STORY EXCERPT

“Where were you guys all day?” Frank asked when Luke and Duke arrived around dinner time. They explained about the fire and about Charlie.

Frank felt his heart race. “Charlie, the blonde that works for Colby Agency?” Frank asked.

“You know her too?” Hogan asked.

“I met her in the office when Kinsey wanted to meet,” Frank said.

“I’m going to go shower,” Duke told them and headed out of the room.

Luke took a long slug from his bottle of water.

“How did the fire start? She hired Duke to paint?” Frank asked and Luke explained how things went down. He then looked down the hallway to ensure that Duke was in the shower.

“She is gorgeous, and has a great personality, and Duke was completely into her.”

“No,” Hogan said in shock.

“Yeah, completely, and I have to admit, I felt it too. She’s really beautiful, capable and strong-willed. She got burned because she was trying to handle the fire herself and was using a fire extinguisher. Duke had to pull her out of the room before she inhaled too much smoke.”

“Jesus, is she okay? How badly was she burned?” Frank asked with concern.

“A slight burn. I added some burn cream and wrapped it, but she really should be fine. I kind of did it for selfish reasons,” he admitted.

“What do you mean selfish reasons?” Hogan asked before Frank could.

“The guys were all checking her out, flirting, wanting to help her in any way they could. I could tell Duke was getting pissed, and to tell you the truth, I felt it too. It was instant. Like I saw her first, kind of response. Anyway, I wrapped it up and the moment I touched her, locked onto those gorgeous green eyes, and Christ, I was thinking things I didn’t even know where they came from.”

“She’s that hot? What do you know about her? Did you ask her out? Did Duke? Holy fuck,” Hogan asked, sounding as shocked as Frank felt.

“No, we didn’t ask her out.” He looked back at the hallway, making Frank feel uneasy.

“What aren’t you saying?”

“She’s young,” he said.

“How young? Like jail bait young, legal? What?” Hogan asked.

“Twenties, classy though and mature. Plus, she bought the old Lancaster place and it looks amazing and she did all the work herself. Including the landscaping.”

“Don’t tell me she did the electrical and that’s what caused the fire?” Frank asked.

“I thought that at first too learning about her capabilities with construction and landscape, but it was done professionally. The cause was from a defective dryer. Thank God she hadn’t turned it on at night while she was sleeping and alone.”

“Well, she had the alarm system obviously,” Hogan said.

“She had Colby Agency put it in. High tech, and she works for them so I’m assuming they gave her a good deal because they don’t do residential, only commercial,” Luke added.

They were quiet a moment.

“Duke actually seemed to respond to her, to show interest?” Frank asked. Luke nodded as he leaned back against the counter with his hands in his pockets.

“She’s incredible. I…I know this is going to sound fucking crazy, but I think there’s a connection, a common ground. I don’t know if I’m just hoping for Duke’s sake and ours as a family, as brothers, but something is there.”

“What do you mean, Luke?”

“The fire shook her up a bit, understandable, but as she walked Kinsey, Brea and the guys out, she was standing by the railing on the front porch and she zoned out. I called her name several times and as I touched her hip she gasped, swung around looking shocked, and it…her expression, her eyes, reminded me of Duke. Of when he’s out of it, lost in thought like an episode. She seemed really upset that it happened and she basically pulled away and headed back inside. Her demeanor changed and she wasn’t so responsive to even conversation. Duke felt it too.”

“He saw it?” Frank asked.

“No, he sensed the change in her and he looked at me like I did something and when we got here I told him what happened and he seemed affected by it. Like maybe he picked up on something too. I don’t know. Maybe I’m reaching here, but she doesn’t date or socialize much. Not as little as Duke, but Kinsey mentioned she likes being solo.”

“Maybe she has something wrong with her and her sweetness is a façade? You know as well as I do that some crazy women come around this town looking for things. Sometimes they go as far as moving here and then cause shit. Look at the Lenox men and that crazy broad Chelsea. She was all into them and she was twenty-four, had a good job in Fayetteville, but really she was after sex and their money,” Hogan said as he leaned back in the chair looking like he was suspicious. So was Frank and he was pretty damn protective of his family, especially Duke. They didn’t need him getting screwed over or hurt.

“Well, you two better try to think with the right heads,” Frank said, feeling pissed off for some reason.

Luke chuckled. “Yeah, more easily said than done considering you didn’t work side by side with her, inhaling her perfume, or get to feel her in your arms,” Luke said and then narrowed his eyes and whispered.

“I never felt such an instant attraction. I know I can be blunt with you guys, my brothers. My dick never felt so hard and I wasn’t even on a date, at a bar with her, hitting on her or anything. I basically inhaled her perfume and got to touch her, wrap her arm and hold her momentarily as she zoned out. It was all enough to make me curious and interested for more.”

ADULT EXCERPT

Duke lifted up and gave her a wink which was so out of character for such a hard ass soldier like him. “Brothers, lets claim our woman,” he said and it was on.

Luke slid onto one side, held her hand by entwining their fingers as he cupped her breast and began to feast on it. On her right side Frank eased up the side, clasped their fingers together and began to suckle and feast on that breast.

“Oh God. Oh my God,” she exclaimed and tilted her hips only for Duke to raise her thighs over his shoulders as he knelt on the floor at the edge of the bed and began to suckle and feast on her pussy. Hogan stood there, staring at her, licking his lips and stroking his thick, long cock.

“Baby, you are in for one hell of a night,” he said and Duke licked her from pussy to asshole. “Duke!” she cried out. He looked so damn serious she shivered.

“We’re going to claim every fucking hole, baby. When we take you together, it binds us forever. I want that. I need that. Can you give that to me? To us?” he asked as she stroked her pussy and then slid a finger to her asshole.

“Yes!” she screamed as she came.

“Holy fuck, bro,” Luke said.

“Do it, Duke. Make love to her first. Claim her your woman,” Frank said and he lifted up and released her hand.

“We take her together. You all right here with me,” he said and he eased upward, fisted his cock and held her gaze. Her ass was off the edge of the bed. Duke’s large, calloused hand cupped her hip and ass, holding her with one hand. He was so big, so masculine and sexy.

“I’m ready,” she said with more gusto than she really felt. She was scared out of her mind. She forced the flashbacks away. There was no room for them here. Not between her and these men. Her men.

He aligned his cock with her pussy and began to nudge into her. She panted for breath, locked onto his blue eyes, and then he thrust all the way in, stretching her cunt and shoving tingling sensations through her entire body.

“Duke!” she exclaimed as he growled and held himself in her.

“Fuck,” he exclaimed and then kissed her. She grabbed onto his head and hair, cupped his bearded cheek, and he began to move, to thrust in and out of her. She locked gazes with him and it shocked her as she saw tears in his eyes that matched hers. “Oh God, Duke.” He shook his head and lowered down to kiss her chest.

In and out he thrust and stroked deeper, faster as he squeezed her ass and hip and made the bed rock and creak.

“Mark her good and deep, bro. We need to make sure our woman knows she belongs to the Burns men,” Luke commanded.

“Oh God yes. Oh my God, Duke. Duke!” She cried out her release and he followed with a roar.

“I love you baby,” he said to her.

“I love you too,” she exclaimed and hugged him tight. She squeezed her thighs against him and tried to infuse everything she was feeling into him. The feel of his palm squeezing her ass and the way his heavy body lay over her like a shield of protection was a sensation she could get lost in forever, but then Luke cleared his throat. “Uh, we need her too, bro,” he said and she chuckled. Duke lifted up, stared down into her eyes as he stroked her cheek. “You’re mine,” he said in such a carnal tone and add in the beard, the long hair, that untamed look, and Jesus, she was ready to show some of her own aggressive possessive sensations and she had no idea where the confidence and gall came from. It didn’t matter because the second he moved out of the way, Luke took his place. He lifted her a little higher up the bed and he loomed over her, his one hand above her shoulder as he used his palm to explore her skin. He ran his fingers along her tattoo from thigh to hip and then toward her groin.

“That must have been some tattoo artist you went to. It’s incredible.”

“Harvey does amazing work.”

“I don’t like Harvey,” Hogan and Frank said at the same time and she chuckled.

“The fuck got this close to your pussy. To our pussy. Never again,” Luke said as he eased that finger along her groin and then right to her cunt. She reached down and gripped his wrist. He shook his head.

“Arms up and above your head, Charlie,” he ordered firmly and she could see a change in Luke’s eyes. A dominant, sexy, and commanding change. He must have seen the fear in her eyes because he gave her a wink and it somehow immediately made her move her arms above her head and want to be sexy for him, obedient to his commands. She was so turned on right now she came.

“Fuck,” he said and pulled fingers from her pussy and aligned his cock with her cunt and began to nudge right into her. He held her shoulder, cupped her breast and rocked his hips. She gasped as his thick, hard cock penetrated her pussy and felt like he reached her womb. These men were big, had big, thick, hard cocks and stretched her dormant pussy to capacity. She could feel the ache, but then the vibrations, the sensations of the connection eased over those aches like magic taking them away. It made her realize how real this was. How connected they were and she wanted more.
