Ally looked around at all who were still in the room. Blake, Shep, Griff and Chetan were over by the table, now cleared of food. Roman and Jack were sitting on the sectioned couch. Moira and Katie were still in the kitchen but the divider was now opened between the two rooms making Ally aware that probably everyone had heard the earlier conversation. Gil was just inside the closed door to the apartment and Ben was sitting in a soft easy chair.
“Are you sure you don’t want to call the other five back so that they don’t miss any of the good stuff?” Ally asked with sarcasm dripping from her voice. She was positive that the others would learn of what she said anyway and it pissed her off. But what could she expect. They weren’t her family. She didn’t have any family anymore. She shot a harsh glance to Ben. “Which shall I go into first? The pyro who killed my mother and is now doing his dirty work in Legacy? Or how about the man I shot and killed in cold blood? Which juicy story would you like me to share first?”
“Ally…” Ben started but she cut him off with a look of such disgust that it literally froze him in place.
“Don’t try to play the protective, sincere family card with me, Tommy. Oh, excuse me, it’s Ben now isn’t it? We both know that you crossed that bridge long ago.”
“That doesn’t mean that I don’t care about you anymore, Ally, that I don’t love you.” Ben looked at her and maybe for the first time really thought of all the ties that he had cut when he had walked away from his family. He had left everyone behind, family and friends. He regretted it after seeing Ally again. The only people he had meant to hurt were the ones who probably never cared—his mother, father and big brother.
“Maybe it means that I don’t,” Ally stated and complete silence filled the room.
“Ally…” Ben tried again.
“Don’t,” Ally turned away from him and walked as far away from everyone as she could get and still be in the room, which wasn’t far. “Just don’t.” She took a deep breath and closed her eyes. “Which story do you want first?” her voice was calm and collected now but there was no disguising the hint of pain.
“Tell us about the murder, Ally.” It was Gil who spoke and when Ally opened her eyes she was shocked to see compassion on the faces of the men in the room. It made her wonder just how many of them had the same skeletons in their closets.
“I was working on a case with local police.” She began quietly, closing her eyes again and seeing it all play out in her head. “A local boy was reported kidnapped and his parents were desperate to find him. The mom brought in a teddy bear for me to see if I could connect with it, with her little boy.” Ally took a deep breath before continuing. It was hard to remember this. It was this very case that had her walking away and refusing to try to help again, no matter what the circumstances. It was a time she would never forget. “His name was Justin. He was six years old at the time. When I touched the bear I connected with him instantly. I could feel his terror. The fear was clawing at him and I felt suffocated by it.” Ally’s pulse pounded as she continued, reliving the moments in her mind. “I could make out a room. He was in a room and someone was with him. Justin was sitting on a bed his knees drawn to his chest with his arms wrapped around them. He was just rocking and all I could feel was his terror. It consumed him and me as well. I was eventually able to make out some of the things in the room and one of the detectives recognized it as a tiny motel on the outskirts of town.”
Ally’s eyes were still closed tight as she continued. “I went with them. I’m not sure what made me insist but I did. Even then I felt something was off. But Justin’s terror was just so… Well, when we got there it was all just as I described. I remember watching the police enter the room with guns drawn. I remember watching Justin’s dad charge in shoving people out of his way. I watched as he drew a gun from under his shirt and shot the other man in the room twice. That was when I realized something that I should have picked up on before. Justin wasn’t terrified of the man who took him.” Her eyes opened and immediately locked with Blake’s. “He was terrified of the man who had been molesting him. His father.”
Ally heard a gasp from the kitchen but she couldn’t look away from Blake. “When his dad turned to him Justin began screaming. I was the only one who knew why. I was filled with this little boy’s terror. The closer I was to him the more intensely his emotions become mine. I must have grabbed a gun from one of the cops beside me. I heard the gun shots but it wasn’t until much later that I realized that I was the one who had shot and killed a man.”
“The mother never knew what Justin’s dad had done to him until a few years later when Justin confessed it all to her. The man who took Justin turned out to be a local college boy who baby sat for the family occasionally. He was trying to save Justin and instead he was shot and killed.”
“Oh, Ally,” Ben started to her but stopped when she spoke again.
“Don’t,” she stated firmly. “I’m too raw right now. Don’t touch me.” She took a deep breath and continued. “I’m not sorry for killing him and if given the chance under the same circumstances I would do it all over again. The only thing that saved me was the fact that Justin’s dad was pointing his gun at me at the time I shot, or so I was told. The DA decided against prosecution and I walked away.”
“You didn’t walk away, Ally,” Blake said as he came up to her and, even though she held her hands out as if to ward him off, he pulled her snugly into his arms and against his chest. “Limped or crawled, maybe. But you didn’t just walk away from it.”
Ally’s body shook with the silent sobs she refused to release but everyone in the room was aware of the toll it must have taken for her to relive those moments.
“I’m taking Ally home now,” Blake said to the room at large. “She’s had enough questions for the night. You can all meet at my house in the morning to discuss the fire. But for right now, she’s had enough.”
Ally was quiet on the ride to Blake’s house and Blake didn’t push conversation. She was aware that Shep would be following them shortly but couldn’t drum up the same level of excitement that she had felt earlier. She was still raw from reliving the shooting and Justin’s terror. She felt broken inside. There were things that she hadn’t shared with everyone, things she never would. Like the way that she had seen the harsh memories of the countless nights of abuse that Justin had suffered at the hands of a man who should have protected him. Like the fact that she had been dating one of the cops, who had broken things off after that day telling her that he couldn’t see her any more because dating the town freak would ruin his career.
“We’re here,” Blake said snapping Ally out of her morbid thoughts and bringing her back to the present.
She shook her head when she realized that they were already shut in his garage and the truck was off. “Sorry, Blake,” Ally said with a sad smile. “Maybe I’m not good company tonight. Maybe I should just head back to the apartment that Griff showed me.”
“You could,” Blake nodded, then caught her off guard with a wicked grin. “But all your stuff will be here.” She gave him a confused look and he continued releasing both of their seatbelts while he spoke. “Shep is stopping by there and getting your bag on his way here.” He pulled her across the seat to him and held her close. “You shouldn’t be alone tonight, honey. We don’t have to do anything but hold each other. But you shouldn’t be alone.”
Ally could feel the tears burning the backs of her eyes. It felt like forever since she had really had anyone care about her though in actuality it was not quite a full year since her mom and Tory had been killed. Blake felt so right, so perfect holding her close but part of her was still uncertain, still afraid. How long before he pushed her away to save his career? How long until she was forced to move on and try to start over again?
“Come on,” Blake said as he opened his door and pulled Ally out after him. “How about a nice soak in the hot tub? That might make you feel better.” He tugged her into the house and headed through the living room t
o a patio door that she hadn’t noticed earlier. He left her standing there in the shadows while he opened the door and flipped a switch that turned on a low wattage outdoor light.
His patio was beautiful. There was a huge grill against the back rail of the deck as well as a patio table with four chairs. There was something that looked like a couch with a low coffee table in front of it with two other chairs that matched the ones at the table. Then there were two long loungers and in the back corner to the left of the door was a huge Jacuzzi hot tub that looked like it could easily seat twelve people. Blake had removed the cover and hit a switch and Ally watched as the water began to churn and bubble. There was steam rising into the air around it and at that moment she wanted nothing more than to feel it on her skin. Her gaze landed on the box of condoms lying on the deck and she inhaled a sharp breath. A trickle of excitement worked down her spine and chills erupted on her arms.
“I can find something here for you to wear if you want,” Blake stated as he walked back into the room.
“You keep women’s bathing suits here?” Ally asked and almost laughed when Blake flushed.
“No,” he said. “But I can find you a dark colored t-shirt to wear with your panties if you want.”
Ally smiled and did laugh, then. He was just too sweet. “You’ve already seen me naked, Blake.”
She could see the fire in his eyes that he was trying so hard to keep banked. “Shep will be here soon, Ally. If you don’t want anything to happen then maybe we should all keep our clothes on for now.”
He was trying to be good, putting her first and not pressuring her about her earlier decision to come back here and have sex with both men. But the truth was that reliving the moments earlier made her want tonight with Blake and Shep even more. She needed to feel alive, to feel free. She needed every wicked, carnal deed that the two men could dream up.
She smiled and bent to remove her boots, placing them to the side of the door. Her t-shirt followed and then she shrugged out of her jeans, taking her socks with them. She looked up at Blake and reached back to unfasten her bra and add it to the pile. She heard his indrawn breath when her breasts were uncovered and slid her hands over her nipples, stimulating them to harder points as she moved down to her panties. She eased them down over her hips and when they puddled at her feet, she used her foot to toss them onto the top of her other clothes.
She smiled at him, enjoying the fire in his eyes as much as the sight of the bulge straining against his zipper. “I’ll be in the hot tub. Come and join me whenever you want to.” With that she stepped out into the cool October air and hurried to the rising steam.
Blake watched from the door, enjoying the view of all her jiggling parts as much as the effect that the cool air had on them. Her gorgeous breasts were bouncing high on her chest and her nipples were hard tight points that made his mouth water with the need to suck them. The jewel resting snugly in her navel begged for his attention. Her ass was firm and perfectly rounded and he couldn’t wait to take her from behind, to feel it against his stomach as he pounded into the welcoming heat of her pussy.
He groaned and reached for the hem of his shirt. He couldn’t get out of his clothes fast enough and almost landed on his ass when he tried to jerk his shoes off without unlacing them first. Finally he was just as naked as she was and he hurried out the door to join her.
Her eyes followed him as he walked closer to the hot tub.
Blake was perfection striding toward her with his huge cock bobbing in front of him. She moved toward the steps and knelt there waiting for him. When Blake stopped at the tub, his cock was just where she wanted it and Ally leaned in and took him in her mouth.
“Ummm…” she moaned. “You taste so good.” She licked around the crown, paying special attention to the notch just under the sensitive head. She used her lips to nibble along a particularly thick vein that ran underneath and followed it all the way to the base. She took the time to lick and suckle at his balls, enjoying the smoothness of the taut globes in her mouth.
“You shave,” she commented, loving the fact that he didn’t have a huge bush of hair covering his sex.
“I like to be clean and neat,” Blake stated in a tight voice, reveling in the feel of her hot little mouth moving over him. “Just like you.”
“I have some hair,” Ally commented while she licked him like an ice cream cone, stopping every once in a while to suck at the head.
“I like that you do,” Blake said. “You’re trimmed and neat, just like a woman should be. I’ve never been one for hairless pussy. It just isn’t right. Makes me feel like I’m with a little girl and that’s just wrong.”
“Ummm…” Ally said again as she took his long length as deeply into the back of her throat as she could and held it there for a moment. She heard Blake’s harsh curse and knew he was holding tight to his control to keep from trying to ram it deeper. Finally she pulled back and licked at the head, again hungry for the drops of cum that were already easing from him. “I never thought of it that way before. But I’ll admit that you have a point.”
“Ally,” Blake groaned when she took him into her throat again. “If you keep doing that, then I’m going to come and I really want to be inside you when that happens.”
“You will be inside me,” she grinned up at him and took just the head in her mouth and sucked it.
“Fuck, Ally,” Blake grunted and pulled away from her, his cock releasing with a loud pop. “I want to be buried so far in your hot little pussy that you still taste me in the back of your throat when I come.” He nudged her back from the steps and entered the hot tub. “Step up on the step there,” he urged her and when she did, he knelt in front of her, lining his mouth up with her pussy. “Let’s see if you taste as good as you look.”
With that, Blake used his fingers to part her folds and licked her slit from top to bottom and back up again, stopping to suckle her clit. Ally gripped his shoulders with her hands to maintain her balance as he used his mouth and fingers to plunder and explore. He would work her to the edge of orgasm with his fingers and then back off and use his tongue to sooth and caress. Finally Ally couldn’t take it anymore.
“Please, Blake,” she begged him. “Please make me come.”
Blake gave a harsh groan and buried two fingers in her core, thrusting and retreating with them as he used his whole mouth to stimulate her clit. The scrape of his teeth followed by the harsh suction of his mouth and then the gentle touch of his tongue was enough to send her crashing into orgasm. She knew that her screams were filling the air but was helpless to stop them. She felt Blake remove his fingers and replace them with his tongue and it was enough to trigger another round of small pulses through her.
“Enough,” she finally managed, feeling as if she were going to collapse. “I can’t take any more.”
Blake pulled back and smiled up at her. “Too bad. This is only the beginning.” He turned so that he could sit on the bench beside where she was standing and reached for the box of condoms. He dumped plenty out on the deck and grabbed one, opening it and standing to place it on his erection. He eased back into the water and pulled her onto his lap with her facing away from him. His hands disappeared under the water and then she felt the nudge of his cock at her opening. With one sharp thrust he was buried and Ally cried out at the bombardment of sensations.
“Put your arms up around my neck,” Blake said and guided her so that she laced her fingers behind his neck. His hands came back to her nipples and he tugged and pulled at them while he gave small thrusts inside her.
“No, fair,” Ally murmured to him. “I wanted to suck your cock.”
“I’ll let you suck this one,” Shep said from the doorway and stepped out of the shadows to join them. He was deliciously naked and Ally caught her breath at the sheer beauty of him. He was as tall as Blake, only with shaggy blonde hair that fell around his shoulders. She could barely make out a scar high on his shoulder that looked like a knife wound and she could see the marks
of what must have been bullet wounds. She’d once dated a cop and had seen the guys playing sports with no shirts on. She knew what a healed bullet wound looked like and Shep had many of them. He literally looked like a warrior and she could easily understand why women felt drawn to him.
Her eyes traveled downward as he walked toward them and she licked her lips at the view of his erection. It was everything a woman dreamed of and a few inches more. Shep was using his hand to stroke it from balls to tip as he walked. She couldn’t wait to get her mouth on him.
“I saw you sucking Blake’s cock, Ally. Watched him eat that pretty little cunt ‘til you screamed. I watched those gorgeous tits bouncing with every breath and the way that your nipples flushed and hardened even more with your orgasm.” He stepped into the hot tub until he was standing right in front of where she was sitting on Blake’s lap. With them sitting on the top shelf and Shep standing on the bottom, the water was at the top of his thighs and his cock was right there in front of her.
“You want to suck my cock, Ally?” Shep asked again and stopped his hand at the base and held it out to her.
Ally unwrapped her arms from Blake’s neck and leaned forward, crying out with pleasure at the way it changed the angle of Blake’s cock and pushed it deeper into her pussy. She rested her hands on Shep’s thighs and ran her tongue over the engorged tip of his cock, catching a drop of his semen when it slipped out. They both moaned in pleasure. Shep wrapped his hands in her hair and held it back out of her face so that he could watch her lick and suck at his flesh.
She felt Blake moving behind her and with his hands he guided her until she was standing on the shelf between where he sat and Shep stood. He used his hands to press her back into the arch that he wanted and surged high inside her again. She cried out around Shep’s cock and panted for air. Blake was fucking her now, working his cock in and out of her, and each hard thrust jarred Shep’s cock deeper into her mouth.
