Ryder, Luxie - A Ballad for Her Cowboys [Hot Off the Ranch 2] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour)

by Luxie Ryder

  ‘Did you write it?’

  She nodded, looking up into his face and swallowed against another urge to cry when she saw his green eyes clearly for the first time in months. ‘Why didn’t you ever play it before tonight?’

  Seth’s question wasn’t the one she’d been expecting. ‘It’s a new one. I…I wrote it a couple of weeks ago.’

  ‘Would you have played it if you thought we were there?’

  Aiden moved to stand next to Seth, the three of them blocking the small path leading to the entrance of the hotel.

  ‘Probably not.’

  Seth punched Aiden in the arm, a triumphant expression chasing the tension from his face. ‘See, I told you it was for us.’

  Aiden look as if he intended to argue with Seth, but instead, turned his attention to Misty. ‘Only one way to find out, was it about us?’

  ‘Yes?’ she said, turning the word into a question for fear it wasn’t what he wanted to her to say.

  ‘Then why the hell wouldn’t you have played it for us?’

  With the answer lingering in the front of her mind and the words on the tip of her tongue, Misty couldn’t fight the tears any longer. ‘I wanted to sing it for you at another time. After I’d told you that I love you both…so very much.’

  Seth’s arms where the ones to hold her this time. ‘Is that still how you feel?’

  She nodded, unable to speak until she got the sobs wracking her body under control. ‘I’m so sorry,’ she said, once she regained her voice. ‘I know now I left it too late.’

  ‘It’s never too late,’ Aiden said. Misty strained to turn around in Seth’s arms and look at him. The smile he sent her way should have lifted the heaviness in her heart, but she was afraid to believe she understood right. When he leaned down to kiss her, she threw her arms around his neck without hesitation.

  ‘Can I have some of that?’ Seth said, after what seemed like an age where she could sense nothing but Aiden’s lips on hers.

  Aiden let her go with a chuckle and she turned to Seth, stopping when she saw a couple getting out of a cab a few feet away. He sighed.

  ‘Is there somewhere a little more private we can go?’

  ‘Well, there’s always my room,’ she teased, backing away and beckoning the pair of them to follow her.

  Unlocking the door moments later, she didn’t even have time to turn on the light before Seth set about getting his share of her. He walked her backward into the room with his lips welded to hers. His hands went to the zipper of her corset, he ripped it open, and stepped back to look at her as he peeled it away. ‘This is pretty, but I like what’s underneath better.’

  Misty laughed and put her hands on his shoulders to steady herself while he dropped to his knees to tug off her jeans. Aiden took advantage of the opportunity to kiss her, his hands tore at the buttons. He moved back to kick off his jeans as Seth finished removing hers and stood up to begin undressing too.

  Aiden picked her up, his large hands sinking into her flesh while he carried her to the bed. Misty rained kisses all over his lips and jaw, refused to let go of his neck when he tried to put her down. He laughed against her lips and lay down with her, bracing his weight on his arms. Suddenly, he lifted his head and turned to Seth.

  ‘Okay?’

  Misty didn’t understand the question, but Seth did. ‘What was that about?’

  ‘Do you mind if I have you all to myself for a few minutes?’

  The question surprised her, but she saw the merit in them all taking their time. Misty didn’t want to rush anything and as long as the men she loved wanted her, either individually or together, she’d take them any way she could get them. She looked at Seth. ‘Do you mind?’

  He shook his head. ‘I’ve waited this long for you, Misty. A few minutes more won’t hurt. Besides, I love watching you.’

  Seth’s hand fell to his already rigid cock, and she groaned when he began to pull on it slowly, his hips thrusting forward in time with the motion.

  A kiss on her neck brought her attention back to Aiden. ‘Every time we made love, it was always a blur. I just want to make sure I don’t miss a thing this time.’

  He rolled onto his back, taking her with him. Misty realized Aiden had done it for Seth’s benefit when she heard him groan from across the room as she straddled Aiden’s groin.

  She lay on top of him, pressing her soft breasts and abdomen into his hardness. She felt the wetness oozing from his cock against her stomach. Lifting his head, he kissed her again while roaming his hands down over her back. He spread her ass, raising his legs behind her. One tiny adjustment in position and he pushed into her pussy, biting on her shoulder. She reared against him, sinking farther onto his hardness.

  He grunted in satisfaction at the first, full penetration, not allowing her to move again. His fingers bit into her hips where he held her, happy to throb deep within her for a moment it seemed. Dropping his hand a little, he slid a thumb underneath her to circle her clit. Rocking to increase the friction against his hand, Misty felt his cock grow stronger, her muscles undulated around him, and she strained to get more of his touch. Responding to her need, he turned his hand over, rubbing her briskly with his fingertips.

  Her head flew back at the change in tempo and pressure. When she opened her eyes to look at him again, he writhed beneath her, desperate for his own release, but trying to bring her off first. His eyes were shut tight, and ragged breaths tore through him. He bit into his lip, his chest quivering with the effort of holding back his orgasm. She placed her hands on his stomach, bracing herself against him to rock harder and faster on him. A low, keening came from Seth’s side of the room and Misty turned to look at him. She gasped, watching him slide around in the chair with his thighs spread wide, cupping his balls, and stroking his cock. His gaze fixed on where she and Aiden were joined.

  Misty’s orgasm lingered just out of reach. Desperate, she groaned and pushed harder against Aiden, scratching at his chest as she tried to take him deeper. She felt a hand grab hold of her on either side of her hips and shuddered with excitement when she realized Seth had come to help move her on and off Aiden’s cock. She came then, her muscles turning to jelly, and she slumped forward over Aiden while he and Seth did all the work.

  The spasms subsided and she pressed a kiss against Aiden’s heaving chest. His cock was still inside her and as hard as before. He hadn’t come. Misty began to squirm against him, ready to drive him to orgasm whether he wanted to hold back or not. Suddenly she found herself being pulled away.

  Seth threw her onto her back like a rag doll and she thrilled at his impatience, opening her legs for him. He was on top of her and inside her before she had the chance to take another breath. She tried to move under him, but he wouldn’t let her. Her hands clasped over her head, and he attacked her mouth, licking and biting rather than actually kissing her, his thrusts almost brutal as he grunted into her ear.

  His groans became louder, sounding almost painful. Freeing her hands, he braced his weight on his palms, rocking into her again and again. Seth’s head moved away and Aiden’s came into view, his lips locking over hers. His tongue plunged into her mouth and his talented hands found her nipples and began to tug on them.

  Seth’s angle brought her mound into contact with his pelvis, and she felt the friction against her clit. Misty grabbed his ass, pumping his hard shaft into her repeatedly. She came again, her pussy sucking at his rigid cock while she sucked on Aiden’s tongue.

  Seth rolled away instantly, flopping onto the bed beside her, his penis still as rock hard as Aiden’s. Misty lay between them, her body spent but her mind working overtime. She didn’t know why neither of them would let themselves come, but she resolved to remedy the problem as soon as she had caught her breath.

  Five minutes later, she rolled onto her knees and crawled toward Aiden, ready to take his cock into her mouth and drag the orgasm out of him that she needed to see him have. He moved his hips away from her and she looked up in confusion as
Seth pulled her onto his lap where he sat against the headboard.

  Chapter 8

  ‘I’m not sure this is gonna work.’ She grinned when Seth turned them toward the edge of the bed and put his feet on the floor. He lay back and encouraged her to rest on top of him, spread her legs wide by placing his thighs between hers. When he thought he might have to tell Aiden what he wanted him to do, he got up and went to her dresser, coming back with a bottle of lotion.

  ‘This is gonna feel a little cold,’ Aiden warned, his hand disappeared and Misty jerked suddenly. Seth thrust against her, his cock rubbing against her stomach. When she quivered, he felt a gush of arousal seep out of her pussy.

  ‘I want this bad too, baby,’ Aiden said, smiling at Seth as she squirmed between them.

  A trickle of lotion splashed onto his leg and he knew Aiden was still working lube into her. Seth grabbed her head, holding her steady so he could kiss her mouth. She jerked away when another hard spasm rippled through her.

  ‘I’m ready…I’m ready,’ she promised Aiden, lifting her butt higher.

  Seth pulled her forward over him, just enough for his cock to slide out from where it lay trapped between them. He held her thighs apart and pushed into her cunt, her wetness allowing him to fill her instantly. Misty shuddered when he sank in far deeper than he expected from his first thrust. Seth bit his lip, fighting against an overwhelming urge to fuck her pussy hard. If her muscles didn’t stop sucking at him, he was gonna come before he wanted to.

  ‘Keep still,’ Aiden whispered.

  Seth heard her hold her breath. He knew Aiden was sinking his cock into her anus when she let out a long groan and the muscles sheathing Seth’s prick clenched tighter.

  ‘Fuck!’ he shouted, going rigid beneath her as another hard pulse through her womb threatened to pull his orgasm from him. Seth’s hands grabbed the back of her thighs and pulled them up even more and he felt Aiden slide right in.

  ‘Don’t move,’ Misty begged. Her eyes watered. ‘I need a minute.’

  Seth was happy to let her set the pace. He didn’t have a hope in hell of lasting for more than ten seconds if anybody moved. This way, he could calm himself down so he could stay inside her a little longer.

  The first time she rocked away and back onto the two rigid shafts inside her, she trembled so much Seth could feel it. When she did it again, the tremble turned into a shudder, and she groaned in pleasure when she sheathed them with her body. The third time, she screamed, sinking onto Aiden and Seth hard and fast and causing them both to curse.

  ‘Aw, fuck…fuck, ‘Aiden gasped.

  ‘Your cunt feels so fucking amazing, ‘Seth groaned, rewarding her efforts with a hard thrust of his own.

  ‘Let me do it,’ Aiden begged.

  Seth didn’t know if he was speaking to him or Misty, so he held still when she did. Aiden grasped her hips and he began to move her on and off his cock, gently at first, but soon she rocked back and forth. The motion didn’t only help Aiden. It benefited Seth. When Aiden pulled her back against him, her pussy slid further onto Seth’s prick.

  ‘I can’t hold on any longer,’ Seth heard Aiden say as he gave her two or three fast, hard thrusts and began to come. Seth began to drive into her hard, finding the feeling he’d been craving like a junkie seconds later. He had a hard-on for her for over than two months, and he couldn’t wait any longer to spill into her. His orgasm tore through him and his eyes began to close. The last Seth saw of Aiden for a while was when he jerked against her, shudders rippling through his shoulders as he spilled himself into her ass.

  When he regained the ability to move, he lifted Misty off his body and knew they both finished too quickly for her to come again, yet she didn’t seem to mind. They already taken care of her, holding off their own pleasure until she’d had hers—not once but twice. She lay beside him with a happy smile on her face and looked just about ready to sleep, but it seemed Aiden hadn’t finished. He grabbed her ankles and dragged her to the edge of the bed.

  He smiled. He dropped his head to her groin, took a little bite of her thigh before turning his face toward her pussy.

  ‘Aren’t you tired?’ she asked, seeming amazed they were both still awake.

  Seth crawled to her side, his breath still a little ragged. ‘If I recall, you still owe us an orgasm.’

  Misty smiled, accepting his kiss, and wrapping her arms around his neck. Whatever Aiden was doing down there began to make her squirm. She screamed that she loved them, over and over again, when she came moments later, her fingers digging into Seth’s arm. Once he’d held her through it and watched her fall asleep, he was finally able to close his own eyes, satisfied they made sure she didn’t want for anything more.

  Seth woke before the others and raised his head to look for her, an irrational panic lodging in his chest at the thought she might not be next to him. Misty lay with her arm thrown across Aiden’s chest and her face pressed into Seth’s side. No wonder he hadn’t been able to find her, she was practically underneath him.

  He inched away to look into her face and fought the urge to brush the tangle of hair from her cheek. What he wanted could wait until she woke up. All that mattered for now was she stayed.

  Seth rolled to the edge of the sleeping area they made by pushing the twin beds together and wondered if they had the space to do this back at the ranch. The thought they might never need to find out crept into his mind and threatened to ruin his mood until he chased it away. Even if Misty spent most of her time on the road, she’d come back to see them when she could, of that he was more certain than he had ever been.

  He went to the bathroom and tiptoed back into the room only to find Aiden had woken, gotten out of bed, and stood at the window, his body blocking out some of the light from the early morning sun.

  ‘I can’t wait to get her out of here,’ he said, turning in Seth’s direction. ‘This town isn’t a fit place for her to be.’

  Seth peered down to see what caused Aiden’s train of thought, grimacing when he saw the skid-row drunks going through the trash in an alley below. ‘Not everyone has things as good as us, Aiden.’

  ‘I’m not talking about the fact these guys are broke. Do you want her hanging around these kinds of places?’

  ‘Of course not, I want her to be somewhere I can keep an eye on her, but it’s not up to us.’ Seth winced as he said what had been on his mind constantly and he felt sure was on Aiden’s mind, too. ‘We can’t ask her not to follow her dreams.’

  ‘It’s hard to dream when people won’t shut up so you can sleep,’ Misty said from behind him, her muffled voice cutting through his thoughts.

  Seth turned at the same time as Aiden and smiled when he saw she hadn’t yet smoothed the hair back from her face or lifted her head from the pillow. She stretched, arched her back, and pointed her toes. The light played down her spine, over her butt, and along her legs. Seth reached for his pants and pulled them on before Aiden or Misty saw that, no matter how much he had of her last night, it still wasn’t anywhere near enough. Aiden turned back toward the window and Seth guessed he’d reacted to the sight of her in pretty much the same way.

  ‘Do you want breakfast in bed?’ Seth asked her as Aiden went into the bathroom.

  ‘No. I have to get up. I’ve got to get my guitar from the theater.’

  The reminder she would leave them again soon made him sad, but he couldn’t let her see. Any decision she came to had to be made from choice not out of guilt. It wouldn’t mean anything to him otherwise.

  ‘They offer a buffet-style breakfast down in the restaurant,’ she said when Aiden came back. ‘Why don’t you guys go down and get us a table and I’ll join you in about half an hour?’

  Aiden took his third plate of eggs by the time she joined them in a booth by the window wall of the large, cafeteria-style diner. She kissed them both on the cheek and then went to get herself some food.

  ‘Relax, Seth,’ Aiden warned, probably noticing Seth had been watching her closely
, trying to figure out by her demeanor what she was likely to do. ‘No pressure, okay?’

  Seth didn’t think it would help to remind Aiden that if he listened to him, they wouldn’t even be with her right now. Convinced there was nothing left to say and no point in raising their hopes again only to have them dashed, Aiden hadn’t wanted to see Misty at all. Seth only talked him into making the trip by promising they would stay away from her—a promise he had no intention of keeping. As it turned out, he hadn’t needed to try to change Aiden’s mind at all. Once they saw Misty break down on stage, Aiden had been the first to suggest they go check on her.

  ‘Do you want us to come to the theater with you?’ he asked when she came back to the table.

  ‘Sure, although it won’t take long. I just need to grab my stage clothes and then we can leave.’

  Aiden and Seth looked at each other and Aiden gave him an almost imperceptible shrug before he turned back to her. ‘Are you leaving with us?’

  ‘Of course.’ Her brow creased at the question and then her cutlery clattered onto the plate as it slipped out of her grasp and she put her hands to her throat. ‘Aren’t I?’

  Seth wanted to punch Aiden, but he guessed he couldn’t blame him for asking her what she meant. She swallowed loudly, and her eyes seemed huge when she looked from him to Aiden and back again.

  ‘Remember, you said if I wanted to I could. I know it’s been a while, but I kind of assumed…’

  Aiden reached for her hand at the exact same time Seth grabbed her other hand. ‘You assumed right. The offer is still open, Misty. Always will be.’

  Relief flooded her face at his words and Seth squeezed her fingers with his, unable to tell her how happy her reaction made him.

  ‘Phew,’ she said and giggled as she tried to make light of the intense moment. ‘It would have been just my luck to find out you changed your minds.’

  ‘Nothing could ever change our minds,’ Seth said, ‘although I came pretty close when I had to watch you drive off with Wade.’
