Fathers had a harder time letting go and realizing that their daughters had matured, grown up but her mom had been a wonderful buffer.
She had no idea what sort of relationship Hank, Barry and David had with their parents and would love to meet them in the not too distant future. Being in the navy had made them the men they were today and while she didn’t begrudge the hardness that she sometimes sensed in them—because maybe by shutting down their emotions while they were fighting in a war had been the only way for them to survive such horrors she couldn’t even imagine—they had shown her how truly loving they were. She would need to be patient and not hold a grudge if they fucked up, just as she hoped they would do the same for her. She wasn’t a resentful person but she had a temper which was slow to build most times, but Hank seemed to know how to push her buttons. She had no doubt that her and Hank would end up arguing, but hopefully after they had cooled off, the making up would be phenomenal.
And then she remembered seeing humor in his eyes as he’d ordered her to rest and she’d stood up to him. He’d been pushing her buttons all right, the stinker. She wondered what it would take to make him lose that hard earned icy control he seemed to have wrapped around him.
Was she brave enough to find out?
Hell yes!
Chapter Ten
Barry was so happy he wanted to shout, but he ended up smiling instead. What he really wanted to do was make love to Cat, but he held back. He hoped she wasn’t tender after making love with Hank as she’d been a virgin and was no doubt feeling the loss of her virginity. He knew that because she’d never been with a man didn’t mean she’d still had a hymen. Being a physically active woman could disintegrate that piece of skin without her even being aware of it, but her internal muscles were probably aching since they’d never been used the way they just had before.
Cat reached out her hand toward him, and his heart fluttered in his chest. She gave him a soft smile as he clasped her hand, and then she turned toward David, clasping his hand.
“How are you feeling, darlin’?” David asked.
The smile on Cat’s face grew, and there was a mischievous sparkle in her eye. “Wonderful.”
“Did you like Hank making love with you?” Barry asked, although he was pretty sure what her answer would be.
“It was the most amazing experience of my life.”
Barry couldn’t hold in his chuckle of elation. Even to his own ears his voice sounded deeper and raspier than normal because of the hunger he had to make love to Cat, too, but he wanted to make sure she was comfortable and cared for. “Do you want a shower or bath, baby?”
“Normally I have showers, but right now a bath sounds wonderful.”
Her answer affirmed that she was probably more tender than she let on.
“I’ll go run the water,” David said as he released her hand and rolled from the bed.
“Come here, Cat,” Barry tugged her hand, bringing her naked body up against his. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her tight, and smiled when she let out a sigh of contentment.
“Where’s Hank?”
Barry lifted his head from the pillow and glanced about the room. He’d been so wrapped up in her he hadn’t even noticed when his older brother had left the bedroom. “He’s probably seeing to the chores.”
Cat frowned. “Shouldn’t you and David be out helping him?”
“No. Cat, you have to stop worrying about what we do, about the decisions we make unless they involve you. If Hank wanted or needed help, he would let us know. He’s just giving us some time alone with you like he had.”
“He didn’t have alone time with me. Both you and David where here when we…you know.”
“That may be so, but he had you all to himself. Don’t you understand how a ménage relationship works, baby?”
“How could I? I’ve never had a real relationship before. I don’t know what you mean.”
“We will all want to make love to you together, eventually.” Barry stared into her eyes, waiting for the penny to drop. He knew the moment it did because her cheeks grew pink.
“I don’t know… I don’t think… Ah!”
“Shh, baby. Don’t get all flustered.”
“How can you say that after putting those images in my mind?”
“Tell me what you’re envisaging.” Barry caressed his hand up and down her back. When he got to her ass, he gently squeezed both cheeks. She squirmed against him, and he had to bite the inside of his cheek to stop himself from moving faster. His cock was so damn hard it was throbbing and bobbing with each beat of his heart.
“What’s wrong?” David asked as he came back into the room.
Cat glanced up at David, her cheeks so red Barry knew if he touched them, they would feel hot. She ducked her head and used her hair as a shield.
“We haven’t been specific enough,” Barry replied.
“How so?” David sat on the side of the bed as he frowned toward Cat, who was still trying to hide her face.
Barry sat up, taking Cat with him, and although she tried to keep hidden, he wasn’t going to allow her to. Being up front was important, more so now than ever. He hadn’t realized she had a shy side to her until now, and although he liked it, he had a feeling it was because she was feeling inadequate over her lack of sexual experience. That he couldn’t allow. She’d been so strong after what she’d endured, but seeing her so uncertain had his gut tied in knots.
“Cat, look at me.”
She shook her head, and when he heard her sniff, he cursed under his breath. He hadn’t realized how vulnerable she was about her femininity until now, but he couldn’t understand it after the way she had responded to Hank as his brother made love to her. She’d been wildly responsive and had even tried to order his brother to give her what she wanted. That made him wonder if she was scared.
Barry maneuvered until his back was resting against the headboard of the bed then gripped her waist and lifted her until she was sitting in his lap. She tried to burrow her face into his neck, and he decided he needed David’s help so that she couldn’t hide from them anymore. He nearly sighed in relief when Hank entered the bedroom. He nodded toward Cat, letting Hank know without words that they had a problem.
David kneeled at Barry’s side and gently clasped Cat’s wrists in his hands before bringing her arms behind her back and restraining them in one of his large appendages. Hank stalked around the bed to his other side and threaded his fingers through Cat’s hair until he was holding her glorious tresses in a messy ponytail.
“Catalina, look at me,” Hank commanded firmly.
“No.”
Barry couldn’t contain his grin. She’d sounded like a petulant child and could just imagine her lower lip pouting, her face scrunched in anger and stamping her foot in a fit of temper.
“Do as I say, or I’ll put you over my knee and spank that sweet ass,” Hank ordered.
That did the trick. Cat lifted her head, turned her gaze toward Hank, and scowled at him. “You wouldn’t dare.”
“Oh that’s where you’re wrong, sweetheart. I would dare. That’s not a threat it’s a promise.”
Cat continued to glare angrily at Hank but was wise enough to hold her tongue.
“Why don’t you tell me why you were so embarrassed, baby?” Barry asked. He wasn’t about to let her avoid her fears. He needed to understand her better so they could allay any concerns she had.
“I’m not embarrassed,” she replied belligerently.
“You aren’t now because you’re angry at Hank, but as soon as I said we would all want to make love to you at the same time, your face went as red as a tomato, but I could also see fear in your eyes.”
“Talk to us, darlin’.” David kissed her shoulder. “We can’t alleviate your concerns if we don’t know what they are.”
Cat closed her eyes drew in a deep breath and lifted her lids to meet Barry’s gaze. His heart filled with warmth. He felt that he and Cat already had an affinity with eac
h other and hoped over time it would grow deeper and stronger. She had a connection with Hank, too, but David was going to have to work harder for the emotional connection with her.
He felt sorry for his younger brother. Barry could see the yearning in his eyes every time he looked at Cat, but didn’t seem to know how to reach out to her heart. David had lost a very good friend on their last tour, and although he blamed himself for Decker’s death, Barry knew that David had done everything he could to protect and save him. Decker had lost the plot and had moved before he was supposed to and had ended up getting killed. However, that was David’s story to tell.
“This isn’t going to work,” Cat blurted out and started to struggle against the hold David had on her wrists. “Let me the fuck go.”
David released her wrists and Barry quickly flipped her over so that she as lying across his lap with her ass in the air.
Smack.
“Aaahhh!” Cat screamed and started to twist and buck to try to escape.
“Stop!” David roared.
Cat stopped but only because she was shocked that David had yelled. She lifted her head and turned to look at David. Her gaping mouth and wide shocked eyes were a testament to that. He tethered her wrists behind her back.
“You’re being childish,” David said and knew by the way Cat’s shoulders slumped that she knew his brother was right. “We know you’re a strong and independent woman, Catalina, but fighting against us is just going to end up with you getting hurt.
“I couldn’t stand it if that happened. I watched my best friend die because he was angry and depressed, and there was nothing I could do to prevent it. However, I can and will do everything in my power to protect you and keep you safe and that includes even from yourself.”
Tears welled and trickled down Cat’s cheeks. David released her wrists and stood, threading his fingers through his hair with frustration. He took one step toward the bedroom door but stopped when Cat scrambled from Barry’s lap, stood, and wrapped her arms around David’s waist.
“I’m sorry.” She sniffed. “I don’t normally act this way. It’s just you are all so big and confident, and I have no idea what I’m doing.”
David wrapped his arms around Cat and pulled her up against his body. “You don’t need to know what you’re doing, darlin’. We just want you to be open and honest with us. That’s all.”
Cat drew back and stared deeply into David’s eyes. “I’m sorry about your friend. If you want to talk about him, I’m here when you’re ready.”
“Thank you, Cat.”
“Fuck!” Hank yelled as he leaped from the bed and ran toward the bathroom. “Who the fuck forgot about the bathtub?”
“Shit!” David turned toward the bathroom door with Cat still in his arms. “Want to help me clean up a mess?”
Cat giggled and nodded.
Even though Barry was happy that David and Cat were beginning to bond, he had a feeling his chances of claiming his woman had just gone out the window. He just hoped that it wouldn’t be too much longer before he could experience her sexy body pressed up against his, because he was getting a serious case of blue balls.
Hank appeared from the bathroom and frowned at David before walking out of the bedroom.
David, with his arm wrapped around Cat’s waist, guided her toward the bathroom. Barry was about to roll from the bed, get dressed, and help Hank with the chores but looked toward Cat when she called his name.
“Are you going to help us?”
Barry sighed with resignation and nodded. Once he was on his feet, he bent to pick his jeans up from the floor but stopped when Cat placed a hand on his arm.
“You won’t be needing those, cowboy.”
His half-mast cock twitched and began to rapidly grow. Maybe he would get what he needed after all—time to love and claim Cat so that she would belong to him.
* * * *
Cat couldn’t believe how immature she’d just been, but she’d never felt so embarrassed and vulnerable in her life. Well, that wasn’t exactly true, but she’d made a real ass of herself. The moment she’d entered the bathroom, her first instinct had been to grab the robe on the back of the door and put it on, but since there was water all over the floor, she would just end up getting it wet. It was time she grew a backbone and started behaving like the mature woman she really was, but first there was a mess to clean up.
David grabbed a stack of towels from the cupboard beneath the three-sink-long vanity and she took a few from him, knelt, and began to soak up the water. Thankfully, there was a grate-covered drain in the floor because that had no doubt saved the carpet in the bedroom from getting soaked.
She glanced over at David and Barry every now and then as they helped clean up the water, and when most of it was gone, she dumped the towels in the sink and began to squeeze out the excess moisture.
“Why don’t you let me do that, darlin’?” David nudged her aside. “I have more strength than you do.”
Cat nodded and stepped to the side. “I’m sorry.” She met first David’s and then Barry’s gazes. “I was scared.”
Barry came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. She sucked in a breath when his warm cock pressed against the top of her butt and lower back. She could feel it pulsing as it hardened. She looked up and met his eyes in the mirror.
“We would never do anything to hurt you, baby.”
Cat gulped and nodded. “I know that.”
“Then why are you scared?” David asked as he squeezed out the last towel before gathering them all up and dumping them into the laundry basket.
“Do you really need to ask that?” Cat asked in a quiet voice.
“No.” Barry kissed her neck. “I understand that the unknown can be a little frightening.”
“I have a solution to that.” David turned side-on to look into her eyes rather than through the mirror.
Cat knew she probably shouldn’t ask, but her curiosity was piqued. “What’s that?”
“You let us stretch you, and if you don’t like that, we won’t ask you for more.”
It was a fair suggestion, and before she knew what she was doing, she was nodding. “Okay.”
“Bath first, Cat. The hot water will help you relax and loosen your muscles.”
Cat nodded again and let Barry guide her over the rim of the bath and into the tub. David had let some of the water out so that it wouldn’t spill over the edge when they all got in. A sigh of bliss escaped her mouth as she sank into the still warm water. David must have had the temperature too hot because the water was the perfect temperature. Both men got in with her and sat beside her.
She reached for a bottle of shower gel and a sponge, but Barry snatched them out of her hands. “Let us take care of you, baby.”
She watched through half-slitted eyes as Barry soaped up the sponge before handing the bottle to David. “Close your eyes, sit back, and relax, darlin’.”
Cat wondered how she was supposed to relax when she was going to have Barry’s hands on her, but she needed to show them with her actions that she did trust these men. Especially after her previous juvenile outburst. So she took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
The moment the sponge touched her shoulder goose bumps raced over her flesh, but she stayed still and tried to remain relaxed. However, the more that sponge glided over her body the tauter her muscles got.
She moaned when Barry passed the sponge over her breasts, her nipples hardening and becoming sensitive. When David’s soapy hands began to glide over her stomach, hips, and legs, her pussy clenched and her clit began to throb. She had no idea how they did it, but every time they touched her, they set her on fire. Hunger coursed through her veins, heating her blood and making her ache deep in her womb.
“Do you like that, baby?” Barry asked, his voice deeper and huskier than normal.
“Mmm,” Cat moaned.
The water sloshed as David shifted next to her and then his hands were gliding up the inside of her t
highs. It took every bit of self-control she had to keep her ass in her seat and not arch her hips up toward his touch.
A hand landed on one knee and gently pulled it apart. Cat’s eyes snapped open to find both David and Barry watching her intently.
“Do you know how sexy you look when you’re aroused?” David shifted his gaze from her eyes to where his hand was moving up her thigh. The moment his fingers touched her pussy his eyes lifted to hers once more. He lightly pressed against her clit as he slipped a finger inside of her cunt.
“Oh,” Cat moaned.
“You like that, darlin’?”
“Yes.” Cat’s answer hissed out from between clenched teeth.
“We are going to make you feel so good, baby.” Barry’s voice drew her gaze, but her eyes flicked back to David when he removed his hands from her pussy. “Come here, Cat.”
“What?” she asked, not sure she’d heard right.
Barry lifted her from her seat and placed her over his lap so that she was facing him. A whimper of need emitted from her mouth when his hard cock brushed against her hungry pussy.
“I can’t wait anymore, baby. I need to be inside you.”
Cat nodded in wholehearted agreement. She needed him to quench the deep ache of desire throbbing inside her womb and cunt.
She clutched his shoulders as he gripped her hips and lifted her to her knees. “Guide me inside you, Cat.”
Chapter Eleven
Cat reached down, gripped the base of Barry’s hard dick, and brought it to the entrance to her pussy. The moment she felt the crown at her hole she pressed down, taking him inside of her.
“So fucking tight,” Barry groaned.
Cat thought it was a tight fit because his cock was so big, but she didn’t say so. Barry gripped her hips a little harder and began to guide her up and down his hard shaft, making them both pant and moan. When he was all the way inside of her, he wrapped his hand around the back of her neck and brought her head down for a kiss. She lost herself in the sensation of having his tongue sweeping into her mouth, rubbing along her tongue. He tasted so good, felt so amazing inside of her, her pussy clenched in agreement, making her gasp and him moan.
