A Force of Three [Elite Dragons 4] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) (16 page)

“I love you, too. I love you all so much,” she sobbed. “I was so scared I’d never see any of you again. I want to be with you.”

Linton’s arms tightened around her waist, and then he sat up, bringing her with him. “You want to come home with us?”

“Yes.” Nyssa swung her legs over the side of the bed and stood on shaky legs. She was a little dizzy, but other than that she felt fine.

“Oh no you don’t, baby.” Codi dropped a plastic bag to the floor and swept her up into his arms. “You aren’t allowed out of bed until the doc says so.”

Nyssa wrapped her arms around his neck and clung tight. The door to her room opened.

“Okay, you’re free to go, young lady. Just make sure you see your own doctor when you get home for another checkup and again to get those sutures out. And take all those men cluttering up my waiting room with you,” the doctor ordered with a good-natured smile.

“What men?” Nyssa asked, looking at Codi.

He leaned down and kissed her on the lips. “The rest of the team is in the waiting room.”

“They are?”

“Yeah, they wanted to make sure you were okay, and they want to thank you.”

“I didn’t do anything,” she whispered and nuzzled her face into his neck.

“Yes, you did, honey.” Linton rubbed her back. “You helped us complete our mission, and now we can fully retire.”

“Do you want a shower, darlin’?” Bryden kissed her neck.

“Yes! And then can we get out of here?” Nyssa’s shoulders slumped for a moment. She was going to have to go back to Butte and pack up her things, but she didn’t want to leave her men for a moment.

“What’s wrong, baby?”

“I have to go back home.”

“What for?” Bryden all but shouted.

“I have to get my things.”

“No, you don’t. We’ll get a company in to pack everything for you and ship it to our place.”

“Oh, but I can’t afford…”

“Consider it done, Nyssa.”

Nyssa looked over Codi’s shoulder at Coulter. She hadn’t even heard him enter the room.

“Thank you,” she whispered, tears of emotion in her eyes.

“It’s the least we could do, after what you did to help us.” Coulter looked at Codi. “How long are you going to be?”

“Give us fifteen minutes. Nyssa wants a shower, and then we can go.”

“Okay, we’ll be waiting.”

“You don’t have to…”

“Shh, darlin’. The rest of the team has already said it will be an honor to wait and travel with you.” Bryden smiled.

Tears leaked from Nyssa’s eyes and down her cheeks. She gave a slight sniff. “Thank you,” she said to Coulter. He gave her a smile and nod then left the room.

“Okay, little girl, let’s get you cleaned up so we can blow this Popsicle stand.” Codi carried her toward the bathroom.

“Shit, I don’t have any clothes.”

Linton bent down, picked the plastic bag up off the floor, and handed it to her. “Everything you’ll need is in there.”

“I can’t wait to meet Brooke, Janie, and Alicia. I hope they like me.”

“They’re gonna love you, baby.”

It took them eighteen hours of nonstop driving to travel from Creston, Canada, to the Elite Dragons Stud Farm. The men took turns driving. They stopped regularly in deference to Nyssa and her condition, but by the time Bryden turned the truck into the driveway of the farm, Nyssa was clearly exhausted. Everything she’d been through was catching up with her.

What pissed Bryden off the most was that she was still in pain. He and his brothers had had to force her to take Tylenol because she had some strange ideas about taking pain meds after she had been drugged. She was scared that the drugs had affected her liver and didn’t want to add to any problems, just in case.

Codi had collared Wolf to explain to her that there were no lasting effects to whatever she’d been given, but she still stubbornly refused. They’d managed to get her to take the medication a few times, but nowhere near enough. Bryden was at the end of his tether, and so were Codi and Linton. The first thing he was going to do was take her to the infirmary and get Wolf to give her a shot, even if he had to hold her down himself.

Bryden smiled when he saw Brooke, Janie, Alicia, Martha, and May waiting on the verandah along with their boss, Tony Sullivan. He looked over to Nyssa and noticed she seemed a little nervous. He reached for her hand.

“Don’t worry, darlin’. They are gonna love you.”

“Do you think so?”

“Of course they will, baby. You are going to fit right in.” Codi gave her a smile and then got out of the truck.

Bryden watched as the women greeted their men. He didn’t feel envy for his teammates now that they had Nyssa. His heart was so full of love for his woman that he wanted to pick her up, carry her over to their house, strip her naked, and show her how much she meant to him. But first there was the matter of her pain management. He got out of the truck and went around to help Nyssa, but Codi had already lifted her down.

Brooke finally finished greeting her husbands and walked toward them.

“Hi, you must be Nyssa. We’ve heard so much about you. I’ll bet you’re tired and hungry.” Brooke hooked arms with Nyssa. “Come on inside and we’ll get some coffee.”

“Are you…Brooke?”

“That would be me.” Brooke gave Nyssa a chagrined smile and then introduced her to the other women before leading her inside.

The women fussed over Nyssa. Bryden hadn’t doubted that she would fit right in, and he’d been right. By the time the vehicles and equipment were put away, the women were all chatting happily and laughing. But although she tried to hide it, he could see fine lines of pain around Nyssa’s mouth. Something had to change and now.

Bryden placed his mug of coffee on the table, walked over to Nyssa, and scooped her up into his arms.

“Hey, what are you doing?”

“You are going to the infirmary, little girl, and you are going to let Wolf give you a thorough check over.”

“Bryden, I don’t want…”

“Stop,” Codi commanded, startling Nyssa. She obviously hadn’t realized he and Linton were following.

“We let you have your way while we were traveling, but it stops right now, Nyssa. You are in pain and you are going to let Wolf help you.”

“You are such a control freak,” Nyssa muttered. Bryden didn’t think he and his brothers were supposed to have heard her, but with their enhanced hearing, they had.

“Yes, I am. Get used to it, baby.”

Nyssa sighed but didn’t put up a fight when Bryden placed her on the bed. Wolf entered the room and began to check her over. He unwrapped the bandages around her wrists to check for any infection, and then he took her temperature, blood pressure, and pulse.

“Where are you hurting the most, sweetheart?”

“Would you believe my ear?”

“Let me take a look.” Wolf peeled the small bandage away from her earlobe and drew in a breath. “No wonder you’re in pain. You’ve got a slight infection in the wound. I think maybe you got it wet when showering. I’m going to give you a local anesthetic, and then I have to remove the stitches and clean it. Then I’ll give you a shot of antibiotics and another one for the pain.”

“It’s not that bad,” Nyssa sighed. “It’s only throbbing a little.”

“Yeah.” Wolf grinned and winked at her. “And that would be why your face is so white you look like you’re about to pass out.”

Nyssa stuck her tongue out at Wolf, which caused them all to laugh.

“Lie on your side, sweetie. That way your head won’t move and I won’t hurt you.”

Wolf cleaned Nyssa’s ear, stitched her up, and gave her two more shots. By the time he was finished, even Bryden was squirming, but she hadn’t made a peep. Thank God for anesthetic.

Nyssa was yawning by the time he’d finished. Codi picked her up and carried her out. She was going to bed to rest, and she would just have to stay put until they thought she was feeling better.

Nyssa was feeling much better after having a good night’s sleep. She rolled over in bed and bumped into a hard, warm body. Lifting her head, she peered through sleep-bleary eyes.

“Morning, baby,” Codi said, his voice a little rough from sleep. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and pulled her against him. “How are you feeling?”

“I’m good. Thank you.” She kissed his lips. “I’m sorry I was so stubborn. If I had told Wolf about my ear and let him check me over, I might have improved sooner.”

“Don’t worry about it, darlin’.” Bryden wrapped an arm around her waist and nuzzled her neck from behind. “We’re just glad you’re recovering.”

“I am. Now I’m going to get a shower and explore. I didn’t get to see much last night.”

“Not so fast, honey.” Linton placed a hand on her hip. Nyssa looked down to the bottom of the bed. Linton was lying crossways at the end and he looked worried. “Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Yes. Thanks for caring.”

“Oh, we more than care, baby. We love you, but the next time you get stubborn I may just have to put you over my knee.” Codi reached down and lightly tapped her ass. “Come on, I’ll help you clean up.”

“I don’t need help.”

“Yes, you do. You can’t even use your hands, and I have to wrap them up so they don’t get wet. Don’t argue,” Codi said firmly.

He helped her up and into the shower after checking the temperature. As he washed her, his hands caressing all over her body, Nyssa’s breathing began to escalate. She wanted to make love with her men, but Codi had told her last night they wouldn’t until she was fully healed.

She couldn’t hold in a moan when he soaped her breasts and then he flicked his thumbs over her nipples.

“Lean back against the wall and spread your legs, baby.”

Nyssa did as told and then gasped when he cupped her pussy.

“Oh yeah, you’re nice and wet. Don’t move, baby.”

He slid his fingers through her folds and tapped her clit. Nyssa arched her hips, wanting a firmer touch to her sensitive little pearl.

“Stand still,” Codi ordered and then began to move his finger over her nub at a rapid pace. He leaned down and took her mouth, kissing her hungrily.

She sobbed into his mouth when he pushed a finger up inside her cunt and then began to rub her clit with his thumb. With the dual stimulation, it didn’t take her long to reach the precipice. She clutched his shoulders and screamed as climax washed over her. Her body shuddered and shook as her pussy clamped and released around his finger. Codi finally withdrew his hand when the last contraction faded.

“You are so fucking sexy. I love watching you come.”

Nyssa glanced down his body at his hard cock. She wanted to wrap her hands around him and bring him to climax, too, but she couldn’t use her hands much yet, and she didn’t want to put too much pressure on the stitches in her wrists. But she still had her mouth. She knelt down quickly and sucked the head of his cock into her mouth.

Codi groaned and threaded his fingers through her hair. “You don’t have to do that, baby.”

She released him with a pop. “I know, but I want to.”

His eyes heated even more, and he gave her a nod. She leaned in, opened her mouth wide, and took as much of him in as she could. Then she hollowed her cheeks and drew back over his length. When she had just the crown of him in her mouth, she swirled her tongue over the head and then laved the underside. Codi growled and then held her head lightly between his hands, being careful not to touch her sore ear.

“Don’t move, baby. Let me do it.”

She gave a slight nod and let him take control. He thrust his hips gently and began to slide his cock in and out of her mouth. Nyssa made sure to use her tongue on him and suctioned as he pulled back. His groans became louder and his hips pumped faster, but he didn’t give her too much and choke her. Codi’s thighs quivered, and as she prepared to swallow his cum, he pulled out with a roar and covered her breasts with his seed.

“Your mouth is fucking heaven, baby.”

“Why did you pull out?”

“I didn’t want you to have to swallow.”

“Okay, thanks, but next time let me have your cum, Codi. I want to taste you all.”

Codi helped her to her feet and rinsed her off. He kissed her hard and deep. “You are an amazing woman. I love you, Nyssa.”

“I love you, too.”

“Come on, let’s go and get breakfast.”

After they were dried and dressed, her men gave her a quick tour of their house and then led her out to the main house.

Nyssa was greeted by everyone as if she was a long-lost family member. Everyone asked after her health, and Martha insisted that she take a seat of honor. Before Nyssa knew it, she was sitting with a mug of coffee at the head of the table.

Alicia sat next to her and put her hand on Nyssa’s arm. “I just wanted to thank you in person.”

“Thank me? For what?”

“You brought my men back safely.” Alicia slid her hand to Nyssa’s and squeezed. “I was afraid they wouldn’t come back in time for the wedding or that one of them wouldn’t come back at all.”
