Cassius thrust into her several more times before he came. As he pulled out of her and she went to lower down, he turned her around and kissed her hard on the mouth. He lifted her up as he stood and she wrapped her thighs against his hips and hugged him back. “Never going to let you go, Emerson. Not ever.”
Chapter 6
“You have got to be kidding me?” Faith asked Emerson after Emerson told her about her weekend with the Lawsen men. Faith’s jaw dropped and Genesis shook her head.
“Girl, you didn’t listen to me about taking your time at all, but damn, how was it? How super-hot are they? Were they nice, or rough? How were the other two brothers, Raven and Beretta?” Genesis asked.
Emerson felt her cheeks warm as she laughed. “I do not kiss and tell.”
“Shit, well, it must have been hot. She didn’t even go on a date with them,” Faith said and gave Emerson a nudge to her arm.
“It was sort of a date. Plus none of us planned things to go the way they did. It happened, and I’ll tell ya both, I don’t regret it,” Emerson said with confidence. Even though she still felt a bit uneasy.
“I wouldn’t regret having sex all weekend long with guys as hot as them either,” Genesis said.
Faith laughed and fanned her face. “Watch my virginal ears, please,” Faith said and they laughed some more.
“So, are we still on for Monday night and that concert in Benter or will your men forbid it?” Genesis teased.
“Oh God, I totally forgot about that,” Emerson replied.
“Not surprising, all things considered. Do you think they’ll let you go?” Faith asked her.
“I don’t know. I mean, I’m sure it will be fine. This is new and we’re just starting to, I guess, date,” she said.
“It wasn’t just sex, was it? I mean they talked about making a commitment? About talking to Sheriff McCabe and claiming guardianship?” Genesis asked her.
Emerson exhaled. “We didn’t talk about guardianship.”
Genesis and Faith looked concerned. “Did they say anything indicating it was more than just sex?” Genesis asked her.
“They said I belonged to them. That this was real. I told them about my ex, and I know they were sincere. It’s hard for them, too. To commit, to take the chance on making it official with the Sheriff. Besides, I held back a little, as well. We agreed to go slow.”
“Honey, a ménage is not going slow,” Faith said.
“Definitely not on the first date, or not date but encounter. They must be a force to reckon with. The poor thing didn’t stand a chance,” Genesis teased her.
“Well, it’s done, and if going slow is what you all need then so be it,” Faith added.
They headed back to work as the bar got more crowded, and she prayed she hadn’t made a mistake. As she thought that thought her gut clenched and in her head she thought about the men and what they shared with her. They talked a lot over the weekend, in between making love, and making plans. This was real, and maybe she felt insecure even now because they weren’t right here with her. Obviously she missed them.

“What do you have, Jeb?” Cassius asked as he joined him by the parking lot and wooded area. The call came in about another homicide. A female, beaten, raped and left out in the open. The word “whore” was cut into her chest.
As Jeb explained just as the coroner arrived on the scene, Cassius took in the sight of the victim. He could hardly tell what her face looked like, she was so battered. “Another brunette,” he said.
“We’re confirming the victim’s identity right now, and unfortunately it seems she may be the girlfriend to a few brothers from Mavis County. She was reported missing three days ago,” Alex said to him.
“I couldn’t even imagine. Jesus, this guy, whomever he is, is sick. Now he’s going after women who are in ménage relationships?” Jeb asked aloud.
“It upsets me, too, but it doesn’t follow his MO. I’m thinking maybe it’s the look of the woman. Those distinguishing features she has, and nothing more. The brown hair, petite build, maybe even the same personality or profession. We’d have to see when the identity is confirmed,” Cassius said to them. As they discussed it further Cassius thought about Emerson. About how beautiful she was, and sexy. He felt protective and possessive of her, and it only got worse as the day went on, and the investigation took an even crazier turn.
He texted his brothers and informed them that he wouldn’t be making it home. He wanted to tell them to keep eyes on Emerson. They would have the weekend together again as soon as they got through her working Thursday, Friday and Saturday night.
“We might have a lead,” Alex said to them as he ended the call on his cell phone.
“What?” Cassius asked.
“A couple who were out at a shopping center in Closter said they saw the victim struggling with some boxes to get into the trunk of her car. A tall guy, muscular, wearing green camo pants, a black hooded sweatshirt, and hunter patterned hat went over to assist. The woman said she watched because she’s a romantic. Thought maybe both were single and they just met because he helped her.”
“Seriously?” Jeb asked.
“Yeah well, she watched, and noticed the guy get a little too friendly. He stroked our victim’s arm after helping her and the victim stepped back and shook her head. He said something to her and she pointed at him, and quickly got into her car. The guy walks away to the side of the building.”
“They didn’t have a better description of the guy, or maybe the vehicle he was driving?” Jeb asked.
“No, but maybe if we send some police over there to case the surrounding stores and talk to other people, someone else could have seen something,” Alex said.
“Let’s do it. We need to catch this guy before another innocent woman gets killed,” Cassius said.
“We also have a connection to the first victim and that bar again. Looks like a federal agency is investigating some kind of small drug operation in that town. When we started digging about the drugs, our commander got a call to back down. That there was an undercover operation in progress and they were getting closer to identifying the key players. I have some names, and patrons that frequent the place,” Alex told them.
“Did you get that list I came up with, the one with the retired military guys?” Jeb asked.
“I did, and added it to the profile Cassius came up with. Any of these guys could fit the bill. The thing is, with the feds investigating, they’ll be right there if our killer makes a move.”
“He knows it then. He must know that there are at minimum unfamiliar faces around the bar and town. He could also be looking to stay undetected by branching out. It may not be personal, like he knows the victim, remember. It’s more psychological. He has an image, a person in his head he may be trying to torture and kill over and over again,” Cassius said.
“Or that person is an actual person and he just can’t find her, so he’s going after these women,” Alex said.
“Either way, we’re getting closer. If we could just get a print, some forensic evidence to link this guy to the murders, and to help identify him,” Cassius said.
“Let’s work with what we have. It’s going to take some time, but we need to thoroughly explore all the avenues we have,” Alex added and they agreed.

Saturday morning, 4:00 a.m., and Emerson had just arrived at her house after working all night at Harper’s. She was so tired. She glanced at the house next door and she longed to feel her men holding her, kissing her and making love to her. She lifted her cell phone and texted them that she was home, just as she had done Thursday morning when she got home a little earlier. She hit send and as she got out of the car she saw the light go on next door and one of the men appeared. Simultaneously she got the text back to her from all of them.
Cassius closed the space between them. He wore a pair of sweats and a T-shirt and looked incredible. “God, baby, you work so hard,” he said and pulled her into his arm
s. He ran his hands along her back and then to her ass. “I thought we talked about these short shorts?” he said to her and then lifted her up into his arms.
She straddled his waist and laid her head against his shoulder. “I’m so tired. I need a shower and sleep.”
“I’ll take care of you. I need you, baby,” he said to her and she heard something in his voice. Something different. She allowed him to carry her to their house. Harley was by the door. He closed it after Cassius carried her inside and then down the hallway. When he set her feet down on the rug in the bedroom Harley looked her over as she dropped her bag onto the floor.
“God damn, you look as good as when you left for work last night,” he said to her and pulled her into his arms and kissed her. She kissed him back and she heard the shower running. When Harley released her lips he gave her a wink. “I’ll wait for you. Cassius needs you,” he said and she squinted. Felt a light ache in her belly, but before she could question why, Cassius took her hand and led her into a huge master bathroom. There was a big walk in shower all in earth-toned stonework. It was like something out of a fancy magazine.
“This is incredible in here,” she said, looking around, trying to take in the whole décor, but Cassius had more important matters on his mind as he unclipped her shorts and pressed them and her panties down.
“Get undressed,” he ordered and she immediately lifted her top up and over her head. She tossed off her sneakers as he divested himself quickly of his clothing. She watched as he shoved his sweats down and his thick, long cock tapped against his belly. It was huge and she wanted to taste him. He led her into the shower and she immediately lowered down to suck on his cock.
“Fuck.” He exhaled, held her shoulder and neck with one hand and the other he placed palm first against the wall. She felt his hips rock and she bobbed her head in sync. “You’re so damn sexy, woman, and your mouth is incredible. You’re giving, and sweet, sexy and—”
He pulled back, lifted her up and hugged her to him. He maneuvered his cock against her pussy as he kissed her hard on the mouth. He was desperate. Seemed desperate to have her, to hold her. At first she was afraid that he did something wrong, or something that could upset her. Cheat on me? Could he have? Is that really why he has been gone the last few days? She panicked a moment but then he shoved into her pussy and moaned against her neck as he released her lips. He held her tight. She was smushed against the stone wall, her legs against his hips and he slid a palm to her ass, gripped it. She felt his fingers against the crack and he pounded into her. “No more fucking short shorts. Try not to look so damn sexy and act so sweet. Be unapproachable,” he said to her as he thrust into her over and over again. She didn’t know what he was rambling about as she gripped his hair and head and made him look at her in the eyes. She saw turmoil, darkness and then such emotions her gut clenched.
“Something is wrong?” He shook his head. “No, tell me.”
He thrust into her and ignored her plea. “Later. Let me love you. Let me feel my woman and be the closest we can be where you’re safe and sound and with my brothers and I. Where we can protect you and feel you right here. Right fucking here.” He thrust and thrust until he found his release. When he did he kept her in place against the wall. He caressed her arms, her hips, her breast as he kissed her neck, her jaw and then her lips. He pressed his forehead against hers as she tried catching her breath. “I missed you so much. Needed to get rid of these feelings I had inside. Like I could lose you.”
She cupped his cheeks and held his gaze. “Lose me how? How?” she asked and tears filled her eyes and she didn’t even know why. Was it insecurity or a foreshadowing of sorts?
“I’m rambling.” He stroked her cheek, kissed her softly on the lips.
“Talk to me. You’re scaring me.”
He held her gaze. “Don’t be afraid. I don’t mean to scare you. It’s just this damn case I’m helping out with. It’s hitting home.”
“Hitting home, why?”
“I can’t talk about it. I’m trying to process everything, and it’s hard to separate work from personal feelings, from happiness, you know? Like I get to share you with my brothers, to have a woman who has connected us like nothing else in our lives, and other people, other men, might never get that chance, or might have had things but then lost them. It’s just a process. I needed you, and you know what?” he asked as he pulled from her body and lowered her feet to the floor in the shower.
“What?” she asked him as he grabbed the shampoo and began to wash her up.
“Making love to you. You letting me bring you here so my brothers and I could make love to you makes me feel a bit better. Also, makes me not take for granted what we have,” he told her.
She smiled. “I missed you so much, too,” she told him as she tilted her head back to rinse her hair.
He started to wash her body with soap and then caressed her breasts. “I guess we should make sure that we’re never apart for too long then, huh?” he asked.
She rinsed her body and the soap and conditioner. “You think that might work?” she asked and then ran her palms up his chest to his shoulders and neck as he turned off the water then smiled at her.
“Definitely, baby.”

Beretta held a towel for Emerson as she got out of the shower. He gave his brother Cassius a wink, and knew by his facial expression that Cassius was feeling a little bit better making love to their woman. He had explained about the case, and how he felt considering their new relationship with Emerson. Of course that got them discussing guardianship and talking to Kane. First they needed to make sure that Emerson was on board with them. He kissed her neck and she nuzzled against his shoulder. “Are you too tired to make love to the rest of us?”
“Never too tired,” she said and he smiled. He brought her into the room and placed her feet on the floor in front of the bed. The towel fell from her body and he stepped back, pushed off his sweats. He licked his lips and his cock grew hard immediately. He gripped her hips and lifted her up. She gasped, held on to him as he lowered her to her bed and feasted on her breasts. The feel of her hands running through his hair as he explored her body touched him deep in his heart. He released her nipple and continued down a path to her pussy.
“Raise those arms up above your head. Offer us all of you,” Raven demanded and Beretta felt Emerson shiver. She looked to the right as Raven knelt onto the bed, stroking his cock.
“I’m joining in, bro,” Raven said and Harley was there too now.
“I feel so much I’m not just watching,” Harley said and even Cassius was there now, too.
“Oh God. How do you do this to me? Make me want to give you everything, all of me?” she asked.
Beretta lined his cock up with her pussy as Harley and Raven cupped her breasts, and Raven leaned down to kiss her lips. “Because you belong to us, just as we belong to you. We want to make love to you together, baby. We want to claim guardianship of you. To talk to Kane tomorrow and make it official. We want it all with you,” Raven said to her.
Beretta thrust right into her and she gasped as tears fell from her eyes. “Oh God, yes. Yes, I want it, too. I accept.”
Beretta held her by her hips as Raven lifted up and Harley was right there looking at her and Cassius, too. “You accept us to make love to you together? In every hole, baby. All of us claiming you together and making a commitment? A permanent one?” Cassius asked.
“Yes. Yes, I want to belong to you forever. I want you as my men, my family forever.”
“We want that, too,” Raven said.
“I’ll grab the lube,” Harley said and then Beretta thrust into her. He pressed her to the bed and she hugged him tight, kissed his neck as Beretta felt his heart racing. He was in love with her already. He knew it. The thought of her out of their sight ran havoc on each of them. He rolled to his back, taking her with him. She lifted up and her long, brown hair, now damp from the shower, fell against her breasts.
He
cupped them. “Ride me, baby, then get ready for Harley,” he told her and she gripped on to his shoulders and rocked back and forth on top of Beretta.
“Here we go, love. Here we go,” Harley said, climbing up onto the bed. Beretta ran his fingers through her hair, pulled her slightly as Harley bent down and he kissed her. Beretta thrust upward as he pulled on her nipples. She moaned and rocked her hips then Harley gave her a wink.
“Together, the way it will be forever,” he said to her and he moved back, adjusted his position and she lowered her mouth to Harley’s cock. The sight nearly made Beretta come.
“She looks so incredible. Look at her suck on Harley’s cock. It’s good, is it, Harley?” Beretta asked.
“So damn good. You feel that, bro? All of us so close, together like this, man.”
“I feel it,” Beretta said and then Emerson tightened up.
“Ease those muscles, baby, I’m getting to be the first one to fuck this ass and claim you my woman. Ease them now. Accept our power, our control, our love for you, baby,” Raven told her and she moaned and rocked her ass back against their brother’s fingers.
“That’s it. Such a good girl. You’ll be rewarded, baby. We’re going to take good care of you always,” Cassius said and caressed her back and her ass.
“I feel so much. This connection is amazing,” Harley said and he slowed his strokes.
“Fuck yeah. Get in her ass, Raven. I’m so close,” Beretta admitted.
“Take your time. I want her wet and feeling no pain,” Cassius ordered.
“She’s more than ready. Here I come,” Raven said and eased his fingers from her ass, replaced them with his cock and began to nudge his way in. “Relax, baby. We’re one,” Raven said and then shoved all the way in. They all moaned and Beretta felt how tight she was. He could hardly move. “Holy fuck. Oh Emerson, Oh yeah, fuck yeah, you’re so tight. My God, I can’t take it. I fucking can’t,” Raven grunted.
