“Damn,” he muttered, watching her writhe with satisfaction. “This is fucking cool. I wonder how far away I can be when I press this button. Don’t move.”
He stood in the door of the bedroom and pressed it, and she squealed. Then he moved to the kitchen, and it was the same. Finally, he stood on the front porch in the blowing rain and wind. Again, she screeched with excitement and pleasure.
When he went back into the bedroom, she was stretching like a cat on the bed. He grinned at her.
“The night of our wedding, I want you to wear that beneath your gown. Every time I see you, I’m going to hit this button and watch you squirm beneath my touch, even from across the room.”
“I hate to say it, but this kind of torture I can deal with,” she laughed. “Now, come take it out. With your teeth. And give me that big cock instead.”
“Fuck yea, woman.”
It was still dark by the time Cowboy left the bed, showered, and put his tactical gear on. He smiled at the naked body of Autumn spread out on their bed. Her hair was all over her face, a small line of drool dripping down her cheek. He wanted to laugh, but it was so damn cute he just snapped a photo to use later.
Kissing her forehead, he left the cottage, making sure it was locked tight with the alarm system in place. With the others, they quietly made their way to the jets. When their gear was loaded, the two dozen men were in the air, watching the replay of the video in Africa.
Dex’s friend and his team laid their trap perfectly. The poachers were chasing three male lions, leading them straight into a trap. Unfortunately, it was the poachers who found themselves trapped. Making a safe escape for the lions, the game wardens lay in wait, trapping the men between two ridges that led to a dead end. Literally.
The poachers were prepared to die, unwilling to lay down their weapons. With a truck loaded with furs, skins, and ivory tusks, they were ready to go to war for the money it would bring in. It crushed Dex and the others to see the dead animals mutilated for cash.
These men were going to hell for their actions. Although the wardens were more than happy to help them with their travels to hell, the lions took that choice from them.
It took less than an hour for the lions to kill the men and pick their bones clean. They would never raise a weapon to another animal. With a few well-calculated roars and calls, the entire pride fed off their aggressors. It all seemed fitting.
“I’d say that was justice,” smirked Cowboy. Cam nodded.
“Agree. Now, let’s deliver a little justice to our friend Dimitri.”
CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
“How many ships are we looking at?” asked Cowboy.
“Five total,” said Hiro. “One is sitting in the Gulf of Patras. The other four are all docked at Patras. I hacked into the video footage from the docks last night, and they loaded two of them with unmarked crates. We have to assume stolen goods or drugs.
“There’s a warehouse that belongs to the shipping line just over here,” he said, pointing to the map. “We’ve seen men going in and out of there all morning. By the time we get there, it will be evening, and if the warehouse has women or children, that’s when they’ll try to load them.”
“Alright,” said Luke. “Moose, you go with Hiro, Red, Tanner, Fitch, and Remy. Get inside that warehouse and disable any men that are there. If it has women and children, find a way to get them out of there and to another area and call the authorities. Then leave. We don’t want anyone seen.”
“Sounds like a party to me,” smirked Moose.
“Cowboy? You, Wade, Sam, Magnus, and Bodhi take theAthenia. Tiger, Jalen, Chief, Bron, Dom, and Frank, you guys take theOlympus. Dunc, Garrett, Adam, Ben, Ian, and Carl take theFortuna. And Will, Chase, JT, Bogey, Bone, and HG take theMinotaur.
“Cam, Eric, Hex, and myself are going to take care of the one in the gulf,” smirked Luke. “We’ve been getting dusty and would like a little action. AJ, Irish, Ethan, and Mo, you’re with us. The rest of you will be watching and waiting for trouble because it will probably come.
“We know that the Greek authorities are notorious for accepting bribes, so we can assume that Dimitri has been bribing them to look the other way. Watch for them, and if you have to, give them a diversion.
“I know I don’t have to say this, but everyone comes home. I want not a scratch on any of you. You’re too good, too careful, too smart to allow them to get the best of us. Watch your six, and watch your brother’s six.”
“Yes, Dad,” they all sang.
“Jesus, I hate you guys sometimes.”
Savannah and Evie were able to land the Osprey near the docks. In whisper and stealth mode, she barely made a sound, and no one saw her. When the men felt it was dark enough, they started to move in.
“Autumn? Can you hear me?” asked Luke.
“Yes. I can hear you.”
“It’s time, honey. Make the call.”
