Between a Rock and a Hard Place [The Ghost Riders 2] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting)

by Marla Monroe

  “No more tonight, Jessie. You need to rest. I’ll call Reece and Dominic in the morning about finding a lawyer. Besides, we can’t do anything until Monday anyway.” Rhodes took her hand and pulled her to her feet.

  “I feel like a nice hot shower, Rhodes. What about you?” Vernon asked as he grabbed Jessie’s other hand in his.

  “Hmm, sounds good.”

  She let them lead her into the bedroom as she worried over what to do about her situation. It finally registered with her that Rhodes was undressing her when she felt cool air against her bare skin. She looked down and realized he had managed to get her shirt off of her and was popping the catch on her bra.

  “Rhodes?”

  “Shh, baby. We’re going to take care of you.”

  Vernon walked into the room from the direction of the bathroom and jerked his T-shirt over his head revealing his sculpted chest and tight six pack. The tattoos covering his left shoulder flowed over his back where she couldn’t see them. His impressive size and muscles left her speechless. When he moved closer and held her gently by the shoulders, Jessie couldn’t speak.

  “Step out of your clothes, Jessie,” Vernon said with a small smile.

  “Huh?” She looked down and realized that Rhodes had managed to unfasten her jeans and had them along with her underwear waiting at her feet for her to step out of them.

  How had he managed to remove her shoes and finish undressing her without her realizing it? One look at Vernon’s naked chest gave her the answer she needed. He was magnificent. She watched as he unfastened his jeans and slowly shoved them down to reveal that he wasn’t wearing anything underneath. Her eyes snapped up to meet his. Amusement danced in them along with a healthy dose of lust.

  “Do you like what you see, baby?”

  “I–I—”

  “I can’t wait to taste you again.” Vernon’s voice had grown raspier and deeper if that were possible.

  Already it plucked at whatever made her female. She wanted to sink into his voice and let it rub against her. When his hands moved up her arms to settle lightly on her shoulders, Jessie felt her body sway toward him. Something about him made her feel safe and hunted all at the same time.

  Vernon took a step closer to her, running his hands up the sides of her neck before he cupped her face with them and lowered his mouth to hers. She felt the lightest of touches as his lips caressed hers before he pulled back and stared deep into her eyes. Need so deep and dark it almost hurt flared in them. She wanted to ease it for him, give him what he wanted. Her hands rested against his chest. His heat seeped into her skin until she felt on fire with it. Once again his mouth lowered to hers, and she sipped at his lips.

  More skin met hers as Rhodes pressed his body against her back. He nuzzled her neck from behind as Vernon kissed her senseless. His tongue swept into her mouth and explored every inch of it. His taste teased at her as he slowly pulled away.

  “We need to get in the shower before the hot water is gone.” Vernon gently turned her toward the doorway as Rhodes stepped back.

  “I don’t understand.” Jessie was confused. Didn’t they want her?

  “Baby, you need some sleep. A shower will help you relax so you can. Let us take care of you, okay?” Rhodes took her hand and led her into the bathroom.

  Jessie stepped into the shower with the two men. They slowly bathed her from top to bottom. While Vernon shampooed her hair, Rhodes cleaned her legs and feet. She’d never had anyone bathe her before, not since she’d been a child. Once her hair had been rinsed, they quickly bathed themselves then shut off the shower and dried her off.

  Before she realized what the man was going to do, Vernon picked her up and carried her to the bed and settled her into the middle. They each crawled in after her, smoothing their hands over her skin as if to calm her.

  “I don’t think I’m going to be able to go to sleep, guys. My mind is running in all directions. I don’t know what’s going to happen next.”

  “Don’t worry about anything, Jessie. We’ll keep you safe.” Rhodes’s hand settled lightly over her belly.

  “I trust both of you, but even you can’t keep me safe from The Skulls if they want me for the land. Once they figure out that Tussler doesn’t have control of me anymore, they’ll look for me.”

  “I think she needs something to take her mind off of everything,” Rhodes said.

  Vernon didn’t say anything. Instead, he leaned over and nibbled at her jaw before sucking in her earlobe to tease between his teeth. Jessie moaned at the sensation of his tongue tickling her there. The slow burn that had dissipated with her shower returned as if it had never gone away. It built as Rhodes lapped at a nipple while his hand massaged her breast around it.

  “Oh, God!”

  “Let us help you relax, baby.” Vernon’s deep voice penetrated the heavy lust-filled fog that was surrounding her.

  Together the two men teased and tortured her breasts and mouth and neck until she thought she would go up in a wall of flames. Her breathing grew raspy as the fever built deep in her womb. Her pussy grew damp with each lick or suck of their mouths. An ache to be filled built in her cunt. Neither man had touched her below the waist, yet everything they did seemed to settle there at her core.

  Jessie groaned with need. Her hands roamed their bodies, searching for something to hold on to in the storm that threatened to engulf her in sensations she’d never felt before. Vernon’s head was slick, free of hair, but she managed to latch hold of his neck with one hand and Rhodes’s hair with the other. Their combined grunts only deepened her need for more from them.

  “Please. I need…”

  “What do you need, Jessie?” Vernon’s voice ended on a growl.

  “More. I don’t know.”

  Desperation choked her until she felt Rhodes’s mouth move from her breast to her abdomen then lower. His tongue licked a line from her belly to her hip where he nipped. The sensation had her arching her back.

  Vernon took over playing with her nipples and kissing her neck as Rhodes moved lower until he was spreading her legs with his shoulders to give him room between them. His warm breath blew over her pussy lips like a gentle breeze. She could feel her juices leaking from her core. Her cunt grasped for something to hold on to.

  “I love how wet you get for us, baby. Your pussy glistening with your juices.” Rhodes kissed her there before dragging his tongue through her cream.

  Jessie jerked at the touch. Then she could do nothing but moan and gasp as he lapped at her like a kitten with a saucer of milk. He devoured her while Vernon played with her breasts. Between the two of them, she was lost in a maelstrom of touch and feeling. Everything felt twice as intense as she rose higher toward some goal that loomed above her. Even as Rhodes stabbed her over and over again with his stiffened tongue, he teased her back passage with his finger wet from her juices.

  When everything seemed to converge into one tight fist deep in her cunt, Jessie felt Vernon twist her nipples and Rhodes suck in her clit. The dual assault sent her flying over the top into climax. Her pussy spasmed, needing something more.

  “Oh, God! I need you inside of me.”

  Rhodes growled as he climbed up her body. She reached for him as Vernon moved away from her. She didn’t want to lose the other man and reached for him with a whimper.

  “Easy, Jessie. I’m not going anywhere.” Vernon chuckled then held his thick cock next to her mouth.

  She turned her face toward him and rubbed his dick along her cheek. He smelled musky, and the need to taste him had her opening her mouth almost immediately. Vernon took her hand and wrapped it around the base of him before he let go. She wrapped her tongue around the spongy head, savoring the spicy taste before licking from her hand to the tip.

  She felt the tip of Rhodes’s cock as he rubbed it up and down her wet slit. It felt huge as he slowly pressed into her. Jessie lifted her pelvis as he pushed deeper. The stretching seemed to go on forever as he slowly worked his dick all the way inside o
f her.

  “Fuck, you’re tight. Hell, baby. I’m not going to last if you keep squeezing me like that.”

  She hummed around Vernon’s shaft, making him jerk in her mouth. She did it again, enjoying the feeling of control it gave her to cause him to lose some of his cool restraint. The big man always seemed to keep a tight rein on his feelings.

  “Keep that up, you little vixen, and I’m going to come before I’m ready.” Vernon sounded just a little strained to her.

  “She’s squeezing my cock like a vise. I don’t think I’m going to last.” Rhodes slowly increased his pace as he stroked in and out of her tight passage.

  Nothing could have prepared her for this. She had never been so overwhelmed during sex before. Always before it had been a quick fuck that left her feeling empty and disappointed. Even though she had already come once, her body was gearing up for another climax that promised to rock her world. She sucked on Vernon’s dick as she slipped her other hand down to capture his balls. They were already tight against his body as if he were fighting to keep from coming too soon.

  Rhodes tunneled in and out of her, adjusting his angle until he was rubbing over some spot inside of her that had her body screaming in pleasure. Nothing had ever felt as wonderful as the way the two men overwhelmed her senses. Pleasure built sharper and hotter with each stroke of Rhodes’s cock in her cunt and the taste of Vernon’s pre-cum leaking in her mouth. She was going to soar, and nothing would ever take that away from her.

  Vernon cursed as his fingers massaged her scalp. She knew he was close. She relaxed her throat and took more of him with each plunge of his cock into her mouth. She wanted to feel him explode inside of her, hear him call out her name as he came. The reality of it was even better than she had imagined when he roared out his release, her name echoing in the room around them. She swallowed as fast as she could as he filled her mouth with his salty cum. She felt some of it leak from her lips as he slowly pulled his spent erection from her mouth.

  He leaned heavily against the headboard as he wiped the cum from her lips and let her lick it from his thumb. His eyes held his love for her in them. She didn’t need him to declare it to know how he felt.

  Rhodes slipped a finger between their bodies as he thrust inside of her over and over. He stroked her clit, using her cream to lubricate it. The added stimulation exploded through her body, leaving her gasping for breath and crying out in pleasure. Even as she tightened all over, she felt Rhodes’s cock spasm inside her, filling her with his cum. The heat filled her cunt as stars exploded behind her eyelids. It seemed to go on forever.

  “Hell. I think my balls exploded.”

  Vernon chuckled across from her. “I know mine did.”

  “Shh. I’m trying to die here.” Jessie was sure she was in heaven.

  Rhodes laughed and rolled off of her to one side. With Vernon on the other side of her, she was surrounded by them and loving it. Nothing had ever felt so right. If she had doubted how she truly felt about them at all, this settled it. She loved them more than anything and would do anything to make them happy. More than that, she would do anything to keep them safe. And that knowledge followed her into sleep.

  Chapter Twelve

  Vernon carefully climbed out of bed the next morning, praying he didn’t wake Rhodes and Jessie. It was still early, and they could use a little more sleep. He dressed then crept into the other room to start coffee. He needed the window of solitude to think. Jessie was everything to him. There was no way he would allow anything to happen to her. That meant making plans and relegating himself to be the hard-nosed one where she was concerned. Rhodes could be her friend and confidant. It would be hard to deal with always being the one to put his foot down, but he loved her too much to let anything happen to her.

  He had no doubt that she was going to try to figure out a way to keep them safe. She thought The Skulls were too dangerous for them to handle. It felt good knowing she cared about them enough to want to protect them, but it also made him angry that she would put herself in danger.

  The coffee finished dripping as he stood up to pull cups down from the cabinet. The rich aroma would have Rhodes up soon. He hoped Jessie would sleep a little longer. He and his friend needed to talk and make plans. Pouring a cup of the dark liquid, Vernon leaned back against the counter and sipped. Memories of the night before slipped into his thoughts, and his cock hardened. Groaning, he closed his eyes and tried to get his willful dick under control.

  “Mmmm, coffee. I love you like a sister, Vernon.”

  “Fuck you, boy.”

  Rhodes grinned and poured a cup before regarding his friend. Vernon could tell there was something on his mind even before he said anything.

  “What is it?”

  “She’s going to fight us, isn’t she?”

  “Yep. She wants to protect us.”

  He watched Rhodes sip his coffee. The other man seemed to be mulling something over in his head. Whatever it was, he obviously didn’t think Vernon would be too happy with the idea.

  “What do you think we should do?”

  Vernon guessed Rhodes was going to keep it to himself for now. Good. He didn’t want to have both him and Jessie angry with him at the same time.

  “I think we’re going to have to let the lawyer give her some options on the land and money. In the meantime we’ll stay here until it’s settled then move back to the clubhouse with the others. She’ll be safer with the others around us.”

  “She isn’t going to want to do that. She doesn’t think they should have to fight her battles.” Rhodes set his cup on the table.

  “Her safety comes first. She’ll just have to be mad at me.”

  “With Ray unaccounted for, I’m in agreement. I just don’t see Jessie being very cooperative.”

  Vernon sighed and ran a hand over his bald head. “Neither do I, but she has no choice. I will do whatever it takes to keep her safe.”

  The sound of a door opening alerted Vernon that she was coming in the room with them. He turned and watched her walk toward them. Her hair was mussed from sleep and the randy sex they’d had the night before. That and her plump lips set in a pout tightened his cock again.

  “Morning, baby.” Rhodes wrapped his arms around her, settling his chin on her head.

  “What time is it?” A yawn pulled at her mouth.

  “A little after eight. Are you hungry?” Vernon watched the way her face changed with a smile.

  “I could eat.”

  Rhodes chuckled and let go of her to check out the fridge. Jessie shuffled over to Vernon and wrapped her arms around him, settling her head against his bare chest. It warmed him from the inside out that she had come to him. He only hoped she wouldn’t grow to hate him in the coming weeks.

  “Morning, Vernon. Can I have some coffee?” She fluttered her eyelashes up at him.

  Shaking his head, Vernon grabbed another cup and poured some in it for her. She grasped it with both hands and moaned when she had tasted it. Every little noise she made went straight to his cock. He knew what he wanted to do with the rest of the day, and it didn’t include watching TV.

  After breakfast, Vernon washed up the dishes since Rhodes had cooked. He could hear the two of them arguing good-naturedly over what to watch on TV. He had no doubt that Jessie would win, but Rhodes was making her work at it. What would it take to get her to say that she loved them? He needed to hear her say it like he needed his next breath. It wasn’t lost on him that they hadn’t told her that they loved her yet either. He wasn’t sure what stopped Rhodes, but fear that it would be all one-sided had stopped him until recently. Now he just wasn’t sure how to say the words.

  “You going to watch with us or bake a cake over there?” Rhodes’s amused question told him that he’d been staring at nothing for too long.

  “I’m coming. What did you let her talk you into, anyway?”

  “We’re watching The Notebook.”

  Vernon was sure he wasn’t going to like it. Shaking his
head, he walked over to the couch and sat down, pulling Jessie’s feet into his lap. The movie was already on, and instantly he cringed. It was going to be a long morning.

  * * * *

  Jessie stood up and stretched as the credits for the movie scrolled across the TV. She knew that neither of the guys had enjoyed the movie, but she had. It hadn’t hurt them to sit through it.

  “I get to choose the next one,” Vernon grumbled.

  “It wasn’t that bad.”

  “Ah, yeah, it was,” Rhodes said with a smirk. “Vernon’s going to make me pay for it later when you’re not looking. Mark my words.”

  Jessie giggled. She couldn’t help it. They were both so sweet to her. Of course she would never say that out loud in front of them. It would horrify them.

  “I think since we had to do what she wanted that it’s time for her to do what we want to do next.” Rhodes grinned and waggled his eyebrows at her.

  “I like the sound of that.” Vernon backed her across the room until her back was to the wall next to the bedroom door.

  “What did you have in mind?” Jessie figured she could guess fairly easily.

  “Oh, I don’t know. Let me think about it for a minute.” Vernon pressed her hands against the wall above her head.

  Jessie felt her heart race as Vernon pressed his body intimately against hers. Neither man had bothered to put on a shirt. The heat from his skin seeped through her shirt, lighting a fire in her blood. His mouth hovered over hers as he leaned over her. She stood up on tiptoes in an effort to reach his lips with hers. She needed his kiss, craved it.

  Finally, Vernon closed the distance between them and drew her lip into his mouth. He sucked on it before tracing it with the tip of his tongue. She whimpered as he continued to sip at her lips before thrusting his tongue deep into her mouth. Pressing his body against hers, she had no trouble feeling the thick length of his cock against her belly. He wanted her, and she needed him.
