“Okay,” she said. “But I hope you guys know I’m willing to try anything for you.”
“We know, sweetheart.” Dustin kissed her, and Annalise was lost in a familiar sea of heady anticipation as her men led her to Chad’s bedroom. She never grew tired of them. “Annalise needs a birthday spanking, don’t you think?”
Chad picked up the wooden paddle and slapped it against his palm. “Oh yeah. Definitely.” Her clit throbbed as his gaze roamed over her. “How old are you now?”
“You know how old I am.”
“Yes, I know. But I want to hear you say the number.”
“Why?”
“Because you’re getting one swat for each year.” He slapped the paddle against his palm again. “From each of us. For starters, that is.”
As if she could remember anything as inconsequential as her age when she was naked with these two and about to be paddled.
“Thirty-five,” said Annalise. “I’m thirty-five years old today. But that means you two intend to give me seventy swats. That’s a lot.”
Chad grinned and sat on the edge of his bed, then motioned her over with his finger. “Over my knee, birthday girl. You’ll take this and like it.”
She’d had more than seventy swats total in one play session from them, but it was more fun to pretend she was apprehensive about it. She stood in front of Chad, letting her gaze travel to his dick. It was already slick, and she never failed to marvel at the size of it. Both men were incredible and knew how to use the gifts God had given them.
“Eyes up here,” he said.
“Can’t I look, sir?”
“Only if I give you permission to do so. Arms behind your back.”
She put her arms behind her back and Dustin snapped on their new favorite handcuffs. They’d bought them recently, and Annalise loved them because they were neoprene and so comfortable she could wear them for long periods of time without needing a break. And for that very reason, the guys loved them, too.
Dustin helped position her over Chad’s left knee so that her ass was up in the air. Chad pinned both her legs with his right thigh, and brought the paddle down hard on her ass cheeks. “Count.” His voice was so commanding that Annalise moaned.
She didn’t think he’d give her thirty-five swats in a row, as they usually gave her frequent breaks during long impact play sessions, but he did. Her ass was on fire, and she was panting by the time he reached twenty, but she didn’t want to use her safe word. She hadn’t had to use it once since the first time the three of them had come here. She wanted to take this for them, because she was in love with them and would do anything they wanted her to do, and because it was so erotic to be at their mercy like this.
Dustin stood close, and when she turned her head toward him she was rewarded with the sight of him stroking his cock. She loved to watch him do that, and knowing he got off on watching Chad punish her and fuck her only added to her arousal.
Annalise floated above the scene, her clit throbbing with delight as Chad continued his paddling. The pain was intense, but so were the tiny contractions in her pussy as she pushed against his muscled thigh with each swat.
She whispered the last few numbers because her entire body was trembling with the exquisite combination of pain and pleasure and she could barely breathe let alone speak. As she lay draped across Chad’s knee, her breathing fast and shallow after he reached thirty-five, she heard the sound of a condom wrapper opening.
She thought he’d help her up, but instead he moved his right leg and told her to spread hers apart a bit. She did as he asked, and then he shifted her slightly so that she was lying at an angle, her ass pointed toward Dustin. She cried out as Dustin plunged his dick into her swollen pussy. Chad massaged her ass cheeks as Dustin fucked her. They’d never done anything like this to her before, and Annalise loved it.
Dustin reached under to play with her nipples, and Annalise exploded in a crazy orgasm that just kept going as Dustin’s thrusts became faster and deeper. One of them inserted a wet finger into her ass, and then Dustin pulled out of her pussy and slipped his dick into her asshole. Chad continued to massage her ass cheeks the entire time. Annalise was out of her mind with need. This was so intimate and decadent at the same time. And when she realized it might be repeated after Dustin paddled her, she groaned loudly as another climax began to build.
Dustin pulled out before he came, and as she’d hoped, the men switched places. Chad helped her lay over Dustin’s knee and he pinned her legs as Chad had done, then he told her to count as he started to paddle her.
She struggled to keep counting as the pain intensified. It was the most swats they’d ever given her in a row, and it was also the hardest she could remember them hitting her. Sweat dripped from her body as Dustin neared the end. When he finally finished, tears ran down Annalise’s cheeks. Dustin moved his right leg and shifted her torso slightly askew again. Chad put on a condom and plunged his dick into her pussy.
“Your earrings are sparkling in the candlelight,” said Chad. “They’re so sexy. You should wear them all the time when we’re fucking you.”
She couldn’t even answer him. All she could do was enjoy his hard, deep thrusting as Dustin massaged her bruised ass cheeks. When Chad switched to fucking her asshole, she moaned and pushed her clit against Dustin’s thigh, desperate for one more climax. It was just as intense as the first two, and Chad waited until she’d finished before he pulled out.
They untied her and she used the bathroom, then they pulled her into their arms and held her as they stroked her hair and back.
“Will you do one more thing for us, Annalise?” asked Dustin.
“Anything,” she whispered.
“On your knees then.”
She sighed and dropped to the pillow Chad tossed on the floor, placing her arms behind her back without being asked to. She knew what her men liked.
Dustin chuckled as he fastened the cuffs around her wrists again. “We don’t even have to ask.”
“I know.” Chad’s voice held a note of awe, as if he couldn’t believe it. The words bubbled up in Annalise’s throat. It would be so easy to look up into his eyes right now and tell him that she loved him.
Both men stood in front of her and took turns teasing her lips with the heads of their dicks. Each one held the side of her head so that she couldn’t move it, and she loved that. She was totally at their mercy, forced to submit. She almost came just from being in that position.
They took turns fucking her mouth. The fact that they both loved it made it even more erotic for Annalise. When they each came, hot cum shot into her mouth and on her face. She wished they could do it again. She wanted them to cover her with their seed.
After they took the cuffs off, she crawled between them on the bed and took turns licking the rest of the cum off their dicks while she used her fingers to finish her climax. As she drifted off to sleep, she thought she heard each of them whisper something, but she convinced herself it had only been a dream.
* * * *
Dustin lay awake in the dark for a long time after Chad and Annalise had fallen asleep. He didn’t find it surprising at all that both men had whispered “I love you” to Annalise at nearly the exact same time. Had she heard them? She had stirred a bit and Dustin thought she had heard at least one of them, but now he was convinced she’d already been asleep.
He leaned over and kissed her gently on the head. “I love you, Annalise.” Then he crawled out of bed carefully, taking care not to wake Chad. The man never slept, so Dustin didn’t want to wake him. He grabbed his khakis off the floor and carried them into the kitchen.
They should have told her while she was awake. They should have told her how much she meant to them, and that they wanted her with them forever. But how would she accept such an arrangement?
He’d seen the look in her eyes earlier when Chad was paddling her and she’d glanced up to find Dustin pulling his own chain. She knew that it turned him on something fierce to watch Chad
fuck her, or do anything to her for that matter. Susan had also known he loved to watch. But Annalise wasn’t Susan. This wasn’t the same thing. She wasn’t going to leave him for Chad. She wasn’t taunting him or teasing him with Chad.
Dustin leaned his elbows on the counter and sighed. But what if she did? What if she didn’t really want him? What if she only enjoyed watching him get off on seeing Chad make love to her? She’d never showed favoritism for one man over the other, but could he really expect a woman as full of life and fun as Annalise to bind her existence to two men?
Dustin pushed away from the counter and glanced around the kitchen. What was he doing in here in the middle of the night? He should crawl back into bed and hold Annalise. What the hell was wrong with him?
His eye caught his cell phone on the counter where he’d left it. He should take it back into the bedroom with him in case Hannah called. She had suggested that Dustin invest in an answering service, but he just couldn’t bring himself to do that yet, so they took turns being on call after business hours, and she was on call tonight.
She’d organized an e-mail list that was sent to their patients’ owners and any Racy resident who wanted it that gave them the on-call schedule. Even though that now meant that their patients’ owners had both cell numbers and their on-call schedule, a few of the residents still preferred to call Dustin regardless.
Just before he started to walk back down the hallway toward the bedroom, he checked it for messages. There was only one, and it was from Susan again. This was getting out of hand. This time, the voice on the message sounded emotional, as if Susan had been crying as she’d left it. And, it contained information that made the hair on the back of Dustin’s neck prickle.
Susan and Todd had split up. Susan was back in Racy, and she wanted to see him.
Dustin stared at the phone for a long time, trying to fight against painful memories. He didn’t give a crap that Susan and Todd the Asshat had split up. And he most certainly had no reason to see her again. In fact, he didn’t even want the voice mail message on his phone any more than he’d wanted the other ones on there. He deleted it without another thought.
There was no fucking way he’d sleep now. Dustin mixed himself a drink and went into the living room and turned on the TV. Chad wouldn’t mind him drinking the booze, and he’d gladly replace it if he did. There was a movie on but Dustin looked right through it. He couldn’t stop picturing all the pain and humiliation that Susan had put him through. She’d had a ridiculous amount of nerve calling him to begin with, but this was simply too much, asking to see him.
Was she back in Racy for good? That would totally suck especially now that he’d finally summoned up the courage to tell Annalise that he loved her.
Dustin snorted and then took a sip of his drink. He hadn’t actually told her. At least not when she could hear him, anyway. He needed to do that, especially now. Dustin didn’t want Annalise to find out that Susan was back before he had a chance to tell her. He didn’t want her thinking his declaration of love had anything to do with his ex-wife returning.
A cell phone buzzed and Dustin glanced at his, but it wasn’t ringing. He rose from the sofa and followed the sound. It was Chad’s, and the text message was from Sean. Thinking it had something to do with police business, he tiptoed into the bedroom and shook Chad awake. “You have a text from Sean,” he whispered.
Chad shot out of bed as though he’d never been asleep. He scooped his pants off the floor and Dustin followed him out to the kitchen. As Chad pulled his pants on, Dustin was struck once again by the similarity between them. Dustin could also spring out of a deep sleep and race down to the clinic or out to a farm at the drop of a hat. He imagined Chad was used to waking up quickly from being on call all the time.
Chad frowned as he read the text, and then he made a call. “Hey, what’s going on?”
Dustin strolled back into the living room and tried again to watch the movie. He heard Chad speaking, but he wasn’t listening to the words. When Chad walked into the room, Dustin became alarmed at the look on his face.
“You are not going to like this.”
Dustin stood up. “What happened? Is someone hurt?”
Chad shook his head. “Sean just got called to Luke’s Bar. Susan was in there drunk off her ass and making a fuss because no one would tell her where you are. Luke tried to throw her out and she refused to go, so he called Sean.”
“Fuck.” Dustin shut off the TV and drained his drink. “I found a voice mail message from her just a moment ago saying she was back. How the fuck long has she been here? And why?”
“Is she with Todd?”
“No. She and the Asshat split up.”
Chad shrugged. “Well, so what? I mean, you don’t care, right?”
“Hell no.” Dustin stared at his best friend for long moments. If someone had told him a month ago that soon they’d be sharing a woman in and out of bed, Dustin would have handed that person his balls. There was no way he ever would have been able to handle this before now. Some days he didn’t even know how he did it without jealousy consuming him, but it struck him at that moment that he was handling it, and also that he wanted things to keep going as they were.
But he had to tell Chad how he felt about Annalise. Chad felt the same way. He’d heard him whisper the same words. They needed to talk about this, and now.
Chapter Nineteen
Chad watched the emotions cross Dustin’s face, and then he walked back into the kitchen and grabbed a beer from the fridge. He took a seat on the sofa next to Dustin. “Okay. Spill it. What’s on your mind?”
“Chad, I love Annalise. I’m crazy in love with her. And I heard you whisper it to her as well.”
Chad nodded and took another sip of beer. Shadow walked into the room and jumped into his lap, turning her emerald green eyes up toward his face. He absently stroked her back. “Yep. You did indeed.”
This was too easy. Chad couldn’t help but wonder when the other shoe would drop. Nothing in his life had gone this smoothly. Annalise was not only every fantasy he’d ever had rolled up into one curvy, sexy, gorgeous bundle of laughter and fun, but she spent all her free time with them as well. It was almost unbelievable. He only wished they’d both explained that the earrings were a symbol of much more than just a birthday present.
They’d discussed it extensively before deciding to drive to Chicago and buy them. They wanted her to understand how much she meant to them, and that they wanted her with them forever. But neither man had actually said the “L” word during those discussions. It had been implied but never spoken. So how could she have understood the emotions they’d meant to convey with the present when they couldn’t even bring themselves to tell her how they felt while she was awake? They were both pathetic cowards.
He glanced at Dustin. The poor guy looked ready to jump out of his skin. What shit luck he had that his ex-wife had decided to move back here now just when he’d finally been able to admit how he felt about Annalise. Well, that shouldn’t matter. Susan couldn’t hurt Dustin, not unless he allowed her to. Susan’s moving habits didn’t have to change a thing for Dustin.
“Dustin, we have to tell Annalise how we feel. Both of us. She must think we’re nuts to spend that kind of money on a birthday present. I want her to understand what she means to us.”
Dustin shook his head. “But what if she doesn’t feel the same way?”
She had to feel the same way. She just had to. He wouldn’t be able to handle it if she didn’t “Maybe she does. I mean, I’m hoping like hell she does. Maybe she’s just as scared as we are, and that’s why she hasn’t said it. But sometimes…oh hell. I don’t know. Sometimes I swear I can see it in her eyes. At least, I think I can. Then again, maybe it’s just wishful thinking, you know?”
Dustin ran his hands through his hair. “No, there are times I think I see it, too, but then I ask myself why she’d love a guy like me. And now Susan is back. Dammit, Chad. Why the hell did she come back here? It’s
not her fucking home.”
“Maybe she came back for you? She’s been calling you for weeks.”
“Well, fuck that. I don’t want her.”
“I’m glad to hear you say that.”
Anger flashed in Dustin’s eyes. “What? How can you think for one minute that I want her back?”
“I don’t. But you’re going to have to confront her and make sure she knows that.”
“Why?” Dustin picked up his glass, staring at it as if he couldn’t quite believe it was empty. “Why do I have to do that?”
Chad took the glass from him, picked up Shadow and placed her in Dustin’s lap, then walked into the kitchen and made Dustin another drink. When he returned to the living room he handed the drink to Dustin. “Because if you don’t, you won’t be able to finally put it behind you and give Annalise the love she deserves.”
Dustin took a long sip, and then fixed Chad with an intense stare. “And what about you? Have you let go of your past? Can you love Annalise? I mean really love her, as in happily-ever-after love?”
Chad had to avert his gaze. “I do love her that much. As for the past, I’m working on it.”
“Chad, that’s bullshit and you know it. This won’t work unless we’re both able to walk away from the past and give all our attention to Annalise.”
“I know that.” Sometimes Dustin’s irrefutable logic irritated the crap out of Chad.
“So tell me how to help you.”
“You can’t. I have to do this on my own.”
“What’s standing in your way?”
“I’m afraid, okay?” Chad took a deep breath. He’d done it. He’d finally said the magic words. “I’m scared shitless.”
“Of what? Telling her? Talk to me.”
Chad wasn’t sure how to put his fear into words. Dustin knew everything about him and his family, but what he didn’t know was that inside, Chad still felt like that scared twelve-year-old kid most days. How could he tell him that? He’d told Annalise he was over his past, but he wasn’t. Not completely.
