David shook his head vehemently. “No, you’re not in love with her. You can’t be. You belong to me. You always have.”
Faith kept her gaze locked on Blaze as he slowly walked further into the cottage. She didn’t know what to do. There had to be some way they could work together to get themselves out of this.
David was blocking her escape route to the door. Blaze could easily pivot around and run right back out the way he’d came in, but she knew he’d never do that as long as she was stuck in the cottage with this whack-job.
Before she could move or figure out to how to signal Blaze of her intentions to get around David and make a run for it, she heard a car pull up outside.
David apparently heard it, too, because he flicked the wheel on the lighter in his hand, igniting the flame. “It sounds like time is up.” He turned, upending the gas can in a stream on the floor, stretching it out as far and as wide as he could, separating himself and her, and tossed the lighter right in the middle.
* * * *
Blaze heard a whoosh as the gasoline caught fire and saw the flames rise.
“Faith!” Fear blasted through his body as the flames reached higher and higher and stretched wider and wider, separating him from the love of his life.
Panic threatened to take hold. He wasn’t wearing turnouts. The fire extinguisher was on the other side of the flames with Faith, but he doubted she would know him and Kalvin kept it in the cabinet beneath the sink even if she was thinking clearly enough to look for it.
Every one of his senses on alert, he forced himself to focus and saw the terror on Faith’s angelic face through the flames as she frantically searched for a way to get to him. He saw her attention fix on the island counter, watched as she realized it was her only option of escape, and readied himself to catch her.
Making a dash for her life, Faith catapulted over the counter as another scream, this one of pure, blood-curdling pain, split the air.
Blaze didn’t spare David a glance as he caught Faith in midair. He closed his arms around her, not even letting her feet touch the floor as he spun around and headed for the door.
Kalvin and John Cabelly were running across the front yard when they made it out of the house.
“Christ, Blaze, is she okay?” Kalvin asked as he reached them.
“She’s fine.” Blaze buried his face in the top of her head and briefly closed his eyes. Her arms were locked tight around him, her heart pounding a rapid staccato against his chest in time with his. “I can’t say the same for David. The dumbass just doused himself with as much of that gasoline as he got on the floor and set himself on fire in there.”
The sheriff was on his handheld radio, calling for the fire engine.
Blaze lifted his head and saw the war that flashed through Kalvin’s eyes. He understood it and acknowledged he’d felt the same subconscious battle within himself for a nanosecond when he’d heard David’s scream. Kalvin wanted to let David burn alive, but his training and heart wouldn’t let him.
“Take care of our woman,” Kalvin told him, making the only decision Blaze knew the man’s honor and training would allow him to make. I’ll deal with the dumbass.”
* * * *
“I hope I never have to hear anything like that again.”
Blaze lay propped on one elbow beside Faith, who lay on her back with Kalvin in a mirroring position of his on her opposite side. He dragged a fingertip over her forehead, traced his way over one eyebrow to her temple, and skimmed it down her cheek. “I hope I never have to see anything like that again.”
The image of her standing behind a rapidly growing wall of flames would be implanted in his mind for the rest of his life. He’d never felt such terror, as if a fire would beat him at the game. Maybe he’d always been overconfident as a firefighter, but every time he’d walked into a burning building, he tackled the raging inferno he faced with the knowledge that he could take it down. Today, he hadn’t had that confidence at all. For way too many heartbeats, he’d thought for sure he would lose her.
“I’m done with fire,” Faith announced as she stretched languidly between him and Kalvin, drawing Blaze’s attention down her very naked, stupendously amazing body. “You guys can fight it all you want, but I’ve had enough of it.”
Kalvin chuckled. “Are you sure? The firehouse could use a stand-in while I’m gone. We could teach you how to fight fires and you could take my place for a while.”
She flipped over, resting the weight of her upper body on her elbows as she stared at Kalvin. “You’re leaving the island? For how long?”
Kalvin smiled warmly at her. “Just a few weeks, baby. I’ll be home on the weekends. I’m sure Blaze can take care of you while I’m gone.”
She giggled. “I have no doubt he can, but not as well as the two of you take care of me together.”
Blaze tore his attention from her dangling breast as Kalvin angled his head down to look beneath her and meet Blaze’s gaze.
“Listen to this one. When I met her in the café that first day before I sent her over to meet you, she was a one-man woman. Now she’s not satisfied unless she has two.”
“That was before I…”
“Before you what, darlin’?” Blaze asked when she trailed off. Her expression changed and Blaze caught an odd flash move through her beautiful eyes that he couldn’t define.
She shook her head, looked from him to Kalvin in turn, and sat back on her heels as she changed the subject. “The two of you do realize we’ve known each other less than two weeks and we’ve been through more than most people do in a lifetime?”
“We were just gettin’ it out of the way so the rest of our lives would be easier,” Blaze drawled.
She laughed. “I suppose that’s one way to look at it.”
“That’s not what you were about to say, though. That was before you?” He suspected he knew, but he wanted to hear her say it.
She met his gaze and held it as emotions swirled in her eyes. “Before I fell in love with both of you.”
“Aww, darlin’.” Blaze reached for her, intending to pull her down for a long, soulful kiss, but she gave his hand a playful slap.
“Don’t do it.” Her eyes flashed with warning despite the heat he saw rising in their depths. “If you kiss me right now, I’m going to forget everything I want to say and I’m not finished yet.”
“Fine,” Blaze grumbled, and dropped his hand to her upper thigh.
Her gaze fell to his hand and she gave him another warning look before she slid her attention to Kalvin and her expression changed. “What’s going to happen to David?”
Kalvin pushed himself up and leaned against the headboard. “He’s going to live. He suffered second and third degree burns on both legs, but he’s had enough fire training that he knew what to do when the flames got him, too. After he heals enough, he’ll face charges for the fire at the resort.”
“Did anyone ever figure out how he got into my suite?”
“He loved me so much that he had sex with one of the cleaning ladies and stole her master keycard,” Blaze said dryly and then bit back a grin at the incredulous look Faith shot him. “I’m sorry. That was low. I know. But, damn, baby, the man was fuckin’ nuts.”
She frowned. “I guess we both know how to pick our friends, don’t we?”
Blaze rubbed his hand up and down her arm. “What Ashley did to you was insane, darlin’, but I can’t honestly say I’m not happy with how it all turned out.”
A hint of smile trembled on her lips. “You mean if I hadn’t had a psycho for a sister, I wouldn’t have ended up on the island?”
Blaze grinned “Somethin’ like that.”
She leaned down and kissed the tip of his nose. “She did do me a favor. I guess I should be grateful to her for that.”
Blaze caught her when she started to sit up again, flattening his hand firmly on her nape. “Can I kiss you now?” Before she could answer, or worse, protest again, he pulled her head down and covered her mouth w
ith his.
She tasted sweet, hot, and delicious. His other hand was still on her upper thigh and he slipped it between her legs, pressing the back of his palm into her silky, warm pussy. He felt her shiver, heard her breath catch, and was dimly aware of the bed shifting beside them as Kalvin pushed a hand between his body and hers to cover her breast.
He shifted his head, taking the kiss deeper as his tongue danced soft and slow over hers. She moaned into his mouth, likely as much from the passion of their kiss as Kalvin’s hand that had started fondling her breast. Wanting to feel more of her, needing to be inside her, he pulled his hand from between her legs, slid it around her waist and gave her a nudge.
She took the hint as he’d hoped she would and rose to her knees. Blaze lifted his head, refusing to break the kiss as she swung one leg over his body and straddled his waist. He moved his hands to her hips, wanting to draw out the moment despite the demand of his aching cock. He kept on kissing her, loving the slightly control he was showing over her movements as she attempted to lower her body onto his fully erect cock, her tongue challenging his. It stirred up a desperation inside him he’d never felt before.
The bed dipped again and her moans into his mouth grew louder as both of Kalvin’s hands slid between them. The man worked her breasts as effectively as Blaze was working her mouth. Together, they took control of her body, manipulating her in a way they knew would set the fires burning deep inside her.
Unable to wait another heartbeat to be inside her, he reluctantly broke the kiss. “Kalvin?”
It was all he needed to say.
“I’m on it.” Kalvin rolled away, returning in a flash with a condom.
“Will you put it on for me, darlin’?”
Faith’s eyes twinkled with a wicked mischief that told him he was about to get far more than he’d asked for. She proved it when she took the package from Kalvin, ripped it open, and reached between their bodies to curl her delicate fingers around his shaft.
Blaze sucked a breath through clenched teeth as she took her dear sweet time rolling the condom down his length. She didn’t stop at that. Her fingers trailed up and down the rigid length of erection, curiously exploring each shift of the bulging veins through the condom until she reached his hair-roughened sac.
“Damn it, woman,” he growled, drawing a vixen giggle out of her when he let go of one of her hips long enough to grab her wrist and pull her hand from between their bodies.
He pulled her back down, taking control of her mouth once again as he used the hold of his other hand that remained on her hip to ease her body down. He impaled her sultry body slowly, her soaked pussy lubing the way. Her inner muscles contracted around the head of his cock, drawing him deeper as he pulled her down inch by glorious inch.
Wanting to see her reaction, he wrenched his mouth from hers and looked at her. Though her head was bowed so he could see the pleasure-filled expression on her face, her eyes were closed. He pushed inside her the final inch that settled her body firmly on his cock and a soft gasp escaped her lips.
She squirmed a little as if trying to intensify the pleasure and he tightened his grip on her hips again, keeping her right where he wanted her. He and Kalvin had made love to her in various ways and positions since she’d moved in with them, but they hadn’t yet taken her together. Tonight would be that night.
* * * *
Feeling close to delirium, Faith gave moving another shot. She pumped her hips forward, grinding her pussy on Blaze’s cock, and smiled down at him, opening her eyes as a low growl rumbled from his throat.
“You do that again and I’m gonna go off far sooner than I want to, darlin’,” Blaze warned, his expression turning tight and concentrated.
“Maybe I’m already as close to going off, as you so eloquently put it, as you are.” Since he still wouldn’t let her move, she purposely flexed the muscles in her channels, squeezing them around his shaft.
“Sonuvabitch,” he growled and she couldn’t help but laugh. “Kalvin, I know what you’re plannin’ to do, man, but it you don’t get to it soon, there ain’t gonna be time.”
Faith stilled as Kalvin’s hands fell away from her breast. She wanted to tell him not to stop. She’d been thoroughly enjoying the way he’d been squeezing her tits, rolling them in his palms, and pinching at her nipples. The wonderment of what exactly he intended to do stopped her.
“I’m on it.” Amusement laced Kalvin’s voice as he rolled until he reach the side of the bed.
She turned her head, her gaze locking on his super-sexy ass as he got to his feet and walked out of her sight. “Where are you going?”
“Not far, sweetheart. I just need a supply or two.”
Trepidation and anticipation mixed a crazy concoction in her system. Unable to stand it, she fixed a glare on Blaze. “What is he doing?”
Blaze’s thumbs drew lazy circles on her hips as his gaze danced over her face. “He’s gettin’ the lubricant. Do you remember the first night we made love when he said your pussy wasn’t where he wanted to take you?”
She slowly nodded as she thought back. Then her eyes widened. “He was talking about my ass, wasn’t he?”
Blaze nodded. “It’s the only way we can both be inside you, really inside you, at the same time, darlin’.”
The foot of the bed dipped, the mattress swayed, and then she felt Kalvin’s hands flatten on the backs of her legs. He dragged his palms up in a slow caress until he reached her ass and then covered both of her cheeks with his large hands.
“Will you let us do that, Faith?” Kalvin asked, his voice husky with need. “Will you let us make love to you at the same time?”
The idea made her feel dizzy, intoxicated, and filled her with more desire than she’d ever thought possible. She’d had anal sex before, but only once, and that had been a long time ago. She thought about the size of Kalvin’s cock and felt as though she might pass out even as the anticipation of the pleasured pain made her body convulse.
“Yes,” she said breathlessly. “God, please. Yes.” She wanted it. She wanted to feel both of them inside her at the same time. It would hurt having Kalvin’s cock in her ass. She was certain of it, but she didn’t care.
“Don’t move, baby,” Kalvin instructed her as the warmth of his hands left her ass. “I have to prepare you first.”
She’d flattened her hands on Blaze’s chest when he’d pulled her down for that last kiss and her elbows started to shake, as much from the continued weight she was putting on them as the anticipation of Kalvin’s preparations. Cool, wet fingers moved between her buttocks, and she couldn’t hold Blaze’s gaze any longer. She bowed her head, her mind racing as rapidly as her heart as Kalvin’s fingers massaged her flesh, spreading the lubricant over her ass. His finger pushed inside her anus, bringing with it a stinging pain that quickly dissolved into a mind-numbing pleasure.
“Talk to us, darlin’,” Blaze urged softly. “How does it feel?”
She shook her head, unable to describe the bittersweet pain morphing to astronomical bliss. It took the form of searing darts that shot from her ass straight to her pussy that was already filled by Blaze’s cock. “More,” she finally managed. “Please, I want more.”
Kalvin twisted his finger inside her, pulled it free, and another finger joined to work the gel in deeper. Together, his fingers stretched her anus until she pleaded with him to stop, to give her even more, to do something to relieve the talons of confusion clawing through her body.
“Oh, God, Kalvin, I can’t.” Her elbows gave out. She collapsed on Blaze’s chest, her eyes squeezed tightly shut as the pleasure blinded her, the pain a burning craze that shouldn’t feel good, but somehow did.
Kalvin’s fingers spread deep inside her, separating to stretch her as they circled and eased back only to pump inside her once more. The burn magnified, her pussy leaking juices around Blaze’s cock even as it convulsed around his shaft. The intensity of it drove her to a crazed state of need. Her eyes filled as her clit begged
and her hips jerked against Blaze’s firm hold at the invasion of Kalvin’s fingers now pumping methodically into her rear.
“I’ll stop if you want me to,” Kalvin said gruffly.
“No!” The cry was wrenched from her throat as he pulled his fingers free only to plunge them in again. More coolness added to the inferno he’d built in her ass as he worked another glob of gel into her, the grease making a squishing sound as he fingered her deeper, faster. “I’ve got two fingers in your tight little rear now, baby. God, I wish you could see this.”
“Forget seein’ it. I can’t damn near feel it,” Blaze said through clenched teeth. “Her pussy is tightenin’ around my cock. Damn, man, it feels fuckin’ amazin’.”
“Are you ready for my cock now, Faith?” Kalvin asked as he continued to thrust his fingers inside her ass.
“Yes, please.” She half groaned and half cried out the words. “Make love to my ass, Kalvin.”
“Fuck, that sounded so sexy.” He positioned himself, holding her ass cheeks spread with his hands as his cock nudged against her anus.
Unable to breath, unable to think, she forced her eyes to open and looked down at Blaze. His lips were drawn tight, intense concentration and arousal darkening his eyes. Kalvin filled her ass with a slow but persistent thrust that pushed her body down onto Blaze’s, drawing his cock deeper still into her pussy.
“Ah, God,” Blaze breathed, his neck arching and his eyes rolling back. “I can feel his dick going inside you.”
So could she, and it was like nothing she could have prepared for, having two magnificently sized cocks inside her at once. She felt over full, stupendously invaded, and perfectly complete. Kalvin stopped when the base of his body met with her ass, his balls dangling between her legs and his. He folded himself over her, nuzzled his face in the side of her neck, and whispered in her ear.
“I want to move so badly, but if I do, I’m not going to last.”
Faith flexed the muscles in her ass, squeezing around his cock, and smiled at the animalistic growl the act pulled from his throat.
