STORY EXCERPT

As Louisa entered the office both Cooper and Daxton were there. Cooper wore a brown designer dress suit and Graham and Daxton wore dark gray. Their guns showed when they stood to greet her and she felt that twinkle of attraction to them. They looked her over and she was glad she wore the slim-fitting beige dress today. That was one thing she loved about this job. It required classy business attire and even cocktail dresses when the occasion called for it. In fact, there was an event next week, a fund-raiser, and she needed to dress up for it. She would have to call one of the girls and see who was available for shopping.

“Good to see you, Louisa. Please have a seat,” Cooper said and motioned for her to sit down. When she did she crossed her legs and all three men took position around her. Instead of Cooper sitting behind the desk, he leaned against the front of it, his legs inches from hers. Graham took the seat to her left and Daxton stood up with his arms crossed, watching her.

Daxton and Graham had brown crew-cut hair. They had very distinguished noses and their facial expressions looked chiseled and made her imagine their bodies were the same under those designer suits. She had caught sight of them yesterday when they removed their jackets and stood in the banquet hall with their guns and radios holstered on their hips. The image stood in her mind all night.

“I just finished going over this list of temporary staff for Saturday. I’m going to need more time to do background checks on them,” Cooper explained.

“I think that Deanna already approved them and they’re all coming in on Friday for a meeting,” she said to him.

He narrowed his eyes at her, then looked at his brothers. “She knows this needs to come through me,” he said to her.

“Okay, then discuss it with her.”

“I thought this was part of your responsibilities?” he challenged and she felt like he was insulting her or her capabilities. She replied quickly.

“It is, but considering the type of event it is and who it will be drawing in, I expect you to do your job thoroughly so we aren’t putting our guests at risk. Am I right?” she replied.

“I’ll do my job and you do yours, Louisa, and it will work out fine.”

She knew she angered him but damn, was the man a real hard-ass, and he seemed set on making her feel uncomfortable. As they talked about the other aspects of security for the event and how the guards would be in uniforms she interrupted.

“Perhaps, you could consider limiting the number of uniformed security and change those to plainclothes, undercover security?” she asked.

“What does it matter? People know the price tags on these things being sold and on display. They won’t bat an eye at the uniforms,” Graham said to her. She turned slightly to look at him.

“You don’t think so, but coming from my perspective and how this venue, the surroundings, will be perceived, fewer uniforms make people feel more relaxed, willing to buy, and let people enjoy themselves. Atmosphere is everything. This is a high-priced, beachfront resort. There are very influential, wealthy people staying here for this weekend because of the event. We want them back, and we want them booking up more parties and keeping us all working. Could you please work something out?” she asked.

“I think we can come up with something, Cooper.” Daxton said, but his eyes remained on Louisa.

“You’ll be there, correct?” Graham asked.

“Of course I will be.”

They went over a few more details and she wrote down some things to ask Deanna and get back to them on and then she stood up.

“Well, I think we covered everything. I need to head down to the kitchen to finalize some things with Carl,” she told them.

“We’re heading down there now. We’ll walk with you,” Graham and Daxton told her.

She squinted at them. “You’re going to the kitchen?” she asked.

“To the banquet hall actually, but we’ll walk together,” Daxton said and motioned with his hand for her to go first toward the door as Graham opened it.

She glanced over her shoulder at Cooper and gave a little smile. “Later, Cooper,” she said and he just stared at her with no expression whatsoever. She felt a twinge of embarrassment. Perhaps he really wasn’t a very friendly guy after all.

“So what made you decide on becoming an event coordinator? Just like throwing parties?” Daxton asked her as they headed down the hallway. She was going to reply but they reached Gus’s desk.

She looked at Gus. “Bye, Gus.”

“Hope to see you again real soon, Louisa,” he said and winked. She chuckled. He was so friendly. As she got into the elevator she saw Graham had a pissed-off expression on his face and said something to Gus who now looked shocked and like he was in trouble. She squinted at Graham.

“Something wrong?” she asked as they got into the elevator.

“Nothing. Answer the question,” Daxton snapped at her and she opened her mouth to respond and saw him raise both eyebrows up at her. She closed her mouth and looked away. When she felt the hand on her arm and Daxton caressing her skin, she turned to look up at him and those sexy brown eyes.

He stared at her lips and his hand brushed down her arm to her hip. He gave it a tap. “Ignore Graham, he’s in a grumpy mood. So tell me why an event coordinator?” She got annoyed at the way he looked at her lips, and the fact that he thought he could just touch her and look at her seductively. It was the intensity of his stare, and the instant desire she felt for him that had her pushing his hand off her hip. The elevator door opened.

“Do I look like I was born yesterday?” She went to move, but he grabbed her hand and narrowed his eyes at her as he looked down. He was tall just like his brothers Cooper and Graham. She glanced at Graham who still looked so angry. She was starting to believe it was the guy’s disposition.

“What is that supposed to mean, Louisa?” Daxton asked.

She pulled her hand free. “It means I’m not interested, and definitely not going to be welcomed the way I heard you and your brothers welcome women at this hotel.” She turned around and stormed out of the elevator and toward the banquet hall.

“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” she heard Daxton say, but she ignored them and kept walking. She didn’t know if the rumors around the hotel were true or if a few of the females who worked there just wanted Louisa to stay clear of the Hunt men. None of it mattered to her. She was just glad to have a job again and to not worry about her boss showing up in her office with his pants down and his dick in his hand. She shook her head at the thought of that frightening moment.

She was past Paulano’s shit, and hopefully she just set some boundaries for the Hunt men. Hopefully.

ADULT EXCERPT

“I need to tell you something. To explain why I’m so fearful of letting the six of you close.”

“Because they hurt you and betrayed you,” Graham said to her.

“That and because I put up a wall around my heart, my body, and promised never to let another man that close to me. To claim my body in such a deep, permanent way. I know that when I do that, when I have sex, it’s going to mean something. I won’t let it be tainted by the past, by making the wrong decision and letting the wrong man inside of me.”

“We aren’t here to hurt you, Louisa,” Graham said to her. She looked at him and then stepped closer to Micah.

“I know that. I’m battling these demons for so long that I’m screwing up everything that feels right. The six of you surrounding me, caring for me, protecting me, feels right. Your kisses, your embrace, your fingers, mouths on my body feel right.”

“That’s good, baby, because this is right. We want you in every way. We want to take those bad memories away and replace them with love, with pleasure,” Jace said.

“I want that, Jace, and I want all of you.”

“Then let us in, Louisa. Let us take away past lovers and regrets and begin new with the seven of us,” Daxton said to her.

“It will be new because I’ve never let a man that close to me. I’ve never had sex before, so you’ll be the only six men to get that close.”

“Louisa.” Micah said her name and pulled her into an embrace. She hugged him tight and looked right at Graham.

“I want to belong to you, all of you, and only all of you. Can you make that commitment to me, at least for now?”

“You’re ours and we’re yours. Nothing else matters,” Vaughn said and then Micah lifted her up, she straddled his waist and he carried her into the house.

* * * *

Micah was shocked at all that Louisa revealed. She was tough, had been taking care of herself for so long and hiding behind this tough, classy persona for so long. She trusted them enough to let them know, and all he wanted to do was to show what real love was. To not taint sex with a dirtiness, a displeasure, and they would take their time showing her.

He lowered her feet to the floor.

“When we make love today it binds us all. Do you understand what that means?” he asked her. She stared up into his eyes with those gorgeous, caramel-colored gems that drew him in every time he looked at her.

“I’ve waited a long time. I know I’m young, Micah, but show me how it’s supposed to be. Show me what to do to make you all happy,” she said to him and then ran her palm up under his shirt against his chest.

“By accepting the six of us, you’re making a commitment to everything a ménage stands for.” He lifted his shirt up over his head and then lifted hers up. She wore no bra and her breasts bounced from the motion. Graham and Jace were there to each cup a breast.

“There will be no other men but us, understood?” Graham asked her and then he suckled her nipple.

“Yes.”

“No other women for you guys either, correct?” she asked.

Jace chuckled and blew warm breath over her nipple. “Only you. You’re all I want and all I need.” He teased her nipple and she moaned softly.

“You’re on the pill, correct?” Micah asked and undid his pants and took them off.

“How did you know?”

“When we do an investigation on someone we find out everything,” Vaughn said from behind Micah.

“One after the next, because of the bruises,” Graham said and stepped back.

Louisa grabbed on to his arm and shook her head. “Together, the way a ménage is supposed to be, and always be,” she said to him.

“We don’t want to hurt you,” Jace said.

“I know you won’t. I know you’re older and more experienced. I trust you. I want you all. Please, Graham,” she begged. He cupped her cheek and kissed her tenderly. Micah pulled off the rest of his clothing and pushed down Louisa’s shorts and panties. Graham released her lips and Micah lay down on the bed, taking her hand to pull her up. She climbed on top of him. Her full breasts were a glorious sight as he cupped them and she moaned, tilted her head back, and rocked her hips.

“Come up here, Louisa. I need to get you ready for cock,” he said and slid his hands down her ribs to her hips, lifted her up and forward and she gasped and reached for the comforter to brace her fall. His mouth landed on her cunt and he began to lick, suck, and feast on her pussy. Back and forth he aroused her. He licked a path to her anus and then pushed fingers up into her cunt, then over her ass. She moaned, panted, and rocked her hips.

“She’s ready,” Graham said and Micah lifted her up, saw her eyes widen, and then she lowered down and kissed him. She explored his mouth with vigor, showing how much he turned her on as she rocked her hips at the same time. He reached for his cock and aligned it with her cunt. She followed, sinking down slowly over his shaft and then releasing his lips to moan.

“Oh God, Micah. I don’t know,” she said and lifted up.

He gripped her hips. “Once I break through that barrier it will be okay. Let me in,” he said and she panicked.

“Micah, please. Do it. Take my virginity, all of you.”

He rolled her onto her back and nudged into her tight cunt. He felt the barrier against the tip of his cock and kept nudging and then shoved into her, breaking the seal and claiming her his woman.

She cried out and gripped on to his shoulders.

“Oh my God. Oh God,” she moaned and he pulled out and eased back in. He continued to thrust into her, stroking, easing back and forth until she got used to his cock invading her pussy. When she relaxed in his arms and started to counter-thrust he rolled onto his back and she straddled him. He cupped her face and neck.

“Ride me. Claim me yours while Graham gets your ass ready for cock,” he said and she bit her lower lip and began to ride him.

Graham caressed her back and pressed her lower. “So good, such a sexy little body our woman has,” Graham said and she moaned at whatever his brother was doing.

“Together,” she said.
