He lightly nibbled her earlobe. “Come for me, woman. Now,” he ordered in that damn tone of his, and she did just that. It was like her body knew and was already conditioned to be responsive and trusting to her commander, the one in charge. That she accepted him in such a way made her realize that she finally did feel like part of their team, part of her five Marines. She rocked and thrust back as wave upon wave of pleasure burst the flood gates open. She was nothing but a pile of exhausted mush as hands and lips kissed and caressed her everywhere. Their soft words of affection consumed her heart as tears filled her eyes and pleasure, peacefulness like nothing ever before, consumed her. Mercury slowly pulled from her body. No, stay inside of me. I love how close we are and how protected I feel.
Tiek lifted her up into his arms. “I love you, baby.”
She smiled and reached up to caress his cheek, and kept her head against his shoulder. “I love you, too.”
Chapter 14
“I have men in place. I am just waiting for the opportunity to grab her without making too much of a scene,” Emoy told Chavez over the phone.
“Very good. I don’t want this to get screwed up. You grab her and do whatever you need to do to get her here. The jet can be ready in twenty minutes from the time you call it in. That’s your window.”
“I know. But I’m going to ask you one last time. Are you sure you want her? That you want to have a woman like her?”
“Of course. We’ve been over this before. Why are you asking me again?”
Emoy was silent. He wasn’t sure how to put this new information. “Well, my men have brought forward some interesting news. The five soldiers from Keith’s team, well, she’s involved with all of them. Romantically that is.”
Chavez didn’t respond at first and Emoy could hear him breathing.
“Then use that to get her to cooperate. Tell her that her brother and her five lovers will die if she doesn’t go willingly with you. Tell her you have men in place to take them out, sniper style. Then she’ll know you can be successful because her lovers won’t have a clue. When she gets here, I’ll work on cleansing her. We both will, because this means she can take two men at once and we won’t need to coddle her. Call me when you have her in your possession and are touching ground in Brazil.”

Shawna was thrilled. Keith seemed to be making some progress and the doctors were going to remove his breathing tube. She stood to the side as Mercury kept his hands on her shoulders.
“He’s going to make it. He’s a fighter, and there’s nothing that can keep that stubborn man down,” Mercury whispered to her.
When the doctor and nurses were done, Shawna approached the bed and smiled. She caressed her brother’s cheek, the absence of the breathing tube making her believe that Keith was almost out of the woods. “I love you, Keith. Keep fighting. We’re all here.”
She watched Keith for hours, letting every movement or sound he made increase her positive attitude that he would pull through. The men came and went, taking turns staying with her, and talking to Keith just in case he could hear them. When Lee whispered that he was in love with Shawna, she smiled and felt her heart soar with the same love for him. They were slowly breaking down her wall of fear and loving her every day and night. They had yet to take her all together as they did a week ago. She felt as if Mercury thought it was too much for her to handle because of her petite size. As he sat beside her now, just the two of them, she took his hand into hers and played with his long, thick fingers. One leg was tucked under her bottom, and looking over at him, she felt so loved and complete.
“Do you think I’m fragile or weak, physically?” she whispered.
Mercury moved his other arm over her shoulder and leaned close to her, his face near her shoulder. She held his gaze, those piercing blue eyes sending her body in arousal turmoil. She wanted to jump onto his lap and feel his hands, his mouth everywhere on her body. But she also felt that twinge of superiority from Mercury that made her remember that he was in charge. He was the gunnery sergeant to his men, the leader of their team, their family, and she accepted him as the alpha male he was.
She continued to hold his hand in hers and stroke the digits.
“Shawna, I love you, baby. My job is to protect you, keep you safe and unharmed.”
“What does that have to do with what happened last week? About the love we all made together?”
He smiled then leaned closer and kissed her temple. “Last week was beautiful just like our first time making love, and every time we’ve made love. But we are five very big men. You’ve never been in a relationship like this. Hell, you never even had sex before and suddenly five men want you. We just want to protect you and keep this body unharmed and well loved.”
She folded his fingers, lifted his knuckles to her lips, and kissed them. “I can be well loved perfectly by my five men together.”
She locked gazes with his smoldering blue ones as her lips touched his knuckles.
Mercury’s expression firmed. “When you walked from the bed so slowly, I thought you were trying to be quiet, but then I heard the bath running, listened at the door as you moaned getting into the tub, and it concerned me.”
She reached up, releasing his hand to cup his cheek as she tilted closer to his lips.
“You’re right, you are five very large men in all aspects. Of course I would be sore or feeling tender in places only you and the guys have gone before, but it’s how I want you, each of you. I want to feel you all around me, inside me, imprinting your souls into mine so we’re one. In your arms is where I’m safest and feel most secure. I know I may still seem emotionally fragile from my past and from Mexico, but you’re all helping me through this. Don’t coddle me, just love me in every way you all can, separately, together, whatever, just know I need you all to stay close.”
He leaned forward and kissed her softly.
“I’ll always do what’s best for you, Shawna, to protect you,” he said firmly, holding her cheeks.
Her heart soared with adoration for this man, he was always on guard, in charge, and ready to take control and prevail. She admired him.
