Jonathan Pettit looked one more time at the menu and then slapped it down on the table with a grin.
“Apple it is, then.”
The waitress joined them at that moment, and he ordered them two slices of pie, coffee, and a hot chocolate for her.
“I’m glad you could meet with me, Casey. I appreciate your time.”
Casey exhaled slowly. This man could be her ticket to the kind of career she had always dreamed of.
“No trouble, Mr. Pettit. I must admit I’m intrigued.”
Jonathan chuckled and sat back in his chair. “Call me J.P., and I didn’t mean to be mysterious. I just hate doing business over the phone. Evil things.”
Jonathan picked up his cell phone and scowled at it. Casey liked him already.
“What I wanted to discuss with you is a job offer. I’ve heard some great things about your work in Tampa. You have a good reputation as someone who makes things happen. I’m always on the lookout for someone like that to join my firm. Are you interested in discussing it, Casey? I won’t waste your time if you’re not.”
She swallowed a lump in her throat as she thought of Sin and Evan. But this was her chance to become successful. She had wanted this her whole life. She had only known her men a month.
“Yes, I am interested. Please tell me about your offer.”
* * * *
The entire downstairs of Sin and Evan’s house smelled heavenly. The aroma of pot roast had pulled Casey from the front door. She was now sitting on a barstool watching Sin put a pan of cornbread in the oven, but her mind was still on her meeting this afternoon with Jonathan Pettit.
He had made her an amazing offer. It wouldn’t be her own firm, but it would be the next best thing. He promised her a senior position, leading her own team, challenging assignments, and a salary that almost made her faint. The perks had been breathtaking, too. A generous expense account, a company car, and use of the company condo in Hawaii one week a year. Holy hell, she’d have to be a raving idiot to pass up an offer like this.
Only one thing was negative—it was in Chicago. Chicago was a long way from Spirit, Colorado. And a long way from Sin and Evan.
Casey pushed the thoughts from her mind. She had promised Jonathan to think about his offer and give him her answer by Monday. It didn’t mean she had to decide right this minute, though.
“You look like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders, honey.”
Sin gave her an inquiring look.
“I was just woolgathering. So, when do you think the renovations will be complete?”
Sin glanced at Evan, who was tossing a salad, before he answered.
“Soon.”
“Soon?”
“Soon.”
Casey chuckled. “I see craftsmen don’t like to be rushed. I’ve loved everything you’ve done so far. The shelves and cases are awesome. I was just hoping for a date when I would be done vacuuming sawdust five times a day.”
Evan gave her a smile. “Soon, baby.”
She shrugged inwardly. They weren’t charging her by the hour, so it really didn’t matter. Unless she decided to take the job, that is. Then she would need the shop to be finished so she could sell.
Suddenly, she couldn’t keep the secret from them any longer. She didn’t like herself when she kept secrets from them. She needed to tell them and see their reactions. Perhaps they would be just as happy to see her go.
“I had a visitor today. Someone in the public relations business.” Casey took a big breath. “He offered me a job.”
Sin and Evan froze, shock evident on their faces.
* * * *
Evan’s heart felt like it would jump out of his chest. He consciously calmed himself before answering.
“A job, huh? What kind of job?’
Casey was trying to look casual, but Evan could see this was a big deal to her.
“A job with Jonathan Pettit. He’s the biggest thing in public relations. He made me an amazing offer. Money, a corner office, a staff, company car, you know, the whole works.”
Evan looked at Sin. His face, which had been relaxed into an easy smile just moments ago, now looked like it was carved in stone. His friend had retreated inside.
“Wow, honey, that sounds like an impressive offer. Where is the job? Denver?”
Casey fidgeted in her chair. “Chicago.”
Evan put down the dish towel he had been clutching. “Chicago. That’s a long way. How can you run the store from that far away?”
Casey bit her bottom lip, and her face went pink. “I can’t. I’ll have to sell.” Her body language changed quickly into a defensive posture. “This is what I planned all along. I always planned to sell. I can’t stay here.”
“I don’t see why not.”
Sin’s voice was short and clipped. Evan could see Sin was holding on to his temper by a thread. He gave Sin a look of warning. They didn’t want to drive her away with their behavior. Sin just looked back at him with that implacable expression.
Casey pressed her hand into Sin’s. “Please try to understand. I’ve always dreamed about something like this. I used to fantasize about being successful. It was hard growing up the way I did. I was always the poor kid in school. I vowed I would never be poor again. I have to make something of myself.”
Sin pulled his hand away and turned his back to pull the cornbread out of the oven.
“I told you that you already have made something of yourself. Do you need a fancy car and expensive shoes to tell you that?”
Sin’s voice was gruff.
Casey darted a look Evan’s way, but he wasn’t in any mood to help her placate Sin. His own heart was breaking in two.
“No, I don’t need those things, Sin. I do need to make sure I’m never in the financial position of my parents. I also want to reap the rewards of how hard I have worked these past years. Is that so wrong?” Casey turned to Evan. “I care about both of you so much. But this isn’t about us. This is about my future.”
Sin had turned back to the stove. He was obviously done with this conversation.
Evan needed to get this situation under control. Obviously, they hadn’t been very successful in their campaign to make her want to stay. They needed to go to Plan B.
“Did you accept the job?”
Casey fiddled with the dish towel Sin had abandoned.
“No. I’m still thinking about it. I can’t really accept the offer unless I sell the store. It will be more difficult to sell, since the renovations aren’t complete. I’m supposed to give him my answer on Monday.”
They had three days to convince her not to take the job. They would need to pull out all the stops. After the last wonderful weeks with her, Evan couldn’t imagine life without her.
“Then we need to have a great weekend, honey. Let’s start by sitting down to dinner. The pot roast in the slow cooker smells great, and I’m starved. We don’t need to dwell on this tonight.”
Casey seemed grateful for the reprieve, and Sin looked like he hadn’t had an emotion in a decade. Evan would need to navigate these waters very carefully. He would need every IQ point he possessed to find a way to make Casey want to stay.
* * * *
Evan pulled Sin into the pantry off the kitchen after dinner. He needed to make sure they were on the same page.
“Listen, let’s not panic. She hasn’t decided to leave yet.”
Sin looked pained. “Are you sure? She sounds like she’s already decided. How could she turn it down?”
“We just need to make it so wonderful she doesn’t want to leave.”
Sin rolled his eyes. “I thought we already had.”
“Apparently not. We need to try even harder. I say we make tonight a night Casey Charles will never forget. Let’s fulfill every fantasy she’s ever had. How about you make a trip down to the sex shop and pick up a few things? Then this weekend we need to make sure we spoil her to death.”
“The sex shop is a great idea, except that it’s cl
osed.”
Evan grinned and dangled a set of keys in front of Sin. “Casey’s keys. She threw them on the foyer table.”
Sin pocketed them. “Trust me to pick things out? I think we have a pretty good idea what would blow our pretty girl’s mind.”
“Yeah, I trust you. Pick out a variety. Leave the cash on the counter next to the register. I’ll distract Casey while you’re gone.”
Sin grabbed his coat from the peg on the wall. “I hope this works. I’m in love with that woman, Ev. I don’t want to lose her.”
Evan glanced back into the living room, where Casey was sitting next to the fire, petting Hershey.
“I don’t want to lose her either, bro.”
Chapter 14
Casey knelt, naked, on the carpet while Evan sat on the edge of the bed. No more words had been spoken during the evening about her job offer. Apparently, the men were going to pretend she never said it. A part of her wondered if she could, too. A big part of her wanted to stay with her men. She liked the town, she liked the shop, and if she was honest with herself, she loved Sin and Evan. They were the kind of men she had always dreamed about—handsome, hardworking, honest. They treated her like a princess and had the same passion for their jobs she had for hers. It wasn’t just the sex, it was the way they made her feel. They made her feel cherished and special. She was currently being cherished by a smiling Evan.
“Open wide. Suck my cock, baby.”
Casey stretched her jaws wide and engulfed the head of Evan’s cock in her mouth. Her tongue traced the grooves and ridges, pulling a groan from deep inside him. She hummed playfully, sending vibrations up his dick and balls. He responded predictably, grabbing her hair and hissing.
“Fuck, baby. Your mouth is so good.”
She almost turned when she heard the bedroom door open, but Evan had a tight hold on her hair. There was a rustle, and then Sin was standing next to her in all his naked glory. The muscles of both their hard bodies glistened in the firelight of the bedroom. She wanted to reach out and stroke all that manliness but knew she wasn’t allowed to touch Sin without permission. Instead, she reached out to stroke Evan’s hard-muscled thighs, feeling the strength underneath her fingers. She heard Sin chuckle.
“She knows she’s not allowed to touch me, so she reaches for you, bro. Do you always let her have her own way? You need to set up some rules.”
Evan eased her mouth off of his cock with another groan. She tried to dart her tongue out to continue to pleasure him, but he held her head gently but firmly.
“I let you have the rules, and then I enforce them for you. But perhaps you’re right. She does seem awfully sure of herself. What kind of rules do you think I need with Casey?”
Sin placed his fingers under her chin and turned her to face him. He had an evil gleam in his eye that made her shiver in anticipation. Her pussy started leaking cream as she imagined the pleasurable torture he had in store. These last weeks had taught her Sin enjoyed absolute obedience but rewarded it handsomely.
“Watch and learn, Ev. Please stand, Casey.”
Sin and Evan helped Casey to her feet. She stood silently, eyes down, waiting for Sin’s first move. It came quickly. His work-rough fingers caressed her nipples, sending jolts of electricity straight to her clit. She bit her lip to hold back the moan. Sin liked her to be silent unless he specifically gave her permission.
She heard the rustle of a paper bag, and then he was standing before her again, with Evan next to him. They both pinched her nipples hard. She drew in a quick breath, and before she could exhale, her nipples were clamped with something cold and hard. The pain rippled through her body, and she made a whimpering sound. Evan’s hands reached for her but were quickly pulled back by Sin.
“Let her work through the pain, Ev. Give her a minute.”
Casey took deep breaths as the sharp pain dulled to an ache. Each pulse of the ache pulled at her clit and made her pussy clench. Sin had known she would love this. She opened her eyes and took a good look at the instruments of her torture. Clover nipple clamps. The boys must have made a trip to the shop. So, that’s where Sin disappeared to after dinner. He must have seen her checking them out as she had stocked the shelves. Another shiver went through her as she remembered some of the things she had shown an interest in. Despite its rocky beginning, this was going to be an amazing night.
* * * *
“Kneel, Casey. You’re going to suck my cock, then Evan’s.”
She opened her mouth, and this time Sin’s cock filled it. He was so large he took up every little nook and cranny of her mouth. She loved the heavy feel of him on her tongue and the way he pushed at the back of her throat. She began to move her mouth up and down his cock, taking him a little deeper each time. She wanted to lick his balls with his cock shoved far down her throat. He was far too large and it would never happen, but it was a glorious goal. Each time she moved, the clamps seem to tighten on her hard nipples. She loved the bite of pain as much as she loved the pleasure.
One look and she knew Sin was lost to the pleasure. His hand was tight in her hair and he was grunting obscenities with each short thrust into her mouth.
“Aw fuck. Fuck. You should feel this, Ev. Aw fuck.”
Sin was close. Touching him was not allowed without his permission, but she had been defying his orders on a regular basis. The punishments were just too delicious. She reached up with her right hand and circled the base of his cock, giving it a twist, while her left hand encircled his balls. They were pulled tight to his body. He must be holding himself back by a thread.
Her touch must have been electrified. He froze for a moment only to thrust faster into her mouth. She had to concentrate to hold on to him. His movements became a blur, and then he thrust one last time with a curse.
“Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.”
His hot, salty cum filled her mouth, and she drank it down happily. Her tongue still tingled, and she couldn’t wait to get her lips around Evan and blow his mind, too.
* * * *
Evan had watched, filled with lust, while Casey sucked on Sin’s cock. Sin had looked as if he were in some kind of horrible, wonderful pain. A pain Evan wanted to experience for himself. When Casey had sucked Sin dry of all bodily fluids, Evan turned her beautiful face toward his.
Her mouth was swollen and her face flushed. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. God willing, they could make her want to stay with them. Evan had fallen in love with this woman. Her courage, her intelligence, her innate sensuality were too potent to resist, and Evan had fallen happily head over heels. Hopefully, this wouldn’t end with a broken heart.
“My turn, honey. Open wide for me now.”
His cock slid between her lips and over her tongue. The swipes from her tongue amped up his arousal immediately. How Sin had lasted as long as he did was a miracle. But then Sin had epic self-control. He began to thrust in and out of her hot, wet mouth, her lips tight and her tongue swiping at the underside of his dick. He could feel his climax building in his lower back and his balls pulling up tight and hard. He was going to blow a hot load into Casey’s waiting mouth.
“Get ready, pretty girl. I’m ready to fill your mouth with my cum.”
Evan knew Casey enjoyed their dirty talk. She had really gotten into the spirit lately and turned out to have quite the filthy mouth on her.
Casey tightened her lips and started humming. The vibrations from her mouth went straight to his nuts. He could feel his climax ready to blow. He tensed for a moment, then relaxed and let it go. The explosion came from deep inside and seemed to turn him on his axis. There seemed to be no end to the cum shooting from his jerking cock. He watched Casey’s throat muscles as she drank him down quickly, not wanting to miss a drop. His body went slack as the pleasure finally drained from his limp body. He pulled from her warm mouth with a grin.
“Best blow job ever, baby. I think my balls are turned inside out.”
“Damn right, I turned you both inside out. You’re we
lcome.”
* * * *
Sin quirked an eyebrow at his not-very-submissive woman. She had certainly given them amazing blow jobs, but he couldn’t let her think she was in control during sex. She was obviously jonesing for a punishment. Her touching him earlier had already earned her a penalty. Perhaps she wanted two.
“Who’s in charge in this bedroom, Casey?”
Casey bit her lip. Sin could see she was wondering whether she had gone too far.
“You are, Sin.”
“Who else?”
“Evan, too.”
“Are you in charge? Do you make any choices in this room?”
“No, Sin.”
She sounded just slightly hesitant.
“You don’t sound too sure. If you don’t like it when I’m in control, we can stop this right now.”
Sin kept his voice very gentle. He didn’t want to force her to do anything she didn’t want to do.
Casey looked panicked. “No! I don’t want to be in control. I want you to be in control. Please, Sin.”
“Then you know you have earned a punishment? You touched me without permission and then tried to take control back. That sort of behavior will not be tolerated. Evan? Are you ready to mete out her punishment?”
Evan leaned lazily against the footboard. “Hell, yes, I am. She knew what she was doing was wrong. It was blatant disobedience, Sin. I think we are going to have to deal with this severely. She doesn’t seem to know her place in this room. Although, she’s been on her knees for the last half hour.”
Casey looked very nervous. She dropped her eyes submissively. “I’m very sorry. It won’t happen again.”
Evan laughed. “And another penalty for one whopper of a lie, baby. You know you’re going to do this again.”
The look of mischievousness on Casey’s face was a dead giveaway Evan was correct. Casey was going to misbehave to get erotic punishments. Tonight would be no exception. He hoped Evan wouldn’t disappoint her. Sin could only hope Casey would be around a lot longer to disobey him. He was in love with his little bedroom submissive. He loved her sass in and out of the bedroom, he loved how caring and gentle she was with Hershey, he loved how she was such a good friend to Lorna, he even loved how her tongue would peek out of the corner of her mouth when she was concentrating on the books at the store. He just plain loved her. If she left, she would rip what was left of his heart out of his chest on her way out the door.
