STORY EXCERPT

“You look tired,” Cherise said to Ivy as she sat next to her at registration for the competition and fundraiser.

“I’m fine,” she said and pulled her sweater a little tighter around her.

It was warm out and a sunny spring day. Summer was approaching quickly, and Cherise wore a pair of jeans and a sleeveless blouse. The top dipped kind of low, but it was tight against her very large breasts. She wasn’t a petite woman by any means. She was five feet, six inches tall and a size ten. She had hips, an ass, a narrow waist, and firm thighs, and was actually big boned, so she was careful about her weight. “All woman,” like most men described her. She had made sure her makeup was perfect, not that she applied much. Her hazel eyes glowed, and when enhanced with mascara, they really stood out, so that was all she wore as far as makeup, and of course lip gloss. The necklace she had on today was a tiny red heart in rubies that sat right at her cleavage.

“Hey, sweetie. How are you feeling?” Johnny asked as he placed his hand on Ivy’s shoulder. She smiled up at him as Cherise checked in a few stragglers who were just making it in time to register. The first event was starting in ten minutes.

“I’m okay, Johnny,” she said to him. He checked Ivy’s forehead and clenched her chin between his fingers and looked at her complexion.

“You’re tired,” he said, and she gave a soft smile.

“We just signed in the last registration, so we’re done here. Why don’t you go rest by the setup near the fields where you can watch Bronc and Angus competing? I can bring all the forms to Landon, since you entered everything into the computer,” Cherise said to her and Johnny.

“Sounds like a good idea. We can get you something to eat. I think Keller packed a bunch of things for you,” Johnny told her with compassion and care in his eyes.

Ivy was so lucky to have them in her life, and Johnny and his brothers adored Ivy, loved her with all their hearts. Cherise prayed that it lasted. She hated always thinking the negative thoughts about men and relationships, but her heart had never really mended, and it didn’t help that Eagen and Ben still reached out to her when they were returning from active duty. She gulped.

“I’m okay, Johnny.”

“You need to rest, and we set up a nice spot where you can do that.”

She looked so tired. Cherise was concerned. “Go with your men, Ivy. You did more than enough. Now enjoy watching,” Cherise said to her.

“Thanks, Cherise. You’ll come over there, too, right? I think Faith, Candice, and Leeann are going, too.”

“You bet.”

They stood up and Ivy teetered a little bit as Kenny approached. Johnny held onto her. “I’m okay. I guess I am kind of tired.”

“You need to rest,” Johnny scolded her and looked upset.

Kenny narrowed his eyes. “Your ass is staying put at the setup your men made for you by the main events. You can see Angus and Bronc clearly from there, and can also rest up,” Kenny reprimanded her.

“I’m okay,” Ivy whispered.

“You will be once I get some food and water into you. You need to eat and you haven’t since this morning,” Johnny reminded her.

“We were busy,” she replied.

“We’re done now. Go ahead and eat. I’ll bring the stuff to Landon and then join you,” Cherise told her, and Ivy smiled, leaning into Johnny, and they slowly walked away.

Cherise felt the tears in her eyes and then the hand on her waist as Kenny pressed closer. It was so hard to try to get the images out of her head from the night Ivy had been shot. Cherise was right next to where Madison stood. Landon tackled her to the ground to protect her as Rome and Eric, as well as others, jumped the tables and subdued Madison to the ground. She shivered.

“She’s stubborn,” Kenny said to her, and she glanced up over her shoulder at him. He squinted, obviously seeing the tears in her eyes. He squeezed her tighter, his body pressed against hers. “She’s okay. She’s tough and made it through it. It’s only been four weeks, and a gunshot wound like what she had takes time to heal. Her body was traumatized, never mind her emotions.”

“I know. I understand that,” she said and looked away. She started to pull forward and felt his hand glide along her ass. She turned to look up at him.

He stared into her eyes, and then along her breasts. “You look beautiful today,” he told her.

She gave a little smile and turned away. “Thank you,” she said, not facing him. It was so hard to be attracted to this man and his brothers and to know nothing could come of it. They were all wrong for her. All men thus far were. It would be like a repeat of her relationship with Case, Eagen, and Ben. A dead-end road to a broken heart that never really mended, and perhaps, never would.

ADULT EXCERPT

She leaned back on the couch next to Eric, who pulled her against his side. They were all silent.

“We’re older, more seasoned men. We’re right here in Cherry Hill, ready to commit to you, to learn more about you and to see where this attraction leads us. Are you willing to take that chance with us, Cherise?” Landon asked her.

“I showed up tonight, didn’t I?” she said.

“I want a concrete answer,” Kenny stated.

He was so fierce. They all were, and having them all here surrounding her made it difficult to try to push them away when she knew she didn’t want that.

“Yes, Kenny.”

He stood in front of her. “Come here,” he said.

It was like a test to see if she was serious, and also totally how each of these men were. Commanding, disciplinary, in charge, and she didn’t mind at all. She was shaking, she was so turned on by them. She had kicked off her heeled sandals, and she stood up, tilting her head way back to hold his gaze. Kenny was six feet three, with dark crew cut hair, bold, deep green eyes, and nearly forty years old. He cupped her cheek with one hand and placed his other hand on her hip. “Do you trust us?” he asked.

“Yes.”

“Do you believe that we will put you first, care for you, and protect you?” he asked.

She swallowed hard. “I want to believe you would all do that. That you wouldn’t hurt me or break my heart.”

Tears filled her eyes.

“You need to let down that wall you’ve built up and start to let us in. Slowly if need be, but never deny what you feel for us, and we will never deny what we feel for you.” He lowered his mouth to hers slowly, and when their lips touched, she closed her eyes, and she let go.

When Eric joined in, pressed against her back, and began to undo her skirt and push it down, she tightened up and gripped onto Kenny.

“Let them explore you. Let us all explore what is going to be ours very soon. We won’t go too far if you’re not ready, but you need to let us in,” Landon said.

She felt him and Rome on either side of her. They used their hands to stroke her bare thighs. Her skirt fell to the rug. She felt their palms slide up under her top and cupped her large breasts, and she moaned into Kenny’s mouth. He plunged his tongue deeper, while Eric suckled against her neck, hitting a sensitive spot. Eric pushed down her panties, wedged his thigh between her legs, then fingered her cunt from behind. Fire. She was instantly on fire.

Kenny released her lips and started to lift her top up.

“You’re so damn beautiful and sexy, Cherise. You’re all woman, made for men as big and as needy as we are,” Landon told her and kissed her tenderly.

When he released them, Kenny lifted up her top as Rome unclipped her bra. She held it against her chest as Eric stroked her pussy and coaxed her back lower.

“We belong to you too,” Rome said to her. She glanced at him and moaned as Eric increased those thrusts.

“Let go,” Rome said and nodded toward her bra. She reacted. She came and dropped her bra, and he inhaled. “Jesus, woman,” he said and lowered to his knees. He cupped her breast, and she grabbed onto Kenny’s shoulder and rocked her hips.

“Explore me too,” Kenny said, and she reached for his pants, undid the zipper, and it was on.

She wanted this. Wanted more of them. She pushed his pants down with his assistance. Rome suckled on her tit as she licked Kenny’s cock and Eric stroked her pussy. She felt the wet digit slide back and forth over her asshole.

“Nice tight little bud. A perfectly round ass to hold on to while I fuck you from behind. All while you’re sucking on one of my brother’s cocks, as another brother is filling up this wet, needy pussy,” Landon told her, and she moaned against Kenny’s cock.

“Fuck,” Eric said, and he lowered down and licked where he thrust his fingers. He pulled his fingers from her pussy and licked her cunt. He kept alternating tongue and fingers, and she came again.

Landon teased her asshole and pressed a digit into her. She grunted.

“She is made for us. Goddamn. Let me, Eric,” Rome said, and then used his fingers to slide into her pussy.

“I’m there, baby. Swallow me,” Kenny commanded, and he gripped her hair and head, thrust into her mouth, and came.

“The bedroom. Now,” Rome said, and he lifted her up into his arms and carried her as if she were light as a feather. He maneuvered her to the bed, spread her thighs, and immediately began to eat at her pussy. He was relentless, and she shook and came and wiggled and turned her head side to side.

“Rome! Oh God, please, Rome,” she cried out.

He moved his mouth, pulled her ass and cunt to the edge of the bed, and fingered her pussy as he held her gaze. “I can’t wait to make you my woman. To slide my thick, hard cock into this wet pussy and make you mine,” he said and then lowered down, licked her pussy and asshole, and then slid a finger into her asshole.

He stroked her, and she felt that deep, tight sensation before she cried out and came. Eric held her hands above her head on one side, and Landon was on the other side. They feasted on her breasts. It was too much.

“Rome!” she screamed.
