Starting Over Read online

  “She needs more convincing,” Rhett said from behind Jeb.

  Jeb spread her thighs and then heard her moan. She lifted her torso and a glance up as he sucked on her clit, alternated fingers then tongue, he saw Everett raise her arm up, cup her other breast, and pull on the nipple as he lowered his mouth to hers. Once again, they did away with the talking.

  “Let go and feel, baby. Feel how real and fucking perfect this is between all of us,” he said, and then he adjusted his position, aligned his cock with her cunt, and shoved right in.

  She moaned. “Oh God, Jeb. Jeb,” she cried out, and he felt her pussy muscles tighten around his cock.

  The sight of Everett and Coda holding her arms above her head as they sucked and teased her tits had him on the edge, ready to come already. “Mine. You’re fucking mine now, Adalee. Mine!” he roared and came.

  She was panting for breath, and as his brothers released her arms, she reached up and hugged him to her. He kissed her lips, her neck and then looked into her eyes. “It’s only going to get deeper. This connection, this bond.”

  “I never felt anything like this,” she admitted, and he could see the vulnerability, the emotions in her eyes.

  “Neither have I, and neither have the four of us. This is different, it’s special, and resisting it isn’t going to happen. In fact, knowing my brothers, it will be a goddamn miracle if they even let you leave this bed any time soon,” he said and winked.

  She chuckled, ran her fingers through his hair, and cupped his cheek. “How do you soldiers say it? Shock and awe?” she asked.

  “Oh yeah, and we’re next,” Coda said, and Jeb eased up from between her legs, and Coda slid into position next to her as Rhett took his place, but then rolled her back over so she now straddled Coda. She gasped, lifted up, her long black hair fell over her breasts, and she held onto Coda’s shoulders. “Sweet Jesus, you’re an angel. A young, beautiful, sexy angel,” he said, and she smiled.

  “Making love to four men makes me feel more like a naughty devil,” she said and they chuckled.

  “Oh, the night is young, sweetheart, and we got your sexy ass to explore a bit more,” Rhett said as he caressed and squeezed along her ass.

  “Oh God,” she whispered.

  Coda laughed. “Ride me, baby. Make me holler your name,” he said, encouraging her.

  Jeb smiled and locked gazes with Everett, who winked, and it shocked him. They were all smiling. All looking happy as they made love to Adalee and claimed her their woman. She was a gift from heaven.

  Adalee was shocked at the thoughts and the sensations going through her mind and her body. As she rode Coda, wanting to be good for him, to make him holler her name, she locked gazes with Everett, who held his cock in his hand and waited his turn. These men were freaking gorgeous, wild, sexy, and seasoned in more ways than one. She felt overwhelmed, protected, and fulfilled when they made love, and it shocked her. She knew this was different, and she knew she was letting down her defenses more and more as she imagined letting them take her together. She had had three lovers in her life, and none came remotely close to what she felt for one of these men, never mind all four of them.

  The sight of Everett stroking his cock as she rode Coda made her react. She lowered down, cupped his balls, and then looked at him as Coda pinched her nipple and thrust upward into her. “I need you, too,” she said, and he nodded, stared at her body and her breasts, making them somehow tingle more, swell more than they already were with Coda pinching and tugging on them. She licked Everett’s cock, and he gripped her hair. He held the locks, and she moaned now.

  When she felt hands on her hips and ass from behind and then something cool and thick push into her asshole, she knew it was Rhett using some lube. They mentioned to her the process, and about getting her ready to be taken by all four of them. To have a cock in every hole, and she realized as she rocked back against his fingers, as she moved her hips to accept Coda’s cock in and out of her cunt and she focused also on pleasing Everett as she sucked him down, that she wanted it all. She never did anything halfway, and surely she wouldn’t now.

  “So tight and sexy. Jesus, Adalee, you’re coming so much. I can’t wait until we take you together,” Rhett said.

  “She looks amazing. She’s all ours, Rhett. Our woman right here. My God, we need to spread word fucking fast,” she heard Jeb say, and she moaned from their possessive words.

  Everett eased his cock from her lips. “Oh God,” she said on a sigh.

  “You feel it, baby?” Rhett asked her as he pumped fingers into her asshole.

  “Yes, it feels naughty, wicked,” she said, and Everett chuckled.

  “All good stuff. You’re so fucking hot, so sexy. I can’t wait for us to claim every hole. To fill up this sexy mouth, that wet, tight cunt, and sexy ass. Fuck, I love watching you walk in jeans, but when I see you in a skirt, all I think of doing is lifting it up and thrusting into your cunt from behind,” he said to her.

  “Yes,” she moaned, and Everett kissed her.

  It was all too much. Coda’s strokes upward into her cunt. He was big, muscular, sexy, and then Rhett used his thick fingers to slide in and out of her asshole somehow making her cunt cream more. Her breasts ached for attention, her mouth wanting to suck and feel Everett’s cock again.

  “I want to make this perfect. Make it official. Take me together. Do it,” she said to Everett.

  “Adalee, are you sure?” Coda asked.

  “Yes, oh God, yes, please, my body aches for more. For more,” she said and moaned and came again.

  “Do it. Together, let’s make it official tonight,” Jeb said.

  “Fuck yeah.” Everett leaned down and kissed her, and then he released her lips and eased his cock back to her mouth.

  She took him in with hunger and desire. She matched her sucks to Coda’s thrusts, and then she felt Rhett’s fingers pull from her asshole. She felt the loss, wanted to complain, but the tip of his cock was at her asshole. His one large, warm hand on her hip.

  “I’m coming in, Adalee. You’re going to be all ours. No turning back, you belong to the Perkins men,” he said and eased his cock into her asshole as her heart ached and pounded with anticipation and then arousal beyond anything she ever felt before. “Fuck!” Rhett roared, and he began to thrust into her asshole.

  She almost slowed her pace sucking on Everett, but he wouldn’t let her. “Keep sucking on me. Keep moving, accepting your men’s power, control, possession of you in every way. You’re so goddamn beautiful. I’m next to fuck that ass, Adalee,” Everett said, and then Rhett roared and she came. He grunted and then cursed. But as he pulled out and her body seemed to want more, Jeb took his place.

  “Motherfucker, look at this ass, at this sexy body. We’re doomed,” he said, and Jeb slid his cock to her asshole and nudged his way in. She moaned on Everett’s cock.

  “I’m not coming in this mouth. Oh fuck, I’m coming,” he said, feeling overwhelmed and so aroused by her body, her beauty, as he shot his load, and she swallowed.

  When he eased from her mouth, she felt her head spin and her vision blur. “Holy God. Holy God!” she repeated and then moaned as Coda and Jeb thrust into her body so hard so fast she cried out and fell to Coda’s chest as they came with her.

  She realized a moment later as she felt the washcloth between her legs and the kisses to her body, along with mumbled words of concern and then love, that she might have blacked out a little. She couldn’t even open her eyes as she absorbed how she felt.

  “You okay?” Coda asked, caressing her body.

  “More than okay. I want to stay just like this. Lost in the feelings, the sensations that you four just exposed me to. I want it all. I want it constantly and forever,” she rambled.

  Rhett leaned over her and kissed her back and shoulder. “We want it, too, and together, as one family we get to have it all the time. You’re ours now, and we’re all yours,” he said and kissed her again.

  She snuggled against
Coda and felt Everett behind her, bringing the blanket over her body, and they lay there as she fell asleep and felt like peacefulness was finally touching her soul.

  Chapter 5

  Charlotte “Charlie” McCabe walked into her brother’s house and was greeted by Kane, Culter, Chase, and Fox along with their woman, Athena. Athena was absolutely stunning, and she could sense the love, the connection between them all, and she felt envious and happy for them.

  “My God, look at you, and your hair, too. It’s so long,” Chase said and hugged her to him.

  “You look a little thin, sis,” Fox pointed out after he hugged her.

  “More like in very good physical condition considering I was mostly on a military base and not much to do in between work but work out and train like the regular staff,” she said.

  “It suits you well. Maybe you’ll join Corey’s gym?” Culter said to her, and she gave him a sideways glance but then looked at Athena.

  “You are stunning. I see why my brothers are head over heels for you.”

  “Thank you so much. You’re more beautiful than the pictures they showed me,” Athena said as they embraced.

  “How are you feeling after the incident? Is the therapy going well?” Charlie asked her.

  “It’s wonderful, and Capricorn is a gem. He’s helped me so much,” Athena said to her,

  “Excellent. He’s a great guy, was an awesome soldier as I’m sure my brothers explained, and he’s the best around,” Charlie said to her.

  “How about something to drink before we have dinner?” Kane asked her, and she smiled.

  “Vodka and club soda,” she said.

  “Since when?” Fox asked.

  “Since I hung out with a bunch of clean-eating, body perfectionists that told me how many calories were in a glass of wine and a traditional cocktail as opposed to vodka. Now it’s my choice of drink.”

  “Hmm, interesting, but looking at you, I’d say you could stand to gain a few pounds,” Fox said with concern.

  She reached out and squeezed his arm. “I’m fine, Fox. In fact, I think I’m going to continue the military regimen while back in Cherry Hill. Estella is on board, too, so this should be great.”

  “So you’re back to work Monday?” Athena asked her.

  “Yes, and I’m sure I will get filled up really quickly with the schedule. I understand you have some new residents in Cherry Hill you’re concerned with?” she asked Kane as Fox handed her the vodka and club soda.

  They all clinked glasses and beer bottles, and then Kane spoke to her. “There have been a few concerns, and I’m working on convincing certain people to seek your advice.”

  “Well, I should be back on schedule this week. I took last night and this morning to recover from jet lag. Tonight I’ll hit the grocery store.”

  “I thought I got everything you needed?” Chase asked, as he knew she was coming home, and he shopped for some basics and then brought them to her small house.

  “You did great, and I truly appreciate the help. I just needed a few other things, and since the store will be open in Central Valley, I’ll grab them and then hopefully get a good night’s sleep in anticipation for Monday.”

  “It’s great to have you back, sis. We’ve been wanting you to meet Athena, and also to be safe and back in the US and here in Cherry Hill,” Kane said.

  “Well it’s good to be back, and I’m sure Athena and I will get along great. Maybe do lunch in Central Valley near the medical center this week?” she asked.

  “If you’re up to it, definitely,” Athena said.

  “I can bring her in and drop her off to you, and then come back after you’re done,” Chase said.

  “I could take the bus, or even the truck,” Athena said.

  “Not happening. No place alone, remember?” Culter said to her and brought Athena’s hand to his lips and kissed her knuckles.

  Charlie felt envious once again but also so happy for her brothers. She didn’t think they would ever settle down or like the same woman, but they did, and they fell in love with Athena. Charlie wished she could let her guard down. She almost did when she was away, but once things got a little heavy, and a make-out session with one of the medical doctors on the base almost led her to having sex again, she thought of five men back home, and she couldn’t do it. As much as she tried to convince herself that she was lonely and needed sex, a natural human desire, and that perhaps sleeping with Western a sexy heartthrob military doctor could ease her ache, she couldn’t do it. She felt guilty, and it aggravated her. Nothing happened between her and Titus, the sheriff of Central Valley, or his brothers, Corey, Aleck, and Mavis. So why was she missing them, when all she did was push them away when she was in Texas?

  She smiled as her brothers talked about new things going on in town, some new unexpected relationships forming, and the beauty of Cherry Hill and Central Valley, and all they had to offer those in need. Especially ones with broken hearts and dangerous pasts. She fell into that category, too, but her focus once she lost Tavern, the man she thought she was going to marry soon changed to saving others. The soldier who had put her through hell, only to strike her before he left for another tour before committing suicide in the field. She had failed him. Failed to save his life, to see all the signs, the need, and find a way to rescue him. She closed up her heart, her emotions, and focused on all those other soldiers and their families who suffered and could be saved. For many, she was their last hope, but her own scars held her back from taking another chance. Plus there were four Mullen brothers. All military, or retired, all commanding, authoritative soldiers like Tavern had been, and all with an ability to touch her heart, but she denied the feelings and wouldn’t let them in.

  She pushed those thoughts aside like she had for the last three years. Life went on, and there were soldiers, first responders, who needed help, and she was determined to help as many as she possibly could.

  Sheriff Titus Mullen had to do a double take when he saw the woman with the long blond hair walk into the shopping center in town. It couldn’t be her. He didn’t even hear she was back in the States. He watched, looked for her crossover SUV, and saw it in the parking lot. It was Charlie. His heart started to pound inside of his chest. How could some five-foot-four sexy little woman do this to a man his size and with his demeanor? Six feet four, wide shoulders, huge muscles, a mean, straight-shooting typical country sheriff who ran his town with a firm hand.

  He glanced at the time, nearly eleven in the evening. What was she doing out this late alone? That protective sensation immediately had him pulling his truck alongside her car, and he waited for her. Recently there were a serious of breakins, two rapes on the outskirts of town, and an investigation into a felon who recently was released from jail but ignored his parole officer, didn’t check in, and seemed to be the one on the loose in the area. It was another reason why he was working tonight, along with a full set of deputies. They wanted to catch this guy and get him out of Central Valley and the surrounding towns.

  He got out and waited by her car, and when she walked out, two men were talking to her, and she waved them off as she smiled and laughed, but they watched her walk toward where he was. She paused in her tracks. Their gazes locked, and it was instant. At least for him. He missed her, wanted to kiss her hello, hold her tight, and tell her to stop the bullshit and be his woman and his brothers’ woman.

  “Sheriff.”

  He raised his eyebrows up at her as she hit unlock and placed the grocery bag into her car. “That’s my hello? After months away, no word, no response to the texts we sent?” he asked, and she stepped closer, reached her hand out, but he drew her in close, inhaled her scent, felt how thin she was, and his concern went up a notch as he kissed her neck. She tightened and pulled back slightly. “You look good. A little thin, but gorgeous as always,” he said to her.
