Wriggling out from under Cade, she swung her feet to the ground and held her hand for him, pulling him with her when he took it. Naked waist up, she strolled past Luke, ignoring him. "Let's do something fun in the bedroom," she whispered, none too quietly to Cade.
"I'm all ears," he replied, hurrying her along with taps to her bottom until she was giggling as they ran up the stairs. Her sensitive ears heard the click-clack of the keys stop.
Yeah, she had Luke. Just a few moments more...
Cade's hands slid around her waist, unsnapping the button of her jeans and drawing her zipper down. "Somehow I don't think you want time alone, just the two of us," he whispered.
She spun in his arms, wrapping her own arms around his neck. "I have something better in mind," she whispered in return, with a cheeky wink.
Cade shoved her jeans down and helped her step out. He cast off his shirt and shoved his own jeans down as he pushed her back on the bed. His cock sprang out hard and ready for her.
"Oh, yeah?" He licked his lips.
Kneeling on the bed, she reached for Cade, drawing him to her. Kissing him deeply, she felt the surge of arousal heating her, sending hot waves south to her pussy. She ran her hands over his fine torso, bent her head to the silver ring at his nipple and sucked it in, enjoying his low moan in response. She let it go, kissed the hard nub and turned to Luke, lounging in the doorway with his arms crossed.
Yeah, she knew she had him.
"Come here," she said softly and held her hand to him, pulling him onto the bed as he approached her. He captured her mouth an instant later, his tongue seeking hers to mesh with delightful abandon. Oh, the man could kiss all right. "You're wearing too much," she whispered, her hands seeking the hem of his t-shirt and running under to caress his skin. The t-shirt whipped over his head and went flying.
"So are you," he murmured back, his fingers skimming the top of her panties as he kissed his way from her mouth to her throat then to her ear lobe, sucking it between his sharp teeth.
The mattress indented behind her as Cade settled at her back, kneeling with his legs splayed so she rested in between them. "We can help with that," he murmured, his hands sliding around her waist, hooking under her arms while Luke tugged her panties down her legs, tossing them behind him.
"Much, much better," murmured Luke, sinking to his knees. She moaned the instant his hot tongue swiped her pussy. He looked up, licked his lips and grinned. "Nice."
She arched against Cade, enjoying the distraction of the male wolf nuzzling her neck while her body sizzled with the erotic nature of Luke's languid licks. Fingers joined his tongue, searching for the bundle of nerves that he knew would have her writhing and panting.
"More," she whispered. She had no doubt they could both smell the arousal wafting from her as her heated pussy waited for attention. The prospect of sex sizzled in the air. Raising her hands to wrap around Luke's neck, she drew him to her, kissing him almost desperately, wondering if she would ever be able to get enough of him. His hands cupped her breasts, his thumbs teasing her hard nipples, gently pinching until she moaned into his mouth, then again, as one of Cade's hands slipped from her waist, his fingers skimming her hip, then her thigh, sliding to her pussy, searching for her entrance, circling it.
She knew she was already wet, as much from their kissing and touching, as from her own anticipation of what was to come.
Cade growled his awareness as he kissed her neck, his fingers having no trouble sliding to the sensitive pearl of her clit. He found it easily, pressing and rubbing until she had to squeeze her eyes shut and breathe hard. She lifted slightly, allowing Cade easier access as his fingers progressed further between her lips, stroking and rubbing until she actually considered begging him to take her here and now. Instead, she simply ground against his hand, gasping as a finger slipped inside, stroking the walls of her channel, then joined by another to thrust.
"More," she said again, louder this time, and was rewarded with another finger, Luke's, working in unison with his friend to pleasure her.
Cade's thick cock butted against her back as she nestled against him. He rubbed gently and she smiled, knowing it was her turning him on. Reaching forward, she sought Luke's length and he groaned as she touched him through the denim. Her hands worked with Luke’s as they worked together to grapple with his belt and unsnap his button fly. Finally naked, she reached for him eagerly, wrapping her hand around his length and pumping it. She wanted to taste him, to feel his cock in her mouth, to enjoy the taste of the beads of pre-cum that already seeped from his head before he sank his cock deep within her. She rubbed the drops with her thumb, lubricating his head and leaned forwards, allowing Cade to bend her towards his friend as if he could guess exactly what she wanted.
Without warning, they switched places. Luke knelt on the bed behind her, his hand slowly pumping his cock as he waited for her while Cade stood in front of her, his cock at a perfect height for her to grip the edge of the bed and reach forward.
Dipping her head towards him, she first licked the underside of his cock, from the base to the fat head, pausing to kiss the tip. Licking her lips, she opened her mouth and sucked him in. It was impossible for her to take his whole length, he was simply too big so instead she wrapped a hand around the base of his shaft and worked both her hand and mouth in rhythm to pleasure him.
She vaguely registered a primal growl and a surge of excitement rippled through her. There was something deeply sexy about a man who could barely wait for her, something even more exciting about knowing she was now naked between two of them, their hands deliciously navigating her body.
Hands insinuated themselves between her thighs, pushing her legs apart. Clara moaned around Cade's cock as Luke’s mouth found her pussy, first blowing heated breath over it before a tongue swiped her lips. Cade answered her moan with a gentle thrust of his hips and she relaxed her throat allowing him deeper passage.
Luke continued to lap her pussy, two fingers working their way within to pump her sheath, twisting and rubbing until she was mewling her pleasure. The fingers disappeared and before she could express her disappointment, the fat head of his cock nudged her opening, sliding inside tortuously slowly until he sank fully inside her, his groin nestled against her ass.
Cade's fingers coiled in her curly locks as he held her mouth to him. In unison they began to thrust; Luke pulling out and sliding into her pussy again while she sucked Cade as he gently pumped her lips. The feeling was fabulous. Two hard cocks entering her, thrusting repeatedly but taking their time, not rushing it. She ran her hands over Cade's muscular thighs, her fingers digging in until he groaned. She couldn't help it, especially not when Luke leaned over her, his stomach pressed to her back, as he sought her clit and played with it, ensuring she was a shivering mess of fizzling nerves.
"You feel so good," he whispered, planting a kiss against her spine.
"So good I don't know if I can last," added Cade. He paused thrusting and she took the time to release him with a wet pop, resuming licking his length, enjoying both the taste and feel of his heated skin. Behind her, Luke shifted, stopped, as if sensing something different was about to happen.
"I want you both," Clara said, with resolution, as she struggled to keep her panting under control. "I want you both and I want you now. I want both of you together. Inside me. Fucking me."
She heard Luke take a sharp intake of air then his cock slid from her. Keeping her eyes on Cade, she pulled him to the bed and onto his back. Planting a hand on his chest she crawled astride him, settling her wet and primed pussy over his rigid cock.
Straddling him, she wrapped a hand around his cock and held him still, teasing him by sliding his cock through her lips to coat him in her juices before rising and falling on him, taking him a little at a time.
"Tease," he growled through gritted teeth, before grabbing her by the waist and thrusting upwards, impaling her on his length. She had to grab his shoulders to stop from falling and he held her tight, push
ing into her over and over, his hands skimming across her back then down to her ass. He held her cheeks. "You heard the woman, Luke. She wants both of us."
Luke wasted no time in squeezing a dollop of lube onto her ass, sliding it down her seam and massaging it into her rosette, one finger slipping inside and making her shiver all over again. They prepared her gently with a tag team of Cade's cock pushing devastatingly slowly into her pussy, while Luke massaged her anus with his finger, carefully adding another digit. Before she could make another demand, his fingers disappeared, replaced with his cock, nudging at her opening. She pressed back on him.
"Go easy, sweetheart. I don't want to hurt you," Luke murmured. "Take it nice and slow."
She relaxed as they murmured their encouragement, allowing Luke to slide inside her body until both cocks were buried inside her.
For a moment all she could do was hold still, close her eyes and concentrate on breathing while the pair of dicks inside her made her feel incredibly full.
"We're going to start moving now. Me first, then Luke," Cade told her. "Just hold on for the ride."
Instantly they began to move, synchronizing their thrusts so as one slid out, the other would slide in, she knew it was unlikely they would last long and neither would she. The friction was too good, the feeling of fullness too exciting, the sound of them both gasping as they took her too intoxicating.
Faster the rhythm went. They gripped her tighter and the sounds of panting and moaning filled the room. Fingers sought her clit and pinched it. She came hard, her juices soaking Cade's cock. Hands held her as she writhed between them while her inner walls clenched their dicks like fists, milking them.
"I can't stop," groaned Luke. "Fuck. I'm going to come. Now!"
Cade held still, fully seated inside her as Luke came, slamming into her hard, repeatedly, until he shot his seed deep into her with a primal roar. He held her waist until he stopped the shallow thrusts of his climax.
"You want me to stay inside you while Cade comes, sweetheart?"
"Yes, don't go," Clara cried through ragged breaths.
Like Cade before, Luke held still as his friend began to move, seeking his own release.
It was almost too much for Clara to allow Cade to continue, especially when Luke's hands roamed to her breasts, teasing an over-sensitized nipple, but she wanted this. She wanted Cade to enjoy her body as she climaxed again, heat spiraling through her. "Oh, oh, oh!" she moaned over and over, interceding the gasps with whispering their names as she came a second time.
Without warning, her incisors lengthened and she nipped the soft flesh of his neck, feeling beads of copper blood settle on her tongue. With a final thrust, Cade came with a shout and bit her neck, the bonding ritual explosive as it surged through them. He held her body tight to him as he shot inside her. Over and over he spurted inside her until, with a final groan, he was spent and their lives were entwined forever.
When they both eased out of her, she fell in a boneless heap across Cade, too exhausted to do anything but lie in his arms. He drew his legs up to encase her body and stroked her hair as it spilled across his chest. Another hand landed lightly on her back, stroking gently. She turned to Luke, reached across to him and bared her neck. He paused for the briefest of moments before taking her offer of submission, of mating and biting her, lapping the tiny wound clean and offering her the same opportunity to mark him. Just as the first flash of mating with Cade had filled her with his love, she felt fit to burst as she absorbed the power of Luke’s love and adoration. She could only help the bond filled them, made them feel as alive as it did her. She loved these two men with every piece of her being, always would now that she bore their marks, and they, hers.
Through it all they had barely spoken. What did one say after such an awakening? Thank you? Awesome! I love you?
A smile played on Clara’s lips as the perfect comment sprang to mind. "I want to do that again," she said and held on to them as Luke's rumbling laughter spread through him, then to Cade, and finally enveloped her in their love.
Chapter Eighteen
A month later...
For the first time ever, Clara didn't have the same surge of anxiety she normally had when she heard Stanton's truck moments before it turned onto her driveway. Instead, there was a brief moment of anger that he dared to come onto her property again, dared to interrupt her tranquility, and then resigned annoyance. Finally, a smile slipped onto her lips. It was time for that man to get his comeuppance and she was more than happy to serve it.
Stanton stepped out of his truck, a self-satisfied grin on his face, and slid on his hat. As he approached the house, he was flanked on either side by his burly bully men, the two of them flexing their biceps. It was almost comical.
A year ago her heart would be beating faster in panic. Now, Clara didn't bother to get up from the swing as the loathsome man stepped onto her porch and leaned against the railings, looking down at her. Well, she did appreciate Cade taking her hand in his as they waited.
"I see you've had some problems with the barn," was Stanton's opening gambit.
"Some asshole set it on fire," she replied smartly.
Stanton looked around, wrinkling his nose at the neatly clipped lawn framing either side of the freshly graveled driveway and the fresh planter of cheerful mums parked by her front door. "Accidents happen," he drawled. "Shame it devalued the property. Fire can be such a hazard."
"What do you want, Stanton? Something tells me you're not here to commiserate," she replied in a tired tone that should tell him she wasn't interested. As per usual, it fell on ignorant ears.
"That I'm not," he agreed. "Actually I had a meeting with the bank just two weeks ago and it seems you're struggling to pay the mortgage. I hear the land taxes are high, too. So I've come to make you a final offer and this time, you're going to take it."
"And if I don't?"
"If you don't, the bank will repossess the property and I'll buy it anyway."
"What's your price?" Clara asked, sitting up and leaning forward as if she gave a damn. Next to her Cade put his foot down, stopped the swing moving.
Stanton looked at her in surprise. He clearly hadn't expected her to acquiesce so easily. He named a figure that sent laughter surging through her. It was even less than she and Colton paid for the place. He had some nerve!
"No, thanks," she muttered through her laughter. "Not interested. Not even slightly."
"Then I guess I'll see you at the auction. The bank plans to repossess in under a month."
"There won't be any auction." Clara got to her feet and faced the man she loathed. She felt braver than ever. "I know about your dealings with the bank but you don't seem to have the full story. See, I'm not going to sell."
"Oh, yes you are. You don't have two nickels to rub together."
"No," Clara said again. "I'm not selling. And I'm not too happy with the bank either. I moved my money ten days ago. To save you the bother of pestering your spies, the mortgage is paid off too thanks to the insurance money coming through. You know if we hadn’t been looking for the insurance papers for the barn, I might never have come across the life insurance policy my husband and I took when we bought the farm." That had been Colton's final gift to her: an insurance policy that would pay off the farm, lock, stock and smokin’ barn, if anything happened to him.
In her anguish, she hadn't even thought about the papers until Luke had found them while the three of them went through her paperwork, right after they made her an intriguing offer. "Actually, seeing as you're so interested, I've taken on two partners who are buying into the farm," she continued, trying not to enjoy Stanton's outraged face as his plans fell apart. "The original plans for a wildlife sanctuary are going ahead. And that barn that so helpfully burned down? Well, turns out it's a good thing because the insurance money will help go towards the new purpose-built learning center."
"Rubbish," spat Stanton, but she could see the worry in his eyes. "Where could you get two partners with
that kind of money?"
"Me for one. The farm stays with my wife and me," said Cade, rising to stand with her just as Luke exited the house and came to join them on the porch. Luke playfully tossed a hammer in one hand, catching it by the handle only to send it spinning in the air again. In the other he held a slim folder.
"And me," added Luke. "This is our home and we don't want you on it."
"You need to sell!" Stanton insisted, his voice rising a notch.
"No, Stanton, we don't," said Clara. "The farm is ours free and clear. Luke, didn't you want to tell Stanton something?"
"You mean about the fire?"
She nodded, enjoying their play acting. "That's right."
"Honey, do you mean the bit about the cameras we installed around the property after all that suspicious damage?" asked Cade, squeezing her hand so lightly it was imperceptible to anyone watching. She returned the squeeze, noting the amusement in his voice as he toyed with Stanton.
"That's right, the cameras that take photos, even at night." She turned the weight of her gaze on Stanton, watched him blanch.
"Oh, those pictures!" It was almost comical the way Cade landed a palm on his forehead. "Funny you should mention them but don't we keep a copy of them in that folder Luke is holding?"
Luke grinned. Opening the folder, he extracted several eight by tens, leafing through them before passing them to Clara. He held one back. "This is my favorite," he said, passing it to Stanton. "It's a good likeness, don't you think?"
Clara watched as Stanton flinched, his jaw twitching. She knew exactly which photo Stanton held. It was the one of him stood at the open door of the barn as gasoline flowed from the canister in his hand. In it, he looked straight at the house, ensuring the cameras got a perfectly clear shot that was date and time stamped.
