"Hold it," he ordered in the strongest voice he could muster. He was so close to coming. He reached around to pump at Jordan's hard cock with short quick strokes.
"Oh god, Jack," Jordan moaned against Katie. Jack knew the time was right.
"Come, come now both of you." Katie flung back her head and screamed. Jordan's cock thickened in his hand as sticky come spurted onto the bed. Jack closed his eyes, driving his cock feverishly into Jordan, pulling out a split second before coming over Jordan's back.
After bringing their breathing back under control, Jordan crawled up beside Katie and pulled her into his arms, kissing her deeply. Jack collapsed on her other side then took his turn to kiss her before pulling Jordan across to kiss him too.
"Wow." Katie glanced between the both of them. "I think I'm actually at a loss for words." She closed her eyes.
"I'll second that." Jordan nuzzled at her neck, an action of affection that Jack recognized.
Jack gave an evil laugh. "You won't be at a loss for long. There is no hot water and it's your turn to wash the sheets this week."
Jordan groaned before throwing a pillow at his head. Katie gave a chuckle between them.
"A good thing I don't live here." Jordan shot him a look across Katie's closed eyes, raising an eyebrow at her words. Jack shook his head. It was too soon for that.
"Sweetheart, everyone earns their keep here. You can cook breakfast. We're working today, remember. I'm not paying you to laze around in bed."
"Darn and I thought sleeping with the boss earned me special privileges." She opened one of her eyes. Jordan laughed, climbing off the bed and pulling her along behind him.
"You kids have fun." Jack watched them disappear into the bathroom before hearing her squeal.
"Fuck, the water's cold. You'll get yours, Jack!" Jordan yelled.
Jack chuckled. Yes, with little Katie things were definitely looking up. It had been a long time since Jack had felt optimistic about anything. It was a strange yet welcoming feeling. Jack decided for once in his life to enjoy it.
Chapter Twelve
Katie pulled her scooter around the back of her aunt and uncle's house, not quite knowing what to expect. Would her aunt admonish her for being out all night? It was just past one p.m. in the afternoon and she was dressed in one of Jordan's shirts.
Her teenage years had been filled with a lot of heavy responsibility. For the first time in her life she felt like a naughty child creeping home. The back door was open as she walked through. Her aunt was in the kitchen cleaning up from lunch.
"Aaaah, the prodigal child returns."
Katie flushed guiltily. "I'm sorry, Aunt Penny. I hope I didn't put you or Uncle Allen out."
"Katie, love, I think we should establish some ground rules. Come sit down. I'll make us a cuppa tea."
She obeyed, nervous about her aunt's ground rules. A few moments later she set two steaming cups of tea down on the table. Taking the seat opposite, she gave Katie a stern look.
"I want you to know that your uncle and I care very much for you. We both understand you have been through a hell of a lot more than anyone should ever have to go through. The biggest rule I want you to heed is, be careful. We don't want you getting hurt in any way."
"I promise." She truly did.
"Good, good. Now second rule. As long as we know you're alright, you can come and go as you like, love. You will always have a place here with us. We are your family and will always be here to help you in anything you need." Katie smiled in relief. She had been expecting chastisement rather than the freedom her aunt had given her. "This is your life. You're a grown woman. I want to see you out there enjoying it to the fullest." Katie gave a laugh of relief.
"Well, I think I actually am for the first time."
"Good--this brings me to my third rule, of which your uncle doesn't have to be privy to." Her aunt gave her a mischievous smile. "I'd love details of what you're getting up to, if you feel comfortable." Katie couldn't help but grin at her aunt, pulling her into a tight hug. Overcome with emotions, she had missed her mother terribly while living with her grandfather. Aunt Penny seemed to ease that lonely gap in her life.
"Thank you." Her aunt patted her back and Katie sat back down.
"So, tell me, did you have fun?"
Katie nodded, but wasn't sure about telling her aunt about both Jack and Jordan.
She decided to take the safe route and tell her about Jack Cullen, considering he was coming by tonight. She told her about meeting Jack and their date later in the evening.
"Henson and Henson, Lawyer, fifth floor. I hear he has a reputation with the ladies.
Did he live up to it?" Katie was shocked by the older woman's question.
"Don't look at me like that, love. I was young and wild once too."
Katie laughed. "Most definitely. He's more than just a reputation, though. It's a little facade he hides behind. He's actually a really nice guy." Sexy, dominant, and he turned her on quicker than a firecracker.
"I always had a feeling about him." Penny smiled. "And a second date tonight.
Goodness girl, do you have a dress?"
"The closest thing to a dress I've ever worn is that cleaning uniform," Katie confessed. Her aunt looked her over then stood up.
"Make up?" Katie shook her head. She didn't own any cosmetics. "This calls for a makeover emergency." Her aunt reached for the phone. "Stick with me, love, we'll have you looking so fabulous not a man on the planet could resist you." Katie laughed at her aunt's enthusiasm. She didn't want every man on the planet. Just two.

"You think it's too soon to ask her to move in with us?" Jordan was already missing Katie's beautiful smile, the depths of her blue eyes, her vanilla scent that made his mouth water, and the light musical quality of her voice. Sighing wistfully, he closed down his laptop. So much for trying to get his accounts done. He was not making any headway when all he could think about was the woman who drove him crazy.
"I would have thought you wanted to finish renovating the old Victorian before we do that, give her the choice of her own room." He watched Jack pick out a red silk tie.
Jordan sighed again.
"I suppose you're right. She might get the wrong idea if we move too fast." Jack's skillful hands finished knotting his tie.
"As if we haven't moved fast enough to get her into bed. I owe you one on that score.
Bringing her home was a stroke of pure genius." Jordan was enjoying Jack's fine form in his dark Brook Brother's suite.
"She didn't seem to mind even after we almost killed her." He and Jack shared a reminiscent chuckle. "Where are you taking her tonight?"
"Our lady deserves to be pampered. I made reservations at The Greenhouse in Mayfair."
"Katie doesn't strike me as one for fine dining."
"Thought I'd test the waters with a few things, I'll take her over to Rumba club afterwards. Join us there. I've already made sure we're on the guest list for tonight."
Jordan wasn't sure that was such a good idea. More to the fact, she was so unconsciously sexy she was bound to draw the attention of other men.
"This all a part of your brilliant plan to keep Katie? What about just kicking back on the sofa with a curry, beer, and movie?"
Jack raised an eyebrow at his tone. "We can do that once we make her a more permanent part of our lives. Relax lover." Jack walked to the bed and sat down, pulling Jordan to him to give him a reassuring kiss.
"I don't want to screw this up, Jack. I love both you and Katie. I just don't want to lose her now that we've found the perfect woman for us." Jack didn't seem the least bit surprised by Jordan's confession.
"We won't screw it up. We just have to stick to the plan of charming her till she's head over heels." Jack ran his hands up over Jordan's chest. "I know I couldn't resist your charm."
Jordan didn't miss the affection in Jack's tone. Jack had never verbally confessed to loving Jordan, but he felt it.
Despite Jack'
s confidence, Jordan couldn't help worry that something was going to go wrong.
"Are you coming tonight or not?" Jack leveled his gaze at him.
"As if I'd let you have all the fun." Jack got off the bed, moving to the closet to grab his jacket.
"There's still a lot we don't know about her. This will give me a chance to know her better. Find out what she's hiding."
Jordan straitened, defensive of Katie. "What makes you think she's hiding something?"
"She's certainly not telling us everything."
"And you expect her to after only knowing us a few days. I haven't heard you pour out your life story either, mate." Jordan got off the bed, walking out of the bedroom, annoyed with Jack's arrogance. Jack followed him into the kitchen; Jordan didn't miss the distressed look that flashed in Jack's expression. He always held a part of himself back. Jordan was now worrying that part of Jack could damage everything he held close to his heart.
"I don't understand why you can't tell me about your past. Don't you trust me Jack?"
Jack's face went blank. He put on a mask to hide his feelings.
"It's complicated," Jack mumbled, looking at his watch. Jordan grabbed a beer out of the fridge in frustration. "I don't have time for this now."
Jordan stared at the man he loved. He never had time to talk about it. Jordan knew if he pressed the issue, it would end up in an argument.
"See you later tonight." With that, Jack walked down the hall. Jordan heard the door open and close. He hoped now that they had Katie, Jack would finally start to open up more.
~ * ~
Penny Myers was grinning as her approving gaze swept over Jack. Allen Myers glared at him like an over protective father, making him feel like a petulant youth on his first date.
"Lawyer, huh?"
"Yes sir, work with Henson and Henson downtown."
"Isn't that the place you work, Pen?" Allen glanced at his grinning wife.
"Yes, dear. Jack, I trust you'll take good care of our Katie. She's very special to us, especially considering all she's been through in her life." Jack was about to question Penny Myers more on the subject of what Katie had been through when Penny's gaze moved up the stairs. A proud smile lit over her mature face. Jack's gaze followed hers. His jaw dropped. All the blood from his brain and every other part of his body went strait into his cock.
Fuck! He was screwed.
A ruby red dress clung to Katie's every lush round curve. The sleeves were light chiffon just covering the scars on her right arm. Black stockings highlighted the beautiful long legs, her feet were encased in one inch heels as she carefully navigated the stairs.
A smile lit her beautiful face; those red lips he loved to kiss were accentuated with the same colour lipstick as her dress. Black mascara highlighted her naturally long eyelashes. Her hair shone in a halo of golden curls.
Jack was torn between wanting to yell at her to go back upstairs and put her jeans and T-shirts back on, or possessively displaying her to the whole of London, showing them that no one could ever or would ever touch his beauty. Damn, she was so fucking sexy. She reached his side and looked up at him as if waiting for his approval.
Penny leaned over.
"You can close your mouth now dear."
Jack regained his senses long enough to find his voice. "You are breath-taking, Katie." How could one woman addle his brain so much? Katie beamed at him. There was no way in hell he was bringing her back here tonight.
"Thank you, Jack."
Jack regained his wits and offered his arm to Katie.
"Good evening to you, Mrs. Myers, Mr. Myers," he acknowledged them both before guiding his beauty queen out of their home.
Jack opened the car door for her; she flashed him a sexy grin before getting into the seat. Jack jogged around to the driver's side. Once inside Jack couldn't resist any longer.
"You really know how to drive a man out of his mind, don't you kitten." He reached across, slipping his arm around her waist. Katie blinked at him innocently. He pulled her across his lap to take her mouth in a hungry kiss.
"I thought that was supposed to happen after the date?" she said in a soft husky tone which told him she was just as aroused as he was.
"You're just too irresistible." Katie shoved at his chest, squirming on his dick and making him groan.
"Oh no, you promised me a date and I want one. Dinner, dancing, the works."
Mischief danced in her blue depths. He set her back in her seat.
"As you wish, kitten. I just hope I don't get arrested in the state you've put me in, and don't blame me if I shoot off anyone's head who even looks at you because, damn kitten, I know they're going to look." She gave an adorable snort.
"The date was your idea, so if you don't want to go through with it I'm sure I could find..."
Jack growled, no way in hell. "Don't even think it. You're ours now." Maybe Jack was getting a bit too heavy handed and possessive. Despite the worried expression he saw flicker across her face, Jack saw a little shiver of excitement run through her. If it was a date she wanted, she'd get the best darn date of her life. Jack pulled away, buckled his seat belt and started the car.

Katie was trying her hardest to relax, but the hungry looks Jack kept giving her across the table kept her on edge. Her new lingerie was already soaked through, and her nipples strained against the black lace bra under her dress. Jack continued his seductive onslaught with every smile, every flirtatious comment, and every caress of his hand.
"Relax, kitten, you look like Little Red Riding Hood about to bolt at the sight of the big bad wolf." He grinned wolfishly.
"Well, stop being the big bad wolf," she shot back. Jack chuckled.
"All the better to eat you my dear and I know just how good you taste." She felt the heat flush her cheeks.
"I think you can drop the seducing act, Jack. You already know I'm pretty much a sure thing when it comes to you and Jordan."
"Yes, but for how long?"
She blinked, giving him a blank stare. She hadn't thought passed having fun with Jack and Jordan. Jack leaned forward, picking up on her hesitation to answer. "What are you looking for, Katie? What is it you want in your life? What is it you want to do?"
No one had ever asked her such questions before. So far she'd been nothing but a victim of circumstance. What she knew so far is what she didn't want. She didn't want to live with the constant nightmares. She didn't want to be tied down or be the victim. Perhaps the better question was what did Jack and Jordan want from her?
Words like 'our' 'mine' and 'belong' made her uncomfortable, especially in reference to her.
Despite the rapid physical and emotion attraction, Katie had a growing suspicion they wanted more than just a casual sex partner. She took a swallow of wine, recalling Jordan's words " We have been looking for that special woman who will accept and love us both for who and what we are."
"You don't have to worry, Jack. I'm not looking for a happily ever after. I just want to enjoy myself, nothing more." She couldn't look Jack in the eye. It was becoming more and more a struggle to stay emotionally detached; she realized she could be in serious danger of falling for these two men.
"Nothing more?" He echoed her words like he didn't quite believe her. "Very well, if it's fun you want then fun we can give you. Just promise me one thing, Katie."
Katie frowned. She had learned when Jack called her by her first name he was being serious.
"What's that?"
"That you don't seek sexual fun outside of our company."
"Why would I promise that?" Not that she wanted to. Deep down she felt she could never feel as satisfied as she had with these two men.
"First off, you have only sampled a few of the pleasures we can bring you. Secondly, we are both safe and for the most part reasonably sane. If it's fun and experience you want, then you need not look any further, and at the end of the day we look out for each other. You have our friendship and trust."
; The last part of Jack's argument seemed to clench it for Katie; she wanted friends and needed to trust someone. She already felt she could put her trust in Jordan, but Jack seemed a different matter.
"And can I trust you Jack?"
He looked her in the eye. "I think you and I have more in common than you think. We both have a past we would rather forget." Jack was very sharp on the uptake. With his astute mind, she understood why he was a lawyer. But now she was more curious about Jack's referral to his past. It obviously had not been pleasant either.
Katie studied the man in front of her. It seemed he was trying to figure her out, just as she was him. A small smile turned up the corner of her lips.
"Alright, you've convinced me. I'll stick around for a while. But if you start getting all clingy, then I'm calling it quits."
Jack laughed loudly, drawing a few heads in the restaurant. "You'd be slaying them dead if you were born a man, kitten. For one I'm grateful that you weren't." He raised his glass to her. "Here's to friends and fun."
She tipped her glass in acknowledgment. There was more going on behind those handsome dark eyes of Jack's, but Katie was determined not to let that worry her now. She finally relaxed and enjoyed Jack's company.
Chapter Thirteen
Jordan balanced a giggling, intoxicated Katie on his shoulder as Jack opened the door.
"You weren't meant to get her drunk, Jack. How are we supposed to take advantage of her now?"
"Oh, very easily, my friend."
"How about I take advantage of you two," giggled Katie, as Jordan carried her down the hall. "Mmmmm, you have a fine ass." Jordan felt her hands down his back, tugging at his shirt.
"Shush you." He tapped her bottom. "She'll still be tender from last night." Jordan warned. He glanced over at Jack who was removing his jacket and tie. "I'll put her in my room for the night."
"But I wanna sexy sex weeed sexys mans."
"She knows what she wants," Jack said with a sly grin.
"Am I seeing double or are there two of you?" Katie broke out in another fit of giggles at her joke.
"She's drunk, and won't retain anything we do tonight. You really want that?" Jordan asked. He could now see Jack regretting the action of allowing her to drink too much.
