Page 75 of Purgatory (Devil Dogs of the Apocalypse #1)

Alessandra

I wake slowly. My eyes blinking against the waning light of the day shining through the curtains.

We must have slept all day. My bones are stiff and straining to crack with every little move I try to make.

I’m going to need to bug Cole for some pain killers if this is what waking up after a night with them is going to feel like on the regular.

While I’m happily and deliciously sore, I’m going to be utterly useless without some sort of assistance.

I look to the window, admiring the light streaming in.

Wait...on second thought... that doesn’t look like the sun setting.

It's getting brighter... Did we lose a whole day? No... There’s no way we slept for a whole day and on through the night.

Then again, after everything we’ve been through, should it really surprise me if we did?

My stubborn self is showing despite my questions. Regardless of how long we’ve been swallowed up in this bed, I don’t want to move. Rather, wishing I could lay here all day, content with the comfies all around me. There’s just one problem.

I need to pee....

I try to lift up but can’t. I’m stuck to the bed. I try to lift up my arm. My leg. A finger???? Nothing. I can’t move. What the fuck? I lift my head and see the cause of my paralysis. Three large bodies practically covering mine .

Jax is to my left, his large arm slung over my chest and half his body lying on top of mine. His head is propped on my shoulder, while he’s snoring softly with his mouth parted slightly and his hair spiked up everywhere.

I look to my right where Cole is spooning my entire lower body.

His leg is wrapped around mine and his head is planted right on my belly, his head bobbing up and down with my breaths.

I can’t see his face but I can just imagine how cute he looks when he sleeps.

Probably imagining he’s rocking around on a ship across the ocean with the movement of my breathing.

I bite my lip and smile when I see Hawk.

He’s in between my legs again. His body, like a python surrounding my other leg and his head in the soft spot between my hip bone and my pussy - the cause of the pressure that’s making me have to pee.

I giggle when I look at the proximity between Hawk and Jax.

Jax’s crotch is pushed right up against my hip where Hawk isdrooling with his mouth wide open right in front of it.

My giggle must have jostled them all a little bit because one by one they all start to wake up around me.

Cole is the first, stretching like a cat and then moving up my side to capture my jaw in his palm and kissing me like I’m not sporting morning breath.

Slow, languid touches awaken our bodies as we breathe each other in.

“Hawk, if you want to suck my dick you gotta ask first, bro!” Our sleepy kisses are interrupted by Jax curling into himself to get his morning wood away from Hawk’s, still drooling, sleepy face.

Jax looks over to us, “I swear, every time we sleep, he’s right there!

We don’t even fall asleep this way; he just ends up with his face in my junk.

One of these days I'm gonna whip his face with it and then he’ll see what’s up.

” We all share a laugh which finally wakes Hawk up.

“Mmmmmm, too loud. Five more minutes.” He turns his head towards my core and breathes in audibly. “Fuck, Aly. You smell good.” he groans as he nuzzles his face further into my pussy causing me to jump.

“NO! Nope. I gotta pee. Get outta my way. You can have me after I don’t piss myself.” I make a shooing motion with my hands which makes them all smile and make enough space to allow me to sprint to the bathroom.

After peeing like a race horse, taking a 30 second, cold shower and brushing my teeth, I make my way back out to the main area where I bend down and snag a shirt off of the floor.

Luckily, these guys are practically giants and the shirt falls just below my ass, covering up all the bits so that I’m not walking around naked.

I look around and take in what the guys are doing.

Cole is standing at the table, using some sort of press thingy, and making something that smells just like coffee.

We have no electricity or generator here, that I saw.

How is that possible? Hawk is over by the bed, removing the old linens and replacing them with new ones.

Where the fuck did he get those? There’s not even a closet in this place.

I turn to Jax, who is at the stove, and my eyebrows push further limits up my forehead, if that was even possible.

Ok. Seriously. Where did the eggs and bacon come from? !

Is there a trap door in here that I’m not aware of?

There’s not even a second story for crying out loud.

It’s one freaking room and a bathroom. That’s it.

There wasn’t anything in the fridge, so I ask again.

.. Where’d the eggs and bacon come from?

Knowing Jax, he probably hid them in an underground bunker so that at the end of time, when the horsemen finally came to get him, he’d be sitting there, smug as shit and his last meal would be mother-fucking BACON!

Whatever. I don’t care, he has fucking bacon and that’s all that matters.

I’m practically drooling as I make my way over to the stove where he’s perched and slide my arms around his waist. He catches my hands when they land on his barely hidden abs and descending V.

“Trying to get on my good side so you can steal some bacon?” He says over his shoulder.

I bite my lip and give my best Oliver Twist impression with my eyes screaming “please sir, can I have some more?”

He laughs and turns to me, switching our places so I'm now pressed back against the counter next to the stove.

“Baby girl, you can have all the bacon.” He smiles as he removes a piece from the pan, dabbing off the excess grease and lifting it over my head to feed it to me.

I moan around the salty, meaty goodness and smile when he leans in to kiss me, licking and sucking off the remnants of bacon yumminess from my lips.

Backing away, he turns me towards Cole and smacks me on my ass to get me moving in his direction.

I yelp at the contact but jump to action, walking the few steps it takes me to get to Cole.

He side-steps away from the table, opening his arms to welcome me in, and kisses my forehead before presenting me with a coffee mug with the saying, “Death before decaf” on it.

It’s filled to the brim with warm, delicious smelling coffee that looks to have just the right amount of sugar and creamer in it.

I take a sip and my eyes almost cross at how good it tastes.

“Oh my gravy, that’s some good spicy bean juice,” I moan. I take another sip just as Jax’s head pops up from the stove with a shocked look on his face. Hawk comes over cocking his head and smirking.

“What did you just call that?” He points to the coffee.

“Spicy bean juice... you know ‘cause it’s made from beans and…never mind, it’s stupid” I laugh to myself, hiding my face in my cup as I take another sip of my bean juice.

He takes the mug from me and gently places it down on the table. Turning back to me he takes my face in his hands and smiles down at me. “It’s not stupid, I love it.” Hawk pulls me closer, kissing me stupid before pulling away, reaching down for the mug and stealing a sip from it.

“Hey!” I yell and he smiles, placing the mug down and running to the bed he just made as I chase and leap on top of him, trying to wrestle him down to submission for stealing a sip.

The bed comes unmade in a matter of seconds but it doesn’t matter.

We tickle and pinch and grapple for the better part of ten minutes before Jax and Cole join us, completely outnumbering me when they each take a leg or an arm and pin me down on the bed beneath all three of them.

It’s like staring up at three gods, they're so big and overpowering. It’s intimidating and I love it.

The atmosphere in the room changes and my eyelids start to droop as I feel my core start to thrum with energy. I’m not wearing any underwear and the guys must notice my arousal immediately because they all start to groan, focusing on the wetness starting to saturate between my legs.

Cole is the first to speak. “I love you, beautiful, and seeing you laid out like this for us is... God it’s everything... but after yesterday?” He makes a wincing face before bending down and lightly kissing my pussy.

He’s right. Now that I've taken stock, focusing on how my body is feeling, I'm actually pretty sore, but in a good way. Happily abused and loving it but in need of a tiny break. Leave it to Doc to know before I even did. I nod sheepishly and pull my legs together. “You’re right, I should probably take today as a rest day. That was… yea….that was hot.” I bite my lip at the memory. I can’t wait to do that again and more.

They all must be thinking about it too because Jax and Hawk’s eyes cloud over, looking spacey and day dreaming all the good dreams.

Cole crawls up over my body, to my face and kisses me once before the others came back to their senses. His mouth trails up my jaw to my ear, “Just wait till tomorrow, gorgeous. You have no idea what I have in store for you. ”

An uncontrollable shiver races down my spine at his words. Anticipation heavy. “ Holy guacamole, is it tomorrow yet?”

Cole laughs quietly, “Soon, baby... soon.”

He lifts me up and off the bed, bringing me back into the kitchen area and pulls out a chair for me. I sit down and go back to drinking my coffee, silently squeezing my thighs together to tame the she-beast that woke up at Cole’s words.

Jax wraps around my side and places a plate with eggs, bacon and toast with jam in front of me. You’ve got to be kidding me. We can toast stuff here too??? He leans down next, whispering just for me to hear, “eat up princess... you’re gonna need it.”

These boys are trying to kill me. This is a game, right? It has to be... How long can they keep me on the edge of the horny canyon before I inevitably topple over it? And they didn’t even touch me yet! That’s it...

“Yes, sir...” I pick up a piece of bacon, moaning around it before swallowing. I look to my coffee and pick it up, licking up the side of the mug like it’s a popsicle before taking a sip. I spread my legs under the table and start to move my hand down my chest and over my thigh to...

I let out a high pitched keen, moaning at the feel of my fingers as they move so close to where I’m aching and suddenly all three of them surround me.

Like that sound summoned them from the pits of Hell.

I smile and look at each of them, at their pants tenting in front of them.

My teasing makes Jax growl and shake his head.

“Ok, Ok. We need to get out of this place before we maul you like wild animals all over again,” Jax says while pacing and breathing heavily. He looks to me. “What would you like to do, baby? We can do whatever you want. We have the whole day. ”

I pick up my fork and dig into the food. “Actually, we have our whole lives.” I smirk. “Let’s go see where the road takes us. Find our adventure. Together.”

The three of them look at each other, nodding their heads in unison.

“Where the road takes us.” Hawk says with a smile.

Before long we’re all seated around the little tiny table, eating our meals and brainstorming all of the wild and crazy ideas we can make happen.

When we finish, we all move to the chest of drawers in the corner of the room and collectively get dressed.

Unfortunately, the only person who has clothing here is Jax but we all make due, borrowing clothes from his stash, including a pair of way too big boots for my poor naked feet but they’re better than just socks so I make them work for now.

Hey, maybe that’ll be the first mission of our new lives- new shoes for Aly! Sounds like a great start to me.

Hawk turns to get his go-pack ready with the others but when he goes to pick up the two-way radio he turns look at Jax, a question in his eyes.

“No more separating. No one needs to stay behind anymore. We go together. Besides, we only have the one radio now since the others were all in the house. Until we find more, it’s pretty much useless,” Jax says firmly as he leans down, giving Sadie a pet on her head where she waits by the front door, eager to get out for the day and have an adventure, herself.

Hawk places the radio back on the little table to the side and we all step out. We don’t know what we’re going to do, but we’ll manage a plan eventually. For now, it’s just us, and that’s fine by me. They’re all I need anyway.

Cole takes my hand, kissing the top of my head as we start walking with no destination in mind.

Jax is next to me on the other side, with Sadie walking right next to him in stride.

Hawk’s on the other side of Cole, whistling a tune and smiling like the sun.

This day might have just been starting, but I can tell the best days were still yet to come.

Back at the safe house...

A crackle of static pierces through the silent air followed by a small beep.

“Hello? Hello? Is anyone out there? This is Sergeant Waverly of the United States Marine Corps. We have retaken Camp Lejeune, location: Jacksonville, North Carolina and cleared it of all threats. I repeat, we have retaken Camp Lejeune, location: Jacksonville, North Carolina, and cleared it of all threats. We are reaching out to anyone who is currently isolated and in need of assistance. We have supplies, food and medical assistance to any who wish to have it. Anyone who wishes to step aboard the military installation will have to pass medical checks to ensure they are not infected but all are welcome. Over.”

The radio crackles for another second or two and then goes silent. The words falling on the air waiting for someone to pick them up...
