We finish up our lunch, pay our tabs and head out the door for a fun afternoon with my girls.
CHAPTER 59
NYX
“Honey, I’m home!” I call out into the house while dropping the bags in my hands onto the entryway floor.
Before I am able to make my way further into the house, I hear a set of footsteps running through the house. Before I can brace myself for impact, I am scooped off my feet and twirled around in their arms. I can feel my body go tense just moments before the scent of cedar and my Blue meets my nose, and I loosen in his grasp.
“Little Witch, I have missed you.” While I can't see his face, since I’m tucked into his neck, I can hear the smile in his tone.
“Graham, I have only been gone for the afternoon.”
“Ya, well Demitri has had us in never-ending meetings, and all I wanted was to come home and bury myself in you.” His words bring an instant flush to my cheeks. While we have never been shy when it comes to sex, he is usually not this brazen. “Then I came home and forgot you weren’t here yet.”
“Graham, will you put our girlfriend down?” Demitri’s deep voice echoes through the foyer. “You know we need to do something before either of us can do anything to her.”
Graham sets me gently back on my feet before I turn to give Dee a very confusing look. I go to pick up my shopping bags to take up to the bedroom, but Graham is already grabbing them.
“Come, Little Fox.” Dee takes my hand and leads me up the stairs. “Did you have a good day, Beautiful?”
The look on his face is soft and loving, but I have this dark, ominous feeling settling deep in my gut.What in the world could he need me for?
“Yes, it was an amazing day. I really love spending time with Aly, and you already know that Kyra is my platonic soulmate.” As we come to their office, he runs the biometric scanner to give us access to the room, and I am even more confused and concerned than before.
“Have a seat, Babe. We will wait for Graham to finish dropping off your bags.” He leans back in his oversized office chair, his legs spread. You know the pose, the one that looks like his balls are too big to be contained. He doesn’t look upset or angry. He is just there, like a king on his throne.
“Any hint of what we are doing, Demon?” I give him my best puppy dog face and most innocent smile. “Whatever it is, I didn’t do it.”
He just chuckles as I hear the mechanism unlocking the office door again and in walks my Norse God. Graham stands in the doorway for a moment, just taking in the look on my face and Dee sitting at his desk like he is the principal and I have been a very naughty girl.
“Oh, Little Witch, what do we have going on here? Why does it look like Dee wants to put you over his knee?” Graham’s laugh is much darker than normal.
“I have no idea what the hell is going on, Graham. He led me into the office and sat down in his chair like he runs the damn world-“
”Oh, Baby Girl, I do run your world. Well, Graham and I.” Demitri cuts me off with a smirk that could melt the panties off a nun.
“Y’all are up to some shit. I don’t know what, but something.” I look between the two of them. They keep giving each other these looks like they can speak without words.
”Dee, knock it off. You are probably terrifying her.” Graham walks over to his desk and unlocks his desk drawer, pulling out a small silver case, no bigger than a pencil case.
“Fine, I was having fun with her.” Demitri smiles gently at me. “So, what we wanted to talk to you about is on Thanksgiving you said you were willing to have a tracker inserted. Is that something you are still open to?”
”If it will make you both feel better about me leaving the house without you, I am willing to do it. It can’t hurt that badly, can it?” I can hear my voice quiver slightly. While I am not afraid of needles, I can’t say I’m excited to be getting stabbed tonight.
“Yes, Little Witch. It will make you much easier to track, and it will also give us your basic vitals.” Graham, my little hacker boy, pulls out the smallest little device ever. It is no bigger than a grain of rice. It is metallic and clear, what I assume is glass or plastic. Next to the chip, there is an all-white syringe with a very large gauge needle at the end. My heart starts to pound so hard it is all I can hear in my ears. I feel a large hand rest on my shoulder, and it startles me out of my panic. Looking behind me, Dee is there with a concerned look on his face.
“Little Fox, I need you to take a couple deep breaths with me.” He takes an over exaggerated deep breath in, and I follow suit, inhaling for a count of four. We proceed to hold the breath in for a few seconds before slowly breathing out. “Let’s do that one more time.”
I can feel my heart rate slowing, and I am gaining control over myself again. He comes around the chair to kneel in front ofme, close enough to be able to reach out to grab my cheeks. His warm, rough hands bring me a peace that I have only been able to feel with the two men in this room. Demitri’s dark eyes lock on mine, and he places a soft kiss on my lips. He breaks the kiss and places his palms on my knees.
“We do not need to do this. It obviously is petrifying for you-,” I cut Demitri off before he finished his thought.
“It is not petrifying. Nick drugged us with a needle to the neck, and that…” I gesture to the box containing the device. “Just reminding me of the moment I couldn’t protect Kyra.”
Graham stands from his desk chair and comes around to join Demitri, who stands in front of me. The two of them towering over me, sitting in this chair. “Baby girl, we can do this another day. Or we have the option to get it done and over with, and I promise to take your mind off the pain later.” His smirk tells me exactly how he plans to take my mind off it.
“Okay.” I give both of my guys a smile. Graham takes my hand to help me up out of the chair, and he leads me to his desk.
