The Sextet Presents… By Male Order [In Days of Olde] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) (10 page)

Her men had turned her into a wanton.

“Aren’t you two hungry? I have some cold pork. Perhaps I could pick a few tomatoes and fry them up with some cheese?”

Alec chuckled, obviously onto her ruse.

Thomas, however, stared at her with an open mouth. “But…but…” He glanced down at his stiff shaft before his gaze returned to her. “We’re…
ready
.”

Hope couldn’t contain her happiness. His disappointment was more affirming than any declaration of feelings. He wanted her. So did Alec.

Just as much as she wanted them.

Laughter rose inside her, falling from her lips as she shoved her skirt over her hips, letting it puddle on the floor. By the time she reached the bed, she’d tossed her shirt aside as well.

Thomas’s smile made his teeth gleam in the dim light. He held out his hand to her. “Come, my love. There’s much we’d like to show you tonight.”

Alec was content to watch Thomas draw Hope into his arms, knowing he wouldn’t be excluded from this interlude. The three of them had formed a bond that wouldn’t be broken. After he and Thomas loved Hope into a sated exhaustion, they would share their dreams for the future with her and get her to agree to leave this desolate life. There were so many plans to be made. It didn’t matter where they went, so long as the three of them were together.

Thomas kissed her, quickly heightening the exchange with his tongue. Alec groaned as he watched them, their tongues mingling in an erotic, openmouthed kiss. He moved closer, sliding his fingers down her spine as he moved behind her. She whimpered against Thomas’s mouth when Alec cupped her buttocks, easing the pale globes apart to rub his cock between them.

Lifting her damp hair aside, he licked the soft skin of her neck before gently giving her a love bite. Her whole body reacted. Her arms squeezed Thomas closer while her tempting backside pushed back against Alec.

He and Thomas had planned this evening well. Thomas would lie back and pull Hope onto him, letting her ride his cock while Alec fetched the sweet oil he and Thomas liked to use. Then Alec would prepare Hope for a greater intimacy, hopefully bringing her pleasure as he claimed her virgin ass.

The three of them would be joined in a way that showed their commitment to one another. It would be the sign that Alec and Thomas needed to show she’d accepted them completely, that she was ready to leave memories of Billy and this blasted farm behind.

Hope turned to face Alec, looping her arms around his neck. She returned his love bite, nibbling on his neck, and he groaned deep in his chest. She was a fast learner, easily mimicking anything he or Thomas did that she enjoyed.

Her eyes met his. “I believe it’s your turn, you said.”

Lost in the feel of her breasts pressed to his chest, he wasn’t sure what she meant. “My turn?”

She couldn’t respond because his lips found hers, capturing her surprised inhale before she slid her tongue into his mouth. Their tongues played across each other, thrusting and parrying as Alec lost himself in Hope. Pulling back one arm, she tickled down his chest, combing her fingers through the patch of hair before circling his navel. When she took his cock in her hand and stroked, he lost all control, drowning in the need to bury himself inside her.

He tried to ease her to the bed, but Hope stopped him with a shake of her head. “It’s your turn, Alec.”

“My—” He almost smacked his forehead at his own stupidity. She wanted him to fuck her since Thomas had been the one to enjoy her cunt last time. “Oh,
’tis
my turn. But why are ye resisting me?”

“I want something…
different
. Lie down,” she ordered, releasing his erection to push gently on his shoulders.

Alec looked to Thomas, who gave him a nod and a smile. Their plans would still go forward, albeit with the men’s positions switched.

Flopping to his back, Alec smiled up at Hope as she straddled his hips. He slid his hand between her thighs, pleased to find her already slick with juice. “Oh, lass…ye’re nearly ready.”

She rubbed her cunt against his shaft. “I’m not
nearly
ready. I’m
ready
.” Moving to try to mount him, Alec stopped her by holding tight to her hips.

He shook his head. “We want this to be verra special, love. We need Thomas, too.”

“Of course.” She glanced back at Thomas. He’d leaned over to grab the sweet oil from the night table. “But how can I suck his cock when I am on top of you with your cock inside me?”

Hearing her blunt and very sexy way of describing what she wanted to do made Alec’s erection leak more of his fluids. The woman was so beautiful and so damned sensual. If she only knew the power she held over both of them, she could easily turn them into her slaves. They’d follow her around, doing everything they could for her simply to receive some scrap of attention.

Thomas was behind her now, smoothing his hands down her arms. “I don’t want you to suck me, my love.” He snaked one hand around her waist while his other cupped her buttocks. “I want to fuck you too. Alec and I will claim you together.”

Her confusion was plain as she kept looking at Thomas and then back to Alec. Alec stroked her with a finger, thrusting it deep inside her to gain her moisture.

“I’ll be here,” he said, his voice a husky whisper. He pulled his finger from her tight sheath and followed the line of her body back to her anus. “Thomas will put his cock here.”

When his wet finger circled the tight ring of muscles, she tensed.

“Relax, Hope. I wouldnae hurt you. Ever.”

Her muscles eased, and he pushed gently until he was able to enter her with his fingertip.

Hope’s eyes flew wide. “That feels so…so…”

Alec waited, fearing she wouldn’t enjoy the intimacy. He and Thomas had always taken turns fucking each other, and both received tremendous pleasure from being breached. Would a woman’s body feel the same enjoyment?

“Wonderful,” she finally said, her voice a purr. “It’s wonderful.”

Both men growled, and Alec smiled up at Thomas. “She
is
the one.”

“Oh, yes,” Thomas replied.

“The one?” she asked, whimpering when Alec’s hand left her.

“The one to make us complete,” Thomas said. “Now, Alec is going to fuck you, Hope. Show me how much you love him, and let him show you how much he loves you.”

Hope was too lost in the sensuous promise they’d made to worry about Thomas’s words.

Love?

No. They didn’t love her. Not yet.

Maybe someday
.

Could they really put
both
their cocks in her body at the same time, joining all three of them in the act of love?

They didn’t give her time to think or to keep pondering the words of love. Alec lifted her hips and held her above him. “Take me inside you, Hope. Please.”

Her fingers wrapped around his erection, and, though she was awkward, she led him to her sheath. Two gentle thrusts, and he was buried to the hilt.

This was different than when Thomas had mounted her. She’d enjoyed that tremendously, loving how Alec had sped her climax by rubbing her clitoris. The angle of Alec’s cock made his shaft rub against her sensitive nub, and each time he withdrew and then pushed back inside her, tingles raced from her cunt to the rest of her body. “I
love
this.”

Alec smiled and thrust inside her again. When he didn’t withdraw, Hope tried to move, wanting more of the sweet sensations. But Alec held her hips still. “We must add Thomas now.”

“Oh.”

Thomas pushed her forward until her breasts were flattened against Alec’s chest. “I’ll be gentle, Hope,” he whispered.

His palm followed the length of her back, then settled against her bottom. A slippery finger glided between the cheeks, and she finally understood what the sweet oil was for. Thomas would use it to ease the way for his cock. Knowing they cared for her enough to worry about such details made her heart sing.

“I know you will,” she whispered back.

Thomas circled her most intimate spot before he pushed. Then one knuckle slipped inside.

Just as when Alec had invaded, her body responded with greedy abandon.

“Sweet Lord, Thomas,” Alec hissed. “She’s clenching me so tight.”

One finger became two, and Hope gasped as Thomas scissored his fingers, opening her wider.

“I can’t wait, my love,” Thomas said. He pulled his fingers away, and before she could protest, his cock was there, blunt and slippery against her.

The ease in which he entered her came as a surprise, as if her body was trying to pull him deeper inside. When Thomas’s thighs slapped against hers, his cock deeply seated in her, she couldn’t believe the sublime feeling. So full. So connected to both men.

She couldn’t find the words to ask what came next and was relieved when Alec rocked up into her. Thomas seemed to catch his rhythm when Alec pulled back, and then both the cocks thrust back into her.

Hope lost herself in the men she loved, trying to remember each feeling, each tantalizing sensation as the two men who now owned her heart also owned her body. Again and again, the men surged inside her, Alec’s shaft hitting her clit as Thomas rubbed against some wonderful spot deep inside her.

When she came, she screamed. Alec captured her lips, drowning her cries as he growled and sped his cadence. She swallowed his shouts of pleasure as he had hers, but when Thomas thrust into her bottom once more, there was no one to hush him. His shouts of surrender made her heart shatter.

I love them.

With all my heart.

Lying between her men in the peaceful darkness, Hope wasn’t sure if sleep would ever claim her. Despite the sated fatigue from being loved so thoroughly by her men, her thoughts raced.

For the first time since she’d met Billy Adams, she pondered her future. Even if Alec and Thomas didn’t return the love she had for them, they’d given her another beautiful gift—the gift of freedom. Even if they left her someday, she would survive because she had the strength to leave this haven now and make her way in the world.

If Abe Driscoll wanted the damned farm, he could have it. Hope would take the money from the sale and go somewhere new. A big city. Someplace where there were interesting people and entertaining places to go. And libraries. Oh, how she wanted to see a real library!

She was done with Clearbrook.

And she was done being stomped under anyone’s bootheel.

Alec snorted as his hand moved to cover her bare breast. Then his soft snoring resumed.

Hope smiled at his possessive nature. Unlike Billy’s dominance of her entire life, Alec’s claim on her was shared and treasured. He would never hurt her. Ever. When Alec loved, he loved with all his heart. Just as she loved him and hoped he loved her.

She glanced to Thomas. His face was so much softer in the moonlight. Her brooding King Arthur carried the weight of the world on his shoulders, but she’d share that burden. If he’d only let her.

Their hearts weren’t in this farm. That she understood—because neither was hers. This had been Billy’s dream.

Now the time had come to follow her own dream.

She almost woke the men up to tell them, wanting to shout her joy at finally being free. Then she heard voices—men’s voices, just below her window.

“I say burn the house, too,” one man said. “Last fire we set didn’t scare her.”

“Not s’posed to hurt the lady,” another replied. “Just the men. Burn the barn and draw them out.”

Hope put her palm over Alec’s mouth as she gave him a gentle shake. “Alec. Wake up. Someone’s outside.”

His eyes flew open, but thankfully the panic she saw there quickly ebbed. He nodded.

She pulled her hand back. “The shotgun’s by the front door,” she whispered before she rolled to Thomas.

He was already awake, the worry written plainly on his face. “Is there another weapon?”

“A gun.” She pointed at the dresser. “Top drawer.”

“Loaded?”

She nodded as she crawled over him and off the bed. Grabbing his shirt, she jerked it over her head while he and Alec donned their pants. She beat him to the gun, checking to be sure it really was loaded.

“Can you shoot?” she asked.

“I can.”

Hope handed him the gun. “They said they’d started the brush fire. Now, they said they were burning the barn to draw you out.”

“We’ll stop them, love,” Alec said.

“You will not. I only wanted you armed for your protection. You’ll stay in this house and keep your heads down.”

“Let us handle this, lass.”

There wasn’t time to argue, so she gave Alec a curt nod.

He gestured to Thomas to follow him down the stairs.

Hope wasn’t about to obey. There was another shotgun in the barn, and once she got out there and scattered the horses, she could watch her men’s backs and maybe have a better shot at the bandits.

She hurried to the window on the other side of the room, ready to use it—as she had many times—to escape the house.

* * * *

Alec moved as silently as possible down the stairs. “Thomas,” Alec whispered, “we can—” He stopped and sniffed.

“Sweet Lord,” Thomas said. “Are they burning the house, too?”

The smoke hit Alec’s nostrils as Thomas’s words registered. “Could just be from the barn.” He hurried down the stairs and to the window, trying to see whether the bandits had started another fire. Glass suddenly shattered, and something whizzed by his ear at the same time a gunshot echoed through the air.

Alec dropped to the floor. “Stay down!” he ordered Thomas just as he realized Hope wasn’t with them. “Where’s Hope?”

Thomas whipped his head around. “Damn it. She was right behind me.”

Alec didn’t want to call out to her and alert the intruders that she wasn’t with them. “Where could she have gone?”

“Out a window?”

Another shot hit the wall behind them. Alec crawled over to the shotgun propped up next to the door. Easing up on his knees, he looked out the shattered window and sized up his prey.
