“I tried to tell you, Carrie.” Josh believed this day was probably the best he’d ever had. And it’s only just beginning.
“Well I did say for only a minute.” And without another word, she got out.
“Thank God,” Jacob said, moving next to her. “My feet are freezing.”
Josh jumped out of the water. “Let’s go eat. That’ll warm us up.”
“Last one to the blanket has to clean up.” Carrie smiled and then raced to their picnic.
He and Jacob chased after her, but let her win. They didn’t intend for her to do anything but have a good time.
They all fell to the blanket, laughing.
“My feet are still freezing,” she said. “I’m not sure they will ever be warm again.”
“We can help with that,” he told her. “Can’t we, Jacob?”
“You bet we can.” His cousin clearly knew what he had in mind. “You’re not ticklish, are you?”
She grinned. “No. Well maybe. Honestly, I don’t know.”
He realized that she must have never had anyone tease her before. “We’ll be gentle,” he said, taking her left foot. “This is a test. This is only a test.” He ran his finger down the center of her foot.
She immediately jumped and started laughing. “I’m ticklish. I love being ticklish.”
“Oh you do, huh?” Jacob smiled, and then started tickling her ribs.
She started laughing hysterically, and to keep her in that beautiful state, Josh continued torturing her feet, adding to Jacob’s playfulness.
“Stop. Stop.” Her giggles came freely. “You both are going to get it.”
“Okay, sweetheart.” Josh eased up on the tickling. “We’ll be gentle.”
Jacob nodded, stopping tickling her ribs and grabbing her right foot. “For now, at least.”
Holding her left foot, Josh grinned, picturing what it would be like for him and his cousin to take Carrie to Phase Four. He and Jacob enjoyed being two of the club’s resident Doms. The BDSM lifestyle was natural to him and a big part of his life. To Jacob, the practice had helped heal some of the pain of his past.
“Mmm. That feels so good. Keep rubbing them like that. That way isn’t ticklish.”
It was obvious that Carrie was enjoying the foot massage and was beginning to truly relax.
Moving a little up her leg, he enjoyed the feel of her silky skin.
Jacob did the same.
She licked her lips and sighed. “So good. So very good.”
Unable to resist, he moved up and pressed his mouth to hers. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him in closer. She tasted sweet and warm. He wanted more of her. Much more.
By the time he finally released her, he could see that Jacob had also moved up beside her.
His cousin touched her on the cheek.
She turned to Jacob. “Two cowboys just for me? Destiny isn’t like anywhere else, is it?”
“No, it isn’t.” Jacob kissed her.
Feeling his cock harden in his jeans, he ran his hand up and down her sides but kept his eyes locked on them, unable to look away. Her skin was warm to the touch and he could see the passion inside her was growing.
Jacob released her, and she turned back to him, her eyes heavy with want.
Josh kissed her again, but this time he didn’t hold back his lust, sending his tongue past her sweet lips and into her warm, delicious mouth. As he deepened their kiss even more, he slipped his hand under her top and began caressing her breast.
Carrie moaned. His hot hunger multiplied. He wanted to be inside her, wanted her, needed her. Did she feel the same?
* * * *
Carrie’s mind spun with a million thoughts. “Should I let this go on? Is it wrong to want them this much?”
Josh continued devouring her lips, tangling his tongue with hers. Jacob’s hands roamed her body with touches that made her temperature rise.
In the past, her infrequent sex had only been to satisfy her body’s needs. One-night stands were all she’d ever allowed herself out of necessity. It hadn’t been difficult to keep her heart protected. She’d never bedded any man who would be more to her than just a temporary fulfillment, someone she would never see again.
But this was different. What was this? What was this overwhelming feeling Josh and Jacob were bringing out in her? She was out of control. I want them, God help me. I do.
She gazed into their eyes. Did they desire her as much as she did them? It was intense, so wonderfully intense.
Jacob ran his hand down her arm. “Carrie, you are so beautiful. I want you so much. More than anything I’ve ever wanted in my life.”
“And I need you.” Josh stared at her, continuing to massage her breasts.
“I don’t understand this. I’ve never felt this way before,” she confessed. “But I want you both so very much.”
Jacob moved his hand down her stomach to the button of her jeans. Slowly, he unfastened it and undid her zipper, coming so very close to her pussy. Closer. Closer. Even closer.
God, I want him to touch me.
Josh removed her top and bra and placed his mouth on her breast, pinching the nipple of the other one. She felt a shiver shake her entire body, and her desire grew. She moaned as the pressure began to build inside her.
“That’s it, sweetheart,” Jacob said, his commanding tone deep and full of lust. “That’s what we want to hear. We want to know how you feel. That way we can give you all the pleasure you desire.”
They were completely focused on her, something she’d never experienced before. Knowing that made her want them even more.
When she felt Jacob touch her pussy and Josh swirl his tongue around her taut nipples, uncontrollable moans came out of her and more moisture pooled between her legs.
Burning inside and out, she began unbuttoning Josh’s shirt. “I want to feel your body, Josh.”
He smiled and took off his shirt, tossing it to the edge of the blanket.
“My God, you are gorgeous.” She ran her fingers over his muscled chest and six-pack abs.
Quickly, he removed the rest of his clothes. His naked body was sheer male perfection. His large cock was erect, and she couldn’t resist touching it. She ran her fingers up and down his shaft and then circled the head with the tip of her index finger.
He groaned and his eyes widened, letting her know he was enjoying her touch. “Jacob, I want to feel her pussy.”
“You’re in for a special treat,” Jacob said, ripping off his clothes fast. His body was equally muscular as Josh’s, like a Greek god. His thick cock was stiff and the head passed his navel, it was so long. “Do you want to touch me, sweetheart?”
She whispered her answer. “Yes.”
He smiled and took her hand, guiding it to his dick. She wrapped her hand around it, but was unable to bring the tips of her fingers together.
“Stroke me, Carrie,” he commanded, and she obeyed instantly, unable to resist.
Josh started kissing his way down her body, starting with her neck, down to her breasts, slipping to her abdomen, and then finally she could feel his hot breath on her pussy.
She moved her hands up and down Jacob’s shaft, watched his eyelids narrow, and heard his breaths deepen.
Josh kissed her pussy, running his tongue through her flesh. “Your pussy is soft and warm, and dripping with sweet cream.”
Electricity ran through her body as he kissed her clit. Feeling his lips pressing on the little bundle caused the pressure to expand. Her desire to have them inside her continued to grow and grow, making her insane.
She continued pumping Jacob’s cock. “I want to taste you.”
Jacob smiled and touched her cheek. “And I want to feel your sweet mouth on my dick.”
She turned to the side and twirled her tongue on the tip of his cock. He responded with a big manly groan and wrapped his hands around the back of her head.
“And I want to feel your tight pussy clenching my dick,” Jacob said, reaching
for his jeans and pulling out a condom.
She swallowed Jacob’s cock, tightening her lips around his shaft. He rewarded her with another sexy groan.
Josh moved his body up her frame until the head of his cock was pressing on her swollen folds.
She burned so hot inside with sensations she’d never felt before. The pressure was too much, too powerful. She needed release in the worst way. She continued sucking on Jacob and wrapped her legs around Josh, a silent plea to him.
“I understand, honey,” Josh said, his words heavy and hot with hunger. And then he pushed his cock all the way inside her pussy, delivering a powerful shock throughout her body.
Her legs tightened around Josh’s frame and her mouth devoured Jacob’s cock. As Josh thrust his dick in and out, she felt it scraping against her G-spot.
She was close—so very close. Never had she been consumed by anything so powerful, and by their actions she knew Josh and Jacob were experiencing the same intensity of this moment. She matched every thrust that came from Josh into her pussy, swallowing Jacob’s shaft. The three of them were perfectly in sync, matching each other’s movements.
Josh sent his dick deeper and faster into her, pushing her to the edge. Control was no longer possible, and the overwhelming sensations inside her exploded into the most powerful release she’d ever experienced. Lines of electricity shot through her body, causing every part of her to shake. Her skin tingled and her insides burned.
Jacob’s hot eyes fixed on her. “I’m coming, sweetheart.”
She swallowed as much of him as she could, and then felt his seed hit the back of her throat.
He groaned and closed his eyes. “Yes. God. Yes.”
Josh’s final thrust into her went even deeper than before. “Fuck, yes. So good.”
She squeezed tight around his cock and felt him pulse deep inside her body.
Josh and Jacob remained on each side of her, holding her through the breathless moments until her shivers began to subside. God, I never knew sex could be this good.
“That was incredible,” Josh said, kissing her tenderly.
“I’ve never experienced anything like it,” she confessed.
Jacob stroked her hair. “Us either, sweetheart.
During their two horseback riding dates she’d found them charming, warm, open, and loved their humor. Now, after they’d made love to her she found them irresistible. What am I going to do?
Chapter Nine
When Willie saw the bitch ride up on horseback with two cowboys, he took his gun out of the glove box. But since Carrie wasn’t alone it was best to stay put until the men were gone.
Damn. He blew out a hot angry breath, feeling completely aggravated. Be patient, Willie. Things always work out for you. Just wait for the right time.
Would the two men leave soon? He hadn’t seen Matt, Carrie’s brother, or Sean—the MacCabe’s son—since they were children, but Trollinger’s folder had current photos of the two men. Even from this distance he could tell that the cowboy twosome with Carrie weren’t Matt or Sean. Who were the two cowboys then? Jealousy bubbled up from deep inside him.
He watched her dismount in front of the house that he’d been staking out. According to the information Trollinger had given him, Matt and Sean lived in the home with a woman they both claimed as their wife. Polygamists. Why am I not surprised?
He’d always known the fuckers had survived the fire, despite the authorities keeping their names out of the news. Just as he’d shoved Carrie into the truck fifty yards from the exit of his escape tunnel and a mile from the Belco compound, the two little bastards had climbed out of the hole he and Carrie had just left. He was certain the two boys hadn’t seen them. Matt and Sean had emerged coughing and rubbing their eyes as they sped away.
When Willie saw one of the cowboys kiss Carrie, the past melted away in his mind and rage rolled through his body. She’s mine!
Then the other man did the same, pressing his lips to hers.
Fucking slut! You were meant to be my wife.
It took all his willpower not to jump out of the rental car and start blasting at all three of them. But that wouldn’t serve his purpose. He wanted his money. And he wanted Carrie alive. She was his. If she’d been alone, he would’ve grabbed her. But she wasn’t alone.
The two men got back on their horses and Carrie handed them the reins of the beast she’d been riding.
Here comes my chance after all these years of searching for you.
A middle-aged woman and a young girl walked up the sidewalk to Carrie as the two men rode away. The three hugged each other and he saw the broad smile spread across Carrie’s face. Was the little girl Matt’s daughter? He couldn’t see any family resemblance from this distance but he bet the child was Carrie’s niece.
Two women and a little girl. I like those odds.
He grabbed the handle of the car door, and then stiffened as a patrol car turned on to the street up ahead. “This must be your lucky day, Carrie. Our reunion will have to be later. But I’ll be back.”
He started the engine and headed to his motel in the nearby town to work out how best to get to the woman who had betrayed him.
* * * *
Carrie slid down into the tub. The warm water felt good on her skin. It had been an amazing day. Josh and Jacob were such wonderful men.
She had never felt that kind of closeness with any man in her entire life. After making love with them, she’d enjoyed the delicious meal and wonderful conversation.
It was all too perfect. They were too perfect. She knew better than to let her expectations get out of control. She had to protect herself and her heart.
All the happiness she’d ever known was always short lived. Her mind drifted back to what had happened with Mrs. Kearns when she was a little girl. She’d believed that the dear woman loved her. But of course Willie used Mrs. Kearns’s affection for her to his advantage before skipping town. Leaving had devastated Carrie.
Will that happen to me again?
She closed her eyes and licked her lips, thinking about the tender kisses they’d given her before Janet had rushed out the door, inviting them to the barbeque. Josh and Jacob had left to take the horses back to Stone Ranch, but had promised to be back in time for dinner.
What if I’m wrong about them?
Was the best course of action to see Josh and Jacob again? They’d already asked her to dinner tomorrow night and also to join them at the paintball festivities coming up. What would they think of her when they learned that most of her memories were gone?
She took a deep breath and slipped her head under the water’s surface. What could she offer them? A woman without memories and a dark past. A woman with two million dollars in a red suitcase that didn’t belong to her.
She came up out of the water, knowing it was best not to get her hopes up. But reuniting with her brother had changed Carrie, and being welcomed into his family with open arms had caused her to let her guard down. Knowing what was best and doing it were two different things entirely. She was dreaming again about the future and about the possibility of finding love.
Am I setting myself up for heartbreak?
“They might not even show tonight. That’s the way it’s always turned out for me.”
Despite what her logical side told her, she couldn’t help wish Josh and Jacob would come.
Am I already falling for them? “If I’m honest with myself, I know I am.”
* * * *
Jacob brushed Pecos’s coat, and looked over at Josh, who was doing the same with Dusty.
Emmett Stone entered the barn. “Hey, fellas. How did the date with Matt’s sister go?”
Josh smiled. “Fantastic. Carrie is wonderful.”
“Don’t forget beautiful and smart.” Jacob had never had a better day in his life. He could tell that his cousin felt the same way.
“So let me see if I get this right. You had a good time?” Emmett laughed. “It sounds like two of Phase Four’s reside
nt Doms have been struck by cupid’s arrow.”
“I can’t stop thinking about her, if that’s what you’re saying,” Josh confessed.
“Me either,” Jacob admitted. “Our date with her was unbelievable. I can’t wait to spend more time with her.”
“So glad to hear that, and I’m sure my wife will be, too.” Emmett grinned. “Amber and her sister are meeting with all the women in town. After paintball is over, they want to throw a good old-fashioned Destiny welcome party for Carrie.”
“Hopefully she’s ready for that by then.” Though the date had gone perfectly, Jacob still sensed Carrie’s reluctance at meeting people at the diner. “Amber and all the ladies might need to check with Jena first. I believe Carrie feels a little overwhelmed, especially because she’s been on her own for so long without any family.”
“Em, he’s right about that,” Josh said. “She just needs a little more time to get adjusted.”
“I’ll let Amber know, fellas. When are you going to see Carrie again?”
Jacob continued brushing Pecos. “Jena’s mom invited us over for a barbeque tonight.”
“Tonight? What time?”
“Seven.”
Emmett looked at his watch. “It is five past six now. You two better get going. I’ll finish up with the horses.”
“Thanks,” Josh said.
Emmett and his two brothers, Cody and Bryant, were some of the best men Jacob had ever known. “We appreciate this, Em.”
“Don’t give it another thought.” Emmett took the brush from him and smiled. “Don’t want to show up smelling like a barn now do you?”
* * * *
Carrie helped Janet and Jena make the sides for the barbeque, which had turned into a full-on family celebration. Matt, Sean, and Kimmie were out back. The guys were grilling the meat, and Kimmie was playing with her white toy poodle, Happiness.
Janet peered into the oven. “The pies are about done. Another five minutes.”
Jena got out her seven-layer salad. “Mom, we have enough food for fifty people.”
