Slow and steady with a look of tenderness in his eyes, he would make love to her, but with each stroke, she would know it was the beast who held her, the savage who took her as no man ever had. Knox would be the perfect sour to Jace’s sweetness. That’s what I want.
Instead, she had Cody obliterating those thoughts from her mind as his mouth lowered a second time to the weeping wound that had become her pussy. It spasmed beneath his kiss, trying to suck him into its empty depth.
A raw chuckle teased her flesh moments before his lips locked on to the perky little bundle of nerve endings. In the blink of an eye, he went from hesitant to savage, attacking her clit with a ferocity that had her writhing on the toy buried deep inside her. Then it moved, slid free, only to plunge back hard and deep. Amanda screamed as her whole body shattered under the hard lash of pleasure’s pain.
Cody took her fast and rough, driving her right over the edge of sanity in a mindless frenzy until her world once again rocked with the explosion of fireworks. This time, all the brilliantly burning bulbs washed over her in an endless pelting of molten pleasure.
Slowly, the brilliant flares twinkled into dust and left her cold and alone in the blackness. Amanda had no sense of where Cody had disappeared. Along with his loss, she felt empty and knew he took his toy with him. It was both a relief and a disappointment. Her body went limp, satiated from the pleasure it had already endured. Still, her spirit yearned for more.
“You know, Amanda…” He spoke directly over her as his hand came to rest on the indent of her sweaty side. It slid downward, tracing the curve her hip and the flare of her thighs. “You are such a beautiful girl. I don’t know why you worry about being watched. If I were to open those doors, every man who saw you would be jealous of me.”
Amanda flinched. Not from his words but from the brush of his hand as it slid up her inner thigh and through her over-sensitized slit. Tickling her clit with its pass, he set off a new round of mini pops of delight through her body.
When he reached her waist, his other hand appeared, and he lifted her clean off the table. As he carried her, she prayed he didn’t intend to take her outside. He wouldn’t do that to her. Even if in the moment it added a dark thrill, Cody knew it would violate her trust in him and end their arrangement.
He knew it. Didn’t he? She betrayed him not once but twice today. Amanda was the fool to think their arrangement had a future, and this would be his ultimate revenge.
He would do it, too. Cody had no mercy she knew of.
That certainty sparked to life the fight in her. This was one line she wouldn’t let him lead her across, and she fought back, twisting in his hold and breaking free to crash to the floor. He was on her instantly. Before she could even recover from her hard landing, he twisted her arms behind her back and bound with the stiff leather of his belt.
That became the least of her worries as the barn door creaked open. The slight whine had her instantly stilling. Somebody just entered the barn. She could sense it. Danger and heat emanated out in waves from the shadowed figure in her mind. She could almost feel him lurking there. The knowledge paralyzed her, leaving her defenseless to Cody’s rough passions.
The fight triggered the worst of his barbaric tendencies, and he showed no gentleness as he forced her thighs wide and lined up the bulbous head of his cock to her dripping cunt. In one smooth, hard thrust, he embedded his full length into her. If he would just fuck her, maybe, just maybe, Amanda could forget the stranger in the room, but Cody didn’t.
Instead, he stayed still, making her whole body prickle to life as she knelt there, bowed down before Cody, his cock embedded deep in her body. Amanda could only image the sight they made for the interloper. The very idea only made her sheath tighten down over Cody’s full length, milking his dick in excitement.
Cody read her body perfectly and shredded the last shroud of her modesty as he looped his arms under her shoulders and lifted her onto his lap. The new position put her entire body on display, fully open and exposed. Amanda trembled with a need spiced with the forbidden pleasure in knowing she was being watched.
“I don’t know why you fight it,” Cody breathed into her ear. “I can tell how much this moment excites you. You’re so lovely with your skin all pink and flushed with your lust. Do you think he watches and isn’t tempted almost beyond his control to touch you?”
Amanda swallowed. Cody said “he,” so somebody was in the room. The reality sunk deep into her stomach, not quelling her arousal but inflaming it. The sensation intensified as Cody petted a hand over her stomach, making her muscles quiver and contract.
“So soft, one touch would never be enough. Not for any man. And these breasts,” his hand slid up to cup one, “so plump, topped with beautiful rosy nipples. My mouth waters to take a taste, to bite down on this tip and suck it deep into my mouth.”
Despite knowing Cody was systematically drawing the voyeur’s eyes to every place no spectator should see, Amanda couldn’t help but moan and arch into his touch as he allowed his thumb to swirl over her nipple, rolling it in smooth, even motions that had her desperate for more.
“So responsive. That’s what really drives me wild about you, Amanda. You’re so sensitive everywhere.”
He bit down lightly on the lobe of her ear, making her jerk under a small spark of pain.
“So free and willing. I think you enjoy being watched while you are fucked. I think it excites you, makes your pleasure that much greater to know that another watches and wants while I claim you.”
Amanda panted out little mewing sounds, unable to deny Cody’s truth. More than just being aroused, she felt sexy, desired, beautiful, and she’d never felt it before. It was a heady, intoxicating drug fed by Cody’s husky murmurs.
“Just imagine what it would be like if one of my brothers were here. If Knox were here. Think of how hard and determined he is, how tense his features would get, how his muscles would tremble and his eyes would narrow as he watched my hand fondling your tits.”
Knox!
It was him. Amanda could feel Knox in the tension. The very idea of those rigid features and hardened eyes tracking every single flush and shiver of arousal over her body weakened her. She could almost see him looking at her with nothing but feral hunger in his eyes.
“He wants to touch you just as I do, but he wouldn’t. Not yet. Now his breath stops with yours in anticipation as I slide my hand over your stomach. Both of you waiting for the moment I open the folds of your pretty little cunt and expose all the sweet cream waiting to be tasted.”
Amanda froze, waiting for Cody to deliver. His fingers were so close. So damn close. All she needed was a little touch, just a momentary caress of her clit and she would be flying.
“Maybe he will taste it. Maybe he’ll step right up to you and let his hot breath caress your clit in a warning right before his tongue feasts upon the most intoxicating pussy I’ve ever drank from.
“Would you let him, Amanda? Would you like it? You’d like to have one man buried deep within you while another one pleasures you with his mouth? Think of all the pleasure the two of us could give you, dominating you, controlling you, making you come in ways you haven’t even dreamed of.
“I know you want it. I know the idea excites you. I can feel your cunt tightening down around me, trying to milk me into my own release as your own approaches. I know you’re ready to come just from the idea. To come now.”
He slid one finger over her clit and the world detonated around her as she did just as he commanded.
* * * *
Cody knew he pushed it. Pushed himself and Knox, who stood not four feet away looking ready to tear Amanda straight out of his arms and take her as his own. If he did…the pleasure might be explosive, but the aftermath would be just as brutal.
He knew in this moment he violated Amanda’s trust. Trust was so hard to earn in the first place. He didn’t have Jace’s charm, and even if he knew she was aware somebody entered, he didn’t given her any chance
to deny this new kink.
He damned himself for the jealous fool he’d always been. Seeing her with Jace set him off. Cody had always been quick with his temper, and now he feared it might cost him more than he wanted to pay. Cody could lose everything. Amanda might be so excited by the idea of being watched she had come apart in his arms with barely a touch, but tomorrow would be a different story.
“Finish it.”
No sound broke the moment, but Cody didn’t need to hear the words silently moving across Knox’s lips to know what his brother said. Knox’s control hung by a thread. So did Cody’s.
Forcing Amanda back onto her stomach, he kept a firm grip on her hips. Even as her strangled moans passed over the strip of fabric he used to gag her, Cody turned them into outright screams as he began to fuck her with the hard, steady rhythm beating in time with the pounding of his own blood.
So damn tight. So damn wet. Pushing his way past the constricting confines of her muscles was pure heaven. Nothing ever felt this good. Nothing ever would. Maybe one thing. Cody reared free of her clinging depth to line his cock up with the tight rosette a little farther up. With one sharp twist of his hips, he impaled himself into the sweetest ass Cody had ever fucked.
Cody gasped out as he fought for control over his balls. They threatened to explode then and there from the amazing constriction squeezing his cock. Beneath him Amanda screamed around her gag, bucking within his hold. The reigns of his control snapped, and he lost all conscious thought as his body drove toward the oblivion of release.
Only instinct had his hand curling around her hip to bury itself in the sopping wet folds of her pussy. He found her clit and tormented it, unsure if it was pleasure or pain making her go wild beneath him. He prayed for pleasure even as his own consumed him.
Pure, white-hot rapture erupted along his spine, spanning out with the sensation and forcing him to slam back into the release he pumped from the depths of her body. Over and over until the lava pouring out of every nerve ending condensed in his balls and erupted with such force Cody collapsed under the weight of his own climax, flattening Amanda to the ground as he found a soft bed against her body.
Chapter 19
Saturday, July 5th
The sun rose over Saturday morning like a nagging mother. It forced light into every corner of the ranch, exposing all the work to be done during the day. It didn’t matter how hung-over or tuckered out anybody felt, the remains of the party had to be cleared out of the pasture. Cody didn’t feel like working.
He’d spent nearly six hours with Amanda locked in the barn last night. By the time he ’d carried her up to the ranch, everybody had passed out, even Amanda, but not Knox. Cody had dressed her in his shirt, being there was nothing but rags left of her clothes. Without a word to his oldest brother, he’d carried his woman up to bathe her and tuck her into his bed.
That’s where she should have been when Cody woke. It wasn’t like he let just any woman actually sleep with him. Amanda complained he hadn’t shared his life with her. Letting her in his bed had been his first attempt, and what did he get for the effort? Waking up alone and lonely.
Cody sighed and scanned all the men walking through the grass, picking up garbage. It didn’t seem to make a dent in the mess, which felt just like his relationship with Amanda. She hadn’t been wrong to accuse him of not opening up. Cody didn’t like to open up and talk about himself. What could he possibly say to her? That he loved Sharon, loved her like no other, but he really liked Amanda?
Cody knew what a confession like that would get him. He couldn’t risk it, couldn’t risk losing Amanda over the past. It just seemed to him better to ignore it and move on into the future. It wasn’t like a body had a choice. Hell, it wouldn’t be such a bad future with Amanda in it…if Knox could get over himself.
“Always the baby, Cody.” Jace bumped him from behind, carrying a cooler he dropped at Cody’s feet. “Never wanting to work on Saturday.”
“I ache.”
Jace snorted, a grin busting out across his face. “That can happen with six straight hours of sex. I swear to God, Cody, we should put you in the Smithsonian.”
“Shut up.” Not in the mood for his brother’s teasing, Cody remembered his grudge from yesterday. “Besides, I had to do something big after you hogged her all day.”
“Hey, I’m not the one who failed to greet her,” Jace shot back. “You snooze you lose, baby brother, which makes me wonder. Where the hell were you yesterday?”
Cody shot Jace a dirty look for his accusatory tone. “Not where you’re thinking. I just got busy trying to keep up with the logistics, and unlike some lazy people, I actually had to work for the party.”
“Spare me,” Jace retorted. “I thought the whole party idea was stupid. You’re the one who went along with Knox.”
“That’s because Knox is bound and determined to find a way to disqualify Amanda.”
“So you decided to help him?”
“No,” Cody snapped, “I decided to let him tire himself out trying and you know where he spent all last night? Watching the show Amanda and I put on for him in the barn, so now you happy you spent the dark communing with your shrubs?”
Instead of taking the insult, Jace rounded on Cody to straighten up his one inch taller frame. “Knox watched? Amanda agreed to that?”
Jace already knew the answer if the tic going in his cheek was any indication. Cody wisely stepped back as he answered. “Maybe not, but…she knew.” God, he hoped she did.
“You son of a bitch,” Jace whispered. “Amanda’s going to bolt when she finds out about this, and I’m—”
Jace’s words snapped off as a shudder of rage rolled right through him. Cody knew, he understood. If Amanda bolted, Jace’s heart would break. Cody would be pretty damn miserable, too.
“She’s not going to run.” Cody tried to sound convincing, even though that’s just what Amanda had done. Slipped right out of his bed and hauled ass. “She won’t.”
“Yeah?” Jace glared down at him, fist at the ready. “And how do you know that?”
Cody eyed Jace and knew of only one way to avoid being pounded into the ground. Pulling his cell out, he held a patient finger up to Jace as he hit the speed dial. It took about four rings before Amanda’s groggy voice slurred into the phone.
“’Ello.”
“Morning, sweetness.” Cody couldn’t help but grin. She sounded like a mess. He’d love to see what she actually look like. Then he could brag about just what he did to the little darlin’. “You sounding kind of rough.”
“Cody?” Amanda groaned.
“That’s right. If you don’t want to earn any extra punishments for skipping out of my bed without permission, your ass will be here tomorrow morning at eleven for games and brunch.”
Even only half awake, Amanda knew how to give attitude. “I will?”
“Wear a dress.” Cody’s gaze locked with Jace’s. “And leave the panties off.”
He didn’t wait for her to agree but clipped the phone closed.
“And what does that prove?”
“Nothing.” Cody shook his head. “Tomorrow we prove to Amanda just who she belongs to.”
Jace hesitated, obviously torn. “I hope this works.”
“What works?” Knox asked, brining his scowl right up to his brothers. “Why are the two of you standing around chatting? We got work to do.”
“Yeah, well, we’re just sorting out some brother stuff,” Cody retorted, turning into Knox. “And that brings us to just what you did to Amanda under the carport.”
Knox’s glare shifted from him to Jace before landing back on Cody. His shoulders lifted slightly in a gesture short of a shrug. “Nothing the little darling didn’t ask for.”
“You upset her.” Jace pressed in, forming a line with Cody and making Knox snicker.
“What, you two going to tag team me now? Is that how you’re going to prove this girl isn’t trouble? By beating my ass?”
“I want y
ou to play nice,” Jace shot back, “or, yeah, we’re going to be talking with our fists.”
Knox rolled his eyes at Jace before nodding at Cody. “And what about you? Is this a two-on-one thing?”
Cody took a moment to respond, wanting Knox to get how serious he was. “I want you to give her a chance.”
“Give her a chance? Or not be me?” Knox retorted, bending over to heft the cooler Jace dropped up onto his shoulder. He paused, already half turned away. “You know I am who I am, and my wife is just going to have to accept that.”
Chapter 20
Sunday, July 6th
Amanda tapped her pencil against her pad of paper and wondered what the hell she was doing back at the Reese brothers’ ranch. When Cody finally released her, sending her home in the very early morning hours dressed in nothing but one of his T-shirts, Amanda swore she had enough.
She knew without a doubt Cody let one of his brothers watch while he screwed her in the old barn. The sick feeling in her stomach told her it had been Knox. The whole drive home, she vowed to no longer let these men toy with her like cats after a mouse.
They ping-ponged her around all day, working her into a frenzy of outright slutty behavior. And, God, did I love it.
So what if society said it was absolutely wrong to screw three brothers, especially at the same time? When those three brothers were as handsome and sexy as the Reese brothers, a woman would be insane not to spread her legs. Especially if the opportunity is all three brothers at once.
Amanda’s stomach tightened, and something a little lower quivered at the very thought. That’s why when Cody called Saturday afternoon and asked if she wanted to come over Sunday to play some games, she agreed. It had been a rash, totally hormonal decision.
One Amanda already regretted a million times since stepping through the doorway. She wasn’t a brave woman stepping into the world of sensual adventures. She was a dumbass lamb offering herself up for the slaughter.
