The Bold and the Dominant, Page 24

  unless I choose to give them my gift.”

  Hammer nodded. “Just remember, you can take back your control any time you want, Raine. But don’t decide to toss in the towel just because things get uncomfortable.”

  Been there. Done that. She’d hated the T-shirt. “I understand, Sirs.”

  Liam frowned. “Today, you handed your control over to Gwyneth. You gave her the power to hurt you, didn’t you?”

  “Yeah.” She hadn’t meant to, but Raine now realized that she’d let Liam’s bitch-faced ex climb inside her head.

  “Last one,” Hammer murmured. “You’re doing really well, precious.”

  Raine nodded and tried not to wince. On the surface, this declaration seemed like it should be the easiest. Somehow, it hurt the most. “I deserve happiness and love.”

  Without a word, they knelt beside her, surrounded her.

  “You do.” Liam brushed her hair back over her shoulder and cupped her chin before he pressed his lips to the pulse point on her neck. “We hope you’ll let us fill you with our love and happiness, Raine.”

  “Every day,” Macen echoed.

  A single tear slipped down her cheek as she raised her hands and cupped each of their cheeks. “I’ll always try to share my emotions and fears with you two—without yelling or cursing. I can’t promise I’ll never hide behind my walls, but if I’m not aware I’m doing it, tell me. I’ll work hard to come out…or let you in.”

  The broad smiles that lit up their faces were almost blinding. They hugged her, and Raine felt something shift deep inside. It wasn’t this house’s beauty that made it a home because her home would always be in their arms.

  “I think you’re catching on,” Hammer teased.

  “Yeah, yeah.” She flashed him a playful pout.

  “We’re proud of you, love. Keep your faith in us. We won’t let you down.” Liam kissed her so gently she almost melted.

  Hammer stood and extended his hand. “I think it’s time to christen this house properly. What do you say?”

  “I agree.” Liam got to his feet, too, and reached out for her.

  She took their hands. “I’d love that. But there’s a problem.”

  Chapter Twelve

  “Besides my blue balls?” Hammer quipped.

  “That’s a problem we can fix.” She flirted with a little grin. “But you’re overdressed for the occasion. Here I am, all naked, and no one is joining me.”

  They both rushed to tear off their clothes, and Raine had to repress another smile. Today’s conversation had been difficult. She’d made a huge mistake earlier, but Liam and Hammer had calmed her, talked to her, explained. The resulting dialogue hadn’t been easy, but it had been fruitful. Now she felt like the three of them stood on more solid footing. And they had an absolutely beautiful house in which to start their forever.

  Then the sights around her completely derailed her thoughts. Hammer yanked off his shirt, exposing a pair of broad shoulders and a wide, muscled chest that never failed to make her hot. Beside him, under him, she felt so small and feminine and protected. Then Liam shucked his pants, and her breath caught. Under his lean shoulders and the muscles bunching all the way down his back, his body tapered to the most sigh-worthy ass she’d ever seen on a man. Taut, lightly dusted with hair¸ and just round enough for her to want to bite.

  She gave a happy little shudder of a sigh.

  Suddenly, Liam turned to Macen. “Look at her, gawking at us like we’re a couple of slabs of beef.”

  Raine felt a flush rise on her cheeks. “You can’t blame me. You’re both incredible. And not just to look at.”

  “As much as I’ve enjoyed fucking you when you’re mad, pliant, or solemn, I think I’m going to enjoy it a lot more when you’re happy.” Hammer wrapped an arm around her and guided her toward the bed, then glanced at Liam. “Hurry up, man. I don’t know how long I can wait before I start without you.”

  Liam laughed, then kicked free of his underwear before lunging at her and grabbing her face. He crushed her mouth under his.

  Macen’s lips feathered up her neck before he breathed against her skin. “You’re going to be so well fucked, precious.”

  Raine’s breath caught. “Promise?”

  They merely smiled, and Liam nodded. “If you’re not able to walk out of here, oh…what a pity that would be. But we’ll carry you.”

  She never wanted to leave this golden house that represented all their tomorrows, but she knew they had to return to duty and Shadows—at least until they could furnish this place and move in.

  “I like the idea of being carried.” She strolled closer, wrapping her hands around their cocks at once and giving them both a long stroke. “Let’s see if we can make that happen.”

  Hammer hissed out a curse. Liam groaned, his face contorting with pleasure.

  “I think my balls are turning blue, too, mate.” His voice already sounded gruff.

  “That’s it.” Macen stared at the little foil packet in his hand and tore open the condom. “Why the hell haven’t we managed to get you on birth control yet?”

  “I wondered the same thing earlier today,” Liam said as he slowly rolled the thin latex over his ready erection.

  “I have an appointment next week.” She’d hoped to surprise them at Christmas, but it seemed like the perfect time to tell them. And she couldn’t wait to feel them bare and deep, raw, without barriers, spilling inside her. Someday, maybe they’d tell her to stop taking birth control and…

  One step at a time.

  For now. Raine drank in the sight of their strong, masculine bodies. Already, their faces were sharp and flushed with desire. The mere sight of them made her heart race and her sex weep with need. Liam watched her with a lusty stare as he slathered lube over his proud cock with long strokes. She shivered in anticipation.

  “Bend over the bed,” Hammer demanded. “Let Liam prepare you so he can fill that sweet ass of yours.”

  Raine didn’t hesitate. She bent, legs slightly spread, and rested her head on the thick mattress. She didn’t have to wait long before she felt him—smelled him—just behind her. Her body turned tense and needy.

  “Liam…”

  In answer, he palmed the small of her back, then traced his finger down the line of her spine, that velvet touch skimming close to her rosette. She arched with the movement, then stilled. God, she was beyond eager to feel him taking her in the most dominant way possible. She craved his possession, that tender way he somehow managed to use her thoroughly.

  He touched his lubed fingers to her tightly drawn tissue, rimming it, coaxing her open. Raine tossed her head back, grabbing the sheet as his fingers probed insistently, silently urging her to cede to him. To submit.

  Raine groaned with a shaky exhalation. Closing her eyes, she focused on relaxing every muscle in her body. She started with the frown creasing her forehead, then moved down to her shoulders, her back…little by little until she unclenched and arched even more, offering herself up.

  Liam clutched her hips. “So beautiful. I love having you open to me.”

  Hammer leaned in and tucked her hair behind her ear. “I can see you trying to please us. It’s stunning…”

  Their touches and praise nearly made her purr from the back of her throat as she turned her head and managed to capture his thumb with her teeth and suck it inside her mouth.

  Hammer growled. “That tongue…”

  She circled his digit with the tip and sent him an inviting stare—until Liam slipped in another finger and made her gasp.

  “Please hurry.” She wriggled her ass at him.

  “Greedy minx,” Liam chided.

  Hammer leaned back and watched with fire blazing in his eyes. “That’s it. Let him ready your velvet walls so he can slide balls deep inside you.”

  “I’m bursting to do just that.” Liam breathed harshly. “How does that feel, Raine?”

  “So good…” She groaned. “I’m ready. I need you. Please.”

&nbs
p; “Good. I can’t wait,” Liam growled as he helped her upright. “Every time with you is…” He shook his head on a rough sigh as he met her stare. “Only enough to make me want you more.”

  Raine’s heart skipped as he eased behind her to sit on the edge of the mattress. He drew her between his masculine, slightly spread thighs. His cock stood straight up, as if reaching for her.

  She wrapped her arms around him and filtered her fingers through his hair. “It’s the same for me, Liam.”

  He didn’t speak again, simply pinched her nipples, then laved his handiwork before drawing them into his hot mouth. Raine held tight as he alternated between one breast and the other, a frantic, thorough tease.

  Hammer sidled up behind her, his body heat seeping into her skin. He palmed her ass and nipped at her lobe. As she turned her face to meet his kiss, Liam dragged his lips across her stomach, soft, stinging little nips with a flare of tingles that awakened her skin. Hammer possessed her mouth, stroking deep inside as Liam flicked the tip of his tongue over each of her erect nubs. She was happily drowning in them and the desire swirling inside her.

  Liam ripped himself away. “Now, Macen.”

  Before she could process what he meant, Hammer pulled back and bit at her lower lip. The sting excited her even more as he gripped her hips and turned her to face him—only to find him stroking his hard cock. Her body trembled in anticipation.

  Liam grabbed her around the waist and lowered her to his lap. The tip of his hard cock pressed against her sensitive rosette. Raine’s whimper only seemed to urge him on, and he pushed against her fragile rim. She arched and opened. The smoldering pressure built. Pleasure flashed inside her as he breached past her barrier. As he slowly eased inside, stretching and filling her with thrill and pain, Raine keened to the rafters.

  * * *

  As Liam worked Raine onto his cock, Hammer’s balls tightened. A vivid memory of squeezing through her tight little ring and thrusting into nirvana filled his head. His blood thundered.

  Ecstasy skittered across her face. Her eyes fluttered closed. Her head fell back, exposing the graceful arch of her neck as Liam thrust deep. Her soft, needful moan made Macen’s cock jerk.

  Damn, he’d caged his desire this morning when he’d told her to strip and climb into bed for a nap after breakfast. The shower they’d shared when Raine had come to him smelling of sex had rattled his restraint, especially when he’d put his hands all over her wet skin. Mere minutes ago, he’d sweated, watching her shatter under Liam’s insistent mouth. Though he’d ached for a taste himself, Hammer had held back.

  Now, his self-control was shot to hell.

  Hammer cupped her pussy, dragging his fingers over her hard little clit. She gasped.

  “Oh, shit. She just clamped down on me.” Liam dug his fingers into her slender hips as he yanked her up his shaft, then shoved deep inside her. “So fucking hot and tight.”

  Hammer gritted his teeth, wanting to feel her close around him, too. Claim. Now. Fuck yeah.

  Liam glanced at him, then paused his voracious thrusts to recline on the bed. Hammer supposed his urgency—or insanity—must have shown, and thanked fuck Liam could read him.

  “Lie back against his chest,” Macen demanded, guiding Raine down.

  She did, blinking at him with big eyes that didn’t just turn him on but also inside out. He gripped her pale thighs, spreading them wide and draping them outside Liam’s. Her musk pervaded his senses as her hips tilted up. He stared at her bare cunt, pink, glistening, swollen, and pouting—just waiting for him to slam deep. Macen knew how fucking perfect she’d feel.

  “There.” He stepped between her thighs and traced a fingertip from her navel down, down…all the way to her eager clit. He toyed with her. “Now you’re splayed out the way I want you, precious. I’m going to drive inside you and feel your cunt ripple around me as you melt between us.”

  He parted her shimmering flesh with his thumbs, spreading her open even farther, and fastened his mouth over her drenched folds, eating at her clit, drinking her in.

  After years of coveting Raine, he’d barely had her a handful of times—certainly not enough to cool his fever. In fact, every time, she’d heated him up hotter. Right now, it raged inside him.

  “Please, Macen,” she whimpered, threading her hands in his hair. “Oh… God, I can’t—”

  “You can’t what?” Hammer snarled, furious at having to pull his tongue from her.

  “I-I can’t wait.”

  The supplication in her tone burned him. “To feel us plow into your soft, slick body together?”

  “Yes,” she cried.

  “You want us to fuck you?” He bit into the tender flesh of her inner thigh, then laved the imprints of his teeth and watched the welts rise.

  Raine keened out a high-pitched screech. “Macen…”

  “Is that a yes?”

  Before she could answer, Liam pinched her nipples. As she gasped, he planted his feet on the mattress, spreading her legs wider. He thrust long and slow into her ass with a groan. “Beg Hammer to fuck your pretty, tight cunt. And hurry it up.”

  “Please. Macen.” Her high-pitched plea sounded beautifully desperate. “Please… I need you, too.”

  Something inside him snapped.

  Gripping his cock, Hammer nudged his blunt head against her sweltering pussy. He didn’t wait another second before he gripped her hips, then shoved up and inside her—balls deep in the first tight thrust.

  Jesus… Like heaven.

  “About damn time…” Liam moaned. “Fuck her. Hard.”

  With pleasure.

  He surged into her again. Her fragile body yielded, taking every inch he slammed deep. She wrapped her legs around him with a cry. Her pussy contracted. Her blue eyes glazed in ecstasy as her fingers bit into his shoulders. He growled.

  Below them, Liam drove into Raine’s ass. The friction of them both buried deep burned. Her back arched. Macen thumbed her clit. Raine shuddered and cried frantically, bucking, clamping down, so close to coming undone.

  Hammer slapped her pussy. “No. Don’t. You do not have permission.”

  Raine mewled as she rippled around his cock, then dragged in a breath. Too close… With a curse, Hammer pulled back.

  She shrieked, writhing and trying to force him deeper. “For the love of… I can’t take this. Fuck me!”

  “When we’re ready,” Liam insisted in her ear.

  Hammer withdrew completely and glowered at her. “You don’t make the demands. I told you to hold back.”

  Raine scowled at him. Before he could reprimand her, her expression dissolved. She whimpered and stabbed her nails into Liam’s thighs.

  The other man hissed, grabbed her wrists, and crossed them over her body and under her breasts. “Stop that, hellcat.”

  Hammer bent and bit down on the fleshy mound above her clit.

  Raine’s scream filled the room. He watched, seeing the moment her pain turned to bone-melting bliss, witnessing the little red marks on her vulnerable, bare pussy. He caressed the pretty brand.

  She trembled, breathing hard, fast. Her feverish blue eyes begged, telling Hammer that he’d become the devil and her savior all at once. He sent her a sinful smile.

  “Please…” Her voice sounded hoarse, raw.

  His inner beast loved stripping her down to a pale, pleading mass.

  Take her. Now.
