“I have to! River made it clear that if I don’t, you could be gone.”
“Easy, mate. He’s in police custody now.” Liam calmed Hammer with a pat on the back, then glanced Raine’s way. “That’s what we came to tell you, love.”
“That’s good…I guess.” She looked relieved but sad on her brother’s behalf.
“I’m sorry it came to this,” Liam offered.
“I’m not. He’s getting what he deserves.” Hammer held her close. “Why would you think otherwise?”
“He tried to abduct me, and I know that’s how you see it. But I think he actually believed he was protecting me.”
Liam gave her a skeptical glance. “Or he’s as mad as Bill. But let’s not talk about him now. Come here to me.” Liam cupped the back of Raine’s head and planted a kiss on her waiting lips, lingering to savor her sweetness before he bent to her ear. “Good girl.”
When he pulled back, she gave him a conspiratorial wink.
Hammer still looked torn. “Are you really ready for this? For us?”
“Macen, our wee wench is naked, pregnant, lusciously ripe, and begging to be devoured. I say we feast.” He tossed off his shirt and yanked down his zip.
Hammer still hesitated, studying Raine intently.
She thrust her hands on her hips. “Macen Daniel Hammerman, if you don’t lose the pants and put your cock inside me somewhere in the next two minutes, I’m going to hurt you.”
Liam couldn’t hold back a belly-shaking chuckle as he stepped out of his trousers. “I think she’s made herself clear, mate.”
For a moment, Hammer gaped at her like he didn’t know who she was. Then decision crossed his face and he snapped out of his haze.
“If that’s what you want…” He tore at his shirt. “It’s so fucking on, little girl.”
There was the Hammer they knew and loved. The man needed to stop thinking with his guilt and reconnect with Raine. She yearned for the reassurance of his passion and love. This would be good for them all.
Liam hung back and watched Raine skim her palms up Macen’s chest and curl them around his shoulders, helping him slide the shirt to the floor. “Promise?”
He unfastened his belt, then ripped into his slacks, his zipper a seductive hiss. “That you’ll be satisfied and sore before we’re through with you? Oh, yeah.”
“Exactly,” Liam added.
With a come-hither smile, she leaned back on the island, braced her heels on the edge, and spread her legs. “I can’t wait.”
He turned to Hammer and stroked her thigh. “Our girl can be more than a mite persuasive when she’s a mind to.”
“No shit.” Hammer dropped his pants and lunged between Raine’s legs, naked and more than ready. He teased her opening with the tip of his hard cock. “Be careful what you wish for…”
“Whatever you dish out, I’ll take and happily beg for more.” Her voice had turned throaty.
Liam couldn’t wait anymore. “Fuck her, Macen.”
“My pleasure.” Hammer enveloped her hips in his big hands.
Impatiently, he lifted her, pulling her down onto his cock in one hard stroke. She arched, her head falling back with a gasp, fingers clinging to his meaty biceps. They looked striking together—Hammer so big and dark and rough, Raine so small and fair and lovely.
Clenching his teeth and digging his fingers tighter into Raine, Hammer pivoted her around on the rectangular island to lay her flat on the granite, palming his way to her breast while he thrust deep. “You feel me?”
“Yes.” Her head fell over the edge with a cry.
Restless need burned through Liam’s veins, shooting straight to his cock.
Macen sent him a wolfish stare. “You want to keep that sassy mouth busy?”
“Fuck. Of course I do.”
“Pull her hair. Give her something to scream about.”
Liam thrust his fingers into the dark silk of her mane and tugged just the way she liked it. “Open, wench.”
She eagerly parted her lips, eating him up with her hungry eyes. Liam counted his lucky stars as he guided her head toward his aching cock and slid into her mouth with a guttural groan. Her tongue curled around the crest, teasing his most sensitive spots. The girl had learned him well. Pleasure rolled around his shaft and tore its way up his spine before he shuddered in carnal bliss.
As he glanced down her body, Hammer dragged in and out of her pussy, toying with her clit. Together, they listened to her muffled gasps and whimpers while they watched her writhe and burn between them.
Liam shoved in farther, probing her throat as she worked him over. “Oh, fuck. Love…”
“It’s been too long, precious. God yes. Squeeze me with that little pussy. Hmm… And every time I fuck you harder, you suck him down deeper.”
Hammer slammed into her again. Raine wrapped her sleek legs around him. Liam cradled her head and thrust even farther inside. She keened out. He picked up the pace as he shuttled rhythmically over her tongue in hot, urgent strokes. How the hell was he going to last?
