“Easy for you to say, it’s not your cock causing her pain.” He was angry now, and that was the last thing I wanted. Grabbing his face with my hands, I pulled his attention to me.
“Make love to me, Jackston.” If I was never having sex again, I wanted him to enjoy this at least. He looked like he wanted to argue, and I lifted my lips to his, kissing him deeply.
My words and touch seemed to ignite something in him because his hands moved under my ass and slowly he began riding my body. At first it was nothing but aching pain but slowly it began to turn into something completely different. The soreness faded away being replaced with a need that was even stronger than I’d felt when being touched. “Yes.” My relieved whispered word made him smile, and that haunted look left his eyes.
He increased the tempo of his thrusts and my legs wrapped around his waist, urging him on, crying out at the sensation the friction gave. “More. I want to.” I couldn’t say what I wanted to do. Even though we were making love, the thought of asking for release seemed too much.
“I think our princess wants to come.” Alec’s soft laugh was joined by Theo’s.
“Give her what she wants.” Theo added in, then lowered his lips to my breast, suckling deeply.
“I’ll never hurt you again, Brooke. Never.” Jackston slowly made love to me, his eyes shining with adoration as he thrust in deep and retreated, over and over. Straining my hips upward I found paradise and couldn’t hold back the loud cry of pleasure that filled the room. I held on tight as he increased his rhythm and my orgasm kept going as I felt him fill me up with his pleasure.
It was so beautiful. Maybe I’d try this again. Tears slipped down my cheeks, but they were in happiness. I couldn’t believe how much my beautiful men had given me tonight. “I think I could fall in love with all of you.”
“Careful, princess, remember what I said about never letting you go.” Alec’s words didn’t make me less inclined to say that.
“We can talk about all of that later. Right now, I think we should get our girl in a hot bath. How sore are you?” Gage could be abrupt, and I guess if I agreed to this, I’d learn to deal with it.
“I’m okay.” Jackston carefully inched out of me and I winced. “Maybe a hot bath isn’t a horrible idea.” I felt the stickiness of his release slipping from my folds and it was almost naughty, but I enjoyed it.
“None of us are sleeping with her until she’s healed.” Theo shocked me with his sudden protectiveness. He slid off the bed, walking into the bathroom and I looked at Alec in confusion.
“He cares. Theo can be an ass at times, but underneath all that he’s a good guy.” Alec winked at me before reaching down to lift me in his arms. I wrapped my arms around his neck, holding on tightly as he carried me into the adjoining room. Theo was checking the water temperature with his wrist, and I laughed softly. I wasn’t a child, but I had to admit it made me feel good to know he was looking after me that way.
Being lowered into the water, the slight sting made me grimace. They all knelt beside the tub gawking at me and I blushed. “Seriously, guys, I’m fine.” Shaking my head, I wasn’t sure how to handle all this overprotective masculine compassion. “Um. A little privacy might be nice though.” I needed time to think about what just happened.
Alec stood first, the concern etched into his face made me feel emotional, but I knew if I let that show the solitude I was craving wouldn’t happen. Forcing a smile, he motioned to the other men to follow him and none of them seemed happy about giving into my request. Thankfully, they reluctantly left me to bathe.
I’d just made love, not to one man, but four. Jackston had been inside me, but they’d all given me pleasure and been a part of the experience. It was overwhelming, but beautiful at the same time. Outside of the few minutes of brief pain it had been the singularly most incredible experience of my life. I wanted more. Not at this exact moment, because my body was still sore, but soon.
chapter Six
Possessive
ALEC
Giving her space was the last thing I wanted to do, but she’d asked, and I wasn’t sure I could deny her anything. A woman’s first time was brutal and seeing that pain on her face had done something to me I didn’t expect. There was this primal desire to take her in my arms and keep her safe, never letting any of my friends ever touch her again. That thought fucked me up mentally. I’d never been possessive of a woman before. My eyes darted toward the bathroom, making sure she was okay.
“Take a breather.” Gage rested his hand on my shoulder and I tensed, on the verge of telling him to back the hell off. This wasn’t good. Not for me, her, and certainly not for my friends. We were a family and letting anyone come between that? It couldn’t happen. I wouldn’t allow it.
With a curt nod, I forced my attention away from the little beauty in the tub and walked out of the bedroom. What the fuck was wrong with me? I kept walking until I was standing outside on the deck. This was wrong. Balling my hands into fists, I stood there looking out over the ocean. Internally I was hoping the soothing sounds of the waves crashing against the shore would fix what ailed me.
“You good?” Gage joined me, and I looked back in the house.
“Are they still watching her?” Fuck no I wasn’t all right. I wanted to punch Jackston for hurting her and keep my other two friends from doing the same.
“Of course. Bro, she’s fine.” The way Gage was looking at me, I’d gone mental, and I wasn’t sure he wasn’t right.
“He hurt her. I chose him because out of all us he was the one that should have done that shit right.” I knew what I was saying was unfair, but I couldn’t stop the words spilling from my lips.
“Whoa. Dude, I get it. You didn’t like seeing her in pain, none of us did, but that’s par for the course with a virgin.” He was smiling, and I wanted to cold-cock his big ass. It wasn’t fine, and I was damn sure not going to let it ever happen again.
“Fucked many virgins, have you?” Gage and I didn’t argue often. Normally we were on the same page, but this wasn’t one of those times.
He chuckled deeply and held up his hands in mock self-defense. “You’ve got it bad. Listen, that little girl will be just fine. The next time she fucks, that pain will be history. Trust me on this one.”
“I don’t want anyone touching her again. This whole damn thing was a mistake.” I didn’t know what I felt, except that it was my responsibility to make sure she wasn’t hurt again. If that meant I couldn’t have her either, I’d force myself to suffer that consequence.
“That’s not your choice. If she wants us, we won’t turn her down. You’re overthinking the situation, Alec. Get your shit together and think about what you’re saying.” The smile left his face and the powerful soldier I’d served with in the service took over. I knew that expression, and it meant that no matter what I said his mind was made up.
“I’m not willing to be a part of hurting her. We had no business seducing that little girl. When she’s done with the fantasy and walks away, like all of them do, how do you think that’s going to make her feel?” I couldn’t stop them from fucking her, but I could make sure I wasn’t part of the regret she’d feel later. “Do what you want.”
A part of me wanted to escape to the beach and walk until my head wasn’t filled with the regret over what we’d done. I wouldn’t abandon the girl that was in over her head without knowing it yet, though. Going back inside, I walked to her bedroom determined to make sure that tonight at least, no one touched her again. She needed to heal, and they would damn well respect my wishes on that.
Jackston was drying her off, and Theo was changing the sheets. Seeing the traces of blood made my blood boil, but I fought to keep that anger off my face. “You need some rest, Brooke.” Giving a pointed look to my friends I hoped they didn’t argue because it was a fight they wouldn’t win.
“Will you stay with me?” That angelic voice seeking comfort was impossible to refuse. Telling myself that I would be protecting her from them
trying anything tonight, I nodded. Theo had finished the bed, and I waited until she climbed under the covers to join her. She snuggled up next to me, and only a monster would have pushed her away. I wrapped my arm around her as she rested her soft cheek against my chest, knowing that somehow, I’d keep her safe, even if from herself.
“I’ve got her tonight. Get some sleep.” I tried to keep my tone amicable, but if they even attempted to climb in this bed all hell was going to break loose. Jackston looked at me in confusion for a moment, but nodded and elbowed Theo. He wasn’t pleased but he walked out of the room leaving us alone.
Gage
He was falling for our princess and had no idea why he suddenly felt like she needed a protector. If the situation wasn’t dire, I might have found it comical. Theo and Jackston joined me on the deck and I pulled out beers for us.
“What the fuck just happened?” Theo took a long pull from his bottle and looked at me, demanding answers.
“Alec has finally met a woman he can fall in love with.” This might take a case of beer to analyze. He always cared for the women we’d slept with, but none of them had gotten close to his heart before.
“I was waiting for him to start pounding on his chest and saying, mine.” Jackston quipped with a wide grin. “About time.”
“Not that simple. He’s afraid she’ll regret being with us and wants to end everything. If we can’t talk some sense into him, he’ll screw up the best thing that ever happened to any of us.” Neither of them was smiling now and I was pleased they understood how serious this was.
“End it. That’s stupid, she might be the one we’ve been waiting for.” Theo was right, but convincing Alec of that wouldn’t be easy. We’d come close with one other woman and when she left, he’d closed off his emotions to all other relationships. He’d screw them, and take care of their needs, but he refused to let anyone break through the walls he’d built.
“I’m not willing to let her go. He can either join in or stay away, but if she wants us, I have no intention of rejecting her.” Jackston was the mellow one of the group but the conviction in his words told me that he’d do whatever it took to make her stay.
“Until he pulls his head out of his ass, we’ll be flying solo with our beautiful girl.” I wasn’t falling in love with the angel we had in our bed tonight, but I did care about her. I’d been hurt when the last woman left the same as Alec had, but I wasn’t willing to destroy any chance of finding our perfect match because of it.
“Then why is he in bed with her now? His ass needs to be out here and letting us give the comfort she needs.” Theo was angry, but that was common-place with him lately. As sappy as it sounded we all needed someone who could make us complete and I think it was wearing on him too.
“Because as much as he wants to run away, he’s afraid we’ll hurt her.” Rolling my eyes at his fucked-up mentality on this one, I knew there was only one way to force him to see the truth. “Let him have tonight. Tomorrow we’ll seduce our little princess and when he sees that she’s happy being in our arms, he’ll come around.”
“I think you’re right. If he truly cares about her like you say, then the thought of not being a part of her education will open his eyes.” Jackston took a swig of his beer and gave a broad smile.
“To training our princess.” Theo lifted his beer and we tapped our bottles together. I couldn’t think about what would happen if he didn’t come around. We’d all been friends too long to let anyone separate us, but walking away from Brooke? I wasn’t sure Jackston and Theo would follow. Myself? I’d wait and see.
Alec
Listening to her soft breathing as she slept, I felt a tightness in my chest that wouldn’t leave. This little girl was precious, and I wasn’t sure how I was going to let her go. This was my fault. I should have put my foot down before Jackston had slept with her. I don’t know what I was thinking when I agreed to this insane idea.
A content sigh escaped her lips, and my arm tightened around her, wishing I could take it all back. If I were a different man, I would have taken her away and made her mine, but that wasn’t the lifestyle I wanted. I loved having my band of brothers with me and giving that up wasn’t something I was willing to do. Having a permanent partner hadn’t worked out for us, and those women had been experienced. There was no way I could expect her to live a healthy, happy relationship with four men. I wanted her to have that with someone even if it wasn’t us.
Thinking about her sleeping with another man made me angry though, so maybe I was selfish and didn’t want that. That didn’t mean she didn’t deserve it though. My thoughts were in turmoil and I’m not sure how I fell asleep with them running through my mind, but somehow, I did.
Waking up to a hand stroking my cock, I wasn’t sure if I was dreaming. Straining my hips upward as that hand squeezed tightly, I almost came. Opening my eyes to a little angel studying me while jacking me off was a beautiful sight. “Princess.” My tone was a harsh warning, but she simply smiled and continued with her tempting seduction.
“Do you like it when I touch you this way?” Considering I was about to come all over her hand, I thought the answer was obvious, but I gave a curt nod anyway. There was a reason I shouldn’t allow this, but for the life of me I couldn’t remember what it was. It felt so good, the way she pumped my dick, and when her mouth slid over the thick head I groaned.
Without conscious thought, my hand tangled in her hair and I maneuvered her up and down my cock, tutoring her movements. She was a natural at this and I lost myself in what she was doing instead of her lack of experience as I shot streams of pearly essence down her throat. In her favor, she swallowed every drop until I was limp. Mentally I was kicking my ass for allowing her to do it.
“I’m so sorry, princess.” She lifted her lips and smiled, and I swear my cock came back to life instantly. This was so very wrong.
“I like how you taste.” Licking her lips after taking all I offered? Fuck! That was the hottest damn thing I’d ever seen. Still, that shouldn’t have happened.
“Thank you for that.” I had to get the hell away from this girl before I forget the promise I made to myself. She was off limits. Sliding out of bed, I left her looking bewildered and more than a little hurt.
chapter seven
Confusion
BROOKE
Had I done something wrong? Maybe I totally sucked at doing oral. The idea that he didn’t like me doing that was a huge kick to my self-confidence. I didn’t know enough about men to say if a guy could find release even if they hated how it was done. Sliding out of bed, I walked into the bathroom feeling horrible about my skills. I wasn’t going to cry. That was stupid and childish, and I wasn’t either. My emotions disagreed, and I swiped away a stray tear that slid down my cheek.
Arguing with myself to get over whatever this was I was dealing with, I brushed my teeth. Had I inadvertently hurt him somehow? That would explain why he ran out of the room like his backside was on fire. I had to apologize! Finishing my morning routine, I walked into the bedroom and pulled another dress from the closet, removed the tag, and slid it over my head.
The men were all sitting around the island table in the kitchen and the second Alec saw me, his focus went to the plate in front of me. Obviously, something was wrong, and I wouldn’t stop thinking about it until I found out what it was. “Did I hurt you?” Blurting out the first thing that came to my mind, I waited for his answer.
He lifted his head, confusion filling his sexy hazel eyes. “Hurt me? I’m not sure what you mean?”
“When I.” Pausing, I tried to think of the words to use that didn’t sound dirty. “Um tasted you.” My cheeks were flaming as the other guys seemed to hone in on them with interest.
“What happened this morning that we missed?” Gage looked at Alec with a smirk on his face and thankfully all the attention moved to him instead of me.
“It was a mistake.” Pushing back his plate, he left the room looking like he was ready to hit something, and
I was more confused than before.
I had no idea what was going on but somehow, I knew it was my fault. My eyes filled with tears for the second time this morning. “I didn’t mean to hurt him.” Whatever I’d done to him must have been awful if wouldn’t even talk to me about it.
“Hey, no, baby, stop that.” Gage pulled me into his arms, hugging me tightly. “You didn’t do anything wrong. That stick up his ass is all him.”
“I wanted to please him the way you guys pleased me.” Sniffling, and hating myself for being so weak, I hugged him back.
“I’m going to kill him.” Theo walked over and made a me sandwich as he hugged me from the other side. Having them both envelope me in their embrace took away the depression and made me long for something more.
“Killing is a little strong, knocking some sense into that thick head should suffice.” Jackston joined in and all thoughts about screwing up with Alec disappeared. I whimpered as need overcame everything I was feeling, and I clung to Gage tighter.
“Right now, I think our little princess needs comforting more than giving him the ass beating he deserves.” Lifting my chin, his lips met mine and he kissed me with so much passion that I could hardly breathe.
Jackston and Theo moved back. Gage lifted me onto the island bar, not stopping that mind-altering kiss, as he spread my legs wide to stand between them. His fingers moved to my core and began caressing me until the only thought in my mind was having him inside. “You’re drenched.” Lifting his lips, he looked into my eyes as a finger slowly entered my greedy chamber.
Pressing my hips forward, I moaned as it filled me up. “Please.” I wanted more than his finger, and my hips undulated back and forth needing that friction. He added another and I moaned in pleasure.
“Fuck, baby. That is so hot.” His words didn’t matter, those magical fingers did. Without thought I grabbed his hand and rode them like a woman starving for pleasure. I cried out in disappointment when he removed the stimulation. “Let’s find a place more comfortable for you.”
