“God, sweetness! You’re killing me, here. Yes. That way.” His brother’s groans and guttural sounds made him smile. He could easily commiserate with him over how dangerous her mouth was.
She released Cassius’s shaft and turned back to him. “Ready to come, handsome?”
He growled and threaded his hands through her hair at the back of her head. He pulled her gently toward his straining dick. The obvious pleasure on her face gave him the courage to press her mouth next to his thick, swollen cockhead as he held the shaft with his other hand.
River reached out with her tongue and swiped it over the crown then sucked in just the head and worried it with her mouth and just the lightest edge of her teeth. Merrick released his shaft to grip her shoulder as he thrust deeper into her mouth. She didn’t resist or try to pull back. Instead, his kitten closed her hand over his dick and slowly eased down on him, retreating before she’d made it to the root and going down once again.
When she finally took him to the back of her throat so that most of his shaft was inside the hot, wet depths of her mouth, he thought he’d died and gone to heaven. She proved him wrong though when she relaxed her throat and took him just a little deeper and swallowed around him over and over. The contractions of her throat milked him to the point of pain. Merrick threw back his head and yelled her name as his balls erupted, shooting ribbons of cum down her throat. Every muscle in his body contracted, his ass cheeks tightening until he was sure he’d end up with a cramp. And damn if his toes didn’t curl as he emptied his seed inside of her. Merrick squeezed his eyes shut to hold back the water that accumulated. They weren’t tears. He didn’t cry. Painful pleasure, though, now that would make anyone’s eyes water. He smiled and collapsed against the headboard with one hand still wound tight in River’s thick hair.
Chapter Eight
River smiled around Merrick’s slowly deflating cock and slowly pulled off of it. He’d pretty much collapsed over her, his weight held off of her by the headboard. She knew she’d pleased him and was proud that she had made him feel good. They’d more than taken care of her.
Cassius drew her attention as he rubbed his cock over her taut nipples, the baby-soft skin felt good to her aroused breasts. The steel-hard shaft of his dick bobbed with his heartbeat. She wanted to capture it in her mouth again, but he seemed to have other plans in mind. As she watched, he gripped it with one tight fist and pumped it a few times. A small amount of pearly liquid squeezed from the slit on top and he brushed it off with one finger to present it to her.
She grinned and opened her mouth, closing around his finger when he placed it inside. She swirled her tongue over his finger and moaned at the spicy taste of his semen before sucking hard on his finger.
With a short burst of laughter, he pulled his finger free and used the wet digit to circle her nipples. Cool air immediately tightened the little buds even harder if that were possible.
“Fuck, I love your breasts. They’re just the right size and aren’t hard with implants. I like how soft and squeezable they are.” Cassius demonstrated by stroking them then squeezing them just enough to make her gasp in pleasure.
He bent over and licked the underside of each mound before straightening and stroking his dick once again. River reached between his legs with both of her hands to manipulate his balls. They hung low, heavy in her hand as she gently rolled them in her palms. He grinned, his eyelids lowering as desire and arousal filled him.
The sight of the big man so vulnerable, trusting her as she scored his balls with her nails made her feel strong and powerful. She would never hurt him. He and his brother had saved her life and offered her safety. They’d taken her to bed and warmed her in the night, and then when she’d woken from the nightmare, they’d given her mind-blowing orgasms to take her mind off of it. River felt at peace with them. Something she hadn’t felt since she’d been a teenager. That gift alone was worth more than she could ever repay them.
Cassius stroked his cock as she squeezed and stroked his balls, growing faster with each second. The sight was mesmerizing to her. The tight fist surrounding his shaft seemed brutal to her, but she knew that men liked it rougher when it came to self-love. He watched her intently as he pumped with one hand and fondled her breasts with his other.
“I’m close, sweetness. I’m going to shoot my cum all over those amazing breasts of yours. I can’t wait to see it coating them,” he said in a hoarse voice.
River stroked a finger between his anus and his balls, causing him to tense suddenly and throw back his head with a roar. She stroked his balls as his cum spewed out across her breasts. It was almost hot as it dripped down her nipples and slid across her breasts.
There was no way she’d ever forget the intense pleasure that had flashed across his face as he started to come. His lips had curled in a snarly expression as he jerked and tensed next to her. When he’d roared, she’d wondered what everyone in the rest of the house would think and hoped they didn’t come barging in to see what was wrong.
Cassius slowly relaxed over her and reached down to cup her cheek in one hand. His glorious blue eyes had lightened after he’d come. He smiled.
“Thank you. That was fucking amazing. I’ll clean you up, but I want to rub it in your skin first. Is that okay with you?” he asked, looking almost afraid that she’d reject him.
“Yes. That’s fine. Make smiley faces on me if you want to,” she said.
He grinned broadly and massaged her breasts with both hands, pulling on her nipples once again then smeared his seed over her chest and across her belly, going easy near her ribs. The pleasure on his face astounded her. It must have shown on hers.
“Women don’t usually like for a man to smear cum all over their body. It’s a turn on for Cassius. I admit I like it, too. Call us animals, but we like marking our territory,” Merrick said with a snort.
She just laughed and shook her head. Cassius leaned up and kissed her softly once again before climbing off the bed to walk across the room to the door. She realized he was going to get something to clean her up with. She couldn’t get over how caring the two men were. They were bikers, and so far, they had the best manners she’d ever come across. Even in some of the circles she’d grown up moving in, the men might have presented with manners, but underneath they were trying to figure out how they could one-up you behind your back. That wasn’t happening here with The Ghost Riders. They all seemed genuine with a what you see is what you get type of demeanor.
When Cassius returned with a warm, wet towel as well as a dry one, she grinned at the man. He frowned and looked over to his brother as if for an explanation of why she was smiling.
“What?” he finally asked eyeing her warily as he wiped her breasts and stomach clean of his cum.
“Nothing. I’m just really happy and can’t believe how wonderful you two are. I’m never going to want to leave here when this is all over,” she admitted.
He grinned. “That’s the plan, sweetness. We’re smothering you with pleasure so you can’t bear to leave us. Now lie back and let’s get some rest. It’s still early.”
She wiggled down the pillows until Merrick helped her reposition herself between them. They all snuggled close to each other and Cassius pulled the covers closer with one foot so that he could reach and pull them up the rest of the way with one hand. Once she was snug as bug in a rug, River realized she was wide awake. After having been asleep for several hours before the men had joined her in bed, she wasn’t all that sleepy.
The two men surrounding her each yawned and soon their breathing had evened out, letting her know they were asleep. The light in the room was so dim that she couldn’t make out their features, but a soft snore slipped from Merrick’s direction, making her grab her mouth to keep from laughing out loud. Cassius snorted occasionally in his sleep. Seeing this side of them made them even more real to her. Again she wondered how she would ever be able to leave them.
Shaking that thought away, River concentrated on rememberi
ng in hopes she could figure out what she knew that had put her in so much danger. All she could come up with was an aching head. The more she seemed to push, the harder it became to even concentrate. Finally she gave up on that and just let her mind drift instead. Maybe she’d come up with something that way.
As she relaxed between the two men sleeping around her, River felt safe and let her mind wander. She thought about how excited she’d been to be able to get the trip pushed forward. She wanted to get as much footage of the effects to the indigenous tribes of South America of losing their rainforest to loggers, farmers, and the greed of big business. There were hundreds of tribes there with many who had never been contacted by the outside world at all. She wanted them to remain pure in their traditions if possible. She remembered reading over a list of some of them, including Mayoruna, Panara, Ticuma, Tupi and Zuruaha. She’d wanted to photograph some of them if they would allow it. If not, she’d concentrate on their lifestyles and what losing it would mean to them.
She had a flash of someone’s smiling face that made her feel happy. She’d obviously met some of them on her journey. Then that same face stared up at her with fear then blanked with death. River jerked and held in the gasp. Whoever she’d remembered had died and she’d been witness to it. Had it been her fault? Tears welled up in her eyes, but she fought to keep them from falling. It wouldn’t help anyone now. All she could do was try to figure out what had happened and what she could do to stop it from happening again.
Though she tried to relax again and let her mind drift, no more images came to mind and after a while, she stopped fighting sleep and let it claim her, praying she didn’t dream of dead and dying eyes again.

River wanted to put her hands on her hips and tap her foot in aggravation, but her ribs were still too tender to do that. Instead, she glared at the two men as they glared back at her. It was obvious that Merrick and Cassius weren’t going to back down on the issue. She admitted defeat and sighed, turning around and heading back to the kitchen to sulk.
“Kitten, don’t be that way. It’s too dangerous for you to be seen in town. We’ll get what you need. I promise,” Merrick said, his tone soothing as he rubbed up and down her arms.
She kept her back to him but relaxed and leaned back slightly. His hands rested on her shoulders and lightly gripped them. She felt him rest his chin on her head.
“You’re guys, Merrick. You’re not going to know what I want or need even with that list I made,” she said with a sigh.
“It’s just to get you by until the danger is over with. Can you handle whatever we end up with until then?” Cassius asked moving up to his brother’s side.
“I suppose. Nothing pink or lacy. I hate the feel of lace on my skin and pink makes me sick,” she said with vehemence.
They both chuckled and Merrick pulled back to turn her in his arms. “We’ll make sure not to grab anything lacy and avoid all things pink. Stay inside until we get back. If someone tells you to go to our room, run and wait till one of them comes to get you. You’re safe here with them until we return.”
She sighed but nodded. She trusted them, and if they trusted their gang, then she would too.
“Be careful,” she said.
Cassius just pulled her into his arms and kissed her as if it would be days instead of a few hours before they saw each other again. The man knew how to kiss. When he released her, Merrick grinned and shook his head. Instead of kissing her as his brother had, he hugged her close and squeezed her ass cheeks then stepped back and shoved Cassius toward the door.
After they’d left, River wasn’t sure what to do with herself. A soda would help, she decided.
“Hey, River, right?” a voice spoke up behind her.
She turned around to see a beautiful woman with long, flowing black hair standing in the open door of the den. She closed it behind her and smiled as she walked toward where River stood in the doorway to the kitchen.
“I’m Raven. Jessie’s on her way. How are you feeling?” the woman asked, holding out her hand.
River smiled and took the woman’s hand in hers. She had a firm grip but didn’t squeeze. This was the woman who’d sent her things to wear and was Reece and Dom’s wife. She liked her instantly just seeing the warm, welcoming expression on her face.
“I’m doing well. Thank you so much for sending those things to the hospital for me. I really appreciate it.”
“No problem. I knew you would want to clean up with something other than hospital products, and those gowns they have are just plain indecent.” Raven shivered and grinned.
“There’s Jessie and Ginger now.” The door opened again and two more women stepped into the room.
“I’m so glad you talked them into letting you come. I swear they’re worse than women, Ginger,” a brown-haired woman was saying as the two women walked toward where she and Raven where standing.
“They mean well. I already spend so much time away because of classes and clinicals,” the strawberry blonde said.
The two women stopped in front of Raven and River. The brown haired one grinned and stuck out her hand. “Hi. I’m Jessie and this is Ginger. We figured you’d be ready for a little female chatter for a while. Hope you don’t mind.”
River shook her head. She wasn’t sure what to say to them. “Um, no. I’d love to have someone to talk with. The guys went to town to grab some things for me.”
Raven nodded and turned toward the kitchen waving them all to follow her. “Let’s have something to drink and fill River in on the club. I’m sure she’s curious about us.”
Jessie opened the huge fridge and pulled out a bottle of water. She turned to Ginger and smiled. “The usual or beer?”
“The usual, please.” Ginger turned to River. “What would you like?”
“Um, Diet Coke, please,” she said.
Raven pulled out a bottle of water and the four of them sat down at the smaller table. The other three women were obviously good friends and relaxed around each other. River had never really had many friends and definitely not any close ones. She’d spent the last ten years of her life on the road, never staying long at any one place. Now she envied these three women and their obvious bond.
“So The Ghost Riders are a motorcycle club. There are a few charters in other states like Nevada, Oklahoma, California, and New Mexico. The guys here run the shop and do odd jobs like bail jump retrieval,” Raven said.
“I’m married to Vernon and Rhodes,” Jessie offered.
“I’m engaged to Ajax and Murdock,” Ginger added. “We’re getting married the end of next month, after I complete my paramedic training.”
“Congratulations. That’s awesome,” River said. “So you’re going to work as a paramedic? That’s going to be exciting.”
“Actually, I’m probably not going to work on an ambulance much. The guys have renovated an old camp and are going to have a survivalist type camp where they teach people how to take care of themselves and things like that. I’m going to be the paramedic on duty in case of accidents and teach first aid to the guests,” she said.
“That’s pretty awesome, too. I’d love to go to something like that,” River told her.
“From what we here, you could probably teach some classes there. You’ve been all over the world and lived in some pretty rough places,” Jessie pointed out.
She felt her face heat up. “I don’t know about that.”
“So what do you think about Merrick and Cassius?” Raven asked.
River blinked. “Um, they’ve been great to me. They’re sweet men.”
The three women looked at each other and burst out laughing. River frowned. What was so funny?
“Sweet?” Jessie finally straightened up enough to ask. “Are we talking about the same men?”
“Yeah. They growl anytime I get close to one of them,” Ginger said.
“That’s Ajax, honey. Not them. He doesn’t like it when you get close to anyone but either him or Murdock,�
�� Raven said in a dry voice.
River just shook her head. What was she missing about the men? They were super nice to her.
“Well, they’ve been nothing but nice to me since I woke up. Maybe they’re just worried about scaring me or something.”
“Honey, those two are full-blown hung up on you. I’ve never seen them as worked up over anyone as they’ve been over you. The night we found you, they pretty much told Dom they weren’t leaving you. Since Dom is their boss in more ways than one, that was pretty ballsy of them. You’re important to them.” Raven turned up the bottle of water and drank deeply.
“Oh. Um, I like them, too.” River wasn’t sure what they expected from her.
“So do you like to read?” Jessie asked.
She blinked and slowly nodded. “Yes. I love to read.”
“Great! We brought you my old e-reader to give you something to do while you’re recovering.” Jessie bent and pulled something from her purse. She passed it across to River.
“Thanks, I’ll return it when I get ready to leave,” she said.
“Don’t worry about it. The guys got me a brand new Kindle Fire. That one is full of books. Just to warn you though, most of them are erotic romances. Those are my favorite,” Jessie said with a wicked smile.
“Mine, too!” River admitted. “Thank you so much for letting me use it. I can’t wait to see what you have. I bet there all sorts of new books out that I haven’t seen. It’s been a good four or five months since I’ve been able to check.”
