“Don’t you dare blame me, Kadan Sinclair.” Sapphira hugged Kadan tight. “Next time you need some carpentry work done, I’m doing the hiring.”
Kadan kissed her forehead and then drew back to see her face and winked at her. “You got it, legs.”
Kai shoved Kadan’s shoulder and then lifted Sapphira into his arms and stood up. He carried her out of the hallway where Noah, Zach, and Tom were dealing with Billy and he sat down with her at her desk.
“I love you, sweetie. Please don’t put me through anything like that ever again.”
Sapphira burst out crying and clung to Kai. Her body shook and her sobs were loud and undisciplined, but Ryan was glad she wasn’t holding in her emotions. She’d been to hell and back in the last thirty minutes and needed to purge the adrenaline that had been going through her body. Her tears finally stopped and she took a deep, shuddering breath.
“Sorry.”
“Don’t be, sweetie. If I was you I’d be crying, too.” Kai kissed her neck and gave her a light squeeze.
“I love you, too, Kai.”
The smile that crossed Kai’s face was bright enough to light up the whole of Australia with its glow. Ryan had never seen such happiness or love on his brother’s face ever. Sapphira looked over to Kael and then to Kadan. “I love you, Kael. I love you, Kadan.”
Kael and Kadan squatted down on either side of the chair. Kael stroked a finger down her cheek. “I love you, too, baby. More than you’ll ever know.” Kael’s smile was gentle and loving. Ryan had never believed he would see such a soft look on his hard-arse dominant brother’s face. Sapphira had healed him, had healed all of them, and they were going to have the rest of their lives to show her how much they loved her, how much she meant to them. At least he hoped they would.
Kadan grasped her chin between his thumb and finger and stared deeply into her eyes. “I love you, too, legs,” he said before kissing her long and deep. By the time Kadan lifted his head they were both breathing heavily.
Sapphira glanced around the room until she met his eyes. Ryan had been waiting for her and held his arms out wide when she walked toward him. She was only two steps away when she froze and stared at his arm, then her eyes rolled back in her head and she began to fall to the floor. Ryan caught her and swept her up into his arms. This time he knew her passing out had nothing to do with her cataplexy or narcolepsy. The sight of the blood on his shirtsleeve had caused her to faint.
Kael hurried over and took her from him and headed out the office door. Kadan looked back to the three policemen. “You can come to the house for our woman’s statement when you’ve finished up here. We need to get Sapphira calmed down and Ryan can see to his flesh wound.”
Ryan took the lead and followed his brothers out the door. His arm was hurting like a bitch but he wasn’t about to let on to his older brother know just how much pain he was in, but he should have known that nothing would get by them. Kai didn’t bother to say anything. He just held out his hand for Ryan’s car keys and he handed them over without a word. By the time they got back home, he was sweating and Sapphira was still out cold.
Kadan had carried her inside and placed her on the couch. Kai brought his bag in and, with his help, Ryan removed his shirt. The wound was deep but small, thank God, and didn’t need any stitches. He cleaned it up and then put some antibiotic ointment on the injury and covered it with a waterproof patch then gave himself a tetanus shot and another of antibiotics. He’d just finished and put on a clean shirt when Sapphira started to come around.
She fussed over him but when he assured her that he was fine she snuggled up with him on the couch. The police officers came, took their statements, and then left again after explaining there wouldn’t be a hearing since it was clearly an open and closed case of self-defense and also because they’d been there and seen the whole thing.
“Sapphira, how did you control your narcolepsy and cataplexy when that fucker held a gun on you?” Ryan asked.
“I kept hearing Kael’s voice in my head to breathe in and out evenly and I was able to hold my panic at bay.”
“You’re amazing, baby.”
Sapphira smiled at all of them. “I couldn’t have done it without you all. Ryan was so calm and cool, I just knew that he, that all of you, would get to me before he could hurt me. Thank you all so much. You saved my life.”
“You helped save yourself, legs. You didn’t let your emotions take over.”
“Well I did eventually. I knew Ryan wanted me out of the way so I let the fear out and my muscles went all loose and I couldn’t hold myself up anymore. I think the stress made the narcolepsy take over.”
“And when you saw the blood on Ryan’s arm?” Kai asked.
“Um.” She bit her lip and gave him a sheepish smile. “I passed out. I was scared that Ryan was hurt bad and couldn’t stand the sight of his blood.”
Ryan sat down next to her on the sofa and cuddled up to her. He breathed in her light floral scent and just relished having her in his arms. He hoped he never had to go through something like that again. He’d never been so scared in his life and not because his life had been in danger. Ryan had been scared for Sapphira. They’d only just found her and he wanted to have many happy years by her side with his brothers. He wanted to see her belly round with their child. Wanted to spend each day loving her and making memories.
The rest of the night, he and his brothers took turns cuddling with her between them. When she fell asleep in Kael’s arms, he carried her into her bedroom and with his, Kadan’s, and Kai’s help, they removed her clothes and tucked her in. Kadan and Kael stripped off and got into bed beside her and with a last longing look at her, Ryan and Kai went to their own beds.
Hours later, he was aware of Sapphira climbing into his bed and snuggling up next to him. He pulled her naked body up against his body and drifted back to sleep. When he woke up, Sapphira was gone. After pulling on his clothes he checked her room but she wasn’t there. Kael and Kadan were still fast asleep and he guessed his brothers would likely sleep a little longer after such a tumultuous previous day. Ryan frowned when he found the kitchen and living room empty and continued to search for their woman. He pushed open the door to Kai’s room and smiled when he found her lying half on top of Kai, sound asleep.
Kai smiled at him and continued stroking Sapphira’s hair, head, and back, but his brother didn’t say anything in case he woke her up. Ryan headed back to the kitchen to put the coffee on.
His older brothers stumbled out half an hour later.
“Where’s Sapph?” Kael had started to turn away before he started to speak.
“She’s safe. She’s with Kai.”
Kael sagged with relief and even Kadan looked relieved.
“She’s so damn special and has such a big heart.” Ryan cleared his throat and gulped back the emotion clogging his throat. “She came into my bed in the middle of the night and cuddled with me for a few hours, and then she sought out Kai.”
“God, I love that woman,” Kael declared in a voice hoarse with emotion.
“We all do, bro.” Kadan smiled. “I want her to marry us.”
“Yeah.” Kael sighed. “But how the hell do we do that? I can’t pull rank just because I’m the oldest and it’s the norm for the polyandrous relationships in this town.”
“If she accepts to having a permanent relationship with us, I think she should marry Ryan. He was the one to see her first and she has a special connection with him.”
Ryan was humbled by Kadan’s suggestion but wasn’t sure that he should be the one to have a connection to Sapphira on paper. It didn’t matter to him who she married as long as she considered herself a wife to all of them he would be satisfied.
Kai wandered into the kitchen, grabbed two cups of coffee, and turned back toward the door.
Ryan caught sight of Sapphira just as Kai did. She was magnificent with her legs slightly apart and her hands on her hips and she looked madder than a rogue bull. Her cheeks were flu
shed and she was breathing hard.
Sapphira Dixon was so damn sexy and she loved each of them. He just hoped she would agree to be theirs.
Chapter Twelve
“Have you all finished making plans for me?” Sapphira lowered her hands and walked into the room. Four pairs of eyes watched her progress and the expressions on her men’s faces were stoic. It was hard keeping the happiness from her face and the way her body was responding to such sexy men hidden. Her breasts felt heavy and swollen and her nipples were harder than an icicle. Cream was leaking from her pussy and her panties were drenched.
“Baby…” Kael began only to stop when she held her hand up.
“Let me have my juice first. I need to kick-start my brain.” Sapphira felt a little bad when she saw the disappointment on their faces but she really did need to gather her thoughts before they got into too much of an in-depth conversation.
The men watched her often as they set about preparing breakfast. When Kai and Ryan set the table and Kael and Kadan brought over the food, they loaded their plates. Kai jumped to his feet and poured her another glass of juice after she’d finished the first one and she ate a little of the scrambled eggs and piece of toast. None of them said a word until they were done eating breakfast.
Sapphira decided to put her men out of their misery.
“I love you all so much and if I could, I wouldn’t hesitate to marry each and every one of you, but since it’s illegal to do that, I can’t. You all complete me in different ways. Ryan, you are such a gentle, caring, nurturing man.
“Kai, even though you joke around to hide your emotions from most people, you have so much depth and such a big heart.
“Kadan, you are bossy, arrogant, and domineering, but you when you love, you love completely.
“Kael, you are a real pain in my arse. You are demanding, dominant, bossy and can be conceited, but I wouldn’t change one thing about any of you. I love you all just the way you are.” Sapphira paused to take a breath and tears filled her eyes. “I have spent the last four years of my life alone and lonely and am so glad I decided to move. And in a way, I’m also glad of the narcolepsy. If I hadn’t fallen asleep, I would never have met any of you.
“If and when you four decide who I am going to marry, let me know. My answer will be yes, but I can’t choose between you. Please, just know this. I don’t need a piece of paper to know that you’ll be mine or that I’ll be yours. As far as I’m concerned, you’re already my husbands, and if you’re all happy with the way things are, then so am I.” Sapphira took her plate to the kitchen and then went to shower.
Her men needed time alone to decide what they wanted. Sapphira was happy and in love. As long as she was with her men, she didn’t care what they decided.
They were waiting for her when she came out of the bathroom. Her cheeks heated when four sets of eyes perused the length of her body from the top of her head to the tips of her toes and back again. Even though she was wrapped in a towel, she felt prickles forming on her skin everywhere their eyes touched her.
Kael got up from his seat on the side of her bed and came to a stop mere inches from her. She looked up and locked gazes with him and the heat and hunger in his eyes singed her body. Goose bumps formed over her skin and she took a deep breath as she tried to control her rising libido. He leaned down and covered her mouth with his. The kiss didn’t start out slow. It was long, deep, and carnal. When he finally lifted his head, she became aware that Kadan, Kai, and Ryan were standing next to him. Kael nodded his head and then to her joy, all four of her men went down on bended knee.
Ryan and Kai each took a hand in theirs and Kadan rubbed up and down her thigh beneath the towel.
“Sapphira Dixon, I love you and would be honored to make you my wife.” Kael reached into his shirt pocket and plucked a small jewelers box out with his fingers. He opened the box and handed it to Kadan. Sitting on a white bed of fabric was the most beautiful ring she’d ever seen. The band was white gold and embedded in it were lots of baguette diamonds and what looked to be a two-carat diamond was nestled into the center on top.
“We’ve decided to continue with the town’s tradition and that you should marry Kael.” Kadan plucked the ring from the box and then handed it to Kai.
“But in our hearts you will be a wife to all of us.” Kai handed the ring to Ryan.
All four of her men took hold of her left arm and hand and Ryan slid the ring onto her finger. “We love you, honey. Please marry us?”
The tears she’d been holding at bay spilled over and trailed down her cheeks. Her heart was so full of emotion, the lump in her throat was making it difficult to speak, but after clearing her throat she knelt down and touched them each in some way. She stroked Ryan’s cheek with her palm, patted Kai’s chest just over his heart, glided a hand down Kadan’s arm, and then she took Kael’s hand in her own.
“I love you all more than I ever thought it was possible to love. You’ve brought happiness, joy, and love into my life and I would be honored to marry you all.”
Kael growled with happiness and desire and then he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her into his body. He kissed her deeply, flaming the embers of desire higher. Sapphira felt the towel slip, but she didn’t care. Right now she wanted all her men naked, their skin and bodies touching hers. Kael lifted her into his arms, all the while kissing her. The towel was pulled away from her body and then she was being lowered to the mattress.
He broke the kiss and she opened her eyes to see that Ryan, Kadan, and Kai had taken the time to remove their clothes. Her eyes wandered over their delectable bodies and their hard jutting cocks and her body responded immediately. Her vagina clenched, forcing cream out to coat her pussy. Her nipples hardened and her breasts began to ache.
Kai waggled his eyebrows at her right before he dove on the bed, spreading her thighs with his hands, he then licked her from clit to arse and back again. She moaned but moved her eyes to watch as Kael undressed. Her heart stuttered in her chest and her breath hitched when she saw the love he felt for her shining from his eyes. When he was naked, she looked her fill until Ryan climbed onto the bed behind her and cradled her body against his. He tilted her head back and started kissing her. His kiss was so gentle and full of love, but it was also passionate and the fire burning inside her grew hotter.
Kael and Kadan got onto the bed on either side of her, cupped her breasts in one of their hands, and then sucked her nipples into their mouths. With the four of them touching her, loving her, she felt like a sex goddess.
Kai ran his fingers through her folds and laved his tongue over her clit. She whimpered with pleasure when he pushed a long, thick finger up inside her and then he began to pump it in and out of her body. The tension inside began to build as the friction he created sent zings of pleasure deep into her womb.
Ryan slowed the kiss, lifted his head, and then she rested her head back against his shoulder. His hands never stopped moving over her. He stroked down her neck, shoulders, and arms and then he worked his way back up again.
The coil building inside her grew tighter and tighter until she wasn’t sure she could hold off anymore. And then Kai sucked her clit into his mouth and suckled on it gently but firmly. Sapphira cried out as rapture washed over her. Her body shook and quivered as her four men continued to pleasure her until the last aftershock waned.
Kai sat up, wiped his chin and mouth, and gave her a sexy smile. “I love making you come, sweetie. Your honey is so sweet.” Kai climbed from the bottom of the bed and then Kadan moved to take his place.
“We are gonna make you feel so good, legs.” Kadan shoved Kael out of the way and then he lifted her up into his arms. His breath caressed her ear when he whispered into her ear. “Wrap those gorgeous long legs around my waist, baby.”
Sapphira clung to his neck and then wrapped her legs around his waist, locking her ankles together, with her heels resting against his delectably muscular arse. “Good girl,” Kadan said and then reached b
etween them and aligned his cock to her entrance.
He entered her in one long, slow thrust and his groan joined hers. “So fucking wet, hot, and tight. You feel like heaven, legs.”
“You, too,” Sapphira managed to pant, and then she looked back over her shoulder when another set of hands began stroking her back. Ryan kissed her shoulder and then her lips.
“I’m going to fuck your arse, honey. Try and stay nice and relaxed for me.” Ryan touched cool, wet fingers to her pucker and her breath caught in her throat. She’d never imagined that having her anus touched or fucked would be pleasurable, but since she had had her arse filled once before, she yearned for it again.
Ryan took his time with her, making sure she had plenty of lube each time he added another finger to her anus. When he had three inside her, stretching out her muscles, she didn’t know how much more she could stand. She wanted him inside her. Wanted both him and Kadan loving her together. Obviously Kadan had had enough waiting, too.
“Hurry the fuck up, Ryan. She’s clenching on me and gonna make me blow.” Kadan shifted his hands from her buttocks to underneath her thighs and then Ryan gripped her bum cheeks. She moaned when the head of his lubed-condom-covered cock began to push against her rosette.
“Yes, honey, good girl,” Ryan panted as the head of his cock breached her arse. “Push out for me.”
Sapphira did as he said and then all three of them were moaning as Ryan’s hard cock pushed up inside her rectum until his pelvis met her skin.
“I’m in.”
“’Bout fucking time,” Kadan rasped. “Together.”
“Hold on tight, honey. We’re gonna give you one hell of a ride.”
That was the only warning Sapphira got. The next moment Kadan and Ryan withdrew their cocks from her holes and then surged back in together. She was full one moment and nearly empty the next. They started off slowly, but with each snap of their hips they increased the pace incrementally, until their bodies made slapping sounds as they met hers. The pressure built quickly. Cream leaked from her pussy as her muscles rippled. And then she was on the edge of the universe. Stars formed behind her closed eyelids and the tension snapped.
