“Thank God I always leave it unlocked for Justin and that you were out on the deck.”
“Yes, I was drinking my coffee, trying to come with a plan to get you to talk to me after I made such a mess of our first meeting. That’s when I heard someone knocking. I thought it was your door, but when they didn’t stop, I was about to get up and see who was being so insistent. Then I heard your door open and close. You left your bedroom window open, and I could hear voices and figured you had invited someone over. But when I heard you raise your voice in panic, I knew something was wrong. Since your deck butts up against ours, I just jumped over the railing. I was about to knock when I saw you through a gap in the vertical blinds. It didn’t take me long to figure out what was going on.”
“If you hadn’t been out on the deck…” Her voice trailed off.
“Well, I was and that son of a bitch was stopped. But regardless of that fact, we now have to deal with what happened. I delayed calling the police until you were awake. I’ll call them now.”
“No. You can’t, please. Calling the police would just complicate everything. I would have never believed David could have acted like that. He was angry when I broke it off with him, but he never threatened me with physical violence. I still can’t believe what almost happened and would have happened if you hadn’t been there. But regardless, I can’t relive it over and over again with the police. He didn’t actually rape me. I mean, he could say all sorts of things to make them think I was in some way to blame for his actions and that he had no intention of raping me. Please, Jarred, you can’t call the police.”
“Men like him are cowards. They prey on women who they know are alone. Seeing you half naked in his arms trying to fend him off made me crazy. All I could think about was squeezing the life out of that bastard. You can’t just let him get away with this, Kat.”
“I’ll never be able to repay you for what you did for me, Jarred. I felt so helpless. But now I’m begging you”—she began to sob—“don’t call the police. You’re right about him, he’s a coward and he’ll act like one. He’ll say anything to put the blame on me.”
Jarred sat down beside her on the bed and gathered her in his arms. “Shhh…it’s okay now. I’ll never let him touch you again, Kat, I promise. If you don’t want me to call them, I won’t.” He sighed.
She looked down and suddenly realized she was wearing one of her nightgowns. She pulled away slightly, looking back up at Jarred.
“Yes, I put you in your nightgown. I threw your robe and panties away. I didn’t think you’d ever want to see them again.”
“That was kind of you,” she said between her tears. “You were right to do so, but I’m so embarrassed.”
“Embarrassed? Darling, you’ve got nothing to be embarrassed about. You’re not the first naked woman I’ve ever seen, although, you might be the first one I’ve put a nightie on instead of taking it off.” He grinned, bringing her head back to rest against his chest.
She buried her face in the safety of his warmth, not wanting to look at him. He lifted her chin. “Look at me, Kat. Please.” She heard something close to a plea in his voice.
“You’re not afraid of me are you, Kat? You know I’d never hurt you.”
She shook her head. She wasn’t afraid of him. She felt safe in his arms. She wanted to stay there forever.
“When you’re feeling up to it, I need to talk to you. I know up until the moment I came barging in your house this morning, you probably never wanted to see me again. But there are some things I need to say to you. Things you need to hear.”
Nodding her head, she said, “After what you just did, the least I can do is listen to what you have to say. Just give me a few minutes to take a shower and get dressed.”
“Do you want me to help you?”
“No. I’m feeling stronger now. But you’ll still be here, right?”
“I’ll be in the living room waiting for you, Kat. I don’t plan on going anywhere.”
The shower felt good. She made it as hot as she could stand. She wanted to wash David’s hands off her body as completely as possible. She would never be able to fathom what possessed him to want to punish her so horribly. If Jarred hadn’t been there, she shivered at what could have happened.
As he promised, Jarred was waiting for her. He had even made coffee. Whatever David had brought had been tossed out with her clothes. She was glad she didn’t have to see any reminders of him or what he had tried to do to her.
She dressed in a pair of jeans and a short-sleeved blue shirt. She hadn’t put on any makeup and remained barefoot. When Jarred saw her, he stood up and smiled.
“I told you I’d be right here.”
“Thank you. Thank you for everything.”
“I poured you a cup of coffee. It’s on the kitchen table. Do you want something to eat?”
“No. I’m not hungry. Thanks for the coffee.”
She grabbed her cup and went to where Jarred was waiting for her on the sofa. She sat down beside him and took a sip of the hot coffee, holding the cup with both hands. When she looked up, he was staring at her.
“Are you sure you’re up for this? I could come back later.”
“Please don’t go. I’m ready to hear whatever you have to say.”
I’m not even sure where to begin,” he started. “But the first thing I want you to know is that my brothers are madly in love with you.”
She felt a cry escape her lips. “I know, and I’m so sorry.”
“Are you really sorry, Kat?”
“Of course I am. I would never pit two brothers against one another, especially two that I love as much as Jeremiah and Justin.”
“Then you really do love them both,” he said softly.
“I’m a terrible person, I know it. But I promise you I won’t come between them. I’m going to sell this place, and I’m going to move to another state, and I’ll never see either one of them again.”
“Now why would you do that?”
She looked at him quizzically, placing her coffee cup down on the end table next to the sofa. “I think that’s pretty obvious, and I would have thought you’d be happy about it.”
“How could I be happy about something that would break my brothers’ hearts?”
Katlynn shook her head, trying to clear her confusion. She knew she had been through a lot, but was it possible that she was suffering from a concussion or a delayed reaction of some kind. Jarred wasn’t making any sense. “I don’t understand.”
“I know you don’t. But I’m here to explain it to you,” he said, his eyes looking deeply into hers. “You see, Kat, you can have them both if you want them.”
Katlynn tried to absorb what Jarred was trying to explain to her. If she understood him correctly, he was telling her that Justin and Jarred wanted to share her in the most intimate of ways. “Have them both? Do you mean one night I’m with Jeremiah, and the next night I’m with Justin?”
“Not exactly.” He smiled. “They want to make love to you together, in what some people would call a threesome.”
“A threesome.” Now that she understood, for some reason it made perfect sense to her. “I don’t know what to say.”
“Say you’ll think about. That’s all I can ask.”
“They’ve done this before haven’t they?”
“Yes, they have, but it’s always been for fun. They’ve never found anyone until they met you that they wanted to commit to.”
“Can I ask you something?”
“Please,” Jarred said, taking her hand in his. “Ask me anything you want.”
“Why did they want you to tell me? Why didn’t they just tell me themselves? They had plenty of opportunities.”
It seemed forever before Jarred spoke. “I could lie, but I don’t want to lie to you. You might not like the truth. Are you sure you want to hear it?”
Katlynn had a feeling that she knew what Jarred was going to tell her. “Do they want to share me with you, too?”
&nbs
p; He nodded. “Yes.”
She waited for him to continue. She felt her heart beating faster.
“When they met you, they called me and told me they had found someone different, someone they thought they could spend their life with. I think they fell in love with you at first sight, Kat. They also told me they wanted me to meet you, to get to know you, because they hoped I would fall in love you with you the way they had. I never believed in love at first sight, and I thought you might be the kind of woman who was going to try and take them to the cleaners financially as well as emotionally.”
“That’s why you treated me the way you did last night. Do you feel that way now?” Her voice came out in a whisper.
“No. In my attempt to protect my brothers I insulted you and used you to make them see what I thought was the error of their ways. After you left, they were both devastated. I convinced them not to follow you even though they both wanted to. I told them I would talk to you and that they needed to trust me,” he said, his voice low and full of emotion. “When I tried to sleep, all I kept seeing was the tortured look on your face. This morning when I was having my coffee, I was trying to come up with a plan to make everything right. If I had been kinder to you, I could have asked you to share breakfast with me out on the deck and…” He paused “That bastard would have never had the opportunity to find you alone. When I saw him forcing himself on you,” he choked out, “I wanted to kill him for daring to touch you.”
“You wouldn’t have killed him.”
“You don’t know that. You don’t know how badly I wanted to end his miserable life.”
“But you didn’t.”
“No, because you told me not to, and when I looked back at you, I knew if I ever wanted to have a life with you, it wouldn’t be possible from jail.”
“Are you saying you want me, too?” Katlynn’ s eyes locked with his, her heart doing flip-flops in her chest.
“I want you more than I thought it was possible to want a woman. But after last night, would you ever consider making love with my brothers and me?”
She could see the pain of what he thought would be her rejection etched in his brow as he waited for her to answer. She wanted Justin and Jeremiah. She knew that without question. But Jarred was an intimidating man, and she knew from last night and now this morning that he could be a dangerous one. And yet, her heart was melting like a candle that was burning out of control. She was amazed that she could want him with the same uncontrollable desire she felt for his brothers.
“I’ve never made love to more than one man at a time before. But you already know that. I’ve never been in love before either. I know I love your brothers, but—”
“It’s okay, Kat, I understand.”
“No, Jarred, you don’t understand. Let me finish.” She smiled, squeezing the hand that still held hers. “What I’m trying to say is that although we’ve just met, I already have deep feelings for you, and not just because you saved me.” She had to tell him how she felt, otherwise he would think she only wanted him because she felt indebted to him. “I can’t explain it, but even last night when I thought you hated me, I wanted you. I’m not sure I even know who I am anymore. Are you sure you want me?”
“Dear God, Kat, yes, I’m sure.” He all but laughed, crushing her into his arms. “I’d make love to you right now, except I want your first experience to be with all of us. The way it should be.”
“That’s what I want to.”
For the rest of the day and the next, she and Jarred talked for hours about everything and anything that came into their minds. They didn’t leave her home, ordering out for food and even sleeping in the same bed together, where they cuddled and talked until they fell asleep in each other’s arms. Jarred was a wealth of knowledge that he didn’t mind sharing with her. However, it was her lessons, as Jarred called them that had her body on fire with a need so great she asked Jarred to call Justin and Jeremiah to tell them to take an earlier flight. As much as he told her he wanted to, he said he didn’t want to tell them their news over the telephone. He wanted to surprise them when they came home.
She was sure that they would be more than surprised when she showed them all that Jarred had taught her. He was an excellent teacher. She thought back over her lessons, feeling her pussy or cunt as Jarred like to refer to it become wet. She pinched her nipples that were already hard and twisted them slightly. Without thinking, she slipped out of her clothes and went to the mirror where she observed her body. Jarred loved her breasts, especially when her buds were captured by the nipple clamps that he had bought for her. She could feel her cunt gush with want. She wanted to be fucked so badly. Jarred had made sure she was in a high state of unfulfilled wanton need for his brothers’ homecoming. He loved it when she begged him to touch her and more so when she begged him to let her touch him.
The lessons had started almost immediately with Jarred carrying her from the living room back to her bed and laying her down gently on the down cover.
“Do you want me to train you, Kat? Are you sure? ”
“I need you, Jarred, as I need Justin and Jeremiah. Teach me to be what you all need, please.”
“I’m a Dominant, Kat. And in your relationship with me and my brothers, I’m the alpha male. Do you know what that means?”
She had a pretty good idea. She smiled up at Jarred. “Show me what it means, please.”
Chapter Thirteen
Katlynn trembled slightly as Jarred sat down on the bed next to her. He took her hand into his and squeezed it. “I want to show you and I will, but first I want to explain to you what I mean when I say I’m a Dominant.”
Kat nodded. She wanted to know everything about Jarred. He not only made her feel safe, but adored. He was so much like his brothers, and yet he was very different. She knew what dominant and alpha male meant. He was the leader. It was easy to see him in that role since Justin and Jeremiah had made it clear that he was the head of the family. It was just who he was. She had felt his dominant force from the moment she met him.
“I enjoy being in control, but not for the sake of power, more because I find that control is what is needed to make everything work well whether it be in business or in my personal life. When it comes to you, Kat, my being dominant doesn’t mean I have to have power over you, it simply means that I need you to trust me in all things.
“I do trust you, Jarred.”
“Thank you for that. That is the first step, but as much as you think you trust me, only your actions will be able to convince me of that trust. It’s not that I don’t believe you, however, there’s so much you don’t know about yourself. We have so much to learn about each other, and that can only happen through open communication.
Jarred began asking her questions, and when she hesitated, he frowned. She didn’t like it when it frowned. He was gentle but persistent. She told him all about the schools she went to and the deep feelings of resentment she had harbored against the parents she loved for not being a normal family who stayed in one place for longer than two years at a time. She had never really faced those feelings before. Jarred listened, and whenever she became teary-eyed, he held her tightly until she was ready to continue. He also told her about himself and what it was like to grow up on a ranch. It sounded wonderful. She told him she envied his childhood. He said it was far from perfect but he had more happy memories than not.
She had never opened up to anyone the way she had to Jarred. It was well past midnight when she felt her eyes becoming heavy.
“Kat, you’re getting tired?”
“Yes, just a little,” she conceded.
“We will sleep here together tonight, if that’s okay with you?”
“Of course it is.” She blushed. She had hoped he wouldn’t want to leave her. She wanted him not only by her side but inside her. She wanted him to make love to her.
“You will sleep beside me naked, but we will not make love.”
“Why?” was out before she could stop herself.
“Yes, but it’s just that.” Her voice drifted off.
“I want you every bit as much as you want me. However, it will be a test of our love not only for each other but for Justin and Jeremiah that we not make love. However, that doesn’t mean that my desire for you will remain totally unfulfilled.”
“I think I understand,” she said softly. “But wouldn’t it be easier if I wore pajamas?”
“No. I will also be naked. I want to feel your skin next to mine. I want to get to know you thoroughly. I can touch you, feel you, and adore you without entering you. I want your desire, it will aid in your training.”
“Now, go prepare yourself in the bathroom. Return to me naked, no earrings either.”
“Yes, Jarred,” she said, lifting herself from the bed and walking quickly to the bathroom.
“Oh, and Kat?”
“Yes.”
“For the purpose of our training and only when we are alone, you will call me, Sir.”
“Yes, Sir,” she said softly before she closed the door.
Kat looked at herself in the mirror. She was flushed, and her eyes were sparkling. She was so excited she could barely contain herself. She wanted so badly to please Jarred. He made her feel so feminine and so wanted. Her pussy was wet and her buds were so hard they hurt. He would see her desire immediately when she returned to him. Finally stripped of her clothing, she sponged her body, hoping to cool the heat of her passion. She didn’t feel tired anymore.
Jarred was sitting on the side of the bed naked. She couldn’t help but stare at his cock that was semihard and bigger than any man’s she had ever seen. She felt her legs go weak as he motioned for her to come forward to stand in front of him.
“You are beautiful, Kat. Your breasts are large but firm. They make a man’s mouth water at the thought of suckling those hard nipples.
She moaned softly.
“Are you wet, Kat?”
She nodded, and then said, “Yes, Sir.”
