“Thanks, Dad.”
“So how is it going today, Gunner?” Garret asked him.
“It’s slow. I saw your truck outside, Red, and thought I would come in to see you. There’s something I’ve been meaning to ask you.”
Red wondered what it could be and turned to look at Gunner. Gunner glanced at Garrett, and now Garrett looked as though he might know what this was all about.
“Gia and Deanna are a little concerned about your friend Cassidy.”
Red’s gut clenched. He hoped nothing had come through the police scanner about her ex looking for her. Red felt on the defensive.
“What do you mean?” he asked.
“Cassidy told Gia a little bit about Houston and being worried in getting to know your sons and their team because of it. Seems they are all interested in starting a relationship, but Gia wouldn’t get into what she knows. I just want you to know that you can trust me. So can Cassidy if she’s in some kind of trouble.”
Red looked at Garrett, who continued to wipe the same glass as he listened.
“Is Cassidy in trouble?” Garrett asked.
Red thought about a response for a few seconds. He cared for Cassidy, and he knew right now that she was with Cash and his team at their house. He’d left pretty quickly when he saw them kissing her. He didn’t want Cassidy to feel embarrassed.
“It’s not my place to say what’s going on in her life. I can tell you that right now she seems to be okay. She’s with my sons and the team. They’ve taken a real liking to her.”
Gunner smiled, and Garrett chuckled.
“Poor woman didn’t have a chance. The way Cash watched her that first night they met here. I knew that was going to happen.”
“What about the parade? Memphis and Orlando were attached to her by the hips,” Gunner said.
“They were making it known here at Casper’s that night that she would be their woman. I’m happy for them. Hoping it all works out, but to be honest, she talks like staying here is temporary,” Red told them.
“Gia and Deanna mentioned that. But maybe now that she’s seeing the men, her mind will change,” Garrett said to them.
“It’s not her mind making that decision. It’s the situation back in Houston.”
“Red, I understand if she confided in you and you can’t break that trust. I wouldn’t ask you to do that. I just want you to know, and of course for Cassidy to know, that we have her back. If she’s in some kind of trouble, she can tell us, and we’ll all help her out.”
“I appreciate that, Gunner. But Marines are not ones to ask for help and show weakness. I’ll talk to her though. Make her understand that it would be beneficial if she let down that guard enough to let us all in.”
“Sounds good, Red,” Gunner said as John Luke came back from the kitchen.
“Be ready in five minutes,” he told Gunner.
“Great. I’m starving,” Gunner said then took a seat by the bar.
Red thought about these men around him. They were trustworthy, and they were friends. Maybe his sons and the others could get Cassidy to tell them about Blaze. Then they could all protect her and keep her from harm’s way. He thought so much of Cassidy. To think she could become his daughter-in-law really made him smile. She deserved some happiness after Houston. It made him wonder how Stryker had taken to her, and he hoped Stryker didn’t try something or push her away. If he had another wish, it would be for Stryker to get better and realize life was worth living after all. Maybe Cassidy would be the one to show him.

“I should really head to the cottage to shower,” she said as she snuggled next to Memphis.
He stroked her arm and her hip as Coast kissed her shoulder and pressed his cock against her ass.
“Stay here and shower with us,” Memphis said then kissed her forehead and then her nose.
She kissed his chest and ran her hands along his pectoral muscles. Behind her, Coast trailed a finger along her waist by the tattoo. They were both touching her, arousing her body once again.
“You have beautiful skin, Cass, and this body… Damn, I love this body,” Coast told her, and she felt his lips and then teeth scrape along her spine then to her ass cheeks.
Memphis lifted her thigh up against his, opening her to Coast’s ministrations.
She felt Coast’s fingers press against her tender pussy. She moaned and waited for the slight ache to pass. Memphis cupped her cheeks.
“You’re sore?” he asked, and Coast pulled his fingers from her pussy.
“Don’t stop. Not that sore,” she told them.
Memphis kissed her then released her lips.
“Nice and slow, Coast. Our baby’s a little sore.” Memphis cupped her breast then ran his hand along her thigh, lifting it higher.
Coast’s fingers slid right up into her cunt, and she moaned softly.
“We need you, Cass. Can you handle both of us?” Memphis asked, and she nodded.
A moment later they were adjusting her to their liking. Memphis slid to the edge of the bed as Coast reached for the dresser drawer.
Memphis lifted her by her hips, she grabbed a hold of his hard cock, and as he lowered her over him, she took him deep inside her cunt. She felt desperate and needy for them. It was crazy. He lifted and lowered her hips, indicating he wanted her to move. She did and began to thrust up and down his shaft, feeling her vaginal muscles ache and burn slightly. The more she moved, the less and less it burned, and finally she felt her muscles relax.
Memphis was thick and hard, and she gripped his shoulders, using them as leverage to counter his thrusts as she stroked downward. When Coast pressed the cool liquid to her ass as he kissed her spine, Memphis pulled her down to him for a kiss. She felt the burning sensation then a few strokes of Coast’s fingers before he replaced them with his cock.
“Fuck, I love this ass. You have me so hard, Cass. I won’t last, baby. You’re a goddess,” Coast told her.
She felt him slide in and then thrust so he couldn’t go any deeper.
Over and over again, he pulled out and thrust back in. Then he and Memphis started working in sync, leaving her body never empty of cock.
“I thought I was missing something in here,” Orlando said and climbed onto the bed, holding his cock in his hand then reaching for Cassidy’s hair.
She opened for him with hunger and desire. Wanting three cocks in her at the same time turned her on. She was ruined for life.
She licked the tip of Orlando’s cock then pulled him deeper. He gripped her hair tighter and hissed at the sensations.
“This mouth is incredible. This body is,” he said, and she felt the smack to her ass. It made her drip more cream. In and out, the three of them fucked her together. She felt tight. She felt over sensitive and then Coast began to thrust faster.
She hummed against Coast’s cock, making him grunt.
“Fuck, I can’t take it. Damn, I can’t take it.”
“I’m there. Holy fuck, baby, I’m there.” Coast roared as he massaged her ass cheeks, spreading them and thrusting into her ass from behind. He roared, and she felt his cock enlarge and then he exploded. He jerked his hips, and Orlando released his seed into her mouth. She swallowed profusely, trying to get it all down. She licked at him like a hungry mate, wanting to catch every bit of his cum. Her body tightened, her breasts ached, and Memphis lightly bit her nipple and pulled.
She screamed out as she came. She shook and convulsed, and Memphis followed. He gripped her hips and held himself upward as he came and shook beneath her. She collapsed against Memphis’s chest. She felt Orlando caress her hair from her face then lean down and kiss her cheek a few times. Behind her, Coast pulled from her ass and gave each cheek a slap.
“Hey,” she mumbled.
Orlando palmed her ass and caressed it. “Hey yourself. We own that ass.” He gave it a tap and smiled.
She didn’t feel like arguing with them over that statement. She was once again putty in their hands. These me
n knew how to satisfy a woman and then some. She was in heaven.
“I missed all the fun, huh?” Cash said as he entered the room, wearing only his briefs.
“Yes you did,” she replied, and Memphis chuckled. She heard and felt the rumbling against her ear as she lay against his chest.
“How about a shower then? Just you and me?” Cash asked.
“Where’s Stryker? Is he okay?” she asked, sitting up.
Cash nodded. “Sleeping like a baby. You wore him out, sexy.” Cash reached for her, and Memphis helped by lifting her from her hips upward.
She wrapped her arms around Cash’s neck as he carried her out of the room.
“We’ll pull something together for lunch,” Memphis said.
“We’ll meet you down there later,” Cash replied and carried her into the large bathroom.
Keeping her in his arms, he turned on the faucets in the shower. She couldn’t resist him. He was just as desirable as the others, yet they all had different qualities she liked. It was funny, but she was noticing the differences pretty quickly. They all hadn’t known one another long. She held on to him and kissed his neck and ear as he checked the temperature in the shower.
Cash was very commanding. He liked to be in charge and to lead. He also cared for his brother, Stryker, so deeply. She worried about Stryker now. She hoped he wasn’t in pain.
She pulled back as Cash began to carry her into the shower.
“How is Stryker? Is he feeling okay?” she asked, holding on to his shoulders as she eased out of his arms to stand in the shower.
The hot water cascaded over them, and she closed her eyes a moment as Cash reached for the soap.
He lathered it in his hands but didn’t answer.
“Cash?” she asked, feeling more concerned.
He lathered up the soap and began to wash her body. She took the soap from his hands and washed his chest in return.
“He’s in pain, isn’t he? He overdid it? Is he angry?” she asked.
Cash poured some shampoo onto her hair and began to wash it in. “What was the line you said to us? Ask me no questions?”
And I’ll tell you no lies. Stryker is in pain.
“I want to see him. I want to help him,” she said, and he helped her rinse the shampoo from her hair. He took down the bottle of conditioner and added it to her hair.
Before she could rinse it out, he pressed her against the wall as the water removed the rest of the soapy suds from their bodies.
“I need you right now. You’ve helped him more than you know, Cass.” Cash kissed her deeply. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders as he lifted her up and thrust his cock between her pussy lips until he was embedded inside of her. He held himself deep and rocked against her. Releasing her lips, he kissed along her neck then by her ear.
“You mean more to us then you realize, sweetheart. You came out of nowhere and knocked us on our asses.”
“I think you guys came out of nowhere and knocked me on my ass,” she countered.
He smiled then nipped her bottom lip, pulled on it, then kissed her again. He began to thrust into her as she counter-thrust against him.
“So good, Cash. You feel so hard and big.”
“You make my cock big and hard. I could fuck you for hours, Cassidy. I could get lost inside of you.” He thrust a little faster and deeper, making her moan, causing the tightness to begin to form.
“I wish I could stay here like this forever,” she said as he thrust faster, and she tilted her head back, exposing her throat to his mouth.
He licked and suckled as he stroked faster and faster until she cried out and they both came together.
“I could love you, Cassidy. We all could, if you let us,” he told her.
She felt the tears reach her eyes, and she wouldn’t let them fall. The ache in her heart was terrible.
“I don’t know if I can.”
“You can, Cassidy. Just let us in. Let us take care of you in every way.”
The tears were about to fall, and she felt her lip begin to quiver.
“He’s out there, Cash. Eventually he’ll come find me, and I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if anything happened to any of you or Red.”
She hugged him, and he squeezed her tight.
“Who is he, Cass? Why can’t you confide in us? We’re soldiers. We can protect you better than anyone can.”
“He’s a soldier too. He’s out of his mind. He’ll kill you to get to me. I know he will, and I can’t let that happen.”
She wiggled from his arms, causing his cock to pull from her body, leaving her feeling hallow inside. She turned away from him and rinsed the conditioner from her hair.
“This conversation isn’t over, Cassidy. You’re being stubborn. We can help you.”
“The conversation is over, Cash. I didn’t lie to you. I confided in you and told you the truth. When I have to leave, even though I don’t want to, you’ll know exactly why.” She turned off the shower and squeezed out her hair as he stepped out and began to dry off. She took the other towel, and he held her gaze.
“Do you really think I’m going to accept that? That Coast, Stryker, Memphis, and Orlando are going to accept that? There’s no fucking way, Cassidy. When we all made love together, it bound our bodies and our hearts. You feel it. I know you do. You couldn’t walk away right now if you tried. You don’t want to because you know we’re perfect for you.”
“What’s going on in here?” Memphis asked as he approached the doorway. His hair was wet as if he’d just showered.
“Nothing.”
“Some dick soldier is after her. She believes that he would kill us, even my father, to get to her.”
“What, Cassidy?” Memphis asked, and she looked at Cash.
“I said I wouldn’t risk your lives, or Red’s. I’m sticking by that. I know what this guy is capable of, and I know he’ll come looking for me sooner or later. I can’t pretend that’s not the case. I can’t place all of you in that kind of danger. You’re right, Cash. It would be hell trying to walk away from all of you, but if it meant keeping you safe and alive, then I’d do it. You can’t change my mind or convince me otherwise.”
She walked past them, hearing Cash curse under his breath.
She reached for her clothing. Orlando was there, leaning against the doorframe. Memphis and Cash walked in from the bathroom. She quickly got dressed.
“Have lunch with us,” Orlando said, and it was obvious he’d heard their conversation from the bathroom.
“I should go.”
“No you shouldn’t. We need to talk about this,” Memphis stated firmly. Now he was as pissed off as Cash.
“There’s nothing to talk about. Now you know the truth. Leave it be.”
“What truth?” Coast asked, joining the crowd.
“That some fucked-up soldier is after her. She believes that he’d kill us and my dad if we got in the way of protecting her from him,” Cash said.
“What the hell? Seriously, Cassidy? This is the danger you’ve been hiding? Some guy is stalking you?” Coast asked.
“I’ve said enough. The less you know, the better.” She reached for the blouse.
“Bullshit. The more we know, the better we can protect you.” Orlando raised his voice this time. Sweet, funny Orlando was pissed off. That wasn’t good.
She took a deep breath, released it, then sat on the edge of the bed.
“Talk to us. Tell us everything so we understand,” Cash stated.
“It’s obvious that this guy scares you and has you convinced that you can’t let your guard down or involve anyone who could help you,” Coast added.
“He threatened my friend. He harassed her for weeks until she told him I moved to New York. If Lynn didn’t have Chris and Jim, her two boyfriends who are soldiers, then he probably would have physically hurt her.”
“Lynn was your roommate? The one you left the furniture with?” Memphis asked her. She nodded.
She wrung her
fingers together and chewed her bottom lip.
“I had to leave pretty quickly. Things got out of hand fast.”
“He hurt you, Cassidy? Hit you, abused you?” Coast asked, and she looked up to see all their angry expressions.
“He was possessive. I didn’t realize something was wrong with him until that possessiveness and constant attention and need to know my every move became an obsession for him.”
“How so?” Orlando asked her.
“I lost my job because of him. I mean I had to quit because he started to harass some of the male clients I saw at the VA hospital. A simple hug hello and goodbye from another man and he would lose it.”
“You tried to break up with him?” Cash asked, and she could tell it annoyed him to ask her that.
“I don’t think we should talk about this. You’re getting angry and jealous because this was a guy I was seeing. I don’t want you to be affected by any of this. Can’t you see that, Cash?”
He walked toward her and knelt on the floor in front of her. He took her hand into his.
“This man hurt you. He scared you so much you left your job, your life in Houston where you helped soldiers like us, and made you run and hide. That’s what’s making me angry, and of course the fact that you won’t accept our help and protection.”
She shook her head.
“I can’t. He’ll try to kill you.”
“How do you know he will? Maybe he just threatened that or said those types of things to manipulate and control you. It’s typical abusive boyfriend behavior and mentality,” Coast added.
She clenched her teeth and felt the tears reach her eyes.
“It was more than words, Coast.”
“He hit you?” Memphis asked.
“I’m a Marine. I’m supposed to be tough.”
“Against a guy like that? Give me a break, Cassidy. You could have gotten an order of protection or gone to the police,” Memphis said to her.
“And look like the weak female Marine who can’t defend herself? It was bad enough having to prove I was tough enough to be in the Corps to begin with.”
“That’s what stopped you from getting help?” Orlando asked her, making it seem so stupid and minor.
