STORY EXCERPT

“What’s wrong, bro?” Brax asked. “You look as if you’ve just seen a ghost.”

“In a way I have.” He swallowed around the constrictive emotional lump in his throat. “I know where Jaylynn is.”

“What?” Cael crossed his arms over his chest and scowled at him.

“How the hell could you know that?” Brax asked. “We haven’t seen her for just over twelve months, and she’s never once contacted us.”

“Prepare yourselves, brothers.”

“What are you trying to pull?” Cael grabbed Ajay’s shirt in his fist.

“She’s working in the diner,” Ajay said hoarsely.

“Are you shitting me?” Cael released Ajay’s shirt and leaned back against the brick wall.

“No. You know I’d never joke about Jaylynn.”

“She’s in there?” Brax asked incredulously. “Right now?”

Ajay nodded. “Yes.”

“Does she look okay?” Cael asked.

“As far as I can tell, but I only got a glimpse of her.” Ajay frowned. “She’s very pale and looks exhausted, and I think she’s lost weight.”

“Fuck, she was already slim.” Brax rubbed at the back of his neck. “She couldn’t afford to lose any weight.”

Ajay nodded. “I know, but just remember I only got a glimpse of her, so my assessment may be off. I wanted to prepare you both for seeing her.”

“I’m glad you did.” Cael placed a hand on his chest, over his heart. “My heart is racing and I’m not sure what I would have done if I’d gone in there without knowing she was here.”

“Me, too,” Brax said. “We have to keep our emotions out of this. There has to be a damn good reason why she ran off the way she did.”

“And if there isn’t?” Ajay asked.

“I guess we’ll have to cross that bridge when we come to it,” Brax answered.

“Are you both ready?” Cael glanced toward the diner. “I need to see her for myself. I just want to know that she’s happy.”

“Let’s go.” Brax nodded.

Ajay spun toward the door and took the lead with a brisk determined pace. Whatever was going on with Jaylynn, he intended to find out. Even if it took the rest of his life.

He paused outside the glass door and took a deep calming breath as he searched for Jaylynn. He exhaled slowly when he saw she was tending to some customers with her back toward them. Ajay pulled the door open and stepped inside, his brothers right behind him.

He spied the Sheffield men right away and grinned as he moved toward their booth. He took a seat, scooted over to make room for Brax and Cael, then placed a finger over his lips.

“What’s going on?” Cree asked in a whisper after he leaned forward.

“Our friend’s sister that disappeared has just shown up,” Ajay replied in a quiet voice.

“Are you shitting me?” Nash frowned.

“Where is she?” Cree asked.

“Did she call or text you?” Wilder asked.

Brax shook his head. “No, she’s right here, working in this diner.”

The three Sheffield men frowned.

Wilder crossed his arms over his chest, but quickly unfolded them before glancing about the room. He turned back to meet each of his brothers’ gazes before locking eyes with Ajay. “Are you talking about Jaylynn?”

“We are,” Cael said.

“Shit. She’s been here for around twelve months,” Wilder said.

“She’s a quiet little thing.” Cree rubbed at his chin.

“If we’d known the name of the woman you were worried about, we could have put your minds at ease,” Nash said.

“Doesn’t matter.” Brax leaned back against his seat. “We know where she is and that she’s okay. That’s what’s important.”

“From the way you three can’t take your eyes off of her, I’d say she’s very important.” Cree quirked an eyebrow. “Am I right?”

“You are,” Ajay replied.

“What do you know about her?” Cael asked. “Does she talk about where she’s from? Why she’s here?”

“We don’t know much,” Wilder answered. “She keeps to herself mostly. Don’t you know her that well? I thought you would since you were her pseudo guardians while her brother was serving.”

“We do know her, for the most part, but she changed after her brother died. She used to be so open and friendly, but then she closed up, became introverted after Sebastian’s death. We hated leaving her alone, but we were called up on mission after mission.” Brax shrugged. “You know how it is.”

“That we do,” Cree murmured.

“She’s about to turn around,” Ajay whispered. He kept his gaze on her and knew his brothers were watching her just as intently. She was walking toward them with a smile on her face, but Ajay realized the smile was fake because her eyes weren’t sparkling.

Her steps faltered when she glanced toward the booth they were sitting in and she came to a halt. Her face paled even further and when she began to sway on her feet, Ajay wished he wasn’t crammed in against the window, so he could get to her. She closed her eyes and murmured something under her breath and then opened her eyes again.

And then her knees started to buckle.

Brax jumped to his feet and caught Jaylynn in his arms before she could hit the floor. He lifted her up against his chest and frowned with concern down at her beautiful face. Cael and Ajay were on their feet seconds later, as were the Sheffield brothers.

“Shit!” Wilder squeezed Brax’s shoulder. “I think you’ve given her a great shock.”

ADULT EXCERPT

Brax climbed onto the bed and pulled the button open on her jeans before lowering the zipper. She trembled when he hooked his thumbs under the waistband of her jeans and panties and then tugged them down. Jaylynn lifted her ass from the bed so her clothes came off easily, and glanced down shyly at the hand she had resting between her breasts.

Her heart was thudding hard and rapidly against her sternum and she was once more panting shallowly.

The mattress moved as Ajay maneuvered to a more comfortable position and she moaned when he cupped her breast in his hand, raising and lowering the soft globe as if he was weighing it.

“I love your breasts, honey. They are so fucking perfect with these dark, rosy, hard nipples.” Ajay lowered his head and swirled his tongue around and around her nipple. She cried out when Cael tweaked the other nipple between his finger and thumb and groaned when Brax began to caress up and down her legs.

When he got to her knees, he pushed her thighs apart and then shimmied down onto his belly between them. He lowered his head toward her pussy and inhaled deeply through his nose. “You smell good enough to eat, baby.”

That was the only warning she got.

Brax lowered his mouth the last couple of inches to her pussy and then licked from bottom to top. She jolted and her belly muscles jumped when he lapped over her engorged sensitive clit. Her internal muscles convulsed on emptiness and cream dripped from her pussy.

A low groan bubbled up from her chest and out from between her parted lips when Cael and Ajay both began to draw on her nipples firmly. Shards of pleasure zipped down from her breasts and centered in her wet pussy.

Brax groaned as he swirled his tongue around and over her clit before licking back down through her folds. She shook when he dipped his tongue into her creamy well and then started fucking her with it.

Jaylynn combed her fingers into Cael’s and Ajay’s hair, clutching handfuls as if trying to keep herself grounded. Her insides were on fire and she felt as if she was about to break apart, and she needed to anchor herself in the tumultuous passionate storm.

Cael lifted his mouth from her breast and kissed his way back up toward her mouth. She didn’t even notice she still had ahold of his hair until he clasped her wrist and tugged her hand away. He threaded his fingers into her hair and kissed her hungrily.

Jaylynn was on sensation overload. Her insides were melting with the fiery heat coursing through her veins, her blood. She wasn’t sure she could handle much more without splintering apart.

Heat seeped into the palm of her hand, causing her to realize she was touching Cael’s chest. She tangled her tongue with his and began to caress over his hot, toned body. His pectorals were hard and strong, and she loved the hair on the flesh over his sternum. It was soft and yet coarse but felt so good against her palm, her fingers.

Jaylynn smoothed her hand down lower, loving the way her hand undulated over all those toned sexy ridges. When she got to the delineated muscles in his abs, she mapped the dips and hollows with the tips of her fingers. The back of her hand brushed against the tip of his hard dick and when she felt moisture on her skin, she realized he was very, very excited. She might have been a virgin, but she wasn’t totally naïve. She’d read some romance stories to while away free time, which wasn’t that often, so she didn’t have to interact with other people over the years. When a man leaked pre-cum he was really turned on.

Her heart flipped in her chest and awe filled her soul. They’d told her how attracted to her they were, and this was definite proof that they’d been telling the truth. She wondered if Ajay and Brax were leaking pre-cum too.

Jaylynn pushed Cael’s boxers down and wrapped her hand around his shaft. He growled as he bucked his hips toward her and then broke the kiss. “That feels so fucking good, sweetness. I love having your hands on me.”

She twitched when Brax laved her clit and cried out when he lashed at the sensitive nub with his tongue. A moan emitted from between her lips when he rimmed her soaked pussy entrance with the tip of his finger and she groaned when he pressed the tip inside.

Ajay scraped the edge of his teeth over her nipple, sending streaks of pleasure shooting down to her core.

She panted and puffed as Brax slowly worked his finger deeper into her wet pussy. Nerve endings sparked to life each time he glided his digit in and out of her cunt, and the pressure began to build.

Liquid desire pooled low in her belly and her legs began to tremble. Brax wrapped his arms around her thighs, spread her legs farther apart and lapped hard and fast at her clit while he thrust his finger in and out of her pussy.

The internal walls began to gather closer and closer. The wet frictional slide of Brax’s digit sent pleasure deep into her cunt and womb. Tension invaded every single muscle in her body and she rolled her head back and forth on the pillow.

And then she held her breath.
