Page 72 of Purgatory (Devil Dogs of the Apocalypse #1)

Cole gently nudges us apart and grasps my face tenderly.

“Beautiful, look at me. Hawk, do me a favor and check her for bites or cuts.” Hawk nods and lets his hands roam over the entire expanse of my flesh, raising goosebumps in their wake while Cole looks me deep in my eyes.

I know what he’s looking for so I stare right back at him, letting him know I’m safe.

“Her eyes are clear” Cole says, kissing me stupid before reluctantly pulling away.

Being especially thorough with their doctor roles, they start to relieve me of my clothes.

My shirt and pants come off simultaneously as Cole pulls up and Hawk pulls down.

Instantly, I’m almost completely naked before them while they’re still fully clothed.

It makes me feel extremely vulnerable under their gazes but also powerful as I see my men pause for a moment, taking in my partially nude form.

Their adoring looks sending shivers down my spine.

Before coming up, Hawk brushes his hands up the backs of my thighs and takes a nip out of my butt cheek making me jump in surprise right into Coles arms where he, in turn, buries his face in my neck, biting and licking me there.

When Jax is satisfied with the water, toiletries and my current state of undress, he takes my hand and pulls me away from Cole’s captivating arms, bringing me into the bathroom with him.

His fingers slowly caress every inch of my face before pressing a light kiss to my lips.

His eyes telling a tale of worry, relief, adoration and love.

He drops his hands to my bra, quickly unclasping it and tossing the offending piece of clothing on the ground where it belongs.

He then goes to my panties, taking a knee in front of me and slowly pulls the fabric down my legs.

His fingers follow the trail behind, making my thighs want to band together.

I almost lose my balance all together when he adds his mouth to the motion.

The feeling of his soft lips and his coarse facial hair on my skin creating heat low in my belly as I release a moan of satisfaction.

Of unabashed need for them. I can see his lips turn up slightly at that, relishing in the pleasure he’s providing.

I can’t take my eyes off of his lowering form as he raises his hand to the back of my knee and lifts one up, then the other, successfully removing the last scrap of fabric that covered my body.

Still on his knees, Jax lightly pushes me into the shower before Cole and Hawk move to my sides. It’s a tight squeeze but somehow, they make it work. It’s probably a good thing because after the events of yesterday, we could all probably use a decent wash.

Cole, being closest to the shelf housing the toiletries, grabs the body wash and pours some into Hawk and Jax’s outstretched hands.

Together, they lather my body, each focusing intently on a particular area.

Hawk immediately tends to my breasts and torso, taking extra care to caress and squeeze my breasts making me arch and moan at his touch.

Jax compounds my pleasure by focusing on my legs, bottom, and oh --- His fingers dance across the apex of my thighs, both cleaning and teasing me until I’m dizzy with arousal.

Cole, turns back around to grab the shampoo.

He pours some into his hand and begins to lather my hair, massaging my scalp.

Could a person have an orgasm from a scalp massage?

I’m going to be asking for him to do this every day, it feels so good.

They each take a tiny bit of time to wash themselves before returning their eager hands to me.

Jax remains where he is, kneeling at my feet in adoration the entire time, even as he cleaned himself.

When he’s done, he leans back onto his heals and slowly lifts his eyes to meet mine, taking in every dip, curve, nook and cranny I have to offer as I silently reveal myself completely to all of them once again.

“How did we get so lucky?” Jax breathes. The emotion behind his words creating a lump in my throat and butterflies in my heart.

“Who tempted the fates to bring us the most perfect specimen the entire universe could offer?” Cole says softly.

I lift my eyes to catch his. The intensity behind the statement palpable.

I can taste it like the smell of chocolate in the air.

Like his adoration is a specter, surrounding me and enveloping me in his love.

“How can we even say we were living before you came into our lives?” Hawk whispers firmly, standing tall behind his declaration.

A gasp falls from my lips as I take in each of my men.

Their eyes penetrating even my deepest, darkest voids and shining light on them.

They’re like a spotlight, ending eternal night and shaking the fabric of reality until it’s just me and them, the rest of the world not mattering.

I’m no longer alone, in the dark, wandering aimlessly through the desert that was my life.

I’m alive. More alive than I have been in a while.

More alive than, perhaps, I’ve ever been.

Because of them. It's all because of them.

I release a staggered breath, whispering the words meant just for them.

“How can I ?” I feel like the past was full of me just walking through a meager existence deaf, dumb and blind.

Carrying on day to day with mindless tasks and zero ambition.

I was already dead amongst the living even before the virus.

Sure, I tried to have a goal once everything went to shit, but I was just going through the motions.

Autopilot. Mindless survival with an occasional, rare glimpse of happiness.

Then one day, when I thought my ticket had finally been pulled, there they were.

“I was practically dead when you found me. In more ways than one. You breathed life into me that day. This life...” I indicated my myself. “...is yours. I am yours. All yours. For now. Forever. For all eternity and beyond whatever happens next. I love you. All of you. ”

I barely get the words out before Jax suddenly rises, grasping the back of my head and claiming my lips like he’s drowning and he needs them to breathe.

I’m right there with him as I kiss him back with my lips and tongue and teeth and everything in between.

My hands rake up his torso as I paw at his chest, aching to get as close to him as possible.

He reaches down his hands to my ass, grabbing two handfuls and lifting me high against his chest. My arms reach out going straight for his strong shoulders and neck while my legs wrap around his narrow waist. I can feel Hawk and Cole at my sides, licking and kissing up my neck while their hands move up and down my legs and back.

I feel them. Everywhere. And yet still don’t feel them in enough places.

The heady feeling of being surrounded by my devils requiring more.

Absolutely everything they can give me. I want their love to destroy and consume me. And I need it now.

“More...” I whimper out on a quiet moan.

That gets Jax moving. He turns and makes way for the bed, the shower utterly abandoned with the need to take me.

He lowers me to the bed and turns to the guys.

Cole steps up beside him while Hawk exits the bathroom, after turning off the water, striding up to his other side.

“We need to keep her quiet, the horde is still just outside, but I can’t wait until they’re gone.” Jax says, looking to Cole.

“I've got this,” Cole says under his breath as he moves before me, taking my chin in his grasp, forcing me to look at only him at that moment. “Beautiful, look at me. Do you trust me?” I don’t even have to think about it, nodding enthusiastically.

“Good. I’m going to do some things to keep you quiet while we take care of you, is that ok?

” I nod my acceptance again. “Ok. I will never hurt you, ever, and I’ll be watching you and the way your body reacts the entire time but just in case I want you to squeeze my arm or leg if it gets to be too much, alright?

” I try to nod again but he shakes his head opposingly. “Words, gorgeous.”

“Yes, I understand. I trust you.” I say quietly. Taking my consent, Cole leans down to kiss my forehead, then whispers in my ear, “Good girl. I love you.”

I’m still staring into Cole’s stunning eyes when I’m suddenly pulled down to the edge of the bed by my ankles.

Jax’s face deep between my thighs as he licks up my arousal that is apparently flooding the sheets at this point.

The sudden shout of surprise I start to release is muffled by Cole’s hand on my mouth.

I didn’t notice his hand that close but he must have the reflexes of an alley cat because not a peep was let loose.

I look up at him to see his eyes entirely focused on mine and give him a nod to say ‘I’m good. ’

I can’t hear Jax apart from how embarrassingly wet I am as he laps up every single bit of wetness from between my thighs.

He’s ravenous. The low growls leaving him only made obvious by the soft vibrations created.

They travel through my core and light my body like a fuse, waiting for the right time to make me explode.

I’m close. So close. My hips take on a mind of their own as I grind my pussy into Jax’s face.

My hand reaching out to the back of his head to keep him there as I take him as mine and force him to never stop.

I feel it coming and Cole must sense it as well just by looking at my reaction because he jerks his head at Hawk, silently urging him forward.
