Returning with a warm rag, he gently wiped away the remnants of his orgasm, throwing the rag on the floor when he was done, but not before the others saw the rag. An audible gasp came from his brothers. The secret was out.
They all knew.
Chapter Seven
Levi stared at the rag on the floor, trying to comprehend what he was seeing. Nevertheless, no matter what equations ran through his head, none of the solutions added up. She was a mother. She said that Ethan was her son. How could a twenty-nine-year-old woman with a child be a virgin? The only logical explanation was that she lied, but she had never lied to him, ever. If anything, she was forthright and honest to a fault.
Turning his attention to her, he stroked her cheek and questioned, “Cami?”
Duke sat next to her, holding her hand, while Jake rubbed her leg. Nelson sat next to him, his hand trailing lightly over her stomach.
“I told you guys that I was in trouble. I just never said how much trouble,” she whispered.
“Tell us now before we go any further,” Jake firmly said.
“Ethan is technically my brother. Mom died giving birth to him. Since he was born, I’ve raised him and loved him as if he were my own. When he started calling me mom, I never corrected him. I was technically old enough, and everyone already thought he was mine anyway, so I just let everyone believe what they wanted. After a while, even my dad believed it. Please don’t tell Ethan. It will tear him apart to know the truth.”
“Baby, we don’t even know the truth, not until you explain it to us,” Duke said in a soothing voice.
“I guess everything started the night we left. I didn’t understand why Dad was so insistent, and when I asked to go say good-bye to you all, he got angry. Really angry. It was the first time he ever hit me. I don’t think he meant to, but he did and said I was never allowed anywhere near you guys again. It broke my heart to leave, but I didn’t have any other choice. Dad told Mom and me to grab what we needed, and that night we left. We drove around for a long time, sleeping in motels along the highway. I didn’t know where we were going, because Dad took so many long routes. I thought we would never stop. We finally did, somewhere in Alabama. Everything was so strange, and Dad never let Mom or me leave the house. He said it was for our own protection, and though I wanted to believe him, I knew he was lying. He lied about everything after that.
“Mom was sick from the start. She was tired all the time, and when she wasn’t sleeping, she was in a lot of pain. I told Dad she needed to see a doctor, but he wouldn’t let her. He said she made her bed, and she could lie in it. I didn’t understand why he was being so callous to her. My whole life, all I ever saw was the love between them, but how he treated her after was just awful. Then one night, everything turned horribly wrong.
“There was so much blood. I couldn’t stop it. I screamed for Dad to help, but he left, leaving me to take care of her. I did what I could, and when Ethan came, he was so small, but he cried and kicked his little legs. I washed him, wrapped him in a towel to keep him warm, and placed him in a laundry basket. When I turned around to take care of Mother, she just looked at me. Her eyes were… It was as if I was staring into nothing. Not wanting my dad to see my mom like that, I closed her eyes and cleaned her up. She had such beautiful hair, so I washed it and dried it for her. I found her prettiest dress and put it on her then dabbed a little of her perfume on her neck. She looked so beautiful when I was finished. She looked like she was just taking a nap.
“Dad returned later the next morning and said nothing. He just picked Mom up and left with her. That was the last time I ever saw her. When he returned two days later, he looked at Ethan with such hate. He tried to take him from me, but I wouldn’t let him. I fought him as hard as I could, before he finally gave up. He said if I wanted that bastard, I was responsible for him. I fed, bathed, and loved Ethan with everything I had in me. I talked to him and told him how brave his mother was, that she gave everything she had for him. I told him that our mom was a beautiful woman with a gentle heart, and I promised him that I would do everything in my power to make sure he had a wonderful life.
“That was the first time I lied to him, because shortly after Dad told me that I was getting married. I didn’t want to, but Dad said if I wanted to keep Ethan, I would do it, or he would sell him to a family who paid handsomely for him. So, I did what I had to. I promised Ethan that we would never be separated. I met Jacques Boudreaux the next day, when we married. That was the last time I saw my dad. Jacques took me away and left me to raise Ethan. He would show up once a month, give me five hundred dollars, and then leave again. Only on a few occasions did he ever stay the night, but he never was a husband in the biblical sense. The few times he stayed overnight, it was with different women, and they would… It was so horrible.” She sniffed as tears rolled down her face.
“Baby, it’s all right. You don’t have to say anymore,” Levi whispered, not wanting to hear anymore. His heart was breaking, and looking at his brothers, he knew theirs were, too. All of them had tears in their eyes as she continued her story.
“I hid Ethan in the closet when he brought those women over. It was so horrible. I never knew people did that, and when the women screamed, I covered my ears so I didn’t have to hear them, but I couldn’t stop from seeing. Some nights, I can still see it as if I were still there. A couple of months ago, I was finishing some grocery shopping and saw Jacques with a man. They were arguing loudly. Jacques pushed the man against the wall and pulled a gun out. He pointed the gun right at him, and I froze. I couldn’t move. I just stood there and watched. That’s when I remembered my camera.
“When Ethan was in school, I would walk around town waiting for him to get out, and that’s when I met Mr. Grimes. He was a nice old man who took pity on me. He let me work part-time in his thrift store while Ethan was in school. One day someone dropped off an old camera, and Mr. Grimes let me keep it. He showed me how to use it, and once a month, I would buy film and just take pictures. So, remembering my camera, I used what film I had left and snapped photos of Jacques and the stranger. But when the stranger and Jacques turned, they saw me. That night, Ethan and I ran. We ran as far as we could. Ethan had listened to me talk about you guys so much, he told me to stop at a library, and before I could stop him, he looked you guys up. And the rest you already know.”
“So the Boudreaux guy never…” Duke asked carefully.
“No.” She blushed, looking at her hands. “He never touched me. Not like Nelson did.”
“Did he hit you?” Jake asked firmly. Levi knew it was hard for Jake to sit there and hold it together. Hell, it was for all of them, but she needed to tell her story. Now that it was done, they could help her heal. However, one thing was for damn sure. Jacques Boudreaux was a dead man walking.
“He never hit me,” she admitted, and Levi and his brothers sighed in relief.
“How are you feeling, dollface?” Levi asked, his hand squeezing hers.
“I can’t believe it could be like that. I mean, I’ve read about it, but it never happened to me before. I think I really could get used to this.” She smiled at the last word, kissing his cheek.
Laughing, Nelson said, “I think Levi meant about what you said.”
“Oh,” she said, surprised. “I feel better now. I knew you all would want to know. I was just scared that when you heard the truth, you wouldn’t want me anymore.”
“Oh, dollface, you don’t have to worry about that.” Nelson smiled.
“You’re home now, where you belong,” Duke added.
“And we’re never letting you out of our sight again,” Jake clearly stated, and Levi agreed. After all these years, she was finally back where she belonged, and nothing was ever going to take her away from them again.
“Cami, where is your camera?” Jake asked.
“In my car. We left it because we ran out of gas,” she stated, moving closer into Levi. Wrapping his arms around her, he sighed when she snuggled deeper into him.
“J
ake and I are going to go get your car. We need that camera. Where are the keys?” Duke asked, getting up from the bed.
“They are still in the ignition.”
Duke bent down and kissed the top of her head. She smiled and turned to Jake when he did the same. “Levi, Nelson, take care of her until we get back with her car.”
“No problem. She isn’t going anywhere, Duke,” Levi stated, holding her tighter.
As Duke and Jake left the room, Cami sighed contentedly. Her soft little hand flittered over his stomach.
“What are you doing, dollface?” Levi asked.
“I want more,” she said huskily said, her hand trailing further down his chest to his semi-erect cock, until her fingers surrounded him, gripping him tightly.
“I think dollface is hungry again, bro.” Nelson grinned.
With a groan, Levi pushed her down against the pillows. His hands ran down the soft silk of her skin to skim the juncture between her legs. He stroked the sleek feel of her puffy lips, eliciting a seductive purr from her throat. Levi noted her reaction, and with a quick grin moved lower, down her body, until he was lying between her spread legs.
His eyes locked on hers as he parted her legs He drew out what he wanted to do a few extra moments longer, prolonging the torment. He smiled when she gasped, nearly bringing her to orgasm before he had even touched her.
Levi loved that he could barely touch her and make her scream.
It was a gift, one he rarely got to use.
However, with dollface, he knew he was going to get to use his gift often. He couldn’t wait to get started.
Their eyes fixed on each other, and Levi suspected she could see everything inside him. It frightened him that such an inexperienced girl could scare the living shit out of him. There was a soft empathy within her eyes that he had never seen before. And in that moment, she knew him better than he ever had, and it unmanned him. Her gaze penetrated his soul as his breath became rapid and shallow, but neither of them looked away as he lowered his head. His tongue grazed the edge of her labia and circled around her clitoris. There was no tentativeness in his technique as his mouth began to make love to the folds. She moaned as he fell into lust.
Every so often, his eyes would drop to focus on where he licked, but within seconds, they would lift back up to her face. She seared him with lust and desire. His tongue darted into her and began to probe for the most sensitive spots. Her pelvis bucked up to his chin, but he held on and drove in deeper.
One hand traveled up to caress her breast. When he pinched her nipple, her orgasm crashed over her in a wave of bliss. Levi steadied her shuddering frame with one hand behind her back and continued to draw cries of pleasure from her with the other. He buried his face back into her quivering pussy. With a small scream, she collapsed backward into the pillows as her juices soaked his face.
Levi moved up her glistening body and gave her a deep, hungry kiss. Cami moaned as he pushed his tongue deep into her mouth, letting her taste herself on his lips.
“I’ve dreamt of you for years.” His voice trailed off into a growl of appreciation as he leaned back to look into her eyes. Drinking in the sight of her naked form, his cock dripped pre-cum on her legs, aching to enter the heaven of her wet pussy.
“I want you,” Cami mumbled huskily, her hands caressing his chest.
Levi’s eyes lit up at her words, and the intensity of his erection increased. Two little fingers pinched his nipple, and a wave of endorphins swam through his body. He stifled a moan as her eyes took on a glint of dark eroticism as she pinched harder.
Levi knew Cami could feel his erection as it strained, trapped against her body. Her hand trailed down his chest and over his stomach. Their completely naked bodies were pressed against each other. Lips, tongues, and skin merged and parted repeatedly. Levi moaned, not wanting the connection to end. He rolled her, her body gloriously splayed on top of his. For a few heady minutes, they gloried in their contact. He ran his hand down her leg. He cupped and squeezed her ass. Her backside trembled and twitched. Running his finger along her perineum, he teased the outside of her anus. Her body stiffened. Looking down at her, he questioned her with his eyes.
“Not there, please,” she whispered. Levi saw the pleading in her eyes. He remembered what she had said earlier, and nodded. Trying to make her comfortable again, he removed his hand and kissed her nose.
“I want all of you, dollface, every inch of you. Let me make you forget and only see us. Can you trust me to show you what heaven is really like?”
“I’m scared,” she said softly. He barely heard her.
“Never, love. Never be scared of us,” Nelson added, leaning over and stroking her arm as he kissed her fingers.
Trying again, Levi quickly looked at Nelson, who nodded, leaning over and taking one of her nipples into his mouth. He sucked vigorously while squeezing and pinching the other. Her body quickly reacted. Her moans and gasps filled the room as he gently pushed the tip of his finger past the ring of tight muscles. Cami caught her breath sharply for an instant. Slipping his finger further in, she gripped his forearms.
“Breathe, baby. Let us make this right for you,” Nelson coaxed, and Levi continued. He was incredibly gentle as her body accepted his finger easily, and she started to relax. Ever so slowly, Levi pumped his finger into her backside.
“I think dollface is ready for you, Nelson,” Levi said warmly, kissing her lips once more before removing himself from between her legs.
“What?” she asked, confused.
“Don’t worry, baby. Levi won’t be far,” Nelson explained. Yet confusion still marred her face. “He’s an ass man, love.”
Nelson took a deep breath and put his arms around Cami, rolling her on top of him. He tweaked her already sore nipple, and she nearly swooned.
His brother kissed in such a way, Levi knew it, with every ounce of love they had for each other. After helping her to lean over Nelson, Levi reached in the nightstand and removed a bottle of lube. Getting into position behind her, he ran his hands up her legs, spreading them wide. Cami stretched over Nelson, placing her head on his shoulder. Nelson’s arms went around her and held her close as Levi’s hand played with her moist pussy, getting her ready. Flipping the cap on the bottle, Levi poured a generous amount against her rosebud and fingered her once more, coating her. After a few seconds, Levi nodded at Nelson, and with the grace of a feather, Nelson lifted her, aiming his cock then sliding it into her wet cunt.
“Oh God!” she moaned as her hips slowly moved against him. Nelson thrust deeply into her, and she cried out in pleasure. They settled into a rhythm as she rocked back and forth between them.
Levi ran his fingertips through her hair, dropped a peck on the crown of her head, and, stroking his cock, he rubbed it against her tight hole, rubbing the lube around. He waited a second, and when there was no resistance, slowly he pushed forward. Hot, tight silk gripped the head of his cock. The pressure was unbelievable as he pushed in another millimeter. Her soft moans were music to his ears. Her body languid, he gently rubbed his hand down her back, eliciting goose bumps.
“Just breathe, baby. Let me show what real love feels like,” he crooned, pushing in further.
“I can’t take anymore,” she cried, and before he could stop her, she pushed back on him, taking all of him. The force of her lust had him gripping her hips tightly.
“Fuck, baby!” Levi grunted. “Don’t move.”
“I can’t help it. I have to,” she cried.
Nelson helped to steady her as his eyes seared her with the fire inside them. She clung to him and rained kisses on every available inch she could reach. She turned breathing heavily as Nelson reached between them and rubbed her clit. Levi was thankful as he stroked her hair and rubbed her neck in a calming fashion, slowly pulling back and moving forward again.
The sensation of being inside her was intense and somewhat painful. Physically, mentally, and emotionally, he pushed past his own preconceived limits and felt a
sense of release. His mind was brilliantly clear, and there was no fear or uncertainty. Here, in depths of the one woman he had known and cared for his entire life, he had found the ecstatic experience he had sought.
Levi grabbed her hips and dug his callused fingers into the tender muscles. She turned her head, and their eyes met in another moment of mutual knowledge and tender affection. She turned her head back, and Levi watched as she had the same flash of deep understanding with his brother. Levi nodded, and both brothers increased their speed. Letting everything go of all the worry, Levi let himself feel for the first time in his life as he pounded his cock into her ass. He remotely heard his brother’s grunts, Cami’s pleas, but in the tightness of her little body, Levi touched his bit of heaven. Gasping and giving into his lust for her, he let himself go.
Cami gave a shout that could have woken the dead as her body pulsed, gripping him tightly as she rode out her orgasm. Her pussy suctioned him tightly. Nelson roared and tensed as he soon followed. And when she turned to look back at him, she smiled, and that was all it took as he thrust one last time, spurting jet after jet into her tight little ass.
Laying her head on Nelson’s chest, she sobbed as her body shook, riding out another small orgasm. Tears ran down her cheeks as Nelson wrapped his arms around her, holding her closely, crooning, “We’ve got ya, dollface. You’re safe with us, always.”
Pulling gently out of her, Levi leaned back on his heels and watched as the love of his life drifted to sleep, snuggling close to his brother with the look of total contentment splayed across her face. For the first time since she disappeared from his life, Levi felt as if everything was going to be all right.
* * * *
Richard couldn’t sleep. Typically, the hum of the plane’s engines would lull him to sleep, but not tonight. All he did was think about her. Wondering if she was all right, were his brothers being respectful, did she feel safe? So many unanswered questions, and though he wanted to know all the answers, the one he really didn’t want to know about, he already knew. He was there that night and saw everything, the night before her parents fled their house, never to be heard from again. That night, not only was the Anderson family torn apart, but his parents never recovered from the fallout. They lost that spark, trust, that love bond between a husband and wife.
