Black Fire [Panther Key 2] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour)

by Scarlet Day

  Abby watched his cock in fascination as she worked her hand up and down. A small drop of liquid gathered in the slit of the swollen head, and she felt an uncontrollable urge consume her. She leaned down and licked along the slit, taking the drop of liquid into her mouth. Saltiness, combined with spiciness, exploded across her tongue. She wanted to taste more, and she took the head into her mouth. Brad moaned, and Abby felt another body move against her from behind. Abby froze. Shock raced through her as she realized what she was doing. She raised her head and then scrambled to the other side of the bed. Abby looked frantically to Brad and back to Bryce. How could she have been doing that to Bryce when Brad was watching? How could she want Bryce when Brad was here? But she wanted Brad, too! Her body and her cat were making it all too apparent that they wanted both men. She threw her hands over her face. This was so wrong!

  “Abby, baby, I know you don’t understand what’s happening to you, but you need to believe it really is normal for our kind.” Bryce stroked her hair and then ran his fingers along her collarbone, sending shivers across her skin.

  “But…how can I feel like this?” She said the words into her hands, too ashamed to look at Brad and see the hurt and betrayal that must be reflected on his face. “Brad, I’m so sorry!”

  Brad settled onto the bed on the other side of her and moved her hands away from her face, entwining his fingers in hers. “Love, you have nothing to apologize for. This is who you are. It’s who we are. You were meant to feel this way for both of us, just as we feel the same for you.”

  Abby searched his eyes and face for any sign he was just placating her, but there was only sincerity there. The cat in her head growled in approval.

  “This has something to do with the cat prowling around in my brain, doesn’t it?”

  Brad and Bryce looked at each other and then back down to her. Brad cradled her face in the palm of his hand and nodded. “It does. She’s part of you. I suspected it when I saw you with the injured cat, but I knew when you told me about your dream.”

  The memory of her dream rushed through her mind. It had been so accurate. Well, except for the part about who crashed through the door.

  “And you’re not mad at me for, you know…wanting him, too?” Heat flashed across her face at saying the words out loud, and she dropped her gaze in embarrassment.

  Brad chuckled and tilted her chin back up with his finger, so she had to look at him. “Actually, nothing could make me happier. Bryce and I were always meant to share a mate. It’s the way of our kind, and it would be almost impossible for us to have separate mates.”

  Overwhelmed, Abby looked back and forth in amazement between Brad and Bryce. Her thoughts raced as she tried to come to grips with what they were telling her. “You mean…I get to keep both of you?”

  Both men smiled and nodded. Brad leaned in close to her. “Besides, I liked watching you with Bryce.”

  Brad’s words, combined with the sexy grins from both men, reignited the heat that had subsided slightly due to her fear of hurting Brad. She gasped as the heat once again raced through her body, but even hotter than before.

  “It hurts!” Agony flared across her skin as the fire consumed her.

  Brad held her face between both hands and stared intently into her eyes. “Abby, do you trust us?”

  She held his stare. Her cat purred its answer. Abby agreed with it, wholeheartedly.

  “Yes.” She raised her trembling hand and placed it over Brad’s heart. “I do trust you.” She looked at Bryce. “Both of you.”

  Bryce leaned over and pressed his lips to hers. She willingly parted her lips to allow him entrance, and his tongue delved into her mouth, sliding along her tongue and driving her arousal higher. She tasted the citrus and spice that matched his unique scent. A hand caressed her left breast, teasing and rolling her nipple between his fingers. The action sent waves of pleasure down her body.

  Brad moved to the other side of the bed, and she heard him rummage around in her nightstand. A flash of embarrassment shot through her when she remembered she kept her vibrator in that drawer. Bryce distracted her, and her embarrassment was forgotten as his hand left her breast and slid down her abdomen, creating shivers wherever he touched. His fingers parted her soft curls and teased her clit. He probed deeper and delved into her entrance, spreading her juices over her. By the time Brad rolled back over, she was writhing under the heated touch of Bryce’s fingers.

  Bryce broke the kiss and looked down at her. “Our little cat’s getting impatient, brother.”

  Brad guided Abby up and moved her so that she was straddling Bryce, who lay back on the bed and wrapped his hands around her waist. She braced her hands on Bryce’s chest as he guided her up and perched her above his thick cock.

  “Are you ready, baby?” His eyes glowed as she looked down at him.

  Abby was beyond ready, and she gave him her answer by slowly lowering herself down until she felt the head of his cock press against her entrance. The contact sent heat racing through her pussy, and she couldn’t hold back any longer. Sinking down onto Bryce’s hard shaft, she cried out as she took him inside her.

  Bryce groaned under her and raised his hips to meet her. The motion rubbed her clit, and her whole body, already so close to the brink, shuddered as her orgasm broke over her.

  Bryce sucked in a breath and held still while her walls clenched around him. “God, Brad, I’m not gonna last long. You better hurry.”

  Abby felt Brad’s hand on her back, and he pushed her forward so that she was lying on top of Brad. Something cold ran down her ass, and she gasped.

  “It’s okay, love.” Brad leaned over her back and kissed her neck. He put his lips to her ear. Shivers raced through her as he sucked on her earlobe and then traced his tongue around her ear. “Trust me, love. This is the only way to make the fever go away.” The whispered words and the feel of his hard body pressed against her back sent spasms down her spine and heat blazing through her veins. “When you feel pressure, I want you to push out against it, okay? Can you do that, love?”

  Abby nodded. She’d do anything to stop the flames raging through her body like wildfire. Even with Bryce’s cock buried in her pussy, she could tell it wouldn’t be enough to put out the burning she felt. Fingers probed her crack and spread the liquid around her back entrance. Pressure made her tense up, but she immediately recalled Brad’s instructions and pushed out. One finger pushed through her tight ring and slid inside her, aided by the slick liquid she normally only used with her vibrator.

  Bryce stayed perfectly still under her, but his hands played with her breasts, and he rolled her nipples between his fingers, sending little electrical sensations to her clit. Brad moved his finger in and out. Before long, she was pushing back against Brad’s finger as he worked it inside her.

  More pressure alerted her to a second finger pressing against her, and she pushed out again. Brad worked his fingers inside her, stretching her and giving her time to get used to the feeling. By the time he inserted a third finger, she was pushing back against him with her own rhythm in a desperate attempt to stop the fire raging inside her.

  “Can’t take much more, Brad.” Bryce pushed the strained words out through gritted teeth. Abby looked down at him and saw the strain on his face. He looked like he was barely hanging on to his control.

  Brad slowly removed his fingers, and Abby cried out in protest at the loss of sensation, but Brad immediately pressed his shaft against her. She clenched instinctively at the increased size as a moment of panic sliced through her.

  “Push out, love, like before.” She followed Brad’s instructions and pushed out as the tip of his cock pushed past her tight ring and slid inside. “That’s it, love. God, you’re so hot inside.”

  Brad pushed inside her with agonizing slowness, the fire in her veins building higher and hotter. Finally, his flesh hit hers, and she knew he was completely inside her. The knowledge that she had both of these men inside her shook her for a moment. It was ove
rwhelming and even a little scary. But then her body overpowered her mind and she couldn’t wait any longer. She rocked against Bryce, trying to get relief from the burning need that consumed her. She cried out in frustration, needing release now, but she didn’t know how to do this. Her body was too full from having two cocks buried deep inside her, and she was absorbing too many sensations for her to figure out how to move.

  Bryce held her face between his hands, and she opened her eyes and looked down at him, pleading with him to help her. “Just relax your body and let us do the work. Okay, baby?”

  Abby nodded and took several deep breaths, letting her tense muscles relax as she lay against Bryce. Bryce wrapped his hands around her waist, and Brad gripped her hips. They began a rhythm that Abby couldn’t match or follow, one withdrawing while the other thrust. All she could do was stay suspended between them and let them move inside her.

  The blood boiled through her with every thrust, every withdrawal. She felt totally surrounded by these men as they controlled the speed and force of their joining. Her cat purred and growled in her head as it reveled in the closeness. Brad and Bryce continued their relentless thrusting until she felt herself perched on a ledge, ready to topple over it. Just when she thought she would die from the intensity, Brad reached around her and stroked her clit with his fingers. She plummeted over the edge into a black space peppered with blinding white stars that burst behind her eyelids.

  Bryce roared his release as he came inside her. She felt his cock jerk and the force of it sent her spiraling into another climax. She clenched her ass hard around Bryce’s cock until he also spilled his seed, crying out his own pleasure.

  They rocked and shuddered together, riding their shared orgasms while the pleasure rolled through each of them. Abby felt like they were connected, not just physically, but their minds and souls as well. It was as if she could feel their pleasure, and it flowed to her, combining with hers and then flowing back into them, completing a circuit.

  As they came down from the heights of their ecstasy, Brad rolled them onto their sides and spooned Abby with his body. Bryce snuggled into the front of her and wrapped his arms around her, kissing her gently on the forehead.

  Abby looked at Bryce and then turned her head and grinned sheepishly at Brad. “Wow!”

  Brad chuckled and nuzzled her neck. “Wow, indeed.”

  Abby lay between them and basked in the contentment she felt. Her cat circled several times and then lay down, purring its satisfaction. Brad continued to nuzzle her neck while Bryce drew feathery circles on her side with his finger. Abby was pretty sure if he continued doing that she was going to demand a repeat performance fairly soon.

  Abby gasped. “The fire! It’s gone!” She hadn’t realized it at first, but now that she was aware of it, the absence of the burning was almost breathtaking.

  “That’s the mating fever, love. It’s what happens when a panther finds her true mates. It won’t happen all the time, but it will hit you every now and then.” Brad continued to nuzzle her.

  “Mating fever? Does this mean…” Abby could hardly believe it, much less say it. “I mean, does this mean we’re…”

  “Mated?” Bryce was grinning at her with a silly grin that somehow looked incredibly sexy. “Physically, yes. We’ll have an official mating ceremony back on the island.” He rested his forehead against hers. “But you’re officially ours, Abby.”

  Chapter Seventeen

  Brad brought Abby a cup of coffee and placed a quick kiss on her lips. He resumed helping her and Bryce pack as much as they could fit into the back of the truck with the cousins and brothers. She had finally been properly introduced to them, once everyone was fully clothed, and they were now standing around in her living room drinking coffee and trying to stay awake.

  They had spent almost twenty-four hours at her apartment. The mating fever had flared back up several times, and each time, their lovemaking had subdued it. They had finally decided she could make it to the island without bursting into flames.

  Abby’s head was still spinning after finding out her cousin Kate was mated to the three cousins and was also pregnant. No wonder Kate had been so adamant and evasive when Abby’s mother had tried to convince Kate to go back to Texas to live. At least now Abby felt slightly less gluttonous for only having two men to herself.

  A giggle bubbled up inside of her, and she knew she was wearing a silly grin, but she couldn’t help it. Brad and Bryce looked up from packing, and she was extremely satisfied to see they were wearing the same silly grins.

  Chase flopped down on the couch with a huff. “I can’t believe this! It was bad enough being around these three lovesick idiots.” He waved a hand at Kate’s mates. “But now we have to go and lose the two of you. The island isn’t gonna be fit to live on anymore.”

  Bryce threw a pillow at him, hitting him in the side of the head. “You barely live on it as it is. You’re either partying at South Beach, or you’re out on your boat harassing the fish.”

  Scoffing, Chase threw the pillow back at Bryce, who dodged it easily. “It’s called charter fishing and snorkeling tours, and it’s great business.”

  “I thought cats didn’t like water.” Everyone looked at Abby. “What? Why is everyone looking at me?”

  Jake, one of Kate’s mates, chuckled. “I like her. She’s gonna fit in nicely.”

  Brad grabbed her by the waist, spun her around, and then kissed her firmly on the lips. “Yep. We’re going to keep her.” He winked at her and then zipped up the last duffel bag. “Okay, that’s all we can take. We’ll send someone to pack up the rest of it and have it brought to the island.”

  “I can’t believe I’m leaving.” Abby looked around at the apartment she had expected to be her home for the foreseeable future. That future was gone now, or at least had drastically changed. She briefly wondered what her parents would say when they found out she had moved to a private island with her boss and his twin brother. She shuddered. That was a conversation she was not looking forward to.

  She looked over at Brad and Bryce, who were both watching her warily. “I’m okay. Really. Just not looking forward to telling my parents about all this.”

  She saw Brad and Bryce look over her head, and she turned. Some kind of silent communication seemed to pass between Brad and Bryce and their cousins.

  “What? Am I missing something?” She hated being left out of conversations.

  “We’ll fill you in later. Right now we need to get you to the island.” Brad ushered her to the door, where a wall of very large bodies suddenly surrounded her. The only thing she could see was the ground where she stood.

  “Um, guys, is this really necessary?”

  Bryce pulled her in close and kissed the top of her head. “We’re not taking any chances.”

  Leaving the apartment and descending the stairs was somewhat of a challenge as the big men crowded around her, protecting her with their own bodies. Abby couldn’t help but feel humbled that all of these men were willing to fight to protect her. It was weird, but very chivalrous.

  They finally maneuvered her into the truck without encountering any unwanted company. Bryce got in and pulled her into his lap while Brad moved around to the driver’s side and the other guys piled into the back.

  * * * *

  The drive to the marina was short and uneventful. The streets were relatively empty since it was still a couple of hours until sunrise. The moving wall of men once again surrounded Abby as they left the truck and made their way across the dock, each of them carrying her bags.

  When they stopped, Abby peeked through a small gap between two shoulders. “Wow! That’s a big boat!”

  Cash turned to look at her with a proud grin. “That is the Panther’s Pride. She’s a beauty, isn’t she?”

  Bryce started tossing bags up into the boat. “Yeah, yeah, she’s gorgeous. Let’s go.”

  Cash huffed. “You just don’t appreciate beautiful lines when you see them.”

  Bryce wink
ed at Abby. “Oh, I appreciate beautiful lines plenty.”

  Abby felt her face heat under his gaze, and her sex clenched in arousal. Unbelievable how he could make her feel like that just from looking at her! Bryce shot her a wicked grin, and she had a feeling he knew exactly what he did to her.

  Brad climbed the ladder at the back of the boat and then turned and extended his hand to help Abby up. Even the simple act of gripping his hand sent waves of desire through her. When she got to the top, Brad wrapped his hands around her waist and lifted her into the boat. With her body pressed against his, Brad let her slide slowly to the floor. Her nipples hardened from the friction between their bodies.

  Abby’s breathing sped up as she looked up into Brad’s glowing eyes. “Um, how far to the island?”

  His breathing was as rapid as hers. “Too far.”

  Bryce joined them on the boat and pressed himself against Abby’s back. She leaned into him, and he brought his hands around her and splayed them across her abdomen, while nuzzling his face against her neck.

  “Hey! This isn’t a honeymoon cruise!” Heat flashed across Abby’s face as Cash passed them and made his way up to the wheelhouse.

  Brad grinned at her and pulled her close. “Hmm. Honeymoon cruise. Not a bad idea.”
