Two Cowboys in Her Crosshairs [Hellfire Ranch] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour)

by Jennifer August

  Boone shrugged. “But you didn’t. I’ve got to get to the sheriff’s office. I don’t want to leave Tag alone with Fischer too long.” A fierce grin touched his lips. “Not that I would cry a whole lot should something happen to him.”

  Jake stood and held out his hand. “Thanks for all your help here, Boone.”

  Hudson and Olivia rose as well. “Yeah,” Hudson said. “Thanks.”

  Olivia cocked her head. “What about the sheik?”

  “What about him?”

  “You said the Bureau had been tracking Kohli for a few years.”

  “Uh-huh.”

  “If you’re right and Fischer was just a pawn, then you’ve got to find out who was paying him.”

  Boone nodded. “We’re on it.”

  “What about the ambush? Is there enough evidence to prove he was behind it?” Jake asked.

  The silence was answer enough, and impotent rage flared in Jake.

  “Look,” Boone said, “we’ve got a lot going on behind the scenes right now. Some information we’ve dug up that doesn’t jibe with what we know Fischer was into. I want some answers from him, and then we’ll see what happens. For now, it’s in our hands. When I can tell you anything, I will.”

  Jake didn’t believe him.

  “Sure you will,” Olivia said. Her tone clearly implied her doubt, too. She headed to the front door. “Keep in touch, Boone.”

  He chuckled as he strode forward. “You’re not getting rid of me that easily. We’ve got a lot of old Hellfire members spread around this town like Doc Mayers and Tag. I think Freedom is as good a place as any to set up shop for a while.”

  “Why?” Jake asked, startled. “I figured you’d depose Fischer and get back to DC.”

  Boone frowned. “Something about this whole setup doesn’t make sense. I’d like it settled before I pack it in.” Boone stopped at the door and looked at Olivia. In the fading sunlight, Jake thought he saw regret cross Boone’s face, and his gut tightened.

  The Fed lifted his gaze and nodded. “Treat her well, you two, or you’ll answer to me.” Then he pushed open the screen door and walked out.

  Olivia waved and shut the door then leaned against it.

  Shadows smudged the olive skin beneath her brown eyes. Her full mouth drooped at the edges.

  Hudson edged around him and gathered her into his arms. He looked over his shoulder and jerked his head while he mouthed, “Come here.”

  Jake didn’t need a second invitation. He crowded into the entry and wrapped them both in his arms.

  Olivia relaxed against his chest. “Nice,” she murmured.

  “I know what would be better,” Hud said and pulled away.

  The smoldering look on his face told Jake exactly what he was thinking. He grinned and dropped his arms. “Good idea. If you’re not too tired,” he said.

  Olivia looked from one to the other then a slow and wicked smile crossed her sweet mouth. “Why, gentlemen, I do believe you have something lustful in mind.”

  “Only if you’re up for it. Otherwise we can just cuddle until you’re rested,” Hudson said.

  “Are you kidding me?” She reached around and flicked the lock on the door. “I’m aching to be filled by the two of you. Come on.”

  Jake cupped her cheek. “Are you really sure, Livvie?”

  She tipped her head and cradled his hand. Her dark-chocolate eyes glimmered with life and love. He inhaled sharply. Even though she’d not said the words, her emotions were as clear as a Windexed window.

  “Yes,” she whispered. She reached out to Hud.

  He moved closer and caressed her shoulder. “Standing out there while he held you two at gunpoint damn near killed me. I was frozen. Scared. Didn’t know what the hell do to. The only thing I could think of was saving you so I could tell you how much—” She choked on her tears then took a deep breath. “The only thing I wanted to do was tell you both how very much I love you.”

  Jake whooped and kissed her hard. She looked dazed when he lifted his head, but not nearly as surprised as Hud.

  “Hey, you okay?” Jake asked him.

  Hud’s green eyes glinted with unshed emotion. His throat worked, but no words emerged. He tightened his lips then blew out a shaky breath. His gaze enfolded them both. “I’ve never had anyone love me for real, Livvie.”

  She frowned and turned to him. She pulled him into a hug. “But Jake,” she whispered.

  “Ah, Jake doesn’t count. He’s as good as my brother. I know he loves me. But I forced that on him.”

  “The hell you did,” Jake said. Shock and tenderness raced through him. He grabbed Hud’s scruff. “From the moment we met I knew you were someone special. I knew you were someone I always wanted in my life.” His gaze drifted down to Olivia. “Now I have both of you, and I couldn’t be happier. You’ve made my life complete, to borrow a cliché.”

  Livvie’s lips trembled, and she hiccupped a wet little sound.

  “Ah, hell, Livvie,” Hud mumbled. “You’re not gonna cry, are you?”

  “Maybe.” She sniffed again. “Unless someone does something to distract me.”

  Jake chuckled. “I think the bedroom is the perfect place for distraction.” He grabbed Olivia’s hand and tugged her in the direction of the bedroom.

  “Wait,” Hud demanded. He raked his hand through his hair.

  “It’s okay, Hud,” Olivia said. “I just wanted to tell you how I felt. You don’t have to respond the same way.” She winked. Her hand dropped to the bulge in his jeans. “I know you want me and, for now, that’s enough. I plan on wooing you in ways you’ve never imagined.”

  Hud raised a pained gaze to the ceiling. His cheeks flushed with a dusky hue that reached the tips of his ears. “You don’t have to. Woo me, that is.” He cleared his throat and looked down at her. “This is hard for me to say, Livvie. I’ve known Jake for so long that we don’t question our bond. My past is something I’ve come to terms with.” He grimaced. “For the most part.”

  “Out with it, Hud,” Jake ordered. He knew exactly what Hud felt for Olivia. Getting him to quit running around the damn barn door to spit it out was another thing. “Don’t you want to spread that sweet little ass sometime today?”

  Hud’s eyes widened, and he smiled. “Yeah.”

  “Well then?” He jerked his head in her direction.

  Olivia stood between them. Patience and a soft kind of awe radiated from her.

  “Livvie.” Hud took her hands. “Livvie, I just want you to know. That is, I’m trying to say…” He stumbled to a verbal halt then sighed deeply. “Damn it, Livvie, I love you.”

  Her laughter was a cascade of amusement and delight. “Was that really so hard to say?”

  Hud grinned. He stood straight and tall. “Nope,” he said. “It sure as hell wasn’t.” He looked down. “But something else is hard.”

  She laughed again. “Then let’s go take care of that.”

  Jake tugged Olivia through the living room and into his bedroom. “Get out of your clothes, Livvie. I want you naked and on the bed in one minute flat.”

  She lifted a brow. “And if I’m late?”

  Jake leered at her as he tore at the buttons of his jeans. “I just might have to paddle your pretty round ass if that happens.”

  “Whoa,” Hud said as he stripped off his T-shirt. “If anyone gets to spank her, it should be me.”

  “Why you?” Jake demanded. His shirt and shoes joined the growing pile on the floor.

  “Because I called dibs,” Hud said.

  Jake snorted and peeled off his socks.

  Hud’s jeans hit the floor.

  Jake propped his hands on his hips and studied the still fully-dressed Olivia. He lifted a brow. “Are you looking for a spanking?”

  A secretive smile hovered at the edges of her full lips. “If I am?”

  Deep, dark lust hit him with the force of a locomotive. Jake licked his lips. “I think we can accommodate that,” he said.

  Hud walked towa
rd her and grabbed the hem of her T-shirt. “I’ve never done anything really kinky before, Livvie. I’m willing to do anything you want me to.”

  He threw her shirt on top of his jeans and dropped his hands to her waist. “But right now I’m thinking of your sweet, tight ass and how much I want to get my cock in it.”

  Jake caught her shoulders as she swayed. “I see you like that idea.”

  “Uh, yeah,” she replied. She looked down at Hud’s cock and cupped his rigid length in her palm. “Except we’ve already discussed your girth is a bit more than I’m used to.”

  Jake caressed her shoulders. He dropped a kiss on the sensitive skin of her neck and grinned at her shiver. “Goose bumps,” he said. “I like ’em. Don’t worry, sweetheart. We’ll open you up so you can take him just fine.”

  He felt her tremors and lifted his brows at Hudson. “Why don’t you take her mind off of it for a minute. I’ll be right back.”

  He pushed her into Hud’s welcoming arms and strode down the hall to the kitchen. He flung open the refrigerator and shivered as the cold air wafted over his naked body.

  Despite the chill, his cock remained hard and at attention. Jake pulled open the vegetable drawer and looked in. He grinned and reached down.

  * * * *

  Olivia peered around Hud’s muscular shoulder. “Where is he going?”

  “Don’t worry about him, doll. Hop on the bed. I want to get you ready.”

  She shivered but couldn’t decide if she felt excitement or fear. Probably both.

  She perched on the edge of the bed and clasped her knees. “Now what?”

  Hudson’s green gaze twinkled. He smiled, and her heart did a little flip. He really was a handsome man but so much more. His carefree air hid a wealth of vulnerabilities and sweet emotion that drew her like ants to sugar. His blond hair was in need of a trim. The edges curled around the tanned and strong column of his neck. Her fingers itched to dig into the silky strands. She wanted to feel them tickling her breasts and ribs and tummy as he made his way down her body.

  Olivia’s pussy clenched.

  He edged between her knees. His big hands cupped her waist and wandered up to her tits. He covered her entirely with his palms and squeezed. Olivia groaned at the heated flush his touch gave her. Her nipples tingled and pushed into his soft flesh.

  His laugh was warm and low against her ear. “I’m going to enjoy loving you, Livvie. I can’t wait to take you. Do you know how good your mouth felt on my cock?”

  She shook her head. Words were impossible right now. His touch, his nearness drew every coherent thought from her brain.

  He caught hold of her shoulders and pushed backward with gentle firmness. “On your back, sweetheart.”

  She fell to the bed with a slight “oof.” His angular face appeared over her.

  “Comfy?”

  Her legs hung over the edge of the bed with her thighs splayed wide. Her fingers gripped at the soft cotton blanket. “Yes,” she whispered.

  He kissed her hard again. “Good. Don’t move. Be right back.”

  Then he was gone.

  Now what? Both Jake and Hud had disappeared. She was aching with desire and neither man seemed in a hurry to quench her lust. She sighed grumpily and closed her eyes.

  An image of Jake and Hudson drifted into her mind. Both men were naked and standing in front of her. In her naughty daydream she knelt before them and stared at their gloriously hard cocks. Her mouth watered, and she moved her hand between her legs. She speared through the small patch of pubic hair and slid her index finger between her dripping lips.

  She dipped her finger into the sweet liquid seeping from her pussy then trailed it back up to her clit.

  Olivia groaned and bucked.

  “Starting without us, sweetheart?” Jake asked.

  Olivia’s eyes flew open. She levered up on one elbow but didn’t remove her other hand. “Maybe.”

  “Impatient wench,” Hudson murmured.

  Jake moved to her left and Hudson to her right. The bed swayed a little when Jake set something on it.

  She turned her head and her eyes went wide. She threw a startled glance at him. “You’re not serious?”

  He grinned. “Improvisation is the key to life, right? You’ve seen the ‘stop the vegetable abuse’ billboards on the freeway?”

  She stifled a giggle. “Yep.”

  He looked morose. “Well, since we don’t have time to contact that store for real toys, I’m afraid we’re going to have use what we have at hand.”

  She looked back at the bed. “Why two?” Her ass clenched. Olivia rubbed her clit a little more. She gave just enough pressure to keep herself on the edge but not enough to go over.

  Jake held up a carrot. “This is the beginner’s plug. It’ll help stretch you slowly. It’s not too big.”

  She lifted a brow. “It’s not exactly small either.” The carrot had a wide blunt end. She figured it was at least an inch across.

  Jake winked. “You’ll adjust. Which is the point, of course.” He dropped the carrot and picked up the cucumber. “This is pretty slender and narrow, but it will do the job of getting your tight ass open even more.”

  “Oh my God,” she breathed. The cucumber had to have been at least two inches across. That will never fit in me. Despite her hesitation, Olivia could not stop the waves of lust that left her panting. It was doing the same thing to Hud and Jake from the looks of the two hard-ons they sported.

  Hudson tapped her knee. “But first, we’re going to start with my fingers. Lift your legs onto the bed.”

  “Guys,” she said then stopped. What was she going to say? No? She really didn’t want to say no.

  Jake clambered onto the bed next to her head. He squeezed her tit and rolled the hard nipple in his fingers.

  Olivia sighed in appreciation and lifted her chest as she obediently pulled her legs up.

  A snap echoed in the bedroom, and she looked between her spread thighs in time to see him toss a white bottle to the side. “What’s that?”

  He winked. “Lube.”

  “You don’t have toys, but you have lube?” she asked.

  Jake tweaked her nipple. “Stroking my dick without some kind of lubrication is a recipe for massive chafing.”

  She giggled.

  Hudson gave them a mock glare. “Ready?”

  “Oh, boy,” she whispered then nodded. “Do it.”

  He blew her a kiss then his hands were on her ass. One big palm spread her butt cheek while the finger of his other hand touched her sensitive hole. She recoiled with a loud gasp.

  “Easy, sweetheart. Try to relax. Clenching only makes it hurts worse.”

  “Feels damn good clamped down on your cock though,” Jake said.

  Olivia undulated beneath their hands. Their words were making her hornier than she’d ever been. Hudson’s soft caress against her ass was in direct contrast to the tight pinch of Jake’s fingers on her nipple.

  “Go ahead,” she said to Hudson.

  He winked. “I’m trying. You’re pretty damn tight.”

  Olivia forced her muscles to relax. She gasped as his slick finger slid in her ass. Warmth assaulted her butt, and she wiggled.

  Jake scooted closer. He kissed her then trailed his lips along the column of her throat and down her shoulder until he closed around her nipple.

  She arched into the hot warmth of his mouth.

  Down below Hudson’s long and slender finger sawed hotly in and out of her ass. The slow, even motion served only to spike her desire higher. Her pussy contracted with each thrust as if he were embedded there instead.

  “Jake, hand me the carrot,” Hud said.

  Olivia cracked her eyes open as Jake’s mouth left her breast. She moaned in protest, but he was back before any words fully formed.

  He winked at her as his teeth surrounded her turgid nipple. “Hold on,” he whispered.

  “Ready, Livvie?” Hud asked.

  She was so damn ready she was about to
explode. An orgasm welled in her pussy that threatened to overflow the bed. “Yes,” she hissed. “Please, I need someone to fuck me.”

  Hud’s dark chuckle sent another lustful wave crashing over her. She threaded her fingers in Jake’s hair and urged him closer to her tit. “Harder,” she rasped. “Harder, Jake.” She wanted to feel his mouth on her. Her body yearned to connect with him.

  His teeth scraped the sensitive tip of her nipple just as the cold and blunt end of the carrot speared her ass.

  She wailed as her hips lifted off the bed.

  Hud’s strong hand pushed her back down as he pushed more of the carrot inside her. “Easy, Livvie. Don’t clamp down. Easy. Easy.”

  The juxtaposition of Jake’s heated mouth and the chilled carrot sent her into a tailspin of sensory overload. Her clit pulsed and bulged as it begged for attention. Her nipple echoed the beat. She struggled to relax and allow her body to accept the intruder. She’d had anal sex before, but apparently it had been much too long.

  She felt the chilled length of the vegetable travel deeper inside, and a new kind of moan escaped her.

  Jake nibbled his way to up her chest and neck to plunder her mouth. “God, baby,” he whispered against her lips. “You look so fucking sexy between us. I bet your sweet pussy is dripping, isn’t it?”

  “Yes,” she whimpered. “But I want more.”

  Jake chuckled.

  The carrot slid in and out of her ass. Olivia struggled to lift her head and look at Hud, but she was too shaky. Suddenly Jake’s palm cupped the back of her neck and gently lifted.

  “Is that what you wanted?” he asked in her ear. “Want to see how hot and hard you have Hudson while he works your ass over?”

  “Yes,” she answered.

  Hudson’s usually smiling face was a study in dark intensity. His forehead wrinkled in concentration and his mouth was as tight as her ass had been. He met her eyes.

  “Do you know how damn hard it is not to take you right fucking now?” His other hand dropped to his raging hard-on. “I want to stretch your ass out with my cock. Livvie. I want to watch the lust and need and pain in your eyes as I sink into your sweet hole all the way to my balls.”

  His tone was heavy and gritty as if every word was difficult to get out.
