Possessive Protectors [Triple Dare County, South Dakota 1] (Siren Publishing Everlasting Polyromance)

by Paige Cameron

  She brought her attention back to Gray. “I’m sure. And I’m packed and ready to leave. May and Sissy will spoil him while we’re gone. We haven’t had any time alone since his birth. This can be a mini-vacation, and I’ll have the satisfaction of seeing the closure on the case that almost put me in jail.”

  Holt sauntered across the room to her side. “Tell me, does this vacation include sex?”

  “You have sex on the brain,” she teased him.

  “So does every other normal man,” Gray retorted. “But ours is directed only at you, darlin’.”

  Natalie pretended to consider Holt’s question. “We might find time for a little sex.”

  “No question about it,” her husbands replied.

  After dropping off their son, Gray drove to the small nearby airport where he kept the plane he’d purchased shortly after their wedding. He checked the plane while Holt helped Natalie inside. She sat in the back. Holt got in beside Gray. He’d recently gotten his pilot’s license to be a backup for Gray.

  Natalie settled in her seat, and her heart lifted as the plane went up into the almost-cloudless sky. After a number of flights she’d gotten over most of her fear of flying in small planes.

  It was a beautiful day. She looked forward to getting to Holt’s condo. Both men had decided to keep their own places in town. This trip they’d tossed a coin. Holt won, so they were staying at his place.

  Holt glanced back at her. He winked. The man was obviously up to something. She knew that wicked gleam in his eye meant he had a surprise for her.

  The flight went smoothly. Gray had arranged to have his car delivered to the airport where they landed. He got her suitcase and his out of the plane and led the way to the shiny black sedan.

  “I’ll drop you two off. I’m sure you can entertain yourselves until I return. I need to check with the office before relaxing,” Gray said.

  He drove to the outskirts of the city and let Holt and Nat off in front of the condo building. Holt grabbed their suitcases. The doorman welcomed them and held the door.

  Once inside Holt used his key to activate his private elevator that went to his penthouse. Nat hugged his arm. “I feel so decadent having our own personal elevator.”

  “When I got back from the service the one thing I valued most was privacy. I have my own world on top of this building. I can see all the city’s lights at night.”

  “You miss it.”

  “Very rarely. And I only want to come when you can be with me.”

  “We’ll make it a rule at least one weekend every six months. You and me, alone.”

  “What about Gray?”

  “He’ll get his weekend. He and I will plan it.”

  “Sounds fair to me. We need that special time. Not that our regular time with you isn’t great.” The doors slid open to his foyer. Holt put in the code and unlocked the door. Once inside he locked it behind him.

  “I have a surprise for you.” He led the way to the master bedroom. The comforter had been pulled back, and the satin sheets were covered in red rose petals. Their sweet fragrance scented the air.

  Natalie walked into the room slowly. Holt reached toward the wall and soft music began to play. The curtains had been drawn and the lights dimmed. “This is very special. Why are those colorful scarves at the head of the bed and the foot?”

  “Remember how much trouble you had trusting me?”

  Natalie faced him. “Yes, but you know I trust you now.”

  “I do. But what I’d like to do may challenge that trust. Will you let me tie your hands and feet and trust me to love you when you are most vulnerable? Once we begin if you want me to stop just say that word.”

  Surprisingly Nat felt a flash of excitement at the unknown.

  “All right, how do we begin?”

  “First, I undress you.” Holt took his time unbuttoning her blouse. He kissed each spot of creamy skin he uncovered. “I’m glad you made this easy for me.” He unfastened her front-opening bra and threw it aside. His large, warm hands cupped her breasts, and his teeth nipped lightly at her puckered nipples.

  Moisture flowed out of her pussy. A familiar coil of desire tightened in her lower abdomen.

  Holt unsnapped her jeans. “I can smell the scent of your arousal, musky and sexy.” He slid her jeans down. She grinned at his surprised expression. “No panties. If I’d known that I’d have been rock hard the whole way here.”

  He removed her low-heeled shoes and the jeans. Then he stood and surveyed her. “Prettiest woman around.” His blue eyes had darkened to almost black.

  “Get on the bed.” His husky voice sent shivers up her spine.

  Natalie lay in the middle of the bed and spread her arms and legs out. Holt tied each scarf snug but not too tight.

  He opened a bedside drawer and pulled out more scarves and two feathers. “I’m going to blindfold you. Without sight your other senses will be more intense.”

  She raised her head and he tied the folded silk, blocking her vision. Her heartbeat thumped hard against her rib cage.

  “You know I won’t hurt you,” Holt said.

  “I know, yet there’s a slight fear of the unknown.”

  Holt didn’t reply. A feather brushed along her neck, between her breasts, and around her nipples. Then two feathers caressed her skin from her head to the bottom of her feet. He took his time playing her body like a fine instrument. She quivered from his soft, slow seduction.

  “I’ll be right back.”

  Her breath came more rapidly both from anxiety and curiosity about what he had planned next. When his cold hands covered her breasts she jumped.

  “Easy, baby,” Holt murmured. His warm mouth covered each cold spot. He licked and tasted her lush breasts. His breath made her nipples ache for him to suckle them. When he did a shock of pleasure went straight to her pussy.

  The mattress moved as he seemed to reach beyond her. Suddenly cool liquid fell onto her body. Holt’s tongue licked the liquid from every spot on her chest and abdomen.

  “Good wine is even better sipped off your satiny skin. Open your mouth.”

  Nat did, and a succulent dark chocolate melted on her tongue. She licked her lips to get the last morsel of sweetness. Holt kissed her. His tongue swept inside her mouth licking, tasting, and caressing every spot. He ravished her mouth as his fingers rubbed her nipples. A craving built inside her, and juice from her pussy saturated her lower lips.

  He slid down the length of her body and, starting at her toes, caressed her feet, her ankles, and kissed the sides of her legs. He stopped at where she hungered for him most.

  “Go on, please.”

  Deliberately he kissed around her mound, not touching the area that ached and hungered for his possession. He nuzzled her stomach, and when she least expected it, he opened her folds and rubbed his tongue across her clit. Her hips rose and her pussy clenched with the need to feel his hard cock.

  At the same time he suckled her clit, he put two fingers into her wet pussy. He found her sweet spot and his finger rubbed over it. Her hips bucked under his attention. Waves of heat raced through her veins. She was almost there when he pulled his fingers out and his lips leisurely kissed her pussy and tasted her juices. She was panting, and her pussy pulsed with unfulfilled desire.

  “Damn it. Take me.”

  “I will, soon.” His mouth explored up and down her pussy lips. His tongue darted into her opening again, building her desire to a raging need. She moved restlessly under him.

  He moved upward and his mouth closed on her breast, and he nibbled at her peaked nipple. She felt his fingers at her pussy opening, and then finally his hard, hot cock plunged deep inside. She raised her hips in greeting as he filled her hungry pussy.

  With her eyes blindfolded and her hands and feet tied, she was much more aware of every touch, every sound, every scent. Holt’s breathing sounded louder, his cock completely filled her pussy and pulsed against the sensitive inner walls. She breathed in his particular scent wi
th every breath she took.

  Nat moved her hips upward to meet his thrusts. She clenched her inner muscles and then unclenched them, stroking his cock. Her whole focus was on him and her as they came together. A feeling of total joy made her shiver.

  Holt held her tighter, his cock fully embedded, and his legs wrapped around hers. It seemed as though he wrapped her up in love. Who’d have thought her dangerous, annoying, tantalizing cowboy could open himself to her as he had these past months and risk showing her his feelings. They’d come a long way.

  “I love you,” she whispered in his ear. “I always will, forever.”

  He reached up and removed her blindfold. His eyes blazed with lust and love.

  “I love you, too.” He slowed his movements and watched her golden-brown eyes as his hands cupped her breasts and his fingers lightly pinched her nipples.

  A zing of pleasure shot up her spine. She kept eye contact with him and he moved faster inside her pussy. Her desire burned into a roaring furnace drowning her in a hot wave of euphoria. She threw back her head and her body trembled.

  “Mine,” he yelled as he brought them both to fulfillment.

  Holt managed to straddle her body and remove the soft restraints. “Was that too much?”

  “Wow, it was a lot of new sensations, but too much? I don’t think so. Maybe you can try harder next time.”

  He kissed her lips. “I love you.”

  “I’m not sure you do. But you’re close to convincing me.”

  “Watch out with the teasing. You may get more than you want.”

  “Never too much of my men.”

  “I see I’ve arrived late for the party.” Gray leaned against the door frame.

  “Not at all. Holt and I were heading to the shower. Want to join us?”

  “Are you up to it?” Gray asked. His eyebrow rose.

  “Are you?”

  Gray caught her up in his arms. “There’s another challenge.”

  Later that evening, Gray, Holt, and Natalie stood on the large balcony staring at the city lights. “This is the best spot in your condo,” Gray said.

  “It was one of the things that sold me on the place,” Holt said. “I’ve had one fantasy about this spot.”

  “Tell me,” Nat said. She was standing between him and Gray.

  “See that wide lounge chair?” Holt motioned toward the side of the sliding doors.

  “Yes.”

  “I’ve dreamed of making love right there with the stars overhead and the fresh breeze blowing across our skin.”

  Natalie gazed from one of her husband’s faces to the other.

  “I’m game, if you two are.” She whipped off her flowing gown. None of them had completely dressed.

  Holt and Gray didn’t move for a second. Then they stripped off their jeans, and Gray carried her to the lounge chair. She put her arms above her head and stretched.

  Gray grabbed her legs and spread them wide. He smelled her scent. “She’s ready for us. Aren’t you, darlin’?” His fingers separated her folds, and he licked down from her clit to her pussy opening. Holt straddled her upper body and ravished her mouth while his hands caressed her breasts.

  Her heart pounded, and desire filled every cell in her body. She reached for Holt’s hard cock and cupped his sac. “Let me taste you.”

  He moved forward, and she took his dick deep into her mouth. Her tongue licked the sides as she gently moved his balls in her hand.

  “Damn, sweetheart, I’m not going to last long.”

  Below, Gray slipped two fingers into her pussy and rubbed his thumb against her clit. Her body throbbed with love for her two men. She sucked and licked Holt’s cock as Gray did the same to her below.

  A wave of euphoria hit her as she heard Holt’s yell and tasted his salty release. He moved off her body and lay on another nearby lounge chair. He reached across the small distance and squeezed her hand before letting go.

  Gray slowly entered her pussy. She clenched around his large cock and moved her hips up and down, encouraging him to go faster, but he loved her slow and easy, driving her to a pinnacle of craving.

  She grabbed his butt and moved her hips firmly against his. Gray grinned and followed her lead, plunging faster and faster until her pussy rippled with gratification and pleasure. Her tight pussy clenched around him and sucked him dry.

  Holt lay to her right on the other lounge chair and Gray cuddled her in his arms in the wide lounge chair they occupied. A fine sheen of perspiration covered their bodies. The cool breeze brushed across their skin, and the stars twinkled in the dark sky.

  “You don’t think anyone can see us, do you?” Natalie asked.

  Gray rose on his elbow and smiled down at her. “It’s a little late to worry about that, darlin’.”

  Holt took hold of her hand. “Don’t worry. In front those thick trees keep everything out, and with our lights off even a plane wouldn’t see us. Remember I bought the place for privacy and checked it out.”

  “I’m a little cold,” Natalie said.

  Holt picked her up. “You need to rest. Tomorrow is the big court day.”

  Gray followed as Holt carried her to bed.

  * * * *

  The courtroom was full. The trial had been well publicized. Farther in front of them, Nat saw Tom’s parents. Nat’s dad, Boyd, and Sondra sat to the left of Holt. She sat between him and Gray. Most of the rest were reporters and the curious.

  Nat and Sondra had testified during the trial, Nat about how Ubel had tried to frame her for the murder. Sondra’s testimony had been one of the most damning for Ubel. Ubel’s cousin had also helped to leave no doubt that Ubel was guilty. The cousin had gotten a lighter sentence for his appearance in court.

  The judge banged his gavel and instructed the audience in the courtroom against making any loud noises or inappropriate behavior when he read his sentence.

  Then the guards brought in Ubel in his prison garb. He’d lost weight and didn’t look at the crowd.

  “Would Mrs. Callahan or Tom Newlyn’s parents wish to make any remarks?” He looked directly at Tom’s parents and Natalie. They all shook their heads no.

  “Then I’ll proceed.” The judge confronted Ubel with how he’d killed a colleague because of money and fear of jail. He mentioned his diabolical scheme to have someone else punished for his crime. Ubel was standing, but he didn’t look up.

  Finally the judge raised his voice to emphasize his words. “You are to be held in the state prison for the rest of your life with no chance of parole.” He banged his gavel and nodded to Tom’s parents before leaving the courtroom.

  Just as Ubel was being led away, he looked back at Sondra and Natalie. Hate filled his dark eyes. Natalie smiled and started to form the words “We won.” Holt put his hand over her mouth.

  “Why?”

  “Damn, honey, never taunt a mad animal, even in chains,” Holt said. “I suspected whatever you were going to say would make Ubel mad.”

  By this time the guards had taken Ubel out of sight behind closed doors. “I wanted him to know we beat him.”

  “Don’t worry. He knows. It’ll grate on him every day. He won’t ever be free,” Gray reassured her.

  “The man made my life hell, but then he did bring us together. Maybe I should write him a thank-you letter.”

  “Don’t you dare,” Holt and Gray said at once.

  “Natalie, may I speak to you?” Mrs. Newlyn stood at the end of their aisle.

  Nat made her way out and walked outside the courtroom with her. “I’m really sorry for your loss, Mrs. Newlyn.”

  “And I’m sorry for mistrusting you and urging the detectives to look at you for Tom’s murder. I was angry at you for divorcing him and mad because he was dead. In my mind he’d have been alive if he’d still lived with you. Crazy, I know.”

  Mrs. Newlyn glanced at Holt and Gray as they came out the courtroom door, but they stepped to the side to give them privacy.

  “Y
ou married Graydon Callahan.”

  “Yes.”

  “Part of me hated you because you had the courage of your convictions. You wouldn’t put up with Tom’s cheating. I never had that strength. I hope you’re happy. That your being strong was worth it.”

  “It was. I am happy.”

  “Good.”

  “Mrs. Newlyn, the insurance company contacted me about Tom’s policy. I’ve asked them to give the money to you.”

  She shook her head. “I don’t need it.”

  “I know, but you’re involved in a number of charities. I’m sure you’d know which ones needed the most help. You could donate the money in Tom’s name.”

  Mrs. Newlyn hugged her, and tears came into her eyes. “I was very wrong about you. Thank you.”

  Mr. Newlyn came to his wife’s side. He took her arm to lead her away. He didn’t speak but nodded at Natalie.

  “What did she want?” Holt asked.

  “To apologize.”

  “Did it help?” Gray asked.

  “It did. And she accepted the money for charity. I can completely close that chapter in my life. I had felt bad about her insinuations.”

  “Can we go home?” Holt asked. “Your dad said they’d see us in Triple Dare.”

  “It’s been a rewarding trip, in more ways than one.” She winked at them. “But I miss my baby. Let’s go.”
