“Get the popcorn! It’s going down,” Amber yells at her and Avery comes bursting through the door. I shake my head, grab the large bowl of popcorn from the table and head toward the living room. I find them both staring out the window. Obviously the show has already started.

“Just watching Ankle Spanker be all manly makes me horny,” Avery says as she rubs her legs together. Pushing my way between the two of them, I put the large bowl of popcorn into Avery’s hands.

“Bitch, breathing makes you horny.” Both girls nod their agreement before turning back toward the windows.

I look out and see Charlie saying something to Jimmy as he steps in between him and Javier. I can see the anger whirling around Jimmy and Justin in waves, I hope Javier doesn’t say something stupid. Javier looks up at the window and winks, making me shrink back behind a curtain. I hate feeling this way like he will jump out of the shadows and pull me back into his claws. Jimmy calls out to Javier to get his attention before we hear two gunshots and then Javier howling in pain, the noise making me jump.

“Yup, there was no way that motherfucker was getting out of here without bleeding,” Amber says before Avery grips her by her neck and crushes her lips to hers. I honestly have no desire to watch those two make out again, I need to make sure my brother and Jimmy are alright. I run to the front door as it swings open and all three men come piling in. I jump into Jimmy’s arms, wrapping my arms and legs around him in a crushing hug.

“Damn, if this is the welcome I get when I leave. I need to do it more often,” he chuckles before placing me down on my feet.

I take a step back before smacking him in the chest. “What the hell is wrong with you!? He could have killed you!” Fear turning to boiling rage, while everyone is staring over my shoulder.

I turn slowly to see Avery and Amber basically dry humping each other against the wall, Justin clears his throat in an attempt to get their attention. Avery pulls her lips from Amber and notices Charlie has come back. Her and Amber share a silent conversation before they saunter over to him, Amber whispers something in his ear before capturing his mouth with hers.

“You guys have your own place for this shit. I don’t need to watch you three going at it. Get the fuck out,” Jimmy says as he grabs the door, holding the door open for them to exit.

“But Jimmy,” Avery whines as she grips Charlie’s hand, leading the three of them to the back of the apartment. “Nothing turns a girl on more than gunpowder, dead bodies, and Navy SEAL’s.”

“There aren’t any dead bodies,” I chime in, crossing my arms.

Avery shrugs her shoulder. “But there was gunpowder, and I have a Navy SEAL. Come back in a couple of hours.” With that, she slams the door to the bedroom and turns the lock.

Shaking my head, I turn back to Jimmy and Justin, tears starting to well up in my eyes, arms still wrapped around myself.

The two share a look before Justin wraps me in a hug. I sag into him, soaking up the comfort that can only come from my big brother.

“I was going to say I wanted you to come back to my place, but I can see Jimmy has this under control.”

Pushing out of his grasp, I stand my ground. “I may be your little sister, but I’m an adult. I choose to be here, and nothing you say will change that.”

Jimmy wraps an arm around my waist, pulling me against his chest. I feel the rumble in his chest as he starts speaking.

“She’s not just a plaything, I deeply care for her. I fought it as long and hard as I could, but I know without a doubt I need her. I respect your position, but she doesn’t need to be protected from me. I’ll put a bullet into anyone that tries to harm her. I already have, twice.”

A smile covers my face as I look up at him over my shoulder, I love him, which doesn’t scare me nearly as much as it should.

“I can see the difference between you and every other relationship she’s ever been a part of. You’re good for her, that much is obvious. But I’ll always be her protector. You fuck this up, you’ll deal with me. Understood?”

“Understood.”

They shake hands, and my heart soars, for once my brother is on board, and the man I’m involved with isn’t pissing himself, afraid of the big bad SEAL.

“I love you, Justin.”

“Love you too, Brat. Now, I believe I smelled pancakes when I came in…” he smirks at me as he heads toward the living room.

Rolling my eyes, Jimmy begins to chuckle as I head back to the kitchen. I better make enough for Avery, Amber, and Charlie too, Lord knows they will need it when they’re done.

Mixing up more batter for pancakes, Jimmy traps my hips between him and the counter with his body, sliding his hands up my legs under the shirt I’m wearing.

“Jimmy,” my voice is breathy and soft.

His beard prickles my skin and goosebumps erupt as he places gentle kisses on my neck.

“Open up for me, Little Bit.”

My legs spread and I suck my lip between my teeth to keep quiet when his fingers find my clit.

“Jimmy, my brother…” I moan in his ear, head thrown back onto his shoulder.

“I guess you’ll have to be quiet then.”

I whimper when he pushes his erection against my ass, wanting it deep inside of me.

“Shh baby, arch your back for me, let me in.”

Suddenly, my shirt is lifted, exposing my ass and his cock is probing at my entrance. Latching onto my shoulder with his teeth, his groan is muffled as he slides in, meeting no resistance from my dripping core.

Pushing against the counter, I meet his deep slow thrusts. My walls stretch to make room for him, the twinge of pain is exactly what I need. Over and over his cock rubs the magic spot, and the slight pain has me flying high with his hand covering my mouth to keep me quiet. Thrusting faster and harder, he chases his own ending and heightens my pleasure.

Jimmy cums, filling me with heat, his face buried in my neck.

He places a soft kiss against my neck while he pulls out of me and covers my ass once again with the shirt.

“As much as I enjoy seeing my cum dripping out of you, I don’t think your brother will appreciate it. You may want to put on pants,” Jimmy whispers against my ear.

“No shit, Sherlock,” I sass back, feeling his grin against my skin. “Get out of here so I can go clean up before making breakfast.”

Jimmy kisses the top of my head before moving away from me and heading back to the living room.

After I finish cleaning up in the bathroom, I hear my cell phone ringing in my room. It’s probably Katie, being the mom that she is, to check and make sure we’re all still alive and kicking. Without checking to see who it is, I answer.

“Yes, mom! Everyone is fine, the big bad wolf was scared away by the guys. Now, calm down. I’m sure all this worrying can’t be good for the babies.”

“The big bad wolf has come to collect, my dear,” Javier responds from the other end.

I instantly stop in my tracks. “Didn’t getting shot for a second time get it through your head to leave me the hell alone? I won’t talk, I just want to be left alone.” The urge to go running down the hall toward the kitchen overtakes me.

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you. We wouldn’t want your brother or your old man to have an unfortunate accident, now would we?”

“What the fuck are you talking about?”

“Eres mio!” Javier yells into the phone. “When will you understand that? Come to me puta, or you will regret it.”

I can’t help but laugh into the phone. “You realize that I’ve got some of the most deadly killing machines between you and me, what the hell makes you think I would come to you?”

I hear rustling on the other end of the phone and then a quiet, “Hello? Emma, please help me. I don’t know what’s going on, but he said that if you come, he will let me go.”

“Clay?” Tears begin to stream down my cheeks. He has my friend, I can’t let another person get hurt because of my bad decisions. Suddenly, Javier is back on the line, “Have you changed your mind yet?”

I take a deep breath before answering, “Tell me what you need me to do.”

After seeing that piece of shit on my property, I needed to make sure Emma was okay, I needed to feel her. If it had been just us, I would have fucked her against the front door, hard and fast. With Justin in the living room, absorbed with his phone, I knew I would have a few minutes alone with her in the kitchen.

She needed it too, to feel safe, protected, alive. Having her brother in the other room, only heightened both our pleasure. Knowing she was full of me when I left the kitchen, that she would have to walk past Justin smelling like me was just the icing on the cake.

Now that she’s here, I don’t want her out of arm’s reach. Part of me is afraid she’ll vanish, that this was all a fucked up dream. That girl is my dream, and I didn’t even know I was missing it until she burst into my life.

She said she likes a little pain, but I’ll never forget the bruises she had when I found her and every time I see any kind of mark on her perfect skin, it reminds me of what she’s endured.

I send a thanks to whatever God there is that she called me that night. She completes me, fills the hole in my soul that I didn’t know existed. Maybe they didn’t exist before her, maybe when I met her, my soul made a place for her.

Finally able to relax, I chuckle when Emma makes her way back toward us, even listening to the Tornado’s and Charlie can’t fuck up my good mood.

“Hey, I want a big ass breakfast, eggs, bacon, hash browns, the whole nine yards,” Justin says.

“Sounds good to me, I just have to run to the store, I’m sure those three will need the carbs when they’re finished,” Emma responds as she makes her way toward me. I expect to see a smile spread across her face, but her face is pale, tense. Wrong.

“Little Bit, what’s wrong?”

She doesn’t respond, just places a searing kiss on my lips before looking me in the eyes. “When I was lost you found me, if I ever get lost again you’ll come for me, right?”

I have no idea what she’s talking about, but this cryptic conversation isn’t sitting well with me. “Little Bit, no matter where you go I will follow, even into the fiery pits of hell.”

Placing one more kiss on my forehead, she goes over to her brother and gives him a hug. “Alright, I’m heading to the store for extra fixings, text me if you think of something else, alright? And hey, Jimmy?”

I turn toward the door. “Yea, Little Bit?”

“I love you,” she says, leaving me staring at the space where she used to be.

It takes a minute for what she said to sink in. She loves me?

Standing up, I head to the door, determined to catch her. I need to tell her that her feelings aren’t one-sided. The hallway is empty when I open the door. How is she already outside? Jogging down the steps, I see her reversing the truck out of its spot, but she stops when she sees me opening the door.

“Find me!” she yells out the window before driving off.

What the fuck?

Hurrying back upstairs, Charlie and the twins are waiting when I return.

“Where the hell is the food? I’m starving,” Avery hollers as she flops down on the couch.

“Emma just ran to the store for more food, they weren’t expecting all this company this morning,” Justin responds, but I’m still trying to wrap my head around what she said. Find her? Where the fuck is she going?

“You crazy people only eat bacon, I need to make sure she brings me some sausage and not that healthy shit she normally gets either,” Avery snarks as she begins to send a text.

We’re startled when we hear Emma’s phone go off in the kitchen.

My lungs begin to constrict, the puzzle pieces begin to fall into place as my mind races for a solution.

Amber comes out of the kitchen holding a note. “Jimmy, this was by her phone for you.” With shaking hands, I reach for the note and immediately crumple it throwing it across the room.

“What the fuck, Jimmy? Where is my sister?!” Justin yells.

“She’s gone. Javier has her. ”
