Saving His Princess

by Elisa Leigh

  “Help me up assholes.” Rash walks over and holds out his hand to help me up. When I’m standing, I clap him on the back. “Thanks, man.”

  ∞∞∞

  We got back to Spanky’s late last night with Emersen here to stitch me up. I swear the woman could go to medical school and become a kick-ass doctor if she were ever inclined to do so. Lana stayed with me the entire time, watching and holding my hand to make sure I was okay. She listened as Emersen gave us instructions on how to care for the wound, then walked me back to our room.

  I laid down while Lana took a long shower, washing the past week and a half away. I know this time will stay with her, just as last year will be with her for a long time. Hopefully, with time the nightmares will fade, and she’ll think about all the good memories we’ll make. She hasn’t said much about what happened when they were gone, and I suspect she might not ever tell me. If she ever needs me to, I’ll be here to listen.

  I’ve been laying here with her in my arms watching her sleep. I’m exhausted barely getting a few hours a night since she was taken, but it’s hard to close my eyes now that I have her here. That weasel Razor is still out there causing God knows what kind of damage.

  When she shifts against me and turns in my arms, facing me, I can’t help myself, and I place a soft kiss on her mouth. She moans and takes the kiss deeper.

  “Vince,” she whispers when I pull away. I can’t tell if she’s still dreaming or if she needs me, but I’m determined to let her rest.

  “Sleep, my love. I’ll be here in the morning when you wake.”

  “You better be,” she mumbles and in seconds is snoring lightly again.

  I shut my eyes, finally able to get the sleep that I’ve needed.

  Chapter Twenty-Two

  Lana

  Waking up snuggled to the man who keeps me safe and secure is one of the best feelings in the world. He’s passed out and curled around me, causing his hard on to dig into my back. I could lay with him forever, but I never get the chance to wake up before him.

  Slipping away I push him on his back slowly as to not wake him and slip my hand under the covers, finding his thick shaft waiting for some attention. I grasp his shaft in my hand and start to slide my hand up and down. When I feel his pre-cum begin to drizzle over my fingers, I peak my head under the covers to get a taste of him.

  Continuing to stroke him steadily, I suck the head of his dick into my mouth. Moaning at his taste, I take him further into my mouth until he hits the back of my throat. Swallowing, move up and down his shaft trying to get all of him down my throat. I realize he’s awake when he tangles his fingers in my hair and starts pulling my head up and down his shaft.

  “Just like that baby. Fuck it feels so good to have your hot mouth sucking me off. Ohhh, Lana, you have to stop. I’m not coming in your mouth. I’m saving all my cum for your pussy.”

  I release him from my mouth and pull the sheet and covers to the end of the bed. His dick is hard and waiting for me to give him what he needs, what we both need. I look up to see him biting his lip and watching me, his eyes full of desire. When he crooks his finger at me, I crawl up the bed and sit beside him. I’m lost, wanting to take control but unsure of how.

  “Come here, love.” He beckons, holding out his arm for me to nestle into his side.

  Instead of lying beside him I straddle his middle and clasp his face in my hands. Leaning down, I kiss him, pouring all of my love and desire into this one kiss. He grabs my hips, sliding me against his hard cock. I moan, loving how good this feels. I didn’t know how much I would miss his touch, didn’t realize how essential it was. I reach behind me and position him at my opening. Slowly, I slide down his shaft until he’s fully seated inside me. I bite my lip, and my head falls back at the feel of him stretching me. I cry out in ecstasy, loving how full I feel with him inside me.

  “Baby, fuck. You’re so fucking perfect. God knew just what he was doing when he made you. I need you to move that perfect pussy.” He groans.

  I’ve never done this before, never been on top. I slowly move my hips, so I’m riding his dick. I close my eyes and move with him. It’s this crazy, chaotic storm of euphoria mixed with love and heat, and I’m consumed by the feel of his very hard, thick shaft touching every part of me. I’m not expecting to feel his rough hands grab my tits.

  I gasp when I look down, watching him twist my nipples between his thumb and forefingers. The small bite of pain is exhilarating and is a straight shot to my clit. “Vince, it feels, you feel… It’s so good.”

  Leaning down I rest my hands on his chest and start moving faster, chasing my orgasm.

  “Goddamn, just like that Princess. Don’t you dare fucking stop.” Vince says, grabbing ahold of my hips, leaving marks of possession, and slamming me down on his cock.

  The faster we move, the more my clit rubs against him, driving me crazy in the best possible way. “I’m so close Vince. I’m going to come.” I moan in carnal satisfaction, digging my nails into his chest. My hips drive faster, moving over him, needing him to come with me.

  “Come, baby, I’m right there with you. Fuck, your pussy is squeezing my dick so good I don’t know how I’ve lasted this long.”

  “Ohhh… ohhh I’m coming Vince, I’m coming!” I cry out in pure bliss.

  Laying against his muscled body, my heart starts to slow, and my breathing becomes less choppy. Finally looking up, I see a satisfied grin on his handsome face.

  “What are you smiling so big about?” I ask.

  He brushes my curls behind my ears and stares at me for the longest time. “You’re so beautiful Lana. I’m never going to go another day without seeing your beautiful face.” He traces my lips with the tip of his index finger, “Kissing these sweet lips. Or hearing the sounds of your cries when I’m coming deep inside you.”

  My stomach decides this is the moment to ruin such a poignant moment in our lives. Moving less gracefully than I’d like, I get off Vince and crawl to the side of the bed. Once my feet touch the floor, I’m running for the bathroom and vomiting into the toilet. Seconds later Vince is beside me pulling my hair back and holding it out of my face.

  Once I’m finished, he gets up and gets me a wet washcloth and hands it to me. I clean my face then trade the cloth for the glass of water he has waiting for me.

  “Thank you.” I groan, still feeling nauseous.

  He laughs, and I look over, glaring at him. He doesn’t stop until I kick him in the shin.

  “Ow, damn your feisty.” My glare does nothing to dissuade him from sitting beside me. After a few minutes of rubbing my back, he squeezes my hand, and I look over. “You too?” He asks, hope shining in his bright blue eyes.

  It’s then that I realize what he’s talking about. I haven’t had a period since right before we met. “It must be in the water,” I say, shocked.

  I get up off the floor and walk to the sink and look at myself in the mirror. I hold my belly looking for any differences, trying to see if it feels any different. “Do you think it’s true? Am I really carrying our baby?”

  Vince walks up behind me and holds me from behind, resting his hands on mine. Kissing the spot where my neck meets my shoulder, he nips me then kisses me again. “There’s only one way to be sure love. If you are, which I really hope is the case, I’ll be the happiest man alive. The only thing better than having you for the rest of my life is sharing you with our children.”

  Chapter Twenty-Three

  Vince

  It’s driving me crazy not knowing whether or not she’s carrying my baby. I told Ryker to grab one of the tests they had at their house since Emersen bought a whole bunch when she found out. He had to run home and get a few things since we’re still on lockdown here in the bunker. When he got back and handed it to me, I wanted to snatch Lana out of the kitchen and make her take it immediately. When I peeked my head in to do just that, she was laughing and smiling, surrounded by the women who have taken her in and made her a part of the family.

>   We still haven’t found Razor or any of his main men, and we aren’t going to risk putting the women in danger to be home in our beds. Ryker decided it’s in the best interest for everyone if we all stay here until we locate Razor and shut down his entire operation.

  The women have been in the kitchen for almost an hour making a big breakfast to celebrate having Lana and Holly home. The guys have been seated around the huge table waiting for them to finish. The only one missing around here is Triton. Carter said he saw him head out around the same time we were meeting to plan their extraction.

  Emersen and Holly walk in first, carrying large platters of eggs, bacon, and sausage. Lana and Chelsea follow behind them with pancakes and fruit.

  “Hot damn it smells good in here. Thanks a bunch ladies.” Jester says rubbing his belly looking at the pile of pancakes.

  “Lana get your ass over here woman. Fuck it, I can’t take this anymore.”

  She places her platter on the table and watches as I jump out of my chair and march over to her. “You’re taking this test now.” I grab her and throw her over my shoulder. “Vince put me down, you crazy man!” She says trying to sound stern but ends in a laugh.

  “Not happening, I haven’t been able to think about anything but this. You’re going to pee on the damn stick, so we’ll know for sure.” I walk us to the end of the hall into my room, not putting her down until we’re in the bathroom.

  “Here baby, pee on this.”

  She takes the test from my hand and glares up at me. “Was that really necessary?”

  “You have no idea how necessary.”

  She rolls her eyes and keeps staring at me. “Are you going to give me some privacy, so I can take it?”

  “Oh I don't mind, pee away. I want to be here for the whole experience.”

  “I can’t believe this. You really aren’t leaving?”

  I shake my head no, and she walks to the toilet and pulls up her dress, then sits down. When she’s finished, she stands against the counter with the stick in her hand watching, waiting for it to tell us our fate.

  After a minute she looks up at me, bottom lip sucked into her mouth and unshed tears in her eyes. Holding the stick out to me she smiles and nods. “It’s positive Vince, you’re going to be a daddy.”

  I grab the stick and stare it, not believing the news. I fall to my knees and hug her legs, rubbing my face against her belly. I push her dress up and kiss her flat stomach. “Thank you, Princess. You have no idea, no clue how happy you’ve made me.”

  Lana runs her hands through my hair. “I know Vince because you’ve made me happier than I’ve ever been. But now I need pancakes, and bacon, definitely bacon.”

  Smiling I stand and kiss the top of her head. “Then bacon and pancakes are what you’ll have.”

  We walk back out to the dining room and sit down with the rest of our family. In the middle of finishing our breakfast, there’s a banging on the door to the bunker. All our eyes go to Pres who is standing looking down at his wife.

  “Get the women into one of our rooms. I want Carter, Jester, and Prince on that door. Rock and Rash, you’re with me.”

  Ten minutes later Pres whistles for us. “It’s safe to come out. I want everyone out here, now.”

  “Of course it’s safe for you to come out. It’s not like I have a gun or anything. I wouldn’t even know how to use one if I did.” I hear a woman reply.

  Walking back to the dining room a small woman is holding a little girl in her arms.

  “Who the hell is this and why is she down here?” Carter asks, crossing his arms over his chest.

  Before she can reply, I do. “You’re Phoenix.”

  “You said your name was Harper,” Pres says staring pointedly at the woman.

  “Phoenix is my code name. My real name is Harper, almost no one knows this though. I’d appreciate it if you’d keep it quiet.”

  “Where’s Triton?” I ask, starting to put the pieces together.

  “He was taken, by the same men who took your women.” She says nervously.

  “How do you know this? Any of this?” Rash asks coming to stand next to me.

  “I work for Razor.”

  Rash tenses and goes to grab the gun on his hip, but I stop him. “Wait, let her finish. Tell them the rest of the story Harper.”

  “Mommy, I’m thirsty.” The little girl in her arms whines and wiggles out of her arms.

  “Hey, little cutie. What’s your name?” Chelsea asks crouching down in front of her. The girl hides behind her mom’s legs but peaks her head out. “I’m Finley.”

  Smiling wide, Chelsea sticks out her hand. “My name is Chelsea. It is nice to meet you little Fin. Would you like some milk?”

  Finley bobs her head up and down excitedly. “Do you have chocolate milk?”

  “Do we have chocolate milk? Of course, we do! Just stick with me little Fin. I’ll hook you up with all the good stuff.”

  Chelsea holds out her hand and waits. Finley looks up at her mother and waits for her to agree. “Go ahead with Ms. Chelsea honey.” Chelsea and Holly walk Finley into the kitchen.

  “Tell me why I shouldn’t kill you where you stand,” Pres commands.

  Harper sits at the table and looks Pres directly in the eyes. “I didn’t know where else to go. Triton and I were supposed to meet, he said he could protect me from Razor. I was running a few minutes late, and when I got there, I saw a couple of Razor’s men shoving him into the back of an SUV. I wanted to go after them, but I couldn’t go back, not after I finally got away.”

  “Did you have anything to do with Holly and Lana being taken?” I ask.

  “None of that matters. We need to find him before he winds up dead.” Pres says slamming his hands on the table.

  Harper jumps and nods her head. “I’ll need access to Triton’s office. Somewhere I can set up and find these assholes.”

  Pres looks at me, and I nod. He leads her back to his office, and we all look around wondering what the fuck just happened.

  Epilogue One

  Lana

  “Oh my God Vince, these chili cheese fries are amazing!” I moan, eating another bite. I’m days from my due date, and all I want to do is eat. When I’m done eating, I want to sleep. When I wake up, I want to eat, and it’s this endless cycle of eating and sleeping and getting bigger by the day.

  “Lana, why are you doing this to yourself. You know these fries give you heartburn.” Vince says, walking over to my desk. “Who did you convince to bring them to the shop. I know it wasn’t any of my guys because I told them the last time this happened they’d be fired if they got you any more of this shit.”

  I start to cry, and I throw the stupid fries away. He’s right, but I hate that he’s right. Stupid heartburn making me feel bad after eating the best food on the planet!

  “Baby don’t cry, shit.” He says drying my tears away with the pads of his thumbs.

  “It’s so stupid. I don’t even care about the fries. I’m just so big and bulky. My balance is off, and I keep running into everything. I’m no use to anyone. I even suck at being your receptionist. Why do you even have me coming in here?”

  “Come on love, let’s get out of here.”

  “But you still have three more appointments today.”

  “Dave can handle them. Let’s go.” He says gently, pulling me to my feet and out of my chair.

  Vince takes me by the hand and leads me to his truck. The cool September air feels good on my overheated skin. Once I’m in the truck, he buckles me up and kisses me on the lips before shutting my door and walking around to get in on his side.

  “Where are we going?”

  “I’m taking you home to rest. I hate that you have to sleep on the couch in my office.”

  “That couch is more than perfect to nap on Vince, you bought the Cadillac of all couches.”

  “You’d be more comfortable at home where you can be naked and in bed.”

  “How do you know me so well?”


  “You’re the book I read every day of my life. I breathe you in like the oxygen filling our lungs. I know everything about what you need to make sure you never have to go a day being upset. Now I can’t fix how you’re feeling, but I can sure as hell make you feel as

  comfortable as possible.”

  Vince

  She didn’t even make it to the house before she was passed out. I carried her up to our bedroom and made her comfortable. She curled right up and has been sleeping ever since. Lana’s pregnancy has been uneventful except for the normal crazy hormones and food cravings.

  We’ve grown closer as the months have passed and my love for her has only grown. I’ve been sitting here watching her sleep for the past two hours thinking about how much our lives have changed. It might seem crazy to some, but I always have eyes on her. If she’s not with me at the shop, she’s with someone else from the Steel Daggers.

  The day she was taken from me will be something I’ll remember every day for the rest of my life. I hold her tighter and kiss her longer, knowing it could be the last time. I also make sure she’s wearing the earrings Triton had made for all the women. They have tracking devices in them, so if any of them are ever taken again, we’ll know exactly where they are.

  After finding out they were pregnant, she and Holly decided to put school on hold and focus on their pregnancies. I loved the idea. Eventually, Lana agreed to become the receptionist at Steel Ink since she was already doing most of the job anyway since she was always there. She seems to enjoy her work, but I know she’s just waiting for our beautiful Sable to get here.

  Her eyes pop open, and she holds her arms up to me. “I need to pee. Help, please, I have to pee so bad.”

  Laughing, I help her off the bed and to the bathroom, although she could have made it there on her own. When she’s finished, she walks over to me and hugs me close. “I love you, Vince. Thank you for everything.”
