Claim Me Hard (Bridgewater County 2)

She licked her lips and fiddled with the handle of her mug. “I talked to Dr. Murphy this morning.”

I saw Dec sit up straight, a new energy making him look like he might shoot out of his seat at any moment. “In all the fucking insanity, I forgot about that. And?”

And? I had no idea what they were talking about. Why did she need to see the doctor?

Her lips curved up in a grin. “And I could be the town’s next resident physician if I want the job. I wouldn’t have hospital privileges like he does, but I could get them.”

I’d heard that Dr. Murphy wanted to retire, but hadn’t thought much about it. Until now. My mouth fell open as the full meaning of that hit me. She wanted to stay here…with us. While we only had a small clinic in Bridgewater, she’d need to be able to admit patients who needed more serious care to nearby hospitals in Bozeman or Helena. I wasn’t up on the legalities behind a doctor moving to a different state to work, but I had a feeling it wasn’t impossible.

She turned to me and filled me in on what she’d apparently told Dec earlier. By the end he and I were both ready to jump out of our seats with excitement. “So you’re staying?” I asked. I had to hear her say the one word.

For a second she looked shy, her gaze flicking from the table to Dec and then to me. “Only if you two are sure that this—”

“We’re sure,” Dec said, not letting her finish. He grinned.

I got up out of my chair and came around to where she was sitting. Leaning over, I wrapped my arms around her from behind, my lips finding the sensitive spot on her neck that I knew made her shiver. Breathed in her scent. “Darlin’, there’s nothing that would make us happier. You’re ours—now and forever.”

She turned her head up to smile at me. She didn’t panic this time when I staked my claim. Our claim. “Then I guess I’d better tell Dr. Murphy I’m ready to start right away.”

Dec got out of his seat and came around to

the other side of Hannah. “Not so fast. I think the good doctor would understand if you need a few days—”

“A few weeks,” I clarified.

He grinned over at me. “A few weeks to recover.”

She turned from him to me. “Recover?”

“Mmm,” I murmured my agreement as I leaned down to nuzzle her neck, my hands skimming over her waist and hip making her wiggle in her seat. “I’m sure the doctor and Jessie will understand that your men will need some time to take care of you. After everything that happened, you deserve some TLC. Dr. Cole’s orders.”

Dec was already tugging on her hand, helping her out of the chair. “That TLC starts now, sweetheart.” He gave her ass a light slap that sent her in the direction of the stairs. “Now get on upstairs and into our bed.”

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

HANNAH

The stern sound of Declan’s voice as he ordered me upstairs was enough to make my panties wet. I was easy. I admitted it. But only with them. Maybe it was the rush of adrenaline from earlier, but I was trembling with anticipation as they followed me into the bedroom. Two big men were going to dominate and control me and I wanted it. After Brad, one would think I would avoid all men. The opposite seemed to be the case. I craved these two. Needed them.

I climbed up on the bed readily. I’d long since lost my embarrassment at how eager I was to feel them inside me. Flopping down on my back, I gripped the bedspread in my hands as I watched them come toward the bed, their eyes dark with desire and their cocks visibly straining against their jeans.

They were the ones for me. In this room, I felt safe. Protected. Cherished. Possessed. Perhaps they were obsessed with me, but with these two? I was fine with that. In fact, I was more than eager to see them give in to their obsession because I knew what it would bring me.

Pleasure.

Declan leaned over and started undoing the buttons of my uniform. I groaned.

His fingers stilled. “What?”

“This dress is man repellent. How can you want me in this hideous thing?”

He grinned then. “We don’t want you in it. I’m trying to get you out of it.”

I rolled my eyes as Cole came to my other side and lifted the hem of it so it was bunched up around my waist. “We’ll take you any way we can get you. Haven’t you figured that out by now, darlin’?”

I saw the uncertainty in his eyes.

“What?” I asked.
