Chapter Twelve
Katriona
It’s crazy that I want to make him promise all those things and more. This is all wrong and so right on so many different levels. It’s insane. I want to know what it’s like to belong to these powerful men. To be their queen
I’m suddenly filled with an unsettling wave of shame. They’re supposed to be the bad guy, the monsters everyone fears. And here I am wanting them to pleasure my body past anything I’ve ever felt before. What kind of person does that make me?
A horny one, for damn sure. But am I just as bad as my father?
I chance a look into Sy’s eyes as he works my foot between his powerful hands. He’s like a vortex and I’ve been sucked in. His firm hands are divine, and I know I’m going to love them on the rest of my body.
I’m drawn to him not only because he’s gorgeous with his perfect jawline and dark, haunted eyes and rough smoky voice, but because of how he makes me feel.
The material of his shirt pulls across his broad shoulders and he’s rolled the cuffs up to reveal thick forearms that flex with each movement. Those tatts are doing another round on my self-control, too. With each stroke of his thumbs across my arch, I feel myself relaxing.
Power swirls around them like a force of protection and something to fear all at once. It’s so thick it fills this room and makes the hair on my arms rise from the currents rushing through the ample space.
Drake perches on the end of the couch and rests my foot on his chest. He runs a hand up the inside of my leg, never taking his eyes off my body. “You will never fear us.As long as you are in our arms, in our bed, in our home you will never have reason to question this.” He’s not looking at me but at Grey sliding from his chair to settle between my legs.
His hands scrunch the hem of my uniform over my hips, exposing my thighs to his warm kisses and curious tongue. “We are not the monsters you may think we are.” His dark head of hair dips and those lips of his skim over the band of my panties. “But we will protect what is ours.” He stills over my clit still covered in cotton, the hot air of his breath like a caress and I’m about to scream from needing his mouth on me there if he doesn’t hurry up.
“And Katriona. In case you don’t know it. That means you.” He raises his gaze, and I’m shocked by the intensity that I see. “Now and forever. To love, to keep close and to protect.”
Love?
His voice climbs, and my heart starts pounding hard and fast with every word he growls. “You’ll never lack again. This we promise.”
I love how each of them speaks for the others. I want friends like that and something tells me I’ll have that with them. Grey leans in and strokes the tip of his tongue over the plumpness of my bottom lips before slipping a hand behind my head and pulling me within an inch of his lips. He presses his forehead against mine. “But I can’t have you looking at me like you can’t trust me. Can’t trust us. You either give us all of you or nothing at all. We don’t take unless we take fully.”
The shame I felt only moments ago ghosts me, morphing into a fear that they will reject me and return me to the shell of a life I’ve been kidding myself with. Because without them I know my life will be meaningless.
“How is it possible I want you so much that it scares me? That’s the real fear I have. I can’t trust my feelings because I can’t wrap my brain around the idea that I feel connected to three men in a way that is beyond my understanding.”
Drake and Sy release my feet, instinctively knowing what I want. It’s the only way I can fathom them knowing I need to be in Grey’s arms right now. They help me slip to the floor. The front of my legs press against his and he takes my lips in a warm kiss. He drives his fingers into my hair with a tight hold, and I fall under his power instantly.
I moan and swallow his growl, teasing his tongue with mine. I taste the soft, warm confines of his mouth. I don’t have to tell my body to relax. I melt into his arms, the contours of his bulging muscles and nip at his lower lip, pulling back enough to see the fire ignite in those dark eyes of his.
“I want to be yours. All of yours.” I make sure to pull Sy and Drake in close. “If you’ll have me,” I say against his mouth, feeling his friend’s warmth wrap around me on all sides.
He smiles and I see the man from the night he took a bullet for me. I yelp, laughing softly when he pulls me to my feet and scoops me into his arms. Strong hands grip my ass, working the flesh with delicious squeezes.
His lips claim mine.
Pleasure explodes in me, and I’m lost in his addictive taste once again.
“Turn around,” he mutters against my lips, and it’s then that I realize we’re across the room standing in front of the windows.
“Put your hands on the glass for us.”
I do as Grey gruffly orders. The hiss of the zipper to my uniform hits my ears, and I tremble as he lowers it an inch at a time. He peels the harsh material forward and leaves me bare to the morning light, my uniform a melted puddle of sunlight at my feet.
I hear all three inhale harshly and turn to look over my shoulder to see a hunger in their eyes I’ve never seen before.
“We’ve waited a long time to have you. We’re going to have a taste, make you come—”
“And then?” I ask breathlessly, cutting in.
Drake smiles wolfishly. “And then whatever the fuck we want. Once we have our cocks and tongue covered with your juices there will be no going back.”
