  When the rain eased a bit, he spoke. “Okay, you two. I need to tell you a story.”

  Chapter Eleven

  Abe led Chapel into the bathroom. Levi followed and closed the door behind them, then crossed the short distance and switched on the shower. As the hot water flooded the stall, both men turned to her.

  She was soaked to the skin and had been shivering most of the ride home. Abe had drawn her aside and insisted she ride with Levi to ensure he wouldn’t try to run again. Honestly she couldn’t have left his side if she’d wanted. Her heart was firmly entwined with his, especially after his heart-wrenching confession.

  The story of a boy with an addiction unfurled, and Levi didn’t leave out a bit of his part in Bryan Keer’s death. Levi had been the last one to touch him and someone had to pay for his death since the drug in Bryan’s body had been untraceable.

  “Let us help you out of those wet clothes,” Levi rasped. He reached for her even as Abe’s strong hands found the button of her jeans and he peeled them down her hips. Levi stripped away her outer layer and her shirt beneath, which was sculpted to her as if it were a second skin. This left her in a thin tank top.

  “Mmm, I think I’ll leave this one on.” Levi held her hips and studied the swell of her breasts against the pale pink fabric. She hadn’t bothered with a bra and the rosy tips poked through the cloth.

  A shiver rent her and Abe shot him a look. “Better not. She’s frozen.”

  Goose bumps broke over her body and she clenched her teeth to keep them from chattering. Abe wrapped a warm arm around her and bodily lifted her into the shower. She stood beneath the streaming water, basking in the comforting heat. Through the hazy glass door she saw both men undressing too.

  The door opened and Levi greeted her with the crooked grin she loved so much. She slid an arm around his neck and towed him inside with her. He pressed her against the shower wall and captured her mouth.

  Abe was suddenly on her other side, his muscled thighs trapping her against Levi. As if she’d ever want to move. She was exactly where she needed to be. She’d waited her whole life to be loved like this.

  White heat coiled low in her belly and her pussy clenched hard. A trickle of cream wet her inner thighs. Levi plunged a slippery hand between them and lightly stroked her petals.

  “Yes,” she hissed, turning for Abe’s kiss. While Levi worked his magic between her legs, Abe plunged his tongue deep into her mouth. He lashed her to him with one arm and slid a palm down her breast to the hardened nipple. When he pinched it between his fingers she cried out.

  Arching against them, she fought to keep track of Abe’s wandering hands and Levi’s seeking fingers, Abe’s nipping bites on her belly and Levi’s hot tongue on her breasts. Then she succumbed to the ecstasy they gave her.

  Her hot rasps filled the shower. Their big male bodies pressed in on her and when her knees buckled, they supported her.

  Abe’s mouth slanted over hers again and again, filling her head with his musky flavors and the coffee he’d grabbed at the convenience store on the way home. He plucked her nipple deliciously and she squirmed in his hold.

  Levi sank to his knees before her. She cradled his sleek head and guided him lower to her neediest spot. Her pussy throbbed with want. She needed them to relieve the ache in her core and then fill her. Together.

  His rough facial hair seared her skin as he buried his face between her thighs. Using a hand, he coaxed her into a wider stance. When the tip of his scorching tongue met her sensitive folds, she thought she’d die.

  “That’s it, darlin’. Let him have a taste. Then it’s my turn.”

  “I won’t last that long,” she cried. She ran a palm down Abe’s ripped abs and located the velvety head of his shaft. She smeared the drop of pre-come she found there with the pad of her thumb before it was washed away under the stream of water.

  He dropped his face to the hollow of her throat and groaned. The vibration rocked her. She bucked her hips against Levi’s mouth. Each flick of his tongue nudged her up another step toward the peak of her desire. Release was so close, she quivered.

  “More,” she gasped, urging him closer. He added a finger to her opening and she contracted hard around his digit.

  “Oh, that’s it, baby. Come for him. God, you’re beautiful.” Abe sank his teeth into her straining nipple and she exploded in a bright blaze of ecstasy.

  Levi lapped at her juices and ground her nubbin against her body with the point of his tongue, extending her release. Before she could even come down, Levi was standing and Abe lifting her. The blue walls of the bathroom whirled past her vision as she was carried to the bedroom. A brisk rub with a towel brought her back to her senses and she found herself lying on the massive bed with her two lovers before her—still wet and with erections like steel.

  Abe gave his head a cursory swipe with his towel and wiped his body hastily. She gripped his biceps. Water droplets wet her fingers. She brought one tip to her mouth and licked it off.

  A groan sounded from both men. She met Levi’s hot gaze and a surge of passion filled her soul. “Dry off. I need you.”

  He flashed a grin that went straight to the pit of her stomach. She watched as he stroked the moisture from his muscles. When he was finished, he dropped the towel to the floor and approached the bed on quiet feet.

  He gripped his stiff cock at the root and ran the shaft through his fingers once.

  Twice. “Who gets her first?”

  Her pussy contracted hard at the gravelly need in his voice. Abe focused on Levi’s rod with a smile. “Whoever’s hardest.” “I think Chapel should be the judge.”

  She leaned up onto her elbows and waggled her fingers at them. They approached the bed together. Abe stood at the side, his cock inches from her face. Levi climbed onto the bed with her and thrust his staff into her hand. She wrapped her fingers around the velvety length and met his gaze. As she pumped his cock in her fist he released a low growl.

  Looking to Abe, she encircled the thick root of his sex and drew it toward her mouth. A full-body shudder racked him. “Christ, Chapel.”

  “Damn, your fingers are magic.” Levi’s tone settled over her like silk against her heated flesh. Power welled within her. Pleasuring two men at once was mind-blowing. She never wanted to stop.

  Abe threaded his fingers through her hair and Levi fisted her long locks, tugging lightly.

  “God, yeah, take him. You love his big cock in your throat, don’t you?” Levi asked.

  She mewled around Abe’s rod. He thrust it farther into her mouth so the thick head skimmed the back of her throat. She swirled her tongue around the shaft and hollowed her cheeks as she sucked.

  “Gorgeous,” Abe rasped.

  Levi moved his hips in time to the rhythm of her fingers. The juices from her orgasm soaked her thighs. She let her knees fall apart to reveal the wetness.

  “Yeah, you want it, baby doll. I see you do. Who’s harder?” Levi pulled her head back to meet his gaze. Abe’s cock was still in her mouth and she released it smoothly. “It’s a tie.”

  “You little wench, I knew you’d say that,” Abe teased. He gripped her upper arms and threw her onto her back. She bounced lightly on the mattress before Levi covered her with his rock-hard body.

  His cock nudged her moist folds and his gaze burned into hers. Lust and love mingled in his stare. She’d never seen a more perfect expression before. Unless it was Abe’s look of arousal.

  She rocked her hips upward, pressing against Levi’s stiff member. “Fuck me and I’ll make a better decision.”

  Levi looked up for Abe’s approval. He nodded with a hint of a smile. “Do it. Drive into her.” Hooking his hands behind her knees, Abe drew her legs upward, splaying her wide for Levi’s invasion.

  Dark whips of need lashed her insides. She whimpered for more.

  With exquisite slowness Levi eased his cock inside her. She held her breath as he stretched her, filled her. Stuffed her. She needed more.

&n
bsp; “Please.” She reached for Abe but he pressed her flat on the bed with a hand on her belly. “Fuck him, baby. I want to see him wet with your juices. Come all over his cock and then I’ll fuck you.”

  “Together,” she pleaded. The memories of their cocks slipping against each other through the barrier of her body drove her mad. She needed it again. It had been too long.

  In one swift thrust Levi was fully seated inside her. His body tensed and his face reddened. “Jesus, she’s tight.”

  “She’s needy. We’ll have to work her over better tonight.” Abe’s cock bobbed against his abs. He rubbed it against the tip of her breast and she moaned.

  “Move!” she cried.

  Levi obeyed her command. He sank deep into her again and again, withdrawing almost to the tip. She watched his veined shaft pull out of her body, glistening with her cream. He slid his hands under her ass and drew her up to meet his thrusts. She lay surrounded by them, wanting more. So much more.

  She squirmed and bucked against him, seeking relief from the deep burn. Her clit ground against Levi’s body with every movement, driving her higher and higher. She’d thought her last orgasm overwhelming. The fires of her impending release made the other seem like an insignificant flicker.

  “Oh God!”

  “That’s it, lover. Come for me.” Levi rammed hard, lifting her off the bed.

  She splintered with a resounding cry. Pulsations ripped through her and she grew mindless to everything but Levi’s sharp, rasping breaths and the plump head of Abe’s shaft nudging her nipple.

  Levi drew out of her body while she was still contracting. She tipped her hips up to follow him. Then his mouth slammed over hers, swallowing her gasps. “I’m going to watch Abe use you hard before I’ll give you more, darlin’.”

  “Yes.” She curled a hand around his nape and kissed him wildly. Her body was a feral being, seeking release, demanding release. That’s what she lived for—to be loved by these men and to give as much as she could in return.

  She locked her hand around Levi’s shaft and rolled the wet head through her fingers. She wanted to taste him, but before she could say so, he rolled onto his back.

  “Flip over,” Abe commanded. She met his gaze and in that instant all the love they shared vibrated the air. “Go down on Levi while I fuck this pretty little pussy.” He prodded her sensitive entrance with two fingers. Her walls clamped around his hand. He moaned and helped her roll atop Levi.

  Gripping her hips, Abe drew her ass high into the air. He pressed on her lower back until she was arched to his satisfaction. Then he guided her head toward Levi’s waiting cock.

  She sucked his shaft deep into her mouth. Their mingled flavors burst on her tongue. She spent long minutes working over his shaft. Suddenly Abe’s cock was pressing at the quick of her. She mewled and thrust her ass against him, begging for him to fill her.

  In one powerful nudge, he sank to the root. His cock throbbed against her wet walls, sending chills of lust through her. Levi made a noise of appreciation. Up the length of his body, she met his gaze. The flash of his eyes ratcheted up her desire another notch.

  Abe began to move, fucking her slowly. He gripped her hips perfectly and the harsh sound of his breathing turned her insides to liquid. Her pussy clenched around him and he groaned.

  “Damn, you little vixen, you’re going to undo me before we’ve begun.”

  Levi held her hair aside in order to watch her lips encompass his rod. Tendrils of heat captured her, pinning her securely to each of her lovers. The loves of her life. She could barely recall a time when her heart didn’t beat for them.

  Abe drove into her with exquisite slowness. The tip of his cock stroked the sensitive knot of need within her. She tore her mouth away from Levi’s shaft and moaned. “I’m not going to last.”

  “Don’t.” Abe delivered a light smack to her ass. She and Levi cried out as the shock ripped through her and into Levi’s body. “Come on me, baby. Then we’ll both get inside you and fuck you until you scream.”

  His hot words sent her flying over the edge. Each blissful pulsation of her pussy released more juices, soaking his cock. She fisted Levi’s erection in time to her throbbing release.

  “No more,” he said in a guttural whisper. He gently removed her fingers. Her world spun when Abe pulled out of her. She made a noise of protest.

  Four big hands were suddenly on her and she was being maneuvered once more. Abe lifted her and gave her a long, tongue-dueling kiss as Levi slid to the edge of the bed. She was limp in Abe’s hold, but the hunger deep inside her craved satiation.

  Levi wrapped his arms around her hips and drew her down. She heard the sound of a tube of lubricant opening and then felt the cool cream spread over her pucker. Levi’s fingers worked swiftly. She wiggled against him, seeking more. He gave a rumble of laughter and eased the tip of one finger inside her. Before she could gasp with pleasure, she was lifted again and impaled on his length.

  Small noises burst from her. Her body stretched around Levi’s invasion of her sensitive nether hole and a low throb inside her grew to enormous proportions. She had to move and soon.

  “Abe.” She reached for him.

  With a grin, he eased her back so she was sprawled across Levi’s body. He trailed his fingers over her inner thighs. The muscles on her belly dipped as she sucked in a sharp breath. He caressed her wet folds, moving upward with maddening slowness to her hard pearl. He lightly stroked it until she was quivering for more.

  “Come on, Gardner. I’m going to burst here if I don’t fucking move,” Levi growled.

  His hot breath on her neck seared her senses.

  Abe’s smile broadened. He stood between her legs. She locked her heels behind his back and drew him in, holding his gaze as she did.

  “You started this between the three of us, you’ll finish it.”

  He brushed his lips over hers. “Damn straight I will.” In one solid plunge, he joined the three of them.

  Levi’s hands convulsed on her upper arms. “Baby, you’re so tight.”

  She held her breath, getting accustomed to their double penetration. Having both men inside her blew her mind. She let go and allowed her senses to roam. Their scents surrounded her and the coarse kiss of their skin against hers made her wild.

  The bed creaked faintly but Abe’s rasps and Levi’s groans soon drowned it out.

  With a sudden snarl of satisfaction, Levi tensed, pumped once more, and unloaded his hot come inside her. The jolt sent her overboard. Her ass muscles contracted tight around his spurting cock and her pussy milked Abe’s.

  “Ohh, fuck,” Abe groaned. His handsome face twisted in ecstasy as he burst.

  They rocked against each other. Her world narrowed to a pinpoint. She clung to them and they held her—perfectly safe.

  Levi’s voice was harsh in her ear. “Love you, baby. My world…” Abe rubbed his forehead back and forth over hers.

  Time slowed. When they pulled apart, they tumbled into the mattress together in a tangle of limbs. She was entwined with each and upon opening her eyes, she found they were gripping each other’s hands.

  A smile swelled in her heart and spread across her face. Levi’s chest vibrated. “I think we’ve sated her.”

  “For an hour or two.” Abe ducked his head and pressed a light kiss to her earlobe.

  She wrapped an arm around each of their shoulders and drew them near. “My men,” she whispered and let the stress of the past few days searching for Levi, arguing with her father and battling Abe over the finances fall away. At that moment it seemed all the trees had blown down, leaving a clear path for them.

  Abe removed the loan payment book from the drawer and leafed through it. The sun streamed through the kitchen windows and fell across the pages, illuminating the enormous figure he paid monthly.

  At first he’d bucked at the fact that Levi and Chapel knew about his sky-high bills, but now a weight had lifted off him. Though they insisted t
hey wanted to help, it didn’t matter if they pitched in or not. He simply was relieved that his failures had been aired.

  He wondered if Levi felt the same about his secret. Now that Abe knew, many things Levi had said or done made sense Of course he’d strived to protect himself. And he’d confessed he was afraid that Abe and Chapel wouldn’t believe him and no longer accept him.

  Abe felt a determination settle over him. He wanted to help Levi gain the fresh start he’d sought in coming to Pennsylvania. He has the girl. Now let’s get him the financial security. And a bonus for me as well.

  He headed outside, grabbed his saw out of the back of his truck and suited up in his hard hat, hearing and eye protection. Then he strode into the woods. The number of trees left to cut was overwhelming and they had precious little time to complete this job. The race was on. Now that he’d straightened out his love triangle and Chapel’s father, he could focus fully on work. Even Griffith’s garage project was winding down. By the end of the week, Abe would find his evenings free to relax with his lovers.

  Lovers. A strange situation but one that fit the three of them perfectly. He couldn’t imagine being with Chapel now without Levi.

  The noises of the heavy equipment down the road drifted to him. The steel line was set up and ready to pull logs and his crew was behind him.

  He tipped his head back as far as he could and assessed the top of the tree he would cut next. It was heavy on one side and it would take some finessing to get it to fall in the direction he wanted. If he missed the gap, it could get bound up on another tree or create a backlash—springing in his direction.

  Neither was an option. He had to shoot the gap or nothing.

  Revving his saw, he glanced around to ensure the vicinity was clear. By now Levi had probably climbed out of their bed and was on his way. With any luck, Abe would have a nice stockpile of logs for Levi to buck when he arrived.

  He lifted the saw and set the blade against the coarse bark. The blade zipped through the trunk easily—as easily as he, Levi and Chapel had fallen into their loving relationship.
