“Aleki,” she sobbed.
“Just stay there, sweetheart.”
There was the sound of raised voices. Screaming. A gun went off. Something smashed. More voices. She couldn’t make out what they were saying, though.
A long, crazed scream filled the air. The scream was cut off abruptly.
And nothing.
The sudden silence terrified her. Pippa realized she was crouched on the floor with her hands over her ears, her heart pounding. She panted for air. What was happening? Was anyone hurt? Had they gotten the gun off Adele?
“Pippa! Pippa, baby, open the door.”
Matek? What would Matek be doing there? He shouldn’t be there. He should be resting.
“Poppet? Are you okay?”
Aric was there too. She looked over at the door. She should open it. She knew she should.
“Little one, you’re safe now. Adele is gone. Open the door for us.” Tavi’s voice was gentle but held a note of command. She shuffled closer to the button which would open the door. But there was something holding her back.
There were whispers on the other side.
“Miss Jones. Open this door. Immediately.”
That did it. She stood and hit the button.
Then they were there, drawing her into their arms, passing her from one brother to the others. Aric plastered kisses on her face. Tavi insisted on checking her over for injuries. Kassim drew her close, holding her tight. But it was Matek who took her chin in his hand as he leaned on one crutch.
“Baby, you okay?”
“I am now,” she told him shakily. “I was so scared. She had a gun. I was worried Tavi and Aric would come into the room and she’d shoot them.”
“Better she shoot at us than you,” Tavi said grimly.
All of the men looked furious. Kassim had that tic by his eye again, she had a feeling she wasn’t good for his health.
“Something was wrong with her,” she told them. “She sounded so crazy. She wanted all of you, but she had to get rid of me first.”
Aleki raced in, coming to a stop as he saw her. “Are you okay? Do you need a doctor, Pip?”
She shook her head. “I’m fine. Thank you for keeping me calm in there. She didn’t hurt me. But Matek, you should sit down.”
Matek grumbled but let her steer him to the bed. He drew her down beside him and she had to admit it was good to get off her shaky legs.
“Where is she?” she asked.
“Caleb and Hux are taking her somewhere secure,” Aleki explained. “Judd is in the security room. I raced over here once I heard they had her. Pip, what did she say to you?”
“She said she was the one who hit me in the alley and sent those photos. She hired someone to take me out in London.”
“Fucking bitch,” Matek muttered as Aric crouched in front of her, placing his head in her lap. She ran her fingers through his hair.
“Anything else?” Wolfe asked. When had he come into the room? She had to be in shock.
“Yes, oh God, I can’t believe I forgot. She said that Jeric was helping her. That he gave her the gun.”
Matek and Aric stiffened and she looked over at Kassim.
“Jeric?” he whispered in a deadly voice.
“Yes. I’m so sorry.”
Kassim turned to Wolfe. “Find him.”
Wolfe nodded back at him then turned and took off.
“She said he hated all of you because you only gave him a small amount of money. Or something like that.”
“Greedy bastard,” Kassim said, shocking her. Kassim rarely swore.
“Fucking asshole gets plenty of money,” Aric added.
“When I get my hands on him . . .” Tavi added.
“Dead,” Matek said.
She shivered. “I’m just glad that she didn’t hurt you.”
“Or you, tamiya.” Kassim knelt and placed his hands over hers. “It seems that we cannot take our eyes off you. You’re always getting into trouble.”
“Hey! I resent that.”
“It’s true,” Aric said with a grin. “We need to write up a roster. Make sure we have eyes on her at all times.”
“That is not happening.” They were overprotective enough as it was.
“If anything happened to you, little one, we wouldn’t be able to go on. You’re our everything,” Tavi told her.
“Precious,” Matek agreed.
“All we have ever wanted,” Aric added.
“Ours.” Kassim leaned in and kissed her.
She smiled at them all. “Ditto.”
Epilogue
Pippa leaned out over the balcony, barely able to suppress a giggle.
The hot sun beat down on her head and she knew if one of her men caught her out here without a sunhat on then she’d be in trouble.
But it was worth it. This prank was going to be epic.
She had to ignore the beauty of the white sand and glistening blue-green sea that was just off in front of her as she waited impatiently for him to appear below her. Hopefully, she’d timed it right and he should be coming out for his midday swim in the pool that lay almost directly below her.
They’d been on the private island owned by her men for seventeen days now. It had taken a while for all of them to process that Adele had been the one behind the threats to Pippa, the photos, the attack in the alley, the hit-and-run in London.
Adele had completely lost grasp on reality. Nobody would tell her much about what the other woman had said when they’d questioned her.
All Kassim had told her was that Adele was going somewhere where she’d get the help she needed, and that she’d live the rest of her life there. To Pippa, that sounded worse than jail or death. But she refused to feel sorry for her.
Unfortunately, they’d been unable to find Jeric. By the time Kassim had sent Wolfe on his trail, he was gone. They thought he must have left by boat. Caleb’s best guess was that he’d given Adele the gun as a distraction to let him leave unseen. Somehow, he’d managed to steal some expensive items from the secured vault under the palace.
Apparently, there were quite a few pieces of jewelry as well as gold bullion missing. It seemed that Jeric had been stealing items for a while. Kassim was angry at himself for not following up when they’d discovered his grandmother’s necklace was missing. But it wasn’t his fault. There had been a lot going on. She was sad not to have seen the necklace, although wearing it might have terrified her.
Kassim thought he’d probably been helping Adele with her crazy scheme in order to create chaos within the palace so no one noticed what he’d been up to.
How he’d gained access to the vault and managed to mess with the security cameras had them all coming up with theories. But no one would know the full truth unless they caught up to Jeric and got him to confess. Something his brothers were swearing to do. She thought they were even more upset than her men. They were taking their own brother’s betrayal hard.
Isobelle had been very upset over Adele, blaming herself for inviting her into the palace. But Pippa had talked with her, trying to reassure her that it wasn’t her fault. She and her husbands had stayed in Escana while they were all on the island for their Marjarsom.
They’d remained in Escana to sort out the mess for two weeks before coming out here to the island. It had taken a while for everyone to relax, especially Kassim, but they were finally getting there. Even Matek was in a better mood now he could walk without crutches. He still had to be careful not to overdo it, but he was close to fully healed.
Wait. There he was. She held the water balloon over the edge of the balcony.
Now to time it right.
There! She dropped the water balloon and watched as it hit his shoulder. Shoot, she’d been aiming for his head. She quickly picked up another one as he turned with a surprised yell. Then she threw it towards his face.
She froze as his wet face scowled up at her.
“Miss Jones!” he roared.
“Oh no! I’m so sorry it was
meant for Aric! I don’t know how this keeps happening!” Run! She needed to run! Except, she had all these water balloons that would go to waste.
“What happened to you?” Aric asked as he stepped out by Kassim.
Perfect. She hastily grabbed a water balloon and threw it at Aric. Unfortunately, she was giggling so hard that her aim was off and it hit the ground next to his foot. But it sent water spraying up.
“What the hell?” He peered up at her. Right as she got him smack in the face. By now, tears of laughter were falling down her cheeks.
“Oh, it is on!” Aric yelled. “Water balloon fight!”
He raced into the house. Oh shit.
“I suggest you run, Miss Jones,” Kassim said in a voice that made her insides shiver. “We’re coming for you.”
Slime balls! She grabbed up a handful of balloons and ran through the room towards the outside stairs at the end of the hall. Racing down them, she spotted Tavi below her, reading a book under the shade of an umbrella on the side patio.
Go quiet. Go quiet.
She snuck up as close as she dared then threw the balloon at his back. She didn’t want to get the book.
He jumped to his feet with a cry then turned towards her in shock. She took off, spotting Matek. She dived around him and then darted back to throw another balloon as Tavi raced towards her.
“Water fight!” Aric roared, coming around the corner with his water gun. Slime balls! She didn’t know he’d brought that with him. She turned with a squeal and raced around the house, heading towards the beach. With a gasp, she turned back, spotting Tavi and Aric racing towards her.
Suddenly, she found herself in the air, her water balloons went flying out of her hands. She fell onto the sand with an oomph.
Damn it, tripped up by her own feet.
Then she was flipped over. Aric grabbed her arms, holding them above her head, while Tavi sat on her legs.
“Let me go! Let me go! Somebody, save me.”
The sun was blocked out as a stern face entered her vision. “Hello, tamiya.”
“Daddy K, save me, please.” She wiggled in their hold, giggling. “This isn’t fair!”
“Not fair, huh?”
“Yep.”
“Like walking out to go for a swim and getting pelted with water balloons? That sort of not fair?”
“That was just fun, Daddy.”
“Hm, let’s see how fun it is.” He held up two of her water balloons, right over her.
“No, Daddy K! Don’t!”
One landed on her stomach and she squealed at the cold water hitting her. It soaked through the cover-up she was wearing over her bikini. Aric had packed only bikinis, tiny dresses and cover-ups for her on this trip. That was the last time she let him pack.
He moved the other balloon over her face.
“No, Daddy, no,” she begged.
Suddenly, he turned away and she breathed out a sigh. “Bring her with you.”
Aric and Tavi let her go then Aric picked her up, throwing her over his shoulder. She let out a scream of outrage as something hit her ass then water exploded over her bottom.
“Daddy K!” she complained.
“You’re right. That was fun,” Kassim commented.
Sheesh!
* * *
Matek sat on the huge sectional and waited for them to return. While his leg was healing well, he still couldn’t run.
But he was happy to wait back here since he knew what was happening next.
They were all going to take her together. Kassim included.
Kassim walked into the living groom first and when he saw what Matek had on the couch next to him, he nodded.
“Aric, set her down,” he commanded. Walking up to her as Aric steadied her, he grabbed her chin. “Now, tamiya, you’ve been a very naughty girl, throwing water balloons at us and using Matek as a shield.”
She pouted. She was gorgeous. Matek couldn’t believe they were lucky enough to have her in their lives.
“You’re going to have to pay penance for your actions.”
“Penance? What sort of penance?” she asked.
“First of all, you’re going to strip,” Kassim commanded. “Then you’re going to suck Matek’s cock while Tavi licks your pussy and Aric plugs your ass.”
Oh, hell, yes.
Matek quickly took off his shorts, which was the only thing he was wearing. No need for much clothing when they were the only ones here.
Pippa grinned over at him. “Someone’s eager.”
“Take your clothes off,” he demanded. His breathing sped up as she stripped. She was gorgeous. Pale, creamy skin, all curves and softness.
“Get over here, minx,” he commanded, running his hand up and down his shaft. She knelt between his legs and swirled her tongue around his dick, playing with his piercing while she stared up at him.
“Yes.”
“Spread your legs wide, tamiya,” Kassim commanded. “Aric is going to plug you then you’ll sit on Tavi’s face.”
Aric was already getting the plug ready. He crouched behind her. Matek couldn’t see what he was doing, but he heard her gasp and guessed he was thrusting his fingers into her ass.
“Here comes the plug,” Aric told her cheerfully. “Deep breath in. Let it out slowly. That’s it. Good girl.”
Matek placed his hand on the back of her head, gently guiding her when she paused to adjust to the feel of the plug.
Aric slapped her ass. “Cannot wait to take this ass.”
“Spread your legs wider,” Kassim commanded her. “Tavi get down there and lick her pussy until she is screaming. No coming without permission, tamiya.”
She groaned around Matek’s dick as Tavi got into position and pulled her down to his mouth. Matek let out a sigh of satisfaction as she sucked on him. Fuck. Felt so good. But he wanted more.
“Very nice.” Kassim knelt on one side while Aric ran his hand up and down her back and ass. “Now, you’re going to let Matek go. I’m going to position you over him so you can fuck him. Understand?”
“Yes, Sir,” she said, moving her mouth away from Matek’s cock.
Matek held one hand while Kassim grabbed hold of the other. When she was kneeling over his lap, he reached down to grasp hold of his dick, guiding it into her pussy.
Sweet. Merciful. Heaven.
Pippa gasped as she adjusted to Matek’s girth. He was thick and long. Luckily, she was already wet from Tavi licking her pussy. The plug in her ass shifted and she felt it being tugged on.
“Shh, Poppet. Just playing.”
She wasn’t so sure she could manage something in her ass as well as Matek in her pussy.
“Easy, tamiya. Just concentrate on Matek. Good girl. That’s it. Take him in deep. Well done.”
It was a little odd having them all watch while she fucked Matek. But then Tavi moved in on her other side and took a nipple into his mouth. Aric was behind her, driving the plug in and out of her ass while Kassim spoke to her in that calm voice that told her she was safe. That nothing bad would ever happen.
As predicted, they’d been very overprotective since she was threatened by Adele with a gun. Before leaving for the island, she’d been lucky to go to the bathroom on her own. But things had eased at the island.
“Fuck. Fuck, I’m not going to last,” Matek said. He reached down to play with her clit and she groaned. “Come with me, baby.”
She felt her arousal growing higher and higher. She wanted to slam down on his cock, but didn’t want to hurt him so she kept her movements as gentle as she could.
“So good. You feel so good,” he told her, moving his finger faster until she felt herself crashing with a scream. Then a deep roar drowned out her scream as Matek came.
She slumped against his chest, careful to keep her weight on her legs as he breathed in heavily, wrapping his arms around her. His cock slid free from her as he held her, whispering to her quietly about how beautiful she was, how amazing, how he’d be lost without her. Graduall
y, she managed to move, leaning back, she kissed him gently.
“I love you, Matek.”
“Love you, baby.”
“Come here, tamiya,” Kassim said, carefully helping her off Matek’s lap and pulling her onto his. “You okay?”
“Better than okay. I feel like I’m floating.”
“Hear that?” Matek gloated. “My dick made her float.”
“Your dick usually sends people running for the hills,” Aric said with a grin, dodging Matek’s hand as it flung out towards his head.
“I think your dick is very pretty, Matty,” she told him.
Matek groaned as Tavi and Aric started teasing him.
“Ready to take things further?” Kassim asked her quietly. “You can say no. At any time.”
She clenched down around the plug in her ass in excitement. “I’m ready. But . . .”
“What?”
“Are you staying? I thought you didn’t like to share like this.”
He nodded. “Most of the time, I’ll want you to myself. But I’d like to stay this time. Besides, these idiots need me to coordinate them.”
“Hey,” Aric and Tavi protested together, making her giggle.
“If you’re sure?” Kassim questioned.
“I’m sure. I want you all.”
“Let’s move this into the bedroom then.”
* * *
Aric was buzzing.
Fuck, their girl was amazing. Gorgeous, capable, and brave. He still didn’t believe she was theirs but he’d do whatever he needed to in order to keep her.
She’d scared years off their lives when they’d heard that Adele had a gun on her. But Caleb and the others had easily overpowered the crazy bitch, bringing her down.
Still, his heart had stopped, seeing her scared face staring out at them from the panic room. Thank fuck Matek had insisted on those.
But this wasn’t the time to think about that. Now was the time to bring pleasure to their girl. Tavi was lying in the middle of the huge bed in the master bedroom. And their girl was riding him, small noises of pleasure escaping from her mouth. Matek sat next to Tavi and she leaned over and grabbed his dick, pumping it.
