The next morning after the night with them in Dee’s bed I got a full tour of the house, including the guest house out back. Their house is massive for just the two of them but I know they are excited to have me there too.
Blue: I plead the fifth.
Me: That’s what I thought.
Me: What are you guys up to?
Blue: Moping around the house because our girl left us.
My heart does this weird fluttering, it is a sensation I am not used to, but I can’t say I hate it. We continue to exchangemessages filled with banter and adorable flirting. He manages to keep it pretty PG, surprisingly.
Not wanting to leave Dee out, I open a group chat with Graham, Demitri and myself.
Me: Good Night guys! Sleep well. Dream of me!
Demon: Good night, Little Fox! Sweet Dreams!
Blue: Good night, beautiful. Keep the panic button next to your bed. You hit it and the alarm will not only notify the cops but also us.
Me: It is already on my nightstand.
Blue: Good Girl. Night
I curl up in my bed, and Midnight sleeps on the pillow next to me. I fall asleep thinking about the two guys who want to keep me safe.
I’ve been spending the occasional night at the guys’ house, usually when I don’t have to work the next day. It’s been a week since the break in and I have been falling back into a familiar routine, just with two hot men that keep tabs on me. I am back at the precinct to finish up my last shift for a couple days when Cap walks up to me.
“When I put you on the roof with those boys, I didn’t expect you to start seeing one of them?”
“What are you talking about?” I haven’t told him that I am seeing the guys.
“The blonde one. What’s his name? Graham, I think it is. He is sitting out in the parking lot, said he’s waiting for you.” Damn him. I told him I would meet him at my place. I wasn’t ready to drop the bomb on Bill yet. Now I know I am going to get the third degree.
“Ya, Bill. His name is Graham, and I may actually be seeing them both.” His mouth falls slack, shock written all over his aged face. Years of being a cop before becoming our Captain took their toll.
“Nyx, what kind of rebellion is this? Your dad thought you joining the army was a rebellion against him, but this is a whole other level. Two guys?”
“Bill, I mean this with all the love in my heart, because you know I love you more than most people in my life. While you are my Captain, and I respect you at work, this is not something you get to lecture me on. They care for me, and I really like them. It’s nothing super serious yet, but I think it really can go somewhere, and I swear to you on my father’s grave, that it will not impact our ability to work with Devil Dog Security in the future.
“I am trusting you, Kid, to do what is best for you.” He wraps me up in a hug with a light kiss on the top of my head like my dad used to do, bringing a small tear to my eye. “This is un-conventional and you may be in for a fight to get the world to accept this, but I have your back. You have been smiling more since I put you on that roof. I haven’t seen smiles like this since before you found out Nick was cheating on you. While I may not understand it, my only goal is to keep you smiling like this all the time.” My heart warms knowing that he is accepting of everything for now. Granted, if these boys fuck anything up, they will have to answer to Cap.
“Thank you for all that you do for me, and I will warn the boys to be on their best behavior or face your wrath.” He releases me, and I run over to the locker room, pulling out my phone.
Me: Hey Blue! Cap said he saw you out in the parking lot. I thought I told you to meet me at the apartment?
Blue: I couldn’t wait to see my girl.
Me: You are the cutest pain in the ass. I’m getting changed out of my uniform quickly, then I’ll be out.
Running to the locker room to change out of my police uniform and grab my backpack out of my locker before making a swift exit. Saying goodbyes to everyone over my shoulder, as I practically run out of the building. I see him leaning up against his truck, arms crossed. It is almost just like Demitri’s, but it is a sapphire blue color. He hasn’t seen me outside yet, so I take a moment just to appreciate him leaning there.
He is in a leather jacket and dark-washed jeans, and a pair of worn leather boots round-out his look. Hair swept back in a perfect mess. I have been running my fingers through my hair all day, look.
His frame is massive, even against the lifted truck. Even my tallish five foot seven body must look tiny against his. He pulls his phone out of his pocket and starts typing something on the touchscreen. He sticks it back in his jacket pocket moments before my phone vibrates in the back pocket of my jeans.
Blue: Are you going to come over here and greet me properly, Little Witch? Or just keep staring.
Fuck, he didn’t even look at me. How did he know I was here. Making my way across the parking lot, his head finally turns in my direction with that sexy as fuck smirk on his face.
