Ask Me No Questions (The American Soldier Collection 12)

“We’ll protect you and take things slow,” Memphis told her.

“We’re all here for you. We’ll all be yours, and you’ll belong to all of us,” Orlando said.

“Say yes, Cassidy. I want to get lost inside of you. I want to make you our woman,” Coast said next.

She nodded, and Cash smiled.

“Get her inside Coast. Memphis, Orlando, grab what we need,” Cash told them, and they all headed inside the house, closing and locking the door behind them.

When they made it to the bedroom, Cassidy was so aroused and nervous she was shaking. She couldn’t believe she was going to have sex with multiple men. Coast set her feet down on the rug. Cash gently helped her discard her blouse, kissing along her bare shoulders and then nuzzling his mouth against her neck. She shivered as his teeth and lips hit a sensitive spot just as Coast pushed her skirt and panties down. Coast held her hips, and she stepped from the skirt and panties as Cash lifted up her camisole, tossing it to the side, then unclipped her bra.

A moment later, she stood there naked in front of all of them.

“You’re perfect,” Stryker whispered from his place in the doorway.

She held his gaze and then looked at the others. Coast lowered to his knees.

“Scars from bullet wounds and a sexy Marine tattoo. Woman, you make it all look sexy,” Cash told her as he pressed his lips to the tattoo on her skin.

The Marine Corps symbol and the words Semper Fi were tattooed next to her hip bone. The scar underneath it was the size of a golf ball. He traced the scar on her belly with the tip of his thumb as Orlando and Memphis pulled off their shirts and got undressed. She could feel Cash undressing behind her, and then he was back again, his lips licking and kissing her skin on her shoulder where the other scar sat.

“We’ll take our time with you, Cass. Making love to five men is going to be amazing.”

“Four,” she heard someone say and then looked at Stryker, who had yet to fully enter the room. Although she didn’t know him like she knew the others, she understood that they were a team that shared everything, and that would include her. He was part of that team, and she and Stryker had shared a special bond and moment in the kitchen this morning. Something had changed.

“You’re part of this team, Stryker. Don’t be an ass and ruin this. We’ve waited for someone

like Cassidy to come along and become part of us,” Cash said to his brother.

“I can’t,” Stryker said, and she heard the emotion in his voice.

“I’m scared, too, Stryker,” she whispered.

His eyes widened, and he opened his mouth, but no words came out. It was as though he’d realized it would be a waste of breath to deny the feelings he was having. He stepped closer.

“Cassidy, you deserve perfection.”

She shook her head. “God knows I’m not perfect, Stryker, but I know what I feel. I’m scared to have sex with five men, soldiers I hardly know but feel closer to than any other people on this earth. It’s a risk I’m taking. I’m trying not to think about the trouble and the fears that will still be in my life even after we make love together. I want to feel more of what you all make me feel. I need you, too, Stryker. All of you, together as one.”

Stryker dropped the cane and walked toward her. Coast stepped out of the way, and Stryker stared at her body then held her gaze.

“You look like an angel,” he whispered to her. He placed his hand on her waist and stared down into her eyes. “I can’t make love to you. Not yet.”

She felt her chest tighten. “Why not?” she asked.

He reached up and teetered slightly as he pressed closer and cupped her cheeks.

“Because I haven’t even kissed you yet.” He lowered his mouth to hers and kissed her softly, sweetly, as if savoring her taste and the feel of her lips. It was erotic, sensual, and she gripped his sides and ran her hands up his waist and ribs as he deepened the kiss.

She felt him pressing her backward, and then he released her lips as she fell to the bed.

Painstakingly, he lowered to one knee, cringing but looking determined.

“Stryker, I—”

He shook his head and spread her thighs, and the feel of his thumbs grazing her cunt had her gasping. Then she felt his mouth on her pussy, and she was so aroused, so turned on, that she came against his mouth.
