Blake, Abby - Suddenly Bear (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) (8 page)

“When does she get here?” his dad practically growled as he walked past the office door.

“Not for a while,” Declan answered. His dad was probably going to be the hardest to convince that Violet truly belonged to them. The fact that Declan was falling for her even though he hadn’t actually met her yet was proof enough for Declan. But his dad was a different story. Even though his mother and father had a happy marriage and loved each other deeply, they weren’t true mates, so they hadn’t experienced the type of uncontrollable attraction he felt for a woman he barely knew. He was very aware that being mates didn’t actually guarantee they would love, or even like, each other, but he felt confident enough that they were off to a good start.

“What does ‘Not for a while’ mean?” his father asked in a grumpy voice.

Declan shrugged. “She won’t let us pay her airfare.”

“She what?” His dad had bounced the gold-digger theory around a few times in the past two days, so it felt kind of nice to be able to throw Violet’s stubbornness in the man’s face.

“She won’t let—”

But Brandon’s mother spoke over his father. “Why won’t she let us pay?”

“She wants to pay her own way. And,” Declan said a little louder, cutting off whatever his father was going to say next. “She doesn’t want to lose her job, so she needs to organize holidays.”

“What the hell? She’s a waitress. Give her a job in the restaurant. It’s not like she’ll want to leave once she gets here.”

Declan felt angry enough to want to put another fist through the wall. He knew that his dad would change his tune once he met Violet, but his gruff attitude was getting really annoying.

Fortunately, the man chose that moment to stalk away. The front door rattled on its hinges a moment later, and the distant sound of wood being chopped reached his ears soon after that. So much for being retired. At the rate his dad had been cutting firewood they were going to have enough to last several winters.

“He’ll come around,” his mother said. Declan hoped like hell it proved to be true.

Violet woke for the second morning in a row surrounded by warm muscles. Both Jayden and Brandon had crawled into bed with her the last two nights and simply held her all night long. She could honestly say she’d never been warmer…or hotter.

“Good morning, baby girl,” Brandon whispered in her ear as he pulled her closer. “Did you sleep well?”

Well? If dreaming of red-hot threesomes with these two all night counted as sleeping then, yes, she slept very well. But he didn’t really need to know all of that, so she nodded instead.

He laughed quietly as if he heard every word she
hadn’t
said and then tilted her chin up so that he could press a soft kiss to her lips. “Is there any way I can convince you to come home with me today?”

She was tempted. Oh, she was tempted, but she wasn’t about to let curiosity and overexcited hormones make her decisions for her. And she certainly wasn’t accepting their money. She shook her head and tried to remind herself that a relationship with three men would be damn near impossible to keep. No matter how happy their friend Louise was, surely she was the exception rather than the rule. Keeping a relationship happy with only two people was hard enough. The statistics on divorce proved that. How on earth would Violet keep three men with very different personalities happy?

And was she
really
thinking of doing it?

Hell, she’d already agreed to meet the other brother, but was she seriously considering their offer?

“Brandon,” she whispered quietly, trying not to wake Jayden. “What does Louise do now? You said she
was
a sheriff’s deputy. What does she do now?”

“Oh,” he said with another quiet laugh. “She still works. She’s involved in security for a large private company.”

“That’s good,” Violet said just a little too enthusiastically. It was a relief to learn that their friend Louise wasn’t just a bed partner. Violet might not have a heap of ambition when it came to her career, but she wanted more than just being a sex toy to three men. And she certainly wouldn’t be able to take a backseat and let anyone make all of her decisions for her.”

“Actually, Louise has a friend, Andrea, who also has three husbands. I believe Andrea gave birth to triplets a few months ago.”

“Can I meet them?”

“Of course,” Brandon said as he caressed her hip with his warm hand. “They both live in a gated community a few hours from the resort. We can take you to meet them anytime you like.”

“A gated community?”

“I’ve only been there a few times myself, but it’s really beautiful. And it’s a very safe place to raise pups.”

“Pups?” she asked, feeling confused.

“Children,” he said with a grin. “Offspring, babies, pups, cubs…”

“Sounds lovely,” she said as all of her old dreams resurfaced. A safe place to raise babies sounded just about perfect to her.

“Sure is,” he said as his hand wandered over her ass. She’d slept naked in their arms for the past two nights, but this was the first time Brandon had actually touched her. She’d gotten the distinct impression that they were trying to let her indicate when she was ready. A part of her brain argued that she barely knew him, but deep down, somewhere inside her confusion was a small voice that said she belonged to this man—and his brothers.

It made no sense. She’d never believed in the idea of love at first sight, but maybe this man would prove her wrong. It seemed so strange—especially since she could feel Jayden’s warmth at her back, but the thought of being with Brandon just felt natural, even necessary.

“Can I make love to you?” he asked in a deep, sexy voice.

She shook her head as words jammed in her throat. “No condoms,” she finally managed to squeak out before he could misunderstand her. Whether it was right or wrong, she wanted both Brandon and Jayden, but not without precautions. She’d already erred in that department, and she had no wish to do it again.

Brandon glanced at Jayden and raised an eyebrow.

She looked over her shoulder to find Jayden awake. “Don’t blame him,” she said to Brandon. “It was only once and we weren’t thinking clearly and neither of us indulge in unsafe sex usually and we’d both had a fright and it was a fairly safe time in my cycle so I think we should be okay in that department—not to say that if we did accidentally get pregnant that I wouldn’t have the baby, just that I’m fairly certain that I’m not…you know…accidentally going to have his baby.”

Brandon looked a little shell-shocked by her garbled explanation, and she felt Jayden pull her away from his brother and into his arms. He pressed a kiss to the back of her neck as he held her spooned against him. “It’s okay,” he said softly. “It’ll all work out, I promise you.”

“I know,” she said, willing to believe every word her lover said. She didn’t know whether he meant she wouldn’t get pregnant or that if she did get pregnant he’d take care of her, but she was willing to believe him on that one. Yet she wasn’t silly enough to take the same chance again.

Brandon watched his brother for a moment longer, but then smiled and nodded in agreement. “Well then, we’ll just have to find some other way to pass the time.”

She couldn’t help but smile at his confidence. The man was a rake, and his eyes promised heavenly delights. He leaned over her, pushing her harder against Jayden as he pressed his lips against hers. His tongue swept in, caressing her mouth as his and Jayden’s hands roved over her curves, inflaming her need, erasing her worries, making these men the center of her world.

Brandon broke the kiss, smiled wickedly, and slid down the bed. Jayden kissed her slowly, sensually, damn near breaking her heart with his gentleness even as Brandon threw the blankets off them and tickled her thighs. She writhed to get away from the funny sensation even as she tried to concentrate on kissing Jayden.

She tilted her hips, and Brandon made a sound of triumph before she realized he’d pinned her knees to the bed with her legs wide open. She shook as Brandon stopped all movement, her mind painting a picture of what he would see. He used his incredibly warm tongue to lick her labia, and they both groaned as she felt her pussy pulse more juice onto her thighs.

He licked her again and again, his long tongue curling into her slit and sending her need higher. She moaned as Jayden thrust his tongue into her mouth almost in the same rhythm. Over and over they both tongue-fucked her, mimicking what they’d all rather be doing. Overwhelmed by sensation, Violet tried to wriggle away, needing to stop, needing to breathe, but needing them both so much her entire body ached.

Brandon hummed against her pussy, the vibration unexpected and incredibly erotic. Thick fingers thrust hard and deep into her slit as he continued to suckle and hum against her clit. Finally, Jayden broke the kiss. He watched her as Brandon expertly held her on the verge of orgasm.

She needed just a little more, a little harder, a little faster, but he held back, giving her enough but not enough to climax. Jayden’s hands grazed over her nipples, the peaks hard and nearly painful as he rolled them between his fingers and thumbs. “Come for us.”

Holy crap, did she ever?

Every muscle burst into movement, her entire focus on the sensations coursing over her body. She moaned, the sound deep and satisfied as heat pulsed through every inch of her. Brandon continued to lap at her pussy, sucking at her essence as exhaustion swirled through her and she finally seemed to melt into the mattress.

* * * *

Brandon simply couldn’t get enough of his mate. Her scent, her arousal, her amazing response to their touch was everything he’d ever hoped for. She lay relaxed and pliant against the mattress and instinct screamed at him to claim her, to mark this woman as his own. But, thankfully, in this form, sense overruled instinct and he was able to control the wild need coursing through him.

He pressed an openmouthed kiss to her pussy, lapping at her cream one more time before rolling off the bed and heading into the shower. His cock throbbed, his bear urging him to turn around, but he made it all the way into the shower before his own need overwhelmed him, and he fisted his erection in a tight grip.

* * * *

Jayden would’ve laughed at his brother’s predicament if he wasn’t in the exact same situation himself. He needed to bury his cock balls deep in their mate, but he wasn’t sure how to explain—or even if he was ready to explain—why they didn’t need a condom. So he stayed silent and ground his teeth together and tried to think of anything besides sex. Of course it didn’t help that Violet was still panting hard after her orgasm, or the fact that the scent of her arousal filled the room.

But it was the look of confusion on her face that finally brought him down a notch or two.

“Babe?”

“I…He…h–he just left.”

Jayden leaned over her and smoothed her hair away from her eyes. “He’s just protecting you.” She looked skeptical, so he tried to explain more fully. “Violet, he wants you—so do I for that matter—but you said not without condoms, and he’s respecting that.”

“So he’s what? Having a sho…” Her words trailed off, and Jayden could see the exact moment that she understood what Brandon was doing in the shower. “Oh.” She hesitated a moment, searching his face before asking her question. “Do you think you could maybe take Brandon’s car and drop by the all-night drug store?” He nodded enthusiastically and was about to roll out of bed when she gripped his arm. “Do you think Brandon would mind if I um…joined him in the shower?”

“I think he’d love that. I would, too,” he added before doubt could settle into her mind.

“Are you sure this is going to work? I mean the whole three-men-one-woman thing? Do you really think I’m the one?”

Jayden smiled confidently, hopefully hiding that small niggle of doubt that blurred his vision of the future. “Of course.”
