Chasing Felicity [Passion Peak, Colorado 4] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting)

by Tara Rose

  He stared into her eyes, his gaze dark and intense. There was barely enough light from the dim lamp to see the expression in them, but she didn’t want to break the spell by turning on another light. She only wanted to be here, with Kane, for as long as they had together. “Do you mean that?”

  His voice was soft, almost desperate, and her heart gave a strange lurch at the tone in it. He’d led such a lonely life, from the sound of it. If what he’d told her was true, he probably had never had time for any kind of a meaningful relationship. What if this was as good as it got for him? While she couldn’t imagine an existence like the one he had, she also didn’t want to be the cause of any regret on his part. “Yes, I do mean it. I’m very attracted to you, Kane. And you’re a fabulous lover. Make love to me again. Make love to me all night.”

  His eyes clouded over with surprise and pure delight, and Felicity had to rein in not only her hormones but her emotions. She had to be very careful here. Feeling too much for him would only end up with both of them hurt. He’d made it very clear up front that he wasn’t sticking around in Passion Peak. She’d have no one but herself to blame if she let this get out of hand.

  He kissed her again, slow and gentle this time. His lips and tongue moved hers in a teasing dance, but her arousal spiraled out of control just the same as it had when he’d kissed her roughly and deeply downstairs. She couldn’t even think right now. She didn’t want to. All she wanted to do was draw his body into hers and never let it go.

  His hands roamed almost lazily over her back and ass cheeks then back up again. When he released her mouth, he kissed her neck, and then asked if she had any lube. She grinned. “Why?”

  He gave her a look of trepidation. “Why do you think? Unless of course you’d rather not have any back door action. I don’t even know if you like it. I should have asked first, not made an assumption.”

  “I haven’t done that in a long while, but I’d love to try again.” She moved out of his arms and opened the bottom drawer of her nightstand, pulling out a bottle she kept next to her vibrator. She’d just bought it last week, so there was plenty of it and she knew it was still fresh. She placed it on the nightstand and motioned him over with one finger.

  Grinning in a way that sent a fresh flood of wetness to her pussy, he sauntered over and pushed against her shoulders. She fell onto the bed, laughing, and he covered her body with his, nuzzling her neck. “You are the sexiest woman I have ever met.”

  “Kane…”

  “It’s okay. Don’t feel as if you have to say anything back, Felicity. Just let me enjoy you.”

  She caught his face in her hands. “You are an incredibly sexy man. I mean that. It’s not just a line, and I don’t feel as if I have to say anything. I want to. I’m…I’m overwhelmed by you. You’re fun, and kind, and I didn’t expect that. I didn’t expect to feel this way about you, Kane.”

  He brushed a finger along her face, his gaze deep and almost sad. Her heart did that weird fluttering thing again, and she kissed him to break the spell because it frightened her. She didn’t want to feel this much for him. She didn’t want to care like this. But Felicity had never been like her sisters.

  Both of them talked freely about having lovers simply for the sake of having them, not necessarily because they cared about the men. But making love had never been like that for Felicity, and she knew she couldn’t take such a nonchalant attitude toward Kane. She knew that she would walk away from this with strong feelings for him, and that she’d have to deal with that when the time came.

  He gently turned her onto her stomach and began to kiss her neck, her back, and all the way down to her ass cheeks. He gently parted them and licked the opening to her anus. “I’d love to spank you one day, too, Felicity, but not right now. Maverick has marked you as his, and I won’t put my mark there on top of it. But maybe one day I can ask him if I may do that as well.”

  His words made her feel special and cherished, as if she belonged to both men, and they were willing to share her among them. Images of making love to both of them at the same time danced through her head. Would she ever have the chance to do that? Had he meant that he’d be willing to do that by what he’d just said? She wanted to ask him, but she didn’t want him to stop what he was doing right now.

  “Tell me something.” He massaged her ass cheeks, sending waves of fresh desire through her body. “From what you said before about not having done that in a while, it sounds like you and Maverick haven’t had anal sex yet. Have you?”

  “No,” she whispered.

  He brushed a finger along her ass crack, sending shivers up and down her spine. “Then I’m honored that you’ll allow me to pleasure you in that way. It’s so intimate.”

  “Yes, it is.”

  “If I hurt you, please tell me.”

  “I will, Kane.”

  That he was taking such care not only surprised her, but it touched her soul in the same way Maverick’s giving her safewords had done. Both men were tender and caring, but so different in the ways they approached everything in their lives. How had she lucked out to have them both in her bed and in her life, if only temporarily?

  She heard the liquid noise that the lube made as he squirted some out, and then a warm, wet finger was gently inserted into her anus. At the same time, he reached underneath with his other hand and caressed her pussy and clit, sending shock waves of pleasure throughout her body. When his finger was all the way in, he moved it in and out as if it were his cock, and Felicity just melted under his touch.

  She experienced the same sensation as when Maverick had paddled and flogged her, as if she were floating above the scene. It didn’t hurt, but when he withdrew his finger and put two inside, it did sting for just a second. She relaxed her muscles and concentrated on the exquisite pleasure his other hand was giving her, and soon the burning subsided, replaced by a peaceful feeling of fullness. A third orgasm was actually starting to build. It was almost unbelievable. He pulled his fingers out again, and then she felt him move off the bed and opened her eyes.

  “Since we don’t have condoms, I’m just going to wet a washcloth. I’ll be right back.”

  “Oh…yeah…um…are you all right with that? Not using them, I mean.”

  He winked at her. “I’ll survive this one time.”

  When he returned he kissed her tenderly, and then she watched him cover his impressive cock in lube. He looked as ready to explode as she was. He moved behind her and between her legs again, and then he began to tease both her asshole and clit with his hands. She moaned and writhed against his touch, and then she felt him probe her anus with his dick.

  “Just relax, baby girl. I promise I won’t hurt you.”

  Felicity let out a heavy sigh. She loved being called ‘baby girl’ in that drop-dead-sexy voice of his. He slid his cock into her asshole with great care, and after the initial burning sensation subsided, the most profound peaceful feeling settled over her brain once again, as though all the cares in the world had vanished for these few precious moments. She didn’t have to think. All she had to was feel, and let these erotic sensations claim her, the way his mouth had done earlier.

  His thrusting was slow at first, almost hesitant, and then it grew quicker as well as more forceful. When his other hand increased its pressure on her clit, she cried out as the climax washed over her. He came inside her, and then his own cries of pleasure joined hers.

  When he finished, he lay on top of her for a few minutes, tenderly kissing her neck and stroking her hair. She almost drifted off to sleep, but then stirred when she felt him move off her and begin to wash her. She hadn’t expected that and had to blink back tears. He left the room and she heard water running in the bathroom. She’d assumed the wash cloth was for him, not her, and was touched once again by his concern for her needs.

  He was smiling when he came back into her room. Felicity rolled onto her side and held out her arms. He joined her on the bed and held her closely, kissing her neck again. “May I stay t
onight, Felicity? Even if all we do is hold each other?”

  She let out a soft moan and nuzzled his neck. “Just try and leave.”

  Chapter Nineteen

  Felicity scooped scrambled eggs onto two plates next to the bacon, and then covered the plates and stacked them both next to the toast rack on the wicker tray she carried up to her room. She hoped that Kane liked eggs, toast, and bacon for breakfast. She’d already brought up coffee, and when she placed the tray down on a small table she’d pulled next to her bed, he finally began to stir.

  She ruffled his hair. “Wake up, sleepyhead, unless you don’t mind eating cold food.”

  “Food?” He sat up, blinking a few times, and then his gaze fell on the coffee pot and plates that Felicity uncovered. “Wow. You made me breakfast?”

  “Of course. We should both be starving after last night.”

  His grin sent a fresh wave of desire straight to her pussy. It was still sore, as were her asshole and nipples, but she still wanted him. If she wasn’t so weak from hunger right now, she’d say the hell with the food and just fuck him silly again.

  He took a bite of toast. “Complaining?”

  “No. And I certainly hope you aren’t.

  “Not even close. Felicity, thank you for this. All of it. Last night, and this feast.” He shoved a forkful of eggs into his mouth. “Oh wow. These are better than Doli’s.”

  Felicity laughed. “Well, don’t tell her that. Her eggs are famous in this town. I don’t think she’d recover.”

  “Your secret is safe with me.”

  After they ate, Kane put on his clothes and took the tray down to the kitchen with Felicity. He asked if she wanted him to leave so that she could get ready for work. “I know you said you had to be there early today. Eleven, right?”

  She sighed. “I wish I didn’t have to go. I hate working the lunch crowd during the week because it’s more like a short-order menu, and they’re always in a huge rush. But since I’m off on Thursdays, I work this one lunch shift on Wednesdays so I can have an entire evening and the next day off together each week.”

  He pulled her into a tight embrace. “But that means you’re off earlier today, right?”

  “At six.”

  “Fabulous. Then we can spend the evening together.”

  Felicity couldn’t remember whether she’d told him that she’d already made plans to spend the next day with Maverick. Would Maverick expect to spend tonight with her? She assumed he hadn’t called or texted last night because she didn’t remember hearing her phone, but then, she hadn’t really expected him to. Still, she wished she knew what his expectations were.

  “Or not…” Kane sounded unsure, and she realized he must interpret the struggle on her face right now as being related to his suggesting they spend the evening together.

  “Oh, that’s not what I was thinking about. Maverick and I are going hiking together tomorrow, and I wasn’t sure if he assumed…” She stopped, letting her voice trail off. How would it sound if she said what was on her mind? She knew how it would sound to her ears. Like the person speaking was waiting to see if a better deal came along before committing to anything “Kane, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it that way.”

  “Don’t be silly. Everything is fine.” The tone of his voice and the way he suddenly turned away from her didn’t match his words.

  She placed a hand on his arm. “Please don’t leave it like this. I’m so confused right now. I don’t know what to do. I like you both so much, and I want to be with both of you. But that’s not really possible, is it?”

  He gave her a curious look that she couldn’t interpret, but he wasn’t angry. That much she could tell. “No. I don’t think it is. But you did give me last night, and that’s all I asked you for.”

  “Will you take me to work?” She didn’t want him to leave with things unsettled between them. She couldn’t handle that.

  “Are you sure?”

  She nodded. “Yes. Very sure.”

  “I would love to. But I’m going to run back to my motel room and take a shower there, because if I get in yours with you this morning, you’re not going to work today.”

  A shiver ran up and down her spine at the look of pure lust in his eyes. She opened her mouth but nothing came out. He pulled her close again and kissed her, and by the time he released her mouth, she was dizzy and breathless.

  “I’ll be back at ten-thirty to drive you to work.”

  Felicity stood in her kitchen a long time after he left, wondering how the hell she’d landed in this mess, and what she was going to do about it. One quick glance at the clock told her that she’d better hurry up or she’d be late for work. She put the dishes in the dishwasher and ran upstairs to take a shower and get dressed.

  Afterward, as she was putting everything into her bag she looked around for her phone, but couldn’t find it. It should have been on her nightstand, where she placed it every night. Hadn’t she brought it upstairs last night? As her mind raced back to the thunderstorm last evening, during which she and Kane had fucked like rabbits on the sofa before coming upstairs, she finally remembered that she’d never brought the phone with her. Maverick might have called or texted after all, and the reason she’d never heard the phone was because it was still in her living room.

  She went downstairs and retrieved her phone. Her heart sank as she realized she’d missed one call and several text messages from Maverick. “I have so fucked this up,” she whispered, scrolling through the texts. A knock on her front door sent her scurrying to it, and when she opened it, assuming it would be Kane, both he and Maverick stood on her front porch.

  “Looks like we both had the same idea,” said Kane, but his face didn’t mirror the carefree way he’d spoken.

  Maverick glanced at the phone in her hand. “I’m assuming you didn’t check it last night.” It wasn’t a question. Somehow, he knew she was checking her messages for the first time since last night.

  She stepped aside and opened the door. “Why don’t you both come inside? My neighbors will eat this up if we talk on the porch.”

  She thought at first neither man was going to come in, but finally they did, and she closed the door behind them. “Maverick, I’m sorry, I forgot to bring my phone upstairs last night, and I just realized that now.” There was no point in pretending for him that Kane hadn’t spent the night, or that she’d been too distracted to think about her phone.

  “You don’t have to apologize. I shouldn’t have assumed I was taking you to work today.”

  “I don’t know what to say right now. I’m very confused. I don’t want you guys upset with me, and I don’t want you upset with each other.”

  “You’re asking a lot,” said Maverick, quietly.

  If his words had been anything less than gentle, Felicity would have burst into tears. She was barely holding them back as it was. “I know. But I don’t know what else to say right now.”

  Kane glanced sideways at Maverick. “Sounds like maybe we all need to sit down and talk this out.”

  Maverick turned to face him, and Felicity swallowed hard at the look of controlled anger on his face. “She has to go to work. Some of us do that every day.”

  “You don’t know anything about what I do all day.”

  “I know you don’t work.”

  “Maverick, I know you’re upset right now, but trust me when I say that you really don’t know shit about my life.”

  “I know you just swooped into town less than two weeks ago, and that you supposedly came here to out Trace Coleman, but it looks like you’ve changed your plans.” Maverick’s voice was full of bitterness, and when he cut his gaze to Felicity, she wanted to bolt. She couldn’t do this. What part of her brain had even dared to believe this could work?

  “I didn’t hand Felicity any bullshit or feed her a line. Ask her yourself.” Kane’s hands curled into fists, and his eyes were as dark as sapphires right now. If they got into a physical fight, she’d lose it. She couldn’t let that happe
n.

  Felicity stepped between them, unable to hold back the tears now. “Stop it. Just stop this, both of you.”

  Maverick glanced at her almost as if he’d forgotten she was there. “He needs to hear this, Felicity.”

  “Then tell me what you need to say, Maverick. I’m right here.”

  “You two are not going to do this.” She swiped at the tears running down her cheek, which neither of them seemed to have noticed.

  “All we’re going to do is talk.” Kane’s voice was dark and dangerous.

  “Then do it. Lock the door when you’re done, and try not to break anything. I’ll drive myself to work.” If she tried to get there on time by foot now, she’d be late.

  She brushed past them, and both men tried to stop her, but she shook off their grasps and sprinted down her front steps. She heard them both behind her, but she was faster. She was in her car and backing out of her driveway before they could do anything about it. As she glanced in her rearview mirror, she saw them both standing on her front lawn, watching her drive away.

  Every frustration she felt at caring for both men came spilling out as she made the short drive toward Sandcherry Road. What the hell had she been thinking last night? It didn’t matter that Maverick had told her it was her decision whether or not she had sex with Kane. Clearly, he hadn’t wanted her to actually do it. And, no matter what each man had hinted at when the subject of having sex with both of them at the same time had come up, she knew they’d kill each other before either of them would agree to it.

  Kane would be gone one day. Maybe sooner now, after this morning. And then did she expect Maverick to just brush all this off and act like it hadn’t happened? She’d lost both of them, all because she’d given in to her raging hormones in a moment of weakness. She’d let a stranger charm his way into her pants, and in the process had driven away Maverick.

  Felicity sat in the parking lot, as far away from everyone else as she could get, and scrolled through the text messages from last night. She had to dig in her glove box and find a tissue to wipe her eyes first just to read them.
