It drove her crazy.
Running his fingers down the backs of her thighs to her bottom, Phoenix groaned. “Tell them what I did to you.”
Blade slid his fingers over her nipples, drawing a cry from her. “Yes. Tell us what Phoenix did to you.”
The brief attention he gave to her nipples in no way satisfied her. Instead, it left her aching for more. Her stomach muscles clenched at the slide of Hawke’s hand over it, her thighs trembling at the feel of Phoenix’s fingers moving over her still sensitive bottom hole. “He undressed me and turned me around, and bent me over. Oh!”
Hawke’s hand moved slowly down her body, not stopping until her parted her folds. “Did you like that?”
“Yes. Oh, God. Please do something.”
Blade chuckled, tugging her nipples once before releasing them again, increasing the awareness there. “We are doing something. Several things at once. So you were bent over, with that pretty bottom stuck out. What happened then?”
Aroused beyond belief, she squirmed restlessly, desperate for Blade to stroke her nipples, desperate for Hawke to touch her clit, desperate for Phoenix to push his finger inside her. Her desperation made her angry, and she snapped. “You know what happened then! Why are you doing this to me?”
Hawke frowned. “Doing what, little one? We’re just holding you, caressing you, and asking what happened with Phoenix.” He turned his head, glaring at his youngest brother. “Did he hurt you? Did he use enough salve?”
Phoenix sighed and gathered her against him. “I know what I’m doing, Hawke. I used salve, and went slow. Ask Sarah if I hurt her. Believe it or not, Blade and I are well practiced in taking women that way, or do you think any of those girls in the saloon are willing to take a chance of getting pregnant by an Indian?”
Blade stiffened against her back, his hands massaging her shoulders. “Not a conversation to have in front of our wife, Phoenix.”
Phoenix cursed again, and moved to the edge of the spring. “She knows I don’t want anyone but her. I didn’t hurt her. Check her out if you don’t believe me.”
Sarah gasped as she found herself turned and eased to her knees, a hand at her back pushing her down until her breasts were pressed against the smooth, wet rocks at the edge. Gulping at the awareness in her bottom when Blade grabbed one of the lanterns and held it behind her, she struggled to get up, but the firm hand at her back held her in place.
Hands moved over her bottom, parting her cheeks. Fingers ran over her bottom hole, one pushing slightly into her.
Hawke groaned. “She’s very sensitive there, isn’t she?”
Phoenix moved up to sit beside her, kissing her shoulder. “You have no idea.”
Blade said something under his breath she didn’t understand. “I’ll get the salve. It’ll help her feel better.”
Sarah cried out. “If I felt any better, I’d go crazy! Listen, you sons of bitches, if you don’t do something soon, I’m going to—”
Blade growled, a deep sound that seemed to come from his soul. “Watch your language.” A hard hand came down on her bottom, making her jump. “You’re not going to do a damned thing because there’s nothing you can do about it. You belong to us, remember? In case you haven’t noticed, we’re a hell of a lot bigger and stronger than you are, and we’re not going to be wrapped around your little finger like the other men on the ranch are with their wives. Behave yourself, or I’m going to give you a spanking that you won’t ever forget.”
Before she thought about the consequences of her actions, she turned to glare at him over her shoulder, the need to challenge him not to be denied. “Go ahead and do it! I’m not scared of you.”
“Yes, you are, but not that we’ll hurt you.” Blade knelt on the lower ledge of the flat rock next to her and kissed her hair. “Phoenix said that you were upset earlier.”
Although he hadn’t phrased it as a question, she knew by his tone that he expected an answer.
Turning to watch Phoenix head to his horse, naked and wet, and retrieve the metal tin from his saddle bag, she moaned. “Phoenix and I talked about it.” The feel of the cool rocks against her nipples threatened her sanity, and she found herself rubbing against them to get the friction they needed.
When she realized that her movements also wiggled her ass, she tried to stop, but couldn’t.
The water splashed slightly when Phoenix eased down on the other side of her, his smile one of pure seduction. “Yes, we did.” Setting the open tin in front of her, he ran a finger down her spine to her puckered opening. “She thought I didn’t want her, and was afraid she wasn’t a good wife. I told you the rest.”
He handed the tin to Hawke. “Here, you check her out while I tell you why she was crying.”
Stilling when Blade moved to stand behind her, Sarah sucked in a breath at the feel of her bottom cheeks being parted wide.
Phoenix reclined next to her, one hand supporting his head as he held himself propped on his elbow, while the other hand replaced Blade’s on her back. “She knows better now.”
Hawke chuckled. “It sounds like she’s gotten to you, too. I’m glad you’ve decided to take this seriously.” Running his finger over her forbidden opening, he touched his lips to her bottom. “Sarah hasn’t been treated very well, and she hasn’t had anyone to protect her. All that has changed.”
Blade slid a hand under her hair and cupped the back of her neck, turning her face toward his. “This is a dangerous place and you have rules to follow now in order to keep you safe. I know you’re not used to having anyone pay attention to you before, and have done what you could to be ignored, but that’s not an option for you anymore.”
Humbled by their concern, she smiled, loving the feel of Hawke’s caress over her back and bottom. “I know it’s dangerous here, but I feel so safe with you—safer than I’ve ever felt in my life. I can’t tell you how much that means to me.”
Blade’s voice deepened, his expression hardening. “You’re thinking about Willy. Anyone after you has to go through us to get to you. That’s not going to happen.”
Hawke parted her ass cheeks again. “So how did you like having your little bottom taken?”
Blushing, she tried to turn away, but Blade’s hand in her hair prevented it. “I didn’t even feel like myself.”
“No?” Blade took the seat beside her again, keeping her face turned toward his. “So what does it feel like to be taken there?”
A shiver went up and down her spine, the sensation of a finger, thick with salve going into her bottom making it difficult to concentrate. “Oh, God!”
The knowledge that Hawke was the one pushing his finger deep made the sensation even sharper. “It feels so sinful. It’s too private. I’m embarrassed that it feels so good.”
Blade ran a thumb over her bottom lip. “There’s nothing sinful about being taken by your husbands, and nothing to be embarrassed about. You’re ours. That’s the beginning and the end of it.” Pressing at her bottom lip, he watched her closely, his eyes flaring each time she cried out. “How does it make you feel when one of us touches you the way Phoenix touched you earlier—the way Hawke’s touching you now?”
Bending toward her, he brushed her lips with his. “Tell me.”
Struggling against the increasing awareness in such a private place, she bit her lip and groaned. “It makes me feel so helpless, but not helpless like I was in Waco. Helpless like a woman. I don’t know. It’s hard to explain.”
Especially when Hawke moved his finger inside her, and her brain stopped working.
Hawke withdrew his finger, pausing to kiss her bottom again. “She looks fine. I’m going to put some more salve into you, little one, and spread it around. I’m not hurting you, am I?”
“No.” She didn’t want to admit that Hawke’s gentle, intimate touch had aroused her, especially since he’d concentrated his attention on her bottom.
Hawke slid his into her again, his touch firmer than before. He murmured softly to her when she cr
ied out, the feel of being taken there making her tremble. “Easy, little one. I just want to spread the salve inside you. It’ll make you feel better.”
Gritting her teeth as the awareness and need for more continued to build, she threw her head back and wiggled, sucking in a breath when Blade cupped one breast while Phoenix cupped the other. “I can’t believe what you do to me. Oh, God. How can it feel so good?”
Chuckling softly, Hawke moved his finger with more firmness, pressing against the walls of her bottom. “You do like this. Hmm. Just in case you haven’t noticed, you do things to us, too.”
She couldn’t help but glanced down at Blade’s cock, frustrated that she couldn’t see it clearly beneath the swirling water. “I do?”
Blade closed his thumb and forefinger over her nipple, his gaze holding hers. “You do.”
Hawke pressed a thumb against her clit, moving it slowly back and forth. “At times you unnerve the hell out of me.”
Blade’s eyes narrowed. “You’re under my skin, but I won’t let you wrap me around your finger.” He tugged at her nipple, a slow smile spreading at her cry of pleasure. “Instead, I’m going to do whatever it takes to have you wrapped around mine.”
Blade stroked her nipple while bending to touch his lips to her shoulder. “You had the privilege of taking her virginity, and Phoenix took her ass first. It’s my turn to enjoy our wife and give her a taste of what she can expect from me.” Although he spoke to Hawke, he never took his eyes from hers.
Sarah gulped, remembering what Willy had forced Rose to do as she’d rushed out of Rose’s room. “I think I know what you want. Willy forced Rose to her knees and made her take his cock into her mouth. I ran out of the room, so I don’t know what she did, but if you show me, I’ll do my best.”
A cold chill went through her, and her position had embarrassment taking over again.
Blade frowned, running his hands down her back. “You stiffened up and there’s fear in your eyes. There’s no need for that.” His gaze flicked to Hawke’s. “I’ve got her. She turns to you for protection, and it’s about time she learned that she can come to me as well.”
Hawke eased his finger from her bottom. “She’s scared. I’m here, Sarah, but Blade’s right. You’re going to have to look to him and Phoenix for protection, too.”
Blade turned her back to face him. “Look at me.” He pushed her hair back from her forehead, his eyes glittering with something that stole her breath. “What you’re talking about doesn’t have to be the way you saw back in Waco.”
Pulling her against him, he settled her on his lap, running a hand over her breast. “Sex can be a lot of things. Back in Waco, you saw women use it to make enough money to survive. It’s not like that with us, is it?”
Lulled by his silky tone, Sarah looked up at him through her lashes, relaxing against him. “No. It isn’t. I thought it would be. When Willy looked at him, I wanted to vomit, but when you look at me, and touch me, it gives me a mushy feeling inside.”
Blade’s lips twitched. “Well, I’m glad we make you mushy, but I was hoping for a little more than that. I guess we’re gonna have to work harder.”
Her face burned, his teasing smile relaxing her even more. Giggling, she slapped at him. “That’s not what I meant.”
He caught her hand in his before it hit his chest, smiling as he opened it to kiss her palm. “I know what you meant, honey.”
He pushed her hair back from her forehead, as though he couldn’t stop touching it. “I get that same feeling when you touch me.”
“Really?” Frowning, she searched his face for any hint that he was still teasing her. Her stomach fluttered at the thought of having that kind of power over such a man.
Blade’s features, clearly visible in the light from the lanterns on either side of him now, softened. “I don’t get mushy. I get hard whenever you’re around.” Lifting her hands to his chest, he smiled. “Your touch definitely has an effect on me. I like the feel of your hands on me. I want to feel more.”
Gulping, Sarah slid a glance to her left to find both Phoenix and Hawke watching the scene playing out in front of them. Turning back to Blade, she gulped again. “I make you feel that way?”
“Yes, Sarah. You do. I’m your husband and lover now.” His eyes narrowed when her hands moved over his chest to his shoulders. “Don’t you like it when I touch you?”
Nodding, Sarah ran her hands down his arms, pausing now and then to press her fingertips against solid muscle. “The women at the saloon—?”
“They don’t exist anymore. There’s only you. Our wife.” Bending his head, he touched his lips to hers, his cock jumping against her thigh. “You’re everything I ever wanted—and more.”
He took her mouth slowly, as though savoring every second of their kiss.
Dizzy, she slid her hands over his chest and shoulders, clinging to him.
He sipped at her lips with a gentleness that ripped through her defenses, only to nip at them and strengthen his hold as if to remind her that he was in charge.
He built the pleasure in stages, the rhythm of his kiss changing from slow seduction to heat and demand. One kiss flowed into another, until she didn’t know where one began and the other ended. When he lifted his head, she forced her eyes open, desperate to see his face.
Her breath caught at the need glittering in his eyes, her pulse tripping at the way his hands tightened on her waist.
Lifting her from his lap, he glanced at Phoenix, who moved to stand behind her. “I don’t want you to do anything you’re not willing to do, and if you get scared about something, I want you to tell me.” Raising himself from the water, he sat on the outer ledge of the spring. “There’ll be times when you’re nervous, but in a good way. If it’s in a bad way, I want you to tell us.”
The tenderness in his eyes and in his tone wiped away the last of her trepidation, while the sight of his body and jutting cock filled her with a sense of excitement and anticipation. His cock seemed to grow under her gaze. “Do you want to touch me?”
Sarah shivered and leaned toward him while Phoenix slid his hands to her breasts and steadied her. “You won’t mind?”
Blade smiled, a smile filled with tension. “Come here. I want to feel your hands on my cock.”
Unable to resist the challenge and need in his eyes, Sarah slowly moved forward, flattening her hands on his thighs to steady herself. Smiling when his thighs tensed beneath her hands, she positioned herself between his powerful legs. “Are you sure I won’t hurt you?”
Blade’s jaw clenched. “Just a soft touch. I’ll tell you what to do.”
Phoenix tugged at her nipples. “Go on, Sarah. He’s dying for you to touch him.”
Mesmerized by the sight of his thick cock, and fascinated by the sight of his dark, sleek skin, Sarah knelt on the flat rock, the surface of the water just below her breasts. With her left hand on his thigh, she reached out the right, watching his face as she gently stroked his cock.
His deep groan startled her into pulling her hand back. His body bowed, the tension in it alarming.
Reaching out, he took her hand in his, pulling her back. “Son of a bitch. Don’t stop, honey. It feels good. Too damned good.”
“Did I hurt you?”
“You’re killing me.” Opening his eyes, he smiled. “Do it again.”
Confident now, and filled with a sense of feminine power, she reached for him again, this time with both hands. Running her hands up and down the length of his cock, she watched him, amazed at the groans of pleasure that poured out of him.
Slowing her strokes, she took the time to explore him, marveling that something so hard could feel so velvety in her hands. She lifted her gaze to his again, smiling to find him watching her. “It’s so hard, but so soft. I like touching you.”
Feeling like the luckiest woman in the world, she smiled tremulously. “It’s different, isn’t it?”
Holding her face between his large hands, he ran his thumbs over her cheeks
. “Tell me how it’s different. Don’t you dare cry.” Taking both of her hands in his, he kissed her palms. “Tell me what’s going through that pretty head of yours.”
Aware of Hawke’s and Phoenix’s sharp attention, Sarah sighed and glanced at each of them. “It’s so different. So wonderful. There’s no disgust in your eyes when I touch you. I can’t believe I can give you the kind of pleasure you give me.” Pulling her hands from his, she smiled and reached for his cock again. “Please. Show me how to please you. It’s so exciting to see that you like the way I touch you. Show me. Show me what to do.”
She didn’t want to sound silly and tell him that the affection and warmth in his eyes made her feel special, especially after he’d already claimed to fight the emotion that would wrap him around her finger.
An emotion she no longer could fight, and didn’t really want to.
His jaw clenched, his eyes narrowing. “You really are trying to kill me, aren’t you?” With another deep groan, he curved his hand around hers and guided her movements, the pleasure in his eyes filling her with a satisfaction and sense of connection to him that stunned her.
“Yes, honey. Just like that. Squeeze just a little bit. Oh, hell.” Throwing his head back, he released her hands and braced a hand on either side of his hips. “Slow down, Sarah, or I’m going to spill my seed too early. Damn it, Phoenix! Distract her.”
Phoenix chuckled softly against her neck, his hands sliding from her breasts and under the water to her slit. “She’s distracted, but it seems our wife is also a determined little thing. She’s really liking turning you into mush.”
Hawke lowered himself into the water and onto the flat rock next to Blade, his hooded gaze raking over her. “Yes, well, now that she’s seen the effect she has on all three of us, I’m afraid we’re going to have quite a battle on our hands.” With a soft smile, a smile she’d already realized was reserved just for her, he reached out to touch a fingertip to her nipple. “She’s got a sense of power now, one that I doubt she’s ever had before.”
