“Is the phrase you’re looking for ‘a woman’ or maybe ‘too innocent’? She puts up a good front. I’ll give you that, but she could be behind it,” Sephanie said and gave a distinct humph.
He knew better than to agree to either of those options. “No, she doesn’t seem focused enough to do it. On top of that, she always seems to put herself first. I don’t think she’d risk her freedom.”
“Yeah, believe that. I’d bet she has something to do with these attacks.” Sephanie’s voice softened. “If it turns out she is part of this, I will enjoy saying I told you so. I don’t know how that witch has so many men fooled. She’s mean and might be more ruthless than her father.”
“And if you’re wrong, will you apologize for accusing her in public?” Teague raised an eyebrow. Her assessment of Lillie surprised him. What did she see about the woman that he didn’t? He’d have to ask her about it when she wasn’t quite so tense about the subject. If he was missing something, he wanted to know about it.
Sephanie paused as she considered. “She kissed one of my men. She’s lucky I didn’t rip her away from you by her hair. If I’m wrong, I might speak to her privately, but she should consider it a learning experience. Don’t mess with another woman’s men.”
“I think I adore a jealous woman.” Teague guided the skimmer into the orchard.
“You’ll like me more if I don’t have to peel women off you at all,” she said.
Chapter Twenty
Sephanie eyed the three men sitting on the brown couch. They were planning something. She didn’t know what they intended to do, but she felt hunted. She had most of the afternoon.
After she returned to the orchard with Berenger and Teague, the men escorted her inside. She took a shower. Although she invited them to join her, neither one of them had. By the time she was finished bathing, Kassius had arrived. She thought they’d talked about something while she enjoyed that warm water.
They were solicitous for the rest of the afternoon but hadn’t pressed. Every time she moved, their watchful stares tracked her. She became suspicious when they’d kept their distance. Maybe she’d gotten spoiled over the past few days, but she liked them touching her, not watching her.
On top of that, occasionally two of them would leave the room and return shortly. Something made them tense. She wished they’d start talking to her about it. Whatever worried them couldn’t be that bad. Her eyes widened as she realized she should take her own advice. She needed to stop sitting here, growing tense.
“What’s wrong?” She rose from her seat in a chair, easing around the low table positioned in the center of the seating area and to an open space near the creamy yellow wall and a big window. The anxiety built within her, and she had to move. She couldn’t wait for them to tell her.
The three men looked at one another and then back to her. She’d apparently caught them off guard. Was she supposed to be blind? She’d have to be not to notice their behavior or the tension in their bodies.
“Nothing’s wrong.” Teague smiled.
She shook her head at that deflection. “What’s troubling you or on your mind? You three are quiet and acting strangely. Don’t tell me it’s nothing.”
Kassius chuckled. “We’ve been thinking. You’ve been happy with us over the past week?”
“Yes, I’ve been happy.” She frowned, not sure where this discussion was going.
“Come sit.” Kassius moved over to make room for her.
She didn’t know if that was a good idea. They were too intense for such a simple question. Their eyes locked on her. She had a feeling they’d come after her if she tried to walk out of the room. A larger goal existed behind the query, but she couldn’t watch them grow more stressed. After deciding she had to know what caused their obvious worry, she walked over and sat down on the couch.
“All right, what has you three so tense?” She looked at Kassius since he’d been the one to speak.
“We’re not tense. We wanted to give you time to relax after the confrontation before we talked to you tonight.” Berenger put a hand on her thigh.
“That might have been more effective if you’d acted normally. You haven’t kissed me since we returned to your house. That did not help me relax. You touch me, maybe just my shoulder as you walk past. Not this afternoon. It left me wondering,” she said.
“A touch or kiss wouldn’t have satisfied us. We’re after more than that.” Teague got up and moved behind the couch. His hands rested on her shoulders before slowly beginning to massage there.
“And when I invited you into the shower, why didn’t at least one of you join me? It seemed a perfectly clear invitation to sex to me.” She glanced back over her shoulder.
“But we expect more than sex.” Kassius cupped her cheek and turned her so she looked at him again.
“We’re living together. That’s more.” She began to see what they intended to ask. Damn, they were back to the argument again. She wouldn’t hurry that decision. Not since there was so much tension and possible danger around them at the moment. She’d thought they’d settled this argument.
“You know what we want,” Berenger said. “Don’t try to act oblivious.”
She turned and glared at him. He should be the one most aware of the fact it was too soon to talk about this again.
“You said you knew I wasn’t going to change my mind about this. That arguing about it wouldn’t help.” She took a deep breath and tried to remain calm. She felt ambushed.
“We didn’t know you trusted us.” Kassius’s deep voice drew her attention back to him. “He didn’t lie to you.”
They’d latched on to that one detail. She trusted them, but she’d had faith in them earlier, even if she hadn’t told them. It didn’t change anything. It was about time together.
She exhaled slowly. “This isn’t about that or our feelings. We’ve been together for two stress-filled weeks. I don’t think it’s long enough for a lifetime commitment.”
“There’s more than strong feelings, Seph.” Teague drew his fingers over her neck.
Whenever she was near Kassius, Teague, and Berenger, her body burned. Lust flared high, but more emotion accompanied that strong physical hunger. The feelings were too intense. She couldn’t take them lightly. There was still so much they didn’t know about one another.
Kassius stood. She clutched his shoulders at the unexpected movement. She looked around as she heard a thud. Berenger rose from his seat, and Teague strode around the couch.
“What are you doing?” She glanced up at Kassius.
“We intend to show you what we want.” Kassius barely looked at her while he carried her through the house.
Her eyebrows rose. What sneaky tactic did they plan to use? They’d stated their case, questioned her view, and probed, but the discussion hadn’t come near an argument. As he strode into the hallway, she realized he was carrying her toward the bedroom and where that would probably lead, but that didn’t worry her.
Berenger entered before them and walked over to one of the stands near the bed. He pulled out a small tube. Kassius stopped next to the bed but didn’t lower her to her feet. She looked at the container and realized Berenger held lube. They definitely had plans.
Teague stepped up beside Kassius. “We plan to show you what is waiting when you do accept the commitment.”
“You’re part of our lives.” Kassius released her legs and let her feet drop to the floor. “In every part of our lives.”
She still didn’t completely understand what he meant. She lived with them. There weren’t many parts of their lives she hadn’t seen. They hadn’t seemed to be holding back with her or hiding anything.
“Get undressed, baby,” Teague urged as he began taking off his clothing.
She slowly took off her shirt but was far more interested in watching them. The leisurely appreciation of their muscled flesh being revealed slowed her progress considerably. All three men stripped out of their clothes and stood waiting for her as s
he dropped her shirt to the floor.
“Baby, you’ve fallen behind, and your mouth is going to be busy while Teague and I get you ready. Berenger’s going to watch as we fuck you.” Kassius came up behind her and unfastened the seal on her pants. “Now, out of your clothes.”
“I think I like these plans.” She looked over at Berenger. Her gaze slid down to his cock.
“You’ll love the action. They’re going to make sure you’re ready. I’m going to enjoy watching while they play, because by the time they finish, I’ll be ready for a second round.” Berenger sat on the bed.
Chapter Twenty-One
Sephanie smiled. Kassius and Teague might not have to try hard. The thought of two of them fucking her sent hunger surging through her. She could feel heated, slick moisture slipping from her pussy. She pushed her pants over her hips, but they caught on her shoes. With a frustrated groan, she kicked out of them before she took off her pants.
“All right, Sephanie, we’re going to start.” Kassius drew his fingers over her cheek.
“My interest has been aroused.” She slipped her arms around his waist and snuggled up against his hard body.
He lifted her and put her on the bed. “On your hands and knees, baby.”
“Here’s the lube.” Teague placed a tube on the bed out of Sephanie’s reach.
Kassius drew his palms across her back and over her buttocks. “Teague’s going to slide under you and taste those pretty breasts while you start teasing Berenger. Make him suffer.”
She had no objections to that. The thought of sucking on Berenger sent a rush of desire sweeping through her. Definitely a great start.
Teague slithered under her. He drew his palms over her sides in a slow stroke. His tongue flicked out and grazed her nipple. She shivered, and a flush of heat washed over her body. The soft, warm puff of his breath feathered over her breast, but her body was so sensitized she felt the soft puffs as intensely as a firm touch. She licked her lips, amazed at the strength of desire. He’d barely touched her, and she was wet and aching.
The bed shifting drew her focus away from Teague. Berenger stopped in front of him. He combed his fingers through her hair. The look in his eyes made her breath catch. More than sexual hunger lay in that gaze. She saw love. It was the first time he’d shown his feelings so openly. The realization pushed her to give him what he needed.
She leaned forward and slowly circled her tongue around the head of his cock. She felt a slight sting when his fingers clenched in her hair. Berenger tipped her head back.
“Don’t tease me,” Berenger said. His tone roughened. “I don’t think it’s going to take very long for Kassius and Teague to prepare you. Kassius will work his fingers into your ass to stretch you, and then they’re going to make sure you know you’re the center of our lives.”
She loved that sexy rumble but returned her concentration to the shaft in front of her. He was right. They wouldn’t need much time to excite her. The thought of fucking them both at the same time caused heat to simmer through her.
“Let me see.” Teague’s voice came from underneath her. His mouth was so close to her nipple the vibrations rippled over the skin.
The sweep of fingertips dancing across her pussy coincided with the moment he closed his mouth around her tight nipple. She gasped. Berenger’s cock bumped against her lips as if reminding her she should be paying attention to him.
She didn’t torment him any longer. With a small lap, she took the head into her mouth. He groaned and rolled his hips forward. She took the shaft deeper. Determined to give him what he needed, she sucked and teased him with her tongue. The sound of his moans and the feel of his fingers tightening in her hair urged her to pull more response from him.
When he brushed his fingers over her clit, she felt torn between pleasuring Berenger and savoring every delicious sensation Teague gave her. The light touch sent sparks dancing through her. She pressed into it, wanting a firmer contact.
“Wet and slick. I think we’ve discovered another of her fantasies.” Teague released her nipple long enough to say those words but immediately turned his efforts back to the peak.
Berenger’s cock nudged the back of her throat, making her focus on him again. She worked her mouth over his length. The feel of cool liquid being poured along the crease of her buttocks almost caused her to pull away from Berenger.
Berenger’s hand clenched, keeping her mouth where he wanted it. “Kassius is putting on the lube, baby. He’ll need it while he works his fingers into your sweet ass.”
The image those words brought to mind caused her stomach to quiver and her heart to race. This entire night really was right out of her fantasies.
Reality was so much better. She moaned when Teague played with her nipple, using teeth and lips, but that small torment was nothing compared to the feel of his fingers dancing across her clit.
“Move your mouth, baby. I’m sure what he’s doing feels good, but I need your mind on me.” The tone of Berenger’s voice sounded strained.
He gave a nudge of his hips. She realized she’d been so focused on what Teague was doing she’d stopped sucking on the thick shaft in her mouth. She tightened her lips as she took him completely to the back of her throat. She thought she heard a hum of satisfaction.
The knowledge of the pleasure she was giving him combined with the arousal Teague was building. She barely noticed what Kassius was doing until she felt pressure at her back entrance. She tensed and moaned, almost pulling her mouth away.
“Relax, Sephanie. You’re going to love this. I’m sure of it.” Berenger stopped moving, and his fingers stroked through her hair. “Teague.”
She had little time to wonder what he wanted Teague to do before Teague’s touch on her clit stiffened. She noticed once the fingers pressing on the tight pucker of her ass pushed inside, but the delicious sensation kept her from tensing too much. Teague’s strokes sent desire shooting straight to her core and pulled her mind away from the pressure. As the feeling built inside her, she began to focus on Berenger. She wanted to take him with her.
She feasted on him, using her mouth, teeth, and tongue to advantage. He groaned again. Intent on him, she bobbed her head. The fingers pushing deeper into her ass drew a moan from her, which pulled a rough sound from Berenger.
“You’re killing me, baby. I need to come.” Berenger’s fingers guided her head over his dick.
She firmed her lips, sucking hard, and her desire didn’t lessen in spite of the strangeness of the fingers moving in her ass. Teague fluttered her clit lightly but didn’t send her over the edge. He kept her poised there, aching and yearning.
Berenger rocked forward, pressing his cock deeper with each stroke. She took him as deep as she could. Her hips undulated, seeking a harder touch from the fingers tormenting her. The movement caused the fingers within her backside to sink deeper.
Berenger came on a harsh groan. She swallowed the salty essence and continued to stroke her tongue over the sensitive flesh. He slowly pulled his cock from her mouth. She saw the tremble in his hands as he eased back. She felt an intense satisfaction that she’d brought him pleasure, but need pounded through her body.
“They’re ready for you, baby.” Berenger’s fingers stroked over her hair. “I’m going to enjoy watching.”
Teague slipped out from under her and moved up the bed. He sprawled on his back. He held out his hand. She crawled up and straddled his hips. He clasped her waist with one hand and guided her down onto his cock.
Her breath caught as the thick shaft slowly pushed into her pussy. She braced her hands on his shoulders. The urge to ride him until they were both screaming pulsed through her. She could feel Kassius crawling up the bed behind her.
She drew in a shaky breath, trying to fight off nervousness. Kassius’s hand smoothed across her buttocks. She looked over her shoulder and found him smiling down at her.
“I stretched you, baby, but I’ll go as slowly as possible. Teague, keep her heated, but don�
�t let her go over.” Kassius leaned close.
Teague slipped his hand down to her pussy. His finger settled over her clit. She pressed down, aching for the intense peak. Before she could do more than that, Kassius urged her down to Teague’s chest.
She tensed. Her mind automatically flew to what he planned to do. Before she had time to think or say something, Teague began stroking her clit. The touch forced all thought out of her head. She moaned and felt her inner muscles tighten around Teague’s cock. Teague groaned.
“Don’t move too much, or you’re going to make me lose control. I want Kassius to be inside you first. Relax. We’ll make sure it doesn’t hurt.” Teague pressed a kiss against her lips.
When something nudged against her tight rosette, she took a deep breath. Teague swept his fingers over the sensitive bundle again. When she pushed down against that contact, he stopped.
Kassius slowly probed before retreating. Each time, he went deeper. The tissue stretched around his cock, feeling tight, but Teague kept strumming her clit. The two sensations mixed. She clutched at Teague’s shoulder. Her hips tilted, and she found herself rocking back into Kassius.
“That’s it. I’m almost there.” Kassius stroked his hand over her hip. “Look to the side, baby.”
She turned her head and saw Berenger right next to them. She reached out, wanting him to be part of this. He took her hand and drew it to his thigh. She skimmed her fingers across his hot skin. Teague plucked at her clit, sending shivers down her spine. She moaned but inched her hand forward until she grasped Berenger’s cock.
She pumped his cock slowly. He groaned, but his hand covered hers, controlling the motion.
Kassius withdrew until the head of his cock remained inside her, but pulled her back. The decadent sensation of two cocks moving inside her caused her muscles to tighten as the hunger built. Teague surged upward as Kassius guided her hips down.
Every brush of skin against skin increased the need racing inside her. She moaned as Teague grazed her clit. The sensation sent a spark shooting straight to her core, but it wasn’t enough to take her over the edge.
