  “I don’t want to.” She looked over her shoulder again, gulping at the angry looks directed at her. “I think I’ll come with you.”

  Phoenix stopped, turning to her with a smile. “And you don’t think they’ll follow you? Hell, we’re both gonna get an earful. Me for showing off, and you for jumping over that fence. Might as well get it over with.” Leaning close, he whispered in her ear. “Go on. I’ll give you a head start.”

  Turning to face his brothers, Phoenix nodded. “I know. I saw Sarah and was showing off. Couldn’t help myself. Did you see how she ran? She’s feeling better, don’t you think?”

  Sarah hurried toward the chow shack, hoping that Hawke and Blade would have a chance to cool down over supper.

  She didn’t get the chance to find out.

  Appearing on either side of her, they each took one of her arms and changed direction again, heading straight to the cabin.

  Once inside, they released her, and Blade ran a hand over her hair. “We need to have a talk.”

  Sarah shrugged and moved farther into the small room, shaking with nerves. “What do you want to talk about?”

  After a lengthy silence, she turned to find Hawke and Blade both staring at her.

  Hawke had his hip perched on the corner of the table with Blade standing beside him. Both men had their arms crossed over their chests.

  Blade’s hooded gaze raked over her, leaving a trail of heat in its wake. “Are you all right?”

  Smiling, Sarah nodded. “Yes. Of course. Phoenix is the one who got hurt.”

  Hawke’s brow went up. “Not hurt anywhere?”

  Sarah gulped, knowing that when Hawke cut his sentences, he was upset. Very upset. “No. Not at all.” She tried anther smile. “As a matter of fact, I feel better than I have in a long time. You were right. All that exercise and Duke’s cooking was all I needed.” Nervous at the way they were both looking at her, she shifted her feet, reaching out to fluff the pillows on the bed for something to do with her hands.

  Blade’s next words had her stilling again. “Good, then we can move on, and you can explain to me why you deliberately disobeyed me and went over the fence and straight into danger?”

  Shivering at his icy tone and the cold calculation in his eyes, Sarah shrugged. “I, um, didn’t think about it. I saw Phoenix fall and just wanted to get to him.”

  Blade unfolded his arms and took a step closer, a dark brow going up. “Even after I told you to stay where you were?”

  Uh oh.

  Sarah shrugged and attempted another smile. “I told you—I didn’t think about it.” Pushing out her bottom lip the way Maggie had shown her, she wrung her hands. “Poor Phoenix. Did you see the way he went flying through the air? He fell so hard.” Lowering her gaze, she looked up then through her lashes. “I worry every day about all of you. You’re always in danger.”

  Blade took a step closer, his eyes narrowed. “We can handle the danger. And, I know you didn’t think about climbing over that fence. That’s the problem. Things happen fast out here, and you have to learn to react.” He took a step closer, his eyes narrowing again when she took a step back. “You’re not used to this way of life and aren’t experienced enough to be able to weigh your options or realize the consequences of each one. That’s our job, and we’ve already stressed to you how important it is to obey us, haven’t we?”

  Unnerved by his anger, she wrapped her arms around herself. “Yes, but—”

  “But within seconds of me telling you to stay put, you climb over the fence and into danger.”

  Her own temper flared. Taking a step toward him, she poked him in the chest. “What was I supposed to do? Phoenix was hurt.”

  Gripping her wrist, he whirled her around, the hand at her waist pulling her firmly back against him. “You were supposed to do what I told you to do.”

  Shivering at the feel of his body against hers, and the brush of his warm lips against her ear, Sarah dropped her head back against his chest. “I, um, wasn’t in any danger.” She laid a hand over his arm, and tilted her face toward his, her pulse leaping at the hard press of his cock against her back.

  Blade nipped her earlobe, sending a sharp stab of pleasure to her nipples and clit. “Really? So you’re an expert on danger around here?” His voice, so low and silky, lulled her into closing her eyes and leaning heavily against him. “Hmm. I didn’t say that.” Shocked that her skirt fell to the floor, she started to move, only to be yanked back against him.

  “Do you know that only Hawke stood between you and that wild stallion?”

  Her eyes flew open, her gaze whipping to Hawke’s. Seeing the truth in his eyes, Sarah pushed out of Blade’s hold and started toward him. “Oh, Hawke!”

  Blade yanked her back, his voice low and filled with anger. “Do you know that he risked his life, knowing that only he stood between you and a wild horse?”

  “Oh, God!” She reached for Hawke, stunned at the knowledge that she could have gotten him killed. “I had no idea. I’m so sorry.” She looked from Hawke to Blade and back again, and then to Phoenix as he came through the door. “It’ll never happen again. I promise.”

  Hawke studied her features, his eyes unreadable. “I’m sure you didn’t also realize that Blade was distracted by the sight of you running toward danger. He lost his concentration and almost got trampled.”

  Spinning back around, she gaped at Blade, horrified at what she’d done. “No. Oh, God.” Shaking her head, she looked at each of them, her stomach in knots. “I didn’t know. I’d never do anything to hurt any of you.”

  Blade’s jaw clenched. “You not only put yourself in danger, but everyone out there. If I’d been hurt, Hawke might’ve been hurt, too, and then everyone out there—including you—would have been at the mercy of that hard-headed stallion.”

  Sarah gulped. “Oh, God. I’m so sorry.”

  Blade inclined his head. “You will be. You need to learn a lesson. I don’t care how many times we have to do this to hammer the point home. Practicing obeying without question might just keep you from getting hurt in the future. You will do what we tell you to do. Without question. Without hesitation. Your life, our lives, and others’ lives might very well depend on it.”

  Clasping her hands in front of her, she nodded. “It won’t happen again.”

  Blade looked up from where he sat at the table, the air of confidence surrounding him steadying her. “You assured me that it wouldn’t happen at all, but it did. Even when we explained how important it was—you chose to ignore me the first time I gave you a direct order. I’m afraid I don’t believe you.”

  The enormity of what she’d done hit her hard. “I didn’t ignore you.”

  She honestly hadn’t thought before she’d reacted, something she now realized could be deadly in such a wild untamed place.

  Walking toward her—stalking her—Blade raised a brow again. “You disobeyed me.”

  “I didn’t mean to.”

  “Yet you did.”

  Glancing toward where Phoenix leaned back against the door, Sarah shuffled her feet, wishing she knew what to say. “I just wanted to get to Phoenix.”

  Hawke sighed. “We know that, but how can we be sure you won’t run out in the middle of a shootout? How can we be sure that you won’t follow one of us into a damned sinkhole or move when we tell you not to if there’s a snake or wild animal?”

  Seeing that she wouldn’t get any help from Phoenix, she dropped to the side of the bed. “Oh, God.”

  Phoenix shrugged. “Sorry, honey. They’re right. Your safety’s the most important thing. I can’t go through you getting hurt again.”

  Hawke crossed his arms over his chest again, looking like a warrior. “If we don’t stick together, you won’t have the security you need. Don’t try to pit one of us against another. It won’t work.”

  Blade moved to one window, closing it while Hawke closed another. “You’re going to learn to obey us if I have to turn you over my knee every day to remind you.�


  Sarah gulped, eyeing Phoenix as he closed the last window, the realization that the only reason they would close them on such a warm day would be to keep others from hearing her cries. “But—”

  “Take off your clothes.”

  Sarah gulped again at the hard edge in Blade’s voice, and the look of iron determination in his eyes. “What?”

  A muscle worked in Blade’s jaw, but his eyes held a tenderness and daring. “You heard me, yet you question a direct order. That’s one of those things we’re supposed to be working on. Remember?”

  Hawke turned from closing the window, crossing his arms over his chest. “Take them off right now, or I’ll rip them off you.”

  “You wouldn’t dare!”

  Hawke’s brow went up, and without hesitation, he stepped toward her.

  “No! I just made this dress and you’re not ruining it.”

  He stopped, eyeing her steadily. “You have one minute. Blade’s going to administer your punishment because you disobeyed him, but my hands are itching to paddle your well-padded backside. Disobey me and it will.”

  She should have been terrified. Surprised that although she was nervous, she wasn’t afraid, she eyed each of them warily, wondering if they’d actually spank her. Knowing that they wouldn’t hurt her, and that she didn’t appear to have much choice in the matter, she began to undress. She deserved it. She already felt guilty. She’d distracted Phoenix and he’d gotten hurt as a result.

  She could have very well gotten others hurt as well,

  Trembling with nerves of trepidation, she unbuttoned her blouse, aware of her three husbands’ rapt attention. Pausing, she stared at Hawke, knowing that only he could stop this.

  Hawke’s brow went up went she hesitated. “Minute’s almost up.”

  “You’d really rip them off me?”

  Hawke’s lips twitched. “And enjoy it.”

  Glaring at him, she threw off the rest of her clothes, and stood in the middle of the floor wearing just her boots, self-conscious that she stood there naked while they remained fully dressed. “There.”

  “Boots, too.” Blade’s gaze raked over her as he turned one of the chairs from the table and sat in it. “I don’t want to get kicked with your boots when you’re struggling to evade your spanking.”

  Lowering herself to the edge of the bed, she tugged off her boots, tossing them aside before wrapping her arms around herself, her body burning under their sharp gazes.

  Despite their threats, she’d become aroused, and knew that as soon as they touched her, they’d realize it. Lifting her chin, she faced Blade. “There.”

  Blade lifted a hand, his eyes dancing with amusement. “Better. Come here.”

  Knowing that hesitating would just anger him, she got to her feet and started toward him, trying to hide her nervousness and arousal.

  Holding her breath as she walked past Hawke, she let it out in a moan when Hawke reached out to trail a hand down her back to her bottom.

  Leaning back, Blade smiled. “Over my lap. Now.”

  Sarah didn’t dare look at either Hawke or Phoenix, her face burning as she lowered herself over Blade’s lap.

  Although the buckskin felt soft against her skin, the thighs beneath her were rock-hard.

  She jumped at the feel of his hand sliding over her bottom, inwardly wincing when he chuckled.

  “I barely touched you and you jumped. Are you nervous, love?”

  Gulping, she stared at the floor, struggling to even her breathing. “I’ve never been spanked before.”

  One hand moved over her braid while the other caressed her clenched bottom. “Well, it looks like there’s a lot of firsts for us, doesn’t it?”

  Hawke’s feet came into her line of vision. “You don’t seem particularly scared.”

  Fisting her hands in front of her, Sarah bit back a moan when Blade parted her thighs and slid a hand between them. “I know you won’t hurt me. Oh!” She gasped as Blade plunged a finger into her.

  Chuckling again, he stroked her pussy. “She’s aroused.”

  Phoenix’s boots came into view, and she knew that all three of them watched what Blade did to her. “So, you believe that we love you? You know that if we didn’t love you, we wouldn’t care so much about this.”

  Turning her head, she smiled up at him, feeling the love for her pouring off of them even now. “I know.” Turning back to stare at the floor, she blew out a breath. “Just get it over with.”

  A hard slap landed on her bottom, one she hadn’t expected because Blade’s finger was still inside her. Gripping her hair, Hawke turned her to face him, his eyes glittering darkly. “You don’t tell us how to punish you.”

  Blade laughed softly. “This is not a spanking that I’m just going to rush. Phoenix, get that wood I carved for her and get it ready.”

  Imagining that he wanted to use a piece of wood to spank her, Sarah began to struggle. “No. Please, just use your hand.”

  Blade stilled, turning her to face him. “Do you really think I would hit you with a piece of wood?” Shaking his head, he sighed. “Trust is still an issue with you, isn’t it? What am I saying? Of course, it is. Baby, I would never hurt you like that. Ever. None of us would. If it’s the last thing I do, I’ll get your trust.”

  Hawke spoke from behind her, somewhere near her feet. “We’ll get there. In the meantime, she needs to learn a lesson. She needs to understand that a threat to her safety isn’t something any of us is ever gonna overlook. Give it to me, Phoenix.”

  Sarah gasped when Blade slid his finger free, clenching her bottom when he parted her ass cheeks. “What are you doing?”

  A sharp slap landed on her bottom and then another. “Quiet. I don’t care how tight you clench your sweet ass, this is going in.” Blade’s voice had taken on a silky, no-nonsense tone that sent a chill through her.

  The chill travelled up and down her spine when he parted her ass cheeks wide, and something hard and unforgiving pushed at her puckered opening.

  Shaking, she struggled to breathe, her toes curling as the large hard object was pushed into her.

  Phoenix whistled. “Jesus, that’s beautiful. It turned out great, Blade. With that thing that Hawke rigged up, she should be in a real mess soon.”

  Hawke pushed the object farther into her ass, and to her embarrassment, her pussy and ass clenched, her juices literally trickling down her thighs. “Just a little more. Don’t worry. Blade made it wide at the end so it can’t slip all the way into you. It’s smooth and slick enough with the salve that it won’t scratch you.”

  “It’s too big.” It felt so cool and hard inside her, nothing at all like their finger or Phoenix’s cock had felt.

  Blade patted her bottom. “You’ll have this inside you every time you get spanked. Hmm, maybe I should start carving a bigger one.”

  Another chill went through her, her breath coming out in short pants as she struggled to adjust to the object Hawke continued to push into her. “No. I’ll be good. I swear. I’ll be good.”

  Blade laughed softly at that. “Well, maybe we’re getting somewhere. We’ll see how you are when we finish.”

  Hawke paused. “Hold her still. The widest part is going into her now, and I don’t want to hurt her.”

  Phoenix bent to look into her eyes. “That won’t hurt her. She’s just not used to it. She took my cock in her ass just fine, didn’t you, honey?”

  The heat in her clit kept growing, the vulnerability of her position exciting her. The knowledge that the piece of wood carved for her would force her bottom wider, though, filled her with trepidation.

  “Is it in? Oh, God. It burns.”

  Hawke paused. “Damn it. It’s too big.”

  Blade stiffened. “No, it’s not. Give it to me. Sarah, reach back and hold this pretty ass wide open.”

  Sarah’s eyes went wide, wondering if he could actually be serious.

  “Don’t make me tell you again.”

  Alarmed at his tone, Sarah rushed
to obey him, her face burning at the knowledge that all three of them watched her reach back and pull her ass cheeks wide.

  “Good girl.” Blade ran a hand over her back while pushing the object deeper. “It burns because it’s stretching you. It won’t hurt you. I’d never hurt you that way. You know that, don’t you?”

  Phoenix cursed. “I’d never have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes. Oh, just imagining all the things I can do to her.”

  “Just be careful. If you hurt her, I’ll kick your ass.” Hawke placed his hands over hers. “It’s almost all the way in. Just a little more. That’s it.”

  Sarah feared she might burst. “So full.”

  Blade slapped her ass again, releasing the carved wood and allowing her to feel the flat part of the end pushing against her opening. “You’ve been fuller. Now, put your hands back down so we can get to your spanking.”

  His hand came down on her ass again—harder than before. “Why are you being spanked?”

  The heat stunned her.

  She clenched on the object in her ass, making the inner walls burn as well. The heat quickly spread, engulfing her clit and pussy in a way that left her crying out and fighting his hold—her arousal almost more than she could bear.

  Writhing on his lap for relief proved futile, his firm hold not allowing her to move much at all. “Please! Oh, God. It burns everywhere.”

  “Blade—” Hawke rushed to her side, kneeling to look into her eyes.

  “I know what I’m doing, Hawke. Tug her nipples.”

  “No!” Sarah cried out as several more slaps landed on her bottom in rapid succession. “I can’t stand it. Oh!” The tugs to her nipples nearly sent her over. “I’m gonna come. It’s so strong. Please. Help me.”

  Hawke’s gaze sharpened, his lips curving in a slow smile that made her insides flutter. “You really are something. How the hell am I gonna get any work done?”

  Blade slapped her ass again, each slap shifting the object filling her ass. “Why are you being spanked?”

  Her clit tingled in the way it did when she was getting ready to go over.
