Chapter 7

Melissa

T o my relief, dinner is mostly quiet.

The guys are too tired after a day of hard work in the snow, prepping the livestock for a full winter. I focus on cooking and the cleaning that follows the meal, avoiding eye contact as much as I can. Darla leaves me be, probably because she’s also exhausted from driving back and forth to the doctor in Long Pine.

By midnight, I’m showered and tucked in bed, trying to sleep.

I toss and turn, restless as my own past comes back to haunt me. I mull over the bad decisions that landed me in jail. So many regrets. So many things I cannot take back. The future is straight ahead, yet I keep looking over my shoulder and wondering what I could’ve done differently.

“Dammit, Melissa,” I whisper to myself and turn over, dragging the covers with me.

Then, there’s a knock on the door and I sit up, my heart suddenly racing. A second knock pulls me out of bed and I tiptoe toward the door. My pulse races as I turn the knob and pull the door open. I think my heart stops beating altogether at the sight of Colton, Ethan, and Mitch standing in the doorway, the dim hallway lighting throwing dark shadows across their handsome faces.

“We need to talk,” Colton says.

I stare at him with a mixture of disbelief and confusion. “It’s midnight,” I whisper.

“It can’t wait,” he replies.

Panic is quick to set in. “What’s wrong?”

“There’s nothing wrong,” he says. “We just need to talk.”

“Can we come in?” Ethan asks.

I nod slowly before I even register my body’s own motion. Stepping back, I let the three men walk into my room. Ethan carefully and quietly closes the door behind them while I look at them, wondering what is going on.

Mitch is quiet, but his eyes never leave my face. They say so much in the absence of words—they say things I dare not even think, let alone say aloud. On the other hand, Ethan begins to slowly move around me, one cautious step at a time, while Colton takes a deep breath and gives me a warm, reassuring smile.

“I want you to stop worrying about what happened at the stables today,” Colton said.

“You know?” I gasp, then give Ethan a stunned look. “You told him?”

“We don’t keep secrets from one another,” Colton says. “Don’t be mad at him, Melissa. Ethan did the right thing.”

I nod at Mitch. “So, I’m guessing Mitch knows, too. That’s why the three of you are here at this ungodly hour?”

“We just need you to listen to what we have to say,” Colton insists.

My blood is boiling. I don’t know what to do. Can a person die of shame? Because that’s what it feels like. I’d welcome death if it would ease my embarrassment and guilt.

“Deep breath,” Mitch gently says. “You’re going to be okay. I promise.”

“We’re brothers,” Colton says. “We don’t keep secrets from one another, and we share everything. It’s how we’ve remained close over the years, through school, boot camp, the Rangers, and hell itself. It’s how we survived and ultimately thrived. We share everything. ”

Outside, an icy wind howls, making the windows rattle ever so slightly.

“We’ve shared women over the years,” Colton adds. “It’s how we function, Melissa. So, I don’t care that you and Ethan kissed. If anything, I welcome it. I’m glad you’re drawn to him as you are to me. I can tell you’re into Mitch, too.”

My gaze shoots up and I feel my face burring.

Mitch chuckles softly. “There it is… the adorable indignation.”

“You share women?” I mumble.

“Intimately. Emotionally. Yes,” Ethan says. “It’s not your usual menage. It’s on a much deeper level.”

“A level I know you’re capable of reaching with us, if you want to,” Colton says. “Look at me, Melissa.”

I look at him, my heart thudding viciously and toying with my resolve. It shatters my dignity, and I find myself imagining what it would be like to put all these desires I’ve been experiencing into practice.

They share their women. What would that be like for me?

“I’m looking,” I whisper.

My resistance snaps like a twig.

“What do you see?” Colton asks, the depth of his voice causing the heat to penetrate my spine as he comes closer.

“A man I’ve already given myself to.”

“Would you do it again?”

“Without hesitation,” I manage, my lower lip trembling slightly.

Ethan joins him in this slow but steady siege of my senses. “Would you let me join you?” he asks, and my head moves in a nodding motion before I can stop it.

“Will you let us share you tonight?” Colton inquires, desire blazing in the blue diamonds of his beautiful eyes.

“I will.”

Mitch offers a soft smile. “Just so you don’t feel overwhelmed, I’d like to watch.”

“You’d like to… watch?” I mumble, my core clenching with savage anticipation.

“You’re one hell of a woman, Melissa. But if we’re going to do this right, we have to take it one step at a time,” Mitch replies, hands in his pockets. The hard bulge in the front of his pants makes my throat dry. An image of him ramming into me flashes before my eyes.

And I nod again. “Okay.”

“Come here,” Colton says and pulls me into his arms.

His kiss blows my mind. Our tongues entwine. Our lips crush together as I breathe him in and taste him. Ethan moves to get behind me, and I’m sandwiched between their hard, exquisite bodies. Our hands roam everywhere, fingertips registering every line, every curve, every layer of fabric left between us.

“Put your hands up,” Ethan whispers in my ear, his lips brushing against my lobe.

I do as I’m told, shivering with desire as he takes my top off. My breasts are naked, basking in Colton’s full attention. He brings his hands up and fondles them, squeezing and kneading the flesh while I rest my hands on his sculpted shoulders. Ethan peels my pants off, and I’m naked. Vulnerable. Theirs for the taking.

Colton trails kisses down the side of my neck, while Ethan explores my shoulders, one at a time. My skin burns, a fire expanding from within as Colton’s lips close around my nipple, as Ethan bites into my neck.

“Oh, damn,” I hear myself gasp, stealing a glance at Mitch.

He sits in the chair by the window, his legs comfortably spread, while one hand rests on that ginormous bulge in his jeans. Hunger radiates from under those long, black lashes, his lips slightly parted as he watches the Avery twins pull me apart, piece by piece.

“Help me,” Colton says.

I smile as I help him out of his sweater, my fingers fumbling with the buttons on his jeans before he chuckles slowly and handles the rest. Ethan’s clothes join mine and Colton’s on the floor, and all I can do is give him a look over the shoulder as he comes to hug me from behind.

His cock slides between my buttocks to find me wet and wanting. “There’s nothing I love more than that sweet, sweet glaze,” he says as he brings a hand around my hips.

“Melissa, this is happening,” Colton adds and pulls me into a dark, dangerously delicious kiss while his fingers find my nipples and start pinching, tighter, tighter, until the wonderful sting makes me quiver and push my ass back into Ethan.

“Spread your legs for me, darlin’,” he says to me.

Again, I obey, eager for what tonight has in store for me. It has already exceeded my expectations. I can’t even remember what I was worried and outraged about earlier. I can barely remember my name at this point, but it doesn’t matter. Nothing matters except the release my body so desperately needs.

I reach behind me and dig my fingers into Ethan’s side, hard muscles greeting me while he slips a hand between my parted legs. He finds my clit swollen, primed and ready, desperate for a good tease.

Colton bends down and showers my breasts with suckling kisses, riddling my skin with delicate red petals, traces of his affection.

“Bend forward,” he says.

He takes a couple of steps back, and I bend forward. Ethan’s right hand grabs my hip. The left one is busy flicking my clit. At the same time, Colton offers me his gargantuan cock—all stiff and veiny, a drop of precum glistening on the engorged tip.

I look at Mitch. He gives me a slight nod. Oh, God, this is so fucking hot. I let loose, abandoning all common sense as I take Colton in my mouth. Simultaneously, I feel Ethan’s hard cock testing my entrance. A split second later, he slips right into me. I scream a muffled scream, unwilling to pull away from Colton while I’m left breathless by Ethan’s sheer girth.

He’s significantly thicker than his brother, and just as long.

I feel the veins along his shaft twitching as he inches back, then plunges into me.

I hold on to Colton’s chiseled hips, looking up to find him smiling lovingly down at me. He bites his lower lip as he tucks a lock of hair behind my ear. I loosen my jaw, moaning with raw pleasure as Ethan starts fucking me harder, deeper, faster. His fingers circle my tender nub, causing my juices to flow and pressure to thicken in my core.

Every stroke of my clit matches his pounding.

Mitch is enjoying every goddamn second of this, his jeans unzipped as he grabs his equally majestic cock and pleasures himself. I’m taut and ablaze, relaxing the back of my throat as I let Colton slide deeper and deeper.

“Take it all, baby,” he groans, and I taste his saltiness on my tongue as he pulls back for just a moment, just long enough to caress my face. “You’re such a good girl.”

“Oh, fuck, FUCK!” I cry out as Ethan’s finger savagely massages my clit while fucking me harder. My legs are weak, but I don’t want him to stop. He holds me up, splitting me in half as Colton slides his cock back into my mouth.

I come, gushing like a fountain, my pussy contracting with every thrust. Ethan growls and smacks my ass with his bare hand, causing a new round of ripples to explode within me. This has to be some kind of madness. Some kind of miracle, a double orgasm blowing through me as Ethan fucks me into extinction.

“Switch places,” Ethan tells his brother.

In the span of a few seconds, my whole world is turned upside down as Colton takes me from behind, and I end up sucking Ethan’s cock until he can’t take it anymore. I’m fucked out of my mind, shared between two men, filled to the brim and stretched until it hurts so good… I come again, my pussy clenching around Colton’s cock tighter and tighter until I feel him explode inside me.

“Fucking hell, Melissa!” he roars as he gives me everything he’s got.

Ethan holds my head still. Colton’s hand comes down to slap my ass. The sting travels upward as Ethan looks into my eyes. I close my fingers around the base of his cock. I can feel him, so close to the edge. I want to see this. I squeeze tightly and suckle the head, tasting myself as Colton drills the last of himself into me.

“Yes…” Ethan grunts and hisses.

I feel the liquid heat shooting into my mouth, his cock twitching in elation. His salty cum slides down my throat. I swallow every drop, beads of sweat blooming on my temples as Colton lovingly bends forward and cups my full breasts.

He takes good care of me while I take good care of his brother.

Mitch smiles and comes as well, his eyes closing for only a moment as the Avery twins gently guide me to the bed. I’m panting, still high up in the clouds, every fiber in my body shaking in the aftermath of my tumultuous climax. A grin slits across my face.

“We’re just getting started, darling,” Colton says as I lay on the bed.

“I’ll leave the three of you to it,” Mitch says after a while. His voice is so smooth and calm. His zipper is back up as he heads for the door. “But I will join you soon enough.”

“I want that,” I tell him.

He gives me a hungry smile. “Good.”

The door closes behind him, and I abandon myself in the arms of my twins. Colton and Ethan revel in the afterglow in honey-like silence

Before long, they’re taking turns fucking me again.

Harder.

Deeper.

Faster.

Until I let go, until I fall apart at the seams and hold on to their bodies.

Tomorrow is another story. Tonight is ours, and every damned second counts.
