“Then fuck me, Blue, or find out.” She giggles. She knows exactly what I am going to do, so she has no worries about me actually calling her bluff.

The doorknob jiggles, and I hear the distinct beeping that indicates that the thumbprint reader is denying access to whoever is trying to enter my room. “What. The. Fuck.” I hear Demitri yell from the other side of the door, and Nyx sits straight up in bed and laughs.

“Go away.” I call out to him. Nyx slaps me playfully on the shoulder. “What? Do you want me to let him in?” I ask her quietly so Demitri isn’t able to hear.

“Captain Montgomery is downstairs. He wants to see Nyx.” Demetri calls through the door, and her eyes bug out of her head.

“Fuck, did someone tell him I was missing?” Her face is in complete shock.

“Yes, we had to call him a few days after you were missing because you had to go back to work. I wasn’t letting you lose your job over this. If you decide to quit working, that is your decision. I wasn’t going to let douche canoe decide it for you.”

She bursts out laughing and slides to the floor. “Douche canoe.” She has tears running down her face from laughing. “Did you really just call Nick a douche canoe?” She spits out between laughs. Finally able to compose herself, she walks into my closet, snatches a hoodie off the hanger and walks back out, taking her hair out and fixing it to look less just fucked. “Guess your cock can stay in your pants a little longer.” She pats the front of my pants like my dick is a puppy. She has gotten quite playful since the kidnapping. I just hope this isn't her trying to brush off her trauma.

I reach down my shorts to adjust my cock, hopefully Cap won’t notice the hard-on I am rocking, and head for my closet. When I woke up this morning and Nyx wasn’t in bed, I went on a search for her. Not bothering to put on a shirt or anything otherthan snagging my basketball shorts off the floor. The only people who should be in the house are my brother, who's seen me naked more times than I would like to remember, and Kyra. She should be able to handle seeing me shirtless.

As I walk out of the closet, Nyx opens the door to an angry-faced Demitri. She stands up, on her tippy toes, wraps her hands around his neck and gives him a long, hot, passionate kiss. “Next time you can join us.” Breaking the kiss, she says quietly enough that only the three of us can hear. “I needed to make sure I could still enjoy being touched.” She jumps into his arms and wraps her arms and legs around him like a koala bear.

“My beautiful Little Fox, I am not carrying you downstairs like this. You have no panties on, and no one else in this house needs to see you.” He peels her off of his body with a smile before kissing the top of her head and snuggling her into the space under his arm and we walk as a happy family down to the breakfast nook, me following closely behind with a huge smile on my face.

My heart is complete again.

CHAPTER 57

DEMITRI

It’s been a little over a week since we rescued the girls. Bill stopped by the day after we got back, just to do a quick check-in on Nyx. He told her he didn’t want to see her back at the station until after the new year. He needed time to find her a new partner, since Jack has been MIA since just before she was taken. We have informed Bill, off the record, that Jack was related to Nick. Also that he was involved in the girl’s kidnapping and has been taken care of. To the rest of the world, he is missing, and the station is on the lookout for him.

The girls have spent a lot of time in the last week, curled up on the couch together watching rom-com movies. Callum has been at their beck and call. I know he’s doing it more for Kyra’s benefit, but Graham and myself have been busy trying to get the business back in order. Everything fell apart while Nyx was gone. There was nothing being completed outside of surviving and finding all the information we could.

We have been in non-stop meetings with clients and businesses whose contracts have been pushed aside, trying to kiss ass and appease them. Cal is going to be joining the teamonce we feel safe enough to leave the girls alone. Right now his job is to bring a level of comfort for us and them alike.

Now that everything feels back to normal, or at least as normal as it can, today is Thanksgiving. The entire gang is coming over today for dinner. David, Jason, and Alyra are coming from Devil Dogs. Usually, Bill and Cathy have Nyx over for the holiday’s but they understand that Nyx does not feel comfortable leaving the safety bubble we have built here for her. The only people coming are the people closest to us. Graham’s family will probably stop by for a little bit. And, well, my family hasn’t talked to me much in years. They blame me for not coming home as soon as they found Stasi’s body. As if picking up and leaving a deployment is as easy as coming home from vacation early.

After going through my to-do list for this morning in my head, I roll over and wrap my arms around Nyx. Nuzzling my face into the space between her neck and shoulder, inhaling her scent. She sleepily snuggles back against me. Her head is currently resting on Graham’s chest, but I wrap my arm around her waist and drag her over to me.

“Good morning, Sweet Girl.” I whisper in her ear.

“I don’t know how sweet I am, Dee.” She smirks while rolling over to run her hand down my chest. “Do you want me to show you how bad I can be?”

I will say this about Nyx, after she returns, she is definitely not hiding herself from us. She is not the shy girl that she was before she was taken. I have to hope that she realizes how lucky she was to have us on her side and is not denying her attraction anymore.

“Little Fox, I have to go downstairs and get things going for dinner.”

She lets out the cutest huff before rolling back over to try and snuggle into Graham again. Before she can make it across thegiant bed, I grab her and bring her back to me. Peppering her neck with kisses and nips, she squirms and giggles. I know my beard is tickling her neck.

She pulls away from my grasp and stares directly into my soul before her lips crash into mine. She was very concerned about being able to handle our touches after everything. I have not noticed her hesitating at all, and she is always initiating touches and kissing. She rolls me over onto my back to climb on top, taking over the kiss.

“Well, good morning, you two.” Graham groans out and Nyx grinds down on my lap.

Fuck me. I need to get up before this turns into the whole morning. Who the fuck am I right now? I have never been the type to turn down sex to go cook a huge family meal. I pull Nyx off my lap, sitting her down on the bed between Graham and I. Nyx lets out a huff knowing that I am not giving in to her advances right now.

“I am going to go make some breakfast.” I quickly climb out of bed and grab my t-shirt before leaving the bedroom while arranging my dick in my shorts. This girl will be the death of my productivity. On my way down the stairs, I hear her let out a loud porn-like moan, just trying to tease me. I roll my eyes and head for the kitchen.

I can hear laughter coming from the dining room. We have never used this room, but with the huge group of us, Nyx decided it was the best time to use the dining room. I am in the kitchen finishing up the last few touches on dinner. Nyx is playing theperfect host, helping me to haul things out to the table and making sure that our guests have everything they could need.

Walking to the table with a platter full of turkey in my hands, I join all my friends in the dining room. They are full of chatter about anything and everything. Multiple conversations being had throughout the room. David, Jason, and Cal are talking about the Lion’s game from this afternoon. Aly, Nyx, and Kyra have become the cutest little trio since their rescue. It sounds like they are talking about the latest trashy reality TV show they are all watching together. Bill and Cathy are just sitting back watching everything happening. His face today is nothing like the hard police captain's face we normally deal with.

“Dinner is served.” I talk just loud enough to be heard over all the voices. Everyone settles in and starts filling their plates. Dinner has all the fixings. Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and we cannot forget the sweet potatoes. Bottles of wine line the table in various levels of emptiness. Everyone starts to dig in and passes dishes to one another.
