Kane, Samantha - Brothers In Arms 4 (47 page)

Derek pulled up to his knees and gathered Sophie in his arms, trembling with his new understanding. What a bastard he’d been, and Ian had been right. He’d been so right. “Ian, you were right. I understand now, I understand how much I needed Sophie, how much we needed her. God, I’m so sorry, Ian. So sorry I was such an obstinate bastard.”

Ian came to him then and again knelt beside him, brushing a lock of hair from his forehead. “It’s all right, darling, it’s all right. I always knew you’d give in, and eventually you’d see what I was trying to give you. I wanted this for us, Derek, but you’ve made it happen.” Sophie’s hands were smoothing along his back comfortingly as she snuggled in his arms. He was surrounded by their love for him, and he knew he was undeserving, at least for now. But he’d earn it, and they would never regret loving him. His eyes were burning with unshed tears and he closed them tight and buried his face in the curve of Sophie’s neck, holding them back. Ian pressed a kiss against his nape and rested his cheek on Derek’s hair.

After a moment Sophie moved tentatively on him, and the slide of her silken sheath against his cock reminded him why he was naked on the floor of the study with Sophie riding his lap. He pulled away from her neck with a moan and looked at Sophie’s face.

She was intensely concentrating on the pleasure of their joining, sliding slowly down his rigid shaft and back up at a pace that was just short of torture. When she saw Derek looking at her, she smiled tremulously. “While this emotional outpouring is very touching, Derek…” she said breathlessly, and Derek laughed as he finished the sentence for her.

“I really, really want to fuck right now. Yes, Sophie, I’m sorry. Fuck me, fuck me, Sophie, however you want. Use me, ride me, toy with me, torture me. I’m yours,

completely.”

“Not completely,” Ian drawled from behind him. “Lie down, Derek. Let Sophie

have her wicked way with you.”

Derek somehow managed to lie down on the floor with Sophie on top of him while

keeping his cock snug in the hot cocoon of her cunt. Their new position clearly delighted Sophie as she sat up tall astride him and began to move sensuously. She threw her head back and moaned as she swiveled her hips against him, rubbing his 235

cock against that sweet spot inside her. Derek rubbed his hands over her stomach and up to her soft, freckled breasts, squeezing and caressing them as he gave her a moment to ride him.

He looked up as Ian walked over behind Sophie. Derek’s breath caught as Ian

slowly began to undo his trousers. Ian’s eyes caught his briefly then closed in pleasure, and Derek looked down to see Ian had pushed his pants and drawers down enough to free his huge erection. As always the sight of Ian’s hard cock made Derek ache with desire, and he felt his own cock actually quiver with anticipation inside Sophie. This was a new aspect of their lovemaking that Derek instinctually knew he’d come to crave, the thrilling uncertainty of which one of them Ian would fuck first.

As if reading his mind, Ian opened his eyes and looked directly at him. “Not this time, Derek. This is your fuck, yours and Sophie’s. But I must put my mark on you both. I feel a little like your wild animal, Derek, claiming my mates.” Ian gracefully dropped to his knees behind Sophie, who had gone still when she realized he was behind her.

“Ian?” she asked in a breathless, tentative voice. “You may fuck me too, if that’s what you want.” She was clearly a little frightened at the thought, but also excited.

Ian snuggled in close behind her and nuzzled the nape of her neck as his arms went around her. He cupped Derek’s hands holding her breasts and Sophie made a small, mewling noise of pleasure, thrusting the soft mounds into their joined hands. “Is it what you want, Sophie?” he asked quietly in her ear. “Remember it’s always only been what you want.”

Sophie’s head jerked in a shaky nod. “Yes, it’s what I want.” Her voice was so low it was almost inaudible, and Derek passed his thumbs over her nipples in a light caress in an attempt to soothe her. The heat in her eyes as she looked at him told him it had the opposite effect. He smiled at her smugly and she thumped his shoulder with a frown, making him laugh. “I do want it,” she said with a newfound authority that Derek found utterly irresistible, and he thrust his cock into her in an involuntary reaction. Sophie’s head fell back on Ian’s shoulder as she moaned and thrust back.

Ian chuckled behind her and Derek could feel that laughter pass through Sophie

and rumble sensuously along his cock. He arched his back, chasing that laughter inside her. Ian’s hands pressed his against Sophie’s breasts as he kissed her shoulder, his eyes watching Derek’s reactions. As Derek settled back to the floor, his breathing agitated, he could see Ian smile against Sophie’s shoulder. He pulled back to speak. “Not here, not now, Sophie. But soon. Tonight I think, in our bed, which by the way we shall all three be sharing from now on, and it’s about damn time. We’ll fuck you together tonight. I don’t think the study floor is quite the right spot for that.”

Derek could see and feel Ian move in closer to Sophie and suddenly he felt the

unmistakable stroke of Ian’s cock against his balls. His back arched again. “Ian, fuck!

Don’t stop. Christ, that feels good.”

Sophie moaned and tried to grind down on Derek, but Ian held her hips and kept

her from crushing him as he stroked between them. “Ian, oh my God, is that your cock?

That feels wonderful. Damn, damn, damn, don’t ever stop.”

Ian laughed, and Derek was pleased to hear that he was slightly breathless. “Yes that’s me, so be careful. God, Sophie, you’re beginning to sound like Derek. I love it.”

He stroked between them again, his cock gliding over Derek’s balls, sliding past the root of Derek’s cock buried in Sophie, and judging by Sophie’s reaction, up against her sensitive clit. “Christ, Sophie, you are so damn wet, you and Derek both. It’s like gliding through wet velvet. You’ve soaked Derek’s pubic hair with your cum.” Ian shivered and thrust against them again and Derek had to bite his lip to keep from moving. “It feels so marvelous.”

It felt so good, so goddamned good to have Sophie riding his cock and Ian stroking his balls with his thick cock. Ian pulled back and Derek felt the tip of his cock against the sensitive skin between his balls and his anus. “Soon, Ian,” he gasped, “soon I want you in my ass while I fuck Sophie.”

“Mmm,” Ian rumbled, and Sophie moaned. “Fuck her now, Derek,” Ian

commanded in a rough voice. “Move again. Fuck, both of you.”

And Derek and Sophie obeyed.

Ian needed them to get on with it. He wasn’t going to last long after watching them together, and now the feel of them both beneath him, rubbing them both with his cock had him so close he could feel the heat of his orgasm as it rose up from his balls.

It was so hard not to separate the cheeks of one of the sweet, tight asses he was caressing and slide inside. Soon, soon, he told himself, but the image was in his head and he couldn’t dispel it. Then Derek spread his legs wider to encompass both Ian and Sophie and thrust into Sophie and against Ian and Ian was completely in the here and now, his fantasies forgotten. He threw back his head and moaned at the exquisite feeling.

Derek was holding Sophie’s hips, his hands just below Ian’s. He moved one of his hands back to grip Ian’s hip and pull him forward as he thrust into Sophie. The simple movement had so many complicated meanings and Ian savored it. He’d been afraid

he’d be jealous when Derek and Sophie finally overcame their reluctance and came together. He found that his fears had been groundless. He reveled in their passion for one another. He felt omnipotent watching the love he’d fostered between them come to fruition. The two of them, their love for him and for each other, their acceptance of the relationship he’d thought at one time only a dream, made Ian feel invincible.

He had to bend his head and close his eyes and concentrate on his control to keep from coming right then with Derek’s hand on his hip. He wanted to come on them both where they were joined. He wanted Derek to fuck into Sophie with a cock covered in Ian’s cum. The thought made him shiver and he knew this was it, he couldn’t hold back anymore.

“Stop,” he told them with a growl, and he held Sophie’s hips so she was suspended with Derek only half inside her. Ian pushed back between them and rubbed his

sensitive head against Derek’s wet cock and Ian exploded with a cry. The pulsing waves of his orgasm rocked through him, bowing his back and leaving him with shaking

hands. He distantly heard Derek’s curse and Sophie’s moan as they were washed in his release.

He was breathing so heavily after his orgasm he found it hard to speak.

“Fuck…now. Fuck with…me on you.”

Sophie sobbed as she slid down Derek’s shaft, her head still on Ian’s shoulder. “Ah, yes, Ian,” she said, her voice trembling. “I can feel it and it’s so good.”

Ian felt Derek’s hands dig into Sophie’s hips and slam her down hard on the next thrust and then Derek was coming, his head thrown back, neck and chest arched as he cried out Sophie’s name. He was so beautiful. Did he know how beautiful he was? How much Ian and Sophie loved to look at him? As Derek forced her down on his cock, Sophie climaxed for the third time. She reached a hand back and gripped the back of Ian’s head tightly as she rode Derek’s orgasm, moaning with satisfaction. Ian could feel her jerk with each contraction of her release and raised his hands to cup her breasts and pinch her nipples. Sophie cried out and fought Derek’s hold in the throes of another crest. Christ, Christ, they were so perfect. They were his. If he hadn’t already come, Ian would have at that moment.

When it was over, Sophie collapsed against Derek’s chest and he held her tightly as Ian ran a hand down the sensuously curved arch of her back.

“It wasn’t the forest floor, but I think I did all right,” Sophie mumbled. Both Ian and Derek laughed gently.

“I think you did better than all right, Sophie,” Ian murmured with one more stroke of her back. He moved and lay down on his back next to them.

“I think our girl definitely has the ability to handle both of us, Ian,” Derek said with a smile in his voice.

For a moment Ian was taken back in time, to a place before Salamanca, when Derek was young and eager and so happy. He had to close his eyes against the tears as he silently said thanks for returning that Derek to him. When he opened his eyes and turned his head, both Derek and Sophie were staring at him. He smiled, glad that he was able to do so without hesitation. “Yes, yes, I think our girl is bloody amazing, Derek. Bloody fucking amazing.” And both Sophie and Derek laughed as Ian hoped

they would.

Ian had to send for Montague and order him to keep all the servants downstairs

until further notice so that Sophie could sneak back to her room wearing nothing but Derek’s shirt and her stockings and shoes. The shirt covered her from her neck to below her knees, but Sophie was mortified that someone would see her.

At Love’s Command

Derek took his time getting dressed after he spent nearly ten minutes getting Sophie into his shirt. He kept kissing her and suddenly the shirt would be off and they’d have to start all over again. Ian had laughingly joined the game, and when Sophie left they were as aroused as they’d been before “fucking like animals on the study floor”, as Sophie had described it with a blush.

Ian was reclining on his chaise watching Derek dress. There was little he enjoyed more than simply watching Derek move. The play of his muscles in the sunlight

entranced Ian, and he could feel himself smiling. The look Derek gave him was grave.

“What is it?” Ian asked, his smile fading.

“We have to do something about that bastard, Middleton.”

Ian relaxed. “It’s already been taken care of, darling.”

Derek had to wait at the door of Daniel’s club while a footman went to see if Daniel was available. When he returned, Derek was shown to the far corner of a back room with great civility. Daniel had trained them well. Amazing really that a Jew was even a member here. But then again, Daniel defied almost every stricture of their society.

Daniel was drinking with Simon, heavily by the looks of it. Derek felt a stab of remorse because he knew the reason why.

“Derek,” Daniel said congenially when he sat down across from him. You couldn’t tell from his voice he’d been in his cups, just the glassy look in his eyes.

“Thank you,” Derek said simply.

Daniel blinked slowly, then inclined his head with a raised brow. “You’re welcome, although I’m sure I don’t know what the thanks are for. The fabulous cut of my new coat?”

Simon laughed as if Daniel were the wittiest man in London. Suddenly Derek

realized why Simon was also drunk. “I thank you as well,” he told him. Simon stopped laughing and frowned at Derek.

“Do you? Well, that’s original.” Simon shrugged. “Daniel’s little project, really. I was just along for the entertainment.”

Daniel looked at him sharply. “Hardly. Why do you want everyone to think you’re a bloody fool? I can’t be the only man in England who sees through that ruse.”

“No, you’re not,” Derek agreed, silently accepting the glass the footman brought him with a nod. He raised the glass. “To successful projects, then. And the bloody fools who carry them out.”

Daniel and Simon gravely raised their glasses and then took a long drink. Derek sipped his. He wanted to be sober tonight.

“Daniel.” Jason’s voice came from behind Derek and he started with surprise.

Daniel smiled sardonically at him.

“Saw ‘em coming,” he told Derek. “That’s why I swallowed the whole damned

glass.”

Derek looked at Jason, and Tony beside him. Both men looked grim. Derek knew

why they were here and he narrowed his eyes at them warningly. Jason gave him look for look.
