STORY EXCERPT

Noah grabbed her hand. “Hey, sweetheart. We’ve missed you these last few days.”

She pulled her hand away and tucked it behind her back. She was looking at them like they were navel lint. “I haven’t missed you. Not that I would have seen you all that much anyway. You would have been busy watching sports with your buddies, or playing poker with your buddies, or starting fights with the Baldwins…with your buddies. Just another fun filled day with the McLean boys.”

Noah felt his neck get warm. He felt Riley starting to move, and he grabbed his forearm and pulled him back. Riley and Aubrey got into each other’s faces quicker than any two people he’d ever seen.

“Well, we missed you. Listen, honey, we know we’ve screwed up and we want to make it up to you. No more breaking dates, no more showing up late stinking like a bar, no more starting fights. We mean it. We love you, baby. The forever kind of love. Please give us another chance. You won’t regret it. We promise.”

She crossed her arms over her chest and tapped her toe on the concrete floor. She was clearly pissed as hell. “Forever, huh? That’s what it’s felt like. Forever. Waiting for you two to grow the fuck up. Forever, waiting for you to show up for dates. Fuck, I don’t even take a shower and start getting ready anymore until you show up at the door. That’s how many times you’ve stood me up or been hours late.” She was pointing her finger into his chest now, her eyes narrowed in anger. “Promises.” She almost spat the word. “I’ve heard all of your promises. Nothing will be different. It never is. You never are. I’m going to make something different. I’m going to change. I’ve had enough.”

Her face was red, and she looked ready to cry. Noah’s heart twisted in his chest knowing they were the reason. He felt like ten kinds of shit hurting her the way they had. He didn’t want to hurt her anymore. He was ready to act like a man.

“I know we’ve never given you reason to believe us. We’ve made empty promises before, but this time we’ve changed. We’re ready to become the men you’ve waited for us to be. We know we’ve made you wait and we’re sorry.”

Aubrey turned on her heel, her eyes bright with unshed tears, and started to walk away but Riley caught her arm before she could flee.

“I love you, honey. More than you can possibly imagine. I know I’ve been selfish and hurtful. You’ve got a right to make me pay for that. I’m here to grovel and I’m here to make amends. I’m ready to act like a grown-up. Losing you is not an option. You’re my life, my anchor.”

Aubrey’s eyes were wide, taking in the sincerity of his brother’s declaration. A lone, silvery tear slipped down her creamy cheek, breaking his heart. From the way Riley swallowed hard, Noah knew his brother was shaking in fear it was too late.

Riley dropped her arm. “Do you want me to beg? I will if you want. I’ll get down on my knees right now. You can tie my ass to a spanking bench and take my own crop and beat the ever-loving shit out of me in front of all these people. I love you that much. I’ve been stupid, and I’ve been an ass, but have I been unforgivable?”

Noah gaped at his brother. He’d never seen him so intense, so serious. Aubrey was their cherished submissive, but Riley was a slave for Aubrey’s love. They both needed her like they needed air to breathe. Riley was going the extra mile to make this right with her.

Her full lips trembled. “Just because I may forgive you, doesn’t mean I want to put myself through it all again. I can’t keep doing this with you. We get together, we break up. Someone has to break the cycle.”

Noah caressed her cheek. “We’re breaking it now. We’re done doing stupid shit. We won’t give you any moment’s worry. Please say you’ll give us another chance.”

She brushed away the tears that were falling down her face. “You scramble my brains, both of you. I need to think about this. We need some time apart. Maybe we should see other people for awhile. Just to see if what we have can stand the test of time.”

He and Riley were both shaking their heads. No man was going to touch their woman. Noah pulled her closer to him, letting her scent envelop him and arouse him. She smelled like vanilla and rain, and his dick woke up in his pants and pressed against his zipper. They’d had many issues in their relationship, but sex had never been one. Making love to Aubrey was as close to perfection as anyone could get.

“We’ve already stood more tests than that. We don’t need other women to prove it.” A terrible thought occurred to him. “Is there another guy?”

She looked uncomfortable. “There could be. Just tonight, Tom told me what his basket was going to look like. He’s a nice guy and seems dependable. Unlike you.”

Riley looked ready to spit. “Fuck, no. He’s not touching our sub. If you go near him, I’ll make sure you can’t sit down for a week. Don’t push me, honey.”

It was absolutely the wrong fucking thing to say. Their woman took it as a personal challenge. She gave them a look that would have felled a lesser man, her eyes shooting daggers.

“I’ll do anything I damn well please. In fact, I’m definitely going to bid on his basket tonight. There’s not a damn thing you can do to stop me.”

Before they could stop her, she flounced off, madder than a wet hen. Noah groaned. “Good going. She’s pissed and she’s riled up good. How are we going to stop her from doing something she’s going to regret later?”

Riley grinned and slapped him on the back. “Relax, bro. I’ve got this covered. I know just what we’re going to do. She’s not going to scene with Tom. She’s our sub, our woman. We just need to remind her of it. Follow me.”

Noah followed Riley. “This better be good.”

“It is. I know exactly what to do. She’ll be in our arms by the end of the night.”

ADULT EXCERPT

Riley and Noah quickly stripped her corset, skirt, and thong from her body, leaving her naked to their gaze. Her blood heated as they walked around her, taking in every detail. They liked what they saw.

Noah ran a callused hand over her rib cage, making her tingle and moan. “We’re going to play with your body for awhile. Get you good and hot. Then we’ll move you to the bed for punishment. When we’re done, I don’t think you’ll want to be bratty for a long time.”

A wave of anticipation ran through her, and her pussy leaked honey at the visions that filled her head. Each thought was naughtier than the last, making her painfully aroused and light-headed. It was a relief when they moved closer and started running their hands all over her body, paying special attention to her puckered nipples and the sensitive skin on her inner thighs.

Their mouths and tongues followed, and they covered every inch of her quivering flesh. She was trembling and begging when they gave her a chance to catch her breath.

“Please Masters, please. I need to come.”

Honey was dripping down her thighs, and her nipples were tightened into hard buds.

Noah shook his head. “Not yet. We will show you mercy, however, and stop torturing you with pleasure.”

She took a deep breath. “Thank you, Master Noah.”

“Don’t thank me yet, sub. We’re going to move you to the bed now.”

As quickly as she was chained to the ceiling, they had her free and face down on the bed. Her arms were pulled over her head and clipped to a chain attached to the headboard, while Riley pulled her ankles wide clipping each one to the footboard. She could feel a cool breeze on her cunt and clit, spread wide and vulnerable. Noah tucked a pillow under her hips so her ass was pushed up, inviting their attention.

He stroked the skin slowly before trailing his fingers down the crack of her ass. “First, a spanking to get you in the mood for your punishment. This is not part of your punishment, as you enjoy spankings far too much for them to ever be a deterrent for bad behavior.”

Noah’s palm came down on her ass cheek hard a split second before Riley’s came down on the opposite cheek. Then Noah’s again, then Riley’s. It went on like that until her bottom was on fire and her arousal almost painful.

“Please fuck me, Masters. Please let me come!” Her voice was rough and raw. Riley patted her bottom. “Not yet, sub. I think you’re ready for your punishment.”

Noah slid off the bed and pulled the cloth off of the tray. What she saw made her pussy and ass clench tightly and almost took her breath away. There was a large hand of ginger, a bowl of water, and a bowl of ice. She’d seen this done before but had never experienced it herself. She knew to have a good healthy fear of this punishment. They were one hundred percent correct. She would think twice about her bratty behavior after this.

Noah took a knife from the tray and began carving a long finger from the ginger, then peeling it. He took his time, a small smile playing around his lips, letting her watch from her place on the bed. Her nerves were stretched taut when he finally held it up for her inspection.

“Do you know where this is going to go, sub?”

She swallowed hard. “In my ass, Master Noah.”

He nodded. “It is. This is punishment. Once we’re done here, we’ll fuck you and let you come. That will not be punishment. Are we clear?”

“Yes, Master Noah.”

“Spread her ass cheeks, Riley.”

She felt Riley’s hands on her sore bottom and the pressure against her anus as the ginger was slowly worked inside her. When it was in place, Noah sat back with a smile.

“I’ll wash my hands and we’ll wait.” He stood up and headed to the small sink in the corner, washing his hands, then returning to sit next to Riley. He’d pulled two chairs to the bedside and they both sat there watching her closely.

At first, she didn’t feel anything and let her muscles relax. But soon, the simmering heat in her bottom became a flame and she couldn’t stop herself from pulling at her bonds, moaning, and clenching the ginger firmly embedded in her ass. The clenching only made it worse but she couldn’t stop herself. Her fingers were wrapped around the chain, her knuckles white as she gritted her teeth against what felt like a blow torch in her private parts.

Her body responded to their ministrations as it always did, amping up her arousal until she was rubbing herself against the pillow, trying to send herself over.

The heat ended almost abruptly, her body going limp. Noah stood up and gently removed the ginger from her bottom before reaching for something on the tray. She didn’t have time to protest or beg before an ice cube was pressed into her backside. She almost came off the bed, but the bonds held her firmly. She opened her mouth to scream when a cock was thrust deep in her pussy.

“Ready to come, sub?”

Riley.
