Shattered Girl (Emmy) novel Chapter 24

Shattered Girl
Chapter 24
I was happily sandwiched between Drew and Mike; I sat back, enjoying watching the four brothers interact. They joked, talking about things that happened on the base overseas. I was daydreaming about what it would be like to have all four of the guys home when I heard Jake say my name. Focusing on my surroundings again, I apologized for not hearing what he said.
“Don’t apologize, sweetheart; I just asked what sounds good to eat.” Jake twisted around so he could look at us.
“Oh, I’m not picky. Let these two pick; I’m sure they missed something while overseas.” Seconds after the words left my mouth, I realized the sexual innuendos that implied. I turned bright red, and four sets of eyes focused on me.
“Food! I meant Food!” I was so embarrassed I don’t think I will ever be able to look any of them in the eyes again.
“Well, I know something I would like to eat, baby girl,” Josh said, watching me through the rearview mirror. Wow, I didn’t think my face could get any redder, but it did, and then my brain helpfully began adding images of the different things josh could have meant by that. I groaned and covered my face with my hands, trying to decide if I wanted to die of embarrassment or jump one of them and live out the fantasies running through my head.
“OK, guys, that’s enough,” Drew said, wrapping an
an arm around my shoulders and pulling me to him. Don’t let them get to you, princess, they can be **ometimes.” Drew stage whispered to me.
“Hey, not we aren’t,” The other three interjected. I gizzled at the disgruntled look on the guy’s faces. Then I began laughing when they all ..started talking over each other, promising they weren’t like that.
Shaking my head, I addressed the whole car. “Guys, relax. I don’t think any of you are a** you have gone out of your way
to take care of me and make sure I was comfortable. I know how good you guys are. Now, what are we going to eat?” The last was directed at Mike and Drew, and I waited for their answer.
After some debate and several heated rounds of rock paper scissors, Mike won and decided on a local family-owned dinner they had been eating at for years. Jake pulled up the dinner menu online and placed the order. Thirty minutes, Jake said as he locked his phone.
It was perfect timing because we hit rush hour traffic, and when we were pulling into the dinner, Jake got a text message saying our order was ready. He and Drew went inside to get everything. While they were gone, Mike took my hand and squeezed it.
“Honey, are you doing ok?” Mike cupped my face with his hand, turning my head until I saw him in the eyes, I smiled gently and nodded yes.” It was killing both of us that we couldn’t be there to help you through everything. I’m glad Jake and Josh were, though.”
“Me too; I don’t know what would have happened if I had been released from the hospital and Clint and my mom were the only ones there.” I shivered at the thought. Knowing I would have been entirely on my own.
“Well, honey, you have us all now.” Mike continued, rubbing his thumb across my cheek and lower lip. I was so focused on him the rest of the world just faded away.” Can I kiss you, honey?” He asked softly. I nurmured my consent, and he leaned toward me, his lips pressing gently against mine. I groaned and gently bit his lower lip. I was causing Mike to kiss me deeper. Finally pulling back, he kissed my forehead and whispered, “Good girl” in my ear. I glanced up and saw Josh grinning at me; I stuck my tongue out of him, then hid my face against Mike’s neck when I heard the click of Josh’s seatbelt releasing.
I squealed when I heard Josh’s door open and then close. Then the rear door opened, and the car dipped as he climbed next to me. attempted to climb into Mike’s lap; while laughing, he fended me off, tuning me so I was facing Josh.
*1 see we have a bit of a brat on our hands. Mike commented. I looked down; my hands suddenly became very interesting. I was hoping Josh wasn’t going to sp**k me. The last thing I wanted was Drew and Jake to come back and find me across Josh’s lap, pants around may hokles, getting my butt paddled.
Josh was facing me and reached out, tilting my chin until I was looking him in the eyes.
“Baby girl, haven’t we had this discussion already? He asked, with his dann eyebrow ***ked. I nodded my head. Then I cried out as Josh

ou about the lifestyle and dynamic we enjoy, right? So you know we are both dominant and want to care for you. Make sure all your needs are met, and one of those needs is discipline. As much as we love your bratty side, there will be consequences for that behavior, especially since you have already had this talk once.” I nodded, trying hard not to let my lip tremble or voice shake.
“Please, don’t sp** me; I don’t want Drew and Jake to come back and see me being punished,” I whispered.
“I understand, baby girl. Before anything happens, the three of us are going to sit down and have a talk about expectations and limits. But I am adding this to your punishment count. Besides, I already told you we weren’t doing anything until your ribs were healed..”
“Thank you, Josh,” I whispered. I rubbed my eyes, trying to make the tears go away, right as Jake and Drew got back with the food.
Jake gave his twin a curious look, and they did that silent twin thing again. Jake nodded and went to the driver’s side; Drew opened the passenger door, glancing at me, before passing Josh and Mike some of the food to hold on to. He turned and climbed into the front seat turning to look at me.
“Did you get in trouble already, princess?” Drew asked.
“Yeah,” I mumbled, sniffling a little.
“Well, I guess you are going to have to learn to behave because I think Jake is the only one who won’t be fine with paddling that cute a** of yours when you misbehave.”

What! All three of you like the same thing?”
“Four, princess, Patrick enjoys aspects of it too,” Drew smirked
“No, that’s not fair; I’m never going to be able to sit comfortably,” I pouted. All four guys laughed, but I refrained from sticking out my tongue again.
