“Charlotte and all the women are together,” Hawk informs them. “They’re waiting anxiously to take care of Ruby. They all want you and Ruby to know whatever you need, we, the team will take care of it.” Tank nods. He isn’t sure how much longer he can keep the tears from falling. He’s tried for so long to keep everyone at a safe distance, but even before Ellie cracked the hard shell around his heart and Ruby blew it to smithereens, he cared for his team and the women they’ve come to love. Ruby is battered and bruised. Her cuts will heal, and with his love and the support of their team family around them, the rest of her emotional injuries will heal, too.

Ruby knewall along Tucker would come for her. She’s just thankful she’s managed to stay alive until he’d arrived. She relaxes into his embrace. She can feel hands on her applying dressings and checking her over. A sharp sting in her left arm draws her attention. Straw is at her side, placing an IV into her arm.
“Hey Ruby,” Straw says when he sees her watching him. “Fancy meeting you here.” He winks at here, and Ruby gives him a weak smile. Tank growls, seemingly not seeing the humor in Straw’s attempt to lighten the mood. Wallace hands a syringe to Straw, who looks up at her. “Any drug allergies, Ruby?” She shakes her head. Straw injects the medication into her line. Within seconds, her vision begins to blur. Weakly she grips Tank’s flak vest. She doesn’t want to be knocked out. She’s just gotten back with Tucker. Their eyes meet. As if he can read her fear or maybe he can read her mind. He calms her fears.
“I’ll be right here, beautiful.” Tucker’s deep rumbling voice eases her some of her fear. “I’m not letting you go, so rest. I’ll be here when you wake.” With a smile, her eyes drift close.

TANK
Two weeks later…
Tank wakes with Ruby wrapped around him like a blanket. He smiles and breathes deeply taking in the coconut smell of her hair. Her breath fans over his bare chest. Desire curls in his lower half. His morning wood growing even harder. It doesn’t matter how many times he makes love to her; he wants her again within minutes. Ruby’s stitches came out a few days ago, and she’s healing well. They’ve spent many hours exploring one another’s bodies over the last week. He’s thankful every day destiny blessed him with the woman in his arms.
Ruby stirs. Her eyes flutter open. When their eyes meet, a sleepy, lazy grin spreads over her face. “Good morning,” she murmurs before stretching, arching her breasts into him. Not one to miss an opportunity, he rolls her onto her back, sucking one of her perky nipples into his mouth, flicking it with his tongue until it’s impossibly hard. Ruby moans, running her hands in his hair. “Mmm, so good.” Ruby purrs as he moves to the other side. He kisses the swells of her breast, sucking the flesh, nibbling leaving his mark on her perfect skin.
“You like this, beautiful?” Ruby smiles up at him. Her auburn hair spread out around her head. She’s perfection and all his.
“Yes,” she breaths out. “I like everything you do to me, Tucker.” Oh yeah! He loves hearing her say his name when she’s aroused and needy. He inches his way down her body, leaving a trail of kisses along her torso, until he reaches the mound between her thighs. He looks up to meet her gaze. The love he sees in her eyes takes his breath away. “I love you, Tucker.” His heart swells like it does every time he hears her say those words.
“I love you, beautiful.” Tank kisses her course curls before kissing both thighs, then pushing them farther apart. She’s already made room for him as he moved. He licks up slick folds. She whimpers loudly. He sets to work flicking her clit with his tongue before sucking on it gently. Another moan escapes her. His beautiful Ruby is a siren in bed. So eager for his touch. He reaches up to cup a breast as he continues to attend to her clit, then driving his tongue deep, lapping her juices up. He loves the taste of her, like manna from the gods. Life giving sustenance that feeds his soul. He can tell by her whimpers and the trembling of her thighs she is getting close. He slides a finger in her heat, pumping a few times, before adding a second, readying her for his cock. As her cries grow in pitch, he sucks on her clit with more pressure. Her hips are bucking against his face. Her hands grip the sheets beside her.
“Tucker!” she cries as her release hits her. The lifting of her hips has become wild and erratic. He continues to ride her through her orgasm, lapping up the flood of moisture weeping from her folds. As she slows her motions, he releases her clit and draws his fingers from her depths. Her eyes hit his once more. He sucks his fingers, her eyes flaring with desire. “I need you inside me, Tucker.”
He needs to be in her, too. So damn bad. His cock is throbbing, and precum is dripping onto the sheets. He crawls up her body before notching his cock at her entrance. “You want my cock, beautiful?”
“Yes, Tucker. I want your cock.” Damn he loves it when she talks dirty with him. She still blushes a beautiful shade of red every time.
“I can’t deny you, beautiful,” Tank says as he eases inside. “You know that you own me, right?” She smiles up at him with hooded eyes, lost in her pleasure as he slides in and out of her depths.
“You own me too, Tucker. Body and soul.” Ruby’s voice gets higher and breathy. Her words heightening his desire. He’d intended to take her slow and sweet this morning, but all bets are off now. He picks up the pace, drilling into her, loving the feel of her walls clutching around him, still fluttering from her orgasm just moments ago. She matches him thrust for thrust, lifting and tilting her hips, taking him impossibly deep. Her hands are roaming over his muscled back. Her heels are digging into his ass, urging him on with every thrust. God! He loves this, loves her. He’s so thankful destiny has blessed him with this woman and kept her alive for him to bring home.
Tank feels her walls beginning to grip him and flutter, indicating she’s getting close once more. He powers on enjoying the feel of their bodies connecting in this carnal way. He doesn’t want it to end, not yet. Ruby, however, has other plans. Her hand drifts down his arm and slides between their bodies. She’s soaking wet and sucking noises can be heard with every thrust. Tank looks down between them watching her wet her fingers before beginning to rub her clit. Fucking beautiful watching his woman take what she needs, but he wants to be the one to give it to her. Call him a caveman if you want, but he’s the only one who gets to push her over the edge.
Tank shifts his weight onto his left arm, dropping down onto his forearm. Their bodies touching even more pinning her hand between them. She whimpers, being unable to move her fingers like she wants. Using his right hand, he pulls her hand away.
“My turn, beautiful.” Tank looks deep into her eyes. “Let me get you there.”
“Yes, Tucker, yes!” Ruby’s happy agreement warms his heart. From the first time he had her, it’s been good, but it seems the sex is only getting better and better between them. He wets his thumb in her juices between swirling over her clit. “Mmmm, don’t stop!”
Tank continues to rub her just how he knows she likes it. He can feel his own release pending, building. His balls drawing up, readying to spill into her wet heat. Her cries are getting more frantic. She’s so damn close, which is a very good thing because he’s ready to blow. Pressing down on her clit with his thumb, she denotates.
“Tucker! Oh God! Ohhh,” Ruby’s cries have him driving harder and deeper until, at last, his seed spills from him, filling her depths. He collapses onto her shifting his weight to the left to keep from crushing her. He rests his forehead on hers. Their breaths blend as they’re both breathing hard, trying to recover.
“I swear, beautiful, being inside you, watching you come apart, never gets old.” Tank lifts his head to look into her eyes. He wants her to see his meaning. She’s smiling, looking sated and relaxed. “I want to make love to you until I’m old and gray, but even then, I’ll still want you.” Her smile widens her face lighting up.
“I feel the same way, Tucker.” Ruby lifts her head kissing him sweetly. “You are my everything. I love you, and I love that you refused to let me keep hiding, keep being afraid.”
“I never want you to be afraid,” Tank tells her honestly. “I knew the moment you crashed into me you were it for me. I had to make you mine or die trying. Thank you for trusting me.” He kisses her long and deep until a faint knock comes to their door.
“Uncle Tank! Aunt Ruby!” Ellie calls from the other side of the door. “Get up! Momma has breakfast cooked, and Daddy says sexy time is over.” A pause then, “Whatever that means.”
“We’ll be down in a bit,” Tank calls to her. Ruby giggling under him. They can hear her little footsteps retreating. “I guess we better get out of bed,” Tank tells Ruby reluctantly.
“Yes,” her simple reply. She raises up to kiss him, pressing her breasts against his bare chest. “I’m still recovering so after breakfast, you can tell them I need a nap, you know, to get my strength back?” Tank nods, seeing desire in her eyes. “I’ll ride you before we nap.” She gives him a sultry smile and nip on his jaw before wiggling out from under him and out of bed. Tank flops over on his back. His cock is hard again. He’s going to need a minute or maybe ten to get it calmed back down before he can be in the presence of others without embarrassing himself. Ruby pokes her head out of the bathroom, crooking her finger and motioning for him to join her. “Come on Tucker, let me take care of your problem in the shower.”
