“Your kitchen is a dream. You have a beautiful home,” Debbie said as she walked over to the table and sat. “Thank you for my tea.”
“You’re welcome, honey.”
“Do either of you ever use that kitchen?”
“Sure we do, baby. We can cook. We had to learn to be self-sufficient. We couldn’t stand having to live on takeout all the time,” Britt replied.
“Well, at least it’s not going to waste.”
“You’re still a little pale. Are you feeling okay, honey?” Daniel asked.
“Yes, I’m fine. Just tired I guess. It’s been a long night.”
“That it has. Why don’t you go and crawl into bed? You’re exhausted,” Britt avowed.
“Yes, I will,” Deb replied and rose to her feet. She picked up her mug and rinsed it, leaving it in the sink. “Well, thank you for coming to help me. Good night.”
“Sleep well, honey,” Daniel called.
“Night, baby,” Britt said.
Debbie walked down the hall to her temporary room and closed the door with a sigh. She stripped off her clothes and rummaged in her bag for a nightgown. She sighed with frustration when she realized she hadn’t packed one. Instead she had packed two camisoles. As she slipped one over her head, she smiled at the coincidence when she realized it matched the mauve on the wall. She slipped into bed and turned off the bedside lamp and was asleep moments later.

“Shit, Britt. I’ve never been so scared in my life. I thought for sure when the call came through Glen Parker had gotten to her,” Daniel said and ran hand down his face in frustration.
“Yeah me, too, but burglary’s not his usual MO. I can’t believe she confronted the burglar. The fact she got hurt tears me to the bone. We’re going to have to try and get her to move in here with us. I don’t want her living alone anymore. That bastard could come back for her anytime. Did Luke find any prints on the lock or cash register?”
“No. He had to be wearing gloves. Deb said she thought he was wearing a balaclava too, so she didn’t see his face. All she told Luke was that the bastard was big. God, I want to protect her from the world and never let her leave the house again,” Daniel said with a sigh.
“Yeah like that’s going to happen. She hates being told what to do. She’s too wary of men since her ex hurt Leah, to let her guard down,” Britt stated.
“When she looks at you I can see sadness in her eyes. She looks so lonely and vulnerable, but when you look at her she tries to be so calm and cool. God, I want to take her in my arms and just hold her. I want to take that loneliness away.”
“She looks at you the same way,” Britt said. “I want her to open up with us. I want to know everything about her. I want to know her hopes and dreams and make them come true. I want to know about her family and what her favorite foods are, and I want her to drop those walls she’s enclosed her heart in.”
“Well, at least we know what her favorite color is. You should have seen her face when she walked into her room. Her eyes lit up and her whole face was filled with joy when she saw her room for the first time. She looked so gorgeous. My cock is so hard and I swear my balls are turning blue. I love the fact she wears lavender, she smells so good I just want to take a bite out of her,” Daniel said on a groan. “Shit, now I’m going to have to jack off just so I can get to sleep.”
“Me, too. Do you think she knows we decorated that room for her?” Britt asked.
“No. She has no idea, thank God. If she did she would have been out the door in a shot. I’m going to bed to get a couple of hours’ sleep. I have a feeling tomorrow’s going to be a long day.”
“Yeah, I hear ya. She’s going to insist we take her home again,” Britt predicted.
“Yeah, but you and I know that’s not going to happen,” Daniel said with a smirk. “G’night”
“Night.”
Daniel had just settled into bed when he heard the first scream. He was up in a flash, had his gun in his hand, and was in Debbie’s room before he took his next breath. He scanned the interior and hid his gun in the waistband of his boxers when he realized Debbie was dreaming. He flicked on the bedside lamp and reached for her. He cradled her against his bare chest and tried to wake her gently.
“What’s wrong?” Britt asked as he entered the room. His brother’s hair was still damp from his shower.
“Nightmare,” he answered. “Wake up, honey. Come on, you’re safe here.”
Daniel was glad he had such lightning-fast reflexes as he ducked her flying fist. He gently took her hand in his and held on to it so Debbie couldn’t hurt herself. Britt sat down beside him and Deb. His brother took her free hand in his and began to gently rub her back. Slowly, the tension in her body released and she stopped trying to fight him and Britt. She slumped against his chest, and he felt her tears trickling down his bare skin.
“I’m sorry,” she whispered.
“You have nothing to be sorry for, honey. Take a few deep breaths and relax, Deb. You’re safe here with us. We won’t ever hurt you. I promise. Are you okay now?” Daniel asked.
“Yeah.”
“Good,” Daniel replied and lifted her back onto the bed. He covered her up and sighed with relief that her body was now nearly completely out of sight. His balls ached, and his cock was fully erect. He didn’t want her to see how hard he was, so he reached over and turned off the bedside lamp and then stood.
“Don’t.” Her quiet whisper reached his ears.
“Don’t what, honey?”
“Please don’t leave me. I don’t want to be alone.”
Daniel knew she had no idea what she was asking of them, but he couldn’t leave her when she was so scared. He sighed and prayed he would be able to keep his libido under control. He slid the gun out of his shorts and placed it on the bedside table.
“Scoot into the middle, honey,” Daniel said then climbed into bed. She snuggled up onto his chest once he was settled in the bed on his back. He wrapped an arm around her and pulled her in closer. He felt the mattress move as Britt climbed in as well. She sighed, and Britt cuddled up to her back. His brother accidentally brushed his side with his hand.
“You’re safe, baby. Close your eyes and go to sleep,” Britt said.
Daniel knew the moment Debbie had drifted off to sleep again. The last of the tension in her body was gone, and her breathing deepened. He knew he wouldn’t be able to sleep a wink with her body plastered along his. He sighed and tried to relax but only tensed even more when she threw a leg over his hips, her thigh resting on his throbbing dick. He was just glad it was only a couple of hours until dawn. He didn’t know how long he could stand the torture of lying beside her without being able to love her. It was going to be the longest couple of hours he had ever endured. He knew his brother was suffering just as he was when he groaned as Debbie wiggled in her sleep. On the other hand, as excruciating as this was, she was exactly where they wanted her for the first time. He just hoped they could convince her to stay.
He and Britt had met Debbie nearly six months ago, after they moved to Slick Rock from Phoenix, Arizona. He had known in that instant she was the woman they had been waiting for. Before they began courting her, he and Britt had often slipped questions about Debbie into conversations with Seamus and Connell O’Hara. Leah, too, had told them quite a bit about Debbie Newsome, but not enough to satisfy his curiosity. He wanted to know so much more, and he knew Britt did as well.
They were going to have to be careful with her and not push her too hard or too fast. He didn’t want to give her any reasons to run from them when her history already made her skittish. He would never do or say anything to make her feel uncomfortable about her past. He and his brother had had countless women over the years, and he wouldn’t feel right if she asked him about the previous women in his life.
Those days were over, though. Even if it was way too soon to go declaring his feelings for her, he was in love with her already. This room was hers as far as he and Britt
were concerned, and he couldn’t wait to have her living here permanently.
Chapter Six
Debbie stared at the expanse of tanned muscular chests on display. Her clit throbbed and she gulped in reaction as she devoured Britt and Daniel with her eyes.
Debbie managed to lift her gaze from them and looked at the clock on the dining-room wall. She gasped when she saw the time. It was 10:00 a.m., and she couldn’t believe she had slept so late. Of course she knew why she had, but she still felt guilty. She had never been one of those people who could sleep to all hours.
She hesitated in the doorway. Neither of the men had bothered to put shirts on. She gulped at the sight of their naked skin. They were both sipping coffee and chatting, unaware of her presence. She was about to duck back around the corner and hide in her room, but her movement must have alerted Britt to her presence. He looked up and pinned her with his blue eyes.
“Hey, baby, come on in. Do you want coffee?”
Debbie didn’t think she would be able to answer without her voice squeaking, so she just gave a slight nod. She couldn’t help but stare at Britt’s broad chest, muscles moving and striating beneath his skin as he grabbed a mug from the cupboard and poured her some of the dark brew out of the pot. He walked toward her, slid his large, warm hand down her arm, and took her hand in his. He led her over to the table, placed the mug down, and pulled a chair out for her. When she was seated she wrapped her hands around the mug and looked into the coffee. She didn’t want to be caught ogling him and Daniel and she knew she wouldn’t be able to keep her eyes from wandering over their naked chests, so she kept her eyes lowered.
“How are you feeling, honey?” Daniel asked from beside her. She speculated on whether Britt had purposely placed her in the empty seat between him and Daniel.
“Fine, thanks,” she replied and cursed the sound of her own breathless voice.
“Are you sure, Debbie? You’re looking a little flushed,” Britt said, and then placed his palm on her forehead. Debbie jerked back from the unexpected touch and then felt her cheeks heat, embarrassed about overreacting.
“Look at me, baby,” Britt requested gently.
Debbie lowered her eyelashes even more and shook her head, refusing to meet his eyes.
“What’s wrong, baby? Have we done something to hurt you?”
Again she just shook her head. She felt Britt’s thumb and finger on her chin, and he lifted her face up to his.
“Do we make you uncomfortable, Deb?”
Debbie opened her mouth to deny it, but then changed her mind. “Yes.”
“Why?”
“You don’t have any shirts on,” she replied.
“Why does that unnerve you, baby?” Britt asked. “I’m sure you’ve seen lots of men without their shirts on.”
“Because I can’t keep my eyes off you,” Debbie muttered truthfully. She felt her cheeks heat even more when a slow smile spread across Britt’s face. He let go of her chin and took her hand in his. He gently pulled her from her chair and onto his lap.
“I don’t mind that you want to look at me, baby. You can touch me if you want,” Britt rumbled.
Debbie lowered her head, using her unbound hair to hide her heated cheeks. She yearned to touch him and Daniel so much, but she knew if she did it wouldn’t stop there. She squirmed slightly on his lap, trying to ease the throb in her clit. She felt her liquid arousal seep from her pussy to dampen her panties. She froze when she felt the bulge under her ass and didn’t want to move in case she aroused Britt further. She felt one of his large, muscular arms wrap around her waist, and then he tilted back gently so that her head resting on his shoulder.
She looked up when he brushed the hair back from her face and stared at her. Her pussy clenched at the heat she saw in his eyes, and she was lost, drowning in the depths of the blue pools.
“You have no idea how beautiful you are, do you?” Britt said. She shook her head minimally as he lowered his head toward her. She sighed at the first contact of his lips. She had waited for this ever since the night of the cookout at Leah’s.
She moaned when his tongue licked over her flesh and opened up to him. His tongue swept into her mouth, and she drowned in liquid desire. Her womb felt heavy, and her body temperature shot up as she slid her tongue along his. He tasted so good. She knew she would never be able to get enough. His shoulder moved, and his fingers stroked along her neck as his mouth devoured hers. It was a kiss that would forever be embedded in her mind. It was so carnal, but also soft, gentle, and loving. She whimpered in protest as he removed his mouth from hers and stared down at her. The fire in his eyes was nearly enough to frighten her, but it also made her crave more of him.
Debbie turned her head when she felt Daniel’s touch. She saw the same intensity in his green eyes she had seen in Britt’s. He reached down and plucked her off Britt’s lap and held her against him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist. She closed her eyes when he leaned down and kissed her. Her body was tense with need but also boneless with desire. She clung to him as their lips met and opened up to let him ravish her mouth.
Even though they were brothers their kisses were totally different. It surprised her that Britt’s kisses were gentler than Daniel’s. He coaxed and asked for a response, where Daniel demanded one. To her it was a contradiction to their personalities, but no less arousing.
She mewled in the back of her throat when Daniel sucked her tongue into his mouth. When he released her muscle, he nipped at her bottom lip. She couldn’t get close enough to him and tried to bury herself against his body. Her hips moved, and she moaned when she felt his hard cock come in contact with her aching clit, beneath her clothes.
“I want you so damn much, honey. Will you let me make you feel good?” Daniel asked, his voice raspy from his arousal.
Debbie hesitated to answer. She wanted, needed them both to touch her, but she knew as soon as she gave them permission, things would change between them irrevocably. They would never be able to turn back the clock. She whimpered when Daniel thrust his hips into hers. The contact of his cock to her pussy made her cunt gush more cream. She was on fire, and she knew only Daniel and Britt could quench it. She was thankful Daniel didn’t try to sway her decision in any way and finally closed her eyes and nodded her head.
“Open your eyes and look at me, honey,” Daniel said quietly. When she did what he asked, he held her gaze with his and carried her to the kitchen counter. He placed her butt on the stone bench top, and then his fingers were at the waistband of her jeans. Her button popped open, and then he lowered the zipper. She looked up to see Britt moving over to them and knew this was what she wanted. This was what she had been waiting for.
“Lift up, baby,” Britt said. His hands steadied her waist, and she held on to his large biceps while Daniel pulled her jeans and panties down her legs and off. She gasped as the cold of the stone bench made contact with her naked skin.
“God, you smell good, honey. I can smell your cream from here. Open up for me, Deb,” Daniel rasped as he gently separated her thighs. “I need to taste you, honey.”
“Fuck. Your bare pussy is gorgeous, baby. Lift your arms and let me get your shirt off,” Britt said. She lifted her arms as he took the hem of her T-shirt in his big hands and pulled it over her head. “God, I love what you wear beneath your clothes, Deb. You’re so sexy.”
Debbie whimpered as Daniel wrapped his arms around her thighs and held her legs wide. He lowered his head and flicked his tongue over her clit. She leaned back on her arms and closed her eyes. She felt Britt flip open her bra clasp, and her breasts spilled free. Daniel wrenched a cry from her when he slid his tongue down through her folds and caressed her pussy. Britt’s lips closed around one of her hard nipples. She mewled as he began to suckle on her breast. She was so hot for them she was close to climax already. Her cunt clenched as heat traveled from her breasts down her belly, into her womb, and pooled in her vagina.
“You taste so
good, honey. I want you to come for me. I want to taste more of that sweet cream of yours,” Daniel rasped in a deep voice.
Debbie sobbed when Daniel slid a finger into her pussy, easing his way in until he could go no farther. He laved his tongue over the sensitive, engorged bundle of nerves at the top of her slit and lapped her clit, over and over again. He began to pump his digit in and out of her sheath, and Debbie let her head drop back as waves of pleasure rolled over her. She cried out when Daniel added another finger to her pussy and glided them in and out, creating a pleasurable friction against her inner walls. Tingles traveled up and down her body and gooseflesh rose up all over her naked skin.
She felt Britt’s hand in her hair, and he lifted her mouth to his and kissed her with openmouthed carnality. Her limbs began to shake, and she was on the verge of climax. The muscles of her pussy gathered into a tight coil, and with one more sweep of his tongue over her clit, Daniel sent her careening out into space. She screamed into Britt’s mouth as stars formed before her eyes, and Daniel kept thrusting his fingers in and out of her pussy, enhancing her pleasure until the last wave finally died away.
Britt took his mouth from hers and rubbed a soothing hand over her belly. Daniel lifted his head from between her splayed thighs and caressed her legs. She had never felt such an explosive climax before. She knew then and there she was in danger of losing her heart to the two men who had just given her so much pleasure. Daniel stood up, and she couldn’t help but see the huge bulge in his jeans. She looked over to Britt and saw his cock was hard, too. Her pussy clenched, and she couldn’t believe just one glance at their crotches had her embers flaring again. She wanted to reach out and rub her hands up along the lengths of their shafts but was too shy to make that move. She didn’t know what to say or how to react now that they had touched her.
“You are the sexiest woman I have ever met,” Daniel said as he looked into her eyes.
