Jackie turned to me, his face twisted in anguish. “But look at what they did to you, Rosita! They hurt you, again! I promised myself and you that I would do everything I could to keep you safe, and I couldn’t even do that! How in the hell am I supposed to be okay with her walking around campus like nothing even happened when she did this to you?” Jackie walked over to me, his long legs closing the gap between us quickly, and took my hands in his. “I love you, Rosita.”
“I love you.” I looked into his eyes as I spoke, trying to make him see just how much he meant to me. “I have no doubt in my mind that you love me. I just…I can’t let you take the fall on this one. I’ll get Amelia, I promise you. You have a job to do, remember?”
He frowned and squeezed my hands. “I know, but we can’t find anything on Brett. I just…I have to do something. Right now I feel like I’m spinning my wheels, and I’m going crazy watching you take so many risks. Let us be the ones putting ourselves at risk for a while and you do the research.”
It was tempting, but when I looked into Jackie’s eyes, I knew that he was going to do something that we’d regret. He was too close to this, too passionate, too…
“Please,” he said, interrupting my thoughts, but this time, before I could respond, Kaleb walked over and took Jackie’s hand, slipping his fingers through his and then taking mine with his other.
“Listen, you two. I can’t…” His voice broke and he closed his eyes, swallowing hard before continuing. “I can’t handle that they hurt you, Rose, but we can’t go off the rails now. If we want to bring Amelia to justice and bring Brett back to us then we can’t get distracted, Jackie. It sucks, but you know this.”
He closed his eyes again and bent his head, resting it lightly on my forehead. My Kaleb, my passionate rogue, the one with a heart as big as he was, had been so quiet since I’d walked into the dining room with my ears ripped open and bleeding. Now, though, I could tell that it was all about to come to a head.
“You are everything to me – to us – Rose. You are the most important person in my life and to see you hurt…” He paused again, fighting back the choking sound in his voice. Tears leaked from his eyes and I leaned up on my toes to kiss them away. “We can’t let you get hurt. We’ll get her, and we’ll bring Brett back to us, I promise. But I won’t let them hurt you again.”
His mouth was so close to mine. I leaned forward, capturing it with my own. At first, he kissed back slowly, gently, like he was afraid of hurting me.
I’d already been hurt so badly today. I needed my boys to love me and put me back together. They’d bandaged my ears as best they could, but I needed more.
His mouth opened under mine, hungry, and I bit his lower lip, coaxing a moan from him. Kaleb’s hands went to my waist, where he squeezed my hips and pulled me closer.
I hadn’t let go of Jackie’s hand yet, and I turned from Kaleb, kissing him. He wasn’t hesitant. Never had he been cautious, and now was no different. Rubbing his hands up my back, turned me to him, gently stroking his thumb across my nipple.
It sprang to attention and I gasped at the shooting pleasure that it sent through my body. Even though I wasn’t sure what was going on, I reached for them both, pulling them to me as I backed up to the bed.
I needed them.
I needed to feel loved. To feel whole. Kaleb tugged on the hem of my shirt, ripping it up and over my head, careful of my ears. Even though he was cautious, I felt a sting when the shirt pulled over my head, and I gasped.
“Are you okay?” Kaleb’s eyes searched mine for answers and he cupped my chin in his hand, turning me to look at him. “We don’t want to hurt you.”
The meaning in his statement was clear, and I swallowed hard, nodding. “I’m fine. You won’t. Just go slow, okay?”
“Oh, Rosita, we have all evening.” Jackie pushed me down onto the bed and shimmied out of his pants before pulling mine off. Kaleb stripped, his muscles twisting as he pulled off his clothes.
My mouth watered.
I’d been with them both, but not at the same time. To have them both fully focused on me and my needs? The thought was overwhelming, to say the least.
But I didn’t have much time to really think about it. Jackie kissed me, his hungry mouth on mine, his hands exploring my body, squeezing my tits. I groaned as he took a nipple in his mouth, and then I gasped when Kaleb did the same with my other.
My back arched as they sucked and squeezed me, but then Kaleb let go and slid down, opening my legs and settling himself between him.
Everything felt like I was in a haze or a thick fog. I could barely concentrate on what was happening, but I felt his kisses up my thigh, the way he slipped two fingers into me, how my muscles squeezed and contracted.
“Oh, holy hell,” I murmured, reached down to wrap my hand in his hair. He slipped his fingers out and across my clit, coating it in my own juices, then rubbed it, making fireworks shoot through my body.
“God, you feel good, Rose,” he said, before sucking my fingers. “And, fuck, you taste even better.”
“She does,” Jackie agreed, before kissing me. I reached for him, wrapping my hand around his hard cock. Both of my boys were huge and hard, ready for me, and I wanted nothing more than for them to take me.
However they wanted.
Before I could think anything else, Kaleb licked me, his hot tongue sliding over my slit, then slipped his fingers back inside before sucking my clit. The feeling of his tongue on my sensitive nub made me squirm and pulled a moan from deep inside my body.
He continued lapping me, his tongue making me wetter and wetter as he tasted me, his fingers coaxing an orgasm from me.
Not coaxing.
Tearing.
What he was doing to me didn’t leave me any time to think or breathe. I could barely focus on anything but the way my body was responding to him.
As I stroked and rubbed Jackie’s cock, he bent over me, his tongue sucking and nipping at my nipple. It hardened immediately and he pinched the other, making me cry out.
At the same time, Kaleb stroked me from inside while he sucked my clit.
I felt my body getting higher and tighter. It felt like I was leaving myself on the bed, hovering over myself, the tension and excitement of what was to come practically pushing me over the edge.
Jackie lifted his mouth from my nipple and kissed his way up my neck. My skin was all on fire, his hot kisses somehow soothing and cooling. “Come for us, Rosita,” he whispered in my ear.
I was teetering on the edge before, but that took me and threw me over the edge. There wasn’t any way that I could hold on or stop myself. I came, screaming out their names one after the other as I fell apart. Kaleb held my shaking hips to the bed to keep me from rocking them forward too hard as Jackie sucked my nipple again.
It was heaven.
When I came down from my high and was a quivering mess on the bed, Jackie kissed me, then Kaleb crawled up my still shivering body to plant a kiss on my lips. I tasted myself on him. My two boys were leaning over me, staring at me, then Jackie turned his head to Kaleb.
“Let me taste her.”
Without hesitation, Kaleb leaned over, kissing Jackie. Their mouths collided and Jackie reached up to hold the back of Kaleb’s neck, preventing him from pulling back. I watched, my mouth hanging open slightly, a burning deep in more core keeping me pinned to the spot.
They were both so gorgeous. To see them together like this, in bed with me, made me happier than I had ever been. There was only one thing missing.
But I would have him back.
We’d have him.
I promised myself that, and I’d promised them that. I didn’t care what stood in our way.
At first, I thought that I could just sit back and watch them, but when Kaleb pulled back from Jackie, moaning slightly from parted lips, I knew that I couldn’t wait any longer. Leaning up, I pulled him down to me, kissing him hard, my mouth forcing his open.
I needed them both in a way I coul
dn’t verbalize. All I could do was show them. Wrapping my leg around Kaleb’s, I turned him, flipping him down so that he was on the bed. Jackie watched as I straddle him, slowly lowering myself onto his cock.
He filled me and split me and I had to go slow. Even though there was a burning for him deep in my stomach, I had to go slow. Inch by inch, breathing deeply the whole time, I lowered myself, digging my fingers into his chest. He cried out and pulled me down to kiss him.
“Fuck, Rose, you feel good.” Kaleb started to grind his hips into me, but I stopped him, looking over at Jackie.
“Join us.” Before he could answer, I leaned forward on Kaleb, wiggling my ass at him. Jackie grinned and ran a hand through his hair before climbing onto the bed behind me.
“That ass,” he said, cupping it and squeezing it. “I’m going to bury myself in you, Rosita.”
I was still wet from Kaleb going down on me, and he’d spread my juices everywhere. Biting my lower lip, I gasped as Jackie entered me from behind, kneeling with his legs around Kaleb.
“Oh, god,” I moaned, started to rock. Jackie had his hand on my waist, holding me tight and helping me rock back and forth on them both. Kaleb reached up and squeezed a nipple, rolling it between my fingers until I cried out. When I did, he slipped a finger into my mouth. I sucked it, hard, my tongue sliding over it as I slipped up and down on his cock.
“You feel amazing, Rosita,” Jackie murmured, his breath hot on my skin. “Just keep going.”
Honestly, I wasn’t sure how long I was going to be able to last. I could feel the pressure building up inside of me. It was made even more powerful by the fact that I was filled up with two of the boys I loved.
Brett’s image flashed in my mind.
“I’m coming,” I told him. I was coming for him. I wouldn’t let him stay away for much longer.
The boys heard me. Kaleb dropped his hand from my nipple to my clit, rubbing his thumb roughly over it. I felt like I was flying high, electricity sparkling through every nerve in my body. There wasn’t anything grounding me any longer.
I wasn’t part of my body anymore. All of my nerves screamed for release, my mind and body completely disconnected. I was in heaven, but with just a few more strokes of their cocks, I was going to come falling back down to earth.
“Rosita!” Jackie screamed out my name at the same time that Kaleb cried out and we all tipped over the edge together. I fell the hardest, collapsing on Kaleb’s chest, covered in a fine sheen of sweat.
When I could breathe again, Jackie lifted me off of Kaleb and helped me stretch out on the bed before rubbing my feet. He worked his way up my body, relaxing all of my muscles.
I fell asleep before he got to my thighs.
Chapter 8
It wasn’t until sun fell across my face that I finally stirred. I’d been sleeping with one leg thrown over Kaleb and my face buried in Jackie’s chest, but I must have turned. It was suddenly cold in bed, and I sat up quickly, unsure of where I was.
Then I remembered.
I remembered what it felt like to be so loved by my two rogues last night. To know that they would do anything they could, not only for me, but for each other. To feel the complete love and passion of two incredible people.
As happy as I was, I couldn’t wait until we had Brett back. I just knew that having him as a part of our group again would add another element and would make all of us even happier than we were right now.
Jackie was sitting by the window looking out over the quad. His back was to me, but when he heard me stir in the bed, he turned around, a grin on his face.
“There’s our girl.” Everything about him was smooth and elegant, from the way he spoke to how he moved across the room to me. “Scoot over, Rosita, I’m coming in.”
I moved and lifted the blanket for him. Jackie slid in next to me and gave me a kiss, but I pushed him away after a moment.
“Morning breath,” I explained. “Trust me, you don’t want any of this.”
He laughed, a sound that made my core tighten. “I want all of you, Rosita, no matter what your breath smells like.” At that, I kissed him again, this time letting myself fall into it.
When I pulled back, I looked around the room. “Kaleb? Where’s he?”
Jackie snuggled down next to me, pulling me so that my head was resting on his chest. “He went to get us all something from the dining hall. Amelia is going to be on the warpath today, so we decided to keep you here in bed as long as we could. Not that I mind.” He ran his fingers along my arm, making me shiver, and pulled me closer. “I don’t know how long he’ll be gone,” he began, but just then the door clicked open.
“Kaleb! Food!” I pulled away from Jackie and ran across the room to help my other rogue in the door. He carried a huge tray loaded with croissants, fresh fruit, juice, yogurt, and granola. When he locked the door behind him he leaned over and gave me a kiss.
“You are a sight to see, my love,” he murmured, running his hand along my cheek.
I giggled and the three of us crowded onto the bed to eat. The food was amazing, as always, and we didn’t speak until we’d eaten our way through most of the tray. Then I leaned back on a pillow and pinned Kaleb in place with a gaze.
“Did you see her? Amelia?” I knew that I didn’t need to say her name. He’d know exactly who I was talking about, but I almost felt that calling her by name gave me some power. If I wasn’t afraid to say her name, then she couldn’t hurt me.
It was ridiculous and made me feel a little like a child, but I had to try something to take more control of the situation.
He nodded and took a drink of juice before continuing. “Yeah, I saw her. She’s fit to be tied right now, you guys. I’ve never seen her that pissed. Kelly won’t leave her side, like she thinks that Amelia’s going to protect her, but honestly? I think that Amelia would throw her under the bus at a moment’s notice if it meant that she could get to you.”
His words made me shiver. I didn’t want to think about someone gunning for me that much. It was terrifying to believe that anyone could hate another person the way that she hated me, but it was obvious. My ears were the proof.
Gingerly, I reached up and touched my lobes. They still ached and throbbed, but I’d managed to forget about them for a bit. Being around my rogues helped me to forget a lot of the crap that I was dealing with here at Taylor Prep.
“Then what’s our move? As much as I’d like to keep you here all the time, Rosita, I know that we can’t just live in bed with you.” Jackie grabbed the last bite of croissant from my hand and popped it in his mouth before I could stop him.
“Well,” I said, shooting him a dirty look, “I guess that I need to move on with my plan a little earlier than I had thought. Either that or we need to prove to everyone that Brett is still alive. I honestly don’t know which one is going to be easier to do.”
“If you’d tell us your plan then we could help you.” Kaleb reached out and took my hand, gently running his thumb over my knuckles. “You know that we don’t like the fact that you’re trying to handle whatever it is on your own.”
“We can’t protect you if we don’t know what we’re protecting you against, Rosita.” Jackie took my other hand and squeezed it until I looked at him. “Let us take care of you. It’s what Brett would do if he were here right now.”
They were right and I knew it, but that didn’t mean that I wanted either of them to put themselves at risk for me. Hell, they already were doing that just by choosing my side in all of this. Brett would stand in front of a moving bus for me, and he certainly wouldn’t flinch away at protecting me from Amelia.
But I couldn’t do that to them.
I shook my head. “Not a chance, you guys. If I need you, if something goes wrong…if I can’t get to her the way that I think I can, then I’ll come to you, okay? I promise. I just…I need to be the one to handle this, if I can, and I need to do everything that I can to keep you two safe.”
Kaleb sighed. “That’s how
we feel about you, Rose. We’d do anything that we could to keep you safe. Let us help you.”
I wanted to accept their help. I loved all of my rogues more than I’d ever loved anyone – or anything. The thought hit me like a ton of bricks and I struggled to take a deep breath. I had to keep it together if I was going to save them, though. That was my only way to walk out of this alive.
And to keep them alive in the process.
Slowly, I shook my head. It was killing me to keep them out of the loop, but I knew that it was for the best. I just hoped that they could see it, too.
“Listen. I love you both, and I love Brett. That’s why I want to handle this on my own. If you guys want a little additional help getting him back first, then that’s fine. I can wait on taking care of Amelia as long as I know that you two have my back.”
“We’ll always have your back, Rosita.” Jackie leaned forward and kissed my forehead. The warmth from his kiss flowed down through my body and warmed me, giving me strength for what I knew was going to come.
“Okay. Then let’s find Brett first. Let’s bring him back. I had hoped that we could do both of the things at once, but it’s going to be too much. If we work together then we can get him back sooner.” I felt good about this, but I saw the look on Kaleb’s face. “What? You don’t like the plan?”
“Here’s the deal, Rose. You help us get Brett back first, okay? Then we’ll be stronger than ever and nobody will want to mess with you. But when he’s back, you have to let us help. You need us, Rose, and we need you. Let us help you take the harpies down. We don’t want you trying to do this on your own. Deal?”
Hesitating, I considered what he offered.
In my heart, though, I knew that it was the right choice, so I nodded. “Deal. I’ll let you all help me take down Amelia as soon as we have Brett back. But until then…”
“Until then we’ll make sure that you’re safe,” Jackie promised. “We won’t let you go anywhere on your own, okay?”
