Crossroads 5: Show Me What Love Is (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) Read online

  Someone had abused Bethany and even tried to kill her? Who was he? Did he still want her? Collin had a thousand questions, and one look at Chancellor, then Riley, and he knew his brothers wanted to know, too. They needed time. Time to digest tonight and time to allow Bethany the space she needed to truly trust them and know they could never hurt her, because he was pretty damn sure he and his brothers weren’t going to let her out of their lives any time soon.

  * * * *

  Bethany ran her fingers along Collin’s chest. She felt the very light dusting of hair and the dips and ridges of muscles beneath her palm. Behind her, Collin kissed her shoulder and gently ran his palm along her hip. Chancellor sat in the chair in front of the bed watching them. She looked at him. His eyes locked on hers, and she got an odd feeling. Something told her that, despite Riley being in a position as chief of police, Chancellor took on the role of leader just as often. It was as if he was watching over them, ensuring their safety, and allowing space that he must feel she needed, but the truth was she didn’t want space. Not with their bodies, not with their attention toward her. She wanted to take all of them in. To fill her body, her heart and soul with everything these three men were willing to give her, and that thought had her lifting up and panicking a moment.

  Riley gripped her hip, and Collin rose up to his elbow.

  “What’s wrong?” Collin asked.

  Suddenly she felt insecure, unknowledgeable about this type of relationship and what these three very dominating, commanding men might expect from her and from it.

  She thought about Curran and how big he was, how strong and capable. His strikes to her body had left damage and scars.

  Riley kissed her hip and then Collin rolled her to her back. She felt Riley lift her arm up and above her head before he began to explore her breasts and then her ribs. Collin slid halfway over her, using his thigh to open her thighs.

  “Don’t run away from us,” he whispered and pressed his lips to hers. Being restrained by Riley while Collin kissed her and spread her open did a number to her body. Her breasts tightened, and her nipples hardened. Her pussy clenched, and she began to lift her pelvis toward Collin’s.

  She felt him ease a finger up into her cunt as he pressed his tongue deeper into her mouth in exploration.

  She moaned into his mouth and followed his lips as he pulled up and back, releasing hers.

  “You’re so wet and hot. I need in, again,” he told her, easing his body between her legs.

  Riley held her arm above her head still and latched onto her breast. He tugged and pulled, making her focus on his mouth until she felt Collin’s cock at the front of her pussy and then push slowly into her.

  She moaned softly then looked up at him. That sexy, wild, yet well-trimmed beard, his dark green eyes the color of pine, and muscles galore that stretched and moved with each movement of his hips. He lifted her thighs higher and began to stroke into her a little faster and a little deeper. Their eyes were locked onto one another when he gripped her left arm and hand and placed it above her head. Riley let go of her right arm, and Collin held both wrists in one of his large hands above her head as he rocked his hips faster and faster. The bed creaked and her breasts bounced, but their gazes never left one another’s, and she felt the connection to her soul. He continued to love her, passionately, slowly, deeply, and she felt herself falling deeper and deeper under his spell.

  “You’re so damn beautiful. I’ll never get enough of you, Bethany, or of this body.”

  He lifted up and over her, spread her thighs wider, shocking her as he continued to restrain her and thrust faster and harder. He was so deep, so hard as he aroused something carnal and wild within her, and she knew she was never going to be the same woman after tonight.

  So much had changed. Her entire world and all the things she’d thought she ever wanted or needed were lost from memory. The only thing she knew for sure was that she was lost in his eyes, lost with his body claiming hers, marking her as his for eternity, and she cried out her release. Collin followed, stroking, thrusting until he could no longer move, and kissed her deeply, sealing their bond forever.

  She hugged him close, kissed his shoulder and his neck, and then smiled at him as he lifted up and eased out of her.

  Riley pulled her up onto his chest and brought her down for a deep kiss. She explored his mouth and used her hands to explore his body. From hips to pectoral muscles, the man was a god. She cupped his cheeks and rocked her pussy over his engorged cock. Back and forth, she rocked on him, teasing him, making him wild with desire. She felt it, too, as she lifted up, absorbed the feel of his chiseled face, the muscles, the masculinity beneath her fingertips, and then she felt his hand beneath her and then his cock. She slid down over it, her lips parted, and Riley began to thrust up into her.

  “Riley. You’re so big, so hard.” She panted and tried to counter-thrust. He gripped her hips and gave them a shake, then smoothed his hands up her ribs to her breasts, cupping them. She rode him faster, needing to ease the itch building in her cunt. Over and over again she thrust and rocked her hips until Chancellor began to play with her ass. He used her cream to press over her puckered hole.

  “Chancellor,” she exclaimed and felt his hands, his palms, spread over her ass cheeks and squeeze them apart, then press them together, eliciting enough friction that she spilled more cream.

  A moment later, as Riley thrust hard and fast in an upward motion, Chancellor pressed his finger to her anus and slid right in. She felt the burn, lost her breath a moment, and then she came at the same time that Riley did. Riley pulled her down for a kiss, but then Chancellor lifted her up and back.

  Riley slid away, and Chancellor pulled her to the edge of the bed, then aligned his cock with her pussy from behind and stroked right into her. She gripped the comforter, feeling his need and hunger to ravage her body. She wanted to be ravaged, to be taken, marked, claimed in every way. She held on tightly, and his thighs slapped against her thighs, and his finger stroked her ass as his balls slapped against her ass. She was on fire, and he was chanting her name.

  “Bethany. Bethany. You’re ours always. Ours,” he shouted and fucked her so fast she cried out another release, and he followed.

  They were both panting for air. She was trying to remain upright when he slid from her pussy, and she fell to her belly and chest. Collin kissed her shoulder as Chancellor caressed her ass and her back then kissed each cheek.

  “How about a nice, hot shower and then bed?” Collin asked her. She turned to look at him. “I don’t think I can move.’

  They chuckled.

  “Shower and then bed. That’s an order, baby,” Chancellor said and sealed his command with a light slap to her ass, shocking her. Her pussy clenched, and her eyes widened.

  “Tomorrow night, when you come over to our place, we’ll own that ass, too. We’re taking you together.”

  She felt her heart soar and then race. Am I ready for that? she wondered as Collin lifted her up into his arms and carried her to the shower.

  Chapter 6

  “How the hell did this happen last night?” Riley asked Chancellor as they walked into their house after leaving Bethany’s this morning. He was still trying to get over the fact that Troy was bringing her to work, but one look from Chancellor and, of course, how all three of them had kissed Bethany good-bye in front of Troy should have sent the guy the message that she belonged to them.

  “It was crazy, but I asked for forgiveness. She met me for dinner, and we just talked. We discussed work, her current project, and then about my work and about you guys. The ride home was great, and I was feeling pretty possessive. The attraction was strong, and when we got into her place, I couldn’t resist. I kissed her, and one thing led to another. We were on the couch, and she said we needed to slow down because you guys weren’t there.”

  “Damn, that is great, that she immediately thought of us as one unit. I can’t believe this happened, and like this,” Collin said.

 
“I know, to have met her at different times and feel this way about her. This is amazing and, I don’t know, kind of crazy, too. I didn’t want to leave her this morning,” Riley admitted.

  “I sure as shit didn’t, but she wouldn’t let me drive her in. She made arrangements with Troy. Fuck, that pisses me off to know he has her in his car. He’s inhaling her perfume, looking at her sexy thighs in that damn business dress she wore.”

  Riley chuckled.

  “She laughed at you when you asked her if she had anything less sexy for work,” Collin said to Chancellor.

  “Yeah, you should have seen your face. She’s the only woman so far to have declined your first offer for a date, give you back a gift you gave her, and basically tell you she’ll wear what she wants when she wants to. I knew I really liked Bethany,” Collin teased, and Riley started laughing. They began joking around and teasing Chancellor about buying her a Jeep and having to send it back.

  “You can laugh all you want, but her old Jeep will be fixed and ready today. She won’t be driving with that big dick Troy ever again.”

  Riley smirked. He wasn’t too thrilled about Bethany getting anything from Troy. The man was known to fuck women on the back of fire trucks and had even starred in some porn films. That was how fucking big his cock was. No way was she going in his car another day.

  “Let me know if you need help dropping it at her house. Hell, I’ll even drive it to the city and park it for her so she can commute back without Troy,” Riley said.

  “She has a late night and will take the commuter train, and then the bus to the station in Portland Place. Collin is going to pick her up while you and I prepare dinner and a romantic evening,” Chancellor told them.

  “You, cooking dinner? Do you remember how to?” Collin teased.

  “I can still hunt, fish, track hikers lost in the woods and beat you in pool, so fuck you,” Chancellor said, and Collin and Riley started laughing.

  “I think you’d be rusty,” Collin teased.

  “Let’s hope we don’t need to find out any time soon. The last thing I need during the winter is someone lost in the woods in a snowstorm. Not my idea of a great winter,” Riley stated, and they all agreed.

  “Well then, hopefully people pay attention to the weather,” Chancellor said. Then Collin brought up about how he’d met Bethany and about how she seemed to know a lot about hiking.

  “I think it would be fun to take her out one time to the waterfalls,” Collin suggested. “It would be beautiful even this time of year.”

  “That would be nice, but I don’t think softy here can handle it like he used to,” Riley teased Chancellor.

  “Really? You think just because I prefer to enjoy a winter snowstorm skiing, or in a warm lodge by a fire sipping an expensive, delicious cognac, that I wouldn’t enjoy hiking through the snowy woods with Bethany? Get real. The best part will be coming back here, stripping her naked, and taking her up against the wall in the sauna.”

  “Jesus, we keep this conversation up and we’ll be mauling her before we even get her through the front door,” Riley said.

  “Well, no need to worry. She would expect it from Grizzly Adams over there. When are you going to shave that shit off your face?” Chancellor teased as he stroked his own skin, which was showing a shadow of a beard already.

  Collin rubbed his face and smiled.

  “As I recalled, Bethany loved my beard, especially while my head was between her legs, feasting on her.”

  “I’m fucking outta here. You two are going to drive me nuts.” Riley headed out of the room.

  As he walked down the hallway, he heard his brothers teasing one another and then talking about Bethany’s body and fabulous looks. He felt his cock harden and his mind go to last night and getting that call from Chancellor. He couldn’t believe it. Bethany was their woman, and she was already bringing them closer together. He smiled. This was going to be the best winter ever, and he had a feeling they might never make it hiking this winter with Bethany, not when every waking moment she was with them they would be making love to her and sealing their bond to her forever.

  That thought had him pausing in his steps. His chest tightened. His heart hammered. He was falling fast and deep. Holy shit. So this was what it was like to fall in love. I’ll be damned.

  * * * *

  Bethany couldn’t stop smiling at work all day. She kept thinking about Riley, Chancellor and Collin, and what they’d shared last night. She had finally let the walls down and had sex again. Leave it to her to do it with three brothers.

  She chuckled as she heard her cell phone ring. Glancing at the caller I.D, she saw that it was Lacey.

  “Hello.”

  “Oh my God, spill the beans, now.”

  “What are you talking about, Lacey?” she asked, smiling as she got up from her desk and closed her door. She walked back toward the window.

  “I heard through the grapevine that a certain fire fighter went to give you a ride this morning and three brothers kissed you deeply and made it clear you’re taken.”

  “Where did you hear that?” she asked, wondering aloud.

  “It’s Wellington, sweetie. Word travels fast. Besides, Louie was in the city this morning and bumped into Troy at the Border House Café where a lot of the guys go for lunch. Troy asked Louie about driving you to the city, and he said he didn’t think he was going to need to any more. Need I go on?”

  “Oh God, and what did Louie say?”

  “Are you kidding me? He is thrilled, as are Stone and Junior, who are probably calling them and teasing them right now about being hooked on you.”

  “Hooked, huh?”

  “Bethany, they spent the night. When are you seeing them again?”

  “Well, the plan is tonight for dinner, but this day is getting crazier and crazier. I’m swamped.”

  “Well, I won’t keep you. I just wanted to call and say how happy I am for you. Just be sure to slow them down if things go too fast. Getting triple-team takes some getting used to.”

  “Oh brother.”

  Lacey chuckled. “Later, girlfriend.”

  “Bye.” She ended the call. She looked out toward the city, noticing the people coming and going. It was two o’clock, and she didn’t know if she would make it home in time to meet the guys.

  She heard the knock on her door and noticed it was Clare.

  “I’ve got Mr. Harris on line three for you.”

  “Ross?” she asked as she walked around her desk.

  “Nope. Roger. He said he wants to go over the video of the foods with you.”

  “Great. Okay, I’ll take it. Thank you.” Clare smiled and headed back to her desk. Bethany picked up the phone.

  “Hello, Mr. Harris.”

  She listened to him question some of the footage, and he asked her to come take a look.

  An hour later, she was making plans to personally watch the video production at Romulo’s be filmed. She feared she might not get out of work tonight on time, but then Mr. Harris told her to leave early since she would be spending the morning at the restaurant overlooking the production.

  She gathered her things and headed out by four. When she was halfway to the bus station in Portland Place, she called Riley.

  “Hey, what’s going on?”

  “Can you pick me up in about thirty minutes at the bus station?”

  “Really? How did you get off early?”

  “Well, I have my ways.”

  “A resourceful woman besides a gorgeous one. How did we get so lucky?”

  “I don’t know, but don’t get too excited. I’ll have to leave pretty early tomorrow morning. I have to be in the city by seven.”

  “For what?”

  “I’ll explain when you pick me up. You can drop me off at my place.”

  “Are you kidding? I’m going to bring you right home and get off early, too.”

  “You can’t. You have work until six, and I need to do some things.”

  “Like what?�
�

  “I can’t tell you. They’re private.”

  “You have me thinking some sexy things, baby.”

  “Oh, really?” she asked, feeling her cheeks warm as she sat on the bus and covered the mouthpiece. She felt so naughty, as though she was conducting a sex call or something and people might hear her. It made her giggle inside.

  “Like that sweet, wet pussy of yours being bare and soft. I’m going to love licking you clean and getting you ready for my cock, Bethany.”

  “Jeesh, Riley, I hope no one can hear you.”

  “Who cares if they hear me? Spread the word, Bethany Rigallo belongs to the Cummings men.”

  “I’m hanging up now.”

  “I may just need to get a little warmup when I drop you off at home to do your thing. Be ready. I’m on my way.”

  She ended the call, leaned back and exhaled, smiling. She was so excited. She loved their playfulness and their dirty talk. It embarrassed the hell out of her but also aroused her body and made her desperate to see more of them and explore every inch of their perfect bodies. When she thought about that, she realized she was one very lucky girl indeed.

  * * * *

  Riley waited in the police truck as the snow began to fall. The meteorologists hadn’t predicted any storms, and this was more like a snow shower than anything significant. As he watched the busses arrive and depart from the small station, he thought about Bethany and how she worked in the city, how professional she was, but also how she had something in common with each of them. She fit, and he couldn’t help but feel enthusiastic about the relationship.

  He worried about what she’d shared with them, hinting that her ex had beaten her and maybe even come close to killing her. That was pretty serious stuff, and the law enforcement officer in him wanted specifics. It was taking a lot not to interrogate her, but he hoped, after tonight, she would let down those walls a little further and give them more details. He especially wanted to make certain she was safe and that this guy was no longer a potential threat.
