Anya looked up at the sound of Daniel’s voice and edged closer to Desmond. All the remaining patrons now surrounded the bar too, shoulder-to-shoulder support for one of their own.“You ever do any bull riding?” Damon called over the radio, a smile in place more for her benefit than anything else, she bet.“A time or two. Might have been half-drunk on some moonshine at the time, but yeah. Let’s do this.”“You can have some moonshine if you get your ass back here in one piece, you hear me, bro?”“Gonna need it from the sound of it. This will hurt like a bitch, won’t it?”“If Desmond can handle it, you can.”That was Damon.The TV station crew glued their cameras on the chopper, and she looked on as Damon was prepared to rappel again at a moment’s notice.“Fuck. Hey, Desmond, man, turn the TV off in case this shit goes sideways.”If they did what she thought they were talking about, the maneuver meant to save Daniel’s life could smash him against the rocks instead. She didn’t need to be
Anya smiled, nodding as she worked through the few details he shared. Did the rest of the Castillo bunch know? She’s never heard anyone talk about having another father. Millions of questions paraded through her mind, and all of them had to do with how he’d survived such pain. But asking them? She couldn’t without feeling guilty.“Mama and I continued on, had the family we talked about before the accident left us both dealing with the loss of the other half of our heart. We found strength in each other and pushed on.”Traces of pain lingered in his voice and he said volumes more than what he actually shared. She recognized the sound of that pain and knew the damage it caused and the remains left behind.Damon’s mother was a quiet woman, always quick with a smile, but ready with a firm hand when it came to her boys. She imagined raising men with a stubborn streak the size of Benguet mountains wasn’t an easy undertaking.High beams from a cherry red Ford truck reflected off the front wi
He didn’t waste any time working her as close to him as possible. His mind was nowhere near today’s incident from the way he leaned back and propped a foot on the fender of his truck, his expression calm. Delicious pressure hit her center.“We need to fix the clothes issue,” he growled low for her ears only.“I agree, but not here.”She inhaled deeply at the carnal promises his tone carried.She wanted to fight her attraction but, hey, one more night with the inked, muscled badass cocky mountain men wouldn’t do any harm.Damon came to stand behind her and glided a hand up her bare arm, over her shoulder until he had her braid in hand. Tugging her to face him, her lips parted for the slow glide of his lips across hers.Daniel cupped a hand around the back of her head, holding her steady for Damon to devour her mouth. Between her thighs, Daniel’s cock grew thicker and she swore the heat of his desire burned through the layers of clothing. Beneath his cotton shirt, taut muscles rippled u
She couldn’t afford to let thoughts like that cross her mind. “Everyone whipped up one hell of a dinner for you. Potatoes, roast beef, garlic bread and enough apple pie to feed half of Benguet. According to Ethan, it would be just enough for this crew.”“Sounds about right.”Damon kissed the top of her head gently as Daniel eased her to the ground, keeping an arm around her.Damn if her heart didn’t bleed. She wouldn’t be surprised if she looked down to see it beating on the long sleeve of her shirt right then. Just how many times would she fall for Daniel’s quiet voice and Damon’s lingering touches?Every damn time and you know it.Headlights from an old Chevy broke through the pale evening light, and she turned to see a tight face and angered eyes peering out over the steering wheel.Oh, hell. Of course, he would show up.Daniel stiffened beside her and Damon slid a hand into her back pocket, drawing her closer to him.“He’s just here because he’s worried about Daniel,” he reassured
Damon crossed the dimly lit street and let himself into Castillo Fire and took the back stairs two at a time. He pulled a key from his pocket and a few seconds later they both stood inside Anya Mancini’s apartment. The delicate scent of lavender filled his nostrils as the rusty, old hinges creaked. He had meant to take care of that last week for her, but work kept them tied up from sunup to sundown with little time for much else.That would change.Soft light poured in from the front windows—the frilly white things she had pulled over the large panes did nothing for privacy. A single beam of sunlight caught on the glittery texture of something off to the side of the door.Daniel tossed his heavyweight into one of the chairs situated between him and Anya.“Fuck, man. Denton was right when he called. If this doesn’t work, she’s gone.”“He can’t put off taking her where she wants to go,” Damon confirmed, grimly.Suitcase after suitcase lined the worn wooden floor by the door and told the
“What’s wrong? Is someone hurt? Why aren’t you guys talking to me?”Rolling to a quick stop, Damon brought her gaze around to his. “Look at me, baby. Trust us.”She stared up at him with her beautiful wide eyes before she turned to Daniel, lips parted. He looked at her and ignored the questions burning behind her beautiful lashes. Bright blue shifted until her pupils nearly swallowed the last shaft of color. “I... I can’t.”Her face flushed with a red so deep it looked scarlet. A growl unfurled up the back of his throat as she dropped her eyes and moved to lower her legs.Yeah. Nope. Not going to happen. The second her pinky toe hit the floor, she wouldn’t stop running. He knew it like he knew there was no other way to get through her stubbornness other than sticking to their plan.He sighed. “Sorry, baby. Didn’t mean for that to sound like a question. My bad.”Her eyes widened.“No going back now.” He winked at her and smiled when she mumbled under her breath.“You can take your high
“I should be mad at both of you for your macho bull crap.” She pulled up short of them, just out of their reach. The last time she hesitated, he understood. But out here, no prying eyes. He would have to stop her from robbing them of her delicious heat.Anger tinted her cheeks a pretty pink and reached into her eyes until they shone like sapphire jewels. Rosy lips pursed in contemplation. Damon fought the grin that worked his lips into a smile.Every cell in his body told him to push her patience and get her riled up enough to tell them why she thought leaving without saying goodbye was a good idea. Fuck that. Why she thought she would be leaving in the first place?But logic pulled back his tendencies and slowed him to a walk. He’d get his answers later when she was weak and pinned between him and Daniel.“I should have known you two would be up to something. Mama said as much and Remy warned me to bolt my door the second she got off the phone with Denton.”“Why didn’t you?”Anya too
Swirling water licked at her toes then quickly swallowed her up to the neck as he lifted her to straddle his waist and glided out to the middle of the inlet. She tightened her hold around his neck.“Easy, baby.” Suddenly his voice went darker, smoother. “I’ve got you. I’ve always got you.” Strong arms held her steady as she took in the rush of cool water over her heated skin.She nailed Damon in the chest. “But who has you? Because you’re earning a good ass-kicking, Castillo.”A low chuckle tickled her ears. “Might want to take it easy on the Tarzan act, buddy.” Daniel lifted her from Damon’s grip and glided them both out until the water hit his chin.“Now that I have you alone, tell me what’s scaring you?” She didn’t believe for a second Damon couldn’t hear them from where he now stood on the bank spreading out the blanket for them and situating towels for easy access. They had a plan and she walked into it blindly.A lump formed in her throat. Daniel always had a way of opening the
She nodded to Damon, ready for anything they wanted.Damon worked the engorged head of his cock against her as Daniel sank her fully over him. And then Damon was pushing inside her. Filling the tight little cunt with his massive, cum soaked cock and making her breathe so heavily stars danced in her eyes.The girth of his shaft felt different to Daniel’s, yet just as filling. Stretched over two massive cocks she began to rock her hips, needing to fill them both and move inside her.Damon pulled out and drove back in as Daniel did the opposite, setting a rhythm. Damon claimed her pussy with every stroke and when he pulled out this time her channel clenched around his shaft, eager for the orgasm they teased from her.A low, strangled cry dragged Damon’s attention to her mouth. He devoured her lips and her moans. Took control and she passed it over.She buried her hands in his hair. “Not yet, baby, not yet hold that climax. We’ll tell you when you’ll give it to us.” His ragged order serve
“Here’s your chance to run, Anya.” Damon rested his large hands on her ankles and his gaze on hers. Long wisps of hair played at his temples lending a dark, dangerous vibe to the man she loved.Her heart rate spiked.Run?Daniel growled long and low and the vibrations fed into her soul.“Anya,” he whispered.Her breath caught at the intense look in his eye.Did she dare? Three steps past the threshold they would have her pinned in their arms and making sure she knew she wasn’t getting away. No way she’d make it back to Manila, that was for damn sure.Hot molten stares followed her every move as she uncurled her legs from Damon’s touch and glided to her feet. Her leg felt better, stiff, but not enough to keep her from walking.As predicted, she managed three steps before her fingers entwined with hers. Gentle but firm. Warm lips caught her knuckles pulling a heavy sigh from her lips. From beneath hooded eyes, she watched Daniel sidle up to her and wrap an arm around her middle as Damon
An hour and a pile of papers the size of a small cat later, Damon slipped the key in and stepped aside as Daniel carried her up the back stairs.“You know I could have walked, right?”“Where’s the fun in that,” he scoffed. “Besides, I have to get practice in for when we put a ring on that beautiful hand of yours.”She laughed. “So who’s name did I get to carry?” She knew for a fact she couldn’t marry them both.Damon kissed her forehead as he held the door open for them. Her smile widened and her heart swelled with so much love. Love for both of them and she still couldn’t wrap her mind around the fact she had a tiny, innocent baby inside her. She splayed her hand over her stomach.Daniel pressed his lips close to her ear. “You’re going to look gorgeous when you’re plump with our baby.”She smiled. “I guess this is going to be home for a little while yet.”“If that’s okay with you? We can look for a bigger place once you can move around without any leftover pain.”Staying here couldn’
Damon’s dark head tilted, his mouth turning up into a wide grin. “Which is another topic we’ll need to discuss. I’m going to miss the quiet time we had up at the cabin. Just the three of us.” He raised her hand to his mouth and kissed the tips of each of her fingers. “We had planned on fucking you long and hard by the waterfall.”Daniel turned from the window. “Which we did.”Wow. What was it about these two men that left her breathless? She smiled at them both. “I remember.”“Then we’d planned on tying you up to our bed and covering every part of your body in our milk.”“Tits, ass, and pussy. You would have been dripping with our cums.”Her mouth fell open a little. Wow. Her body thrummed with an instant rush of need.“Mr. Castillo. Mr. Santillan. Be glad that part of your ‘plan’ failed or your day would have turned out completely different.” They all turned to the door and the newcomer to the room and Anya wanted to melt into the floor. Red. Her face, neck, and every other part of h
She pushed out of Daniel’s arms and stood then regretted it immediately as she fell forward. Rupert, moved to steady her, looking pointedly at her leg where the fire had left a small burn and her head where blood trickled down from her temple.“You’re men are lucky to have such a determined, loyal woman by their side.”Water welled behind her lashes. “Thank you for being here today. I don’t know how you knew, but I’m glad you arrived when you did. I’m not sure Daniel would have held back much longer.”“John and Rene called. Don’t shed any tears for that old man. He is a horrible person as I am sure your men will tell you if you haven’t already seen it for yourself.”She nodded.The fire of anger and pain that ate at her ebbed. “You’re right.”Daniel and Damon stood to either side, their body heats a balm to her nerves.She wobbled forward as her men supported her on either side. She reached for Rupert’s hand, holding his gaze. She turned to look at Damon and Daniel. “I think I can spe
Water blasted from the tip of her hose and she started watering down the dry grass. Damon did the same beside her while Daniel started digging a huge fire line through the grass. Given the strength of the wind, she didn’t hold out much hope but it was something.Dry grass crunched underfoot and cinders scattered through the weeds, causing small pockets of fire to spread along the empty field. She caught as many as she could but the fire was jumping.They worked together moving as a team trying to save as much of the property as possible. Over the ledge of small hills, a blur of dust kicked up about a mile out.“Oh thank God! Look! The cavalry is here.”John and Rene pulled up in a rolling tumble of dirt, their red rig a beautiful sight. Another one pulled up beside them filled with water from the looks of it.Smoke boiled low across the field like a thick fog and burned her lungs but still, her heart soared and she smiled.“Where’s Damon?” Daniel called out coming in from the field, e
“Who knows, maybe Rupert has a hand in this. Maybe he decided he didn’t like going against the grain after all.”They bounced along the back road, Daniel finding every damn pothole there was in the dirt road and slamming into it. If they made it to the house without breaking an axle it would be a miracle.She couldn’t say she knew any of the men they spoke about personally. The class had kept her busy during the days, and then waiting tables in the afternoon for extra cash only left her with the time she spent with her men. Damon threw an arm out in front of her when Daniel took a dip in the road too fast.“You remember what Ethan and Remy said, Daniel. We heard it too. Rupert is looking for allies, not enemies. Looking to clean up his family name.”“How the hell can you be so sure? Can you trust him?”“Daniel’s right, Anya. We can’t measure a man by his family’s bad deeds. He has to earn his reputation on his own merits. So far, he’s done nothing to us but help when we needed him.”D
Damon reached around and rubbed her clit with soft, gentle strokes as they both stretched her tight channel around their thick girths. She gasped, muscles shaking. The feeling of being stretched beyond anything she had ever felt before consumed all her senses. Her walls clenched, making both men groan. The deeper they sank the tighter the fit until she could feel their every pulse, every throb of need in their cocks.A pinch of pain followed the burn of the pressure as they stretched her hot, greedy pussy.She panted, and every muscle in her body shook. She clawed at Daniel’s shoulders. The pressure. it was too much.The burn. Fire tore through her, so delicious and torturous. A pain she wanted but never thought possible.She splayed her hands over Daniel’s broad chest and his heartbeat hammered against her palms.“Breathe, baby. If it’s too much, tell us and we’ll stop.”She nodded to Daniel’s words. “No,” she gasped. “No.” She pressed back. Slowly. Wanting them to fill her, stretch
Her lips parted and she moaned around his thickness as Daniel buried his dick in her mouth until he tapped the back of her throat.“Breath in, baby, I want to feel that throat on the tip of my cock every time I sink in.”She gagged around him and pushed him deeper, tears watering her eyes.He pulled out giving her time to catch her breath then did it all over again, this time she took him deeper for longer.“You’re fucking perfect, baby,” he whispered, cleaning her face of the few drops of tears that had spilled down her cheeks.Leaning in she gathered his balls in her hands and sucked each of them into her mouth gently while working his length from base to tip.“Fuck, that’s it. Grip his cock harder, work him faster.”Behind her, Damon delivered a series of sharp smacks one after another until her whole body tingled and hummed with a wave of pleasure she’d never known before. She cried out around her mouth full of Daniel’s balls letting them slip from her mouth on a whimper.She coul
