Briony (Naughty Witches Book 2)

by Erin R Flynn

  “Yeah, that was just our starting offer,” Theo agreed, pumping his dick in and out of me.

  Again, I wasn’t hard to convince. They screwed me senseless again, and I was like a limp rag when they were done.

  “There are two things I want if I say yes now,” I warned them.

  “That’s fair,” Theo sighed. They gently pulled out of me and set me on my feet, smirking as I wobbled a bit like they’d sexed me up good.

  Well, they had, so clearly they deserved the smirk.

  “First, we have a few hours before anyone is supposed to be here, and I want us to go soak in my killer tub you both dream of spending time in with me.”

  Levi raised an eyebrow at me. “What’s your second demand? We get to fuck you again?”

  I snorted as I strolled to the door, letting them see what was dripping out of me, and they liked the look of it, from the way they both groaned deeply. They hurried after me, and they made sure to stay behind me to watch me walk up the stairs. I waited until we were in my bathroom to answer.

  “You allow me to get you new wardrobes. I know you’ve not touched the money you had for fear of being tracked, but you each picked up one set of work clothes. Enough, really. I feel like a jerk that you’re always doing laundry and trying to handle that. You do more than enough work that wasn’t even in the contract to deserve it, and especially since you won’t even let me pay you this time.”

  They both frowned, Theo answering. “Briony, we’ll just use—”

  I got miffed and used my magic on them for the first time. The next noise that came out of Theo’s mouth was a bark. They shared a shocked look, and then Levi barked as well.

  I chuckled as I plugged the tub and started the water, sitting on the lip as they kept barking like stubborn fools. Finally, they stopped and stood there frowning with their hands on their hips, like they wanted to spank me.

  Well, again.

  “Who is boss here?” I demanded, giving them both hard looks. “You changed a bunch of things in the contract, and I’ve not balked at one. Fuck, I blew you both, it was so nice. So when I’m nice, you don’t accept it?” I felt better when they lost some of their annoyance. “It seemed in line with you plotting to dress me, right? Here I was thinking of adding an extra rewards plan and—”

  They both started barking and then growled. Theo sighed and knelt down, leaning over and kissing my feet. Levi followed suit, both giving me hopeful eyes I’d take the spell off.

  So I did.

  “Sorry, Briony,” Theo whispered when he could talk again.

  “Yeah, sorry,” Levi echoed, both of them moving closer and hugging me. “You give us so much, baby, it’s hard not to feel like we’re taking advantage of you. You’re right that we should accept when you’re sweet when we want you to do the same.”

  “Good boys,” I praised. “Sit.”

  “Brat,” Theo growled, dumping me into the tub.

  It was still totally worth it.

  “So, what extra rewards program?” Levi asked as he got in with me, his hands immediately finding my tits as he kissed me.

  The man was a tit man for sure, whereas Theo seemed to always go for my ass. Sure enough, he got in, and his hands were on my ass as I was sandwiched between them.

  “How are we going to get clean like this?”

  “Fuck it,” they said together, making me laugh again.

  Fine, I could tease them too. I nibbled on Levi’s lower lip, which he loved. “Like if you take an extra solo summoning like our cake lover, then you get another dress up something, like I wear a naughty schoolgirl outfit for dinner and sit on your lap. Or if you negotiate something extra like Theo did that I didn’t think of, I’ll wear a toy you have the remote for.”

  “Shit, yes, yes, and yes,” Theo moaned but Levi didn’t answer.

  “I don’t want that in the contract,” he said after a moment. “I want that just as extra for us without terms, and it be on trust.”

  Now it was my turn to be quiet for a bit. “Okay. Okay, I’ll try.”

  “Thank you, baby,” he whispered against my lips. “Fuck, buy us all the clothes you want. I just want you to trust us and really let us in.”

  “I’m trying,” I promised. “Just be patient with me. I suggested six months, after all.”

  “Yeah, and no take backs on that,” Theo grumbled.

  I burst out laughing. Yeah, no take backs.

  David Larson’s trial was right before Christmas, and I was a nervous wreck. Briony kept telling me to relax and it was a slam dunk after the four goons were cut deals and confessed.

  And a shit ton of corruption was uncovered about the mayor, which she kept smirking about, like she knew how it had happened but wouldn’t tell us. I got the feeling it wasn’t that she didn’t trust us, but she didn’t want us complicit.

  Silly woman; we would have done it ourselves if we could have figured out how.

  I wore a suit for the first time ever to testify. It was nicer than my Army dress uniform, but it still felt like I was trying too hard to be anyone but me. I answered all the questions with clear and concise answers just like we were prepped, feeling nauseous the whole time.

  Levi did the same, and I thought we did pretty good until Briony went. She was magnificent. She made Larson’s attorney look as dumb as rocks, not to mention sexist, a liar, and a criminal, all while still being the most beautiful person there.

  She managed to get the lies Larson had been telling on the record, as the local news was all over this case and wider because of Larson’s reach.

  She also made it clear that others should look into his past deals; given how easily the man had defaulted to threats and coercion, she doubted she was the only one. Larson looked like he was ready to strangle her, but there she sat with an amused twinkle in her eyes.

  And she excelled at twisting people up.

  “You expect us to believe everything you’ve said when we know the two men who ‘saved you’ that night are staying with you?” the lawyer grilled her.

  She threw back her head and laughed.

  “Have you seen them? Um, yes, I think most women would gladly welcome them home, and oh, they saved my life. Hello, hot heroes. They’ve been busting their butts around my farm to help me rebuild all your client burnt to the ground, and they do it for room and board. They can stay as long as they like. They don’t even track mud in the house. Yeah, keepers.”

  I’m pretty sure we were both blushing as most every woman in the courtroom looked at us.

  “Ms. Rose, you can’t think that’s an acceptable answer.”

  She snorted. “Do you really need to see them shirtless?” She gave a happy sigh. “They work shirtless in my greenhouse and nursery. All the time.”

  I covered my face and tried not to melt, Levi sounding like he was losing the battle to not laugh. God, if they really knew that we wore shock collars around our balls and not just worked shirtless, I was sure heads would pop.

  Even with the attorney’s fancy dancing, the verdict came back guilty on all charges. The story he painted of Briony making the whole thing up and paying us to try and save her failing farm was just not cutting it, since enough people knew her in town to be a sweetheart.

  The final nail in the coffin had been when she’d actually showed her corporate tax returns and the check she’d paid, showing none of it was true. I couldn’t believe she went that far, but then again, it would keep her and the farm safe.

  I also couldn’t believe how much money she fucking made last year. Yeah, I wasn’t going to fight over clothes again. The woman was loaded. Even the judge looked shocked and impressed she was such a good businesswoman.

  I was very ready to get out of there after being in a courtroom for a few days, the mood on our side light and happy.

  “I’m really glad for you, Briony,” Sam said as he came over to us. “We should have a drink to celebrate.” He cleared his throat. “I know you said a lot
of that to help the case and all.”

  “No, she didn’t,” I about growled, wrapping my arm around her and pulling her back against me. “Thanks for supporting her, but there won’t be any drinks with you.”

  “Unless in a group or at a party,” Briony clarified.

  “Right, otherwise she’s off the market.”

  “With which one of you?” Sam demanded, glancing between us.

  “I don’t think that’s any of your business, nor do you deserve an answer, Samuel,” she warned, her voice tight. “Do I need to talk to Dottie about your manners? I’m sorry things didn’t work out, and you assumed I was trying to make you chase me. But I think I was quite clear I wasn’t interested in continuing the fun we had. Please stop making this something it wasn’t.”

  He cleared his throat, looking a bit like a kicked puppy, but he’d brought it on himself, and he wanted to take Briony from us.

  “I apologize for overstepping and I’m sorry I misunderstood. They were right that you’re not the type to play games. I just wish you had been blunt instead of kind, because I really thought we had a shot. Please excuse me.”

  She sighed as he hurried off. “Damn kids.”

  “He’s our age,” Levi growled.

  “As I said,” she muttered, nodding down to where I was still holding her possessively.

  “I don’t think that part will change with age,” I grumbled, letting her go at least, which tickled her.

  She waited until we were out of the courthouse to bring up something completely random. “So I had my attorney look into the fact that your parents falsified documents to put Levi in the Army early.”

  I almost tripped over my feet. “What?”

  She smiled at me. “He just turned twenty-two. How did he go in at seventeen with parental consent and be in for five years? I do know math.”

  “Yeah, they lied and altered my birth certificate so we could go in together because they expected us to be a hunting team, but I didn’t think you’d look into it,” Levi muttered, not hiding his shock well.

  “Sometimes the best defense is to have a good offense ready.” She smiled brightly at us. “And there’s a present waiting for you both at home.”

  “Does it involve lingerie?” I asked, my tone excited and hopeful.

  “Nope,” she chirped, popping the P loudly, which I thought was so cute of her.

  We stopped for fast food on the way home, since we had a drive and with all the snow Wyoming now had, we needed to be careful. I was just glad it was still light out.

  We were still getting used to driving in snow, or really driving at all. I’d barely gotten my license before the Army, and someone always seemed to drive when we went anywhere, so I hadn’t gotten all the much practice besides on leave.

  I punched in the code at the gate and pulled up the drive, my mouth falling open at what I saw parked in front of the garage.

  “You’re nuts, baby,” Levi whispered from the back seat.

  “Call it a bonus for all the back rubs and massages while I’ve been working so much,” she replied easily. “Besides, I got one for myself too. I’ve been meaning to get one, as they handle better than the ATV in winter.”

  Yeah, sure, but knowing her, she went all out, and those weren’t just three snowmobiles sitting there, but turbo awesome and expensive machines. She was way too good to us.

  “Let’s change and try them out,” she suggested.

  “How did you get them in here?” I asked as I pulled into the garage.

  “Gary. He wanted to come check on stuff today, and he’s got the code anyways, so he accepted delivery while he was here. He texted me when they arrived and signed for them.”

  “You are so fucking cool,” I whispered, jumping out when the truck was off and bounding around to her. I kissed her and then handed her over to Levi, who was waiting as well.

  We hurried inside and changed so we could play a bit before the sun fully set.

  We really only got about ten minutes to try them before it was too dark to risk them and us. We parked them by the shop and put on the covers to protect them, but she was out of room in the garage, so we’d have to think about other options later.

  “Hey, I know it’s your date night, but can we switch with Saturday so I can be with her tonight too?” I asked Levi as we headed back to the house.

  He smiled at me. “Yeah, join us; we don’t have to be stiff and switch.” He cleared this throat and slowed down a bit so she didn’t hear us. “No sex though. I really want—we have a lot of sex, and I’m not complaining, but I want her to know she’s more than that to me. I asked her to teach me how to make that dragon egg totem she sells a lot of for eclipse magic.”

  “Yeah, that’s cool. I want to learn that too, and I’ve done the same with some of our dates.”

  “Good, because I love her and I want to stay,” he whispered so quietly I almost thought I’d heard wrong.

  But I knew I didn’t, because I felt the same. “Me too.”

  “Good,” he sighed, sounding relieved.

  It might have seemed weird to hope that your best friend loved the same woman as you, but we were all we had, and if a woman came between us, that would kill me. I was selfish, and I wanted both of them.

  We hurried to change into work clothes before we caught up to her before the shop.

  “I’m crashing your date,” I told her.

  “A date class,” she chuckled. “I would have thought it would have to be sex education to be a date, but dragon eggs it is.”

  Levi cleared his throat. “There are dance lesson dates and all kinds of dates. We should try more of them when the weather’s nicer.”

  She didn’t answer, giving him a glance like she wasn’t sure if he was teasing her or not.

  I didn’t want to worry her or have tension, so I said the first thing on my mind. “If we get snowmobiles for back rub bonuses, what do we get for Christmas?”

  She missed a step but caught herself at the last second, giving me a confused look, and I felt her upset. “Um, wow, I don’t—I’m not Christian. Do you need—I didn’t think—”

  “I was teasing,” I muttered, grabbing her arm and turning her to me. “Sorry, that was rude. I’m not used to accepting such a big gift. I-I got nervous. I don’t expect a present. I got you one, but it’s—it’s just for fun.”

  I blew out a harsh breath, wondering how we’d taken such a turn from the fun of snowmobiling.

  “It’s a naughty Mrs. Claus costume, isn’t it?” she asked, bursting out laughing when I winced. “Of course it is. I get it. I chomp on my foot all the time too.”

  She did, but nowhere as bad as we did, but it made her easily accept when we stepped in it, which I always appreciated.

  Briony spent the next half an hour showing us everything from which wood to use for the totem, all the way to how to work the sawdust collection system set up all over, to the right bits for the saws and sanders. It was amazing how detailed she was, knowing each piece and its use like the right note in the song she was composing.

  The care she took with each totem always impressed me. This wasn’t just cranking out objects, but this meant something to her. It wasn’t simply wood in her hands, but the way to help witches with what they needed and even what they might not know they needed, like protecting their magic.

  When it was done, I studied it with awe. It was so pretty and detailed, and she made it look so easy. I couldn’t get over that.

  “You’re so talented, Briony, really, you are,” I whispered as I studied it. “This is so cool, and the fact you came up with the design, the right wood, spell for it, and what it’s best for is seriously amazing.”

  “Oh, um, thanks,” she murmured, clearing her throat. “It’s much easier now with electric tools that sometimes I just sort of zone out with the humming of the sanders and vacuum. It’s how I used to end up working until super late or overnight. Dottie threatened to spank me if she came here one more morning and I was still awake
from the day before.”

  “She would absolutely do it too,” Levi chuckled as he took the egg from me. “There’s no way I could get this detailed yet, but I could totally cut down the wood on the bandsaw if you marked it.”

  “That actually would help a lot,” she admitted. “I know you guys have been cutting down pieces, but if you did outlines, especially with the mask totems, that would be a huge help to getting out what I’m behind on.”

  “Still?” I asked, not able to hide my worry.

  She nodded. “I get a lot of orders for the New Year energy, along with winter events. I had started getting them all together, and extras because someone always forgets and orders late, and it all burned. People don’t stock up to have piles around their houses. That’s how someone could get found out, so it’s a few here and a few there. But I had a huge stock of easy full moon ones and regular stuff.”

  “I’m sorry you’re still dealing with it. We’ll help however we can,” Levi promised, and I nodded.

  Of course we would.

  “We can still flirt and be like a date if we do some of the masks, right?” I checked, glancing between them. “Let’s cut some of the slabs, and you can sketch out what we can help with tomorrow while we talk.”

  “About?” she asked, giving me a suspicious look.

  I shrugged. “My favorite food is cheeseburgers, but I’ll pick a really good pulled pork sandwich over that every now and again.”

  She bit back a smile. “A man of simple tastes, huh? I don’t know if I can pick just one.”

  “Yeah, I think we need categories,” I agreed.

  She frowned. “I actually wouldn’t mind that, but could we another night? I…”

  I felt her upset and worry, putting it together that she needed more help and didn’t want to ruin the date.

  “Hey, you’re in a bind. We were a bit demanding with all the dates and summonings. We get that. We can be flexible and not break the damn contract, Briony.”

  “Really?” she checked, sighing when we nodded. “Okay, good, thanks, sorry, it’s just… I really could use the help. I keep realizing the layers of what I lost, and now that I have the lumber kiln, I can get the wood dried out. I’ve never had to do it that way before. I always just have more drying in a section of the shop so I always have more to go. I had years of wood dried and stored for whatever I needed.”
