CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX
RYKER
Ilay in bed, holding Penny tightly to me. She was softly crying when I took her away, but I didn’t want her to see the others hit Apollo too, it clearly upset her. But hearing what he said to her, and knowing I wasn’t there to soothe her at the time, it just gutted me.
We lay there for a while before I speak. “It’s okay, Penny, I’ve got you now. You’re never going to lose me again. In fact, you’re going to be so sick of me being around you all the time.”
“Impossible,” she whispers, making me smile.
“Will you give me a kiss?” She pulls her head away from my neck and kisses me gently. I stroke her hair and study her face. “I missed you so much. Watching you being ripped away from us like that, It killed me, it killed all of us. We’ve been freaking out, afraid of finding you dead.”
“I’m so sorry Ry, I know I keep throwing you into these bad situations.”
“No, Pen, don’t apologize for that, I love your sense of adventure, don’t change.
Just maybe be a little more… careful, hmm?
” She nods and I smile, giving her a soft kiss on her nose.
“Looks like everyone’s heading this way,” I tell her as I see the guys and the horses outside the cave.
It looks like they’ve decided not to tie up the horses, knowing they won’t want to leave the oasis, as they remove their saddles and reins and make their way into the cave.
I smile when I see Brax is still dripping wet, it’s just like him to ignore that.
But as he drops his pack, he sifts through it for dry clothes.
Indy comes in and sits down on the other side of Penny.
“Hey Sugar, how are you feeling?” She turns towards him, then glances around until she sees everyone is there, alive and well.
I can visibly see her shoulders relax when she answers, “I’m okay.”
“What the fuck?” Silver asks as he storms over, dropping to his knees beside Indy and gently grasping her wrist, holding her hand up. “What is this?” I sit up, frowning. Was that a bandage? Why hadn’t I noticed that?
He looks down before grabbing her other hand and seeing another bandage.
“And this? You guys should have told us straight away.” He gently places her hands down before moving to a seated position as he lifts his bag strap over his head.
He quickly pulls out his magical cream and places it on the bed before he starts to unbandage her hand.
Brax joins us, sitting at the base of the bed with his hand rubbing Penny’s calf, watching Silver work.
When he gets the first bandage off, we see her hand is all scraped up. “What happened here?” Silver asks.
“I was making rope for a hammock to sleep in. Working with fibers is hard on my hands, I guess.” We all turn to glare at Apollo, who throws his hands up in defense.
“I didn’t know!”
“Why did she need to make her own bed?” Brax grumbles.
“I told her to sleep in this one, I even picked her up and put her in it the first night, but she refused after that.”
“Where did you sleep?” I ask her.
She glances at me before biting her lip, her gaze returning to where Silver is applying the cream. “On the ground by the fire.”
“Apollo, what the fuck, man?” Indy asks.
“It’s not his fault, he’s telling the truth, he told me to take the bed, but I didn’t want to be a…”
“Burden,” I grit out through clenched teeth. She looks at me nervously and I try to release the tension. “I’m sorry, Penny, come here.” I move a leg so she’s sitting between mine and she leans back against me as I wrap my arms around her.
Indy starts unbandaging her other hand and we all gasp a little once we see her skin.
“It’s from the sandcrawler. Apollo stitched it up.”
I watch as Silver frowns at the wound. “He did a good job…”
“But?” she asks.
“But the cream won’t work with the stitches. We have to take them out.”
“Okay, you can take them out.”
“Sweetheart,” Silver says, looking up at her face. “It’s going to hurt, we have to pull them out.”
She keeps his gaze for a full ten seconds before she nods, like she’s come to some conclusion. “Okay. I’ll need a distraction then.”
“Want me to sing you a song?” I ask.
She laughs, turning her head to look at me. “Ry, I was thinking of something a lot more… distracting.”
“Oh… OH!” I say, suddenly clueing in to what she’s suggesting.
“Alright,” Indy says, standing up as he looks down at her. “Silver, go sit on the other side of the bed. Brax, you warm her up for me. Apollo, you sit up there and hold down her left arm so Silver can work without her jerking it around. If you behave, maybe she’ll let you join in next time.”
“What’s Ryker going to do while all this is going on?” Penny asks breathily.
Slowly, I slide my right hand down her body before moving it between us and squeezing her ass. “I’m going to do this,” I whisper, making her bite her lip in anticipation.
“It’s not going to take Silver long to get those stitches out, so men, we’ve got to move fast,” Indy instructs, making Penny laugh, that is until Brax throws the blanket off of her and dives in head first.
“Holy smokes!” she gasps, as his hands slide up her outer thighs, pushing her tunic up as he goes. I decide it has to go and reach down, pulling it all the way up and making sure her arms are still free to pull through.
Now it’s gone, she’s lying here, completely naked.
All the men settle around her doing their instructed jobs.
I see Silver trying not to look, but he can’t seem to help himself as his eyes keep darting to her body before moving back to her hand.
He hasn’t started yet, obviously waiting for her to be more distracted first.
I lean towards her ear and whisper, “Do you like it when he watches you, Red? Do you like him seeing you naked and ready? Do you like him watching while Brax eats your pussy?” She doesn’t answer, but her body squirms at my words, giving me the reaction I want.
Using my hand on her ass, I move a finger to her back entrance and start circling it before I press in, making her moan.
“Brax, switch places with me,” Indy commands. As Brax stands, I move my dick to rub through her soaking wet folds, covering myself in her juices before I lift her hips and align myself with her tight hole. Slowly, I press into her ass, pulling her down against me.
“Ry!” she gasps in pleasure.
“Fuck, Red, I missed this almost as much as I missed you.” Indy settles between her legs, running himself through her folds. I watch as his thumb flicks her clit and when she moans his name, he pulls back and sinks himself into her slowly, making all three of us groan.
“Fuck, Sugar, you’re so tight!” Indy gasps before he starts fucking her against me.
“Holy shit, are you both inside her, right now?” Apollo asks in disbelief.
I turn my face to him with a smirk. “Yep, and it feels so fucking good.” I place one hand on her stomach and the other moves to her right breast, where I start flicking her nipple.
Apollo watches my hand for a moment before he reaches up and mimics my movement on her other breast.
“Fuck!” she gasps, her hips thrusting back and forth between us. “Ow!”
“I’m sorry, Sweetheart, I’m going as fast as I can, guys, you better hurry up, make her come.
” There’s something about Silver’s words that feels less about her pain and more about her pleasure.
But either way, we all amp up our efforts.
I kiss her neck and Brax leans down to kiss her right as her body starts convulsing.
“That’s it, Sugar, come for us,” Indy commands, and she keeps coming and coming, triggering me and Indy to spill into her.
“Fuck, that was hot,” Apollo says, leaning back with wide eyes.
“You’re telling me,” she whispers, sinking further against me. Indy stands up and I pull her off me. She turns to Brax, asking, “Can I help you with that?” She points to the obvious bulge in his pants.
“No, Baby, you don’t need to do anything else, other than lie with me, okay?”
“If you’re sure?”
“I am. Let me see your hand.” As she passes it over, we all watch as the cream does the last of its work, completely erasing any trace of the injury.
“Wow, that stuff is pretty awesome. You guys don’t mind using something infused with… magic?” Apollo asks in surprise.
“No, if it can help Penny, then I don’t mind,” I say with a shrug. The others add their agreement, and I watch as Penny and Apollo exchange a knowing look.
He sighs and holds out the palm of his hand.
“Well, I guess since we will be spending a lot of time together in the future, there is something you should know.” He closes his hand so only his pointer finger is extended and moves it down Penny’s body until it’s about six inches above her pussy.
Then I watch in amazement as water flows straight from his fingers and through her folds before the stream moves through the air and out of the cave.
“What are you doing?” Brax asks with wide eyes.
“I’m cleaning her.”
“Holy shit, Apollo, I think you just found a new way for you to make me come without penetration!”
We all look at her in surprise.
“Really?” he asks. “You think you can come from the feeling of the water alone?
“If you touch the right spots with it, definitely.” She nods and I can hear it in her voice that she’s getting worked up again. I kind of want to see how this plays out, so even though she’s still lying against me, I don’t touch her with my hands and watch as Apollo uses his magic on her.
He holds one hand over her chest and opens his other hand up over her pussy.
Multiple strands of water pour from his fingers.
Several move in circles around her nipples, one seems to move so fast it almost cyclones against her clit, while another moves down to her folds, and if I was to guess, maybe rubs against her back entrance.
“Harder!” she begs, and I see the width of the water strand increase as the speed picks up. It doesn’t take her long before she’s screaming her release, without a single finger having touched her.
And when she finally comes down from her high, she stares up at him as she whispers, “Wow.”
He smirks before kissing her. “Yeah, wow.”
