“She’s asleep, but she’s not resting properly.”
“What do you mean?” Cal asked.
“She dreams a lot. Doesn’t stop twitching and moaning.”
“Damn! I wish we could do something to make her relax more.”
“Yeah, me, too.” Finch sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. “But she is a lot better than when she first started.”
Cal nodded.
“If you’re going to snuggle with her, just make sure you don’t wake her up.”
“I won’t.” Cal entered her bedroom and walked over to the bed. He’d had the urge to check on Jewel just to make sure she was okay. After slipping his boots off and placing them out of the way on the floor, he got up on the bed and lay down beside her. He smiled when she shifted in her sleep, turning over until she was on her side, and she threw a leg over his, resting her head in the crook of his arm and shoulder with her hand resting on his chest.
He hugged her against him and breathed in her clean, light, floral, feminine scent. When she whimpered in her sleep, he lifted his head to look at her face. Finch was right. Jewel didn’t sleep peacefully at all. Although she was half-relaxed against him, he could feel it when she tensed up and frowns kept crossing her beautiful face.
Cal reached up with his free hand and brushed a few strands of hair that had escaped her ponytail off of her face. Her skin was so soft, smooth and warm, it made him wonder about other parts of her body. Even though her breasts were mashed up against his side and chest, he wanted to touch them without any shirt or bra in the way, but of course, he kept his hands to himself. There was no way he would betray her trust and touch her inappropriately while she wasn’t aware of what was going on.
He pulled her against him tighter when she whimpered again, and then he startled when that whimper changed to a blood-curdling scream and she bolted upright.
Cal pushed himself up into a sitting position and ran a hand up and down her arm and over her back. “It’s all right, Jewel. You’re safe here.”
Her cry cut off and she looked about the room as if she were still in a daze and trying to shake the remnants of the nightmare she’d been caught in. When she turned her head toward him and he saw the tears glistening on her eyelashes and trailing down her cheeks, his heart broke for her.
“Are you with me, darlin’?” he asked in a quiet, calm voice, not wanting to spook her any more than she already was.
“Cal?”
“Yes, honey. It’s me.”
“Oh God. I’m sorry.”
Cal grasped her arms and waited to make sure she wasn’t going to flinch away from his touch, and when she didn’t he half lifted, half tugged until he had her in his lap. He scooted back until he was resting against the headboard and sighed when she slumped down on him, her face buried into his neck. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her close. “You have nothing to be sorry for, Jewel.”
“I screamed, didn’t I?”
“What’s wrong?” Ash asked as he hurried into the room, Heath and Finch right behind him.
“Jewel had a nightmare.”
“Are you okay, sweetheart?” Ash asked as he sat on the side of the bed.
“Uh-huh.” Jewel’s reply was muffled.
“Is there anything we can do to help you, baby?” Finch asked.
“Um…” She shook her head.
“You didn’t sound too certain of that, honey,” Heath said as he climbed onto the mattress.
Cal nudged her chin up so he could see her face, and what he saw in her eyes made his heart flip and he gasped in a breath. “Talk to us, darlin’.”
“I don’t want to remember his mouth and hands on me anymore. I just want it all to go away,” she whispered.
Cal heard the desperation in her voice and couldn’t stand seeing or hearing her pain. He lowered his head, brushed his lips back and forth over hers and groaned when she opened her mouth to him and clutched at his hair. He angled his mouth over hers, pressed his tongue in and tasted her the way he’d been dreaming of doing. She tasted better than any other woman and he couldn’t get enough.
He swirled his tongue around hers and his hands began to move up and down her body, following the contour of her curves. His hands stilled when they got to the outside of her breasts, and when she arched her chest out in silent supplication, he couldn’t ignore it. While his mouth continued to ravage hers, he cupped her breasts and moulded them with his palms and fingers.
Jewel mewled and broke the kiss to gasp in air. Her eyelids lifted and she looked at him through half-closed, passion-heavy eyes.
“We want you, Jewel,” Cal rasped. “Will you let me and my brothers touch you?”
“God! Yes!”
He kissed her reverently on the lips and gave her a gentle smile. “Thank you, honey. You won’t regret it. I promise.”
She didn’t give him a chance to say any more, because she grabbed hold of his shirt and tugged him down. Her attempt at kissing him was innocent, yet so full of passion his hard cock jerked against his zipper and pre-cum leaked from the tip. Her tongue pushed into his mouth, making him groan.
* * * *
Jewel’s whole body was aching with a deep need and it felt like liquid fire was pouring through her veins and melting her from the inside out. She’d never been so damn hungry for anything in her life, and even though she was an untutored virgin, she didn’t care. Nothing mattered but relieving the throbbing deep in her core and feeling their hands and mouths on her.
Cal took over the kiss, his tongue thrusting deep before coming back to glide along and swirl around with hers. She whimpered with denial when he broke the kiss, but when he gazed at her body with lust, but also emotion-filled eyes, she began to tremble with desire and the inside of her grew hotter.
His hands went to the hem of her T-shirt and she lifted her arms, giving him silent permission to take it off. He whipped the material up and over her head before flinging it aside. He growled low in his throat, and when she looked at him, she found him staring at her lace-covered breasts. Her nipples hardened even more, her pussy clenched and juices leaked out.
“So fucking sexy,” Cal whispered.
“Beautiful,” Ash said in a hoarse voice.
Heath moved in closer and behind her. She felt his fingers on the clasp of her bra. “Let’s get this off of you, honey.”
Heat rose in her cheeks, but she nodded her compliance and held her breath as her bra sprang apart, her breasts spilling from the cups. Heath caressed the straps from her shoulders and down her arms and she saw the bra fly across the room to land on the floor. He shifted behind her and then pulled her back until she was resting between his legs and leaning on him.
Cal never took his eyes from hers as he reached out and tugged at the button on her jeans and slowly lowered the zipper. He manoeuvred down the bed and tugged her socks from her feet, then his fingers slid beneath the waistband of her jeans and began to pull them off of her hips. She lifted her pelvis and held her breath when she felt her undies being removed with her pants and once more held her breath as four sets of male eyes roamed over her naked body.
“You’re stunning, baby.” Finch almost growled his words.
Heath brushed her hair aside and began to nibble on her neck and shoulder. She gasped when zings of pleasure shot down to her pussy, eliciting a mewl from her. “You like that, honey?”
“Yes,” she sighed. She hadn’t realised she’d closed her eyes, but they shot open when she felt two hands cupping and weighing her breasts.
“You have the best tits I’ve ever seen.” Cal groaned.
Jewel whimpered and arched when his hands enveloped her breasts and began kneading and moulding them. The whimper turned to a moan when he flicked his thumbs over both of her nipples.
“I have to taste these little beauties,” Cal rasped and then he leaned forward, swiping his tongue over first one tip and then the other.
“Oh,” Jewel gasped.
“Does that feel goo
d, honey?” Heath asked, and then sucked on her neck just below her ear.
“More!” she cried out when Cal sucked her nipple into his mouth, drawing on the throbbing tip firmly before switching to the other one.
Finch cupped her cheek, turned her head toward his and then covered her mouth with his. She was on sensation overload with Heath licking and nibbling on her neck, Cal sucking her breasts and Finch kissing her.
She startled when hands landed on her legs and she felt the mattress dip in two places as the men shifted around her, but they didn’t stop touching, kissing or sucking on her flesh. Then her legs were separated further and the hands on her legs caressed from her shins up her thighs until they were scant inches from her pussy.
Finch broke the kiss and then licked a path down to her other breast, laved the tip with his tongue and then suckled on it. She sobbed with pleasure when Ash stroked his fingers through her soaked pussy and she cried out when he lightly rubbed over her clit.
“So fucking responsive,” Ash whispered, and then she moaned when she felt his warm breath on her cunt. “You smell so good, sweetheart. I have to have a taste of that sweet honey.”
Jewel barely had time to register his words before his mouth was on her. He nibbled on her bare labia and his tongue swirled around her hole before he thrust it in as far as it would go. She squeaked when he withdrew it but then groaned as his tongue licked up through her folds and over her clit. She bucked her hips and then cried out when he sucked her engorged pearl into his mouth.
“Look at me, honey,” Heath demanded.
She turned to look at him and barely had time to draw a breath before he leaned down and planted his mouth on hers. When a finger stroked into her cunt, she mewed and writhed with pure blissful sensation.
“So fucking hot and tight.” Ash groaned. “You taste so good, sweetheart.”
Jewel tried to stay still, but she couldn’t when she was experiencing so much, and then she once more cried out when her pussy stretched even more and she realised Ash had just added another finger.
Her pussy clenched and dripped cream, and when Ash began to flick the tip of his tongue over her clit and pump his fingers in and out of her sheath, she began to rock her hips.
Heath lifted his mouth from hers and once more began to suck and lick on her neck and earlobe.
Each time the four men touched, kissed and licked her, the muscles in her body became tauter. Ash drove his fingers in and out of her cunt, faster, harder and deeper. Her pussy rippled and the fire inside began to rage out of control.
She sobbed and panted, her hips swaying back and forth faster. And then she was on the edge of something so astonishingly ecstatic, her breath froze in her throat and lungs for an infinitesimal moment.
Her breath left her lungs on a cry of nirvana as her body was flung into a joy she’d never imagined was possible.
The inner walls of her cunt clenched and released, only to repeat the cycle over and over as she was assailed by glory. Her body trembled and vibrated and cream dripped from her pussy as Ash continued to pump his fingers in and out of her vagina until the last quake waned.
“That was the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen,” Heath whispered against her ear, causing her to shiver as his breath caressed her sensitive skin.
Finch and Cal released her nipples and ran their hands over her arms, shoulders and torso. She whimpered when Ash withdrew his fingers from her soaked pussy and she met his hungry gaze. He sat up between her legs and gave her a wicked smile as he wiped her juices from his face with his hand.
“Are you on the pill, sweetheart?” Ash asked.
Heat filled her cheeks and she looked away as she shook her head.
“Look at me, Jewel,” Cal commanded.
She met his gaze briefly and then glanced away again. He gently grasped her chin in his hand before making her meet his eyes again.
“You don’t need to be embarrassed with us, darlin’.” He leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. “You can talk to us about anything. Okay?”
She nodded.
“Are you a virgin, baby?” Finch asked.
“Yes,” she whispered.
“Thank you for trusting us, sweetheart.” Ash rubbed her belly with his hand. “Don’t worry about contraception, we’ve got you covered. Although we’ve never had sex without a condom before, you can rest assured that we are clean. We were all tested just over twelve months ago and we haven’t had sex with anyone since.”
“You haven’t?” Jewel was more than a little shocked to hear that these four sexy, handsome men had been celibate for so long.
“No, honey, we haven’t.” Heath kissed her shoulder.
“How come?”
“Because we were waiting for the one woman we could build a life with,” Finch said.
“And you are the one we’ve been waiting for,” Cal said as he stared into her eyes.
Jewel felt the wall she’d kept up around her crumble a little more, and as she looked into each of their eyes, she was sure she could see more than lust in their depths.
However, it was so hard for her to trust, and although she wanted them all to make love to her more than taking her next breath, she was going to try and keep some of herself back so she didn’t get hurt like she had every other time she’d associated with other people.
But she wasn’t sure she was going to be able to keep herself from getting burnt.
Chapter Eight
Ash was already well on the way to falling in love with Jewel and could see that his brothers were, too. Although she’d let down some of the barriers she had in place to protect herself from getting hurt, he could still see that she was holding back.
Yes, she’d told them about her childhood and what that fucker had done to her, and even though she’d let them pleasure her, she was still wary. It was like she was just waiting for him and his brothers to hurt her before she took off again.
But he wasn’t about to let her do that, not if he could help it. They were going to have to do everything they could to make her realise they could have a wonderful, loving relationship and that the last thing they wanted to do was hurt her. Maybe by having sex with them on a regular basis, she would become more attached and open her heart up to them.
He glanced at Finch when he nudged his arm and was glad that his brother had brought him from his introspection. He took the condom Finch handed him and tore the pack open with his teeth. After placing it on the bed, he rolled to his feet, tugged his shirt up over his head and unsnapped his jeans.
He nearly groaned when Jewel licked her lips and she watched avidly as he lowered the zipper and pushed his pants and boxers down before kicking them away.
“Oh. My. God.” Jewel gasped and covered her mouth with her hand.
“What’s wrong, darlin’?” Cal asked.
“He’s so…so…big.”
Ash crawled back up onto the bed until he was hovering over her. “You don’t think I’d hurt you, do you, sweetheart?”
“N–no. N–not on purpose.”
“I promise you won’t feel any pain, Jewel. Do you trust me?” As he asked his question, he leaned forward until his forehead touched hers.
“Yes.”
Ash felt some of his anxiety dissipate. She hadn’t hesitated and had answered him straight away, and in that moment, he knew that she was already theirs. She was a virgin and hadn’t allowed any man to touch her in a sexual way, at least not willingly. There was no way she would have let him and his brothers make her come or make love to her if she harboured any reticence.
Jewel was a strong, brave woman and knew her own mind. He and his brothers had already seen that in her work. Now all they had to do was convince her that she could be as confident in her own femininity, her own sexuality, and that they wouldn’t try to change her.
Heath shifted out from behind her and rolled off the side of the bed. Cal and Finch also got off the bed. He didn’t need to look around behind him to know that his brothers
were giving him and Jewel some space for her first time. He heard them walk over to the sofa and sit down.
“Are you ready for me, sweetheart?” Ash needed to make sure she was on board with him all the way. There was no way he wanted her to feel she had to do this if she didn’t want to, but so far she’d been with them every step of the way.
“Yes, Ash. I need…I want you to make love with me.”
And she’d just given him another clue that she wasn’t in this for just the sex. She’d said “make love,” not fuck or sex. His heart filled with joy. As he lowered himself onto her so that his body was pressing into hers from chest to knee, he made sure to brace most of his weight on his arms and legs.
“Why did you move away?” Jewel asked.
“We didn’t want you to feel crowded and wanted to give you some one-on-one time with Ash,” Cal answered. “We’ll be right here, waiting to make love to you, too, darlin’.”
“But…”
“But what, sweetheart?” Ash asked before he began to nibble on her neck.
“I thought you all wanted to be with me,” she replied breathlessly, but Ash also heard disappointment in her tone.
“Do you want my brothers on the bed with us, Jewel?” He kissed her lips and licked down her chest toward her breasts.
“Um…I–I…Yes.”
“I’m glad you told us what you need, sweetheart. You are in control of what happens here.” Ash laved her nipple and smiled when she mewled.
“I am?” she asked breathlessly.
“Yes, baby,” Finch replied as he got up on the bed beside her.
“Do you want one of us to hold onto you like Heath did before?” Cal asked as he knelt on the bottom of the mattress.
“Yes.”
“Sit up, baby,” Finch ordered.
Ash moved back so that Jewel could sit up and Finch immediately manoeuvred in behind her and drew her back against him after getting comfortable.
“All right?” Finch asked as he cupped her breasts and tweaked her nipples.
“Yeah,” Jewel gasped.
Cal and Heath shifted alongside of Jewel, and as they settled, she reached out to clasp one each of their hands. Ash hoped she wasn’t too nervous, but when she met his eyes and then her gaze wandered over his body, pausing on his condom-covered cock before meeting his eyes again, she looked downright eager.
