“Good. I will talk to him as well and make sure that he tightens up on her. And you wouldn’t be alone. She knows how far she can push me and won’t push any further; so it’s good that you have given her that same defined line as well. She needs it, trust me she definitely needs it.”
“Can’t imagine why,” he murmured and then grinned at her look. “I think all kids, especially single children without siblings, tend to test the boundaries more. They have the sole attention and therefore figure they can get away with bloody murder.”
“That’s the truth. That’s why I am as strict on her as I am. She has to learn her boundaries now before she can get into trouble because of them, pure and simple truth.” She shrugged and added, “I will talk to her Mikhail. You talk to them too, please?”
“I have, trust me I have, but apparently that kid,” he pointed at Honey, “now outranks me around this place. There is just no love in the brotherhood anymore. It’s all been wiped out by a pair of big grey eyes and a soulful look that sucks all their manhood right out their pores.”
Daisy smirked, “I warned you. That kid does it and knows it. She knows just how to work it. Well, with some people.” A frown crossed Daisy’s face. “There are some that are just plain assholes and will never understand what an amazing child that she is. People who are mean because she has two fathers, not one. I think that’s part of why she is the way that she is, because she’s had to deal with so much bullshit in her short life.”
“She was telling me about it,” Mikhail said softly. Moving a hand to her back he rubbed gently, “She told me about the kids and their parents and a couple of teachers. We had a good discussion about some of that and hopefully she’s better off for it. Sadly she wouldn’t give me names,” he muttered clenching his jaw.
“Yeah, I know their names. Listen in on her dreams. She talks in her sleep and she gives up absolutely everything in her dreams. I had to have her removed from one class because the narcissistic bitch thought that all women should be barefoot and pregnant instead of having real careers in life. Moronic idiot.”
“Mmm, yes. That one was mentioned and I more or less reinforced what you told her about that archaic thought pattern. She seemed happy enough to have my point of view on the subject fall in line with yours ,and we got onto happier topics,” Mik told her honestly.
“Thank you for that. Backing me up without even realizing it. And then we have the man that fathered me.” She sighed and shook her head. “He still spits at us, curses at us, and we have both learned to simply cross to the other side of the street. I don’t care that he hates me, but his hatred for Honey just kills me.”
“He’d better pray he never tries that shit when I’m around or any of the guys are,” Mikhail wrapped his arm around her and pulled her in closer. “I warned them about that in case Honey said anything to them and we’re all on the same fucking page with him.”
“It’s better to just ignore him,” Daisy said sadly. “It’s his loss. She’s such an amazing child and I think that’s part of why she’s so interested in all your men and adopted them all, because she’s starved for male affection; the good kind, not the kind that’s going to get her knocked up. She’s starved for male familial affection.”
“We know that babe, but I will only put up with so much in this life for you and for her. When it comes to you two, if someone is being that disrespectful and just plain rude, they need an adjustment of their views,” he said. “Don’t argue with me, you won’t change my mind on it.”
“Okay.” Daisy relented. “Thank you Mikhail. For all that you do for me, for all that you’ve done for Honey. For, well for being you.” She said softly and leaned into him. “I’m glad you came back into my life.”
“I’m sure you won’t always be saying that,” he commented softly. Resting his cheek to her hair he rubbed his hand up and down her arm. “If you recall, we butted heads more than once that forty-eight hours we were together.”
“Yeah but it was always so much fun the way that you made up to me and I to you. That was truly the stuff for, well it was great.” She didn’t want to say more because Honey was far too close. “Are you going to be okay, while you are gone that is? The mission; it’s nothing too dangerous?”
“No, it’s a bunch of paperwork mainly,” he said before tipping his head. “Come with me a couple more feet away and I’ll explain.” Standing up he moved a little further from the fire and sat down on a log.
Daisy moved with him, settling at his side and then a little closer to gain more of his heat. “All right Mikhail, spill it. What’s really going on? Why do I feel as if I’m really, really not going to like what I hear?”
“You’re probably not,” he muttered keeping his voice low. “Apparently there’s some new threat; not sure of the details exactly so I’m not even going to go there. But the Colonel asked us all to come in and see if we are viable candidates for a new program the military and government are starting up to help counter and hopefully end this threat. We’re going in for testing and more testing. If it’s all viable and we agree to it we will all go into surgery in just over a weeks’ time to have a piece of technology put into our heads down near the spine at the base of the skull. What it does, no clue. It’s part of what we’re going to find out when we get there tomorrow. If we go through with it though D we’ll likely be out of commission and contact for upwards of a month.”
“Oh, wow. A month?” She whispered and then shook her head. “Would you be able to at least call me, or text me and let me know if you were okay? I don’t like to worry and I would. That and Honey would drive me nuts every single day that you guys were gone and there was no contact. Or would you all be in comas or something for that time?” A month? Experimental tech? She so didn’t like that, at all.
“Don’t know D,” he said quietly. “We’ll know more after the meeting and then we’ll do the tests and from there we’ll come home for a time. We’ll have a week after all the testing and such to make the final decision since we’ll have all the facts then. But from the sounds of it we’ll only be out of it, if it’s successful mind you, for about two days. From there it can be arranged for communication via calls or texts.”
“I would like that. I don’t want to lose you again,” Daisy admitted softly. Reaching up she put her hand on his shoulder and then lay her head there and let her arm drape around his back. “I’ve missed you too much to lose you again.”
“We’re not going to make the decision alone D,” he said lifting her up into his lap. Wrapping his arms around her he held her to him, “You’re a part of our lives and will have a say in it too; at least where Gareth and I are concerned. We don’t want to lose you either.”
“I’m glad.” She admitted and moved in a bit closer, “I’m cold. I suggest that you open your jacket for me so that I can wrap my arms around you and warm up that way?” She asked with a grin on her face. “I recall just how warm you were, are, and I would love to share some of that heat if you don’t mind sharing it?”
Leaning back Mik unzipped his jacket and spread it open for her to press in closer to him. Wrapping the jacket around her as much as he could he then wrapped his arms around her. “I never mind sharing my heat,” he said softly pressing a kiss to her hair.
“You are a giving man,” Daisy murmured as she rested there against him. “Do you think that it’s possible for us to start again? Leave the past behind and begin again?” She knew she was being too easy but the truth was that she loved these men, loved this man, and she didn’t want to be without them in her life.
“If you are willing I am,” he said softly. “I’ve missed you Daisy and would do anything, give anything to have you in my life again; even if it is only to harass and pester me to pick up my socks,” Mikhail smiled slightly.
“Do you still have that issue Mik?” She asked with a smile and snuggled in closer, rubbing her cheek to the side of his neck. “I’ve missed this so much. You even still smell the same.” She whispered quie
tly and brushed her lips to his neck.
“Yes, I still have trouble with the socks when I bother to wear them and therefore must pull them off. They just don’t have enough weight to make it where I throw them, so it’s not my fault that they land willy nilly all over the floor,” he told her with a shrug.
“I tried telling you honey that all you have to do is wrap them together in a ball and toss them.” Her hands wrapped around him tightly, hands moving up and down his back and smiled. “I love feeling your hands on me as well. Too bad I have to get the kiddo home tonight, or I could stay here like this all night long.”
Growling softly he nipped her neck, “You talk like that and touch me like you are, and then say you’re going home? Really not fair D. I should just throw you over my shoulder and haul you off to one of the many rooms in that house and have my wicked way with you until you have to leave.”
Daisy grinned and looked up at him, “Do you think that they would miss us?” She was totally and completely down with that. She missed the man so much that she was more than willing to head off into the darkness with him.
Lifting his head he looked to the group where Honey was sitting wide eyed on Anton’s knee as Marius told a ghost story. “I somehow doubt they’ll notice much of anything for a time. Though the poppet may come running for cover depending on how much she’s creeped out by the stories they are telling her.”
“The doors lock, right?” She asked happily. “Let’s slide into the shadows Mikhail, I need you. I want you. You want me as well.” She whispered and moved her hand down his chest to his cock, squeezing very gently. “Before Honey gets too scared?”
Growling softly at her words he nodded, “Up,” he ordered letting his arms drop from around her. When she was on her feet he stood and took her hand in his and drew her towards the house quickly. Pulling her inside he shut the door and backed her to it, “We may not make a room if you don’t get that look off your face Daisy,” he breathed out before kissing her hard and fast, his body pressing to hers in need.
Daisy wrapped her arms around him tightly and kissed him back just as desperately as he kissed her. “Locked door. Don’t care where.” She began to tug at his shirt after pushing his jacket off and went back to kissing him while pushing her jacket off.
Groaning against her mouth he tugged her shirt from her pants and pulled it off over her head, but held onto it as he scooped her up. Still kissing her, he carried her through the main floor to a room, kicked the door shut and locked it. Moving to the desk, he set her down on it before drawing away to ditch his shirt.
Working on the buttons to his jeans she pulled back for a moment and grinned, “You know Gareth is going to be pissed that we are in here fucking on his desk, right?” Not that she cared. Hell she didn’t even know how she knew it was Gareth’s desk, but somehow she did.
“Don’t really care,” Mikhail said tugging her shoes off and tossing them aside. Working at her bra he drew it off her body and let out a breath, “God,” he whispered. “You’re even more beautiful than I remember.”
“I should warn you about something.” She murmured and let her hands run down his chest, loving the feeling of it. “I got a tattoo a few years ago. Two actually.” Leaning in she nipped at his chest, licking his nipple and then tugging it with her teeth. “I will let you find them though.” His name on her left hipbone and Gareth’s on her right.
Pausing with his hands on the zipper of her slacks he stared down at her, “You got tattoo’s?” he asked just a little surprised. “Why Daisy, when did you turn into such a rebel?” he asked with a slow grin unzipping her pants. Lifting her up slightly he tugged them down and paused, “D,” he paused as he stared down at her hips.
“I told you that I never, ever forgot you.” She whispered softly. “I’ve always loved you, from the moment that you gave me the rose on my eighteenth birthday.” Reaching out she clasped her hand around the back of his neck, “All I’m asking for is another chance, another possibility?”
“Oh baby,” he murmured reverently. Leaning in he kissed her hard, his hands working on getting her tiny slip of underwear off. Pulling her to the edge of the desk he pressed his cock to her, his jeans having been removed at some point. “I’d give you a million chances if it meant having you in my life again.”
Wrapping her legs around his hips she smiled, “Good. I only need one though.” She lifted her ass slightly and nibbled his lower lip. “Love me Mik, remind me just how good it feels to be naked and in your arms.” She had to be dreaming, there was no way that she could be here in his arms like this. Life wasn’t that kind.
Taking his cock in hand he pressed into her slick pussy slowly, taking his time as he pushed through her tight folds. Grinding his teeth he thrust hard to seat himself with a yelp of pleasure. “Always,” he said cupping her face and kissed her as he began to thrust deep into her laying her back on the desk.
She lifted and moved with him, Daisy’s whole being centered on this man that was making love to her now. When he released her mouth to trail kisses down her neck and shoulders she did the same to him, biting here and there as she did so. “Oh God you feel so good.” She moaned loudly.
“I’ve missed you so much,” he breathed out catching her mouth for another long, deep kiss. Letting her breathe he caught a nipple between his teeth to tease, “I’ve missed how we fit together, how you hold me tight as I slide my cock in and out of your sweet pussy.”
“Me too. So much.” She missed everything about this man. “You were the first to make love to me then too.” She whispered with a grin and then moaned, lifting off the desk slightly as she did so. “God, there. Again, please?” She begged.
Thrusting into her hard, faster he moved to her other breast to tease the tight bud of her nipple. “God D you’re so wet,” he growled at her. Cupping her ass he pressed a finger into her anus and stroked her in time with his cock sliding into her pussy.
Daisy didn’t make it much longer, minutes, hell seconds later she was crying out his name. Her legs tightened on him as did her arms. Her whole body convulsed as pure pleasure washed over her and had her screaming his name in bliss.
Slamming into her twice more Mikhail arched back and came, her name torn from his throat on a long growl. Collapsing over her he panted hard, his chest heaving as he fought to get enough air into his lungs.
Daisy’s leg slid down Mikhail’s and she smiled. Grasping his hair and caressing it back gently. “That was amazing.” She hadn't come here with the intention of making love to this man, to either of them; but after her weekend alone and thinking about things, she knew that she wanted and needed a life with them, if they were willing. “I’ve missed you.” she whispered so very softly that she barely heard her own voice.
Lifting his head Mikhail stared down at her, “I’ve missed you too love,” he whispered. Brushing a kiss to her lips he gathered her up in his arms but didn’t pull from her pussy. Moving to the sofa he sat down with her still holding himself deep inside and let her drape herself over him.
Closing her eyes Daisy smiled and then yawned. “I’ve missed this too. Being held by you. Your warmth spreading out over me and just this deep connection. I’ve missed this so very much.” She confessed softly.
Pulling a blanket off the arm of the sofa he shook it out and wrapped it around them both. “I do like the after nearly as much as I like the act,” he murmured softly. “though I much prefer the actual sex with you. You’re so vocal and encouraging.”
Daisy blushed and then went still, “Oh crap, you don’t think that they could hear us do you?” Oh lord if Honey had heard them she would never live it down. “Crap, I should have bit my tongue or something to keep quiet.”
“Babe no one heard us,” he said softly stroking her back lightly. “We’re on the opposite side of the house from the fire, and the house is pretty soundproofed at this point. Even if they were right outside this door they’d never hear anything.”
“Good.” Once more leaning
against him Daisy smiled, “We will figure this all out won’t we? You will come back home to me?” She whispered quietly. “Come back home to your family?” That’s what they were; even though she lived an hour away right now they were a family.
“Of course we will be fine love,” he said softly brushing a kiss to her cheek. “And I will be back in two weeks or less and then we’ll go from there,” he told her. “Will you be okay for two weeks?” he asked hugging her closer to him.
“I will. I have a million things that I have to do, so I should be fine.” She assured him. “That and answering the million and twelve questions that I’m sure that Honey will have.” She murmured with a smile and rubbed her cheek to his shoulder again. “I could get used to this Mik, having you holding me like this again.”
“I’ll always hold you Daisy, with or without sex,” he said with a smile as he looked down at her. Sliding his hand up into her hair he tipped her head back and kissed her deeply, sliding his tongue over hers slowly.
