Phoenix’s boots came into view, and she knew that all three of them watched what Blade did to her. “So, you believe that we love you? You know that if we didn’t love you, we wouldn’t care so much about this.”
Turning her head, she smiled up at him, feeling the love for her pouring off of them even now. “I know.” Turning back to stare at the floor, she blew out a breath. “Just get it over with.”
A hard slap landed on her bottom, one she hadn’t expected because Blade’s finger was still inside her. Gripping her hair, Hawke turned her to face him, his eyes glittering darkly. “You don’t tell us how to punish you.”
Blade laughed softly. “This is not a spanking that I’m just going to rush. Phoenix, get that wood I carved for her and get it ready.”
Imagining that he wanted to use a piece of wood to spank her, Sarah began to struggle. “No. Please, just use your hand.”
Blade stilled, turning her to face him. “Do you really think I would hit you with a piece of wood?” Shaking his head, he sighed. “Trust is still an issue with you, isn’t it? What am I saying? Of course, it is. Baby, I would never hurt you like that. Ever. None of us would. If it’s the last thing I do, I’ll get your trust.”
Hawke spoke from behind her, somewhere near her feet. “We’ll get there. In the meantime, she needs to learn a lesson. She needs to understand that a threat to her safety isn’t something any of us is ever gonna overlook. Give it to me, Phoenix.”
Sarah gasped when Blade slid his finger free, clenching her bottom when he parted her ass cheeks. “What are you doing?”
A sharp slap landed on her bottom and then another. “Quiet. I don’t care how tight you clench your sweet ass, this is going in.” Blade’s voice had taken on a silky, no-nonsense tone that sent a chill through her.
The chill travelled up and down her spine when he parted her ass cheeks wide, and something hard and unforgiving pushed at her puckered opening.
Shaking, she struggled to breathe, her toes curling as the large hard object was pushed into her.
Phoenix whistled. “Jesus, that’s beautiful. It turned out great, Blade. With that thing that Hawke rigged up, she should be in a real mess soon.”
Hawke pushed the object farther into her ass, and to her embarrassment, her pussy and ass clenched, her juices literally trickling down her thighs. “Just a little more. Don’t worry. Blade made it wide at the end so it can’t slip all the way into you. It’s smooth and slick enough with the salve that it won’t scratch you.”
“It’s too big.” It felt so cool and hard inside her, nothing at all like their finger or Phoenix’s cock had felt.
Blade patted her bottom. “You’ll have this inside you every time you get spanked. Hmm, maybe I should start carving a bigger one.”
Another chill went through her, her breath coming out in short pants as she struggled to adjust to the object Hawke continued to push into her. “No. I’ll be good. I swear. I’ll be good.”
Blade laughed softly at that. “Well, maybe we’re getting somewhere. We’ll see how you are when we finish.”
Hawke paused. “Hold her still. The widest part is going into her now, and I don’t want to hurt her.”
Phoenix bent to look into her eyes. “That won’t hurt her. She’s just not used to it. She took my cock in her ass just fine, didn’t you, honey?”
The heat in her clit kept growing, the vulnerability of her position exciting her. The knowledge that the piece of wood carved for her would force her bottom wider, though, filled her with trepidation.
“Is it in? Oh, God. It burns.”
Hawke paused. “Damn it. It’s too big.”
Blade stiffened. “No, it’s not. Give it to me. Sarah, reach back and hold this pretty ass wide open.”
Sarah’s eyes went wide, wondering if he could actually be serious.
“Don’t make me tell you again.”
Alarmed at his tone, Sarah rushed to obey him, her face burning at the knowledge that all three of them watched her reach back and pull her ass cheeks wide.
“Good girl.” Blade ran a hand over her back while pushing the object deeper. “It burns because it’s stretching you. It won’t hurt you. I’d never hurt you that way. You know that, don’t you?”
Phoenix cursed. “I’d never have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes. Oh, just imagining all the things I can do to her.”
“Just be careful. If you hurt her, I’ll kick your ass.” Hawke placed his hands over hers. “It’s almost all the way in. Just a little more. That’s it.”
Sarah feared she might burst. “So full.”
Blade slapped her ass again, releasing the carved wood and allowing her to feel the flat part of the end pushing against her opening. “You’ve been fuller. Now, put your hands back down so we can get to your spanking.”
His hand came down on her ass again—harder than before. “Why are you being spanked?”
The heat stunned her.
She clenched on the object in her ass, making the inner walls burn as well. The heat quickly spread, engulfing her clit and pussy in a way that left her crying out and fighting his hold—her arousal almost more than she could bear.
Writhing on his lap for relief proved futile, his firm hold not allowing her to move much at all. “Please! Oh, God. It burns everywhere.”
“Blade—” Hawke rushed to her side, kneeling to look into her eyes.
“I know what I’m doing, Hawke. Tug her nipples.”
“No!” Sarah cried out as several more slaps landed on her bottom in rapid succession. “I can’t stand it. Oh!” The tugs to her nipples nearly sent her over. “I’m gonna come. It’s so strong. Please. Help me.”
Hawke’s gaze sharpened, his lips curving in a slow smile that made her insides flutter. “You really are something. How the hell am I gonna get any work done?”
Blade slapped her ass again, each slap shifting the object filling her ass. “Why are you being spanked?”
Her clit tingled in the way it did when she was getting ready to go over.
Knowing that he wouldn’t give her the relief she needed until she answered him, she took several deep breaths and squeezed her eyes closed. “Because I d-disobeyed you. I never will again. I’ll do whatever you s-say.”
“Without argument, hesitation, or questions?”
“Yes!”
“We’ll see.” Sliding an arm under her, Blade lifted her to her feet, steadying her when she swayed. Flattening her hands against Hawke’s chest, she focused on locking her knees, the shift of the plug inside her leaving her feeling weak and shaky.
It took several seconds before she realized that Blade was in the process of sliding a thick strip of leather around her waist, fastening it in the back. “What—oh, God!”
Hawke’s warm hands covered her breasts, the slide of his callused hands over her nipples slowly driving her insane with pleasure. “Be still. Blade’s not done with you yet. Spread your legs.”
Looking up at him, she hesitated.
Hawke closed his fingers over her nipples, a dark brow going up.
Remembering her promise to do what they demanded without question, she spread her legs wider, biting her lip to hold back a groan when Blade thread a thinner strip of leather between her thighs, fastening it front and back on the belt. Kneeling in front of her, he parted her folds until the leather pressed against her clit.
Fisting her hands on Hawke’s chest, she moaned. “It’s pushing it deeper. Oh, God!” She moved experimentally, crying out at the sharp stab of pleasure.
Blade rose and stood back, apparently admiring his handiwork. “Yes. It’ll keep you from taking the plug out while we’re gone, and the beads sewn into the front will rub against your clit every time you move.”
Hawke tugged at her nipples before releasing her. “Now, get dressed.”
Moaning again when Phoenix closed in behind her and cupped her breasts, she leaned back against him and gaped at Hawke. “You’re leaving? You can�
��t leave me like this!”
Hawke shrugged. “We’ve got work to do with that stallion. We had to stop to take care of you. We’ll be back for supper.” Bending, he touched his lips to her nipple. “We’ll go to the spring tonight. Get everything ready.”
Shaking violently from the need still raging through her, she watched them walk away, realizing that she’d once again underestimated them.
Narrowing her eyes at the closed door, she started to remember all the things the women at the bordello had told her about driving men crazy with lust.
By the time she’d gotten dressed again, and gathered their things for the spring, need clawed at her.
Lifting her chin, she went to open the windows, watching them cross to the paddock again.
Still not believing they’d leave her in this condition, she rubbed her nipples where they ached, wishing she could rub the place between her thighs.
They’d taught her a lesson, all right—one she wouldn’t soon forget.
She’d seen the looks in their eyes, the watchfulness.
The love.
Gasping again at the shift of the object inside her, she gritted her teeth and went to retrieve her sewing.
She knew she’d have to wait until they went to the spring for relief, but she was confident that by the time they left, she’d be sated and well satisfied.
She’d just have to figure out a way to give them the turmoil they gave her.
Chapter Nineteen
Blade strode out the door and rounded the small cabin, his cock pounding so hard he found himself fighting not to come in his pants. Gritting his teeth, he looked over at Hawke. “Do you know how fucking hard that was? Christ, I’ve played with women for years and it never got to me like this. I wanted to tease her a little more, but I couldn’t without coming in my pants.”
He looked back toward the cabin, the idea of leaving his wife aroused and naked pissing him off.
Hawke’s eyes narrowed to slits, his features like stone. “I’ve heard you talk about doing things like that to women before, but I’ve never seen it. She was so aroused that her thighs were soaked, and she couldn’t even stay still. It was hard to walk away.”
Phoenix grinned and adjusted his pants. “She’s a passionate little thing.”
Blade clenched his jaw. “Too passionate. I don’t think we’re going to have much luck in using that form of punishment against her.”
Phoenix nodded, looking back toward the cabin. “Yeah, it’s just as hard on us.”
Blade wiped the sweat from his brow, willing his cock to settle. “I’m beginning to see why Eb, Jeremiah, and Maggie look so happy all the time.”
“We got lucky.” Hawke looked back toward the cabin. “She’ll be mad as hell by the time we get back.”
Blade laughed at the anticipation in his brother’s eyes. “That she will. Being aroused for a few hours is not gonna put our bride in a good mood.”
Phoenix threw his head back and laughed. “She’ll be purring like a kitten by the time we finish with her.”
* * * *
Sarah clenched her fists at her sides as she watched her husbands approach. “I see you finally broke that horse.”
Blade grinned. “He’s not entirely broken.” Stopping in front of her, he touched his lips to hers. “Taking the spirit out of him isn’t the point. Just teachin’ him who’s boss. Sound familiar?”
She’d spent the last several hours trying to figure out how to get the damned belt off, and when that failed, trying to figure out how to move without moving the beads against her clit or the hard, wooden object in her ass. Being aroused for so long left her cranky and irritable, and she’d just been waiting for them to come back so she could vent it. “Are you comparing me to a horse?”
Phoenix laughed at that while Hawke went to the porch to retrieve the saddle bag she’d packed. “A little. You’re sure as cantankerous as he is.” Taking her arm, he led her toward the stables.
Sarah stamped her foot, trying to yank her arm from his grip. “Cantankerous?” Frustrated that he held her with no apparent effort, she kicked at him. “After the way you three left me? I should have met you with the shotgun.”
Hawke came up beside her, running a hand over her bottom. “Why didn’t you?”
Phoenix all but dragged her into the stable, every movement sending another rush of heat to her slit.
Kicking at him again, she glared at Hawke. “Because I can’t get this damned belt off. If I’d shot you, I would have had to ask someone else for help.”
Throwing his head back, Phoenix laughed so hard he could hardly walk.
She kicked at him again, her boots having no apparent impact. “It’s not funny.”
Bending, he pressed his shoulder against her belly and lifted her over his shoulder, leaving her dangling upside down and staring at his back. “It’s damned funny.”
It seemed to take forever to ready the horses, but several minutes later, they were on their way to the spring.
Phoenix had positioned her on his lap, straddling the horse, his arm wrapped firmly around her. “I’ve been thinking about you ever since we left the cabin. My cock’s been hard as a rock for hours.”
Every step the horse took moved the beads against her clit and shifting the carved wood inside her. “I don’t feel sorry for you. Oh, God. Phoenix, I can’t stand it.”
“Poor baby. Do you want me to take it off?”
“Yes! Please. Please.” Lifting her, he turned her face down over her lap, his strength surprising her. The sharp reminder of just how gentle they’d been with her made her love them even more.
Lifting her skirt to her waist, he left her ass bare as he worked with one hand to undo the belt around her and the strip of leather between her legs. “Better?”
Sarah groaned as he pushed the heel of his hand against the object in her bottom, while pressing his fingers against her clit. “Oh, Phoenix!”
The sharp slap on her bottom cheek stunned her. “No coming until we’re ready for you to come.”
Hawke’s soft chuckle made her aware of just how exposed she was. “That’s a pretty sight.” His hand pressed against her bottom with Phoenix’s. “You know that I’ll be the one taking this pretty bottom tonight, don’t you? We’re almost there.”
Once at the spring, they tossed their clothes off and stripped her out of hers with a speed that left her dizzy.
She didn’t even have the chance to admire their naked bodies before Phoenix carried her into the water, with Blade and Hawke trailing close behind them. Wrapping her arms around Phoenix’s neck, she cuddled against him. “I thought Indians were savages until I met you.”
Hawke smiled and loosened her braid. “We are. That’s what the world thinks of us.”
“I don’t. I never did think you were anything but wonderful.” Lifting her head, she took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “I love you. All three of you.” She dropped her forehead against his chest, shivering with delight at the feel of Hawke’s lips on her shoulder. “I think I fell in love with you the first time I met you—at least that’s what Savannah says.”
Blade took her hand in his, tightening his hold when she stiffened as Hawke pulled the carved wood filling her bottom free. “You asked Savannah?”
“Oh. Oh, my God.”
Hawke moved in close, running his hands up and down her sides. “It’s out, little one. So, you talked to Savannah about us?”
“Yes.” Surrounded by her husbands, and with their hands gliding over her wet skin, Sarah shook harder, the combination of arousal and emotion bringing tears to her eyes. “I had to. I didn’t know.” Pressing her face against Phoenix, she whimpered. “I didn’t know what love was. When I told her how I felt, she said it was love. Oh, God. I love you. I want to stay here with you forever.”
Phoenix lifted her chin, staring down at her with eyes filled with wonder. “I love you, too, honey. So much that I couldn’t live without you.”
“Give her to me.” Blade c
losed his hands on her waist and turned her toward him. He lowered himself to the upper ledge and lifted her out of the water, his eyes steady on hers as he lowered her onto his cock. “I love you, too. Probably too damned much.”
Gripping his shoulders, she gasped at the fullness, awed by the love shining in his eyes. “Oh, Blade.” She moved on him, aware that Phoenix watched them with a smile on his face as he hurriedly washed. “I can’t believe this is happening. I can’t believe that I’m really going to stay here with you forever.”
Blade smiled and thrust into her. “I knew that you loved us, but I couldn’t understand why you never said it.” He slid his hands to her breasts, his eyes narrowing at her cry of pleasure. “I should have realized that you didn’t even know what love is.”
“Now I do.” Cupping his jaw, she lifted her face for his kiss, thrilled when he bent his head to touch his lips to hers without hesitation.
Melting under his kiss, Sarah moved on him and reached for his braid. Loving the freedom to touch him this way, and the reassurance in his eyes that gave her the confidence to do it, she undid his braid and ran her fingers through his silky hair. “It makes it so much better.”
His hands tightened on her waist, his hold firm but gentle as he moved her on his cock. “Makes what better, love? This? Sex?”
“Hmm mmm. It feels stronger. Closer.” Wrapping her arms around his neck, she brushed her breasts against his chest, sucking in a breath when Hawke moved in behind her and slid his finger into her bottom. “I don’t know how to explain it. It just feels so good.”
Touching his lips to her shoulder, Hawke moved his finger inside her, the feeling of being impaled in both openings sending her senses reeling. “You feel good. We won’t lose you, Sarah. No matter what it takes to keep you safe, we’ll do it.”
Blade pulled her against his chest, kissing her hair. “Even if it means spanking you again, no matter how mad you get.”
Sarah smiled at his soft threat, not worried at all. “As long as you love me.”
“That’s a given, love.” Blade’s arms came around her, holding her body close to his. “I won’t ever give you up.”
