Passion, Victoria 5: Nikki's Awakening (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting)

by Becca Van

  When she stepped through the doorway Bear drew her into his arms, hugged her and kissed her on the cheek then handed her off to Colt. Colt wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her tight against his body. She inhaled deeply and drew his light cologne and natural masculine scent into her nose. He kissed the top of her head and released her to Tony.

  Tony cupped her face in his hands and stared down into her eyes. “You look gorgeous, little one, and you smell good enough to eat.” He placed a light kiss on her lips and let her go.

  “Are you ready, baby?” Bear’s big hands landed on her shoulders. “Is everything locked up?”

  “Yes.”

  Bear moved until he was at her side and took one of her hands in his. Colt moved to her other side and did the same. They guided her to the dual cab, four-wheel-drive ute and Bear opened the back door for her. Then to her surprise instead of having to climb up onto the step, Bear grasped her waist and lifted her up onto the seat. She looked sideways at his face as she scooted over and then fumbled with the safety belt while watching his big, muscular body move as he too got into the truck.

  Colt got into the front passenger seat and Tony got into the driver’s seat. Nikki looked out the window, trying to gain control of her arousal as they drove from one side of Passion to the other. She had expected them to stop at the hotel but when they didn’t, she began to get curious. Ten minutes later Tony pulled the truck into the Passion Four Club’s parking lot and turned the truck off. Nikki released her safety belt and opened her door but before she could even put a foot out onto the side step of the truck, Tony was helping her down.

  “Thanks,” she replied, moving away from the vehicle and Tony, but she should have known better. He was at her side a moment later and slung his arm around her shoulders pulling her in close to his body. Instead of tensing up and pushing him away like she usually did, she sighed and leaned into him. Nikki was too tired to fight them at the moment.

  When they entered the club, she looked around and was surprised by how busy it was. Since the club was new, she had figured it would have taken longer for word to get out, but that was a small town for you. The gossip line never ceased to amaze her.

  After being greeted by the hostess and taken to a table, Nikki picked up the menu and perused it. She didn’t really see anything because she was having trouble concentrating. Tony had slid into the curved booth seat after her and Bear had moved in from her other side. She looked up to see that Colt was virtually sitting across from her. If he had a mind to, all he would have to do was reach out across the table to touch her.

  She was hemmed in and surrounded by male heat and couldn’t seem to catch her breath. Bear and Tony were so close their thighs were plastered against hers. She sighed with relief when asked by a waitress what they would all have to drink, Nikki decided that she needed a glass of wine to help her relax.

  “Have you decided what you want to eat, Nikki?”

  When she looked up at Colt it was to find him watching her intently. She sighed, glanced down at the menu again and then rattled off the salad she wanted to order for the patient waitress. The waitress turned and walked away, taking the menus with her and Nikki picked up her glass of wine to take a sip. She was too nervous to sit still and needed to do something with her hands. Colt pinned her with his gaze and no matter how hard she tried to break that connection she couldn’t.

  “What are you so scared of, Nikki? Why are you fighting this attraction?”

  Nikki licked her lips nervously and finally managed to glance away. She tried to figure out how the hell she was going to answer Colt’s question.

  Chapter Six

  Colt felt his brothers’ eyes on him and hoped like hell he hadn’t just ruined everything. Someone had obviously hurt her and he wanted to know who, why, and how. If he ever found out what had been done to her and by whom he was going to hunt that fucker down and beat the shit out of him. A woman shouldn’t be scared of how she felt, of the emotions she held deep inside or the passion simmering beneath the surface, but that was exactly what Nikki was feeling. Fear! Pure, unadulterated fear! But it wasn’t fear of them. She wasn’t scared that he and his brothers would hurt her on a physical level. She was scared they would hurt her emotionally. Neither he nor his brothers would ever set out to hurt her at least not on purpose. She was meant to be with them and if that meant forcing the issues she had, then so be it.

  Although he was happy that she had finally conceded to go out on a date with them, Colt knew the tenuous relationship they had with Nikki wouldn’t move forward until she talked with them, purged herself of all that fear and pain she had buried deep inside. He knew he was an impatient bastard but he was falling for her fast and didn’t know how much longer he could wait until he had her back in his arms.

  Colt watched with awe and admiration as Nikki crossed her arms over her chest and then tilted her little chin up. She met his stare with a glare of her own and frowned at him. “I’m not scared of anything. I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

  Oh yes you do, sweetheart, but you’re obviously not ready to talk about it yet. You will trust us one day soon, Nikki, but you will never get away from us.

  “Prove it,” Colt held her stare and nearly smiled when she lowered her arms to her lap and twisted her fingers together.

  “I don’t need to prove anything to you. Anyway I don’t know how you expect me to do that.”

  “Come home with us after dinner,” Tony immediately replied.

  Colt had been about to say the same thing but Tony had beat him to it. He met his older brother’s eyes for a moment and saw the gleam in them and when he looked at Bear he had the same gleam. Nikki was the sort of person who couldn’t resist a challenge and Colt hoped that right now would be the same. If she decided to call their bluff, he wasn’t sure what they would do next.

  “Okay,” she replied and then kept her gaze down as the waitress brought their order to the table and then left again.

  Colt tried to engage Nikki in conversation but she kept her answers to one word. She looked like a belligerent child as she pretended to eat her salad. Bear leaned down and spoke close to her ear but he heard what his brother said and had to hide another smile when Nikki scowled at him.

  “We’re not leaving until you finish that, so I suggest you start eating instead of playing with your food.” But he was pleased when she began to eat and she didn’t stop until her plate was nearly empty. By the time they had all finished with dinner, Colt’s cock was hard and aching. He just hoped that Nikki agreed to be with them tonight and didn’t fight the desire she felt for all of them. She may not even know it, but every time she didn’t think they were looking she would turn her gaze on one or all of them and look at them with such longing it made his breath catch in his throat, but what broke his heart was the vulnerability he could see in her eyes.

  If everything went according to plan, hopefully by the end of the night she would trust them enough to open up with them, but he wouldn’t be holding his breath. Nikki Sprite was a complicated lady and he couldn’t wait to peel all those layers back to get to the loving, passionate woman inside. If everything went well then she would be in their lives forever.

  Tony called for the check and after leaving the money on the table with a generous tip, they headed back out to the car. Colt surreptitiously adjusted his hard aching cock, trying to relieve the pressure of his tight crotch on his hurting length. If he didn’t get inside that sweet little body soon, he was going to end up with blue balls.

  When they arrived at their house, Colt headed straight to the kitchen to make the coffee. Bear and Tony had led Nikki into the living room and over to the sofa. Of course she had taken the end so only one of his brothers could sit next to her. That wouldn’t last long. He knew his brothers wouldn’t let her continue trying to hide from them. After bringing the coffee in and handing out the mugs, Colt decided talking would help alleviate some of Nikki’s stress and anxiety.

  “Wha
t made you start up an art gallery, Nikki?”

  “I love to paint and love art in general but after learning I wasn’t good enough to make a living from my attempt at art, I decided that this was the only way to be near the things I love. I thought I’d already told you that.”

  Colt just shrugged.

  “How do you know you aren’t good enough, baby?” Bear took a sip of coffee. “You should get another opinion. You’re too critical of yourself already.”

  Nikki sighed. “I have. I’ve had quite a few experts look at my work and they all said the same thing.”

  “What was that, little one?” Tony asked.

  “I just don’t have enough skill. I know what I want to put on a canvas in my mind. I can see how I want my paintings to look but my hand is too heavy.”

  “Well at least you get to do something you love. A lot of other people don’t.” Colt smiled.

  The dreamy expression and the soft smile which formed on Nikki’s face got Colt right in the heart. It took everything he had not to pick her up and kiss her stupid.

  “Yeah, I am lucky.” Nikki sipped at her coffee. “What about you guys? What made you buy this place?”

  “We served in the Air Force for years and got sick and tired of the travel and not having anywhere to call home,” Colt answered.

  “That’s understandable. It must have been hard moving around all the time,” Nikki said.

  “Sometimes,” Tony said. “Anyway, after we’d served out our time, we all decided to put down roots.”

  Bear’s voice drew Nikki’s attention. “Our parents owned a farm when we were kids and we loved working with all the animals and being outside, but when they were killed in a car accident and we found out the house had a second mortgage on it, and the bank was already in the process of foreclosing on the property, so we decided to sign up and serve our country.”

  “I’m sorry, that must have been hard on you all.”

  “It was,” Tony sighed. “But it was also for the best. Serving in the military helped us to get through our grief. Our days were so regimented we didn’t have to think too much. In the end being in the Air Force was a Godsend, but ten years is more than enough and it was time to get back to what we really wanted to be doing.”

  * * * *

  The conversation petered out and Nikki began to feel a little uncomfortable. Just as she was about to stand up and take her now-empty coffee cup into the kitchen, Bear reached out and took it from her hand and placed it on the coffee table. His large hand cupped her cheek and turned her head toward his. Nikki sucked in a breath when she saw the heated hunger in his eyes and her body began to respond to his desire. Her breasts swelled and her nipples puckered into hard peaks. She squeezed her legs together when her clit began to ache but that didn’t relieve the throb at all, it only made it more intense and juices began to leak out and dampen her undies.

  She whimpered when Bear’s lips met hers and then she sighed and opened her mouth when his tongue swiped across her lips. Then the hand on her face shifted and both his huge hands were on her waist. He lifted her up and placed her on his steel-hard thighs, all without breaking the kiss. One of his hands stayed on her waist and the other slid beneath her hair and cupped her neck. His long fingers pushed through her tresses and supported her head as he deepened the kiss. When Bear’s tongue pushed into her mouth and slid along hers, Nikki was lost. She felt like she was drowning in sensation and as if her body was melting from the inside out into one big pile of mush.

  The hand on her waist glided up over her side until it was on the outside of her breast. Her nipples began to ache and she wanted that large hand to move over and cover her flesh. She whimpered and arched, silently demanding more. He didn’t disappoint her because the next moment his whole hand enveloped her breast and began to knead it. Nikki groaned and pushed harder against him trying to elicit a firmer touch. Bear let go of her boob but then his finger and thumb plucked at her hard nipple causing her pussy to clench and gush more cream. She was so hot and turned on she wanted them all touching her, kissing and caressing her at the same time. A hunger she had never known surged up inside until she thought she would go crazy.

  “Please?” She whimpered against Bear’s mouth.

  Bear lifted his head and held her gaze. His lips were moist from their kisses and his eyes were blazing hot and directed at her. She couldn’t fight this anymore. Nikki wanted, no, needed, to know what making love with them all would feel like again, and without conscious thought found herself voicing those words.

  “Please, make love to me. All of you.”

  Without another word, Bear picked her up and carried her down the hallway and into a large bedroom. She glanced toward the massive bed and shivered. Even though she wanted this so much, Nikki just hoped she wasn’t making the biggest mistake of her life.

  Bear lowered her to her feet and she glanced toward the door when Tony and Colt entered the room. No one spoke, as if too scared to break the sexual tension, the sexual spell they seemed to be under. Bear’s hands stayed at her waist but he moved around behind her. Nikki kept her gaze on Colt’s as he stalked toward her. He cupped her face between his hands and kissed her. The kiss was so different yet no less arousing than Bear’s had been. Bear had started off slow and coaxed her, gradually deepening the kiss, but Colt was a “go and get ’em” kind of guy. He took what he wanted just like Tony did.

  Colt slanted his mouth over hers, again and again, kissing her hotly, wildly, hungrily, and she didn’t know how much more of the incessant ache she could stand. But then he broke the kiss and Tony stepped into his place.

  Tony stared deeply into her eyes for what felt like forever but was probably only a few seconds. He gave her tresses a slight tug and then he wrapped her hair around his wrist, leaned down, and kissed her. His tongue pressed into her mouth, tasted every inch of her and then brought it back to dance with hers. She was aware of the hands tugging at her clothes and when they were removed from her body, but she was lost in a passionate haze while Tony made love to her mouth. When he finally released her lips and lifted his head, she was gasping for breath and was pleased to note he was just as breathless. Nikki shivered as the cool air of the room washed over her heated, naked skin.

  “You are so damn beautiful, little girl.” Tony rasped. “I can’t wait to sink my cock into that hot, wet, little pussy.”

  Nikki shuddered but then squeaked when she was once more swept off her feet. Bear’s naked chest connected with her flesh and her insides quaked. He was so warm, big and muscular, and she loved the sensation of his bare skin against hers. She had no idea when he’d removed his shirt and didn’t really care. All that mattered was that these three men appease the interminable ache rising up inside her.

  Bear placed her in the middle of the mattress and when she looked at each of the Spencer brothers, she realized that all of them had removed their shirts. Their muscular, rippling bodies were a feast for her eyes and if she hadn’t swallowed the pool of saliva in her mouth she would have ended up drooling.

  Bear got onto the bed on one side and Colt got on the other. Tony climbed up from the end and placed his hands on her shins. He moved his palms up and down her legs, getting higher and higher with each stroke until he reached her knees and moved his hands to the inside of her lower thighs. Tony gently pushed her legs apart and Nikki let him. He caressed his way up and up and up, until his hands were mere millimeters from her yearning pussy. And then his fingers were there, right at the heart of her sex. He slid them through her drenched folds, causing the desire simmering inside to flame hotter.

  “You’re so wet, little girl, it’s like a swimming pool down here. You want me to slide my fingers up into that pretty little cunt, don’t you, sugar? You don’t need to answer me, Nikki, your body tells me all I need to know.” Tony slid a finger up into her tight sheath.

  Nikki felt a moan building up in her chest. Her arms were up over her head and she moved her head slightly to bite on the undersid
e of her arm. She clamped her teeth down, hoping the pain would help her concentrate on containing the sound.

  “I’ll bet you love the way my cock feels as it pumps in and out of your sweet little pussy, don’t ya, baby?” Bear leaned over her and licked across the tip of her nipple. “We know we’ve just started to tap into your passion, Nikki. We are not going to hurt you. Let it out, baby, let yourself go.”

  Nikki bit down harder on her arm. She was so close to releasing a moan, but she was scared of sounding too needy. She bit down so hard she tasted blood. Tears were leaking from her eyes as she tried to control her wayward body. Why did these men have such power over her? She didn’t want to have a relationship, did she? No, she wanted to concentrate on her career. She couldn’t get hurt if she worked all the time. She didn’t have the time or the inclination. She didn’t want to have another man in her life, let alone three, but she couldn’t seem to help herself.

  You’re lying again, Nikki. You want them as much as they want you.

  She wanted this more than she wanted her next breath. There was no way she could walk away from them. Somehow they were making her care and that scared her more than anything, but she would never admit to them how frightened she was to feel again. Never in a million years. If they were going to do this, it was going to be all about the sex and nothing more. Nikki was never going to set herself up to be hurt ever again.
