STORY EXCERPT

“Eavesdropping?” he asked.

“No,” she said and then looked away. When he cupped her cheek and she had to look up into his eyes she felt weak.

“Don’t lie to me. I hate liars and you don’t seem like one at all.”

“I don’t lie. I was just going to walk out toward the gardens when I saw Mercury and Augustus talking.”

He caged her in against the house, one hand on the wall above her shoulder and one against her waist and the siding.

“And you figured you would listen in on a private conversation?”

“They were talking loudly, actually, so I waited and you appeared.” She leaned against the wall, trying to put more space between them but he used that to his advantage.

“And what did you hear?” he asked and inhaled.

“Something about work, about slackers,” she said, trying to sum up what she heard without mentioning terrorists, stitches and a knife fight.

“Hmm,” he said and she felt his fingers by her hair and then him caressing her hair.

“Don’t get mad at my brother. He’s doing his job, watching out for you. He doesn’t want to see you get hurt or to be in any danger.”

“I get that, it’s his delivery.”

“What do you mean?”

“His tone, his attitude, it intimidates.”

“That’s why he’s respected and does so well at his job. I would suck at it.”

“Why?” she asked him, finding the man she thought who was so quiet and angry to be sort of easy to converse to even like this, with him pinning her against a wall. So close, playing with her hair, and now stroking her waist.

“I don’t like people,” he said so seriously she laughed. He moved his other hand to her waist as well and stood there looking down at her.

“Can you do me a favor, because I have to live with him, can you abide by his rules? Maybe discuss an alternate route?”

“I’m not going to run at the track where a lot of other people do. It isn’t feasible, and the guys are a pain too. They think women go running there in their skimpy running outfits to flirt and get hit on.”

“Men are hitting on you there?”

“No, uhm, forget that, just, it doesn’t matter,” she said and went to move, feeling like he was making her stumble with her words and show her fear here.

“Wait, how about the sexy skimpy outfits. You wear those too?” he asked and stroked her hip. She snorted and pushed on his hand and stepped away.

She walked to the railing, turned around and faced him.

“You act differently than when you were at the shop, doing security for me.”

He looked her over and she felt it so she crossed her arms in front of her chest.

“I didn’t want to be there. Jackson called me and everyone else was in the middle of shit, I just finished up some things so I was available.”

“Babysitting not your thing?” she asked.

“It wasn’t babysitting.”

“You didn’t crack one smile. I guess I can feel your pain. I didn’t like being watched like I was on surveillance cameras.”

“When I do a job, I do it at a hundred percent,” he retorted firmly.

“So the liking of the protein bars was you pacifying the object you were sent to watch over?”

“I like your protein bars. I like your whole shop and the way you greet your customers, are knowledgeable on nutrition and are health conscious. You’re respectful to your employees and the only negatives were how often you got asked out and hit on.”

“A regular occurrence, but I think it’s because I’m new in town.”

“Bullshit,” he said and she squinted at him. He walked closer and she froze, was half fearful he would cage her in again and half hopeful he would. She was so confused about this. It was better to push them away, and keep her distance.

He stood right next to her, placed his hands on the railing of the porch and looked out. His body was next to hers, the heat could be felt with the mere centimeter between them. They both eased closer, closing that gap and she worried her bottom lip and didn’t look up.

“You deserve to be respected. You’re young, smart, beautiful and very knowledgeable. The men are drawn to you for obvious reasons, and then get hooked deeper when you actually open up your mouth and turn out not to be just a hot body, with sexy green eyes and someone who stands out so much. It’s aggravating to watch.”

“I don’t pay attention to any of that stuff.”

“You let them down easy. Make it all business. You’re doing that with my brother.”

“Your brother is the Sheriff. I don’t need to be part of his entourage of admirers and wind up the talk of the town and another notch in a man’s belt. The same goes for you,” she said and went to move but he snagged his arm out and she found herself caged in, looking up into those blue eyes wondering why she said what she did.

“Entourage? Talk of the town? Notch in his belt and mine? What are you even talking about?”

She felt flustered and she did bring it up, so it might be better to keep it all in the open and clear, so they knew where she stood. It was hard to process her reaction and retort with his large, strong arm around her midsection.

“Do you mind moving your arm, Mr. Law.” He raised one eyebrow up at her.

“Mr. Law?” he asked and squeezed her hip bone before he placed his hand on the railing right against her hip, still caging her in. He remained on the side of her, and could definitely restrain her, control her with just one arm. Why that was a turn on she didn’t need to analyze right now. Now she needed to stand her ground and not be easy, or give off indicators that she would entertain their games.

She pressed her hand over his forearm, glanced up at him and he lowered as if he might kiss her.

“Don’t,” she said and looked away.

He moved his arm and held on to the railing.

“It’s the young guys then, those are the ones that interest you most?” he asked and she was trying to get over him almost kissing her. She didn’t even know him as much as she knew the Sheriff.

“What are you talking about?” she asked and he pulled back.

“The younger guys, close to your age, that’s what interests you and why you aren’t giving in to this, whether it’s with the Sheriff or me.”

“No, no, I don’t want to be interested in anyone.”

ADULT EXCERPT

Augustus was ready to come in his pants and that was a first for him. He carried Arianna straight up to the bedroom, their estate huge, the stairs too fucking many at the moment as he carried her and wanted to sink his cock right into her cunt and claim her his woman. She was kissing his neck, and as he set her feet onto the rug, she kicked off her heels and he kissed her hard on the mouth. She was unbuttoning his shirt and Jackson was unzipping her dress, letting it fall to the rug.

“God damn, you’re so fucking beautiful,” Jackson said and lowered to his knees and began to spread her thighs. The sight of her completely naked, bra falling off as Weston unclipped it sent Augustus—hell, all five of them—into a frenzy. She was a super model, a goddess, fit for kings with her extra-large breasts, firm round ass, perfect thighs and sensual appetite as she lowered and took his cock into her mouth. Weston gripped her hair and smiled at Augustus.

“She was made for us. I’m never letting her go,” he said so serious and licked his lips, ran his palm over her ass as somehow Jackson sucked on her pussy, her thigh over his shoulder.

“Now this is a sight I can get used to,” Tanner said, undressing as Dustin tossed the tube of lube onto the bed, his shirt undone and desire in his eyes.

Augustus closed his eyes and absorbed the feel of Arianna’s hot, wet mouth sucking on his cock with vigor. She loved them as they loved her already. He just knew it. It shocked him, made him feel even more possessive and protective of her. Especially after almost losing her in that car accident and never mind to an ex who put her in the hospital. He wanted to ensure her safety forever and the only way to do that was by making her theirs and moving her in here to be with her always. He was jumping way ahead and he wasn’t even scared. That was how he confirmed this was real.

“I need in. Now,” Jackson said and she eased her mouth from Augustus’s cock as Jackson stood up, Weston released her hair and Jackson lifted her up and kissed her. She ran her fingers through his hair and Augustus took in the sight of her. That sexy, voluptuous body, round ass, perfectly tight asshole and thin arms, toned thighs, she was super hot. Jackson lowered back to the bed.

“Take me inside of you. No barriers. You said you have an IUD, right?” he asked.

“Yes. Oh God, I can’t believe I’m doing this. Five sexy, big men. God, I’m shaking, Jackson.”

“But you know we want you,” he said to her.

“That we want you as our woman, to claim guardianship of you, to move you in here to be with us forever, right?” he asked and Augustus smiled to himself. They were all on the same page.

“That’s so much to take in, yet I want that too. I hate being without you, and when you left me to head home I felt empty inside.”

“We felt it too,” Dustin said. She looked at him and then eased up, reached for Jackson’s cock and stroked him.

“I want to be your woman and I want all five of you to be my men, forever.”

She eased her pussy over Jackson’s cock.

“Forever,” Jackson said and pulled her down lower to kiss her as he thrust upward and she moaned. Their brother rocked his hips as Arianna and that sexy body of hers rose up and down on his shaft. Augustus couldn’t help but to reach out and caress her ass.

“Get her ready for all of us,” Jackson said, grunting as he thrust upward.

“Nice and slow, baby. This is lube to get you slick so we don’t hurt you.” Augustus told her.

“Take me. Do it. I want it all,” she said and moaned aloud. Dustin climbed up onto the bed.

“She is ours. Let’s make it official,” he said and caressed her hair and then eased her head toward his cock he held in his hand.

“Here.” Weston handed Augustus the lube.

Tanner stood on his other side. “Ours,” he said and reached out and caressed her back.

“Ride him, baby. Let go and feel it all,” Tanner said as she opened her mouth and accepted Dustin’s cock. She licked and sucked his dick into her mouth. Dustin moaned and caressed her hair, ran his palm down her shoulder and back as he rocked his hips gently.

“Oh yes, yes, just like that. My woman is a seductress,” he cheered her on.

Augustus squeezed lube to his fingers and began to ease one digit into her asshole. She tightened.

“Relax and just let go and feel it,” he said and she did. As she relaxed and his brothers moaned and rocked into her, he got her asshole super wet. His dick grew thicker.

“Take her. Claim her, then me and then Dustin,” Tanner said.
