A Fresh Start for Tori [Slick Rock 11] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting)
Page 9
Luther’s finger pushed into her all the way and after pausing a moment he slid it back out. She wanted to beg him to put it back in and just as she opened her mouth to do just that he came back with two fingers. The pressure was intense as her delicate, wet tissue spread. She’d seen how thick and long his fingers were and she bowed her hips from the bed to get more of those pleasure-giving digits inside her. He lifted his mouth from her pussy and placed the palm of his hand on her lower abdomen and applied firm yet gentle pressure to hold her down.
“Easy, baby. We’ll give you what you need.” Luther’s voice was more gravelly than usual and it was then that she realized he was as turned on as she was. His control astounded her and she knew he and his brothers would never do anything to deliberately hurt her. In fact they all seemed hell-bent on making sure she felt only pleasure.
Tori hadn’t even realized that she was still a little wary until that moment and she wanted to tell Luther, Jeremiah, and Bryant that she really did trust them. But the words wouldn’t come because she was so full of emotion she was scared she would start crying, so she nodded instead and gave herself over into their care.
Luther’s green eyes met hers and he smiled at her as if he knew what she’d just been thinking and how she’d given them all the control.
“That’s it, baby. Just relax and feel.” He lowered his head back to her cunt, and as he licked over her engorged pearl he pushed his fingers into her deeper. He didn’t shove them in all the way. No, he took care of her and slowly pumped them in and out until they were in as far as they would go. He paused and then as he sucked her clit in between his lips and lapped over it with his tongue, he began to stroke those wonderfully thick fingers in and out of her pussy. With each press forward he got faster and faster and the pads of his digits stroked over a spot inside her that nearly sent her to the roof.
“Such a sexy woman,” Jeremiah whispered and then he sucked her nipple back into his mouth.
Bryant reached up and held her breast in his large hand and bit down on her nipple. That small zing of pain made her insides tighten and it felt like heated wine was coursing through her veins. She cried out as her pussy fluttered and cream dripped from her hole. Never in her life had Tori experienced…
Thoughts flew right out of her head. That heated wine now felt like it was burning her from the inside. She gasped for breath and then she screamed. Her womb shivered, her cunt trembled and tightened, and then she was flying toward the stars.
Her internal muscles clamped around Luther’s fingers as he thrust them in and out of her body. Her whole body quaked and quivered as she went hurtling up into the stratosphere. The climax seemed to last forever, but it was over way to soon.
When Tori came back to herself it was to find three sets of eyes staring at her hungrily and they were caressing their hands over her body. She panted and gulped at the intense look in their eyes and wondered if they would want to fuck her now.
God, I hope so. Please, please want me the way I want you.
* * * *
Luther was so damn horny he was shaking. He’d never felt this way about a woman before and knew he never would again. Seeing Tori in the throes of climax was the highlight of his life and the only thing that would be better was being able to make love with her.
He didn’t think she was a virgin, but from the shocked and awed look he’d seen cross her face just before she came, she was sexually inexperienced. Possessiveness roared through him and it was hell to keep from sheathing his cock in a condom and thrusting into her until his balls rested against her ass. He wanted to reassure her how sexy she was when she came but didn’t think his voice would work if he tried to talk. Tori looked a little vulnerable and when he met her gaze and saw tears in her eyes he felt like a real bastard.
Did I hurt her? Was I too rough with her?
He took a deep breath and glanced at his brothers. They must have seen the shimmer of tears in her eyes too, because they were both frowning and looked really worried.
“Tori, are you okay?”
Tori nodded and gave a delicate sniff.
Luther sat up between her legs and caressed a hand over her belly. The muscles beneath her skin jumped and he wondered if it was because she liked his touch or if she was having second thoughts.
“Did I hurt you, baby?”
“No,” Tori whispered and looked away as red infused her cheeks.
Jeremiah cupped her face and turned her head toward him. “Why are you crying?”
“I’ve never…”
Bryant shifted at her side and the frown left his face. Luther realized then what Tori was trying to say and the tension eased from his muscles.
“No one’s ever made you come before?” Bryant asked.
Tori eyelids lowered as if she was trying to hide from them, but she nodded her head and confirmed what he’d thought she had been trying to say.
“Did you like it?” Luther bit his lip to stop the smile from forming on his mouth.
Tori’s mouth opened and then closed and then she gave him the most beautiful smile he’d ever seen. “Hell yes.”
Her answer was so emphatic he couldn’t hold his smile back anymore. In fact he ended up laughing, as did Jeremiah and Bryant.
“Can we do that again?”
“We can do that whenever you want, darlin’.” Bryant brushed a strand of hair off her face.
“We want to make love with you, Tori,” Luther said but held up his hand when she opened her mouth to reply. He knew he’d already told her that if she accepted being with them that there would be no turning back, but he wanted to make sure she understood unequivocally what they wanted with her. “If you agree to this going forward you need to know that you’ll be ours from then on. Don’t say yes unless you’re absolutely sure that’s what you want.”
Tori nibbled on her lip, still looking very vulnerable and uncertain. Luther would have loved to know what was going through her head right then, but women’s minds often worked in mysterious ways. He didn’t think he’d ever be confident enough to know what Tori was thinking. She was a gorgeous, sexy woman, but she was also an enigma, at least to him. He glanced at Jeremiah and he looked just as uncertain as Tori, but when he looked at Bryant his younger brother was smiling.
“Darlin’, we want you more than our next breath, but if you’re unsure we should stop now.”
Luther wanted to hit his brother for saying that, but he knew Bryant was right. If Tori had any misgivings about being with them they needed to clear them up before taking the next step.
“I want you all,” Tori said and then took a deep breath.
“But?” Jeremiah asked.
“I don’t know if I’m the right woman for you. What if I can’t give you what you need?”
Luther cursed under his breath. Tori had been hurt before and from what she’d just said not only by her mother and stepfather. Some egotistical motherfucker had hurt her and made her feel less confident as a stunning, healthy, sexual woman. He wanted her to tell him the asshole’s name so he could go and punch the shit out of him, but he held his anger in check so he didn’t scare her.
“Baby, if you don’t give us what we need then it’s our own fault.”
Tori frowned at him in confusion.
“It’s our job to make sure that you’re satisfied, Tori. If you are gratified then so are we.”
“But…”
Jeremiah placed a finger over her lips. “No buts, honey.”
“Do you want to be with us, Tori? Do you want us to make love with you?”
Again she frowned, but this time Luther knew it was over his word choice. He wasn’t about to tell her that he was well on the way to falling in love with her or that he and his brothers having sex with her wasn’t just sex or fucking. To them it would be making love, but Luther was certain that she wasn’t ready to hear any of that yet.
Hopefully he and his brothers would be able to bolster her confidence once they’d all made love with her and
she would lose the vulnerability regarding her own femininity.
Luther didn’t realize that he was clenching his fist until his knuckles started aching. He saw Jeremiah exhale and then inhale deeply as if he’d been holding his breath, and Bryant had a frown on his face where usually he was smiling.
He and his brothers knew that their future depended on the answer Tori gave, but if she said no he wasn’t going to walk away with his tail between his legs. She was the epitome of everything they wanted in a woman. Tori Springer was beautiful, sexy, and deep down he had a feeling that when she gave her heart it would be for the rest of her life.
He’d seen the yearning in her eyes when she watched Flick and her husbands. When Tom, Billy, and Luke touched her in passing or kissed Felicity on the cheek, the need that appeared in her eyes, the need to be loved, was there for anyone to see.
She wasn’t like any of the women he and his brothers had dated. Thank God. She didn’t use her sexuality to get what she wanted. She didn’t look at any other man the way she looked at them. Not even the handsome Trick Wendall and his brothers drew an appreciative gaze from Tori. The women they’d known would have been hanging all over the Wendall brothers trying to get their attention. But Tori wasn’t like that.
She was sweet and caring and he wanted to have those traits of hers directed at them. Once he, Jeremiah, and Bryant had her where they wanted her there was no way in hell he was going to ever let her go.
She was theirs, and Luther was going to make damn sure she was by their sides until they breathed their last breaths.
Chapter Eight
Jeremiah was scared she was going to say no. He could see the cogs of her mind turning, but he couldn’t work out what she was thinking. Even though her face and eyes showed a myriad of emotions he couldn’t tell if she was going to refuse or accept them.
Her face had gone pink a moment ago in what looked like embarrassment and then had paled and she’d frowned. The last few minutes had been the longest of his life and he couldn’t deal with the silence a moment longer. Usually Luther would have pushed for an answer by now. His older brother could be a real impatient bastard, just like he could. Even Bryant looked upset, his usual smile a frown.
“Talk to us, honey? What has you hesitating?”
“I–I’m not very good with relationships. I…I don’t want to come between you all.”
“That would never happen, darlin’.” Bryant gave her a gentle smile and took her hand in his and then laced their fingers together.
“But…” Tori hesitated.
Jeremiah had had enough of the pussyfooting around. He would probably catch hell from Bryant and maybe Luther for pushing later, but he needed to know her uncertainties, her fears, so he could allay them for her.
“How many boyfriends have you had, Tori?”
“Jeremiah,” Luther snapped and Jeremiah glared at his brother when Tori looked intimidated from Luther’s tone. “What the hell did you ask that for?”
“Fuck you, Luther. I wasn’t trying to embarrass her or make her feel bad,” Jeremiah said with a snarl. “I wanted…”
“See, I knew this couldn’t work.”
Tori sat up and was about to scramble around Jeremiah and off the bed, but he couldn’t let her escape. At least not yet. He snagged her around the waist as he shifted on the bed so he was sitting on the edge and then plopped her down on his lap. He had to bite back the groan that was forming in his chest when her warm, soft ass cheeks and hip brushed against his hard cock.
“What are you doing?” Tori pushed against the arm he had around her waist. “Let me go.”
“Not yet.” Jeremiah breathed in her strawberry scent and kissed the top of her head. She smelled so good he started drooling, but now was not the time for lascivious thoughts so he pushed them aside. It was imperative that he and his brothers get to the heart of her trepidation and deal with those issues before they could move forward.
“Answer my question, Tori.”
Tori huffed out an agitated breath and glared daggers at him, but she did finally answer the question, even if it was a little pithily. “Two.”
“Okay.” Jeremiah was getting a clearer picture and he didn’t like what he was seeing, but he needed to know the rest. “How many times have you had sex?”
The anger in her eyes went to discomfit and complete fury. Instead of pushing against his arm this time she pinched it and he drew back in surprise. She jumped from his lap and started gathering her clothes. Luther and Bryant were glaring at him and even though he hated making her mad and uncomfortable Jeremiah knew that until all the skeletons were out of her closet she wasn’t going to relax totally with them.
Tori pulled on her clothes with jerky movements and Jeremiah figured she would be more at ease if they were all dressed, too, so he started getting dressed. Luther and Bryant put their clothes back on as well.
Jeremiah had finished before Tori, and while she’d been concentrating on doing her jeans up and slipping her feet into her shoes, he’d walked over to the bedroom door and was now leaning against his with his arms crossed over his chest. When she took a step toward the door and then noticed where he was she scowled at him and placed her hands on her hips in an offensive move.
“Please get out of the way,” Tori stated more than asked.
He shook his head. “You’re not leaving until we’ve talked, Tori. I can stand here all night if I have to.”
She glared at him and he held her stare. With a sigh she finally looked down toward the floor.
“I’ve had sex twice,” she snapped and met his eyes again. Her tone had been really belligerent and she thrust her chin into the air as if she expected him to belittle her inexperience.
“With the same man or two different men?” Jeremiah shoved from the door and uncrossed his arms before taking a step toward her. Even though Luther and Bryant were still looking at him angrily they kept quiet. Maybe they were finally working out what he was trying to do.
“The same man.”
“You didn’t have sex with your first boyfriend?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“I’m not a slut, Jeremiah. I don’t go around spreading my legs for anything with a cock.”
He held in his smirk when her face went bright red at what she’d said, but he didn’t comment on her use of words.
“We know very well you’re not a slut, honey. We wouldn’t want to be with you if we thought you were.”
She let out what sounded like a sigh of relief and her next words confirmed it. “Thank God for small mercies.”
“Your one and only lover didn’t give you an orgasm, did he, Tori?”
Her hands moved from her hips and she wiped them down the front of her thighs as if she was nervous, but she shook her head.
“Did he say it was your fault you couldn’t come?” Jeremiah asked her in a quiet voice.
Tori shook her head, but then she changed it to a nod and her gaze once more went to the floor. Her cheeks went a deep red hue this time. Jeremiah’s heart ached for her. He wondered how long she’d had the misconception that there was something wrong with her. God, he hated assholes like her ex. Why did some men have to hurt and belittle women to cover up their own insecurities, inadequacies?
“Whatever he said to you, he was wrong.” Jeremiah took the last few steps until he was standing in front of her and then he slowly reached out and nudged her chin up. “There is nothing wrong or lacking in you, Tori. He was the inadequate one.”
Luther and Bryant moved closer to her, too. Luther placed his hands on her shoulders and pulled her back against his front. Bryant took her hand in his, raised it to his mouth, and kissed the back of it.
“What did that fucker tell you, baby?” Luther asked.
“He told me I wasn’t w–woman enough.” Tori’s voice hitched and then she swallowed audibly.
“What else did he say, darlin’?” Bryant caressed his free hand down her arm.
“He
said it was my fault he had to go looking for sex with another woman when we were supposed to be going out. If I hadn’t been cold he would never have cheated on me.”
“Fucking asshole,” Jeremiah snapped and then stroked a finger down her cheek when she flinched. “I’m sorry, honey. I didn’t mean to scare you.”
“You didn’t. Not really.” Tori finally met his eyes again. “You just surprised me, is all.”
“Let’s get something straight,” Jeremiah began. “You are not lacking in any way, sexually or otherwise. You are a very intelligent, gorgeous, sexy woman and we want to be in a relationship with you.”
Tori opened her mouth, but Jeremiah rubbed his thumb over her bottom lip to stop her. Her breath puffed out onto his skin and she licked her lips and that sweet pink little tongue connected with his thumb. He wanted to strip her down again, toss her on the bed, and love her until they were both screaming, but Tori wasn’t ready for that yet. She hadn’t really been ready for them loving her before, but now that they were at the crux of her insecurities hopefully he and his brothers could help make her ready.
“We want to see where this attraction between us will lead, honey. Luther, Bryant, and I want to have it all. We want to settle down in our own home and hopefully have a few kids and we think you could be the woman we want to settle down with.”
“You do?”
Jeremiah was pleased when his brothers got on board with him. Tori needed to know that they wanted her in their lives forever. It was no wonder she was so uncertain after her upbringing and the two assholes she’d gone out with. Now that she knew the score hopefully she would want what they wanted, too.
“I—ˮ
“Don’t say anything just now, baby. We know you’re going to be busy with your new shop and so are we if we can find a place we want to buy.” Luther tugged on her ponytail and Tori tilted her head back to look at him. “Just know that we will always be here for you. Okay?”
