Dream Life

by Becca Van

  Shyann was glad she didn’t like wearing makeup. If she had, her lipstick would have been ruined. She had very sensitive skin and broke out with a lot of products. Even some perfumes reacted with her chemical makeup. A few fragrances she’d used made her itch and break out in welts. It sucked, but she’d learned that it wasn’t worth her trouble or the resulting angst.

  “Have a good day, Shyann,” Brigg and Tane said simultaneously as Raiden guided her out the front door toward his truck.

  He opened the front passenger door for her before lifting her up onto the seat. He even made sure to buckle up her seat belt before closing the door and walking around toward the driver’s seat. She clutched the straps of her purse in one hand while waving good-bye to Tane and Brigg with the other.

  The closer they got to town, the more relaxed she became. Now that she was on her way, excitement replaced her trepidation. Her guys were right. She’d worked in a library before and knew the drill.

  There was nothing for her to worry about.

  After unlocking the door and disarming the alarm, Shyann turned all the lights on. Raiden followed her about but didn’t say anything as she got to work. The library wouldn’t be open to the public for another hour, but she wanted to make sure everything was ready.

  “There’s a break room just behind the counter if you want more coffee,” she told Raiden as she powered up the three computers.

  “Do you want another cup, baby?” Raiden asked as he came to stand beside her. Even though she could feel the heat emanating from his body and was tempted to lean into him, she didn’t want anyone peering in and seeing her being unprofessional even if she wasn’t on the clock yet.

  “Yes please.”

  Raiden winked at her when she glanced his way, stroked a hand down her back, and headed toward the small kitchen.

  Shyann made sure all the containers that held the blank library card applications were full and then checked that the book scanners were working. She glanced at the clock when she was sure everything was ready, saw she still had half an hour before people could enter and went to join Raiden in the kitchen.

  “Do you have anyone else on staff?” Raiden asked as he pulled a chair out for her next to him.

  “Yes. I trained two women for a couple of weeks. They helped set all the books out on the shelves in a couple of sections.”

  “What are their names, baby?” Raiden sipped his coffee.

  “Sammy Reilly and Kat Gilmore.”

  “Have they always lived in Slick Rock?”

  “I’m not sure. We didn’t have much time for personal talk.”

  “What time do they start?” Raiden eyed the clock on the wall.

  “We all start at nine today. I wanted to be here early to make sure everything was set up.”

  Raiden cocked a brow at her. “Are you going to get to work this early every morning?”

  “Probably not, but I’d like to be here at least half an hour before we start.” Shyann tilted her head and stood when they heard the front door open. She hurried out.

  * * * *

  Raiden shoved to his feet, pausing in the doorway to peek around the corner. He relaxed when he saw the young woman talking with Shyann and figured it was one of her staff.

  Throughout the day Raiden wandered the aisles of books, watching his woman talk and laugh with her customers. The library was inundated with people from 9:00 a.m. till noon. He met Sammy and Kat, liking both women instantly. They were both shy and quietly spoken, but they worked well alongside Shyann.

  Tane and Brigg entered with lunch for everyone just after noon. Raiden had sent them a text, telling them to buy food for two more. Shyann introduced his brothers to Kat and Sammy.

  “We’ll put your salad wraps in the fridge.” Tane smiled at the women when they nodded.

  Raiden and his brothers followed Shyann into the kitchen where they all sat down.

  “How’s your day going, darlin’?” Brigg asked.

  Shyann’s eyes lit up as she talked about all the people who’d signed up for library cards. Raiden smiled because he loved seeing that excited sparkle in her eyes. He’d never get tired of watching her or listening to her. Tane and Brigg watched her as intently as he did. Before long it was time for her to get back to work. She hugged his brothers’ good-bye and hurried out to the counter to relieve the other women for their lunch break.

  The rest of the day passed quickly as Shyann served people checking out books. Before Raiden knew it, she waved good-bye to Sammy and Kat, turning off computers, lights, arming the alarm, and locking up.

  He helped her into the truck before getting into the driver’s seat. Raiden glanced at her when she sighed tiredly. He started the vehicle, eased out onto the road after checking for traffic, and headed home.

  “Are you okay, baby?”

  “I am. I’m weary, but it was a great day. I couldn’t believe how many people signed up.”

  “It shouldn’t be a surprise since this is the only library in the county.”

  “I know, but still with technology as advanced as it is, a lot of people buy books online to download on their e-readers. There’s so much information on the internet, students can research anything they want whenever they want.”

  “That’s true, but a lot of people still like to turn real pages.”

  “Do you, Brigg, and Tane read?”

  “We do,” Raiden answered. “We’ve been a bit too busy lately though to find time to pick a book.”

  Shyann blushed.

  Raiden chuckled as he glanced her way before turning back to the road. Before long he was turning the corner onto their street and then the driveway. After turning the truck off, he got out and hurried around to her side, but she slid from the seat before he could help her.

  “I need a shower,” Shyann said as they mounted the steps leading toward the front door.

  “So do I.” Raiden winked as he held the front door open for her and followed her inside. “We’re home,” he called out to his brothers. “We’ll be out in a bit.”

  “Okay,” Brigg replied loudly.

  “Come on, baby.” Raiden clasped her elbow, guiding her toward the bedrooms.

  He was going to help Shyann wash up, but he was also going to make love with her. He’d been half-hard all day long. He couldn’t wait another minute to sink his aching cock into that sexy little body.

  He groaned as he entered the bathroom and started shucking his clothes. He just hoped that Shyann wasn’t too tired.

  Chapter Seventeen

  Shyann undressed before she hung up her skirt and jacket in the closet. She entered the bathroom to find that Raiden was already in the shower. She licked her lips as she perused his masculine body up and down. He was so damn muscular and sexy. Her nipples hardened, and her clit began to throb.

  She dumped her blouse in the laundry hamper, removed her bra and panties, and got into the shower. Raiden must have felt her behind him because he turned around to face her. She pushed her dampening hair back from her face and met his gaze. He wrapped an arm around her waist, tugging her up against his toned body. She moaned when his hard dick pressed into her belly and her sensitive nipples brushed against his chest and chest hair.

  “I love you, baby,” Raiden declared as he bent toward her.

  “I love you, too, Raiden.” She wrapped her arms around his neck and gasped when he lifted her from her feet. She hooked her legs around his hips as she lifted her mouth toward his.

  The kiss they shared was out of this world passionate. Their tongues dueled carnally before sliding together and tangling again. She sucked on his tongue when he pushed it deeper into her mouth and shivered when he groaned. Her back hit the tile wall as he broke their lip lock before he started licking and nibbling his way down her neck. He nipped her earlobe before lapping the slight sting away.

  Raiden raised his eyes to hers. “I want you, Shyann. I’ve been hankering to make love to you all day long.”

  “I want that, too.” She
brought her mouth back up to him, kissing him deeply, showing him how much she loved him. He took over control, turning the kiss hot, wild, and passionate.

  She panted when he released her lips, frowning when he unhooked her legs from around his waist and lowered her back to the shower base.

  “Do you trust me, baby?”

  “You know I do.” Her frown deepened because she had no idea why he’d asked that. She knew a second later, though.

  “Will you let me fuck your ass, Shyann?” Raiden asked in a hoarse voice.

  She shook as the heat coursing through her veins, her blood, warmed even more. “Yes.”

  “Turn around, baby. Put your hands on the tiles, spread your legs, and push your sexy ass out.”

  Shyann turned, bracing her hands on the wall, shifting her feet farther apart, and shoved her ass toward Raiden. She glanced over her shoulder at him when he made a growly sound in his throat. He was staring at her ass and licking his lips. She turned back around, closing her eyes after seeing Raiden sinking to his knees.

  A shiver wracked her spine when he shoved his head between her legs, his hair caressing and tickling the inside of her thighs. She cried out at the first lick of his tongue from bottom to top and shook when he twirled his tongue over and around her clit. He rimmed her pussy with a finger, easing it into her as he flicked the tip of his tongue over her sensitive, engorged pearl.

  Just when she thought she was about to go over into climax, Raiden removed his mouth from her pussy. He kept up a lazy rhythm, sliding his finger in and out of her cunt as he started licking her ass.

  Her legs began to tremble as the hunger for her man to fill her became almost unbearable. “Please, Raiden.”

  “Please what, baby?”

  “I need you. Now!”

  “Yeah,” Raiden groaned as he shoved to his feet. He grabbed a condom and a tube of lube from the shelf, and seconds later the head of his dick was pressing into her ass.

  Shyann groaned as her tissues began to burn as they spread to welcome him. She gasped in a breath, and when her muscles loosened, she exhaled and inhaled again.

  “Your ass is so fucking tight, baby. Fuck, you feel so good.” Raiden panted as he pushed in deeper.

  Shyann drew another deep breath, using her muscles to try and push Raiden out. She whimpered as he glided in deeper.

  “Fuck!” Raiden gasped. “You’re so sexy, baby.”

  Shyann couldn’t speak she was breathing so heavily but nodded instead. She moaned when he smoothed his hand up from her waist toward her breasts. The air stuttered in her lungs and throat when he cupped a breast, kneading and molding the soft globe before strumming his thumb over her nipple.

  “More!” she pleaded as he drew back until the tip was resting inside her ass.

  “Try and push me out again, baby,” Raiden ordered in a raspy voice. “Now!”

  She bore down as he pushed forward, groaning as all the nerves in her rear entrance sparked to life. Shyann realized he was all the way inside her when she felt his pubis and belly pressed against her ass cheeks and back. Her lungs were working hard, air bellowing in and out as she gasped for breath.

  Her ass muscles clenched around his hot, thick, hard cock convulsively. She moaned when Raiden pinched and plucked at one nipple before doing the same to the other. Shyann shifted on her feet, shivering with hungry need when she felt his hard cock twitch inside her star.

  “Move!” she ordered. “Please!”

  “Whatever you want, baby.” Raiden tightened the arm he had around her waist as he drew back to the tip before driving his hard dick back into her ass. She moaned, and as he withdrew again, she slid a hand down toward her pussy.

  Raiden must have felt or seen her move, because he grasped her wrist, lifted her hand back up to the tile, and pressed it against the wall. “Let me, baby.” He caressed his hand over her arm toward her shoulder before cupping her breast, squeezing the nipple as he skimmed his other hand down over her torso toward her pussy.

  He dipped a finger into the top of her folds, pressing the pad against her clit. As soon as Shyann had his rhythmic thrusts down, she began to move her hips in counterthrust. Forward and back she moved, meeting him halfway as he drove his thick, hard cock back into her ass.

  She groaned when he began to rub her clit, his touch getting harder and faster with each pump of his hips, and while the pleasure was indescribably good, she needed more. However, she wasn’t sure what she needed to send her over the edge into climax.

  Nonetheless, Raiden must have known she was right on the edge. He caressed his fingers down through her soaked folds, rimmed her pussy entrance with his finger before shoving it up inside her hard and fast.

  She cried out as her legs began to tremble as she got closer and closer to climax, rocking her hips faster as Raiden increased the pace. He added another finger to her pussy as he applied pressure to her clit with his thumb.

  Liquid desire pooled low in her belly, cream dripping from her cunt as her internal walls got closer and closer together. Her legs began to shake harder, and she had no idea how she was still on her feet.

  She shook and shivered as the pressure grew, the coil gathering tighter and tighter together.

  And then he squeezed her clit.

  Shyann screamed as she flew toward the stars.

  Her ass clenched around Raiden’s pistoning cock before releasing and clamping down tightly again. She quivered and quaked as juices gushed from her pussy in carnal ecstasy.

  Raiden growled low and deep in his chest as he thrust into her, once, twice, three times more. On the fourth stroke he shoved in deep with a yell, his cock twitching and pulsing as he came, filling the condom with his cum.

  Aftershocks wracked her whole body, causing her to shake with nirvanic bliss. Her knees buckled, and if Raiden hadn’t had an arm around her waist holding her up, she would have slid to the shower floor in a melted puddle.

  Shyann shivered when Raiden kissed her neck, his ragged breath caressing her ear as he lifted his mouth from her skin. His hand brushed against her ass cheeks as he held on to the condom before he started to ease his cock from her ass. She moaned, and he groaned before he withdrew from her rosette.

  Shyann wanted to turn around to face him, to hug and hold him, but she wasn’t sure her legs would hold her weight. They were still trembling and felt as if they were the consistency of jelly.

  Thankfully, Raiden turned her in his arms, holding her tightly against his chest as they caught their breath. He nudged her gaze up to his with a finger under her chin and stared deeply into her eyes. “I love you so damned much, baby.”

  “I love you, too, Raiden,” she replied. Their lips met in a passionate, loving kiss before they drew away from each other.

  Raiden made sure she was steady on her feet before releasing her from his embrace to deal with the condom. Once it was tied off, he tossed the used prophylactic onto the bathmat before reaching for the shower gel.

  Shyann leaned against the tile wall, too replete to protest as she let him wash her body. As she rinsed the suds from her skin, she watched him wash himself. When she was clean, she stepped out of the shower onto the bathmat and grabbed a towel.

  Raiden joined her moments later.

  She couldn’t keep her eyes off of him. She watched the path his large, capable hands made as he dried himself. When they were done, he took the towel from her, hanging it up on the towel rail to dry before leading her out to the bedroom. Shyann didn’t bother to dress in clothes. Instead she pulled clean panties on, her sleeping shirt, and a robe. When she realized she hadn’t brushed her hair, she headed back into the bathroom.

  “You okay, baby?” Raiden asked as he entered the room.

  “Yeah.” She smiled at him happily as she picked up her hairbrush. “I’ll be out in a minute or so.”

  “Okay.” Raiden smiled at her before spinning on his heels and heading out.

  Shyann stared at herself in the mirror. There was a twinkle in her eyes
that hadn’t been there since her parents had died. She was in love, felt alive and happy for the first time in months.

  Raiden, Brigg, and Tane had brought her heart, her soul back to life. They were the kindest, most loving men she’d ever met. She still couldn’t believe that they loved her, but she wasn’t about to question it or doubt them. Doing so would jeopardize what they had. Their love was a wondrous gift she’d never thought to find.

  Shyann hurried out toward the kitchen. The tantalizing aroma of food assailing her nose had her mouth watering and her belly grumbling. She entered the room just as Brigg, Tane, and Raiden were carrying plates over to the table. When she saw how nice the table looked with candles, a vase of flowers in the middle, as well as crystal glasses and gleaming cutlery, her eyes stung with tears. Brigg and Tane had gone to a lot of effort to make everything look so pretty.

  “This is beautiful,” Shyann said as she walked across the room. “I’ve never seen anything like this since my mom died.”

  Tane turned toward her, clasped her hand in his, and brought it to his mouth, kissing the back of it. “We wanted to make tonight as special as you are, sweetness. When we saw how happy you were serving people at the library, Brigg and I decided we didn’t want your amazing day to end.”

  Shyann took the last step separating them, wrapped her arms around his waist, and hugged him tight. “You all do such sweet things for me.” She raised her gaze to his, careless of the tears she hadn’t been able to hold back, smiling at him tremulously.

  “Are these happy tears?” Brigg asked as he came up to her side, swiping her cheeks with his thumbs.

  “They are.” A sob escaped before she could stop it, but she was determined to get her overflowing emotions under control. She inhaled deeply before releasing the air in her lungs slowly. “You all spoil me so much.”

  “No, we don’t,” Tane said.

  “Get used to it, darlin’,” Brigg said at the same time as he dropped his arms back to his sides.

  Shyann went up on tiptoes as she clasped the back of Tane’s neck. Thankfully, he met her halfway so she could kiss him softly, lovingly on the lips. He winked at her as he drew back, and she turned to face Brigg. “You have no idea how much I appreciate what you’ve both done.” She embraced Brigg tightly. “You’ve given me a wonderful end to a great day.”
