Liberation

by Becca Van

  “I’m not a possession.”

  Rocco drew back, his heart aching with pain. He couldn’t believe she would think such a thing.

  “Major, we need you to stay and interpret. Maybe she didn’t read me right.”

  Delta pushed herself up and scooted back toward the bedhead, bringing her knees up toward her body and hugging her legs with her arms. “I didn’t misunderstand.”

  Major kneeled on the end of the bed and signed quickly. Rocco was glad his brother also spoke out loud so he and Ace knew what he was saying.

  “The men of his town are different, baby. We like seeing to our woman’s needs no matter what they are. We don’t think of you as a possession and never will, but now that you’ve agreed to be in a relationship with us, you are our responsibility.”

  Delta frowned. “No one is responsible for another adult. Everyone is responsible for themselves.”

  “You’re right,” Ace replied. “However, the men in this town are very protective and possessive. We don’t care what other people think of us, but we will always make sure you are happy, safe, and comfortable.”

  “That means we will clean you up after making love with you. We will make sure you eat regularly and adhere to the rules that are set out,” Rocco explained.

  “Rules? I don’t need rules. I’m not a child.” Delta glared at him.

  “No, you’re not,” Major said. “The men of this town involved in polyandrous relationships have had to protect their women from danger. They’ve been on the run from abusive as well as evil murdering men. Add in the prejudice the women have had to deal with when the first few ménage relationships formed, well, you can imagine how well that went over. The sheriffs and the men set out rules to help keep the women and children safe. It’s not that we’re arrogant controlling assholes, baby, we just need to make sure that our women and kids are safe.”

  “What’s that got to do with this?” Delta asked then pointed at the wash cloth.

  “We want you to be comfortable, honey,” Rocco said.

  “You have no need to be embarrassed, darlin’.” Ace took her hand in his and squeezed gently. “We’ve seen everything there is to see.”

  Delta lowered her head and while her cheeks were still tinged pink, she lifted her eyes again, and met each of their gazes. “I’m not used to it, though.”

  Rocco bit his tongue to keep a grin from curving his lips. He couldn’t believe how shy their woman was after making love with Major. She’d been so uninhibited while in the throes of passion, he couldn’t wait to see her that way again, but this time while she was making love with him.

  He leaned forward and brushed his lips over hers. Rocco groaned when she opened to him immediately. Her arms moved from around her knees to loop around his neck, and when she straightened her legs, he hooked an arm around her waist and tugged her down the mattress.

  He delved into her mouth, sliding his tongue along and around hers, inhaling her scent into his lungs and savoring her taste. She moved closer to him, pressing the front of her body against his. Her hard, little nipples brushed against his chest and then stabbed into his skin. He moaned and she whimpered. When she lifted one of her legs and slung it over his hip, he took the opportunity to clean her up with the damp cloth. She gasped as he wiped over her sensitive folds, but he was glad she didn’t baulk or protest, but instead kissed him hungrily.

  He felt the mattress move and forced his passion-heavy lids up to see Ace had moved in behind Delta. He closed his eyes again, flung the cloth over his shoulder to the floor, and then caressed up and down her side.

  Rocco broke the kiss before licking and nipping his way down to her chest. Her neck arched as she threw her head back until it thudded against Ace’s chest. He pressed against her shoulder, pushing both her and Ace over until his brother was lying on his back and she was half reclining on top of him. He cupped both her breasts in his hands, taking time to knead and mold her soft, silky, supple flesh. She gasped and groaned when he thrummed his thumbs over the hard peaks and then arched up into his hands when he squeezed her nipples between his fingers and thumbs.

  Ace was kissing and licking at the side of her neck while smoothing his hands up and down her sides. When her legs began to move restlessly, Rocco knew the smoldering embers were beginning to flame hotter and brighter.

  His cock was so hard it was aching and he could feel moisture bubbling to the tip of his dick. He wasn’t sure how much longer he could go without burying himself deep inside her sexy body, but he needed to make sure she was wet and ready. There was no way in hell he was causing her pain just because he was overeager.

  Rocco tugged her away from Ace, grasped her hips and flipped her over onto her stomach. Delta gasped with shock and glanced at him over her shoulder. He tugged on her hips, pulling her up onto her hands and knees and nodded to his brother.

  Ace scooted into the middle of the bed, pushing his legs in under Delta’s body.

  “Is she shocked?” Rocco asked.

  Ace nudged Delta’s gaze up toward his with a finger under her chin. “No, she looks hungry. She’s licking her lips while staring at my cock.”

  “Make sure she’s okay with this, Ace,” Rocco rasped out.

  “I have to get her gaze off my cock—Oh, fuck yeah.” Ace groaned.

  “She’s fucking amazing.” Rocco ran his hands up and down Delta’s back and squeezed her ass cheeks. She was licking at Ace’s cock with her ass higher in the air. He hoped she liked having her ass played with, but he would soon find out.

  Rocco released her butt cheeks and caressed up and down her folds. She gasped and groaned when he rubbed light circles over her clit and then dipped into her soaked pussy.

  “She’s dripping with cream.”

  “Ah shit!” Ace gasped as he threaded his fingers into Delta’s hair.

  Rocco moved in closer behind her and curved his front over her back. He was just in time to see their woman suck Ace’s cock into her mouth. “She’s so fucking sexy. So passionate.”

  “Hell yes, she is.” Ace made a weird gurgling sound before meeting his gaze. “You’d better get inside of her fast, bro. She’s sucking me like a pro.”

  “Don’t fucking say that.”

  “You know I’m not trying to be derogatory. What I meant was that she’s naturally passionate.” Ace sucked in a deep breath and then tugged on Delta’s hair.

  She released his cock with a loud pop and lifted her gaze to Ace’s. “You have to stop, darlin’.”

  She shook her head and was about to take Ace’s cock back into her mouth, but Rocco wrapped and arm around her waist and tugged her back toward him. He spread the cream coating her folds, stroked over her clit, and then aligned his cock with her entrance.

  He stilled and grit his teeth as soon as the tip of his dick breached her hot, tight, wet cunt. The urge to shove into her hard and fast was almost too strong to ignore, but he resisted. However, when she pushed back against him, he nearly lost it. Her internal muscles clamped around his cock as he sank in another inch or so. He tightened his hold on her waist to hold her still.

  “Fuck. So responsive. Play with her nipples. You need to distract her for me.”

  “That good?” Ace asked.

  “Better.”

  Ace reached under her and from the way her pussy clamped around him and she moaned, Rocco knew his brother was plucking at her nipples.

  He drew back and began to stroke slowly in and out of her pussy, loving the way she soaked him in her cream and how her tight muscles pulsed around his hard, aching cock.

  Rocco inhaled the sweet musky scent of her honey and her natural pheromones. Never had a woman smelled as good, as right as Delta did. His heart was full of warmth and emotions he never felt before. He hadn’t realized how cold and numb he was until she came into their lives, and now that she was in his and his brothers bed, he had no intention of letting her go.

  Ever.

  When Rocco felt her pussy begin to swell inside, he knew
she was ready for more. He shifted upright onto his knees, gripped her hips and began to love her in earnest. He drew back and then powered forward until he was buried inside of her to the root before retreating again.

  She whimpered and gasped, moaned and groaned each time he pressed deep and withdrew. He increased the pace, depth, and strength of his thrusts until his pubis and thighs were slapping against her butt and the back of her thighs.

  Each time he embedded his cock to the hilt, she soaked him with her juices until they were dripping from his balls.

  When he felt the warning tingle at the small of his back he knew he wasn’t going to last long. “Rub her clit.”

  Ace shifted his legs out from under her body and then reclined on his back across the bed, his head under Delta’s chest. He sucked one of her nipples into her mouth and then reached down toward her pussy.

  “Oh,” Delta moaned, her cunt muscles rippling along the length of his dick.

  Rocco couldn’t take much more. He pistoned his hard cock in and out of her pussy, and after licking his thumb, pressed it against her star.

  Delta tensed, stopped breathing and froze, but when he applied more pressure on her asshole, air exploded from her lungs as she groaned loudly.

  The heat in his lower back spread around toward his groin and into his balls. His balls hardened and lifted up toward his body. Rocco drove in hard before pulling back and shoving in hard again. Delta began to shake and he could feel tension invading her cunt muscles as she drew closer to climax, but he was about to go over, too.

  Rocco pressed harder on her pucker, breaching her ass with the tip of his thumb and slammed into her again and again. A deep guttural sound emitted from her mouth just before she started screaming.

  Her cunt clamped around him so hard, it was difficult to continue sliding his cock in and out of her pussy, but he didn’t stop. He wanted to wring every little bit of her orgasm out of her until she couldn’t hold herself up anymore.

  Rocco shifted on his knees and surged back in deep, making sure the head of his dick rubbed over her G-spot and sent her careening straight back up into another climax. She shook and shivered, bathing him with her cum as it gushed from her body.

  His balls were on fire and he shouted as he drove in deep and froze. Blazing liquid heat shot up from his balls, along his dick and out of the top of his penis as he climaxed. A ringing set up in his ears and white streaks of light passed in front of his eyes and he came and came and came. His mind, body and soul seemed to shoot up into the stratosphere, and although he could see the entire universe with an astounding clarity, he only had eyes for Delta.

  She was the everything to him. The air he breathed, the reason his heart beat, the love of his life. Everything he’d had to endure before meeting her was worth it just so he could hold her in his arms, make love with the one woman meant to be his and his brothers.

  All the pain and violence he’d seen while fighting for his country fled. His cold, empty heart filled with so much warmth and love, it overflowed. His soul, which had been so numb, so unfeeling, came roaring back to life.

  He didn’t care if she thought them over the top with their rules and regulations. Those rules had been set up to keep the women and children of Slick Rock safe and secure. She’d get used to them eventually.

  Rocco would do anything to keep her safe and happy even if that meant spanking her ass.

  When his breathing started to even out he blinked his gaze into focus and eased his semi-flaccid cock from her pussy. He sat back on his bent legs pulling her with him. She leaned against his chest as she panted for breath and gazed up at him over her shoulder.

  He combed his fingers into her hair and kissed her, passionately, lovingly, and hoped she came to love him and his brothers as much as he loved her.

  Rocco released her lips and then kissed each of her eyelids, her nose, her forehead, and then her lips again. She opened her eyes and met his gaze. His heart lurched at what he saw in those beautiful jade green eyes.

  Delta might not love him yet, but she was definitely starting to care for him.

  However, deep down in his subconscious he was worried for her safety.

  Someone had broken into the diner and destroyed the place. What filled him with fear was how the fucker had tried to get to their woman.

  He and his brothers were going to have to work with the sheriffs and see if they could find out who was after Delta. Maybe the security cameras had picked up something before the power had been cut.

  They were going to have to meet up with the Alcott brothers. He mentally cursed himself for not thinking about that when Giles had called to apologize. If he had, the sheriffs could have already arrested the bastard.

  He chuffed out a frustrated breath. He was clutching at straws. Giles would have told him and his brothers if that had been the case and the asshole would have been arrested.

  He pushed his thoughts aside when Delta caressed his cheek and then leaned up to kiss his lips. He could worry about all of that later. Right now, he needed to concentrate on his woman’s needs.

  He gently lifted her into his arms, gained his feet and carried her toward the bathroom. She had to be sore now and a soak in a hot bath would help ease any tenderness.

  Ace rushed ahead of him, flicked the light on and turned the taps on.

  Rocco sat on the edge of the tub with Delta sitting across his thighs.

  “What’s wrong?” she asked.

  “Nothing’s wrong, honey,” he answered.

  “Then why are you frowning?”

  “I’m worried about you. You have to be tender.”

  She ducked her head when she started blushing but nodded in agreement.

  Rocco lifted her gaze to his with a finger under her chin. “Ace will take care of you, Delta.”

  She glanced at Ace who was already sitting in the filling spa bath and nodded.

  Rocco helped her into the tub and then headed to clean up in his own bathroom. After that he was going to search out Major and talk to him about the incident at the diner. He didn’t like the idea of Delta staying there by herself after someone had broken in, but he had a feeling if they asked her to move in with them she would refuse.

  “What the hell do we do now?” he asked himself as he stepped in under the hot water.

  Chapter Twelve

  “Come over here, darlin’,” Ace said as he crooked a finger at her.

  Delta slid along the seat in the spa and was grateful when Ace clasped her upper arms and lifted her into his lap.

  She was so satiated her muscles felt like jelly and she wasn’t sure she could bear her own weight. She sighed with contentment as she leaned back into his big, muscular body. The hot water felt wonderful on her stiff aching muscles, and while her pussy was feeling tender, it wasn’t all that painful. She couldn’t believe she’d made love to two men.

  She felt as if her heart and soul was soaring free after breaking away from the shackles society had placed her in. Although she was happy about it, she couldn’t understand why Major, Rocco, and Ace were attracted to her, but if she overthought things, she might end up destroying what they’d started and she didn’t want that. Not when she had everything she’d dreamed about coming to fruition.

  Ace cupped her chin and brought her gaze up to his. “How are you feeling, darlin’?” he asked as he signed.

  She giggled when he signed the word house instead of feeling.

  “What?”

  She turned to face him so she was straddling his lap, very aware of his erection pressed against her mound when she got a little too close. She braced her hands on his biceps about to move back so she didn’t hurt him, but he must have read the intentions in her eyes because he snagged an arm around her waist and pulled her tighter against him.

  “Stay where you are, Delta. You’re not hurting me. Now, tell me why you giggled.”

  She signed the word feeling and formed it on her lips. He copied her until she nodded to let him know he had it r
ight.

  “What did I ask you, then?”

  Delta decided it was time to use the voice she couldn’t hear. She’d had hours and hours of practice forming words with a speech therapist, and while she felt vulnerable and uncomfortable about speaking, she decided she couldn’t hide out forever. Plus, if Ace, Major, or Rocco ever made fun of her, she would leave them without a backward glance.

  Why did that thought make her heart ache?

  But deep down she knew they would never do anything to deliberately hurt her, which was why she’d taken a chance on them, why she’d agreed to make love and try a relationship with them.

  “You asked, how are you house, darlin’.” She pressed the tips of two fingers to her voice box as she spoke.

  Ace’s eyes widened and his mouth gaped open as if he was in shock. When he didn’t do or say anything, she felt shame and humiliation well up in heart and soul. Tears burned the back of her eyes and she was just about to push off his lap when he palmed her face between his hands.

  “You spoke. You are so fucking amazing, darlin’. I can’t believe you can talk. How did you learn when you can’t hear?” He frowned as he stared into her eyes. “Why the hell are you crying?”

  He turned his gaze toward the bathroom door and said something, but she had no idea what since she couldn’t see his lips face on. She gripped his wrists and tried to pull his hands away from her face but he didn’t let go.

  She shoved to her feet and spun away from him just as the bathroom door burst open. Major and Rocco hurried toward her but she didn’t want any of them touching her right now. She was so close to breaking down, if they so much as looked at her she would be crying up a storm.

  Delta berated herself for being so gullible. She should have known not to get involved, that she would only end up embarrassing herself and heartbroken. How could she feel so much for them after knowing them for such a short time? And yet she did. The pain in her heart was so intense she wanted to double over and wail out her grief.
