“That’s right I did. You need looking after, baby. We thought you were going to be another twenty minutes or so,” he added.
“I got done early and headed here to chat with your sister and my friends.”
“And you didn’t call us?” Briar asked, now joining them. She looked to the right and saw Cliff and Danny talking to Vetter, Blade, and Melina.
Ace released her and clutched her chin. “Next time, beautiful, you call us and let us know, so we’re here and no other men can hit on our woman. Understand me?”
“I was fine, Ace.”
He shook his head.
“That isn’t what I’m saying.”
“Yes, Ace, next time I will.”
Their other friends joined them, and they were talking and standing around together. Briar, Cliff, Ace, Danny, and Corona all took opportunities to touch her, kiss her, and caress her skin. She had been feeling a little off after the earlier incident and wondered about their possessiveness, and how all five men were demanding and commanding. They gave orders whether their tone was intentional or not. She felt like there was a fine line between protectiveness and an unhealthy control. She thought about Charles, which she had been doing a lot the last few weeks. Each time she got together with the guys, their kissing and petting got more and more intense. She wanted to feel more of what they did, of how they made her feel. She was just concerned about whether or not she was ready and how she might react having sex for the first time after being sexually assaulted for months.
At the end of the evening, Corona went in her car, and they all followed her home. When they got there, she was nervous, but then Corona pulled her into his arms and hugged her. “You looked so beautiful tonight. You were being very quiet. Are you feeling okay?” he asked. He kissed along her neck, and she tilted back, keeping her palms against his chest while his whiskers tickled her throat.
“I’m okay.” She felt the second set of hands on her shoulders.
“I hope you understand our concern from earlier in the evening. That we were jealous seeing those guys talking to you and the one guy touch you,” Ace said.
She opened her eyes and looked over her shoulder at him as Cliff continued to kiss along her shoulder, causing her strap to her bra and tank top to fall.
“I knew you were angry with me.”
He shook his head, and Ace held her gaze. “Not angry with you, but with them to think they can just touch a woman. Touch our woman.”
“I didn’t cause it, Ace. I swear I did nothing to make them flirt. I even said I was meeting someone.” She tightened up, and her mind had flashbacks of Charles and his demands. How he would yell at her and shove her around after a party or event where he accused her of flirting and getting too much attention. She was upset and confused.
He cupped her cheek. “Hey, I’m not angry with you.”
She squinted. “You’re not?”
“Hell no, baby. You belong to us. We want you with us all the time, and we’ve been taking things slow like you asked. Are you feeling more comfortable? Feeling up for a little more?” he asked and stroked her cheek as Cliff lowered her top and stroked a thumb along her breast before lowering his mouth to lick her skin there.
“Oh.” She moaned. Ace eased his palms to her cheeks and pressed his lips to hers. She sensed the others moving around, maybe walking toward her living room and the couches. The fact that they watched had her moaning into Ace’s mouth and not even caring that her bra strap was unclipped and now her top was being lifted by Cliff. Ace released her lips, and Cliff lifted her top up and off her.
“Holy God, baby. Jesus,” Cliff said and lowered his mouth to one breast to suck on the nipple and massage the large mound. Ace cupped the other one as he slid his palm down her arm and placed it behind her. They were feasting on her in front of their brothers. She focused on them. On Danny, Corona, and Briar, who were leaning back against the couches, legs spread, looking sexy and lethal.
“You’re so incredible, Amber. Let us pleasure you tonight. Let us make you come,” Corona said.
Cliff and Ace began to push her skirt and panties down her legs. She shivered and held onto their shoulders as they released her breasts. “Oh God, maybe this is too much.”
Ace lifted her naked body up into his arms like she was light as a feather. His forearm was under her ass, her hands on his shoulder, her breasts in his face, and he shook his head.
“Tonight we get this body used to our touches, to our tongues and lips. We go only as far as you want and desire,” he said and lowered her to the couch between his brothers.
Ace knelt on the floor, fully clothed, his muscles stretched against the material of his shirt, the buttons undone, and she reached for his head as he lowered his mouth to her breast for another taste.
“Ace.” She exhaled, and then Briar leaned over.
“I’m shaking, you’re so damn beautiful, Amber. My God, say you want us. Say you’ll let each of us explore this sexy body. Say yes, baby.”
“Yes, oh God, Briar, I feel it, too. I’m scared. I’m—”
“Shhh, no fears. Feel, and if it gets to be too much, we’ll slow things down,” Danny told her.
She nodded her head and held his gaze as Ace used his mouth to explore her lower and lower. The gruff along his chin and cheeks chaffed her skin. She gripped onto his shoulders and pushed her fears from the past away despite the images trying to invade her mind. He used his tongue, lashed out at her pussy. A clean-shaven, well-groomed pussy, as she went to the spa for the works yesterday because she truly wanted to let her guard down and give this a try. To let them in.
“Oh, oh, Ace.”
He lifted her ass up and readjusted her position on the couch with their help. She was now spread out on the long ottoman with no sides, and they gathered around her. Her ass off the edge, Corona and Cliff took her hands and raised them above her. She tilted her hips upward and moaned as a gush of cream escaped from her cunt.
“Mmm.” Ace moaned, licking her cream, suckling her clit. Then Corona and Cliff began to tease her nipples, to tug on them.
“I love these breasts. Love the scent of your skin. I can’t wait to taste your sweet cream, Amber. To plunge my tongue deep inside and tug on that tiny, sensitive clit and make you scream my name,” Corona said, and she cried out her release.
“Fuck yeah, she likes the dirty talk, Corona. That’s right up your alley,” Danny chimed in, sounding rugged and sexy.
“My turn,” Briar said and moved from his position.
Ace eased his mouth from her pussy and kissed along her belly. “Thank you, Amber,” he said, shocking her.
“I should be thanking you,” she said.
“You can, any way you’d like to,” he replied and winked. She didn’t know if she could do that, could take a taste of his cock without fear.
“Hey, you focus on us, on how we make you feel,” he said to her, and Briar took his place.
“You did this for us, Amber? You got this pussy nice and trimmed for us?” Briar asked, trailing his fingertip along her pussy and groin, while he held her hip with his large, warm hand. They were sexy, commanding, and capable, and they made her forget the past and her fears and made her want to give them all of her.
“Yes,” she admitted, and he smiled, then stroked a finger up into her cunt.
“God damn, that is fucking great,” Corona said, and he leaned down, tilted her chin upward, and kissed her.
She moaned as Danny and raised her arms above her head again, and Briar teased her pussy and clit, making her lose all train of thought and just let go.
They were relentless, one after the next. Briar shifted to the side, and then Danny was there, he nipped her clit, tugged, and then twirled his tongue over her cunt and right to her asshole. She screamed out her release, only for Corona to grip her face and kiss her, devour her moans while Danny explored her asshole. They were driving her insane, and then Danny moved, and Corona was there. He lifted her thighs over his shoulders and
moaned as he feasted on her cunt.
“I’m going to come in my fucking pants, she’s so hot,” Briar said, and she looked at him and panted for breath.
“My turn,” Cliff said, and they shifted to the side as she exhaled.
“Oh Cliff, I can’t take it. I can’t even move. Oh God, what you guys have done to me,” she said and placed her arm over her eyes and forehead.
They chuckled and switched around, giving Cliff full access to her body. He pulled her by her legs and thighs over the edge of the coach and lay over her. Reaching up, he cupped her cheek, held her gaze, and gave a wink.
“You are an absolutely incredible woman. I can’t believe you’re mine, that you belong to my brothers and me. We would do anything for you, Amber. Anything, I want you to know that. We want to be everything to you. Want to protect you, have you with us as much as possible. It’s insane when you aren’t with us,” he told her and pressed his lips to hers.
She felt the tears emerge, and she ran her fingers through his light brown hair, could feel the scruff along his cheeks as she slowly caressed them. Then his lips moved from hers to her breasts. First the left nipple, he suckled and swirled his tongue around it. Then the right nipple where he tugged, causing an ache to lead from her tiny bud to her very needy pussy.
“Cliff.”
“Shhh…just feel, Amber. Just let go and feel,” he said, and she exhaled as he used his mouth to trail along her belly to her hip bones, making her gasp and chuckle.
“Someone is ticklish,” Corona said.
“Good to know,” Danny added and winked.
“Oh!” she moaned as Cliff slid his tongue along her pussy and asshole. He plunged his tongue along both spots, pushing, exploring, and then spread her thighs wider with his palms, opening her up fully to his ministrations.
“Cliff.” She tried to close her legs.
“No, keep them open. Allow him a taste and to explore what will be ours soon enough,” Ace ordered.
She shivered, and holy shit, she came.
“Mmmm.” Cliff licked her cream and tugged on her clit.
“I think she liked being ordered around,” Briar said and reached over to caress her hair.
She looked at him, could barely focus she was so aroused and ready to come some more. When a finger slid into her asshole at the same time Cliff’s tongue pushed into her cunt, she cried out and came.
* * * *
“Tell us you want us to stay the night and make love to you. Ask us to stay?” Ace said to her.
She swallowed hard and took a few unsteady breaths. When she started getting up, Cliff lifted her onto his lap. She held onto him, moved her hair so that the long golden locks cascaded over her breasts, covering them. She crossed her legs, hiding her pussy. She was really so shy, but her demeanor concerned him when it came to sex.
He reached out and tugged on her hair.
“Talk to us. What’s holding you back? We all want you. Don’t you want us to make love to you? To claim you our woman?” he asked her.
“I do. It’s just that there are things that happened in my life. Experiences that have taken me a long time to try to overcome and put behind me.”
“What kind of experiences?” Danny asked her, reaching over and caressing her thigh.
“I don’t want to ruin this. What we have right now,” she whispered.
“Why would you ruin it by talking to us, and explaining these fears, and confiding in us about why you’re holding back?” Cliff asked her.
“I guess I don’t want you to look at me differently. To not want me even though what happened, what I experienced, wasn’t my fault. You’re all so powerful and capable. I’m not,” she told them.
“You’re more powerful and capable than you give yourself credit for. We can see that, and others do, as well. Confide in us. Let us in,” Ace said.
“Let me ask you something, maybe make it a little easier to get off your chest. Was a man involved in putting this fear in you?”
She hesitated only a moment. Ace squinted. “Yes.”
“Did he hurt you? Abuse you?” he asked.
“Yes.”
Tears filled her eyes, and Ace felt the anger pool in his gut. Some dick hurt her, was abusive to her and put this fear in her. Was he alive? Where did he live, around here?
“Okay, this boyfriend, is he out of the picture completely?” Cliff asked.
“He…he wasn’t a boyfriend.”
“Whoa, wait, what do you mean? Who was he?” Briar asked.
She stared at her hands and then reached for the throw blanket and pulled it against her chest so she was covered. Cliff continued to hold her on his lap.
“My brother got into some trouble with some men.”
Ace clenched his teeth.
“I was twenty-two when I was taken by these men as a token of faith.”
“What?” Corona asked in a deep, hard tone.
“One main guy gave my brother a certain period of time to get whatever he owed him back to him. He didn’t come back for me. My brother didn’t make it back and broke the deal.”
“Holy fuck,” Corona whispered.
Tears spilled from her eyes as she looked at Ace. “I was…I was raped,” she said and covered her mouth with her hand.
Ace felt the life leave him. He felt his chest tighten, and it was like he stopped breathing. His brothers all reacted differently. Corona looked like he would pop a fuse and rage, Danny was biting the inside of his cheek, Briar’s nostrils flared, and Cliff spoke softly to her as Ace fell to his knees and hugged her to him as she cried. The flood gates opened for her. She rambled on about this man who took from her body whenever he wanted, and when she resisted, she fought him only the first few times because the pain was so bad and it was less when she was obedient.
“Oh my God, baby. You’re a survivor. You’re so fucking strong. Jesus, I want to take the memories away. Take everything bad away and replace it with everything good and loving and perfect for you,” he told her.
“How did you get free?” Cliff asked her.
“My brother and his friends showed up and saved me. I thought he was dead. He almost did die, but other friends helped him, and then they located me and made a plan. For months I was a prisoner, held against my will. I did nothing wrong.”
“Where is your brother now?” Corona asked.
“I don’t know.”
“And this man, the one who raped you, who held you prisoner?” Corona asked, feeling the bile in his throat, the anger building and building with hatred for this monster.
Poor, beautiful Amber. She was only twenty-three. Jesus. Ace knew his brother was already thinking of taking these men out.
“I don’t know.”
“Amber, is this man a threat to you still?” Ace asked.
Tears fell. “I don’t know.”
“Fuck,” Corona said and stood up and rubbed his jaw.
“It’s been two years since everything has happened,” she whispered. Ace stood up, and she went to move from Cliff’s lap, but he held her.
“Stay. Right here in my arms where I know that you’re safe.” Cliff kissed her bare shoulder. She worried her bottom lip.
Ace, Corona, and Danny stood now, and they were thinking, worrying. Ace had to pull his brothers together. Briar sat there, looking ready to kill.
Ace pulled over the coffee table and sat on it. He had his legs open, and his elbows on them as he faced her and Cliff.
“I know I speak for my brothers when I say how sorry we are that you had to go through that.” He paused. The emotion, the anger, was so difficult to push through. She was innocent. The seriousness of what had been done to her shocked him he felt so much.
“We’re here for you, Amber. Like our sister, your friends, we’ll be above all that for you.”
“Your sister doesn’t know,” she whispered and wiped the tear that was about to fall.
She took Ace’s hand, and he looked at her, saw the emotion in her eyes as she c
onfided in them. She caressed his hand and stroked his finger as she gulped and then spoke.
“No one knows, but the five of you, myself, my brother, and Kiana.”
“Kiana?” Corona asked.
Amber looked at him.
“My therapist. She said she knows you guys. I talked to her about you, about taking this chance, and moving on. She said you’re great men, that she’s only heard great things about each of you.”
Ace looked at Corona, who had his eyes scrunched together.
“You talked to her about us?” Corona asked.
“I hope you don’t mind. I kind of freaked out after the beer and BBQ festival and then the day you got the stitches out, Cliff and you found out about Dr. Ford. It was a mess, and I was, too.”
“Kiana helped me through a situation a couple of years back,” Corona told Amber. Amber sat forward and held the blanket against her chest.
“You and Kiana?”
“She provided therapy, counseling for me after a tragic situation in the service. I had been suffering from nightmares and survivor’s guilt, basically. Jesus…” He ran his fingers through his hair. “She told me that one day I would find a woman who understood my fears, my scars, and how much in control I need to be of everything. That she would calm me and be perfect. Now here you are, and she’s telling you how great my brothers and I are,” Corona said to her.
“She acted like what she knew was hearsay, not personal opinion,” Amber replied.
“Then she did her job. Kept client confidentiality and didn’t let on how well she knew Corona,” Ace added.
“What else did you tell her?” Corona asked, moving onto the seat next to Amber.
“Just how much I enjoyed your company. How much you all make me feel.”
“What else?” Corona asked, and reached out and stroked her hair from her cheek and cupped her head under her hair.
“That I was considering having sex with you. With all of you, but that I was afraid because of the past and how much it hurt.”
The mumbled curses went through the room.
“It won’t hurt with us, Amber,” Corona said to her.
