Compromising Love (The American Soldier Collection 10)

Storm raised an eyebrow at her and she found herself walking toward him then stopping a foot or so in front of him.

“Closer,” he said firmly.

She swallowed hard and then stood only a few inches in front of him. She bowed her head.

“Look at me,” Storm said as the others surrounded her.

She tilted her head up and looked at Storm, then at Winter, then Weston and Zin and finally York.

“You belong to us. You’re our woman. As the woman, the wife to made men, there are certain responsibilities, rules that you need to abide by. The most important one is obeying your men’s commands so you remain out of danger. I understand your emotions and how you felt. Perhaps if we came forward sooner and expressed our love for you earlier, you wouldn’t have been so compelled to risk your neck for revenge against a mob boss.”

“She would have been too busy in bed with us to focus on anything else,” Zin stated.

“Her actions will not go unpunished.” Winter told her as he eyed her body over.

Why she was completely aroused right now she didn’t know. But thinking that her brother and his team were only inside the house a short distance away kind of killed her arousal. Well, maybe only a little.

“I accept whatever punishment my men feel is necessary. But just so you know, I would do it again because that’s how much I love all of you. We can save your territory. Together.”

“We don’t care about the territory in Chicago, Aspen. We were willing to give it all up for you and focus our attentions here in Texas, where things are more legit. We had already spoken with Dmitri,” Weston told her.

“Dmitri? Why?”

“Dmitri is family. He’ll be getting an earful from me soon enough,” Storm replied.

“Family? What do you mean?”

“He’s my cousin,” Storm said.

“So that’s why he’s been so helpful. He’s been keeping an eye on me, too.”

Zin pulled her into his arms and held her close, placing his hands over her ass cheeks.

“He’ll be reprimanded for that, too. No more private meetings or phone conversations with our wife,” Zin told her.

“Wife? What are you talking about?” she asked, feeling excited and hopeful.

“We’re getting married. As soon as this is over,” Winter said.

“Yeah, we’re never going to leave your side, Aspen. Since you’re okay with the fact that we have some illegal businesses as well as legal ones, then you won’t mind the fact that you need security at all times,” Weston told her.

“Since you’re so good at ditching the guards we used before, we’re going to personally be your bodyguards,” York said, and the others smiled.

Winter pulled her into his arms next. “Tonight, after your brother and his team leave, you’re going to get your first punishment.” He squeezed her ass then gave it a light smack.

“Winter.” She gasped and he kissed her deeply.

“Let’s get inside and work out some plans. We need to make sure that India is transported to a safe location and not followed,” Storm said.

“I’m going to get him back for hurting India,” Aspen said aloud, and then Zin stopped her and they all looked at her with firm expressions.

She smiled and hugged Zin’s arm as she started walking again. “We’re going to get him back for that.”

“I think someone is going to have a very sore ass tomorrow,” Weston said. They all agreed and chuckled, but Aspen widened her eyes and wondered just how serious the men really were.

India could hardly keep her eyes open. Her one eye was so sore. Her lips hurt where she couldn’t talk. She felt aches and pains everywhere.
