He ran his hands over her breasts and to her pussy but stopped as his eyes zeroed in on the cut.
She could see the concerned expression, and she immediately cupped his cheeks between her hands.
“Please, Troy. You and Roy helped me forget his touch. Please don’t look at that.”
He stared down into her eyes then ran his thumb barely next to the bruised cheekbone.
“Please,” she whispered.
He leaned forward and kissed her before he pulled her into his arms and hugged her tight. “Let’s get you dried off.” He turned off the water and held her hand as he headed out of the shower. They both saw Mack and Leon at the same time.
“Have a nice shower, sugar?” Mack asked as he handed a towel to Troy who immediately wrapped himself up. Leon opened a big fluffy red one so she could dry off. She stepped forward, his eyes locked in on the cut and then the bruise to her face. He held a serious expression as he wrapped her like a burrito and flipped her into his arms before carrying her from the bathroom.
She held his gaze as he brought her to the bed and began to dry her off. She stopped his movements and placed her hands against his cheeks to look into his eyes.
“I’m sorry.”
He grabbed her hands and moved them off his cheeks as he held her wrists in front of her. She was shocked by his move.
“Stop apologizing. It wasn’t your fault.”
She could tell he was under a lot of stress and angry. She moved closer to him and he released her wrists as she kissed him on the mouth. They lay down together on the bed. She faced him and continued to explore his mouth then wrapped her arms around him to hug him close. She needed to feel him wrapped around her. It was amazing, but she’d made love to the man one time, and right now she wanted to feel protected and encased by him. Her towel fell lower as Leon began to rub along her back. She released his lips and hugged his neck, kissing the shadow of beard across his chin and neck until she reached his ear.
“I need you Leon.” She spoke from the heart and he understood. He hugged her so tight she nearly lost her ability to breathe. Then he rolled her to her back and slowly began to unwrap her.
* * * *
Leon had a plethora of emotions running through him right now. He was trying his hardest not to explode or lose all self-control. Ellena had been manhandled enough by Parker and his thugs. She needed reassurance that she was safe and that she belonged to him and his brothers. He was relieved to find her making love to Roy then Troy in the shower. Now they could take their time and enjoy her.
With each inch of towel he unfolded away from her body, the more aroused and wanton he became. His cock was pushing against the zipper of his pants. After he took a shower, he didn’t want to waste time shaving or putting on underwear. He hoped he could make love to Ellena.
“You are such a beautiful woman. I don’t deserve you,” he whispered. She reached up and gently ran her fingers across his chin then lips. He pulled her finger into his mouth and suckled. Her eyes glistened and shined with arousal. He felt his own body tighten.
“I want you inside of me, Leon.”
“Shortly, sugar. I want to see what’s mine.” He pulled the towel away from her body and absorbed the sight of her beauty. Large, plump breasts, narrow waist, wide hips, and a bare pussy made his mouth water and his heart race with need.
He glanced up to see Mack standing there with only his pants on and Troy and Roy were wearing only towels.
“She’s ours. Isn’t she gorgeous?” Leon whispered, and they stared at her, looking just as hungry as he felt.
He leaned down to lick across her nipple, taking the tip between his lips and suckling before nipping at the sensitive tip.
He sat up and discarded his shirt and then his pants, tossing them to the side.
He moved lower onto the bed and between her thighs as he spread them wider.
“Look at this pretty pink pussy. It’s glistening with your sweet cream, sugar, just asking to be tasted.”
Ellena was panting and holding his gaze. He could see how aroused she was and how hard her nipples looked.
“Reach back and grab onto the bed spindles behind you,” he told her, and when she did, he used his palms to massage up her inner thighs, spreading her wider and making her thrust her pelvis upward. He stared at her pussy. Knowing that she belonged to him now and that he could have her whenever he wanted gave him some peace of mind. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he knew she was in danger. They all were. But right now, in this moment, he needed her.
“Look at this here pussy. All mine for the tasting.” He lowered his face to her cunt, inhaled against her mound, then began to take his fill. He licked and sucked her pussy as he used his thumbs to arouse her clit.
“Leon,” she moaned, and he tasted her small eruption of pleasure over his tongue. He licked and slurped then lifted up to stare at her.
“So hot, baby. Do it again. Give me a taste of that sweet, sexy Cajun cream of yours.”
“Oh God,” she said, and he pressed a finger to her pussy, stroking it as he rose to his knees.
“So fucking beautiful. Fuck, baby, you got me so hard. I need you.”
“Yes. Please, Leon.”
He aligned his cock with her pussy. Lifted her thighs over his thighs and pressed forward.
He needed her. He needed to be close to Ellena and inside her where he knew she was protected. Lifting up, he began a series of long, hard strokes as he reached for her breasts and played with them. Ellena remained holding the spindles, making her breasts bounce with every stroke of his cock.
“Fuck, baby, I love these.” He leaned down and licked each nipple then kissed her hard on the mouth. When he released her lips, he thrust harder, and she gasped.
“I need to touch you. Please, Leon, let me.”
He reached down and stroked his hands along her breasts, letting his thumbs press against her nipples. Then he continued a pathway up her arms to her hands.
“Let go.” She did and he leaned over her and began a fast, steady rhythm above her. Their hands were entwined and their eyes locked on one another.
“You’re mine and I’m going to protect you.”
He couldn’t hold off as he released her hands, covered her body, and thrust into her. The feel of her arms wrapped around his neck and her legs around his waist sent him into a frenzy of deep thrusts. As her heels dug into his ass, he lost all control. As she exploded around him, he followed, shaking in the aftereffects of his climax.
“So good, baby. So damn good.” He rolled to his side, sliding out of her but then pulled her into his arms and hugged her close.
“You’re safe, sugar. He can’t hurt you.”
She closed her eyes and cuddled next to him. Leon looked at his brothers, and they nodded their heads.
“We’ll protect her, Leon. All of us,” Mack said.
Chapter 11
“Tell me that you can handle this, Bently, and that you won’t screw up like Dexter did.” Parker leaned back in the chair behind his desk.
“It seems that Dexter underestimated that woman. He still can’t see out of either eye,” Bently replied with his arms crossed as he stared at Parker.
“That’s the least of his problems. Ellena obviously had time to call the local sheriff, and now Dexter is going to jail. I don’t need this shit. Not now, not when I’m about to make the biggest deal of my life.”
“So why not just forget the woman and forget about the deputy?”
Parker stared at Bently a moment.
“I can’t. He put me behind bars right when I was about to start this deal and get the financial backing. It set me back months, and that asshole Cordero, nearly stole the entire idea out from under me. I was able to cut him off, take over the streets here, and get enough money to start this casino. It’s the perfect front. We’ll be dealing drugs, receiving shipments, and all under the noses of cops and the government.”
“You sure you got the cops and government guys co
vered?”
“Are you kidding me? It just takes knowing the right people and of course, sometimes putting the pressure on. And that is exactly what you’re going to be doing with Lenny in just a little while. My understanding is that some Internal Affairs guy is going to be at the sheriff’s department interviewing Ellena. She’s Leon Rue’s alibi for the assault on the guys. You know what to do. And remember, I don’t care if there are casualties. Just make sure to cause fear. That should take off the pressure as I get ready to close the deal on the land and to take over that building.”
“You got it, boss. Lenny and I will make sure this is done right.”
Bently walked out of the room and Parker sat there thinking about Ellena. She was tough. He hadn’t totally pegged her correctly at all. She also had an amazing body. It killed him to give her that little cut, but he knew it wasn’t deep and would heal quickly. He just wanted to ensure that she understood how serious he was. This wasn’t over as far as he was concerned. Even if he had to wait months, he’d get to her, and when she least expected it. Prison taught him patience and made him a planner. He had all the bases covered. He would win and have her in the end, even if it was just as a symbol of his success and Leon’s failure.

Ellena got dressed, put on a slim-fitting beige skirt and a cream-colored V-neck T-shirt. She was leaning down strapping on her low-heeled sandals when she sensed one of the men approach the doorway.
“That shirt is cut kind of low, isn’t it?” She looked up at him, feeling her cheeks burn. Mack looked handsome. Dressed in his normal attire of dress pants and a button-down shirt, he still looked so executive and important, yet he pulled off casual. She stood up as she noticed the first few buttons of his shirt were undone. She straightened out her shirt and smoothed her hands down her hips.
“I was bent over. That’s why it appeared that way.”
He raised his eyebrows at her then reached for her, drawing her body closer to him.
She pressed her hands against his chest, immediately inhaling the scent of his musky cologne.
“You’re a sexy, young woman, Ellena, and I don’t like thinking about other men checking you out.” She ran her fingers beneath the opening of his shirt and stood up on tiptoes so her lips could reach his chin.
“Well, I could say the same thing to you. Don’t you know you missed a few buttons?”
He squeezed her to him and stared down into her eyes. She could feel the palm of his hand press over her backside and then he cupped her cheek with his hand.
“I’ve never been the jealous type, but with you it comes naturally.”
She was about to respond and tell him that she totally understood exactly how he felt, but he kissed her deeply, making her forget what it was they were even discussing. When he finally released her lips, they were both breathless, but she felt nearly light headed.
“Let’s get you something to eat, and then we need to go to town.”
She smiled at him as he took her hand and led her down the stairs and to the kitchen.
There were sandwiches on the table, some fruit, and a salad. All three men looked nervous, and when she looked back at Mack, he smiled softly then pulled out a stool for her at the island. Roy walked over to her, placed his fingers under her chain then stared down at her. “You look real pretty, sugar.” He leaned in to give her a small kiss. She wanted to tell him how good-looking he was in his tight navy-blue T-shirt and relaxed-fit jeans. His bulging muscles couldn’t be missed.
“You feeling all right, sugar?” Troy asked then caressed her shoulders. She placed her hand over his hand and smiled up at him.
“I feel good. I’m just a little tired.”
“Well, after this meeting, we’ll come back here and rest a bit,” Roy said then popped a cherry tomato into his mouth. He held her gaze and winked. “I’m planning on keeping you in bed for the next few days anyway.”
Her cheeks warmed, and she shyly lowered her eyes and shook her head. These men were too much. This was where her lack of experience showed.
“Eat up and then let’s get this over with,” Leon abruptly stated then took a bite from his sandwich. Ellena sensed his uneasiness and anger. She knew he was concerned. Anything could happen. Ellena placed some salad on her plate as she noticed the others stare at Leon. They seemed to appear just as uneasy as him.

“Okay, so you understand what you need to do?” Bently and Lenny asked Stucky Fevore.
“I got it. Tell Parker I’m sorry for screwing up. Tell him I’ll make it up right now okay,” Stucky stated as he held the bag of drugs in his hands. Inside the brown bag were about fifty small packets of drugs, heroin, meth, and ecstasy, to sell on the streets. Except they weren’t for selling, they were to trap a cop and put him behind bars.
“We’ll tell him. Just be sure that you don’t get caught planting that shit. Now when the investigators come asking questions and they want you to tell them who your supplier is, you be sure to do some good acting, Stucky. Parker needs this deal to go down right,” Lenny added and Stucky promised to do his part.
As Lenny and Bently got into the car, Bently looked at Lenny and raised his eyebrows as if unsure that Stucky would pull this off.
“It will work out perfectly. Stucky doesn’t have shit. He’s served a few months in jail before to help cover up shit. He’ll serve now if need be because he knows when he gets out that Parker is going to hook him up.”
“I fucking hope you’re right. Trusting some swamp rat to handle something this important is taking a huge chance.”
“Bently, trust me, will ya? I’ve had to do this before. Leon Rue will go down for possession and selling. It will take a bit of time but it will work out.”
“How are you so sure, Lenny?” Bently asked.
“We have an extra player on our side and he’ll ensure that the drugs are found at just the right time.”
Bently hoped that Lenny was right. If not, then Parker would waste the two of them.

Deputy Mickey Lemorte arrived and was checking out the surrounding area as Ellena and the men exited the house. They all shook hands hello and then Leon spoke to Mickey for a few moments while the others escorted her to Mack’s SUV. She had Mack’s hand at her back, Roy’s body in front of her, and Troy’s body on the side of her, as if they were acting like a shield. She felt her belly tighten as fear gripped her insides. This was serious, and she wondered if they thought that someone would actually shoot at them or try to get her. That made her nervous, anxious, and just on edge as she got into the backseat of the SUV. Ellena thought about it a moment. Here she was, surrounded by four highly trained men with big muscles. What could possibly penetrate through them?

“I want everyone to be alert and keep your eyes open. I don’t trust this asshole one bit. Jessy, you and Xavier meet Leon and them outside,” Eloi told his men.
“You’re putting on a hell of a show, Sheriff. Interesting that the accused is such a good friend of yours. I understand you know the witness well, too,” Agent Michael Quincy said as he stood by the office door with his hands on his hips. Eloi didn’t like the guy one bit.
“I’m not the only one who’d vouch for Deputy Leon Rue. Just be sure you’re following the rules in this investigative process,” Eloi shot back as one of his deputies indicated that Leon had arrived.
As they entered the building, Eloi noticed that the Rue men flanked Ellena in a protective cluster. He’d be doing the same thing.
She looked at him as they all entered. Eloi took a step forward and pulled Ellena into his arms. He caressed her hair.
“I’m glad you’re okay, Ellena. Your sisters were real worried ’bout you.” He pulled back slightly and shook his head as he gently caressed right below her bruised cheekbone.
“Son of a bitch did that to ya, huh?”
“I’m okay. It could have been worse.”
Eli couldn’t help but feel protect
ive of Ellena. He immediately thought about Angelique and how fearful he was that day she was nearly killed. He rubbed Ellena’s arms then released her to Mack. They all shook hands and the introductions began. As they started to head into the office, the agent stopped everyone.
“No need for the group interview. I’ll need a bit of time alone with Miss Aubert.”
Leon began to protest, but Eloi held up his hand. “It will be okay. We’re all right here.” He held Agent Quincy’s gaze. He didn’t like the guy and didn’t give a shit about making it obvious.
Ellena turned back to look at the men, and Leon brushed his thumb over her lower lip and smiled.
“We’ll be right out here.”
“Okay,” she whispered then followed the agent into the room.
“So what do you think, Eloi? Does this asshole really have grounds to take Leon off the force and charge him criminally?” Mack asked.
Eloi ran his fingers through his hair.
“I don’t think he has enough to charge him. If he did then Leon would be behind bars and negotiating bail. As far as off the force, that may happen sooner than later. It’s protocol when an officer is being investigated for a crime or accusation.”
“This is bullshit. Plus, now that this asshole needs to question Ellena, it puts her life at risk,” Leon said as he paced the floor.
“If what Ellena said is true and Parker is willing to take us all out, then we’re all at risk venturing out in public,” Troy added. They all looked at one another, and Eloi felt fully concerned.
“We need to make some plans. Why don’t we discuss security measures from here on out and what your plans are with Ellena? You know as well as I do that her sisters are going to want to see her, and Ellena is not going to stay away from Aubert’s or Orchidea for long.”
“Shit. I don’t want her out of my sight,” Leon said.
