Their Greatest Treasure [Power Surge: The Billionaire Club 1] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting)

  “Fuck that. You fucking know that she’s the real thing. I know you’re upset. I know that you feel betrayed. So do I, Nash, but Chastity is not part of this. It’s a sick fucking coincidence,” Riker told Nash.

  “We can’t afford to believe in coincidences,” Nash said as he held Chastity’s gaze.

  “Let’s just calm down and not jump to conclusions. I’m sure that if we have any questions, Chastity will be more than willing to answer them,” the commander stated.

  Chastity straightened her shoulders and walked into the room. She now stood directly in front of Nash and Riker.

  “You asked me to trust you. You promised to protect me, to love me, and it wasn’t easy for me to do. I understand that this woman hurt you. But the fact that you think I am somehow involved with this hurts more than anything. More than Desi’s attack and more than the inadequacy I’ve felt my entire life until meeting both of you. I get it. I see how it is.”

  She turned toward their commander.

  “I’ll answer any questions you have, but not with them present. Hook up a lie detector. Do whatever it is you do to ensure that someone is telling the truth. I will do it, and then I’m leaving.”

  “Chastity, you’re not going anywhere,” Riker said, but she didn’t turn to look at him or Nash. Nash walked out of the room, and Riker followed him. So did the others.

  Cash sat down next to Chastity. He took her hand into his own, as she tried her hardest not to cry. This was a total nightmare. Just like those in her past who said they loved her had failed her, now so did the two men she loved more than life itself.

  “Miss Malone, my name is Commander Samone. I’m the federal agent in charge of the investigation. I have some questions for you, since you are willing to answer them.”

  She nodded her head at the man. He looked fierce. He had dark hair and a bit of gray by his ears. She pinned him as being in his fifties, and uptight, maybe even paranoid, as he looked her over.

  She glanced at Cash.

  “I’m staying here with you. No one is charging you with anything. We’re just asking questions to verify who is or isn’t involved with this.”

  “Oh, you’re wrong, Cash. I’ve already been accused, charged, and sentenced. It’s over between Riker, Nash, and I. I’ll cooperate. I have nothing to hide. I can’t fight for something, for two people who can’t trust me.”

  She looked toward the commander and asked him to begin.

  * * * *

  “Let’s listen in. I don’t believe that she is involved. It’s not true and you need to get your head out of your ass, brother,” Riker said. They stood in the other room, listening along with their friends and some agents as their commander interrogated their woman.

  But she wasn’t their woman anymore. She’d told Cash she was done with them. She was right. In a flash, they’d turned against her and believed that she could somehow be involved. Riker knew that she wasn’t. He loved her more than anything, and now their past careers as agents were about to take the one woman they truly loved away from them.

  They all listened to Chastity answer the questions. Their commander wasn’t going easy on her, not by a long shot. But the entire time, Chastity kept her cool, and even asked for a lie detector test, or whatever devices they had, to prove that she was innocent and not involved with the case.

  As the commander backtracked about her life in Charlotte, more heartbreaking information came out. Chastity had been through so much in her life.

  “So your mother was involved in an abusive relationship?”

  “Yes. It went on for over a year, and when she wound up hospitalized after one of his beatings, she left him.”

  “Where were you at the time?”

  “Hiding.”

  “Hiding from him? Why? Didn’t your mother take you with her?” They heard her shaky voice as she revealed information about her past. “He refused to let me leave with her. It was a bad night for both of us.”

  “How did you get out?”

  “I didn’t,” she whispered.

  “How did your mother die?” the commander asked.

  “At the hands of another untrusting, abusive man.”

  “And where were you at the time?”

  “I was working and saving money to leave home. I had finished up college and was determined to get out of Charlotte and away from my mother’s problems. It’s kind of funny, when you think about it.”

  “How so?” Cash asked.

  “I ran as far away as I could go, established myself in a career, and tried to be careful about whom I dated, and I fell for a man who lied and manipulated me, just as my mother’s boyfriends had done.”

  “How did you meet Desi?”

  “I met him at one of the restaurants I was working at. It was located near Fulton’s Fish Market. A really nice quaint place that just needed their menu and decor tweaked a bit. He came in with a few guys, and I was helping the manager with some of the setup when she knocked some things over. I had to smooth things over with Desi and his friends. He was older, attractive, and seemed very nice. He played me from the start I guess.”

  “Didn’t you ask him what he did for a living? Once you started dating and going out together?” the commander asked.

  “He said that he inherited his money. I was innocent and naive, and he was obviously manipulative and conniving. What more do you want to know? Don’t you think I felt stupid enough to stay with him, to believe his lies, to give my virginity to the man? It was a mistake. Obviously one I will live with for the rest of my life.”

  “I don’t think he used you, Chastity. I think he actually cares for you. Maybe an obsession, or a need to possess you, but men like this, they don’t do commitments,” Cash told her.

  “Commitments? Men like Desi, like my mother’s killer, her exes, take total control of a woman’s mind. They get you where you no longer feel like you can live without their assistance, without their permission until you can’t breathe. They slowly take the life out of you.”

  “But you left him. You broke things off,” the commander said.

  “I snapped out of the fog. I was so fearful that I would end up like my mother, like other women do, that I slowly started pulling back. The more space I forced, the more things I saw. Like his over drinking, and the use of his strength. I could never fight a man like Desi off. Hence my current condition. He gave me an ultimatum the other night. So you may be right, Cash. Maybe Desi really does care for me.”

  “What was the ultimatum?” the commander asked.

  She was silent a moment. “Give up Nash and Riker. Break things off with them, or they would die in front of me, and then I would die, too.”

  “Jesus,” Cash whispered.

  The tears rolled down her cheeks, as she clasped her hands on her lap.

  “I may not have known or recognized the signs soon enough that indicated Desi was a batterer and a psycho, but I know the man well enough to tell you that he will do what he said. He told me that Maggie set the bombs herself. He said that she was supposed to kill both Nash and Riker, but it got screwed up. He said that Riker and Nash wanted to catch the people setting the bomb and chose their jobs over Maggie. He wants revenge. He wants them dead. You can believe whatever you want about me, but they need protection.”

  “So you weren’t working for Desi? You didn’t seduce them to get close so that Desi could kill them?”

  “No. I love them more than life itself. That’s why I’m going to help you catch Desi.”

  “What do you mean? How?”

  “You’re going to let me leave. Desi is going to come after me, and take me away. I’m going to tell him that I broke things off with Riker and Nash, and that they said they only cared about finding the person behind the huge drug operation. He’ll believe me, and hopefully, bring me in on what’s going on.”

  “We’re not using you,” Cash stated firmly, but the commander leaned back into his chair. She could tell that he wanted to cat
ch this guy. He wanted this case solved, and he didn’t care how he did it.

  Nash knew that they made her feel like nothing had been worth fighting for in her life until now. Until them. But since they didn’t believe her anyway, Chastity probably didn’t care if she lived or died. She could help end this case and bring them justice and the truth.

  “It’s not your choice, Cash. I can get Desi out of hiding. Let’s stop wasting time and resources. Just let me walk out of here and head to my place. Do whatever it is you agents do. I don’t care. But I’m not staying here. I’m not remaining in a place where everyone, including the two men I love, stand there and wonder if I’m really who I say I am, or if I’m lying. I’m not doing it.”

  * * * *

  “This is what you want, Nash? You want the woman we both love to continue to go through such heartache? To give herself up as bait to prove to us that she’s the real deal? ’Cause I’m not willing to risk her life. Desi will fucking kill her. She’s not lying. I’m telling you that she has nothing to do with Desi and the operation. Let the others figure the shit out, and let’s take care of Chastity,” Riker stated to his brother, raising his voice.

  Nash just stared at Riker, and Riker wanted to shake some sense into him. Hadn’t he heard her words? Hadn’t he felt her pain?

  “What do we have to lose? Our lives? So fucking what. I don’t care. None of it matters. Not the club, not our money, nothing matters but Chastity and having her in our lives, in our bed forever.”

  “You’re right. She can’t be involved. I’m fucking paranoid. I don’t want to believe it. I’m afraid of feeling the pain. Like when Maggie died. But now I’ve hurt her so badly.”

  “She isn’t Maggie. You heard the facts. Maggie was working us over.”

  “You knew. You didn’t fall for her like I did. You never loved her, Riker. Why?”

  Riker was silent a moment. “I don’t know. I wanted to because you did. But it wasn’t the same. It’s not like when we’re with Chastity. I’d die for her, Nash. Just like I would die for you.”

  “I feel the same way. I fucked this up. I was so fucking upset about the news. I felt confused and didn’t think before I spoke. I was so fucking angry. All I’ve been doing the last two years was blaming myself and pushing everyone away. To find out that Maggie lied and used us burns inside. It fucking hurts.”

  “Losing Chastity and blaming her for something she had nothing to do with will hurt more. I can’t lose her. I love her, and so do you. We’ll explain it to her. We can’t let Desi get to her. This guy hurt her so badly already. He could have killed her, and if he finds out that she’s using him so we can catch him—”

  “She’ll die,” Nash finished.

  Chapter 13

  Chastity was in the bedroom. She pulled off the dress and was going to put on a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. She heard the bedroom door open and gasped as she turned, holding the dress in front of her.

  “What are you doing in here?” she asked both Nash and Riker. They both looked pissed off. Well she was pissed off, too.

  “What are you doing?” Nash asked her.

  “Changing.”

  “Going somewhere?” he asked, taking a few slow steps toward her. She backed up until her ass hit the desk behind her.

  “You’re not leaving us. You’re not going to be bait,” Riker stated from behind Nash.

  “Get out. It’s none of your concern. I’m not your concern.”

  Nash walked closer. “That’s where you’re wrong. You are our concern. You’re our woman, our everything, and you’re not risking your life.”

  “You can’t tell me what to do. You can’t control me, or make me.”

  “You think we can’t. Hell, woman, you don’t know what we’re capable of,” Riker told her, as he looked her body over. Chastity gulped as she clutched the dress to her body. Why did his statement turn her on? Why was she getting aroused when they had hurt her so badly by not trusting her? Why am I such a glutton for punishment?

  Nash stared down into her eyes. He was only a foot away from her.

  “I jumped the gun. I overreacted out of fear and anger. I know that you’re not involved. I was hurt by Maggie and finding out what she did and how she manipulated us just pissed me the hell off. I’ve wasted so much fucking time. Time alone, pushing away anyone who has been important to me or anyone who made me feel at all,” Nash told her.

  “I’m not Maggie, Nash. I can’t fight against a ghost, not against a person who no longer exists.”

  “I’m not asking you to. I hurt you, and it will never happen again.”

  “No, Nash. It won’t happen again, because we’re over.”

  He pressed her body against the wall, shocking her. He held her face between his hands and whispered next to her lips.

  “We’re not over, baby. We’ve only just begun. I fucked up. Can’t you forgive me? I’d do anything for you, Chastity. How can I prove to you that I’m sorry and that I do trust you?”

  Chastity felt the tears in her eyes, and she felt Nash’s sincerity. But she had been fooled before. She had been taken and manipulated by others. What if he was lying?

  As if sensing her fear and distrust, Nash lowered to his knees. He held her hips and hugged her to him. She felt his warm breath against her belly.

  “Ah shit, Chastity. You got the man on his fucking knees. If the guys saw this now, he would be ruined in the macho male department,” Riker stated.

  She smirked as her heart instantly lifted with some relief. If they truly didn’t love her, would they go to such extents to prove it?

  She gripped Nash’s hair, forcing him to look up at her. Now the dress was gone, and there she stood in only her panties and bra.

  “You listen to me, and you listen good, mister. I love you. I’m not involved with those assholes. I understand why you overreacted and feared that I was involved. But that doesn’t let you off the hook. You’ve got a lot to prove.”

  Nash smiled at her then kissed her belly. He made his way up her body then covered her lips with his. He kissed her deeply, and her heart soared with relief and love for this man. But he was going to flip out when she told him about the plan she’d made with the commander.

  Nash lifted her up against the wall, and she straddled his waist. He kissed her deeply, and they battled for control of it. She felt his large hands against her skin. Then he ripped her panties off of her. She gasped. She was so aroused, so needy for him to be inside of her. He scraped his lips across her mouth to her neck. Gripping his shoulders and pressing her breasts against his chest and neck, she moaned. “Please, Nash. This is crazy.”

  She felt him undo his pants, push them down, then align his cock with her slick, wet slit.

  He locked gazes with her. He pulled her lower lip between his teeth then gently tugged and released. “No, baby, this is crazy. The need, the desire I have for you is so overwhelming sometimes, I lose it. I don’t want to hurt you. I know you have bruises, but fuck it, baby, I need inside now.”

  “Yes, yes, Nash. Now.”

  He was already pushing the tip of his cock between her wet folds. He shoved into her and they both moaned. He held his thick, hard cock inside of her for a moment as if the move eased the ache, or filled a gap inside of him.

  She ran her hands up his head through his hair and held him best she could.

  “I’m sorry, baby. I need you. I’m nothing without you,” he told her. Were those tears in his eyes? She wasn’t certain, but she knew with all her heart that Nash did love her. He pulled out then shoved back into her. She kissed him hard on the mouth while she countered his thrusts. She didn’t care about her bruises, the little aches and pains. She cared about fulfilling the need deep within her core that only Nash and Riker could fill. In and out he stroked her cunt. Then he moved in fast, deep strokes until she moaned her release, squeezing him to her. Then he exploded inside of her and held her so tight.

  “I love you, baby. I love you so much,” he said.

&
nbsp; Chastity smiled then kissed him all over his cheeks, which made him chuckle.

  Riker cleared his throat, and when they turned, Riker was completely naked. Chastity felt her cheeks warm as she pulled her lower lip between her teeth and admired her other sexy lover. Riker was the naughty one. The man who talked dirty to her and made her think of doing things that thinking alone made her blush and made her pussy weep.

  Nash released her to Riker, who grabbed a hold of her ass and squeezed as he devoured her moans by kissing her deeply. He stroked his finger down her backside and slid his finger from her wet pussy to her anus.

  Pressing a finger into her ass, she thrust against him, gasping for air. He released her lips as she held on to his shoulders.

  He dipped his hips, and aligned his cock with her wet cunt. Riker held her gaze. “You complete me. Inside you everything is always perfect.” He said the last words through clenched teeth as he shoved up into her. His cock was so hard she couldn’t stop the louder moan.

  He pressed his lips against her mouth while he pulled out, then thrust back into her.

  “Shh, baby, there is a crowd of men out there, and they would be so jealous knowing that we’re in here fucking our woman.”

  “Oh God, Riker, you’re so bad.”

  He pulled out then thrust back in. “And you feel so good.”

  In and out he stroked is hard cock into her pussy. His finger found her ass again. He pushed it against her puckered hole, and she held her breath then released a long sigh.

  “Feel good, baby?” he whispered while pumping his hips.

  “Yes, oh yes. It’s outrageous. It burns, yet I feel so needy.”

  “You’re going to have us both real soon.”

  “When this is all done. When the operation is complete and all the assholes are behind bars, this ass is mine. Nash and I are going to make love to our woman together, and truly seal the deal that we love you, and you’re ours.”
