Their Blue-Collar Girl (The American Soldier Collection 4)

“You three go with the sheriff and Jasper to make sure Lou and the women are all right,” Phil told them. Charlie, Trevor, and Dante headed toward that direction as Matt and his father went after the loose horses.

By the time Charlie, Dante, Trevor, Jasper, and the sheriff arrived at the house, Lou and Diana were up and standing by the front door.

“Is everything all right? What’s the matter?” Lou asked.

The sheriff filled them in as Maggie came down the stairs all worried.

“Lori’s not in her bed,” she exclaimed and the look of panic filled everyone’s faces.

“What do you mean she’s not there? Where could she be?” Charlie asked with concern.

“Let’s start looking for her. I’m sure she’s fine, Diana. My guys haven’t found anyone roaming out there or nearby,” J.R. said as he turned on his flashlight.

They all scattered out looking for Lori or any sign of the guy responsible for the night’s events.

“Where the hell could she be?” Trevor asked.

“Fuck if I know. Damn woman thinks she can walk around wherever she wants. We told her the other night about being safe,” Charlie barked.

“I swear she’d better be in one piece when we find her,” Dante added.

Lori didn’t hear a thing as she moved the saw back and forth across the cast, in the dim glow of her flashlight. The large hammer and chisel lay across the wooden worktable. She was planning on using them next.

Suddenly she heard the barn door open and a light appear.

“Lori, are you in here?” she heard Charlie yell and she wondered what he was doing there.

“Charlie, is that you?” she asked all surprised as he came running toward her.

“What the hell are you doing in here? Everyone’s looking for you!” He was yelling at her and the look on his face scared her.

“What are you talking about? I just came out here like twenty minutes ago.”

“Come with me!” he demanded as he grabbed her arm. He looked wild and she had no idea why he was there in the barn.

Angrily, Lori pulled away from him.

“Get off of me. What’s wrong with you?”

Trevor and Dante approached.

“You found her. Thank God,” Trevor said.

Instantly Charlie backed her up, pinning her against the table.

“Everyone is looking for you, someone let the horses out of the stable, left a message on my parents’ porch, and was seen headed this way. You weren’t in your bed, damn it! What the hell are you doing out here in the middle of the night? Are you really this naive, this oblivious to the dangers around here, what were you thinking!” He carried on and Lori couldn’t take it anymore. He was yelling at her like she was a child. That was exactly how he saw

her as she raised her hand to slap him.

Charlie was too fast as he grabbed her wrist then the other one, placing her arms behind her back. His body was against hers as she struggled unsuccessfully against his strength.

Then out of nowhere his lips were over hers. His tongue invaded her mouth shocking the hell out of her. At first she fought it then participated by returning the kisses. She felt just as wild as he was acting. His rage, the way he yelled at her and pissed her off, disappeared and was replaced with hunger. He released her wrists letting his hands grab her hips, her back, then her neck as he cradled her head and the kisses slowed down, were softer, gentler. She placed her hands against his chest and felt her whole body shake. His leg was wedged in between hers. He towered over her, so powerful, so in control.

She felt another hand wrap around her wrist as Charlie released her lips and stared at her. They were both breathing heavily. She looked to the right and there was Trevor. He looked just as wild as Charlie and appeared to be breathing heavy as well. She glanced to the left and there was Dante. He took her other wrist. Charlie remained holding her around her waist and she felt his thumb brush against her skin between the elastic of her shorts and her raised tank top.

The four of them were silent. No one said a word and she couldn’t move, but only feel. Trevor caressed her inner wrist with his thumb as he reached up with his free hand and touched her cheek and chin. Dante caressed her other arm slowly up and down, avoiding the cast. The fact that three men touched her in such a way brought her body to life. Her nipples pebbled, her pussy leaked as she tried to tighten her thighs together, but Charlie’s thigh remained wedged between hers.
