Rules of Desire: Protecting Erin

STORY EXCERPT

Erin woke once more to the feel of a tight band around her swollen abdomen.

She’d had cramps on and off for the last several hours and had tried to ignore them.

She couldn’t ignore them anymore.

They’d woken her several times during the night but had eased quickly, allowing her to drift back to sleep, warm and comfortable between two of her husbands.

It was bad enough that she had to get up two or three times a night to use the bathroom, and she couldn’t wait to get back into bed and be warmed by her husbands’ hard bodies on either side of her.

With her head pillowed on Duncan’s chest, his arm around her, and Jared at her back, she was cocooned in warmth and didn’t want to move.

It would seem that her baby had other ideas.

Another tightening of her abdomen, one that hurt worse than the last made it clear that she couldn’t lie there much longer.

When she felt a rush of moisture between her thighs, panic set in and she knew the time had come to wake her husbands.

But she didn’t want to panic them.

Tilting her head back, she looked up at Duncan, taking in his handsome features and sleep-tousled hair with a smile.

Another contraction and the fact that she was uncomfortably wet had her pressing a hand to his chest.

“Duncan.”

The arm at her back tightened. “Hmm? Need to go to the bathroom again?” He started to sit up and reached for her to help her out of bed, his tone groggy, one that she knew would change quickly.

Their room-darkening curtains made it impossible to know the time, but a glance at the clock told her it was just a little after five.

“My water broke.”

“Hmm. Okay.” His entire body stiffened, all traces of grogginess gone. “What? The baby?” Reaching out, he turned on the light, bathing the room in a soft glow.

Jared jerked upright, kneeling next to her with a protective hand on her swollen abdomen, his eyes searching hers. “The baby? You okay?”

Erin struggled to sit up, with Duncan and Jared both reaching out to help her.

“I need to take a shower.”

Duncan, usually the most playful of her husbands, was already shaking his head. “No.” He stood, naked, and went to the closet. “We need to go. We’ll wrap you in a blanket.”

Wearing just a pair of sweatpants that hung low on his hips, Reese rushed into the room.

“What’s going on? The baby?”

Duncan shook out a blanket and came toward her. “Yeah. Her water broke. I’m gonna get her wrapped in the blanket. We all need to get dressed.”

Reese came to kneel beside her, his smile tender but his eyes dark with concern. “Does it hurt, baby?”

“Not much.” She swatted at Duncan’s attempts to wrap the blanket around her. “No, Duncan. I’m wet and need a shower.” With Reese’s help, she rose and started for the bathroom. “I’m getting dressed. I’m not going to the hospital in a damned blanket.”

When another contraction hit, she stopped, holding on to Reese until it passed.

“Enough of this.” Still naked, Jared bent and gently picked her up. “Let’s get your damned shower. Reese, call the doctor. Duncan, get her suitcase out of the closet.”

Another contraction hit while Jared washed her, and pausing, he held her to him, rubbing her back.

“Christ, I wish I could take the pain for you.”

Once the contraction passed, Erin laughed to ease the tension emanating from him.

“That’s a picture I’d like to see.”

Jared’s eyes narrowed, his smile not wiping away the concern in his eyes.

“You callin’ me a pussy, darlin’?” He finished rinsing her and turned off the water, keeping a supporting arm around her.

Leaning back against him, she smiled up at him over her shoulder.

“I wouldn’t dare.”

Reese, already dressed, opened the shower door, holding a large bath sheet.

“Come on, baby. Let’s get you dried off and dressed.”

He gathered her close when another contraction hit, frowning as he wrapped the bath sheet around her. Once it passed, he carried her into the bedroom where Duncan turned from her closet.

They both hurriedly dressed her in her most comfortable dress before Duncan lifted her in his arms, smiling and dropping a soft kiss on her lips.

“Let’s go have a baby.”

When another contraction hit, Reese grimaced and closed in on her other side, covering the hand she pressed to her abdomen with his own.

“Oh, baby.”

Jared, who’d already thrown on jeans and a T-shirt, slid a pair of her fuzzy socks on her feet. His tousled hair told her he hadn’t done more than run a towel over it, leaving it hanging rakishly over his forehead.

“Let’s go.”

“Damn, you look sexy when you’re tousled.”

Jared stilled, his eyes going wide. “What? Are you okay?”

“I’m pregnant, not blind.” Another contraction hit, much harder than the last.

Exchanging looks with Duncan and Reese, Jared clenched his jaw. “Let’s get her to the hospital.”

ADULT EXCERPT

Clenching on Duncan’s cock, Erin moaned at the awareness that Jared had created in her ass. She needed to be filled, but it had been a long time, and Jared’s present mood added to the sexual tension. “Oh God.”

It came out as a breathless groan, her entire body stiffening at the relentless pressure of Jared’s cock against her puckered opening.

Reese’s eyes flared. “I’m about to collect.” Moving closer, he ran a hand down her back, and she could imagine him watching Jared work his cock into her. “Easy, Jared. It’s been a while for her.”

“I know that, Reese!” Jared grunted as the head of his cock pushed through the tight ring of muscle and into her. His hands closed over her upper thighs while Duncan’s tightened on her hips.

A shiver went through her at the too intense sensation, a sensation that became even more decadent when Jared began to move. “Oh God.”

Her puckered opening burned, forced to stretch to accommodate him.

“You got her, Duncan? I don’t want her to buck and hurt herself.”

With a groan, Jared thrust deeper, withdrew slightly, and thrust again, each thrust filling her ass more and more with his cock. “Fuck.”

Aware of all three of her husbands watching her, Erin stared into Duncan’s eyes and moaned harshly, her body struggling to adjust to the extreme fullness.

Duncan’s eyes glittered with hunger and love just as Reese slid a hand into her hair and Jared pressed his lips to her shoulder, reminding her that love drove them.

The sharpened intimacy brought tears to her eyes, and with a hungry moan, she moved on them. “You gonna take me or just talk about it?”

“Oh, yeah. We’re gonna take you.” Duncan’s jaw clenched, his grip tightening. “She’s good, Jared. Move, damn it!”

“With pleasure.”

Jared made a low primitive sound and withdrew slightly, slowly pushing his cock into her ass again.

Duncan thrust deep while Jared withdrew again, both men’s groans uninhibited, their passion like a living, breathing thing wrapping her in heat.

They set up a rhythm that stayed smooth and controlled, but their groans, their grip, and the way their bodies trembled against hers told her that their control clung by a thread.

She knew them well, though, and knew they would never hurt her.

Because she trusted them so completely, she could lose herself in the pleasure, especially with Reese and Duncan watching her so intently.

“Oh God!” Pleasure rippled through her, the friction against her inner walls and the heat and fullness of their thick cocks driving her relentlessly toward the edge.

Reese moved away slightly to rid himself of his jeans, coming back to her within seconds to run his hands over her back. “Damn, baby. You’re beautiful.”

Duncan surged deep, his eyes narrowed to slits. “And all ours.”

Clinging to Duncan’s shoulders, Erin threw her head back, moaning her pleasure. “Oh God. It’s…it’s…” Lost in sensation, she couldn’t even remember what she’d been about to say.

Duncan grunted and thrust again. “Yeah. It is.”

She turned her head toward Reese, her eyes locked with his narrowed ones as he ripped open a condom with his teeth.

Hungry for the taste of him, she gave in to her own hunger and leaned forward, taking his cock into her mouth.

With a hiss, Reese firmed his touch, sliding one hand up and down her back while the other slid under her to caress her breast. “Damn it, Erin! I’m already too hungry for you.”

Erin fought to focus on Reese, but Duncan and Jared, although taking her together, seemed to each be vying for her attention.

Jared withdrew until just the head of his cock remained inside her and slapped her ass, making her bottom even hotter. “We’re all hungry for her, and she’s just as hungry for us. Aren’t you, baby?”

Duncan surged deep with a groan. “She’s clenching like crazy. Trying to send us over, darlin’? I’ve got news for you, sweetheart. You’re going first.”

Reese slid his hands into her hair, fucking her mouth with slow, shallow strokes. “So fucking good.”

The tingling at her slit grew with every stroke. The burning sensation in her clit and puckered opening made it even more intense.

Jared thrust again, going just a little deeper. “Yes, it is. Always.” Holding his cock deep, he gripped her tighter, moving her hips in a slow circle while holding his cock deep inside her.

The sensation stunned her.

The head of his cock felt hotter.

Thicker.

She whimpered around Reese’s cock, the intense pleasure sending her over in a rush of heat that left her breathless.

Clamping down on the cocks inside her, she bowed, shaking helplessly despite their hands running over her in a soothing manner.

Jared groaned, signaling his release. “Damn, it just keeps getting better.”

“One day it’s gonna kill us.” Reese slid his cock free as both Duncan and Jared simultaneously thrust into her. “Damn, that’s hot.”

With a hand at her lower back, Duncan slid his hand into her hair, cupping the back of her head, lowering it to his. “Damned hot.” Nipping at Erin’s bottom lip, Duncan groaned. “Dying of pleasure is a hell of a way to go.”

Swallowing her cries of ecstasy, he rocked his hips, keeping the pleasure rolling through her.

Distantly aware that Reese left her side, Erin dropped back onto Duncan’s chest, moaning again when Jared pressed a kiss to her back and eased his cock from her ass.

Moving to her side, Jared ran a hand from her shoulder to her ass, bending to touch his lips to her shoulder. “I’ll be right back. We’re not done here.”

Raw Desire: Alison's Awakening

STORY EXCERPT

Marshall Garrison, one of Desire’s new deputies, squealed tires as he came to an abrupt stop on the side of the street. He jumped out and rushed toward them, moving fast for such a big man. “What the hell? Jesus! How bad is it?”

Alison breathed deeply, fighting off the nausea caused by the pain in her hip and upper arm. “I just got a little dizzy. I’m fine.”

“Sure you are.” Marshall frowned down at her, the furious glint in his eyes sending a chill through her. “Did you call—never mind. They’re here.”

Dillon shoved his way through to her, his expression wild. “Ally? Baby, everything’ll be okay. Thanks, Rio. Give her to me.”

The anguish in his tone made her smile. “I’m fine. Just a little sore.” The pain had begun to get worse. “Please put me down. My hip and arm hurt.”

Holding her against his chest, Dillon studied her features, his own grim and pale. “Hang on, baby.”

“I’m fine. Please put me down. I’m starting to hurt, and you’re moving so fast that it’s making me sick again. My arm and my hip feel like they’re on fire.”

“Throw up if you have to, but we’ve gotta move.” Dillon strode back the way she’d come. “We’re gonna get you to Doc Hansen’s. He’s waiting for us.”

Alison pushed against Dillon’s chest. “Everyone’s staring. Put me down.”

Marshall followed them, opening the back door of the pickup as he disconnected his call. “Ambulance will meet you at Doc Hansen’s office.”

Grimacing, Dillon nodded and got into the back seat with her, cursing when she cried out in pain. “Thanks, Marshall. Did you get him?”

“He’s already in cuffs. I’m staying with you.”

Seeing Rio again, Alison gasped in horror when she saw that his T-shirt was drenched in blood. Fighting dizziness, she tried to lift her arm to point toward him, but it proved impossible. “Why are you worrying about me? Dear God! Rio’s been shot!”

Dillon ripped off his T-shirt and pressed it against her hip while Ryder, his eyes filled with fear and rage, tied a towel around her upper arm. “Rio hasn’t been shot. That’s your blood, baby. You’re the one who’s been shot. We’ve got you. I need you to calm down.”

Ignoring the pain in her arm, she focused on her hip, the one that had been broken when she’d fallen down the stairs. “The baby!”

Dillon kissed her forehead, holding his T-shirt to her hip. “Everything’s gonna be fine.” His voice, raw with agony, rumbled in his chest. “I need you to calm down. We don’t want you going into labor until it’s time. Lie still. I’m trying to slow the bleeding.”

The baby had stopped moving, which scared the hell out of her. Fighting not to panic, she forced herself to breathe as slowly and evenly as she could, flattening her hands on her abdomen and willing her baby to move.

A sob escaped. “The baby was moving before. He stopped. Oh God! What have I done?”

Ryder roared down the street, following closely behind Marshall, who used his lights and siren for the short journey. “Just calm down, baby. Everything’s gonna be fine. You didn’t do anything.”

“I yelled at him and told him to go to hell.” She sucked in a breath at the combination of pain and the fear in Ryder’s eyes and whipped her head around to see the same fear and rage in Dillon’s. Leaning forward, she touched her lips to his jaw. “You’re scared. I’ll be okay.”

Holding his T-shirt to her hip, Dillon pressed his lips to her forehead. “I know you will. Ryder and I won’t let anything happen to you or the baby.”

Struggling to hide her pain and her own fears, she leaned into him, growing weaker by the minute. “I know. This baby’s too important to all of us. With you and Ryder with us, we can get through…”

Her head began spinning, and darkness closed in.

Dillon stiffened when her voice trailed off and she slumped again him. “Fuck! Ally? Ally!”

Panicked when he saw that she’d passed out, he held on to her for dear life as they pulled into the doctor’s parking lot behind Marshall. He met Ryder’s terrified gaze. “She passed out!”

Marshall opened the door and stood aside, his eyes going wide when he saw that Alison had lost consciousness. His hard features hardened even more. “She’ll be all right. Let’s get her inside.”

Ryder rushed around and reached out to take Alison, but Dillon didn’t want to let her go. “If I ever get my hands on those sons of bitches—”

“Linc and Joe already have them, and Ace is on his way there. I’m with you all the way to the hospital. I’ll wait out here for the ambulance.”

Dillon didn’t reply, his entire focus on his wife as he rushed into the doctor’s office with fear clawing at him at the thought of losing either her or their baby.

ADULT EXCERPT

The relentless friction drove her wild. “Damn it! It’s not fair.”

Ryder groaned, his gaze narrowed on hers. “What’s not fair?”

She clenched on his cock, lifting her breasts into Dillon’s caress. “That you can do this to me so easily.”

Ryder chuckled, a harsh sound filled with tension. “Just a matter of learning how to touch my wife.” He bent to touch his lips to hers. “I learned just where she likes to be touched and how. I know this pussy needs a cock pressing right here, and just like this.”

Alison cried out at the sharp pleasure, holding on tightly to Ryder. “Oh! Oh God! Please!”

Dillon moved away to make room for Ryder, running his hand over her hair and smiling down at her. “Looks like you found the spot.”

Amused, Alison clung to Ryder’s shoulders, throwing her head back with another moan. “You two know me too well. Oh God!”

Dillon tightened his hand in her hair and turned her toward him. “Yeah. More and more every day. We’re not about to let you hide from us anymore.”

Another rush of moisture escaped, her pussy clenching on Ryder as he quickened his shallow thrusts. “I’m gonna come!”

Ryder groaned and bent to touch his lips to hers, careful not to press against her belly. “I know. Come.” He moved faster, his gaze steady on hers. “Come for me now, Ally. That’s it. Give it to me.”

Alison reveled in his growly tone, her body tightening as the wave of pleasure began to wash over her. Crying out, she clung tighter to him, her cries becoming breathless as the wave crested.

Straightening slightly, Ryder slid a little deeper, his hands tightening on her thighs as he threw his head back with a groan. “Fuck, baby.”

“Easy, Ryder.” Staring down at her with narrowed eyes, Dillon lightly caressed her tight abdomen. “Sounds like Ryder’s enjoying himself.”

He bent to sip at her lips. “I know just what that feels like. Being inside you when that soft pussy ripples and tightens on my cock is like heaven.”

Glancing down, Alison smiled when she saw his erection, struggling to catch her breath as the waves slowly slowed. “For me, too. It feels so good when you and Ryder take me.”

Love for them rose within her, the intensity of it bringing tears to her eyes. “I love you both so much.”

Ryder smiled tenderly and slowly withdrew, lowering her thighs and stretching out beside her. “And it makes you cry?”

Wiping her eyes, she rolled slightly toward him, smiling when Dillon moved in behind her. “Ignore me.”

Chuckling, Ryder slid a hand to her neck and held her against his chest. “Not a chance. I think it’s adorable. Sexy and adorable.”

Reveling in the feel of their bodies surrounding hers, Alison reached up and behind her to slide her hands into Dillon’s hair, sucking in a breath at the feel of his hand cupping her breast. “Dillon!”

“I’m here. You’re gonna be still while I lube your tight little ass.”

Her bottom clenched, the awareness making it tingle. “It’s been so long.”

Dillon touched his lips to her ear, taking her hand in his and placing it on Ryder’s chest. “Hold on to Ryder.” He lifted her upper leg and eased it onto Ryder’s thigh.

Her bottom clenched again, her arousal sharpening with a speed that left her breathless.

Cupping the back of her head, Ryder began a series of soft, slow kisses that made her head spin while running his hand down her body to her thigh, keeping it propped over his.

Despite the tenderness in his kisses, the erotic intent couldn’t be denied, each brush of his lips and tongue over hers drawing her deeper into his erotic web.

The snap of a cap being closed broke through the sensual fog surrounding her, sending sharp sensation to her puckered opening.

Ryder tightened his hold when she jolted, tightening his grip. “Ready to be lubed up for your surprise?”

Sucking in a breath at the feel of Dillon’s lubed finger slipping into her bottom, Alison gripped Ryder tighter with a moan. “Oh God!”

Her muscles clenched on his finger, the sensation an intimacy that never failed to overwhelm her.

The feel of his warm lips on her shoulder drew another moan from her. “Dillon. What surprise? Are you getting kinky again?”

“Yeah, baby. Now for your little surprise.”

She moaned when he withdrew his finger, sucking in another breath when something hard and cool pressed insistently against her puckered opening. “Oh God! A butt plug.”

She knew how devious her husbands could be when it came to playing with her ass, the remembered pleasure spiking her arousal.

Dillon pushed the plug past the tight ring of muscle and into her, his lips against her ear. “Just a little one.”

He eased her to her back, the movement shifting the plug inside her. Smiling at her soft cry, he slid a hand over her abdomen to her mound, using his fingers to part her folds and caress her clit. “Just enough to wake that tight bottom up.”

Rising above her, he used his knees to push hers wide. “I’m gonna wake it up a little more.”

She felt his fingers against her bottom just seconds before a decadent buzzing began inside her.

Crying out, she reached for him, lifting her legs to wrap them around his waist, another cry escaping when he pushed the head of his cock into her. “Dillon!”

“Fuck!” Dillon braced a hand on either side of her and began to thrust into her. The friction of his shallow thrusts against the sensitive spot inside her combined with the vibrations quickly sending her senses into a tailspin.

Chuckling, Ryder cupped one breast while lowering his mouth to the other. “Thought you both might like that. Can’t wait to try it myself.”
