Freedom to Surrender [Freedom, Colorado 4] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting)

by Melody Snow Monroe

  She tried, and to her amazement, his cock edged in deeper. Drex had yet to move, and she wasn’t sure what she’d feel when he did.

  “Almost in, angel. Hold on.”

  Tatum closed his eyes and thrust into her one final time. The wonderful pressure nearly stole her breath. When they both were tightly ensconced inside her, Drex leaned back and lifted her hips upward.

  His hands tightened on her hips. “Let me do the moving, darlin’.”

  When Tatum and Drex both slid out of her, emptiness assaulted her.

  “Fuck me, hard.”

  Tatum grinned. “Oh, we will, but we want you to get used to us first.”

  She was already used to them and was teetering on the brink of the most epic climax. Why did they decide now would be a good time to slow? She tried to shift her hips, but Drex held her still. This time, he drove his cock into her ass in one long stroke. Heat built and her pussy clenched.

  As soon as he withdrew, Tatum thrust his throbbing cock into her.

  “Fuck, Ashley. You’re so damned tight. My cock loves you. You know I love you, too.”

  “Yes, yes.”

  That seemed to be the signal they were waiting for because after Tatum withdrew, they both pistoned into her. The friction heated every cell. She clutched Tatum hard and gulped in air as the men drove in and out of her, each time with more force.

  They’d grunt and groan and she basically lost her mind. Like a well-oiled machine, they filled her up with two hard cocks. Never had she experienced anything so thrilling in her whole life. When she couldn’t keep the climax at bay any longer, she milked both cocks at the same time. As if she’d doused them with lighter fluid, they both blew. Their heat was the final straw that tipped her over the ledge. Waves of carnal lust washed over her as their loving cocks detonated. Hot cum slammed into her in two directions, and pinpricks of bright light burst behind her lids. She didn’t think she even breathed, as their dicks seemed to keep expanding and stretching her wide.

  It was Tatum who pulled out first and rolled onto his back looking exhausted. His mouth gapped open and he reached out his hand for her. With a lot of effort, she lifted her fingers and entwined hers with his.

  “Did I tell you I love you, Ash?”

  Many times. “I think so.”

  Drex lifted her hips and set her down. “Well, I love her more.”

  If they started to debate who had the most love to give, she’d have to stop them. In her life, there was no room for arguing.

  She wasn’t sure which man finally climbed off the bed, but they both ending up cleaning her. It wasn’t late, but she had no desire to move and hoped the men had no problem if she slept between them.

  * * * *

  When someone shook her shoulder, Ashley finally roused. She smiled. While her pussy and ass both throbbed, she knew she’d been well loved. She cracked open an eye to find both of her men dressed.

  “Get up, sleepyhead. Breakfast is on the table.”

  She groaned and pulled the pillow over her face. Then the mean men ripped the sheets off her.

  “We have work to do,” Drex said.

  Work? She rolled over and uncovered her face. She was still naked, and since she wasn’t up for sex this morning, she moved to get out of their reach. “I’ll meet you in the dining room.”

  “Better hurry,” Tatum said.

  As soon as they left, she pulled on her clothes. Her bag sat by the door and she extracted a toothbrush and some face cream. A quick brush and wash and she was out the door. The coffee permeated the small space, making her stomach rumble. She needed food after expending all that energy last night.

  Both men were seated when she arrived. They’d taken the chairs next to each other so she sat across from them. Before she asked about the kind of work that had to be done today, she sipped her coffee. Tatum must have fixed the tangy brew because it was perfect. “Thanks.”

  Drex ate a big bite out of his pile of eggs, and Tatum chewed on a piece of toast slathered with jelly. After they’d eaten some food, Drex sat back. “I have a plan, but I need your input.”

  That’s not what she expected him to say. “Okay.”

  “I’ve only done a quick walk-through of the Templeton building. I thought perhaps you’d like to join me and Tatum today to have a more thorough look.”

  “Why?” She wasn’t trying to be coy, she just didn’t want to jump to any conclusions.

  “Tatum and I cannot live in this small space.” Tatum cleared his throat. “I’ll amend that. I cannot live in such a small space. I want to renovate the top two floors of the building and turn it into a fabulous loft apartment.” Drex raised his brows.

  “And you want me to join you because?” Her heart pounded in her chest. She wanted him to say that they wanted to be with her forever.

  “If you’re nice to both of us, we might invite you to come live with us.” He held up a hand. “Since I seem to make giant assumptions that seem to piss you off, I thought I’d ask if you’d like to have a hand in designing the space.”

  Tatum waved his fork. “I think the first question should be, would you do us the honor and live with us?”

  While he hadn’t said anything about marriage, he was probably testing the waters. “I’d totally love that.”

  Drex pumped his fist. “Yes. That’s the first thing I’ve done that I haven’t fucked up.”

  They all laughed. Ashley’s appetite returned in full force and before breakfast was over, she’d mentally designed her new area. “Can we go now?”

  Chapter Twenty-Four

  Four months later

  Ashley was exhausted but happy. Not only had she spent almost every waking hour working on the shop, making sure they had all the ingredients ordered, the Wi-Fi installed, and the most comfortable furniture they could afford, she’d been helping with the renovation of the loft. Oh, yeah, and trying to be prepared for Christmas. The stress was taking a toll.

  They’d opened two days ago, and while the turn-out hadn’t been great, today was better than yesterday. She didn’t want Josh to be right and told herself the reason was because there was a foot of snow on the ground. Hell, she was thrilled anyone had shown up in this weather.

  Fortunately, as the renovation neared completion upstairs, both men refused to let her see the final work until the big reveal, so she no longer had to worry about putting the finishing touches on the walls or rearranging furniture. She did feel sorry for Drex. He was in the middle of building a huge facility on the east side of town. The sale of the property he wanted went smoothly, but the construction of the mammoth building had a ton of weather delays. To her surprise he remained upbeat.

  Tatum had finished all of his training and was fully in deputy mode most of the time. He and Brady Braxson were going to ask the town council if there was room in next year’s budget for a second deputy. Brady was gearing up for his wedding with Dani, and he wanted to spend more time at home. Ashley couldn’t blame him.

  The bell above the door jingled and Dani, Holly, and Nikki strolled in. They hadn’t been able to stop by yesterday. They looked around then rushed up to the counter. “This is amazing,” Dani said.

  “Thanks.” She was thrilled they liked the unique look.

  “Summer wanted me to tell you that she wasn’t able to make it, but she’ll stop by on the weekend.”

  “Great. You girls interested in some pie, or perhaps coffee or cocoa or hot tea?”

  Ashley handed them a menu listing the types of drinks they offered.

  Holly nearly hyperventilated. “This is amazing. I’ll have the Raspberry Noir tea with a drop of honey.” She peered into the glass case. “And a slice of rhubarb pie.”

  Just as she placed her order, Sharon came in from the kitchen with a fresh pie in hand. Nikki inhaled. “It smells so good in here.”

  “I know,” Ashley said. “I think I’m going to gain weight inhaling all the pie fumes.”

  The women finished ordering then sat at one of the clu
sters of seats. They looked so relaxed and happy there. Opening this business had been right on so many levels. She had felt bad for Carl as he’d had to find an office assistant, but apparently, Clay Harper’s sister had moved into town and was looking for a job. She’d accepted Carl’s offer to work for him, so all worked out well in the end.

  Right inside the counter area was a door that led to the upstairs apartment. Tatum and Drex opened it and were grinning broadly.

  “What’s making you so happy?” She moved up to them.

  “We’re done!” Tatum announced.

  She couldn’t believe it. “The upstairs is finally finished?”

  “Yup.”

  “Come on.” Tatum grabbed her hand.

  Sharon stepped up. “Go ahead. I have a few pies in the oven that I need to take out in ten minutes, but I’ll man the counter.”

  “Thanks!”

  The men motioned that she go first. She raced up the stairs totally stoked for the reveal. When she pushed open the door she stopped short and almost lost her breath. “It’s amazing.”

  They’d left one wall exposed brick. While she’d helped pick out the other wall colors, she hadn’t seen the furniture in place. Drex said each of the two floors was three-thousand square feet. The whole second floor was for living and the third floor was for washing and sleeping. She didn’t know which space to explore first.

  “It’s beyond my wildest dreams. It’ll take me a week to check out everything.”

  Tatum looked at Drex. “I know you have to go back downstairs, but we wanted to ask you something.”

  “Sure. Anything.”

  When they both dropped to their knees, her heart nearly stopped. They each picked up one hand, and then Tatum looked at Drex. “Since Drex seems to mess things up, I am going to ask for both of us. Will you, Ashley Milosino, agree to be our lawfully wedded wife?”

  “Yes!” Heart pumping, she helped pull them to a stand.

  “You idiot,” Drex said to Tatum.

  “What?”

  “The ring?”

  “Oh, fuck.”

  That diffused the situation. Tatum pulled a beautiful diamond solitaire from his pocket and slipped it on her ring finger. Tears welled in her eyes. “It’s so beautiful.”

  “We’ll need a kiss to seal the deal,” Drex said with mischief dancing in his eye.

  “Only one each as I have to get downstairs.”

  Drex stepped in front of her, pulled her close, and when he pressed his lips to hers, his eyes closed and he exhaled deeply as if he was right where he needed to be.

  Tatum cleared his throat and Drex stepped back. Tatum gave her one of his famous “wow” kisses. She called it a “wow” kiss because her pussy dampened and her nipples hardened. If she didn’t stop right away, her second day of being open could turn into a disaster.

  “I have to get back downstairs.”

  “When do you close?”

  “At six.”

  Drex grinned. “We will so be waiting!”

  She grinned and hurried back to her customers. At least Nikki, Dani, and Holly should still be there. No sooner had she stepped behind the counter to relieve Sharon and show her the sparkling engagement ring when the bell rang above the door. “Holy shit. It’s my dad. And Josh. And Drew.”

  No one in her family had stopped by to see how things were going, and in all honesty, she never expected any of them to ever step foot in here. She believed her mom wanted to come, but she wouldn’t want to cause a stir with the men.

  “What’s your old man doing here?” Sharon knew his opinion of their business.

  “I have no idea.”

  Nikki, Dani, and Holly had stopped talking, but the other three people who’d come in while she was upstairs seemed oblivious to the momentous event. Her family strolled in looking at the artwork on the wall before approaching the counter.

  “I have to say, you did a nice job here.” Her dad grinned then nudged Josh.

  No words would form. Her brain tried to detect sarcasm or something, but her internal radar didn’t ding.

  “Thank you.” That seemed like a puny response, but she couldn’t think of a proper one.

  “I’m amazed. Drew and I wanted to see what you’ve done and now we need to apologize.”

  Now that was a first. “Apologies accepted.”

  Josh glanced at Drew then back at her. “I never said about what.”

  He didn’t have to, but if he wanted to grovel, she’d listen. “Go for it.”

  “We’ve always treated you like a kid because, well, we were a lot older, but I have to say, you done good, kiddo. Come here.”

  She stepped from behind the counter and gave all three of them a hug.

  Her dad picked up a menu off the counter and looked it over. “Damn. You have a better selection and better prices than Starbucks.” He looked up and smiled. “Must take after her old man.” He tapped his skull. “Good business sense.”

  They all laughed.

  Her dad waved the menu. “Let me have this coffee.” He point to their daily special in the display case. “Along with a piece of your carrot cake.”

  “I’ll get it,” Sharon offered.

  “Triple it,” Drew chimed in.

  “Oh, Dad?”

  “Yes,” he said, as if he’d been a fan of her store forever.

  She held out her hand. “Look what Drex and Tatum gave me.”

  He knew by now that Drex owned the building and that he was a member of “the” Ford family. While he didn’t treat Drex any differently, she could tell he was impressed with all he’d accomplished.

  Both of her brothers stepped forward and whistled. “Hey, little sis,” Drew said. “Congrats.”

  Her dad’s grin ran ear to ear. “Well, I’ll be damned. Come here and give the old man another hug.”

  She opened her arms and received a most welcome embrace.

  “Here you go, Mr. Milosino.” Sharon handed him the pie and the cup of coffee. “And for you, Josh.” Ashley swore she batted her eyes. “And this is for you, Drew.”

  They both grinned. “You make this great-looking cake, Sharon?” Josh asked.

  Well, I’ll be. Her brothers never looked tongue-tied.

  “Sure did.”

  Her dad turned around and faced the customers. “Hey everyone, this here is my daughter’s place and I couldn’t be prouder.”

  He looked back at her, winked, and walked to a table and sat down. Her brothers followed.

  Tears welled in her eyes. Her dad actually said he was proud? The girls must have recognized what an incredible moment this was for her because they rushed up and each gave her a hug.

  She’d been so overwhelmed that she forgot to show them the ring. As she held out her hand, Tatum and Drex walked through the door that led to the loft.

  Drex looked around. His eyes widened. “Well, well. The gang’s all here.” He smiled and walked over to him. Tatum stayed behind to receive the congratulations from her girlfriends.

  Even though Christmas wasn’t for another two weeks, nothing could top today. Life was absolutely perfect.

  Tatum wrapped an arm around her waist. “I say we all have a piece of pie.”

  “On the house!” she added.

  He turned her toward him, and when he kissed her, the place cheered. Surrendering to her men had been the best choice in her life.

  ABOUT THE AUTHOR

  Unlike most other authors, I started writing late in life. Writing stories in high school and college was not for me. Only after I graduated did I fall in love with romance novels. For the next twenty years, I read voraciously. It got to a point where my book-buying habits cost as much as my groceries. At that point, my husband suggested I write a book. Hey, it looked easy, right? All the stories started in the same spot (hero and heroine at odds) and ended the same way (happily ever after). Only it was anything but easy. Eleven years and fifteen completed romantic suspenses
later, I finally published. I never would have gotten that far had it not been for two local chapters whose generous members shared their amazing wealth of knowledge.
