STORY EXCERPT

Angus couldn’t take his eyes off of Ivy. His best friend’s kid sister, and he was attracted to her. Hell, his brothers were, too, but didn’t want to face it or consider her an option. They knew once they made a move it would be permanent, and she was young. Absolutely stunning with bold baby blue eyes, thick eyelashes, and long blonde hair. She was sweet, soft-spoken, and was exceptional at martial arts. His brother Johnny, the local doctor in town, liked her too but was concerned about staking a claim to a woman so young. So they held back. Angus didn’t want to. He feared that the longer they waited, the greater a chance some other men would come along and sweep her off her feet.

“I’ve been busy this week. I took on giving some guitar lessons to Mrs. Garrison’s sons and they’re a handful. She had to rearrange the schedule this week because of pre-season training for baseball,” she told him.

“I expect you there tomorrow morning,” he told her firmly. Her gorgeous face flushed and then she swallowed hard.

“I thought you were going to give up teaching guitar,” Kenny asked her. She looked upset about his comment.

“Why would I give it up when I love it?” she said to her brother.

“She’s so good at singing too. We’ve been trying to get her to get up on stage when we go to a concert and they pick people out of the audience,” Leanne said to Kenny.

“Oh yeah, but she shyly pulls back,” Candice added.

“That isn’t a smart idea. You know the guys in those bands are just looking for some naive young woman to be starstruck so they can get you backstage and make some moves. Promise you they got the connections to turn you into a star,” Kenny said to her.

“That isn’t true,” Ivy replied.

Her brothers looked at her.

“You’re too sweet and nice, and never expect the worse in people. That’s why you need watching over,” Landon added abruptly.

“Whatever.” She walked past him and then called over her shoulder. “Anyone need more sweet tea?” she asked.

“Sure,” Faith called out and the ladies were all giving Ivy’s brothers dirty looks.

Angus followed her into the kitchen along with his brother, Bronc. Bronc took a seat at the island.

“Don’t mind your brothers, you know they only have the best in mind for you,” Angus said to her as he eyed over her body in her skin tight blue jeans that hung low on her waist. She wore tennis sneakers in white and a midriff blue shirt that showed how perfect her abs were and how well-endowed she was for a woman who was all of about five feet four. She was also sporting a sexy belly ring and a trail of bright bold, tiny blue flowers in a tattoo that went pretty low from what her brothers said. They sure were pissed off about the tattoo. Angus and his brothers were more aroused by it and how low it dipped.

“I’m not. I ignore them,” she replied as she prepared some more sweet tea for her friends.

“Well, I wouldn’t exactly ignore them. They give great advice, being older and all,” Bronc added.

She turned around to look at them and he saw that fire in her eyes that was all Ivy. The woman didn’t know what she did to him and his brothers. How they wanted her, lusted over her. She had a body made for sin, that drew attention immediately, and a face like an angel.

“They don’t understand. They had their careers in the military and now in the martial arts MMA place you all own and operate together.”

“You work there too in between Harper’s.”

“That isn’t going to be my life, Angus,” she retorted and then turned around and finished what she was doing. Bronc stood up and walked closer. She turned to look way up at him, the sight bringing on waves of possessiveness and protectiveness Angus couldn’t explain.

He reached down and caressed her hair. “You’re young.”

“Jesus H. Christ,” she blurted out and shook her head and began to walk away but Bronc grabbed her upper arm. She paused, stared up at him.

Bronc held her gaze. “Settle down with that temper you got. We aren’t the enemy. We care.”

“I’ve got four older brothers. I sure as hell don’t need four more ganging up on me. No need to ruin the day.” He released her arm and she grabbed the pitcher of sweet tea. “If you want some, just grab two more glasses,” she said and walked out of the kitchen.

Bronc locked gazes with Angus. No words needed to be said. His brother was feeling that same attraction, and at times like this when she compared them to her brothers, instead of men she could accept as lovers, he felt like tossing her over his knee and spanking that sexy little ass of hers. He ran his fingers through his hair and shook his head.

“Don’t even think about it,” Angus said and then he walked back onto the patio. Bronc seemed surprised, and then he chuckled. So his brother was on the same wavelength as him. If Ivy was their woman, she would be over their knees more often than not. That sweet little angel had a tongue of fire that made his hand itch.

ADULT EXCERPT

“Why is she texting you?” Johnny asked as he looked at her cell phone while they were eating lunch. He and his brothers had prepared some grilled chicken, potato salad and regular salad. They were finishing up and Ivy was helping Keller with the dishes.

She turned to look at him as he held her cell phone in his hand. She walked over to him. “She thinks I need a wardrobe for the performances and wants to pick out something special for Thursday night. It isn’t a big deal.”

“It is a big deal. I don’t want her near you,” he said, raising his voice.

She took her phone from his hand and placed it down onto the table. She stepped between his legs, held his gaze as she placed her hands on his shoulders. “I’m not scared of her.”

“I’m not saying that you are. She’s a manipulative bitch. She’s jealous of you because you’re our woman.”

“Screw her. I don’t care about that. I care about you and your brothers. Besides, the only reason why I’m even meeting her is because we’re supposed to meet with Mike, Jacoby, and a few other guys from Black Jack to go over some stuff and to get to know one another. It won’t be a big deal.” She cupped his cheek and he ran his palms up under her skirt.

“It is a big deal. When were you going to tell us about this meeting and day of shopping?” Keller asked, wiping his hands on the dishtowel before he threw it down.

“I’d like to know that, too,” Johnny scolded. He was feeling insecure and he didn’t like it. He sure didn’t like some woman he fucked hanging around the woman he planned on claiming guardianship of and sharing with his brothers. He squeezed her ass. Stroked the crack where her thin, sexy thong panties were. He gripped the material.

Her lips parted. “Johnny.”

He clenched his teeth, felt an overwhelming sensation of protectiveness over her. “I don’t want you hanging out with her.”

“I’m not hanging out with her. It’s for a little while as we shop then we go to Black Jack. I already asked Leeann, Cherise, and Faith to come along and meet me there.”

“Yet you didn’t tell us,” Angus chimed in.

“What gives?” Bronc asked.

She closed her eyes and exhaled.

“I knew you were going to be upset. You’re all working late that day. It will be fine and there isn’t anything to worry about,” she told them.

“And Jake and Crespy? Will those dicks be there?” Angus asked.

“I don’t know. This has nothing to do with them.”

“You think it doesn’t? They want you, despite knowing we’re involved with you,” Keller barked.

“He’s right. They want you. We saw that last night,” Johnny said to her.

She stared at him. “And Madison still wants you, and she’d like nothing more than to screw your brothers too. None of that matters. I want you and your brothers, Johnny. You all want me. No one else needs to matter,” she said to him

He slid his palm up under her hair and drew her lower so he could kiss her. When she climbed up onto his lap and began to rock against him, his heart raced and he knew he wanted all of her, now, today. He eased up from the chair. She was light as a feather. As she slid her mouth from his lips to his neck he stroked her pussy and walked her out of the room. She didn’t stop him from bringing her to the bedroom upstairs. He lowered her to the bed and pressed over her, fingers thrusting into her cunt.

“Oh, Johnny.”

“Baby, we need you. Tell me you’re ready. Tell us you want to make love to us and get claimed by us,” he said to her. She looked at his brothers, who all gathered around the room.

“Oh God, yes. I’m more than ready. I want to be yours, fully, so you know that it’s only you I want.”

“It’s only you we want,” Johnny told her. He pulled his fingers from her cunt and then stood up. He pulled off his shirt and started to undo his pants. She stared at him, her eyes widened as he stood naked in front of her. He offered her his hand and she took it. “Your turn,” he said and reached for the hem of her dress. She reached back, unzipped the dress and let it fall off of her. Angus was on the bed, naked, and unclipping her bra. When the material fell he and his brothers whispered comments in appreciation.

“God damn beautiful,” Bronc said and he stood on one side of Johnny as Keller stood on the other side.

“You’re ours, baby. Do we need condoms?”

“I’m on the pill, but maybe you should,” she said as he gripped her hips and eased her panties off of her. He licked her nipple on one side then kissed along her belly then down to her pussy.

“Why?” Keller asked.

“You’ve been with other women,” she said to him.

“Not in over a year, and we get checked regularly. We’re clean, baby,” Keller told her.

He cupped her cheek and kissed her lips. She moaned into his mouth as Johnny licked her cunt and fingered her. The scent of her body wash, knowing that they would make love to her one after the next then together made him desperate to penetrate her.

“I’m more than ready, and she is too,” he said.

His brothers stepped back. “You let go and give us all of you,” Keller said to her.

She worried her bottom lip and then gasped as Johnny lifted her up by her ass and hips and lowered her to the bed. He pressed his lips to hers, plunged his tongue in exploration and then adjusted his position between her legs. He lifted up, held her gaze. “I’ve waited forever for you,” he said to her.

“Make me yours, Doc. Make me yours,” she said. He smirked at her, gripped his cock, aligned it with her pussy and slowly began to nudge into her. As he thrust all the way in he felt the tiny barrier. He felt emotional, complete as he held his cock in her cunt.
