“Amanda, look at me.”
Lust-dazed eyes opened to glow up at him with a golden beauty that had him softening for a moment. Beneath all the attitude and defenses lay a woman with a sensuality so deep it called him like a Siren’s wail, tempting him to crash into her and drown in the warm waves of ecstasy she alone could give him.
The depth of his response terrified him. Instinctively he sought a way to rip the intimacy from the moment and return it back to what it should have always been, fucking. That’s all he’d let himself have with any woman, because his body was the only thing he was prepared to give her.
“Knox,” she breathed out his name with the same gentleness her hand cupped his cheek with. “So serious. Don’t worry. I won’t hurt you.”
Her words, and the fact she now gazed up at him with a strange warmth darkening the desire in her eyes, made Knox aware of two things. His hand had stopped its distracting motions and Amanda had seen clearly into the turbulence of his soul.
He jerked back, distancing himself physically as well as emotionally. It was a lie, a deception, and he wouldn’t let it dissuade him from his ultimate goal. Stepping up to the edge of the bed, he let one knee sink into the mattress as he reached for her. With a flutter of her eyes, she smiled up at him.
“Come on, baby girl. Time for me to fuck that ass.” Knox was intentionally crude, wanting to jar her out of any stupor she’d tried to lull him into.
Apparently she liked crude, because she smiled at him and purred. “Is that so?”
“You like the sound of that, don’t you?”
“I like the feel even better.”
Knox fought the battle for control and she tested him along every inch. That smile, those words, made him sweat. As big as he was, not many women had ever let him in the back entrance, but the way Amanda bit her lip and gazed up at him with such need told him she’d not only let him in, but she’d love every inch he gave her.
The very invitation in her eyes stirred a primal urge in him and he wasn’t gentle as his hands lifted to settle over her body.
“On your knees, baby girl.” Even as she moved to obey him, he forced her thighs wide. “Legs spread. I want to see your pretty pussy dripping for me.”
Amanda moaned and arched her back, bringing her ass up and letting him see every intimate detail of her swollen folds. They gleamed with her cream, all lush and inviting. Knox couldn’t help but take a taste.
A quick kiss turned into a ravaging exploration as Amanda went wild under the lash of his tongue. So sweet and delicious, Knox lost himself for endless minutes in the intoxicating taste of her. Only the spasmodic writhing of her body and piercing screams snapped him back to reality and reminded him, he’d once again gotten side tracked and allowed an Amanda an orgasm he’d intended to deny her.
With a grunt of disgust at his own lack of control, Knox shifted away from Amanda and back onto his feet. Leaving her collapsed in a sweaty, panting heap on the bed, he went to fish some lube out of the night stand. When he returned she still whimpered, listless in the middle of the bed.
He used his thighs to prop her back up. She didn’t even seem aware of what he was doing, only showing some recognition when he pressed the hard, rounded head of his cock right up against her anus. Matching her gasp, he pressed into the tightest ass he’d ever had the pleasure to fuck.
Chapter 39
Jace pulled his truck to a hard stop under the carport and kicked his door open. He was grumpy, pissed, and very much annoyed to see Knox’s truck parked haphazardly in the middle of the yard. Cody’s truck didn’t cramp the space next to his which meant he was still waiting on Amanda’s porch. Knowing him, he’d wait there all night.
Jace had searched all over Humble, looking left and right for Amanda, and the only thing he’d found was her car parked in back of Studs & Spurs. Tucker had said she’d been in earlier with her friend Cindy, but they’d disappeared. With Amanda now in Cindy’s car, Jace had given up. Eventually Amanda would show up, and he and Cody would set everything back to right.
All his searching had done was made Jace itch to hit Knox again. The fact that Knox’s truck sat like a barricade in front of the steps only irritated the urge. Knox would never have parked there. More likely somebody else had driven his drunk ass home because that’s the only way Knox would let another person drive his truck.
Besides, Knox had muttered something about going to get liquored up. Jace would bet money his older brother was passed out, face first across his bed. It wouldn’t hurt enough if he ripped into Knox now. Morning would be better. His brother would already feel like crap. Jace smiled coldly at the thought of making Knox feel as shitty as he did right then. It might not be possible, but Jace surely would try.
Locking the front door closed behind him, Jace tugged off his hat and shrugged out of his coat. Leaving both hanging on the rack by the door, he headed for the den and the liquor. Knox wasn’t the only one who needed a drink tonight. Jace got sidetracked as he entered the hall by the soft, guttural groans coming from the opposite end.
He could see the light coming from Knox’s room, hear the sensual sounds of a woman being pleasured. The squeak of the box spring, the musky scent of sex, Jace froze under the implications. Son of a bitch! He brought a woman home.
Jace’s fingers curled into fists as he stormed down the hall. He could not believe Knox could be that stupid or drunk as to bring home some cheap piece of ass from the bar when he knew it would mean the death kernel to his and Amanda’s relationship. The death to Jace’s relationship with Amanda.
The very idea blinded him with a rage more violent then he’d ever experienced. Jace rounded the corner of Knox’s bedroom door with curses already forming on his lips to come to a stuttering halt as his eyes took in the sight before him. She looked like the mythical goddess Venus to him, so beautiful and sensual. Bowed down before Knox, her back arched in a graceful line, she swayed and bounced in rhythm to his brother’s fucking.
Amanda flipped her hair and caught his gaze. The smile she gave him warmed him through, making Jace’s cock swell with need. So filled with feminine satisfaction, he knew Knox hadn’t forced her into this moment. If anything, it was Knox who appeared unsettled. He followed Amanda’s gaze to cast a scowl in Jace’s direction.
“Don’t even think about interfering,” Knox growled, a harsh sound chopping through his ragged breath.
Jace raised an eyebrow, and other than lifting his fingers to begin unbuttoning his shirt, he made no real response.
“Damn it, Jace.”
Amanda’s smile shifted as Knox took his annoyance with Jace out on her. It dipped slightly and then opened to release a moan as Knox’s hands settled on her shoulders. The slow, steady tempo of Knox’s hips picked up, becoming a fast-paced bump and grind that had him holding her into position.
Every inch of the way, Amanda begged for more of his brother’s rough fucking. Jace could hear it in the breathy little moans spurring Knox on. Her teeth bit into her lower lip as Jace watched her whole body flush and begin to tremble with the climax tightening down her muscles.
Over the steady slap of sweaty flesh, he could hear Knox snarling. Soft and harsh, his brother’s words were vulgar and perverse. All Knox did was drive Amanda into panting even harder. His little woman liked it rough and dirty, which just made her all the more perfect.
Toeing off his boots, he let his jeans fall to the floor. Naked and more than ready to join in on the party, Jace eyed the action, trying to figure out how best to get in on the fun. Knox shot him a hard look. The feral aggression glinting in his older brother’s eyes told Jace he wasn’t welcome.
Amanda didn’t mind. She welcomed him with a hand reaching out to curl around his erection. Jace closed his eyes against the sweet pleasure of her soft grip on his hot flesh. Her fingers tightened, molding perfectly to the curve of hardened cock before sliding down his length.
Jace’s eyes flew open as his groan turned to a growl at the loss of Amanda’s
touch. Knox met his hard gaze with his own determination. With a hand on her wrist, Knox folded Amanda’s arm back into her stomach.
“This is my night.”
“I’m not leaving.”
Jace backed that statement by kneeling right on the bed. The small advance brought his dick within inches of paradise. Bent over as she was, Amanda’s head hovered just above the engorged head of his cock. Near pain, he watched as her full lips parted. The puff of heated breath washed over his swollen flesh in a fleeting caress.
Then the universe stopped as her wicked little tongue snaked out for a quick taste. Jace groaned as every muscle contracted under the sharp spike of pleasure. The tension bowed his back and arched through his neck. It snapped back a second later when the sensual motion abruptly stopped.
Knox had a hold on Amanda’s shoulders and used it to pull the unresisting woman straight up. Jace watched as her jaw flexed and fell as his brother impaled his full length straight into her ass. His brother was longer, thicker than most men and few women had ever taken Knox that deep.
The rapture in his brother’s eyes gleamed in Amanda’s as well. She writhed against Knox, trapped in his embrace by the two hands holding her breasts hostage. Knox growled in warning as Jace reached for Amanda. His older brother’s eyes narrowed, and his hands tensed as Jace’s touch came close to her breasts.
“She’s mine.”
Jace settled for her sides, letting his hands smooth down to the indention of her waist. “You had her last night.”
In the blink of an eye, he wrenched her from his brother and right into his arms. Her mouth fell open, panting out sexy little sounds as he lowered her slowly but steadily down his own aching length. Her pussy welcomed his invasion with a pulse of heated cream.
Jace smiled at her, feeling all the warmth inside him explode as her lips lowered to brush over his. His mouth opened to take control of the kiss, but Amanda’s shriek cut him off as their weight shifted and suddenly they were tumbling backward. Jace took most of the impact, banging full force into the floor with Amada’s weight coming crushing down on top of him. Over her shoulder, Jace could see Knox’s evil smile.
So it’s like that, is it?
Yes, it was. Knox answered with the bash of a pillow to his head. “Get out of her, you rutting mutt. Baby girl isn’t allowed cock in her pussy tonight.”
He followed that absurd declaration with another whack of the pillow. Jace growled. He was not rutting, he was loving. He certainly didn’t appreciate being smacked with a damn pillow, not to mention being pushed off the bed while enjoying his woman’s company. Knox had to be dealt with.
“Give me just a minute, darling,” Jace murmured hastily to Amanda as he lifted her off. Paying very little attention, he rolled her to the side and rose up to meet Knox’s challenge. “Bring it on, big brother. I got your pill right here.”
* * * *
Amanda blinked and stared as Jace took a wild swing with his fist and Knox bashed him with another pillow shot to the head. Rolling into a sit, she watched in utter disbelief as the two brothers hurled curses and punches at each other. Things had been going very well, better than before Jace had showed up. At first sight, she’d thought her night had gotten even better, but somehow she’d become totally irrelevant.
Naked with hard-ons at the ready, she rolled her eyes. What a waste. She could be getting both of them at the same time. Damned if she wasn’t going to get something and get it now. She picked up one of Jace’s boots and chucked it at them.
“Ow!” Jace gripped his arm, turning and ducking as she threw his second boot. “What the hell did you do that for?”
“Because she wants you to leave,” Knox growled. “Just like me…ow!”
“Stop, both of you!” Amanda scrambled to her feet, holding off for just a second before she chunked Knox’s bedside clock at him. He managed to duck the missile, and now she had both brothers’ attention firmly on her and their very enticing erections pointing in the right directions.
“Are you insane?”
“She is insane,” Knox retorted. “You should have seen what she did to my truck earlier.”
“What?”
“No! Damnit.” Amanda did not intend to let the two of them get distracted a second time. “Will you two focus? This is supposed to be about sex. We,” she waved a hand between her and Knox, “were having sex when you,” she pointed at Jace, “interrupted. That’s fine, join the party, but don’t break it up! You two juvenile delinquents have turned what could be a fun time into a disaster with your childish bickering, and I’ve had enough. Until you can figure out how to get along, I’m just going to have cut you both off.”
Knox raised an indignant brow at her. “Cut us off?”
“Don’t take that tone with me, mister,” she shot back. “This is the second time you’ve interrupted my sexual odyssey with your ill temper and your inability to restrain your more violent tendencies.”
Jace snorted. “She’s got you on that one.”
“Shut up.” Knox snapped a punch to Jace’s arm.
“Enough!” There was only one thing that might actually put these two back on course. “You two can just stand there and bicker. I, for one, intend to get back to the sex.”
With that grand proclamation, she plucked Knox’s cell from the nightstand and began to pick her way through the crap strewn over the floor. With as much haughtiness as she could muster naked, she made her way to the door with a certain amount of disappointment that neither brother made a move to stop her.
It was Knox who caved first. “So you gonna go on this one solo, baby girl?”
That’s just what she’d been waiting for. Waving the red flag in front of her two bulls, Amanda tossed a wicked smirk over her shoulder at Knox and Jace. “No. I’m going to call Cody.”
She said it and ran, making it to the end of the hall before colliding into a living wall. Too obsessed with looking over her shoulder, Amanda flatted herself against the solid heat of a man. Instantly a set of strong arms clamped around her waist and lifted her right off her feet. The walls, ceiling, and floor whirled around her, and she couldn’t help but laugh at Cody’s, “Gotcha.”
Dumped over his shoulder like a sack of feed, Cody carried her back down the hall to where his two brothers waited. “You know, you two should put some pants on. We—”
“Back off Cody,” Knox snapped. “This is between me and Amanda.”
“No,” Jace disagreed, making Amanda wonder if he was about to start another fight. “This is between all of us.”
Cody dumped her back on Knox’s bed, ignoring her completely as he turned to address his brothers. “Sorry, big brother, but first it’s about punishment. I still owe Amanda for pulling that gun on me.”
“She pulled a gun on you?”
A wicked thrill unfurled through her body like a heated whiplash at the savage glimmer in Knox’s eyes. He cast her a dark look with his question, and Amanda couldn’t help but to smile back.
“I think Cody’s got a point.” Jace circled the bed, wearing much of the same look Knox had on. “She ran off Monday night…and just where did you go to, Amanda? Where did you spend the night?”
“Somewhere where she got felt up.” Cody felt some need to remind Jace.
Unfortunately, Knox got the message, too. “Felt up? Who the hell touched you?”
Amanda found herself surrounded with a brother on every side. Jace on the right, Cody to the left, and Knox looming right over the foot of the bed. Despite those exciting odds, the three scowls made her think no fun would be had.
“Amanda.”
Glaring at Jace for using that tone on her, Amanda’s mood didn’t improve as she watched him pull his jeans back on. “I wasn’t felt up.”
“It’s what you said,” Cody reminded her.
“But it wasn’t what I meant.” Amanda sulked, narrowing her gaze on Knox as he followed Jace’s lead and started tugging on his jeans. This was not looking good for her.
“Then what the hell did you mean?” Knox stilled, leaving his jeans unbuttoned to glare at her. “And you better stop with all this attitude, Amanda, because every snotty comment is getting added to your punishment.”
“I was frisked,” Amanda shot at him. “You know that thing they do when they arrest you?”
“You got arrested?”
“What the hell did you do?”
Jace and Cody’s questions came one on top of the other from both sides, but she didn’t have a chance to answer before Knox grunted. “She’s trouble. Didn’t I tell you both? And trouble always lands in jail. Whatcha do girl? Rob a liquor store?”
Amanda gave Knox a dirty look for that one but couldn’t con her way around the answer. “Well, it did actually involve a lot of alcohol…”
“And?” Jace prodded.
Hanging her head, Amanda slouched with the weight of the truth. “And removing my clothes to go swimming on property I hadn’t been invited on.”
It took all three brothers a moment to digest her confession. Of course, Knox would be the one to speak first. “So that would be…what? Indecent exposure and trespassing?”
“And resisting arrest,” Amanda muttered before throwing Knox a big smile. “But all the charges have since been dropped. As you might not know, I’m good friends with the—”
“Wait a minute,” Cody cut her off. “That deputy who was being such a prick to us yesterday, is that the guy who arrested you?”
Amanda wouldn’t lie, but admitting the truth seemed a pretty dumb thing to do. Not that either Cody or Jace needed the words when the heat burning in her cheeks had them cussing.
“Oh, for God’s sake,” Jace groaned. “Please tell me you were at least dressed when you resisted arrest.”
“Well, I wouldn’t have been resisting if I had my clothes on,” Amanda snapped. “And don’t look at me like that, Knox. It wasn’t even my idea. It’s just—”
