She entered her bedroom and collapsed on her bed. Man, what a day. Her thoughts went to the four men in the forest and fear skated down her spine. What had they wanted? What was going on? Just when she began to really get scared, there was a knock on her door.
When she opened the door, Reilly and Lachlan were there, both leaning against the doorjamb.
"May we come in?" Lachlan asked.
Ari waved them in. "Is there something wrong?"
"No, luv. No worries," Reilly said as he passed her when he entered. "Your sisters said you went to bed early and that we should come and check on you."
Lachlan shut the door and secured it. Ari raised her eyebrow and he said, "Don't want to be disturbed, now do we? We want to say good night properly."
He pulled back and then took her hand and led her to the enormous bed. The comforter was down and when he lifted her up and placed her on the bed, she sank into the soft mattress. She looked up just in time to see that they were both disrobing. She saw the heated gaze as the men looked down at her.
Reilly and Lachlan quickly disposed of their clothes. She thought of the book she had been reading, where two men had shared a woman, but she never thought she would have the chance at this. They were huge, how would they fit at one time? She did not care; she wanted them to take her. Together.
Reilly climbed on one side of her while Lachlan climbed on the other. “One of us is a little overdressed for this party, don’t you think?” Reilly said and pulled her shirt up.
Ari allowed them to undress her slowly, first the shirt. Lachlan began kissing her ear and then used her position to open her jeans and pull them off at the same time as her panties. She was naked, in between two beautifully sculpted males, these were the guys dreams were made of. And they were all hers.
She ran her hands down each of their chests, feeling the muscles and the smooth skin. Reilly leaned over and asked, "Kiss me?"
She smiled and then accepted his kiss; he explored her mouth until she was panting. He was a good kisser, she was in heaven. Ari felt Lachlan palm her heavy breast and she arched into him. His hands were callused a little and the rough skin made her nipple perk up with the friction.
Lachlan leaned in and took her nipple into his mouth and she cried out into Reilly’s mouth giving him more room to deepen the kiss even further. The gentle kiss became more demanding and she felt his hand cup her other breast. Finally, she had to break away and take a deep breath. The sensations seemed to rob her of the ability to breathe.
Lachlan did not give her much of a chance though to catch her breath. He let her nipple go with a pop and then claimed her mouth. It was like a brand; he pushed his way into her mouth and explored every inch of her. It was amazing; she never had felt this way when she was with anyone before.
“I need to taste that sweet cream,” Reilly murmured in her ear then kissed his way down her body. Lachlan held her firmly and continued playing with her breasts and kissing her, while Reilly got into position.
She felt him pull her to the edge of the bed as he knelt on the floor. He flipped her legs over his shoulders and she wanted to giggle. The picture they must have made. But she did not have the chance. Reilly swiped at her wet pussy lips from front to back so quickly that she bucked a little. He held her waist with his hands and then began to eat at her like a starving man. He pushed his tongue through her folds and she felt the tip of his tongue graze her clit.
Lachlan finally gave her mouth a reprieve and went to work on her breast again. He sucked and nipped in the same rhythm as Reilly. It was as if they were in perfect harmony. She cried out as she felt the tingling of an orgasm building. She was not going to be able to hold off; it had been so long since she had felt this good. Reilly sucked her clit into his mouth, rolling it against the roof of his mouth and she screamed her release.
Lachlan pulled her over the top of him quickly and scooted until they were in the middle of the bed. She felt the tremors from the orgasm still flooding through her when he helped her straddle him and then he entered her with one fast stroke. She cried out again because of the sensitiveness of her still pulsing pussy.
“Shit, sorry, sweet, you feel so good I couldn't wait. Your sweet cries were driving me over the edge,” Lachlan said into her throat.
He put his hands on her waist and began slowly pumping in and out of her. She pushed herself up a little and kissed his chest and then his nipples. She was not going to let him have all the fun, she thought. When she was done exploring, she pushed herself up again and held her breast out to Lachlan who latched on to it.
Reilly had gotten up and he pushed his brother's legs further out and whispered in her ear, “Has anyone ever taken this ass?”
“No,” she gasped.
She felt him reach for something then felt something cold and wet on her crack. “I am gonna stretch you out and see if you can take me, luv.”
She nodded and let her head fall as Lachlan stopped and held her in place while Reilly ran a finger around the rim of her back entrance, and then slowly pushed one finger in, it burned a little, but the sting subsided when he brushed up against Lachlan’s cock. She groaned when she felt the fullness of having Lachlan in her pussy and a finger in her ass. It felt decadent and forbidden. It was wonderful.
Lachlan pulled her down to kiss him and that made her ass open up fully for Reilly, who wasted no time pushing another finger inside her. She moaned and wiggled as she felt the stretch.
They spent what felt like hours preparing her and bringing her up to an orgasm just to stop and then let her settle down. Both of them whispered that they wanted to be in her when she came again. She shivered at the thought of them filling her with their seed.
Finally, Reilly pushed her forward a little and Lachlan held her still while Reilly lined himself up to fill her backside. She took a deep breath when she felt the pressure against her little hole and then let it out slowly while he entered her. Lachlan praised her in a soft voice and told her to push back a little, to open her up. She did as he asked and she felt him slid inside her smoothly. She was stuffed full. There was no other way to explain it.
Once she felt that he was fully seated inside her, she cried out, “Someone move, please.”
“With pleasure,” Lachlan said and then held her hips while he pulled out slowly, running his cock against Reilly's and creating a friction that almost sent her through the roof.
They established a rhythm. One pulling out while the other pushed in. She felt the tingling again in her toes and fingers when her orgasm started to build. “Oh shit,” she cried and the men began to move in earnest.
They pumped in and out of her while she thrashed her head around trying to grasp the feelings she was having. It was overwhelming. Finally, Lachlan yelled to Reilly that he was ready and she felt someone touch her swollen clit and she screamed her release at the same time the men did.
She collapsed down on Lachlan while Reilly fell to the side, sliding out of her now sensitive ass. He rubbed her back as she tried to catch her breath. She felt safe and loved for the first time in her life. Ari sighed deeply and then let the heaviness of her limbs flow over the rest of her and pull her into a deep sleep.
Chapter Ten
"How the hell could they screw this up so bad?!" he yelled at the incompetent that brought him the news. He was standing in front of the fireplace in his library. He had recently moved into one of his unknown houses to avoid detection, as he had to keep a low profile in what he was doing. He had had to secure more men for this plan to work.
"It seems they have Guardians now, sir. We did not know this," lackey number two said.
"I must have her. She must die by my hand. Get her, I don't care how. Just do it," he ordered. They would not beat him. He had worked too hard to get where he was and he needed their powers to move forward with his plan. If the Council found out who and what was behind the attack, he would lose everything.
Right now he was in a good position, had strategically planned
it that way. He knew the Guardians had been called for but not that any had actually been assigned yet. Dammit, he would need to go meet with his source in order to find out what had been done with his men. They needed to be eliminated before they could say something that would do him in.
One of his men spoke up. "Sir, the chalice has arrived and we have a man who has located the athame. There is a small problem. It will take some time to acquire it as it is in a more secure place than we thought."
"Where the hell is it?" he demanded.
"It is in the Council's vault. It was brought there for safe keeping when they learned of the disappearance of the chalice."
He nodded. "Yes, that will be more difficult. I will work on how to get it. Tell our men to back off for now. I want the girl. Get her. That is priority number one."
"Yes, sir." The men all left the room.
He sat down in one of the high back chairs. He was pissed that Guardians were now involved. They were a complication he didn't need. His time was running short and he had thought to have both the chalice and the athame by now. He decided he needed to make a phone call to his 'friend'. He would be able to tell him the fate of his men and maybe some information on the athame.
He knew he had the woman scared in the dreams, he could feel her fear, almost taste it. It was a heady feeling to have that power over her and the others. He lived to put fear into people and make them bow to his will. Soon he would make them all bow to him—in more ways than one.
She woke slowly, snuggling into the warmth on either side of her. She didn't want to move, it felt so good. She was well rested and realized that she had slept, she didn't have 'the dream'. Evil hadn't chased her with her men on either side of her. She smiled, then she turned on her side and opened her eyes. There was Reilly looking at her with his head on his hand.
"Good morning, luv. Sleep well?" he said.
Ari sucked in a breath and the night before came rushing back. She turned over to her other side to get out of bed and there was Lachlan. He said, "How are you feeling, sweet?"
She flopped onto her back and sighed. "Good morning, gentlemen. I slept wonderfully, how about you?" She didn't have any experience with these kinds of things and certainly not with two men. She wasn't sure how to cope.
Reilly ran a hand over her stomach and leaned over her for a kiss. When he had thoroughly plundered her mouth, he released her and said, "I slept wonderfully, snuggled up to the sexiest body. When I woke, I was grateful it hadn't all been a dream."
She smiled at him as Lachlan leaned over her and kissed her just as thoroughly and said, "Best rest I have had in a long time, sweet."
Ari fiddled with the sheet she had pulled up to her chest. "Um, good. How about some breakfast?"
Reilly grinned. "That sounds great. We should go shower, unless you will let us shower with you?" he said hopefully.
Ari laughed and said, "Then we would never make it downstairs."
"And that would be bad because...?" Lachlan asked.
Ari laughed again and shook her head. She pointed to the door and said, "Go now before I change my mind. Please, for the love of my sanity, don't let anyone see you. I am not in the mood to hear it from my sisters this morning or Mamo for that matter. I have never let a boy in my room, let alone two."
Reilly put his hand over his heart and said, "We are honored." He seemed so serious for a moment and then grinned.
Lachlan laughed. "No worries, we will be in stealth mode."
They got out of bed and that gave Ari a spectacular view of their fine asses as they got dressed in last night's clothes. They both came back to the bed and kissed her again before telling her they would meet her downstairs.
When they left, Ari thought about the night before and her cheeks heated as she remembered the men's hands on her body. Then she thought about how grateful she was that she had been getting the birth control shot to regulate her. She had been so caught up in what the men were doing to her and how she felt that birth control had slipped right out of her mind. She sighed, got out of bed, and headed for the bathroom. She hummed through her shower and then came out in a towel to get dressed, only to find Erin sitting in the chair by her window.
"Oh! You scared me!" Ari told her.
Erin raised her eyebrow. "I thought the two men who broke into your room would have scared you, not little ole me," she said wryly and pointed to a cup on her bedside table. "I brought you some coffee. Now spill. I want details."
Ari sighed. "Fine. They were here. It was blissful, wonderful, orgasmic. Satisfied?"
Erin laughed. "Obviously you were. Is this serious?"
Ari frowned. "I don't know. I feel something serious for them. It's as if we are connected in some way. It's hard to explain."
Erin nodded. "I understand, sort of. I have never felt that way, but I hope to one day." She looked so lost for a moment.
"Are you okay?" Ari asked her. "You want to talk about it?"
Erin shook her head. "No, I'm fine. Just melancholy. Get dressed and let's go eat. I'm sure you have worked up an appetite." She laughed and dodged the pillow Ari threw at her.
Ari got dressed and they headed down to breakfast. The men had beaten her down and were helping her grandmother serve the food. Calli and Kira were nowhere to be found—that was typical, they liked to sleep in. Sheela was sitting at the table, looking at the paper.
They all sat down and ate breakfast. Their grandmother told the girls that she wanted to have a family meeting at lunch and the girls agreed. They discussed who had to do what for the party and because Ari's job was done, the men asked her to go for a walk with them. She agreed and then ran upstairs to get her shoes on.
She came back down and they were waiting for her by the main door. Reilly opened the door for her and they motioned for her to go first. When they got out to the drive, they each took one of her hands and began to walk toward the forest. She hesitated for a moment and they noticed.
"What's wrong, sweet?" Lachlan asked.
"Um, nothing." Ari tried to brush the feeling of uneasiness off.
Reilly raised the hand he was holding to his mouth and kissed it. "You know that you are safe with us, right?"
Ari nodded and they began to walk again. How could she not feel safe with these two strong men at her side? They walked in companionable silence for a while and then Lachlan spoke.
"Adrianna, we needed to speak with you alone. We want you to understand that what we did last night was not a one time thing."
"We want you," Reilly said bluntly.
Ari arched her brow at him. "Really?"
Lachlan stepped in. "What he meant to say is that we are drawn to you. We want you to know that."
"We care for you deeply," Reilly said and then they stopped walking, causing her to stop as they wouldn't let go of her hands.
She looked around and noticed they were in the small meadow by the creek she loved so dearly. This was her special spot and the only one who knew that had been Mamo. This spot was where she came to think and to just be when she needed moments alone. The flowers were all in bloom and filled the area with their fragrance. For a moment she closed her eyes and breathed in the true smell of happiness. This place she felt was just for her, and then she looked at the men.
She was shocked to see both men down in their knees and thought, Oh my God! They saw her expression and broke out in grins. Each still held one of her hands and they looked at each other, then Reilly spoke.
"Be calm, luv, and listen. We understand you are a modern woman and have a career, but we care deeply for you," he told her. "We know you are aware of handfasting."
Lachlan broke in. "We are asking you to do us the honor of handfasting with us so we can prove to you that we are all meant to be together."
Handfasting was an old tradition that dates back to the 1600s in which a man and a woman would agree to be sealed together for a year and one day. It was like being married, they would live together as a couple. If at the end of that year an
d one day they wanted to be married then they would be married. Otherwise, the woman would be returned to her family and the couple would go their separate ways.
Ari was stunned that they were asking this of her. It was a way for them to be exclusive and committed to each other without her having to make an immediate choice of marriage. It was still a serious decision and she needed time.
"I...I don't know what to say," she told them. "I need some time."
The men stood and looked down into her eyes; she could see she had hurt them. "We understand," Lachlan said.
"I am not saying no, I just need to think about this. Everything is happening so fast." She wanted them to understand where her head was. "I care for both of you so much, I just..." She couldn't find the right words; she was overwhelmed.
Reilly grabbed her in a hug. "Shh, we understand. No worries, luv, we can wait. We have waited all our lives for you, a bit more won't kill us."
Ari felt tears gather in her eyes at his sweet words. She felt Lachlan come up behind her and press against her. She loved being held by them. Being with these two men gave her an inner peace she had never felt before in her life. Standing there between them, she knew this was where she wanted to be no matter what happened in her life. Nothing would make her feel the way she did with them, not her work, friends, anything.
Her head was warring with her heart and she knew she just needed to think things through. The men said they would give her time and she knew they would. They each pulled back and continued to take her on a walk in her woods. They spoke more about their lives and their family to her, trying to let her see them as they were. She talked more about Julie and the shop as well as the break she had been given with Fashion Week.
Time stood still for them as they explored the woods and their lives together. They stopped by the small creek in a shaded area and sat down for a while. The men began to caress her and kiss her neck causing her to giggle. Then it turned to heavy petting and some serious kisses that made Ari dizzy. Just when she was willing to let them strip her and take her right there, they pulled back and straightened her clothing.
