Indecent Encounters (7 page)

Evie shook her head. “I wanted to go. I’ve never been fishing before.”

Nick arched a smooth eyebrow, looking between the two of them. His gaze settled on her and softened. “Did you catch anything, sweetheart?”

Her cheeks burned. Zane had his hand on the small of her back and the rich sound of desire in Nick’s voice couldn’t be mistaken. “I caught one. We had to throw it back because it was too small.” She shot Zane a glare. “And you laughed at me.”

Evie swallowed hard. She stared at them, feeling uneasy. How was this going to work anyway? Nick treated her with the utmost tenderness. What if he got upset because she’d had sex with Zane? She didn’t want him to think she preferred Zane to him, or Ryder despite his surly attitude.

Nick nodded as if Zane had told him it was going to rain later on. “Ryder’s still inside. He’s pissed that you took her without letting us know.”

“Was he?” Zane smirked.

Nick chuckled, shifting his attention to her. “Go inside, sweetheart. There’s nothing either of us can do for him.” He tipped his chin gesturing to Zane.

Evie felt apprehensive to be alone with Ryder. He was intense in everything he did. It showed in his lovemaking and the way he spoke to her. It sparked exquisite tingles in her stomach, but also incited a tinge of fear in her heart. Nick and Zane must have picked up on her emotions, trying to nip this thing with her and Ryder in the bud before it escalated. Nick touched her shoulder. “He’s not so bad once you get to know him.” He nudged her toward the cabin.

Cautiously, Evie headed inside, glancing backward to see both men walking in unison, disappearing amid the immense trees decorating the property.

“Where were you?”

Evie jumped, startled by Ryder’s gruff voice. She’d barely stepped foot into the house and he was ready to attack her. He stood by the wall separating the living room and the bedrooms, his brawny tattooed arms folded over his chest, making him look every bit the mean son of a bitch Nick warned her about that first night.

She lifted her chin. She might love having sex with them, but they didn’t completely own her, and she wasn’t going to let Ryder make her feel afraid. If they intended to keep her here, she needed to make them understand that she wasn’t going to sit or lie around, waiting for whatever they doled out. There was more to her than sex. If only they could trust that she wouldn’t try to escape, they could all live easy and really enjoy each other.

“Zane invited me to go fishing with him. So I went.” She lifted her brows. “Did you forget to attach my shackles this morning?”

He snarled and pounded toward her. “Pull a stunt like that again and go off without letting me know and see if you don’t find yourself chained to the fucking bed. I’m not playing with you, Evie. You’re here to pay off a debt. Don’t start getting ahead of yourself no matter what bullshit ideas my brothers might be putting in your head.”

Her heart twisted. Ryder unequivocally didn’t like her. She shrugged despite the emotional pain. “I didn’t ask to be here. You and your brothers kidnapped me. Send me home and I’ll talk with my father about this. I’m sure you’re not the only one he’s screwed over.”

Ryder grabbed her shoulders, shaking her hard. “I spent two years of my life in a maximum facility prison because of your daddy, princess. Your father was expensive. We had to file for bankruptcy to keep the shipping company. It took years to get us back on foot. My brothers busted their ass while I was locked up to get the company afloat. If that weasel you call a father was still alive, I’d put a hole in his goddamn head.”

Evie gasped.
Still alive.
“What do you mean? My father’s not dead. I would have known. Someone would have…” Her forehead crinkled into a frown. Ryder remained impassive, staring at her with what could even be mistaken for sympathy.

“When?” she asked quietly. Her father was dead and she’d had no idea. The last time she’d spoken to him was six years ago, right before she’d entered university.

“He died last year in Mexico. Spent a few years down there hiding out from the feds.” Ryder blew out his breath and scrubbed a hand over his hair. “Shit. I thought you knew he was dead.”

She felt choked up. Herb Walker had been a tyrant for all the years she knew him, but he’d still been her father. A biological connection. Evie inched over to the couch and took a seat. Lowering her head, she stared at her knees. Her father was dead and now she was left to pay for his crimes. At least Nick and Zane liked her and would make sure Ryder didn’t hurt her. She fidgeted her fingers. But Ryder was their brother and she was just their “personal slut”, if anything were to happen they’d probably take his side over hers. He’d already suffered by going to prison because of her father; she was sure the brothers were protective of him. Who was going to protect her?

Pressing a hand to her cheek, she opened her eyes wide, blinking back the tears of fear that brimmed beneath her lids. She took a deep breath and stared at Ryder.

“I’m a website designer,” she whispered. “I’m not rich, but I make enough to get by. I’m willing to work something out with you. Maybe we can meet in the middle. I can send you a check to pay back what my father did to you.” She stared at him, hoping he would see the desperation in her eyes. “You don’t want me here and I don’t want to be here using my body to pay off a debt I didn’t incur. Just let me go home, Ryder. Please. I’ll write out a contract with you so you’ll know I’m being truthful.”

He sank down onto the couch beside her. “Does it look like we’re poor?” he snapped. “I don’t want or need your money. That’s not what this is about.”

“Isn’t it? You said I have to pay off the hundred-thousand dollars. What else is there?”

He moved off the couch, coming to stand directly in front of her. “I’m not changing my mind about the debt you owe me, princess. The money’s the last thing on my mind. I want payment in the form of your mouth and pussy around my cock when I say so.”

Evie nodded demurely. “Okay, Ryder.
Master
. If that’s what you want.” She rose from the couch and knelt in front of him.

“What are you doing?” He frowned, but made no attempt to stop her from unzipping his pants.

Evie pulled out his cock, and rubbed her face against it. “I’m repaying you,” she whispered. “I hope you’re going to keep count from now on. I’d like to know when I’ve reached a zero balance.”

Ryder groaned and shifted his cock away from her face. Evie peered up at him. “What’s wrong? I thought this was what you wanted…your little black slave girl on her knees servicing you at all times.”

“I never called you that.” His cock brushed against her nose as he straightened. Evie inhaled deeply, the rich musky scent sending waves of heat into her pussy.

She moved her face. “No. You only treat me like your sex slave. Same thing. It’s obvious you don’t like me although I’ve gone out of my way to try and please you. I don’t understand why you won’t just let me pay you and you can go and find a woman you actually
do
want to be around. At least your brothers seem to like me. Zane even assured me that he wouldn’t let you hurt me.” Mentally, Evie slapped herself for bringing Zane into the argument. She had no other ammunition to use against Ryder, but she had to make him see that his brothers were on her side. If only he would let go of his aggression and open up to her. He was always so guarded and she wanted more than anything to erase the damages her father had done to him. Not with sex, rather her friendship. Love.

“You think I could hurt you?” He sounded stunned and…hurt by her assumption. “
Me
and not Nick or Zane?”

Guilt sluiced through her. Ryder must get that a lot, people assuming he was dangerous because of the way he looked. “I don’t know what to make of you,” she said honestly. “There’s a hidden part of you that I’ve glimpsed on a few occasions. I know you were the one who came into my bedroom in the middle of the night to pull the blanket over my legs. I thought it was sweet of you, but when you get upset and yell at me, I’m not sure what to expect.”

He stared at her in silence for a few seconds. “You don’t know my brothers all that well, yet you didn’t think they would hurt you.”

Evie shrugged. “Nick and Zane are always friendly toward me. They didn’t go to prison because of my father. You did.” Was it possible for him to overlook her parentage to see her for who she was? Evie, the woman who was willing to lose her heart to him.

Ryder cupped her chin, forcing her to look at him. “I never blamed you for what your father did.” He ran a hand along his jaw. “What Herb did to me was a perfect excuse for me to get close to you.”

“Why?” Did he remember her from all those years ago in the law office?

He touched her cheek softly with his big hand. Evie leaned into him, savoring his rare tenderness. “Because you were the prettiest girl I’d ever seen that day when I stopped by Walker’s law firm. It angered me that I’d never get a chance with you.” He bent to kiss her lips. “I’m sorry, princess. I shouldn’t have been so harsh with you. It makes me feel like shit knowing you think I could physically hurt you. I could never—would never do that to you.”

“What about my heart, Ryder? How am I supposed to cope when the three of you decide you no longer want me around?”

“That’s not going to happen,” he rasped, lifting his cock to her mouth. “You belong to us and we’re not letting you leave us. Ever.”

Evie licked the crown of his cock. “The four us?”

“The four of us,” Ryder repeated.

Her heart leapt and she parted her lips, drawing his shaft deep inside her mouth. Evie felt his hands on her head gently stroking her hair, his rough voice encouraging her to take him to the back of her throat. “Princess, I think you’re the sexiest woman alive with a cock between your lips. I almost came last night watching the way you were latched on to Nick’s cock. I knew you loved it.”

Evie rocked slowly back and forth on her heels. Her pussy throbbed, urging her to give all her attention to Ryder. She couldn’t speak though, not when she had his delicious cock to focus on. Ryder held her head; his massive cock paused at the walls of her throat. He stroked her hair, simply holding her to him, their gazes locked with neither of them moving.

“Are you thirsty?”

Evie blinked and nodded the best she could, considering how tight he was holding her hair. “Do you want my cum, princess?”

In answer Evie locked her arms around his waist, smoothing her hands on his firm ass.
Please.

Ryder placed his cool fingers on her throat, caressing her skin. His other hand fisted a lock of hair on her nape and without warning he thrust into her mouth with a hedonistic groan, and coated the back of her throat with his cum. With her knees quivering, Evie swallowed, taking every single drop.

Ryder slid his cock from her mouth. “Sit with me.” He pulled her up from the floor, seating her on his lap facing him. ”

Evie smiled. “You guys really don’t mind sharing me. It doesn’t bother you to see me fucking Nick and Zane or sucking their cocks?”

Ryder kissed her cheek. “No. Why should it? Your pussy feels wonderful, princess, and you’re the best cocksucker. I wouldn’t want anyone telling me I couldn’t have a turn with you. Why wouldn’t I want to share you with the two people I love the most in the world?”

Something about his statement hurt even though she knew it shouldn’t. “Do you care about me Ryder? Even a little?”

Ryder slipped his hand under her dress. “More than a little.” His fingers delved between her moist folds. “I love you, princess.”

Overwhelming joy fluttered through her by his unexpected words.
He loves me
. Evie laid her head on his shoulder and moaned.

He chuckled softly, stroking the walls of her wet pussy. “I’m not angry. I would have done the same thing he did. Bastard beat me to the punch.”

Relieved at his show of humor, Evie placed her arms around his neck, enjoying his lazy strokes inside her pussy. She wasn’t in a hurry to come; it felt nice just being so close to him.

Evie returned her attention to Ryder, whose arms tightened around her. He looked over her shoulder to his brothers. “Eager Beaver here came inside her pussy.” She saw him tilt his head gesturing to Zane.

She gasped. Did he really have to share that information with Nick? She had to speak up and defend Zane. “I wanted him to.”

None of them said anything to her. They kept on speaking as if she wasn’t there, although Ryder’s finger was still up her dress fondling her cunt.

Nick slapped Zane on the head. “Nice going.”

Zane shrugged. “What’s the big deal? I wasn’t going to let a condom get in the way of a perfectly good time to fuck.” He smiled at Evie. “You enjoyed it didn’t you, babe?”
