From across the room, Hawke turned, his features like stone. “We’re not like white men. We’re half-breeds, remember?” He met Blade’s glare with one of his own. “She’s just going to have to get used to the fact that we’re not like other men.”
Understanding his sensitivity about being a half-breed, Sarah smiled. “Thank God. I like you just the way you are.”
Hawke blinked. “You do?”
Nodding, she wrapped her arms around herself, embarrassed at being naked while all three of her husbands were still dressed. “Of course. You’ve been very kind to me. That’s why it hurt so much to think you didn’t respect me. I know it’s silly, but—”
“It’s not silly at all.” Blade wrapped the cloth around her. “You just didn’t understand why one of us goes through the door first. It’s just our way. Do you feel better?”
“Much.” Grinning, she leaned back against Blade, the knots in her stomach loosening. “If you don’t respect me, you can’t like me, and I want you to like me.”
With a smile, Blade slid his hand inside the large, scratchy cloth. “We like you very much. Is that why you’re so determined to give us pleasure—so we’ll like you?”
Squirming, she sucked in a breath at the feel of his warm hands closing over her breasts. “Not exactly.”
“Why, exactly?”
Lulled by the seduction in Blade’s silky tone, Sarah lifted her arms to wrap them around his neck. Fascinated that every slide of his hands over her nipples sent an answering surge of hunger to her slit, Sarah moaned and watched Phoenix’s approach, not minding at all when the towel fell away. “My mother said that the reason men came to the whorehouse was because their wives didn’t like fulfilling their marital duties.”
Phoenix frowned, his gaze raking over her. “So you wanted us to go to the whorehouse in Tulsa?”
“No!” Sarah didn’t even want to imagine Hawke, Blade, or Phoenix in the arms of one of those women. Struggling to focus proved more difficult when Phoenix’s hands closed over her hips, his thumbs stroking her abdomen while Blade continued to tug at her nipples. “I thought if you didn’t think I liked it, you would respect me.”
Blade applied pressure and tugged lightly at her nipples, groaning softly when she moaned. “God save us from thinking women.”
Insulted, she gasped, a gasp that ended in a moan when Phoenix parted her folds and slid a finger over her clit, the resulting tingling sensation weakening her knees. “W–women who th–think too much get, um, themselves into t–trouble.”
Leaning against the post in the center of the room, Hawke stared at her with eyes narrowed to slits. “Our woman used her wits to get out of trouble.”
Straightening, he started toward her. “She’s smart and has good instincts.” He reached for the fastening of his leggings, his fingers working at the ties as he slowly closed the distance between them. “She has a sweet look about her, but she’s no shrinking violet.” He finished loosening his buckskin pants and shoved them down his legs, a small smile playing at his lips. “Are you, little one?”
Gasping at the sight of his cock, Sarah pushed back against Blade, her heart pounding. With Blade’s hands massaging her breasts, and Phoenix’s hand splayed over her abdomen, she trembled as she watched Hawke move closer. “Oh, God. I don’t think it’s gonna fit.”
Her pussy clenched at the thought of something that big and hard going into her.
Remembering the incident with Willy, she swallowed heavily, lifting her gaze to Hawke’s, alarmed to find the same need hardening his features.
The look in his eyes, though, gleamed with possessiveness instead of evil. He didn’t seem the least embarrassed about his nakedness, and moved slowly as he approached her as if knowing of her curiosity and needed some time to adjust to his nakedness before he slid into bed with her.
Wondering if all three of them planned to take her, she turned to look at Blade and Phoenix.
Blade smiled faintly and bent to nuzzle her neck. “No. Only Hawke will take you tonight. The first time will hurt a little and you’ll be sore afterward, so Phoenix and I will wait, but we want to be here when you lose your virginity. There’ll be times when we each want to be alone with you, but most of the time, we’ll be together when we take you.”
Sarah gulped, watching Hawke circle to the other side of the bed out of the corner of her eye, while keeping an eye on both Blade and Phoenix. “You’re going to watch us?”
Blade smiled. “Of course. If I can’t be the one taking my wife’s virginity, at least I’m going to watch.”
Naked, Hawke was even more intimidating—all copper skin and hard muscle.
Powerful muscles bunched and shifted with every step, emphasizing his masculinity and making his long, thick cock even more threatening.
Gulping again, she lifted her gaze to his, reassured by the tenderness and affection in his eyes. “Will you show me what to do?”
From behind her, Blade groaned. “That’s probably the most arousing thing I’ve ever heard a woman say before.”
Hawke extended a hand, smiling faintly when she readily placed her hand in his. “I need to wash off first. Come wash my back.”
* * * *
Hawke pulled her closer before climbing into the tub, moving slowly so as not to startle her. He’d seen the trepidation in her eyes, and hoped that letting her have the chance to touch him before he took her would ease some of her fears.
Bringing her hand to his lips seemed as natural as breathing, the delight in her eyes telling him that he’d made the right decision. “You said that you want to give us pleasure. It would give me a lot of pleasure to feel your hands on me.”
Her smile held relief, and he could see the tenseness in her body ease. “I’d like to touch you.” The hitch in her breath made his cock jump, his own body tightening at her nearness.
Confident that she was warm enough, he reached out to wrap a hand around her waist, keeping her beside him when she would have reached for the towel. “I want you naked. It’s hot in here anyway. Get the other bar of soap from the shelf.”
When she turned, he took advantage of the situation by running a hand over her lush ass. “I think I’m gonna like being bathed by a naked woman.”
Phoenix stretched out on the floor, leaning back on his hands and watching Sarah’s every move. “She’s got a nice ass, doesn’t she? Just knowing how tight she’s gonna be has me close to comin’ in my pants.”
Hawke stiffened, automatically reaching for Sarah as she turned back and pulling her protectively to his side. “She’s not one of the whores you’re used to.”
Blade dropped to the side of the tub, running his hands up and down Sarah’s legs. “No, she’s not. But that doesn’t mean we have to treat her as if she’s made of glass. After the way she responded earlier, I’m looking forward to exploring that passion.”
Hawke hid a smile when Sarah soaped a cloth and began washing his arms and shoulders, intrigued and aroused at the sensuality in every movement.
Hawke slid under the water, water sloshing over the sides as he dunked his head. Sitting up again, he leaned back, pushing his hair over the side of the tub to let it drip on the floor. Delighted by the hunger in her eyes, but well aware of her innocence, Hawke braced an arm on each side of the tub, hoping to appear less threatening. “Would you wash my hair?”
Sarah gulped and lifted her gaze to his, her eyes alight with anticipation. “Of course.”
Noticing that as her arousal grew, she appeared less and less self-conscious about her nakedness, Hawke shared a look with his brothers.
By unspoken agreement, all three of them had adopted non-threatening positions in an attempt to get their naked wife to settle some and get comfortable being naked in their presence.
Whenever she got within arm’s reach of any of them, they reached out to touch her—soft caresses that drew moans from her.
Watching her lather her hands, he bit back a groan, struggling not to imagine her soap-sli
cked hands on his cock.
Setting the soap aside, she moved in behind him. “Are you ready?”
Sharing a smile with Blade, Hawke fisted his hands on the sides of the tub. “Very.”
Sliding her hands through his hair, she sighed. “It’s so soft.”
Blade rose and slowly moved toward her. “Not as soft as yours.”
Tilting his head back, Hawke watched Blade move in behind her, his hands coming around her to cover her breasts. “You like being naked in front of us, don’t you?”
Sarah blushed, arching her breasts into Blade’s hands while her hands firmed in Hawke’s hair, scrubbing his scalp with increasing speed. “I can feel your eyes on me, but it doesn’t feel the way it did when Willy looked at me.”
Hawke dunked his head under the water again to rinse the soap away, quickly sitting up again. “Come here, little one.”
Using one hand to sluice the water from his face, he snaked the other around her waist to pull her to his side. “That’s because you know we won’t hurt you. You’re beginning to trust us, aren’t you?”
Blade’s eyes narrowed. “She trusted you from the start. For Phoenix and me, it’s taking a little longer.”
Sarah shrugged, wrapping her hand around Hawke’s forearm. “I just feel safe with all of you, but kind of nervous at the same time.”
Blade bent to nuzzle her neck, his fingers dancing over her nipples. “You are safe with us. We’d never hurt you.” Sliding a hand down her body, he parted her folds, giving Hawke a clear view of her slit, which had him fighting not to spill his seed. “But you’re smart enough to be nervous, because we’re going to teach you things about yourself you’ve never even imagined.”
His hand flattened and came down on her clit, eliciting a cry from her. “Like how good a little pain can feel.”
Hawke cursed under his breath, fighting for control when moisture leaked from his cock. His balls tightened painfully when Sarah’s shocked cry became a pleasure-filled moan and she began to rock her hips against Blade’s hand.
Blade smiled down at her, his eyes filled with pride and possessiveness. “See, honey? That little sting only made the hunger stronger.”
Watching her, Hawke hurriedly finished washing himself, anxious to sink his cock deep. Knowing that he had to be gentle with his virgin bride, he took several deep breaths in an effort to rein in his need. Rising to his feet, he glanced over at Phoenix’s approach, his chest swelling at the wonder in his youngest brother’s eyes. Holding out his hand, he stepped out of the tub. “Cloth. Now.”
* * * *
Sarah gasped, stunned at the change in him.
Hawke went from patient watchfulness to hungry warrior in an instant.
Alarmed at the fierce hunger in his eyes and the power in the body that strode toward her, she attempted to step back, a whimper escaping when Blade’s arms closed around her from behind.
“Easy, honey. Hawke wants you.” His soft chuckle against her ear sent a shiver through her. “It looks like he can’t wait anymore.”
She gulped again, wrapping her arms around herself. “Hawke?”
To her surprise, he dropped to his knees in front of her. Without hesitation, his hands closed over her hips, his firm grip sending her off balance. “You know damned well I won’t hurt you. I want a taste of what’s mine.”
Caught by Blade from behind, she cried out when Hawke parted her folds, her breath catching when Hawke touched his tongue to her clit.
Laughing softly, Phoenix bent to touch his tongue to her nipple. “Hawke looks pretty hungry. You’d better spread those thighs wide and give him what he wants.”
Hawke licked her slit again, his eyes glittering and so dark they appeared black. “Don’t try to scare her, Phoenix.”
Fisting a hand in her hair, Blade pulled her head to the side and scraped his teeth over her neck. “No. That’s my job.”
Shocked at Hawke’s raw hunger, and Blade’s threatening tone, she cried out again, lost in pleasure and nerves. Shivers of delight raced up and down her spine, the attention to her clit and her nipple sharpening her arousal to a fever pitch. “God! I can’t stop shaking. Please. Do something.”
Hawke straightened, wrapped an arm around her, and sent her tumbling onto his bed. “I’m about to.”
Hawke eased her to her back and reached out to touch his fingertip to her nipple, making it throb. “Yes, little one. You like my touch.” He sounded so surprised by that, and she felt herself drawn closer. “Look at me.” Staring down at her, his eyes gentled as he slid a hand down her body. “You tremble, but there’s no fear in your eyes. Just desire.”
Humbled that what she felt mattered to him, Sarah parted her legs wider and arched toward him, wanting him more with every passing second. “Yes. You make me feel things I never imagined.” Sliding a hand into his long, damp hair, she tried to smile, but the slide of his finger over her clit made nothing but a cry of delight possible.
Brushing his lips over hers, he groaned and continued to caress her clit, making her hot all over. “All ours.”
The reminder that Blade and Phoenix watched had her reaching for Hawke.
Wrapping her arms around his neck, she thrilled at the coolness of his long, straight hair gliding through her fingers. “It feels good to belong to you. I never thought I’d belong to anyone this way. You’re so gentle with me.”
Hawke’s eyes narrowed, glittering with something that made her stomach flutter and sent a rush of moisture from her pussy. “It won’t always be this gentle. There are times that I need more, and it’ll be rougher, but I won’t hurt you. I want you to remember that.”
Sarah stiffened, but he covered her lips with his, the pressure forcing her to part her lips to allow him inside. Moaning at the feel of his tongue sliding against hers, she hung on to him as warm desire overtook her.
His kiss had a different taste than that of his brothers, the slow slide of his tongue over hers gentle, but demanding.
Lifting his head, he stared down at her with eyes narrowed to slits. “It doesn’t mean I don’t like you, or respect you. It means I want you too much to find the kind of pretty words and gentleness you need tonight.”
Gripping his hair, she pulled him closer, lifting her hips in invitation. “I need you. I love the way it feels when you hold me.” Her words came out in nothing more than a rush of breath, but the flare of heat in Hawke’s eyes told her that he’d heard her. “Please. I want to be yours.”
“You are.” Lifting her face higher, he stared into her eyes while his fingers moved against her slit. “Make no mistake about that.”
She writhed against him, needing more. She moved her thigh against his cock, stilling when she realized it felt as hard as iron.
Apprehensive now, but with a need that wouldn’t be denied, Sarah whimpered, burying her face against his throat. She heard the splash of water, and turned her head slightly to find both Blade and Phoenix rinsing their naked soaped bodies with buckets full of water from the tub, soaking the wood floor.
Blade hurriedly ran the cloth over himself, wringing out his now loose hair before hurrying to her side. Reclining next to the mattress, he ran his hand over her other breast, tugging at her nipple. “You belong to all of us.”
Sarah gasped when he lifted her hand to the pillow above her head, a move that left her breast unprotected and left her feeling even more vulnerable. “Oh, God. I don’t know what to do.”
Phoenix knelt behind Blade’s legs, pulling her knee up and spreading her wider. “Let us worry about that. Just lie back and enjoy.”
Hawke moved over her, covering her body with his. Bracing himself on his elbows, he cupped her face, his own just inches from hers. “I’m sorry that this first time is gonna hurt. I’ll be as gentle as I can, but the first time always hurts for a virgin.”
Swallowing a moan at the thought of Willy’s evilness, she looked at each of them. “Thank God it’s you. I don’t even want to think about how—”
Ha
wke stiffened, his eyes going hard. “He didn’t—and won’t. It’s just us. As slow and gentle as you need.”
Reaching up with her right hand, she cupped his cheek, smiling at the flare of satisfaction in his eyes. “I trust you.”
Phoenix lifted her leg, his lips warm as they ran over her calf. “Little by little, you’ll learn to trust us, too.”
Sarah couldn’t look away from the intensity of Hawke’s dark gaze as he positioned his cock at her pussy opening, trembling when he slid a hand under her bottom and lifted it. “Hawke?”
She wrapped her free leg around him, an instinctive movement that felt so natural, but that Hawke had apparently been waiting for.
Suddenly, he was completely between her legs, his powerful thighs pushing hers up and wider. “Easy, little one.”
The feel of his cock against her pussy opening shocked her into stilling, the heat of it startling. “Hawke! Oh, God. It’s there.”
Blade murmured to her in a soothing tone before glancing at Hawke. “Be careful with her.”
“Shut up, Blade.” Groaning, he pushed his cock more firmly against her. “I know it’s there, Sarah. Right against your hot little pussy. Easy, little one.” Hawke brushed his lips over hers, nibbling softly at her bottom lip. “Taking a virgin requires patience.” Lifting his head he smiled faintly, his smile filled with tension as he slid his fingers over her clit. “But our little one’s more than ready to be taken, and I don’t want to make her wait. She’s getting ready to come and I want to take her before she does.”
Taking her mouth with his in a kiss filled with tenderness, Hawke began to push his cock into her.
Whimpering when it started to burn, she bucked against him, gasping when the head of his cock pushed through her hymen and into her.
Aware of Blade’s lips on her arm and his hand closing on hers, she stiffened, stunned by the hard fullness filling her.
