“Penny!” I hear Ryker’s voice and know they’ve all arrived. I reluctantly pull my lips away from Brax to look over his shoulder at the other four men. Silver holds the reins of both horses as he watches me with an indecipherable look on his face. The way we left things, right before I was taken, I’m not sure where we stand. I worry if I say anything, it will spook him and he’ll pull away.
As Brax sets me down, my eyes move to Ryker. He practically tackles me, lifting me off my feet and spinning me around beforeputting me down again. He grabs my face and kisses me, then pulls back to look me in the eye. “You’re alright? Did they hurt you?” His thumb gently caresses my bruised cheek from where Jarid hit me. “They did,” he growls through clenched teeth. His eyes move over my shoulder to Drake. “Did you do this to her?”
“No, Ryker, this was done by one of the bandits. This is Drake, he’s not one of them, he saved me from them.”
Silver suddenly appears with the canister of magical healing cream in his hand. “Can I put this on your face, Sweetheart?” I nod and he gently rubs it into my cheek. “Do you need it anywhere else?” he asks, his eyes searching my body.
“No, he just hit me in the face.” He nods and something flashes in eyes but he quickly moves back to the horses.
“You’re the masked man who keeps saving her,” Indy states, stepping up to me with his eyes on Drake.
“I am.”
“You’ve been following her, why?” Indy gently pulls me from Ryker, wrapping his arms around me, but his eyes never leave Drake. He turns us sideways and Apollo’s strong arms come around me from behind, completing my twin sandwich.
I watch Drake as he takes a step towards us, Indy and Apollo’s arms tighten on instinct.
“Because she’s mine. I’ve been following and watching my Little Mouse since the mating hunt. And now… I’ve finally caught her.” His dark hazel eyes turn to me and I see a tiny smirk playing at the corner of his mouth.
“The mating hunt? But that was months ago,” Ryker says in confusion.
Drake nods before speaking. “I’ve been waiting for the right time to claim her as mine, and now she has accepted me, and let me claim her mind and body, I won’t be leaving her again.”
I feel my cheeks grow bright red as all eyes turn to me. He basically just told them I’d slept with him while they were out there,worried about me.Shit, will they be mad?
“Is that true, Sugar?” Indy asks, using his finger to tilt my head up to him. “Did you choose him, too?”
I lick my lips before answering, “Yes, are you mad?”
A frown crosses his face before he answers, “No, Sugar, of course I’m not mad.”
“Now you’re all here, we can proceed with the wedding. I believe Apollo needs to wed her too, yes?” Holy smokes, this guy did not waste any time! Before I can respond, Brax pushes through the twins and lifts me into his arms.
“Before any of that, I need a moment with her.” He carries me a mere ten feet away, dropping me on my feet, before pressing my back into a tree, caging me in.
“What is it, Brax?” I ask, softly stroking his cheek.
“First, we lose you in the desert, thinking you’re dead. Then we lose you to the bandits, thinking the worst has happened. It has been way too long since I’ve held you, I… I just need…”
“You need what, Brax?” I whisper.
“You,” he says before his lips find mine. I wrap my arms around his neck as his tongue presses into my mouth. He knows the way I loved to be kissed, as he dominates my mouth with his. I moan against him, and when his hands squeeze my ass, I leap onto him, as his hands help support me.
He presses my back against the tree and I link my legs behind him. One of his hands moves to pinch my nipple through my dress, making me gasp into his mouth. Suddenly, all of Drake’s foreplay is coming back to me, and I realize how wet I still am.
I pull my mouth back from his as I move a hand to rub his rock hard cock through his pants, whispering, “I need you, Brax, now.” He kisses me again and I start to undo his pants, pulling his cock free. His hand that’s between us starts to pull up the fabric of my dress until my bare pussy is pressing against his cock.
“Baby,” he hisses. “You’re drenched already.”
I rub myself against him, coating him in my wetness. “Drake was teasing me while we were waiting for you all. But he wouldn’t let me come, he said I had to save it for you.”
“Fuck that’s so hot, Baby. Thinking of you being teased as you watch us getting closer and closer. I bet you’re aching for release now, aren’t you, you poor thing?”
“Yes.” I nod my head eagerly, making him smile. He lifts my body to line up his hard cock with my soaking wet entrance, before slowly lowering me onto him. “Yes! Fuck, Brax!” I moan as his thick cock stretches me out.
“Mmm, Baby, it’s been far too long since I’ve felt you around me, I’m not sure I can fully hold back from taking you hard and fast.”
“Then don’t,” I whisper, before softly biting his earlobe.
