Dr. Orgasm (A Holiday Romance Collection Book 2)

by Michelle Love

  For himself … he had no intention of getting involved with anyone. The emptiness within him was something he clung to—it stopped him from feeling. It had been an age since he had been attracted to anyone enough to make a move. His looks meant he could have anyone, and yet he found he wanted no one.

  Yes. He told himself that he wanted no one. There was no woman who could penetrate his walls.

  No one.

  Except that when he dreamed at night, he dreamed of café-au-lait skin and a warm, sweet smile.

  Inca had packed everything she owned and Tyler had helped her load her boxes into his garage. She didn’t want to take all of her stuff to Tommaso’s mansion, despite his protests, but Inca felt she needed to have something rooted back in her old life. It was weird enough to be moving in with Tommaso; he’d cleared space in his closet—or rather, his maid had—and now her clothes were hanging next to his expensive, handmade suits. The fact that she would be sharing his bed, his room, hadn’t even been discussed, just assumed.

  Tyler saw her face as they tidied the garage up. “You okay, Bubba? You can always change your mind, you know. Our offer will remain open.”

  She smiled at him gratefully. “Thank you, Popsicle, but I think this is the right move. I love Tommaso. I really do.”

  Tyler studied his adoptive daughter. “You do?”

  Inca was surprised. “Yes, of course. Why do you ask that?”

  Tyler shook his head. “It’s just … you don’t seem excited about him. When I fell in love with your mother, I was like a horse with ginger up its butt for the first few years.”

  Inca giggled at the image. “Lovely, Pa. I guess it just feels more relaxed than that. More …”

  “Sedate?”

  Inca thought about it. “Yeah. Like it just is, you know?”

  “Each to their own.”

  “That’s what I think.”

  Tyler nodded. “He’ll keep you safe.”

  Inca stopped and then let the fear show in her face. “He will. Pa … I don’t understand what is happening. Why … if someone wants to kill me, why not just do it?”

  Tyler paled, but nodded. Before he’d retired, before all of this, he had been the island’s police chief, privy to investigations and resources that he wished desperately to have access to now. The thought of Inca being a target was agony to him. “I can’t answer you, Bubba. But nothing is going to happen to you. I promise.”

  Later, in the split-level duplex on Hewlett Avenue, Tyler poured himself a finger of scotch and slumped into the armchair. He heard Nancy moving around in the kitchen, the smell of roast chicken and thyme drifting through the house. She poked her head in the room.

  “Hungry?”

  Tyler tried to smile and nodded. “Smells great, Nance.”

  She hesitated for a moment, then walked over and sat down on the arm of his chair. He patted her leg as she kissed the top of his head. The TV flickered quietly in the corner, the familiar scenery of the town invaded by reporters from the city. They watched it in silence. Eventually, Tyler sighed.

  “I’m worried about Inca.”

  He felt Nancy nod. “I know, honey.” The reassurance he expected from her didn’t come, and he felt the knot in his stomach tighten. Nancy’s eyes were concerned. She sat down in the chair opposite him and took his hands.

  “But, honey, she’s an adult. She’s stronger than you think; she really is. She’s come so far and grown so independent. All we can do is support her decisions and hope, whoever this maniac is, that he doesn’t get to her.”

  Tyler studied her face, her dark eyes just starting to crinkle at the edges, her brown hair just starting to show fine strands of grey. Nancy Hama had come into his life at a time when he’d come to terms with being alone. After his initial adoption of Inca had been turned down—I am sorry, Mr. Sardee; the child is damaged, and you are on your own—he’d slumped into despondency.

  Nancy had been one of the nurses at the children’s unit in Seattle where they’d taken Inca after the horror of what had happened with her birth parents. Nancy and Tyler had talked long into the night over Inca’s sleeping form, her tiny body bandaged, the little crease between her brows starting to relax. Nancy was forthright, opinionated, and had the biggest heart of anyone he’d ever known. When Inca had left the hospital, Nancy had gone home with Tyler and never left—heir adoption of Inca successful this time.

  He sighed. “Can you believe she was married and never told us?”

  “No. And believe me, I let her know how dumb that was.” Nancy’s expression was fierce and Tyler smiled, before sighing.

  “I don’t know if I trust Tommaso Winter.”

  Nancy was silent for a moment. “We can’t interfere. It’s up to Inca now. I’m not about to tell her she can’t be with the man she loves. Are you? She knows the risks.”

  He stroked her face and she leaned into his touch. “What would I do without you, pooks?” She smiled, then mock-grimaced.

  “Yuck, schmaltzy. Come eat this chicken before I throw up.”

  Tyler laughed and took the hand she offered.

  Inca and Tommaso ate with Raffaelo that night and Inca was surprised that Raffaelo was making an effort to chat with them. She hadn’t thought he had it in him to make polite conversation. He even smiled at one point, and Inca was surprise how happy it made her to see him laugh. He had the same, devastating smile as his brother, but somehow, because it was a rare sight, it made Inca want to cry. She decided she would try and make friends with the man and, by coincidence, that night Tommaso apologized to her.

  “I have to go to Paris for a meeting,” he told them both, and looked at Inca regretfully. “And normally I would see this as an opportunity to take you with me, but you’ve already told me that you have to work.”

  Inca nodded. “I do, and believe me, I wouldn’t normally turn down a trip to Paris, but I promised Scarlett the time off.”

  “Next time.”

  She smiled at him. “You’re on.”

  Tommaso looked at his brother. “So …”

  Raffaelo smiled. “I will be around. Inca and I can bond over making fun of you.”

  Tommaso and Inca laughed. “Enjoy, brother.”

  Inca looked shyly at Raffaelo. “I have to go into the city on Friday to sign some paperwork for my mortgage application.”

  “I’ll be happy to accompany you; perhaps you can show me around the city. Have dinner too?”

  Tommaso grinned at his brother. “Raff, stop trying to steal my girlfriend.”

  Inca winked at Raff. “It’s working, though. Raffaelo, keep it up.”

  Raffaelo smiled, but looked a little uncomfortable, and Inca regretted the joke. She coughed to cover her embarrassment. “There’s a lot of touristy things we can do in the city—and some great places to eat.”

  Raffaelo nodded. “Sounds good to me.”

  ***

  Later, when they went to bed, Inca asked Tommaso if he minded her spending time with Raffaelo.

  “Of course not … you are family.”

  He was a little distracted, given that he was pulling the straps of her dress down her shoulders and deftly unclasping her bra. His mouth found her exposed breast, his teeth grazing her nipple and sending waves of desire through her. Inca closed her eyes and sighed happily. Tommaso’s hand was under her dress, sliding into her underwear.

  “You are so wet,” he murmured, his lips against her belly. And in one swift motion, he had her on the bed, his cock thrusting into her. Inca gasped at the violence of his movements. She moaned as he fucked her hard, his smile triumphant, his hands pinning hers to the bed.

  “You are mine, now, Inca; you know that?”

  “Yes … God, yes …”

  “Tell me.”

  “I’m yours, Tommaso.”

  He smiled down at her, obviously enjoying the command he had over her body. “Il mio prezioso, do you remember when we talked about what we could try when we were together?”

  Inca, driven
half-crazy by his cock drilling her to the bed, nodded, gasping and panting for air. Tommaso smiled, his eyes drinking in the way her body trembled and quivered under him, her breasts rising and falling with her breath, her belly undulating against his stomach. “God, you are beautiful … well, I took the liberty of purchasing a few items we might have some fun with … Are you willing to try them with me, Principessa?”

  He began to thrust hard, with all his strength, wanting to sink into her entirely, and Inca cried out. His lips were on her throat when he heard her say yes, and he grinned as she came, moaning and crying his name. His own climax followed swiftly and, as he felt his cum shoot deep inside her, he knew he wanted to try anything with this woman.

  When they had recovered, he lifted her from the bed and sat her in a chair before going to the closet and bring out a beautifully carved wooden box. He smiled at her as he set it down.

  “Before we begin … we need to set some ground rules. You need to feel safe.”

  Inca smiled a little nervously. ’Just what do you intend to do to me?”

  He obviously heard the doubt in her voice and took her face in his hands, his green eyes fixed on hers. “Nothing you will not permit. Everything you will allow …”

  He covered her mouth with his, kissing her tenderly until her head swam.

  “Anything,” she whispered to him, “I’ll do anything…”

  Tommaso chuckled, then drew out a long piece of supple brown leather. “You know what this is?”

  She shook her head and he grinned. “Let me show you.”

  Gently, he wound the leather around her body, crisscrossing her breasts and her belly with the buttery soft strip. He bound her hands behind her and stood back to admire his work. Inca felt wildly turned on. She was helpless in front of him, but the way he was looking at her made her feel like the most beautiful woman in the world.

  Tommaso stalked around her, not touching her until he stopped and knelt, pushing her legs apart as far as they would go. He gazed up at her as he pushed further and she moaned a little, her hips burning. Inca felt the pain and the pleasure as he smiled at her before dipping his head and burying his face in her belly, dipping his tongue into the deep hollow of her navel.

  Tommaso teased her clit with his thumb as he began to slide two fingers into her cunt and Inca bucked against her restraints as he found her g-spot. His tongue stabbed at her navel as if fucking it. His teeth grazed the soft mound of her belly; his free hand gripped her thigh, fingers digging painfully into the soft flesh. He drove her into a frenzy, unable to move properly, utterly at his mercy until she came, nearly screaming her ecstasy.

  Tommaso stood, his cock diamond hard, and Inca, panting, told him she wanted to taste him. She took him into her mouth, trailing the tip of her tongue up the long shaft before lashing around the wide, sensitive crest of him. She heard Tommaso groan as she worked on him and she wanted to touch him, but couldn’t. As he neared climax and he made to draw away, she shook her head and instead swallowed him down as he came.

  Tommaso freed one of her hands. “Touch yourself, my darling. I want to watch you …”

  Inca slid her hand into her sex and began to rub, never taking her eyes from him. Tommaso fisted the root of his cock as he watched her. “I want to come on your skin.”

  When he came, he spilled his seed onto her belly and Inca threw her head back and let out a shuddering moan as she reached climax. Tommaso freed her from the binds and pulled her down on top of him. “That was only the beginning, Inca, mio caro.”

  He reached into the wooden casket, and drew out a paddle. Inca’s breath quickened as she saw it and she nodded, yelping as he brought it down on her buttocks. “You like?”

  “God, yes.” Inca didn’t know who she was at that moment, but all she knew was that she wanted this man to do anything to her he wanted. She wriggled impatiently and Tommaso laughed.

  “Bad girl.”

  The paddle slammed into her skin and Inca could feel herself getting wetter and wetter. Tommaso slid his hand into her damp pussy and stroked her as he flipped her onto her back. “Just a teaser tonight … when I get back from Paris, I’m going to punish you hard, mio caro, so hard you’ll beg me to stop.”

  He drove his cock into her then, and they fucked with abandon for the rest of the night.

  The first nightmare came that night.

  She was walking through the mansion, the rooms dark, lit only by the moonlight through the vast windows. Inca padded slowly, dressed only in Tommaso’s expensive white shirt, searching for something. She opened the front door to see a world painted white by snow. She walked out into the deep powder covering the garden, into a maze of lethal-looking icicles.

  He was waiting for her in the center of the maze. He being … who? She couldn’t see his face; it was shrouded by a black hood. All she knew was … she loved him. He took her hand and led her to a mausoleum made of ice, laying her down on a long bed of ice. He raised his weapon above his head.

  Inca smiled as the long shard of glass in his hand was driven into her again and again …

  Inca woke shivering, cold, wet, and terrified. She was outside. How the hell was she outside? She was naked, curled up in the snow of the Winter mansion garden, utterly frozen.

  “Inca!”

  Raffaelo’s voice was shocked, astonished, and scared. She looked up to see him running toward her. She covered her breasts and her sex, humiliated, but Raffaelo tugged his shirt off and wrapped it around her, lifting her out of the snow and carrying her into the house to the kitchen where a fire still burned in the grate.

  Inca felt completely out of it as Raffaelo disappeared. She saw the table next to the chair, along with an open book and a glass of scotch, and realized he had been awake all night. She blinked, hearing voices, then Tommaso and Raffaelo were back, Tommaso looking half-asleep but concerned. Raffaelo, carrying a heavy wool blanket, wrapped it around her, then moved to heat a kettle.

  Tommaso knelt down in front of her. “Mio caro … what were you doing outside?”

  She shook her head, feeling that if she opened her mouth, nothing would come out.

  “I only saw her when I went to have a smoke.” Raffaelo’s voice was soft. “And only then because I thought I saw someone in the woods. I went to look and found her in the snow, completely curled up.

  Inca had started to shiver now as the warmth of the fire got to her. She looked between the brothers. “I’m sorry. I don’t know what happened. I was dreaming. God, no, a nightmare … I must have sleepwalked.”

  “Maybe we should call a doctor.” Tommaso, his green eyes full of worry stroked her face. He picked her up then and sat, cradling her in his arms. Inca leaned against his strong frame.

  “What were you dreaming of?” Raffaelo’s voice sounded even more accented tonight, sexy, she thought, then pushed that thought away. She felt as if her brain were spinning; she could remember pain and love and ice and …

  “Have you ever sleepwalked before?” Tommaso, this time, and she shrugged.

  “I don’t know.”

  His arms tightened around her and his lips pressed against her temple. ’Are you warming up?”

  She nodded, but then, to her surprise, she felt Raffaelo gently take her feet.

  “They are blue, piccolo.” He smiled at her and, to her surprise, lifted them and put them under his arms. He winced a little at the cold. “Our mother taught us this is the best way—human body warmth.”

  “He is right,” Tommaso said.

  Inca leaned into him and felt a rush of love for both of the brothers.

  “You never talk about your mother,” she said softly. “I would have liked to know her.”

  Raffaelo smiled. “She would have liked you, I think. She was soft and sweet, like you.”

  Inca felt Tommaso nod. “I agree. She passed a few months ago. I know we both miss her terribly.”

  “Mama’s boys?”

  They both laughed.

  “Unashamedly,” Raffaelo
said.

  Her feet were getting warmer now, less painful, but he made no move to release them. They must have looked strange, the three of them, but Inca didn’t care—weirdly, this was the closest she had felt to them both.

  Eventually though, Raffaelo let her go and Tommaso led her back to bed as she felt exhaustion take over. She fell into a dreamless sleep then, wrapped in the safety of Tommaso’s arms.

  Raffaelo went to his own room, but this time it was he who was haunted by dreams—dreams of Inca’s body, her full breasts and soft belly, her dusky skin and warm smile. In the dream, he found her in the snow again, but this time she held out her arms to him and he went into them as she wrapped her long legs around his waist, and his cock plunged deep into her hot, sweet cunt …

  In the morning, Raffaelo got up, showered, dressed, and left the house before Tommaso and Inca woke. He honestly did not know what he would do if he saw her.

  “Merda,” he thought as he steered his car towards the city. He really did not want to fall for his brother’s girlfriend. Anything but that.

  Anything …

  Scarlett left Nancy in charge of the Sakura and walked down to the ferry terminal. She’d decided earlier that day just to go, get off the peninsula, go to the city, and have fun. Things at home were too heavy right now; she was worried about Inca and the murders.

  As she walked, she noticed Raffaelo in his car, driving towards the city road. She waved, but he seemed to look straight through her as he drove past. She shrugged and continued on. She liked Tommaso. He was charming; he was fun; and he was obviously crazy about Inca. But his brother was a mystery.

  A sexy, sexy, mystery, Scarlett smirked to herself, and wondered if he was as enchanted with Inca as his brother. She suspected he might be. Her best friend had no idea of the effect she had on men.
