NYX
“Alright Guys! Let’s get this meeting started. We are still waiting for Hutch to show up, but Demitri is here. Demitri, do you want to introduce yourself to the rookies here?” Cap gets everyone's attention so we can get this started. I love being out on duty, but the planning is not what I would call fun.
“Hey everyone, my name is Demitri Meadows. I co-own Devil Dog Security with Graham Hutchinson, but everyone calls him Hutch. We partner with you guys when you need a little extra security or a specific skill set.” Demitri is a gorgeous hunk of man standing up in front of our group. Imagine tall, dark, and handsome but multiply it by like a thousand. Where the guy this morning looked like every Norse god known to man crafted him. The devil crafted Demitri himself. Chiseled jawline with just a hint of dark scruff, that I want ran between my thighs. Just a peek of ink coming up from his collar. He is in a dark gray henley, denim jeans and black combat boots. A girl's wet dream.
Shaking my head to clear that thought. I am at work, where in the actual fuck did that come from? Oh, that's right, it's been four damn years since anything other than B.O.B. has touched me. Since the day I found my friend in my bed with my fiancé,I have put all my energy into this job and the shelves of book boyfriends I have in my apartment. The morally gray men from my favorite romance novels didn’t sleep with your best friend and get her pregnant. Plus, guys nowadays don’t want a woman who doesn’t want or need a knight in shining armor to save them.
Snapping my focus back on Demitri talking. “...so if you guys have questions about what our role will be after the meeting or just want to chat, please come see me and Hutch. We will hang around the precinct for a bit after the meeting.”
Cap stands back up, and we start the actual meeting, when I see Mr. Sculpted by the Norse Gods rushing into the conference room with two cups of coffee in his hands. What in the actual fuck is today? I couldn’t wake my libido up for the life of me, and today of all days I have two polar opposite, delicious men charging into my life.
Cap goes over the plans for the first and second games this week. Most of the details are a blur in my mind because the only important details are the ones that are given to me directly. I will probably be on street duty with Jack, my usual partner, but I can definitely hope that Cap will give me something a little more important. I’ve been busting my ass to get in Cap’s good graces to get a damn promotion. He has always treated me like the daughter he and his wife never had, but sometimes that makes it even harder because he doesn’t want to just give me something. He makes me bust my ass for anything he gives me.
The conference room empties when I hear Cap shout over the roar of the room. “Hey Bennett, can you come here for a minute?” Looking through the crowd of blue swarming out of the conference room, I spot him standing with my book boyfriend daydreams. I wait for some of my fellow officers to clear the room and make my way to the three of them.
“Nyx, this is Demitri and Hutch. You are going to be working closely with these two over the next few days. I am putting you on the roof at Comerica. You will be on the corner of Adams and Brush Street, facing toward Ford Field. The guys will be with you with sniper rifles, watching for any threats from above. You are just going to be there as a police presence with them.”
“Oh, ya, some special position. Marine babysitter.” I know snapping at Cap is not going to win me any promotions, but damn, this was not what I was expecting. I was hoping to be assigned a squad leader position.
“Officer Bennett, you will not speak to me that way. Especially not in front of these men.” Oh, of course, he is only worried about how he will appear in front of Hutch and Demitri. “Second of all, this is a coveted position among officers, and ya’ll will be the eyes in the sky. You will hopefully see and eliminate any threats to the safety of everyone around Comerica. You are not these men’s babysitters, as they are not official Detroit City Police; they need to have an escort with them at all times.” I swear, if I could roll my eyes any harder, I could inspect the folds on the surface of my brain. “You will be an outstanding member of this team that I know you can be. Please behave and stow away the sass.”
“Yes, sir, I understand. What exactly does this ‘police escort’ entail?” I decide it is easier to play nice with Cap. I don’t want to ruin all the hard work I have put into the force over my lack of sex lately. We finish up the little side meeting before Cap takes his leave, and I am left standing here staring at these men.
CHAPTER 4
NYX
“Hey Nyx, Demitri and I want to go grab some lunch and talk about our plans. As our babysitter for the next few days, do you want to join us? Our treat?” A chuckle leaves his lips as he mentions that I am his babysitter. Who the fuck does this Norse God think he is asking me to lunch with that damn half smirk you only hear about in books? They are daydreams on legs.I mean I could go…wait a damn minute, Nixie, you aren’t going anywhere with them.
“I’m good, thanks. I gotta head home and…I don’t know, come up with some excuse. I need to wash my hair. I need to vacuum. Whatever makes you happy.” Flipping my midnight black hair over my shoulder, with a level of sass I didn’t know I had, and head towards the door before I feel a hand on my shoulder. Spinning around quickly enough that whoever just touched me is getting whipped in the face by my hair. Or would have if these men weren’t massive. I’m pretty sure my 5’7 frame only looks at their chests. They are easily over 6’5. My fists up ready to fight, I hate people touching me while I am unaware. Years in the army will do that to a woman. I spent six years in the army as an intelligence analyst.
My gaze rakes up his chest before my eyes meet the icy blues of Hutch. God, this man has got to be an angel sent to earth to make me sin. He smells of cedar, and something purely him. “Little Witch,” he speaks in a tone so soft and low that I’m sure Demitri can’t hear him. “Please come have lunch with us. Whatever you have to do cannot bethatimportant” I could stand here breathing him in forever.
I need space from him before I do something that will make working with the damn Devil Dog’s complicated. Taking a step back and shaking out the chills running down my spine. Nick didn’t even give me these damn feelings. Fuck the butterflies, I’m pretty sure the whole damn zoo has taken up residence in my stomach.
“Isaidno thank you, Hutch.” There is more vitriol in my voice than intended, but hopefully he gets the hint. I go to leave AGAIN, when a new scent envelopes me. Something spicy with a hint of smoke. Like someone threw cinnamon sticks in a campfire.Okay, these men can stop anytime now; a girl can only be so strong.
“Hey, Little Fox.” His finger lifts my chin so my hazel eyes meet his of the richest chocolate brown. “Please come to lunch; it’s an hour of your day.” His tone is low and sweet. “Please don’t make me carry you to one of our cars. I don’t think your captain would like that very much.” His sweetness melding into a deep almost growl.This is it, I am going to be a puddle by the end of this home stand.
I gather myself, making sure that my knees will not give out from under me. Stealing my spine and channeling my inner brat. “Lick my labia.” I whip around and leave the room as quickly as possible without drawing attention to myself.
I hear the conference room door slam open, and the distinct sound of boots chasing me down. “Fuck,” I hear growled moments before my world is turned upside down and I amlooking at an ass that was definitely sculpted by Michelangelo. “Little Fox, you made me show my hand in front of your entire department.” He talks so quietly that I am shocked I can hear him. There is a satisfied chuckle that comes from behind Demitri.
“So, Little Witch, are you regretting your life decisions yet?” I crane my neck to look at Hutch’s baby blues. “Demitri warned you what would happen. He always does exactly what he tells you he’s going to do.” That smirk appears with just a hint of evil lurking behind his eyes.What have I gotten myself into?
“Put me the fuck down, you overgrown brute.” I scream as we leave. I hear Hutch tell everyone in the building that everything is okay as he trails behind us. “WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW? YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS CONSIDERED KIDNAPPING AND I AM A POLICE OFFICER.”
“What are you going to do Little Fox, tell Cap?” He punctuates his question with a swat to my ass. “Good luck with that one; we have been working with him for years, and I’m pretty sure the entire station watched it happen. No one chased us down or tried to stop us.” Knowing the officers, we probably just walked past, they are hoping I get out of this slump. They all know I could use a good dicking, or fuck even a date. The click of a door opening can be heard before I am aggressively placed in the front seat. Righting myself and making sure the girls didn’t escape their confines after my upside down adventures, I glance around the vehicle.
This is definitely not a car. The interior of the vehicle is dark, with black nylon-like material covering the seats and a black dashboard with hints of chrome. Turning my head to check out the back, my jaw drops. It has to be at least a Super Crew F-150. The backseat is huge.I wonder what kind of activity could happen back there?Down girl, these two essentially just kidnapped you, and we are not attracted to this.
Are we?
No, I can’t afford to be.
While checking out the back seat, Hutch slides in and glances at me. “Blue, I cannot believe you would let this devil kidnap me like this.” I saturate my tone in adorable innocence.
“Blue?”
