Raising a Cowgirl (11 page)

“Oh my God, you two need to take a chill,” Jolie said with a horrified expression
on her face.

“Hey, we are not taking any chances. We are doing this right,” David said and they
leaned over, kissed Sammi’s cheek, and left the room after winking at Jolie.

“They are too much.” Jolie moaned and covered her face.

“Yeah, well I can help you out with that,” Sable said smugly and Desire walked in
and asked.

“What are we talking about?” She brought a huge breakfast tray in and set it on the
table in front of her.

“Dumb and dumber,” Sable said.

“Ahh, the wet wipe thing?” Desire laughed.

“Partly, but if I read the situation right when I walked in, David and Gage declared
their intentions for our new friend,” Sable said and sat down.

Desire clapped her hands and bounced. “Yay, another sinner! Oh now we can tell you
what the real story is about managing two men. Piece of cake!”

Jolie smiled weakly and looked at the two women who began chattering while they got
breakfast set out.

Damn it, why did they have to talk about sex. She felt her need increase as she drifted
off into a nap later that day. All morning the girls had talked to her about being
in a ménage, so much so it was almost impossible for her not to put David, Gage, and
herself in the situations that were explained. It was frustrating to say the least.

Now that she had time to herself she could analyze it, but she was so tired, how on
earth was she going to stay awake and think about this. Finally succumbing to her
heavy eyes, Jolie fell into a deep and very satisfying sleep.

Her dream started out in the room she was in right now, it seemed right that they
would consummate a relationship here, together. The men started their evening by
drawing a bath filled with rose petals, she soaked until her skin was smooth and fragrant
and then they helped her out of the large tub that was in her bathroom after washing
her thoroughly. They dried her off together, making sure they rubbed and caressed
her body until she was begging for their touch. Then they helped her get dressed
in a sexy gown they had already laid out for her. They had dinner waiting, and she
refused to eat hot stuff naked, even if this was a dream, she had to be realistic.

Jolie sighed as she pictured herself in the middle of the bed, lying sexily against
the pillows, wearing a midnight blue lacy gown with her hands propped up on the pillows
pushing her taunt nipples forward in an invitation. David and Gage were dressed in
matching midnight blue silk bottoms, Jolie frowned in her sleep, why when you dreamed
did you always put yourself in something you would never actually wear or look that
good in. It was disturbing, although she was certainly going to ask Calli if she
could make the men’s pants. They looked hot in them.

They fed her dinner together while she fed them in return. She could feel the sexual
tension building even as she dreamed. They were whispering softly to her words of
seduction intended to drive her slowly out of her mind, and they were doing a good
job of it.

Strawberries, whipped cream, and champagne were dessert. Jolie smiled and ran her
hand over their chests showing her appreciation for their romantic gesture. They
laid on the bed with her in the middle, each feeding her and whispering sentiments
like how beautiful she was, and she would reply in kind. The words made them all
needy for each other’s touch.

David picked up a glass filled with champagne and tilted her back farther, and pulled
on the neckline of the gown she wore. He grinned, then poured a small trickle of
the liquid on her nipple, leaned over, and cleaned it up. She arched into his mouth
loving the feel of his tongue lapping at her sensitive tips while Gage fed her strawberries
and whipped cream.

Gage ran them along her lips to make sure they were covered with sweet cream. Then
he put one end of the strawberry in his mouth, leaned forward, and let her bite one-half
while he took the other. Then he lapped the cream from her lips and kissed her deeply,
sharing the sweet nectar from the fruit.

Then David became inpatient wanting to taste her more, he pulled off her gown with
one stroke, leaving her naked and needy under both men. He then poured more of the
champagne down her body until it pooled in her belly button and dripped lower to her
sweet mound. He followed the trail of liquid with his tongue, making sure he cleaned
every drop from her body. Sucking and licking each area he touched.

When David reached her mound, he pulled a pillow from the side of the bed and positioned
it under her hips. With her raised lower half, he poured more of the champagne on
her pussy until it was mixed with her own sweet cream.

Not to be out shown, Gage took a strawberry and bit it in half so the juices were
flowing from it, then he dipped it into the whipped cream and spread the fruit juices
and cream over her nipples. Teasing and taunting them with the soft touch before
leaning over and cleaning her off. Her nipples strained to him, begging him to pay
attention to them.

David spread the cream around her pussy lips with his finger, then asked Gage for
a large plump strawberry. He grinned at the look of passion on her face, anticipating
his next move, Gage nodded and handed him the largest one he could find. Of course,
David made sure she would be prepared for what was to come so he had a tube of lube
sitting off to the side. While he pressed the plump strawberry into her pussy gently,
so not to go too far, he popped the tube of lube and coated his fingers to stretch
out her little asshole they planned on fucking.

Jolie was writhing in pleasure underneath them, not knowing who she wanted to touch
her more. Gage, who was teasing her breasts, or David who was slowly teasing her
pussy with the strawberry. When she thought she could not take any more, David leaned
over and began licking the champagne and cream from her weeping pussy. One long pass
with his tongue had her bucking a little.

Gage leaned over her so she couldn’t move around, sucking and nipping at her breasts,
up to her neck, and then to her lips. On and on they teased her going slowly and
making her feel loved and cherished.

David slipped first one finger in her back hole and then sucked her clit into his
mouth so she would concentrate on that. Flicking it with his tongue, he built her
passion until she was almost ready to come, then backed off and allow her to catch
her breath. Then he started over again, each time adding another finger into her
ass so she would be ready for them.

Gage could almost hear her cries and moans as they pleasured her. She became impatient,
grabbed his hair, and put his face where she wanted him. Of course, he teased her
and circled the area of her nipple not giving her the release she craved.

When David was sure she was ready, he signaled Gage. They had already decided that
because David was a little larger in width while Gage was longer, Gage would take
her ass for the first time. David settled on the bed. He laid on his back and pulled
her over him until she was straddling him. They kissed and explored each other while
Gage got into place.

Gage grabbed her hips and settled her over David’s straining cock. He reached in
between her legs and ran a finger through her slit, gathering her juices and then
gasping, David grasped his cock in his hand firmly and spread her over him. Pumping
once, and then twice, making sure that they were all ready.

David lifted Jolie a little and then as he held her, Gage used his hand to help her
lower onto his friend. Slowly, so he would make sure she would feel every touch and
ripple. Moving his hand, he trailed his finger to her back hole. He pushed her forward
so her ass was in the air and David was fully seated in her pussy.

Slowly he pushed into her ass with his cock. Making sure, they were all feeling the
joining. He was able to feel David through the small membrane separating them. Jolie
would cry out in pleasure from the feeling of taking her men at the same time for
the first time.

She arched her back, pushing her breast into David’s lips until Gage was fully seated
in her ass. They set a pace that would drive her crazy. David pulled out while he
pushed in, the friction bringing her to the brink of orgasm, and then they stopped
and started again. Finally, when David told him that he was close, they pumped in
and out of her faster and faster until they were all crying out in pleasure.

Gage reached around and pinched her clit when he knew he was going to come in her
ass. Her rippling orgasm would push them over, filling her with their seed. David
sat up and gathered her close while Gage pressed in from the back and they would each
kiss her on one side of her neck at the same time, prompting her into another orgasm,
this time she would scream her love for them as she came.

Shit,
she thought and struggled to sit up. She heard the pounding of footsteps on the
stairs as Gage and David flew through the door, guns drawn, looking for the source
of her fear. When they saw no one, they looked at Jolie who had her head buried in
the pillows, hiding her face from them.

“Sweetheart, what is it?” David said.

“Nothing, bad dream,” she muttered and peeked out of the corner of her eye, watching
them both. The men looked confused and then it dawned on them. She cringed in embarrassment
and pulled the covers over her head. “Get out!”

The men laughed and pulled the blankets together, leaned in, and kissed her cheek.
“Next time call us. We would be more than willing to help you, sweetheart,” Gage
said and stood.

“Just go away,” she moaned.

“Until tonight, sweetheart,” David said and tugged on Gage’s sleeve until he followed.

Jolie avoided the guys until the next morning, claiming she wanted Sable and Lou to
help her bathe since she intended to get out of this room in the morning. She couldn’t
stand being there another second as she thought about her dream and everything it
meant.

The guys hadn’t let her run away completely, checking on her several times, teasing
her, and kissing her softly. She was going to go fucking mad soon if she was trapped
within these four walls much longer. The infection had really done a number on her
though, but she was feeling a little stronger.

Today was the day she was going to get to see what was really happening with regards
to her friend’s death. They were not going to keep it from her anymore. Sable and
Desire tried to explain the big board they had going on, but there were so many names
and arrows going everywhere, they weren’t sure who they were looking at.

She was dressed, even though it took her an hour by herself, and ready to go when
there was a soft knock on her door. Last night the guys had respected her need to
be alone, other than to come in and make sure she took her meds, they had left her
alone. However, every time they did come into her room it was together, and they
both kissed her softly. They were double-teaming her, just like Desire and Sable
said they would, but they also said when that happened she could handle it easily.

Jolie was waiting for the right time to do it though, the girls told her she couldn’t
use it too much or they would get suspicious. Since it seemed to be two against one,
she was going to listen to them. Being at a disadvantage all the time with the men
was not something she was prepared to do.

“Hey, sweetheart, are you ready to venture out of the room?” David smiled at her
when she opened the door. Jolie shyly smiled and nodded, hoping she was being compliant
enough like they told her. It was not really in her nature to be compliant since
she generally was in charge of everything in her life. It was the way she dealt with
having to work with PTSD, it could make a person feel out of control when you dealt
with so many symptoms and problems every day.

“Absolutely,” Jolie said and stepped out of her room.

“Hungry?” Gage asked, taking one side of her while David took the other side.
Stuck in the middle
she thought and grinned,
right where she wanted to be anyway, so really it didn’t matter.

Jolie nodded and allowed them to help her down the huge staircase, as they pointed
out the different rooms she hadn’t seen when she was brought in from being shot.

“Living room, formal dining room, which we didn’t start using until recently when
the number of people eating here began to rise. Then there is the library, Alex’s
office, and there is also a study-type of a room, which we have converted into more
of a game room than anything,” Gage said as he pointed out the rooms they walked by.

She was enchanted, the place was amazing, she had not been in a place like this before
and truthfully, she was going to need a few days to explore. But the décor was amazing,
it had a southern country feel to it, warm and inviting. As they drew close to the
kitchen she could hear the people in there talking. But just before they reached
it, Gage stopped and looked at her.

“Hang on, I want to show you Sammi’s playroom. Well right now we have a lot of stuff
in it, because it will be the kids’ playroom. However, it has Sammi’s stuff in it
until we can move things upstairs, we didn’t want your room to get too cluttered with
all of this when you were recouping,” Gage explained and opened the door to a bright
cheery room to the side. Inside it was white with pale green curtains and pretty,
yellow walls.

Jolie could still smell the fresh paint and knew they had set this up just for Sammi.
She saw a crib and changing table in the corner. A rocking chair and a small table
in the opposite corner. In the middle of the room a cheery multicolored rug sat with
all of her favorite stuffed animals, they must have brought them from San Diego, but
what made her eyes tear up was the picture on the small table. It held Marie and
Ted on their wedding day, grinning into the camera with a look of sheer joy on their
faces. It almost broke her heart until she realized the men were trying to make sure
Sammi had reminders all around her of home, and her mother and father.

“It is beautiful,” she whispered and the men’s face cleared. They had apparently
been worried about what she would think because when she declared it amazing, they
rocked back on their feet and grinned.

“Okay, let’s get this show on the road. I actually have to go back to work today
for a few hours. The town folk have been gracious enough to allow me to have the
phones transferred to here so I can work; however, I still have things to do, like
making sure old man Jones is not still drunk on the side of the bar like he is most
Thursday through Sunday nights.” David grinned.

She looked at his attire and wanted to laugh aloud, he wore his standard jeans and
long sleeve shirt, but on the pocket was his badge—she hadn’t noticed it earlier.
Jolie knew she had been too excited to get out of the room to pay attention to most
things.

“Don’t forget the vicious jaywalkers you have to deal with daily. Did you know that
in Healing they had a crime spree a few weeks ago? Yeah, David here gave out five
tickets to people for jaywalking. It was an exhausting day,” Gage teased.

Jolie laughed when David glared at Gage and then slapped him on the back of the head,
it reminded her of one of her favorite shows, but she stifled a giggle.

They each took a hand and pulled her back into the hallway, making sure to move slowly
and gently, neither man apparently wanted her to have a reason to go back to her room
now that she was out.

When they entered the kitchen through the old-fashion swinging door, everyone stopped
speaking and looked at them. Jolie felt like a bug under a microscope at that point.
They were all staring at her intently.

“Guys, tone it down a little, I think she is good,” Sable laughed and stood. “Come
over here and sit with me, Jolie. We girls have to stick together.”

Gage chuckled but led her to the chair that Sable indicated. While she was sitting
she introduced the ranch hands, and she nodded to the family members she had already
met, it was overwhelming to see so many handsome men in one place, it oozed testosterone.
She wondered briefly,
would they do a male revue anytime soon, she would certainly pay whatever it took
to see these men undress.

Jolie’s cheeks burned as she realized what she was thinking. She really needed to
relieve herself tonight. Gage and David were excessively potent.

“So are you ready?” Sable asked with concern.

“As I will ever be,” Jolie muttered and then she heard Sammi giggling. When she turned,
the baby was in Gage’s arms and she was laughing and smiling at the faces he was making
at her. David stood next to her, touching one of her feet and wiggling it. It was
a cute sight, and one that tugged at her heartstrings as she watched.

“Let’s go and see, Jolie, shall we?” Gage said softly and nuzzled the baby, then looked
up and smiled at her. “Do you feel well enough?”

“Of course, I always feel well enough for her,” Jolie said softly and let Gage place
her in her lap, not using her sore arm. Although it felt better, lifting the little
one would have put a strain on it.

Sammi squealed and patted her cheeks as she greeted her. Jolie couldn’t help but
feel the tears in her eyes as she looked on the small child’s face. She was so trusting
and full of love.

“Hey, baby girl,” Jolie whispered and kissed her chubby cheek.

Sammi laughed and snuggled into her neck, where she stayed while Lou and Sable put
food on the table. The men began to leave, but as they left all of them touched Sammi’s
head in a caress. She knew the child had worked her magic on them as well.

In the end only David, Gage, Alex, Slone, the dads, and brothers were left in the
room. Lou and Timothy excused themselves, too. They knew they were going to start
talking business.

Jolie ate her breakfast with one hand as she held the small child with the other,
kissing the top of her head or cheek often. She was finally feeling like they were
back to normal, well whatever normal was at this point. She saw Noah, one of Alex’s
fathers, stand and leave the room. A few moments after he left, he reappeared with
a large rolling board that he set in the corner.

Alex stood and kissed Sable before filling his coffee and then looking at Jolie.
“Ready?”

Jolie took a breath and nodded. “Let me take Sammi to Lou for a little while,” David
said and kissed her cheek and took the baby. It was for the best, she didn’t want
to project her feelings on the baby, nor did she want her to hear anything they talked
about. It didn’t matter if she understood or not, it didn’t seem right.

Alex waited for a second and then flipped the board when Sammi was safely out of the
room. Jolie stared and frowned at it. No wonder Sable and Desire had no idea what
it said, she couldn’t make heads nor tails of the things written.

“So we have a list of the missions that we were all involved. This has to have something
to do with all of us, it doesn’t make sense with the rest of the info we have found
out. Which I will explain in a minute,” Alex said and Gage stood and walked to the
board.

“These are missions where we captured someone, these are missions where someone was
hurt, and these are missions where we took down an organization,” Gage said as he
pointed, they were all color-coded with separate colors and the arrows that were connecting
some of them were either both colors, one color, or a different color.

Jolie nodded and then pointed to one in the corner. “What is that one?”

Gage closed his eyes. “The bomb,” he said quietly and she focused on the names under
it. It listed everyone they lost on that mission and Jolie felt her heartstrings
tug as she thought about what this was doing to the men. They were out trying to
start a new phase in their life, and because of some asshole, they are brought right
back into it.

“Now, we have a list of people, which is unfortunately very long that we could have
pissed off. Some of them could have the resources to find us while others don’t,
but if they are crazy enough, money won't stop them. Since it has been more than
half a year since we came back, I have to assume that whoever this is, they are patient.
Finding us is next to impossible unless you have a mole. I can guarantee if there
is a mole in the SEALs they will be found,” Gage continued, she felt the shiver of
fear for whoever crossed these men. But given the opportunity, she was pretty sure
she would kick their ass as well for helping this bastard.

“Marie was contacted through a series of text messages and emails. It took us a while
to find them. She erased the messages and computers with a military program. However,
we managed to recreate most of them. We have people working on the others. The first
message was fairly harmless, asking if Ted was her late husband and offering support
through a bogus agency,” Gage said and pointed.

David spoke as he walked into the room so Jolie turned away from the board and focused
on him. “The Agency was titled ‘Support for Spouse's and Families of Fallen Soldiers.'
From what I have been able to dig up, the agency itself is a shell company, designed
to find Team TENs friends, family, or anyone with information about them. It popped
up about nine months ago just before the bombing. We can’t find the people who are
in charge, although I have had a phone conference call with someone who used to work
there.”

Jolie looked stunned. “Someone is using the fact that a military member has died—to
find and torture family members—in order to find and kill you? That is seriously
fucked up.”

The men nodded in agreement. “We don’t know who they have contacted yet. When Jessie
and Drake arrive today, they will fill us in with what they have found out. They
have been searching the whole way back and making phone calls. A lot of us don’t
have families per se. It is hard to figure out exactly who they have contacted without
a court order. So far, we have been staying under the radar. The Commander is helping
us since what is happening to us could put the others in danger,” Alex continued,
which made her swivel back around and look at the board again.

“So many people,” she whispered.

“So many bad people,” Dallas muttered.

“How is it we have our heads in the sand, thinking that no one can touch us until
something terrible happens,” Sable whispered and grabbed her friend’s hand.

“We think Marie was their first target because she was listed in the newspaper as
a survivor,” Alex said uncomfortably and shifted from one foot to the other. “Uh,
and now you by default. They found out you have Sammi, and they want her to use as
an advantage we think. You can’t go back to San Diego.”

Jolie’s eyes shot up in surprise. “Ever?”

“Until this is all over with, and then we would try to discourage you. We can’t protect
you if we don’t know where you are,” David said quietly.

“Are you kidding me? What about my job, my family. I mean there is only my mom but
still, what about her!” Jolie protested.
