“Alright then,” I grinned, saluting dutifully. “About time.”
The Rear Admiral motioned to the pilot, who immediately nosed forward and pinned the throttle. That part made me laugh. Going fast was fantastic, but if we were headed where Ithoughtwe were, we had a hell of a long ride and quite a few stops ahead of us anyway. A ride with plenty of time to talk and plan and get briefed on the mission.
For now though at least, I could lay my head back and get some much-needed sleep.
Forty-Five
JULIANA
The trip was lonely as always, but this time it had an edge of excitement to it. I’d jumped a flight spur-of-the-moment. I’d left New York without telling anyone, even Aric, who I could always call in the morning.
And that’s because I wanted toreallysurprise them.
The past few weeks had been like riding a freight train with no brakes. I’d been working nonstop. Taking meetings at all hours of the day or night, from one end of the City to the other. I’d been doing so much that Aric actually held a one-man intervention, locking me in my office and forcing me to sit on the couch and do nothing for a straight hour. It was the longest hour of my life. Like being held in solitary confinement, but with glass walls so I could watch everyone else do all the things I couldn’t.
Aric had taken to coming with me to the obstetrician too, and he wouldn’t take no for an answer. It was the sweetest thing, watching his eyes go wide at the sound of the fetal heartbeat. Observing his childlike awe as the baby moved and kicked, stretching its tiny arms and legs before us. After ten straight minutes of begging I even let the sonogram technician tell him the baby’s sex, as long as he promised to keep it from me. It brought a tear to my eye, just seeing how moved he was by the whole thing. And it was in that moment I realized what a great father he’d someday make.
One day soon I’d have to tell my family I was pregnant, and the barrage of questions would begin. I’d have to explain the donor process, especially to my parents. I’d have to make up more than a few other things as well.
At least for now. At least until I knew for sure in which direction I was going.
I thought talking to the guys on only a semi-regular basis would allow me the clarity to possibly let go. Instead, it did just the opposite. Not hearing their voices made me miss them more than ever, and trying not to think about them only filled my head with even more conflicting thoughts.
And not having them in my bed…
God, I missed themdesperately!Mentally, emotionally, but of course physically too. I missed the feel of their warm naked skin, sliding against mine. The delicious sinfulness of being spread open and filled by each of them, engorged and enormous and toe-curlingly magnificent.
My belly kept swelling, and so did my now unstoppable libido. In their quest to pleasure my body (and theirs), the boys had spoiled me, sexually. As a side effect of being hopelessly pregnant, I woke up more and more horny each day.
But my attachment to them went well beyond that, which was the reason I was actually here. I needed their strong arms, their firm lips, but I also needed the company. I needed the laughter and warmth and camaraderie. The three of them shared an indescribable bond that made being around them naturally fun and relaxed. And of course, I loved them. And they loved me.
Damn right you do.
The realization was more of an epiphany this time around, and less of a surrender. There was no reason to hold back. No reason to put up walls, when what I truly wanted was to tear down the ones I’d kept up all these years.
And so I flew to Phoenix, without saying a word. The people behind the rental car’s counter were getting to know me on a first name basis, and within minutes I was driving through the desert, speeding in the direction I knew would provide warmth, happiness, and comfort.
If these men wanted to share me, I was willing to try. I’d already given myself over to each of them, mind, body and soul, and they’d done nothing but take the utmost care of me.
Now it was time to give them my heart as well.
The sun had set hours ago by the time I pulled through the open gates, and the house looked less warm and alive than usual. There were still lights on inside, but not many. It was almost like my sexy, personal SEAL team had gone to bed.
All the easier to surprise them.
I parked away from the windows, being careful to close the car door as silently as possible. Then I padded up the walkway and stood before the giant teak doors. There would be no knocking this time. The last time I was here, after talking about the place being my oasis in the desert, the guys had presented me with a large brass key.
Telling me I was welcome ‘home’ any time I wanted seemed like nothing more than a sweet gesture. But now, after careful thought…
My heart raced even faster as I inserted the key into the big iron lock. It turned with a click and I pushed inside, stepping into the shadows of the foyer. The house was quiet, the interior lit mostly by ambient lighting. There was a light on in the kitchen though. But there was always a light on in the kitchen.
They’re asleep.
I smiled, thinking about what a surprise it would be for me to just climb the stairs, strip naked, and slide into bed with one of them.
Which one though?
I decided I’d pick the first door, which would be Devyn’s. That way I couldn’t be accused of favoritism. Besides, this whole thing started with Devyn. It seemed only fitting.
