“Call me when you get the information.” John nodded. “I’ll leave you to thinking and the calls you need to make.”
Dixie exhaled. Her stomach sank as if a lead weight landed in it. They still knew nothing. Why was this person attacking her men?
Chapter Twenty
Finally home. Another day without anything bad happening. Maddox guided Dixie into the house. She snuggled close to him. Her curvy body fit so well against his. Gable followed them.
Maddox stopped two steps into the house. He tightened his arm around her. Fucking hell. The scent of a human overlaid theirs.
“Take Dixie out to the car. I’m calling John and will step in in a little farther to see what’s happened. I don’t want her anywhere near while we do it.” Maddox pushed Dixie into Gable’s arms.
“But you should go out with us.” Dixie grabbed his arm.
“I don’t know if someone’s just come into our house or if they put something here. I don’t smell anything other than human scent.” Maddox patted her hand before he lifted it away. “Take her out. I’ll be out in a moment. I’m not staying inside.”
Gable tugged Dixie out of the house. Maddox advanced slowly. He poked his head into the living room. His computer lay on the floor, open, but with a black screen. He had a passcode, so they probably couldn’t access any information. Papers littered the floor. A tablet rested in the seat of a chair. It hadn’t been there earlier.
Someone had gone through the house, and they hadn’t taken any of the electronics. He walked out. If they’d wanted money or something to sell, a thief could have walked out with plenty of electronics.
He dialed the number and reported the break-in. What had they wanted? Although there were still many rooms to go through, it didn’t seem as if anything was missing.
He walked back out and got into the car with Gable and Dixie. Dixie reached over and grasped his hand. Her fear scented the air. He squeezed gently. The last thing he’d wanted to do was scare her.
“Sorry, Dixie.” He pressed a kiss to her lips.
“Let’s drive around the block until the police get here. It feels too open to simply sit and wait.” Gable reached up and touched Maddox’s shoulder.
“Buckle up. You’re right. Someone was in our home. They could be lurking in the area. I don’t want to be an easy target.” Maddox nodded. Best to at least get where they weren’t so trapped.
He settled beside her and buckled into his seat belt. Dixie clicked hers into place. Maddox backed out of the driveway and pulled onto the street. They drove around and returned to the house when they saw John’s police SUV parked in front of the house.
“There you are.” John strode over and stopped beside the car. “I wondered what happened. I was ready to call.”
“We got a little spooked sitting here and decided to drive around until someone else arrived.” Gable stepped out of the car.
Very true. Maddox eased out and rounded the car to stand beside Dixie. “We wondered if someone was watching and perhaps planned to do something worse.”
“I understand your caution.” John nodded. “I’m going inside with my officers. Did any of you see what was done?”
“I saw some papers tossed on the floor. There was a computer there, as well. I think it was mine.” Maddox curled an arm around her.
“We’ll check the whole house. So the portable electronics weren’t taken?” John turned and walked away.
Maddox and Gable stood with Dixie. When had the break-in occurred? Had the men left just before they came home? They could have walked in on that.
He tightened his grip on Dixie. Fuck, what if whoever did it had a weapon? He leaned down and pressed a kiss to her head.
John came back out of the house. He strolled over to them. “There’s a lot of paper all over your house. It looks like someone was looking for something. Do you store cash in your house? Or is there a document they could be looking for?”
“We don’t keep a lot of cash in the house, and I can’t think of any document anyone would be looking for. I’m not working on any cases at the moment, and the last ones I did work on weren’t criminal prosecution type cases. I checked records on those two for any sign of fraud. There wasn’t fraud, a couple of instances of bad accounting practices, but nothing criminal, just stupidity.” Gable shook his head.
“Any loss of jobs there?” John pulled out his tablet and made some notes.
“I don’t know. I made some recommendations to the owners, but I don’t know if they followed through with them.” Gable waved his hand. “That’s the way it is in most of the cases I work.”
“All right, we’ll be busy for a while. I have the crime scene techs coming to process this scene. Is there any way you could go to a hotel or another location for the night?” John tilted his head.
“Yes, we can get a hotel room for the night. We’ll call Micah and tell him not to come here.” Maddox nodded. If staying away from the house would help them catch the bastard coming after them, they’d stay away gladly. Hell, a night at a hotel might be good for them. Nothing to worry about, but what to eat and if they wanted to even step out of the room.
“All right, I’ll have someone watch your house, and we’ll make sure it’s locked up before we leave.” John nodded. “Before you come back, I’ll come here, and we’ll go through the house together. You can see if there’s anything missing.”
“All right, we’ll be here in the morning. Now, we have a little shopping to do, and then we’ll find a hotel room.” Maddox looked over at Dixie. She had to be comfortable even though they would be away from home only for one night.
“Be careful and make sure you pick a good hotel with security.” John narrowed his eyes.
“As if we’d take Dixie to a cut-rate hotel. We’re going to a hotel where anyone coming after us will be caught on a lot of security footage if he wants to get to us.” Maddox rolled his eyes.
“All right, honeybear, let’s get in the car. We have some essentials to pick up, and then we have to find a hotel. When we do, we’ll call Micah.” Gable urged her into the car. He slipped into the back seat with her.
Maddox frowned. Well, couldn’t blame him. Gable probably needed to hold her as much as he did.
“I’ll call Micah and probably leave a message. If he’s with a patient, he won’t answer.” Gable pulled out his phone.
He dialed and was silent for a while. He sighed and left a quick message explaining and assuring Micah that Dixie was fine. He then said he’d call when they checked into the hotel with more information.
They went to the store. As they walked through the store, they gathered clothes for everyone as well as toiletries, toothbrushes, and toothpaste. He tightened his arm around her. The son of a bitch had come into their home. His heart beat against his chest as a fiery anger built within him.
They went to a hotel downtown and checked into one of the suites for whyr.
“Has Micah responded yet?” Dixie asked.
“No, but he will.” Gable shook his head. “Now, let’s go to our room. I need some alone time with my woman.”
Maddox took a deep breath. That went double for him. Her bare skin, the warmth of her body, the glide of her skin against his. He craved it all. It might be primitive, but he had to take her. He wouldn’t feel secure until he had her in her arms. Those bastards could try lying in wait next time. What if they hurt her next time?
Chapter Twenty-One
He locked the door behind him and drew off his shirt. “Get undressed, Dixie. I need to have you in my arms.”
“About as much as I need to feel both of you. Do you think you can share today?” She glanced from him to Gable. She pulled off her shirt and pushed down the purple scrub pants she wore.
“Well, I can share. I don’t know about Maddox. He saw everything, and he might feel a little more keyed up.” Gable eased up behind her and ran his hands over her arms.
“I can share.” Maddox flicked open the front catch on her bra. �
�I love it when you wear these things. Easy to take off.”
“I definitely like this one, but sometimes they’re hard to find. It’s also hard to get one that will support properly.” She shrugged her shoulder, allowing the straps to slide down her arms.
Maddox hummed. A buzz of arousal slid through him. “And it covers such delectable breasts.”
“If you think they’re so delectable, why don’t you spend some time nibbling and licking at them? Maybe you can get your fill if you savor every delicious curve.” She cupped her hands under them.
“Honeybear, I promise that I will never get my fill of your breasts. Each taste makes me want more and more.” Gable slipped his hand around her and cupped the mound. “And I’m always going to come back for more.”
“But that’s a great suggestion. I say we take her up on the offer and taste.” Maddox licked his lips. Such a delicious proposition. His lips tingled. Feasting on her would be a delicious start for the night.
“Definitely.” Gable, pulled her tight against him, his fingers tightening on her breast. “Go on over to that big bed, honeybear. We’ll join you there.”
“It is a big bed.” She nodded and crawled into the middle of it. Her ass wiggled as she made her way up the mattress.
“One of the good things about living in a whyr town. The facilities are suitable for those in ménage marriages. Don’t bait the bears, Dixie, because we will go after you.” Maddox put a hand on his hip.
“And what if that’s exactly what I want? My two big bears coming for me. I mean, it would be better if all three of you were here. After the break-in, I need to know that you’re safe, probably as much as you do me. Micah will be lucky if I don’t jump him when he comes in.” She turned onto her back and bent her legs. “Now, don’t make me start without you two. I would, and just to torture you, I might finish without you, too.”
“Honeybear, you won’t finish without us. We’ll certainly help you finish, and then we’ll take you up again. After that, we’ll fuck you. One of the things we made sure to grab at the store was some lubricant.” Gable held up a bottle, tossing it to the bed before he took off his clothing.
She’d definitely find her pleasure, but it would be at their hands and then on their cocks. Maddox nodded. She’d go wild at their hands.
“Now, that sounds like a plan. Do you think you can make me scream?” She drew her fingers over her thigh.
“Oh, I know we can, again and again, if we could stand it. Not going to happen this round. We’ll make you scream once, and then we’ll take you together.” Gable crawled onto the bed at her side.
He leaned down and swept his tongue over her nipple. She shivered. Maddox smiled. Very nice, but not enough yet.
“First, sweet honeybear, I’ll lap at your honey. I’ll lick it all up until you’re screaming and whimpering.” Maddox eased up on the bed between her legs. He trailed his fingers over her inner thighs. So soft and perfectly designed for them.
“You’ll have me there with just your words if you don’t watch out.” She licked her lips.
“Honeybear, I’m good with words, but I’m not that damn good.” He laughed.
“You say that, but if you’ll slip your fingers between my thighs, you might find out something a little different.” She reached for his hand.
Gable grabbed it and drew it up above her head. “Now, no interference, sweet Dixie, or I might have to find something to secure your arms above your head.”
“You expect to make me so wild I’ll scream, and I don’t get to touch you?” She tugged at Gable’s hair. “That’s kind of mean.”
“You aren’t driving me out of my mind and pushing me to rush this. I want to savor sliding into you and feeling your muscles clench around me. You’ll feel stretched because Maddox will be filling your other hole.” Gable cupped her breast, plumping it in his hand, before lowering his mouth once again to the reddened peak.
“So you plan to make me so insane that I’ll attack you.” She bared her teeth at him.
“I wouldn’t mind that, but the key is to take you almost to that point and then fuck you. We’ll both slide deep into our mate.” Maddox nipped her thigh. Her honey flavor burst through his mouth. He leaned in and lapped, drawing his tongue over her skin to savor the delicious sweet-and-salty essence.
She tilted her leg outward, as if inviting him to ease closer. Maddox smoothed his hands up her thighs. Definitely something he could give her.
He ran his tongue up the pink slit. Delicious sweetness filled him. Her breath caught. Whether it was from what he did or from what Gable was doing to her, he couldn’t tell. He didn’t look up. The sweet flavor was too good to turn away from.
He lapped at her clit. A soft moan rolled from her. Good, but she had to be hotter. She had to come and scream before he lifted away from her. Her hips bucked against him.
“Oh, God, the teeth. Gable, it’s too much.” Dixie wriggled. Her voice was breathy and almost too light to hear.
He lifted his head. What was Gable doing to her? Gable’s head hovered over her breast, and he closed his teeth over a nipple, pulling at the peak before releasing it and lapping at the peak. He lowered his mouth and sucked it deep. Maddox groaned. So damn exciting.
She stiffened. A low moan rolled from her. She definitely loved that. His cock hardened. He’d add to that wildness. Dixie would scream for them. He scraped his teeth over her clit. She bucked up against him.
He drew his fingers down to her entrance. Heated juices coated his fingers. He dipped them in just a little. Her sheath clenched. Oh, yes, she definitely wanted some fullness.
She gasped. “Give me more.”
He hooked his arms under her legs, holding her open for him. She writhed. Such an eager woman. He lapped at the hard little bud. Her hips punched upward, and soft moans ripped from her. He stroked his fingers over her thigh. She brushed her fingers over his head, before they lifted away. He glanced up, but pushed his thick digits into her.
Gable grasped her wrists in one hand, holding them over her head. “I told you to keep them there.”
“And I told you I wouldn’t last.” She wriggled in his hold. “He’s teasing me with his fingers, and all you’re doing is nibbling and a little sucking. Nothing to send me over.”
“Because we like watching and hearing the sound of your pleas and sighs.” Maddox’s mouth hovered her clit.
She shuddered. Her inner walls rippled around his fingers. Oh, yeah, she was close to the edge.
“And we love the way you smell as your body readies for us,” Gable said.
Definitely. There was nothing better than the way she smelled as hunger took her. He licked at the nub. She writhed. Her hips twisted and pressed upward. He slid two fingers into her working them deep. Her slick tissues tightened.
He scraped at the tender flesh with his teeth before drawing it into his mouth. Her hips jerked up. Just a little more. He sucked. Small cries rolled through the room. He thrust his fingers into her. Her pussy quivered. She was close. He flicked his tongue over the bundle.
“Maddox!”
The breathy cry tore through him. A fierce desire spiked, and an ache pulsed with every beat of his heart. Damn, he had to hear that again as he drove deep into her. But not yet. She would come first.
“Fuck, Gable!” She wrenched in his hold.
“That’s right, honeybear. I’m here, too.” Gable chuckled.
Maddox licked her clit. He had to send her over soon, or he wouldn’t make it until he was inside of her. His fingers slid deep. She trembled and strained upward, coming. Her inner muscles clenched, as if trying to hold on to his fingers.
He lifted his head. A lovely pink tinted her skin. “Now, that’s beautiful.”
“I want you in me.” She braced her foot on the bed.
“Not yet, honeybear. You’re not ready.” Gable smoothed his hand over her belly.
“I am.” She shook her head.
Maddox laughed. “No, you’re not. You need
some attention before you’re ready for that. On top of that, we’ll have to give you some attention during.”
Maddox lowered his head and lapped at the sensitive nub. She wriggled. He pushed two fingers into her and swirled his tongue around the nerve-filled bundle. Soft gasps and moans rose. More slick juices coated his fingers.
She lifted against him. He drew at that little bud. She trembled. He pulled his hand back. Couldn’t take her too far. If she went over, they’d have to start over. He’d never make it through that.
“All right, sweet honeybear. Gable’s going to lie on his back. I want you to crawl over and take him into you.” Maddox ran his hand over her thigh, before slowly pulling back.
She pulled in a heaving breath. A shudder shook her body. She blinked, but slowly pushed to her hands and knees. So delicious. It would be great to make love to her just like that, but another time.
She crawled over to Gable. Maddox drew in a breath. Her sweet ass wiggled. He clenched his hands. Damn, that was sexy. He grabbed the bottle of lube and popped the cap. He slicked some on his cock, but dropped some onto his fingers. She had to be ready.
She swung her leg over Gable’s hips. Gable clasped her waist, and he guided her down. She rocked her hips against him. Maddox groaned. Soon, he’d feel her moving like that against him.
“Oh, yes, honeybear, but get ready. Maddox is moving in behind you. He’ll prepare you and then ease into you.” Gable stroked her back.
And it would feel so good. Maddox clenched his teeth. Fuck, he couldn’t think about that, or he’d lose it before he even slid into her.
She glanced over her shoulder. “I think you better hurry, or I’ll go over without you.”
“Not a chance, Dixie. Gable won’t let that happen, and this isn’t something we’d ever rush with you.” Maddox shook his head. “Now, relax against Gable. Do you feel his hand sliding between you?”
“Yes.” Dixie eased down onto Gable and gripped his arms.
“He’ll stroke your little clit to keep you interested while I ease my fingers into this tight pucker. When I’m sure I won’t hurt you, I’ll slide into you.” Maddox glided his hand over her thigh. In the meantime, he’d go out of his mind.
