to play with her ass.

“Oh!” She moaned aloud as water dripped over her mouth, down her chin and breasts. She looked so sexy.

“What is Mercury doing to you?” he asked her.

“He’s licking and fingering my…Oh!” She moaned and then Mercury stood up. She pushed forward, sending Lee back against the wall and slightly lifting her ass toward Mercury.

“Here we go, baby. Just the three of us,” Mercury said, and a moment later she felt the thick mushroom tip press firmly against her puckered hole. Shawna lifted up and then back down, increasing her speed as Mercury breached her anus. The men moaned, holding themselves inside of her a moment as they caught their breath.

“Sweet Jesus, your ass is tight, baby,” Mercury said. She moaned and thrust backward. In a flash both men were counterthrusting one another’s strokes, and she was holding on for dear life. In and out, up and down, they made love to her in the shower. She called their names, panted and moaned, then screamed her release just as Lee and Mercury found theirs.

“That was amazing,” Lee whispered, kissing her cheeks and shoulder.

“I love you, baby. You are perfect,” Mercury told her as he kissed along her shoulder and neck.

Lee smiled wide and Shawna hugged him tight.

“It doesn’t get any better than this, Mercury, don’t you think?” he asked over her shoulder. Mercury caressed his palms down Shawna’s back and ass cheeks.

“It sure as shit doesn’t. Plus, making love in the shower makes me think of all the other places I want to make love to Shawna.”

“Really? Like where?” she asked.

He caressed up her ass cheeks and squeezed them then kissed her shoulder.

“Like that big pool outside, and on every lounge chair, whether under the glorious, smoldering sun or in the midst of the moonlight. I want you everywhere, all the time.”

She leaned forward and kissed him over Lee’s shoulders. “Maybe we’ll try the pool tomorrow. If you’re lucky,” she teased, easing down out of Lee’s arms.

“Lucky?” they both asked, and she giggled.

“Yep, ’cause I’ve got some fantasies of my own and we may be too busy filling them to have time to fulfill yours.”

Mercury grabbed her around the waist and hauled her up and against his chest. “We’ll make the time, because making love to you is more important and satisfying than anything else in this world.”

They kissed and Shawna hugged them both until the water began to get cool and they were forced to leave the shower.

He could start every day like this. In the arms of his perfect lover and under the safety and security of his team, his family.

Lee was holding her hand as they walked back into the hospital room. He was planning to leave for about twenty minutes to go fill up the gas tank before they headed back home in a few hours. She was full from lunch and feeling positive about Keith’s condition. He woke up momentarily and then closed his eyes and fell back to sleep. She hoped he saw her and knew she was safe.

The doctor wanted them to be careful because he was still at risk, even for infection.

She swallowed hard as she caressed Keith’s hand with Lee standing behind her, holding her around the waist. His support, his masculinity brought her such relief and made her feel strong and secure.

“He’s going to keep getting better and better. When he wakes up, he’s going to be hell to deal with, you know?” Lee whispered against her ear and neck. She loved the scent of his cologne, the feel of his muscular arms keeping her safe.

“I know. But I have the five of you to help me keep him in his place and of course his gunnery sergeant who will lay down the law.”

Lee chuckled. “That you do.”

He pulled back and held her hands.

“Will you be okay while I leave to get gas in the SUV and call the guys to let them know how Keith is doing?”

“Of course. I would go with you, but I want to be right here in case he wakes up momentarily again.”

“Okay.” He leaned forward and kissed her.

She smiled.

Tex was working at the office when he got a call from Sandman.

“Hey, Sandman, what’s going on?” Tex asked. He glanced at the clock. He would head home a little early today. It was Friday and he and his brothers planned on taking Shawna out to Casper’s for dinner and drinks. They wanted her to meet their friends. He wondered if Sandman was going to be there, too.

“I got some news. Just caught wind of a little chatter from an arrest someone made a few hours ago.”

“On Chavez?”

“Even better, his associate, Emoy Roman. Seems that these Hispanic men were looking for some people to play a little interference with the police. Something about a package being taken and then shipped off, and that these men needed decoys.”

“Okay, I’m not getting it. What does this have to do with Chavez?”

“I’m not a hundred percent sure aside from the fact that these men are part of a gang. That gang has members who are key associates to Emoy. They came in overnight, and the feds got some information on some sort of drug deal or, like I mentioned, a package being taken from one point to another. It could be another missile and the government isn’t taking any chances.”

“Damn. So they have people on top of it?”

“They do. I’ll keep you posted, but perhaps if the feds catch these guys with this package or follow it so they can bust their development facility, then maybe it will lead to Chavez’s location.”

“It very well could. I don’t know why they would talk to some local guys about being decoys. Aren’t they afraid that the locals will rat them out just like this guy did?”

“He saved his own ass. Had a pound of cocaine in his car, and baggies of heroine.”

“It sounds like this might be about drugs, not terrorist activity and missiles.”

“Well, they’re not taking a chance. I’ll call you soon with an update.”

“Great. Thanks.”

Tex hung up the phone and leaned back into his chair. He thought about Shawna and had that feeling in his gut. He called Lee.

“Hey, how’s our girl?”

“She’s good. I just left her to go fuel up the SUV. I was going to call you. Dragging her away from Keith is going to be like pulling out nails with my fingernails. Since Keith woke up for like half a second, she’s afraid to leave his side.”

“That’s understandable. Are you headed back to the hospital now?”

“Yep. Just finished up. We’ll call when we’re on our way back to the ranch.”

“Okay. I’m leaving soon, too. Bye, oh and give her a kiss for me.”

“My pleasure.” Tex chuckled as he disconnected the call. He worried about her being alone for only a second, then reminded himself that they were in Texas, not Mexico, and that she wasn’t in any danger. But he also wondered what package was being delivered and shipped out. Could the feds catch Chavez’s partner and would it lead to Chavez? Tex sure hoped so. He wanted this to be completely over, and until Chavez was captured or killed, he wasn’t going to let his guard down.

Shawna stood up to stretch. She walked toward the window, looking out at the sunny day slowly coming to an end. It was going to be a warm night, and the guys had plans for her to meet their friends. She felt nervous despite the fact that some of those friends were in ménage relationships, too. But she wasn’t outgoing unless it was at work to get tips. This was different. She didn’t want to answer questions about her life, or her experience. She just wanted to be with Tiek, Lee, Stitch, Tex, and Mercury. Maybe she would remain between Mercury and Tiek. They were the least conversational of the bunch and they would make her feel safe and secure. She smiled just thinking about them. She loved them. Heck, she loved making love with them. They were all so passionate, yet for big men, gentle and compassionate.
