Brom kissed her cheek, drawing her gaze, and began talking. “We have enhanced senses. Our eyesight is better than the average human as is our sense of smell. We are stronger and faster than any man alive and we also have empathetic abilities.”
The silence that followed Brom’s last words was pregnant and rife with tension. Ty’s hands were clenched into fists and his jaw muscles ticked as he ground his teeth as if waiting for Nicole to reject them. Nicole leaned forward after letting go of Brom’s hand and by doing so she also dislodged Rand’s arm from around her shoulders. Tension invaded Brom’s body and he began to feel ill. Had Ty been right all along? Was she going to reject them now?
She rose to her feet, walked a few paces away from the sofa, and then spun back around to face them all. Brom didn’t lower his mental shield to see what she was feeling. He and his brothers had tried not to invade her personal space and privacy without her knowing and even though he wanted to know what she was feeling right at this moment, he didn’t think it was fair to her. So he waited, albeit impatiently. Although she tried to keep her expression stoic, Brom watched as a frown formed on her brow and from the gleam in her eyes she was either angry, upset, or both.
“Do you really think so little of me?” Nicole asked.
“What do you mean?” Ty asked his own question but Brom had a pretty good idea that his brother knew damn well what she meant. Maybe he was stalling for time to gather his thoughts before he answered.
“Do you really think what you’ve just told me would make me think less of you? I already knew about your…more. Do you think I would have still been here if I thought of you as some kind of…freaks? I’ve known from nearly the beginning. Have I looked at you differently?” Nicole’s voice rose in pitch with each word she spoke and she gesticulated with her arms.
“Women have never seen who we were before beneath the uniforms or the muscles on our bodies. They only ever saw us as sexual objects.”
Nicole turned to glare at Ty and her anger was clear. “Thank you so much for thinking so little of me. Now that I know what you really think, I’m going to bed.”
Brom sprang to his feet, using his enhanced strength and speed. He snagged Nicole around the waist before she could take two steps. “Don’t get pissed off, sugar. Ty didn’t mean that the way it sounded.” He gave Ty a hard stare and then softened his expression as he shifted Nicole in his arms until she was facing him. “We know you don’t see us as sexual objects. And no, you haven’t once looked at us as if we were from another planet. You’ve taken time to get to know us and we’ve done the same. We care for you a lot, Nicole, but none of us are good with relationships. We’ve never spent more than a few weeks with the same woman.”
Ty rose to his feet and pulled Nicole from Brom’s arms into his own and brought her up against the front of his body. “I’m sorry, baby. I’ve never been real good at communicating with women. I’m a very blunt man.”
Nicole moved back slightly until she could see Ty’s face and raised an eyebrow. “You think?”
Ty gave a chagrined smile but then he looked serious again. “I have never felt about a woman the way I feel about you. I want you in my life and in my, our, bed. But if you need more time, then I’ll understand.”
“Wait.” Rand got off the couch and moved in behind Nicole, placing his hands on her hips to keep her still. “There’s more.”
Nicole looked up over her shoulder at Rand with a frown. “More?”
Rand leaned down and kissed the top of her head. “Yes, sunshine, more.” He pulled her from Ty’s arms and led her back to the couch. Brom sat on her other side and Ty moved to sit on the coffee table in front of her. At least his oldest brother wasn’t keeping himself distant anymore. That gave Brom hope that Ty was willing to finally open up with their woman. Maybe they had a chance with her after all.
“We’re empathetic as we told you, but there is another ability we have that we haven’t told you about.” Rand looked to Brom and Ty and then back to Nicole. “We are able to connect with women we are attracted to on a deeper level than we first thought.”
Rand went on to explain about how their team leaders had been able to connect with Sara when they had found her earring and a strand of her hair wrapped around it. Then he explained how they had been able to see her when she had taken off the previous day. Brom waited with bated breath and wondered if she would feel violated that he and his brothers could see so much even when she wasn’t anywhere near them.
“Well, it’s good to know that if I’m ever in trouble that you will be able to find me. Just don’t make a habit of trying to feel what I feel or seeing into my head too often. Women value their privacy and don’t like knowing that their feelings are out there for all to read.”
The tension that had invaded his muscles released and he felt more relaxed than he had in a long time. From the sigh that left Ty’s mouth, his brother felt the same.
“We keep our mental shields in place all the time,” Ty said. “Most of the time we can keep out others’ emotions. But there are times that strong feelings leak through and we can’t do anything about that.”
Nicole shrugged and gave them each a smile. “As long as you don’t intentionally pry, I don’t care if you pick up on what I’m feeling. At least you all will know not to come near me if I’m pissed off.”
“There is that, sunshine,” Rand grinned.
“So,” Ty slid off the coffee table and knelt at her feet. His hands landed on her knees and he began to rub her legs through the denim of her jeans. “Are you willing to give us another chance, baby? We would love to show you how much we care about you.”
Brom decided now was the time to be blunter than Ty and he voiced what his older brother had really wanted to ask. “We want to make love with you, sugar. Will you let us?”
Chapter Eight
Nicole wanted to grab onto each of the men and pull them to her bedroom, strip down and give herself over to them but she was a little apprehensive about being naked and under the control of three men. Ty must have seen her anxiety, because he reached out and cupped her chin, tilting her head up until she met his gaze.
“We would never do anything to hurt you, baby. If you don’t like something we do, all you have to do is say stop and we will.”
Nicole licked her dry lips and exhaled. All the men were watching her and awaiting her answer but their muscles were bunched as if ready to pounce once she answered Brom’s question. She wanted this more than anything else, but she needed to gather her emotions first. Her head was spinning, trying to imagine all the scenarios that could occur while they made love to her together and although she wanted that more than her next breath, she wasn’t ready to deal with three big muscular men at once.
“I want to…” her voice trailed off.
“But?” Rand clasped her hand.
“I’ve only had sex once and I don’t think I could handle you together.”
“Once?” Ty asked in a hoarse voice.
Nicole’s cheeks heated but she nodded her head. “I had a little too much to drink, much to my shame. It did nothing for me so I decided the next time I had sex it would mean something. I thought I already told you?”
“You did but I didn’t realize that had been your one and only experience. I’m sorry your fist time wasn’t pleasurable for you, baby, but believe me, we will make sure you enjoy everything we do with you. We will all be in the room and on the bed with you but only one of us will penetrate you. That’s not to say that whoever isn’t making love with you won’t touch you. Do you mind that the others would want to get involved in making you feel good?”
She looked at each of them and imagined having three pairs of hands and three mouths touching her at once. Her breath hitched and she exhaled loudly. Her heart sped up, her breasts swelled, goose bumps erupted over her skin, causing her nipples to harden, and her clit ached, making her pussy clench and drip cream. Nicole shuddered and then watched in fascination as each man’s gaze tur
ned hot and hungry. They were looking at her as if she were the last woman on Earth, but that wasn’t all. The Bayhard brothers were looking at her as if they cared, for her.
Her heart expanded with hope and joy that maybe a relationship between them could work after all. Now that she knew the reason for their withholding wasn’t a lack of trust but their fear of rejection, Nicole felt like she belonged for the first time in forever. Those dreams of finding her true love she had pushed aside as a teenager surged back into the forefront of her mind. The three men with her had been her knights in shining armor once already. She would be stupid to throw that away. She was already half in love with them and after seeing how insecure such tough, brawny military men could be, especially Ty, since he was normally so confident and arrogant, she fell a little more.
“No.” She answered Ty’s last question and then held up a hand when he rose to his feet and took a step toward her. “But first I’d like to take a shower.”
Ty gave her a nod while Rand and Brom smiled at her. She got up off the sofa and walked toward the hall. All the while she could feel their eyes on her. The hair on her nape stood on end and her skin goose bumped with awareness. Flutters of nervous excitement did a dance in her belly and she took several deep breaths, trying to calm down. When she closed the door, some of her tension left and she was able to concentrate on what she wanted to do. After opening her dresser drawer she hesitated over pulling one of the large T-shirts she had commandeered as a nightie, not thinking it was sexy enough but then she realized it didn’t really matter. She wouldn’t have it on long anyway.
Nicole took her time in the shower, washing and conditioning her hair, shaving her legs and then washing every inch of her body. By the time she was finished, she knew she couldn’t delay any longer and stepped out to dry off. After moisturizing her skin and donning the T-shirt, she dried her hair, and brushed her teeth. There was no reason for her to stay in the bathroom. She glanced at her face in the mirror above the sink and saw the gleam of excited desire in her own eyes and hoped the men couldn’t see how eager she was when she returned to the bedroom.
With one last deep inhalation and slow exhale, she opened the bathroom door.
* * * *
Ty was so hard he wondered if his cock and balls had turned blue. While Nicole had been showering, he and his brothers had taken turns using the other bathroom to clean up. He hadn’t bothered to pull on a shirt or underwear, so every time he moved, his erection rubbed against the denim of his jeans and he felt like he was fit to burst. He’d taken a seat on the end of the bed in Nicole’s room while Brom and Rand were lying on it with their heads on the pillows. Although they looked calm and relaxed, he knew they were anything but.
Rand kept shifting and looking at the closed bathroom door and Brom had his hands clenched in fists down by his sides.
Ty looked up when the door opened and watched as pink suffused Nicole’s cheeks and she froze in the doorway like a doe caught in headlights. They had to get her to relax for this to go well, so he decided to take matters into hand, so to speak.
Rising from the bed, he slowly walked toward her and stopped when he was in reaching distance. She blinked and looked up at him and he slowly lifted his hands and palmed her cheeks between them. “Don’t be nervous, baby. We’ll take good care of you.”
Nicole nodded and licked her lips. Ty groaned at the unconsciously provocative action and then leaned in and down until their lips connected. Her lips were soft, warm, and moist, and she leaned into him until her body was resting against his. He brushed his lips back and forth over hers, not demanding too much too fast. When she shifted and he felt her hard nipples poking into his chest, he was lost. Growling with need, he opened his mouth and licked over her lips. She didn’t disappoint him and let him in. Pushing his tongue into her mouth, he slid it along hers and then her moist cavern. She tasted so sweet and he knew one kiss would never be enough. He wanted to have her wrapped up in his arms for the rest of his life. Removing his hands from her face, he caressed over her shoulders down her arms and gripped her waist. Without breaking their lip lock, he brought her hips against his and thrust his pelvis into her stomach.
She moaned and gripped his forearms tightly and he wasn’t sure if she was using him as an anchor or if she was preventing him from moving away. Ty had no intentions of ever letting her go again.
Sliding one of his hands up her side, he caressed the outside of her breast and when she groaned, he enveloped the whole globe in his palm. She whimpered and arched into his touch, letting him know she was with him every step of the way in her desire. He grasped her nipple between index finger and thumb and squeezed until she cried out. Ty lifted his head, wanting to make sure he hadn’t caused any pain, but when he saw her face slack with arousal, he knew she was as turned on as he, but he needed to hear her say the words.
“Are you okay, baby?”
“Yeah,” she sighed.
“Do you want more?”
“Yes. Please.”
Ty scooped her up into his arms and carried her over to the bed. He was pleased to see his brothers had moved to give him room and placed her in the middle of the mattress. Not wanting to break their physical connection, Ty followed her down and covered her with his body, but made sure to take most of his weight on his knees and elbows. He took her mouth again, except this time there was no prelude. Slanting his mouth for a better fit, he kissed her deeply, wildly, hotly, carnally.
Nicole moved under him restlessly and he knew she was consumed with hunger and ready for the next level. Slowing the kiss, he lifted his head and while keeping his gaze locked to hers, he caressed up her leg, bringing her large T-shirt with his hand until he had the knit cotton up over her breasts. When he couldn’t stand it any longer, he lowered his head to look his fill.
Nicole’s breasts were full, firm, and high on her chest, but instead of being tipped with pink or dusky rose-colored areolas and nipples they were a dark brown color and the dark peaks were hard and elongated.
“Fucking beautiful,” Ty rasped as he shifted down the bed until his head was level with her chest. The bed dipped on either side of them and he glanced up to see Rand and Brom looking at her breasts with carnal awe. He moved the last few inches and then laved his tongue over one peaked crest and she rewarded him with a low moan. Ty wanted so much more from her. He wanted to hear her scream his name when she climaxed, but first he intended to make sure his woman was ready to accept his body.
He opened his mouth and drew her nipple in and suckled her firmly while caressing his hand back down her bare side, following the curves of her beautiful form and relishing the sensation of her soft warm skin beneath his palm. When he got to her hip, he pushed his hand underneath her and gripped one ass cheek. Nicole went wild beneath him and he still hadn’t touched her pussy yet. But that was about to change right now.
* * * *
Nicole was so turned on she felt like her body was on fire. She never suspected her nipples would be so sensitive, but when Ty licked across it and then took it into his mouth and began sucking on it, she couldn’t stay still. Her insides were aching from chest to pussy and every pull of his mouth on her tit caused the internal fire to burn hotter, electrical pulses to shoot down to her vagina, causing the muscles inside to clench and release, and cream to leak out.
Goose flesh erupted when he caressed his hand down her side, but when he slipped a hand under her ass and kneaded one of her cheeks she unconsciously arched her pelvis up into him, trying to get some relief on her aching clit by rubbing her pussy against his body.
He released her nipple and began to lick and nibble his way down her torso and belly. He paused to rim her navel with his tongue and then licked the sensitive skin just inside her hip bone. Even though the sensation amped her arousal a little higher it also tickled. She couldn’t prevent a giggle from escaping.
“Mmm,” Ty murmured before lifting his head. “I found a sweet spot and a ticklish spot all in one.” He lowered
his head and licked her again but then his tongue slid across her skin to the top of her panties.
He shifted his hand and both thumbs pushed beneath the elastic band and then while holding her gaze he nudged her legs apart, sat up between her spread thighs and slowly pulled the panties from around her hips. Without breaking eye contact, he moved from between her legs, pushed them back together and then removed her undies and threw them aside. Caressing up the inside of her legs, he gently pried them apart again and when there was enough space he once more moved between them.
Dark spots began to form before her eyes and she realized that she was holding her breath. Taking a deep breath, she let it out in a rush when Ty slithered down the bed until he was lying flat on his belly with his head in perfect alignment to her cunt. What he did next caused her to squeak with embarrassment and even though she tried to thwart him, he wouldn’t be denied.
Ty pressed against the inside of her upper thighs and pushed her legs back toward her head, which brought her hips up off the mattress and exposed her ass and pussy for all to see. She was about to object to being on display but she never got the chance. Just as she opened her mouth, Rand leaned in and started kissing her. She moaned and wriggled when a hot tongue slid from her ass up to her clit. More hands landed on her body and held her down. She felt totally controlled and loved how freeing it made her feel, so helpless and feminine but totally turned on.
Rand’s tongue twirled and danced with hers and then explored every inch of her mouth. Ty ate at her pussy like a starving man, making growling and slurping noises as if he were enjoying a last meal. Brom had somehow managed to get his head in under one of her legs and was currently suckling one nipple while pinching and tweaking the other with his fingers.
The fire burning inside her was raging out of control and she was frightened she may just spontaneously combust. As Rand lifted his mouth from hers, Ty slowly pushed a finger inside her pussy, causing her to cry out with pleasure. And then he added another finger and began to thrust them in and out of her wet vagina. When his tongue laved over her clit she tried to buck but the hands on her had her effectively pinned to the bed. Warm tingles flowed through her body, causing her muscles to tense up. Her womb felt heavy and ached along with her pussy and clit as juice continued to leak from her body. The tension got bigger and bigger until she was gasping for air, barely able to fill her lungs.
