When Isaac broke the kiss and stepped back, Etienne carried her into the steamy bathroom, alit with candles, and the large bathtub full of creamy bubbles. She found herself wobbly on her feet when he set her down. It took a few moments before she realized her lingerie was removed by them. She took their hands and stepped up and down into the deep bath. Turning, she lowered herself through the bubbles, hissing with pleasure at the warm water, and leaned against the sloped side. She grinned at Isaac when he placed a rolled towel behind her neck.
“Soak and relax for at least a half hour. We’ll return to help you out and dry you off,” Etienne said and placed a kiss on her forehead.
“You’re not joining me?”
“Nope. This is for you. Enjoy.”
Turning her head, Kate watched her gorgeous males step out of the room and close the door partway. Isaac even dimmed the lights for her to reveal more of the candlelight flickering around the room. With a sigh, she snuggled deeper into the fragrant, bubbly water and closed her eyes.
Some unknown time later, she felt a bit of cooler air wisp into the room. Opening her eyes at the draft, she twisted until she saw the tall males in the doorway. Both of them changed completely out of their suits. Etienne wore his customary sleep pants while Isaac had chosen a pair of shorts.
“Ready to get out?” Etienne asked as he stepped to the tub and sat on the edge.
Isaac walked past them and pulled one towel off the warmer bar and held it draped between his arms.
“Must I? It feels so good in here,” she said.
Etienne chuckled and reached out to hit the button to open the drain and another for fresh water. “Stand up and let me rinse you off.” He picked up the nozzle and adjusted the water.
With a sigh, Kate pushed herself to her feet. Water and bubbles rolled down her skin, but some clung to her.
Lifting the nozzle, Etienne used it to rinse off her body from neck to knees. He used his finger to encourage her to turn around. When she did, he sprayed her back. Placing the nozzle back, he helped her step out of the tub and onto the warmed mat.
Isaac stepped forward with the towel and began to pat her down. He used slow, sensual motions which heightened the sensations. This wasn’t a simple drying session for either one of them.
Her eyes widened, but she held still under their full attention. She giggled when Etienne grabbed the second towel and patted down her back.
“What’s the giggle for?”
“Ticklish spot,” she said.
“Where?”
“You need to find it again,” she said with a devious grin.
“I’m sure we will, sweetness,” he said, kissing the nape of her neck. He blew a bit of warm breath against the damp hairs at the base of her skull.
She shivered and moaned as her skin reacted. She heard the towels drop on the tile before she was scooped in one of their arms. A sniff told her Isaac carried her back to the bedroom. She found herself placed in the middle of the bed with the males moving on either side.
Limp from the warm bath, she let them move and place her however they wanted. Only she felt them open her legs, bend her knees, and put her wet seam on display. Etienne positioned her arms behind her, encouraging her to clasp her hands around the headboard bars.
She wiggled under their touch, whimpering in unknown anticipation.
“Perhaps a blindfold would be best,” Isaac said, drawing a finger down her belly. “I want her attention on us and her feelings.”
“Excellent idea,” Etienne said as he moved away from the bed, rummaged in the closet, and returned with a silk scarf in his hands. He folded it several times and knelt back down.
“Wait. What? Blindfold, no, I couldn't,” Kate said as she moved her head away when he tried to place the fabric against her face.
“Please, it’ll help you with this first experience. You will only concentrate on your feelings and our touch.”
She nibbled on her lower lip and moved her gaze between them. Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes. “Okay.” She felt the cool fabric press against her eyes as Etienne tied it behind her head in a flat knot.
“Now, I want you to take a deep breath and hold it,” Isaac said.
She pulled in the breath.
“Good. Release it slow.”
She released on a slow five count.
“You’re in our hands and we’ll do nothing to harm you. You’re our chosen, our center, and our heart,” Isaac said.
She felt a breath brush against her face before warm lips met hers, a deep kiss followed, a slick of his tongue. From his taste and scent, she knew Isaac kissed her first. Fingers trailed down her thighs as the bed shifted underneath her.
“Repositioning myself so I can see these puffy lips so moist and shiny with your wetness,” Etienne said.
She whimpered when he moved the back of his finger against her pussy. Her juices leaked down and flooded her opening and his finger. They would all be able to smell her arousal.
“So lovely,” Etienne said with a sigh.
When there wasn’t another touch, she clenched her fingers tighter on the bars. What was happening? Why weren’t they moving?
“Etienne? Isaac?”
“We’re here, darling kitty,” Etienne said.
A warm hand with long fingers curled around her breast, holding the weight, before a thumb flicked over her nipple. Warm breath wisped across her skin.
A single finger grazed the middle of her wet slit, capturing the moisture and drawing it down her pussy lips. With a gasp of surprise at the dual touches, she arched her hips, wanting more.
A whimper escaped when a thumb brushed her clit. She wanted to cry out when Etienne’s thumb rested against the hot, sensitive button. The rubbing was slow, steady, and careful. Why did she want it harder and faster?
“I want to run my tongue against your entire slit and lap every bit of a cream like a kitty with a bowl of milk,” Etienne said, finishing those erotic words with a deep purr. His finger moved with his words until he wiggled her clit. “I’ll finish here, I think, until you cry for mercy. At the same time, Isaac will enjoy those gorgeous breasts.”
“Do you know what to expect when a male kisses your pussy?” Isaac nibbled on her ear. “When he goes down on you and licks every inch between your pussy lips.”
“No,” she said on the edge of a desperate whisper.
“Have you read any steamy romance novels?”
“Yes, my sister smuggles them into the house and devours them,” she said. “We talked about things, but never believed they happen with real couples.” She felt a finger moved along the top of her pubic curls.
“With the right partner, everything can happen. Do you want this?”
“Yes. Oh, yes. Please.” What else would it take from her to draw these males back to her needy body?
The tip of Etienne’s tongue did what he said. It flicked out and glided from the top of her clit, back to her anus, and all the way up again. She shivered as he repeated the process while Isaac captured one of her nipples in his mouth, rolling the bud against his tongue.
Moans and whimpers escaped her at the duo’s touch.
Both males devoured her body, causing her to moan deep and cry out their names.
The flat of Etienne’s tongue pressed to her clit before he took the sensitive nub in his mouth and suckled hard. She felt a single thick finger push inside her tight pussy. He groaned at the feel of her inner muscles clenching around his finger. He slipped in another digit and stroked deep inside her sheath as his tongue worked her clit.
Her hips jerked against their mouths. She felt something tightening throughout her body. Her breathing increased as she cried out with pleasure. What were they doing to her? What was happening?
“Go on, Katie-cat. Go on the ride,” Isaac whispered before he returned to her breast.
His words were the catalyst upon her emotions and body. She screamed as everything seemed to split apart and burst in glorious, powerful magick.
It was almost an internal explosion of something she couldn’t even begin to imagine feeling. Her pussy flooded with moisture, and she felt Etienne lick and clean her like the cat he was.
Releasing her grip on the bars, she dropped her forearms across her face and the blindfold. She panted and tried to remember how to breathe properly. Everything shook and trembled throughout her frame.
One of them slid his fingers under her arms and removed the blindfold. She blinked at the brightness flowing through her crossed arms. Lowering them, she saw Etienne slurping and cleaning the fingers he had inside her pussy.
“You’re so tight around my fingers, Katie-cat. I can’t wait to feel what you do to my cock,” he said after he licked them. He crawled up one side and lowered to place a deep kiss upon her lips. “You’re beautiful when you come and shatter in our arms.”
She blushed under his words.
“Now, time for sleep, Katie-cat, in our arms,” Isaac said as he kissed her next.
Exhaustion tugged at her body. Oh yes, she was shattered by the orgasm. She’d never experienced anything like those feelings in her entire life.
The males lifted and moved her under the covers. Isaac rolled to turn off the lights. Etienne helped her turn into the small spoon position, his arm draping over her hip. She snuggled between his arm and pillow and slid into sleep before Isaac returned to the bed.
Chapter 19
Throughout the rest of the week, inside the house, Kate found herself cherished and instructed in all manner of varieties of lovemaking without either male physically entering her pussy. Still, they coaxed and stretched her tight pussy with their fingers and buzzing toys they called vibrators. Those things drove her out of her mind with ecstasy.
Outside the house, jaguars continued to search the entire forest surrounding the restaurant area. In spite of their efforts, the sniper wasn’t located. The lack of progress pissed off everyone from Alex down to Etienne and Isaac. Alex kept the patrol around Etienne’s house and added teams to the search.
While courting and instructing Kate in lovemaking with Isaac, Etienne followed the exercises and additional therapy the doctor laid out for him. He did stretches and strength training to rebuild his muscles. He grunted when Isaac helped him with the stretch. He let his partner tug and move his arm in another wincing position. The session ended with him plopped on a chair, an ice pack on his shoulder to help soothe the muscles.
“How are you doing?” Isaac settled on the chair next to him.
“Better. Less pain and tension,” he said.
“How about a shift and run with Kate?”
“Am I allowed?”
“I called the doc and let her know what was going on and your progress. She wants us to take a quick trip to the clinic for a checkup. If she agrees, we can head out for a run.”
“Sounds good. Are we allowed to get the hell out of here? Are we still on lockdown?” Etienne asked with a grumble of annoyance.
“Call Alex.”
Feeling like a child who’d been grounded, Etienne dialed Alex’s number. When he answered, he said, “I need to visit the doc for a checkup and want to go for a run with Isaac and Kate. Are we allowed out?”
Alex chuckled. “Yes, put Isaac on the phone.”
Etienne passed the phone to let Isaac speak to the Alpha. The conversation was over in a few seconds. Isaac turned the phone off and handed it back.
“We’re good to go.”
“Let’s get out of here,” Etienne said as he leaned forward and let the pack drop from his hands.
“Find your shoes and I’ll put this back in the freezer. We’ll meet you by the door.” Isaac stood, leaned in to capture Etienne’s lips, and took the ice pack.
Etienne took hold of Isaac’s hand to stop him. He waited for Isaac to meet his gaze. “Thank you. I know you weren’t expecting all this to happen.”
“I told you before, I’m never losing you again. No matter what happens, we’re mates.” Isaac tugged the other man to his feet and enclosed him in a hard embrace.
“What about me?”
The two men turned and saw Kate stood next to them. They chuckled and, together, opened their arms to let her slip between them. They enclosed her in their embrace and exchanged soft kisses between the three of them.
“You’re the center of our—” Isaac said and stopped when the front door slammed open, banged hard against the wall, and made all three of them jump and separate at the noise. Etienne and Isaac both pushed Kate behind them to protect her.
“Who the hell are you to burst into my home?” Etienne demanded and snarled at the protectors who stalked into the room. “How dare you kick down my door.” When the older male followed them through the doorway, he cursed as Kate let out a harsh breath.
“I’ve come to retrieve my daughter,” the sheikh said.
“Father? What are you doing?” Kate peered around Isaac, her fingers gripping his arms.
“What am I doing?” The sheikh stormed across the room and faced his daughter. “The question should be what you have done to shame our family.”
Kate flinched from his anger and buried her face against Isaac’s shoulder.
“What is this about a courtship? I never ordered or acknowledged any type of courtship with my daughter. Now, when I come to find out answers, I discover both of you accosting my daughter. I gave her unto your care for protection, not to take advantage of her innocence. There will be no suspected courtship or protection. I want her removed,” the sheikh yelled and moved his hand as if to slap or punch both men, but his arm was held in a tight grip by one of his sons, who had raced into the room after him and pushed past the protectors. The men in black stood back and did nothing to prevent the violence.
“We followed the law to list and announce the courtship, set by the ancient laws. Our request was approved by Kate and our Alpha. They were the approvals we needed. There is no need to ask a father’s permission. We weren’t doing such a horrible gesture to your daughter, sir,” Etienne said.
“Father! The courtship is what I desire, what I want. I accepted their request! This is my choice!” Kate snapped and waved a hand. “How can you accuse them of trying to harm me? All they have ever done is revealed how much they care for me.”
“Father, enough, step back,” Darko said.
“Release me, boy!” the sheikh ordered.
“I will not,” Darko said.
“They haven’t hurt me, Father, not in any way,” Kate said.
“They signed you to a forbidden contract of courtship! This abandonment of protocol is enough for punishment. Now I find them holding you in a taboo fashion,” the sheikh said, waving a finger at his daughter.
“Everything is forbidden in your eyes! Anything modern is repulsive to you. I’ll not live under your rules and laws.” Kate stamped her foot. “We’re not back in the desert, Father, and I’m not a little girl. I’m the same age as my brothers.”
“They’re males. You’re a simple-minded female—”
Etienne snarled at the man and snapped back at him, “Simple-minded! How dare you call your daughter—”
“She’s female.” The sheikh waved his hand at her. “The rules remain no matter where you are. You must be sequestered. Now I find you clutching unattached males.” The sheikh snapped his fingers at the protectors. “You two take her to the SUV. I want her in the desert and under sequester.”
“Enough!” another man shouted, power pushing through the entire room until even the sheikh stepped back.
Etienne had felt this power before, but it was in the presence of the Conclave. He swallowed hard as it crested over him like a living, breathing cloud. “Alpha, sir,” he said with a deep nod of respect. “I apologize for the disturbance.”
Alex stepped into the home and looked at everyone. He stared down the sheikh until he lowered his gaze. “What is going on in here? Why are you in my guardians’ home screaming and demanding answers? You are guest of my clan, not the Alpha.”
; “Your guardians are taking undue advantage of my innocent daughter. I demand restitution. I want my daughter removed from this hedonistic clan and returned to the desert,” the sheikh said behind the protectors, who moved to cover the sheikh.
“I want silence from you. I will speak with the others,” Alex ordered.
“I will not. I am Alpha and in control of my clan, unlike your disturbed one. I want my daughter out of this room.” The sheikh waved his hand to his protectors. “Remove her from this place, you idiots!”
Alex lifted his lip and snarled at the other Alpha’s demands, and the protectors didn’t move. The power of the Alpha filled the room around them. The pleasant friendly face of Alexander disappeared underneath the mask. With this change, the Alpha turned to look at his guardians and the petite brunette. He gave them a wave of his hand.
Etienne hissed behind clenched teeth and squeezed Isaac’s hand. He noticed Alex’s blue-gray eyes were a swirling, molten-gold color. This was no longer Alexander standing in front of them, but the Alpha, the human version of his cat. “We’re in deep shit,” he whispered to Isaac.
“What the hell is going on?”
“We’re looking at a true Alpha, a born Alpha,” Etienne said. “They’re rare and dangerous when provoked.”
Isaac lifted his eyebrows. “Oh, shit.”
“Looks like the sheikh provoked him.”
“I say big-time pissed him off.”
Kate remained silent.
The Alpha held out his hand and motioned with his fingers. “Ekaterina Brankovich, you will step forward and speak to me.”
“This isn’t her fault, Alpha. Her father is making unbalanced claims without proof. She stood between Isaac and me in an embrace,” Etienne said, holding back both Isaac and Kate. Though he felt the pressure of the Alpha’s power, he was strong enough to stand against it without damage.
“You have initiated courtship with this female along with your male partner. There is more to an embrace during a courtship.”
“A courtship I haven’t approved or allowed!” the sheikh added.
