Desert Seduction [Seducing Them 2] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) Read online

  She stepped closer to him and lifted her head up.

  “I guess that’s a yes.” Very gently he wrapped his arms around her, holding her lightly, but still against him, as he pressed his lips to hers. Ny was very aware of not wanting to take advantage of her, yet at the same time, he needed to kiss her properly enough that she liked it. He couldn’t afford for her to think he wasn’t capable of pleasing her adequately.

  She leaned closer to him, so he deepened the kiss and tightened his hold on her, letting her breasts touch his chest and their bellies rest against each other. His dick was a thick line in his jeans, and he knew she’d feel it, but hopefully it wouldn’t be too intrusive. Gently he licked the seam of her mouth, and she opened for him. He wanted to fuck her mouth hard and fast, but kept a firm grip on himself, just tasting her lightly, teasing her a little, and then sliding his tongue around hers.

  He was careful to pull away before she became short of breath. In this case he was hoping less would be more, as the saying went.

  As they stepped apart, Forest said, “My turn.”

  Ny looked away, wondering what the etiquette was here. Once they were a proper triad—and right now he was thinking positively that they would become a one—obviously they’d all be together all the time. But right now, maybe he ought to give them their own privacy. Likely it was something he and Forest would have to discuss. And fairly soon.

  Then they turned to walk back to the house.

  Forest broke the silence and Ny’s happy, relaxed mood.

  “I still don’t think this ball is a good idea. What about the rogues who abducted Jasmine? What about the stolen guns? Something bad is happening out in the desert, and by inviting all the wolves, who knows what trouble you’re opening up for the pack to have to face?” said Forest.

  “Fuck! I’d forgotten about that,” said Ny, his joy disappearing in a nanosecond.

  “But the Alpha won’t have forgotten. He’ll have it all under control,” said Chloe confidently.

  Ny wished he believed her. Suddenly he was aware how dangerous this plan might be.

  Chapter Three

  Forest hated having to deliver the bad news, but someone had to be honest and realistic. Since no one else was lining up for the tough job, that meant he had to do it. The whole masquerade ball idea was stupid, but his family seemed to think people would like to have an excuse for a party. He supposed he could understand that. Few of the desert wolves got together even for things like Thanksgiving, so an excuse for a party might be something that would appeal to them.

  But with a group of uncontrolled men around, who had kidnapped an innocent woman, it was time for a dose of reality. People leaving their usual, well-known areas of the desert to travel over its vast unmapped distances was not a good plan. And he knew damn well most of them wouldn’t come by road. Everyone who lived in the desert set a compass with the direction they needed to go in and just drove.

  And that was a recipe for disaster. Sooner or later someone would meet up with the rogues. After all, they had to live somewhere, and the most likely place for them to be was in the uninhabited zones—which was exactly the area people coming to the ball would be traveling through. And none of his pigheaded family could see the danger lurking right there waiting to trap some unwary traveler.

  Forest decided when everyone was in bed he’d be e-mailing the Alpha himself with his own thoughts about this craziness. Maybe the Alpha would order people to travel in larger groups. That would be good protection, whereas telling them to come by road likely would be ignored.

  Kissing Chloe had been wonderful. He’d like to do a whole lot more than kiss her, but first he needed to teach her to stop acting irresponsibly and to obey him. She couldn’t risk herself the way she’d done coming here alone. No wonder her brothers were worried about her. It was a pity they hadn’t trained her better though.

  Forest knew she’d snuck away without telling them exactly where she was going. He could understand that she didn’t want her brothers with her every moment of the day, but that just wasn’t a good enough excuse for her behavior. She should never be alone in the desert without him beside her, to care for her.

  From now on, she’d just have to learn to obey him. He needed to protect her and keep her safe. She and Jaz could spend as much time as they wanted to alone together—inside the house.

  Right now, though, all he could think about was making love to her. Surely once he’d fucked her she’d understand she belonged to him and that she needed to let him have control of her life. Well, him and Ny. Ny wanted her, too, although Ny was too soft with her. He, Forest, was the only one who seemed to be prepared to step up and look after her. Well, he would do it. She was his. His to love and care for. He just had to show her that.

  He stopped and turned to her, holding out his arms. Unhesitatingly, she stepped up to him again, lifting her head for his kiss. Her lips were soft and sweet, and her body against his was even softer and sweeter. She molded herself against him, letting her breasts touch his chest and his dick rest against her belly.

  Forest deepened the kiss, unable to resist driving his tongue inside her mouth and possessing it the way he wanted to possess the rest of her.

  He rubbed his hands up and down her back, feeling the inherent strength in her spine and shoulders as well as the rounded delight that was her ass.

  He let Ny have his turn but was consumed by a rush of jealousy. His brain knew he had to share, but his mind still wanted to hold on to her. He hoped the sharing would be easier once they were all in bed together. This kissing was too much like having to take turns. He wanted them both to take her together. He’d already planned how that would go, how they’d share her the first time, coating her in their seed and claiming her as theirs forever.

  When Ny let her go, Forest took her hand in his. “Chloe, let us both take you to bed. Let us make love to you the way a woman should be loved—by two men. Two men to worship and adore your body. Two men to possess you and keep you safe forever.”

  Chloe pulled her hand out from his. “If I go to bed with you, and please notice I said if, it will be a trial, a once-only thing. I’m not going to sign up to be claimed or possessed or kept by anyone. I have three bossy older brothers who are quite enough for me without taking on a couple of jealous lovers as well.”

  “But I want to look after you,” he said.

  “That’s nice, but it’s not all about you, is it?”

  Damn! She was right. It was about her, not him. However, there was nothing to stop him trying to convince her. “Okay, just tonight. But we can still worship your body and show you that being fucked by two men is more than twice as good as anything you’ve ever experienced before.”

  “That won’t be much of a challenge. Those three older brothers of mine put a major crimp in my sex life.”

  “Well then, it’s just as well they aren’t here tonight, isn’t it?” said Ny.

  “That’s true. Okay, then.”

  Forest wanted to jump and shout. She’d agreed to go to bed with him. All he had to do was fuck her so thoroughly she never wanted to get out of his bed, ever again. That shouldn’t be too hard to achieve.

  * * * *

  Chloe was very attracted to Ny, both to his appearance and his character. She wasn’t so sure about Forest. He was certainly extremely good looking. Tall, dark, and devastating described all the Wishram men, and he was a powerful and strong leader, as well as excellent eye candy. But every time she thought she’d been a little too hard on him by comparing him to Tekoa, he said or did something to make her decide he absolutely was as bossy and hard to live with as her oldest brother. Like trying to say they couldn’t go to the ball and leave the store unattended. As if no one in the entire desert could ever arrange to mind the store for a few days for fuck’s sake. Or saying she was his possession. Like hell she was. She belonged to no man, now or ever.

  The problem was that ever since the Supreme Alpha of North America had granted his approval to
several men sharing a woman, wolves all over the country had partnered up, ready to cooperate over a mate. And Ny and Forest were a team. She couldn’t take Ny and not Forest. She wanted Ny and was also attracted to Forest, but she wasn’t sure she was ready to accept him. Maybe tonight she’d be able to see how he really acted when he was relaxed. Both men sent her blood pounding and her hormones screaming to be let lose. There was no denying her body liked them both very much.

  She’d been attracted to Ny from the very start and the more she’d seen him the more she’d related to his personality. Kissing him was a natural next step. He was very kissable, and a relationship with him was eminently reasonable. As soon as he’d suggested they go for a walk, she’d been ready for what it might lead to. Chloe was prepared to find out if he tasted as good as he looked.

  She was more ambivalent about Forest. She understood his need to care and protect everyone. That seemed to be inborn in the eldest child of a large family. And he, too, was plenty nice as eye candy. She was certain he’d be a protective partner and a good kisser. But she wasn’t so sure about the rest of a relationship. Would he be able to tell the difference between protection and overprotection?

  So kissing him was a logical next step as well, to find out how compatible they were.

  Well, the test results were in and they were both excellent kissers and mighty find potential lovers. Both had been charming and erotic, drawing responses from the depth of her being that had left her more than ready for whatever came next. Her palms were sweating, her cunt was full of cream, her nipples were hard, and she longed to move their friendship up to the next step.

  Ny was absolutely what she wanted in a partner. Forest was a package deal with Nyander, and a dashingly handsome man who aroused all her senses.

  But no way on earth was she going to become some man’s treasure locked away from society and overprotected. That kind of lifestyle would have her climbing the walls and screaming mad in no time at all. Well, she’d see how this went tonight. If Forest proved too bossy and bullying, that would be the end of any thought of a relationship with them. After all, in just a few months, they’d be holding the masquerade ball, and that would fill her life with all the purpose and fun she’d need for a long time to come. She was already looking forward to the huge challenge of bringing about such a major event for the wolfpack.

  When they reached the house, Forest led the way inside from a side door and into a long passage. This time he opened a door and turned on the light, holding the door open for her to enter what was clearly his own bedroom. Chloe was excited at seeing a different area of the house but stopped as soon as she entered the room.

  Piles of books, file-folders, brochures, and other things littered every flat surface. A bookshelf at head-height was inches deep in dust, and the sporting trophies on it were tarnished and dusty as well. At the foot of the bed was a pile of dirty clothing, and the rug looked like it hadn’t been vacuumed for months. The bed was unmade, and several sweaty T-shirts had been dropped on one of the pillows.

  Chloe wasn’t a housekeeping goddess herself, but this was well below even her casual standards.

  “Hell, Forest, haven’t you heard about mops and vacuum cleaners? And when was the last time you changed the bed linen? No thank you.”

  He gripped her arms. “I’m busy. I work long hours. It’s just a little messy. I’ll clean up before next time.”

  She pulled herself out of his hands. “In a normal relationship, the man gives the girl flowers and perfume. He wines her and dines and tells her he likes her a lot. I wasn’t expecting candles and chocolate, but I don’t think it’s too much to expect a certain level of hygiene.”

  She turned her back on the men, hoping she was heading in the right direction to return to her own room. Inside, she was disappointed. She liked these men and had been really looking forward to sex. But hell, it looked as if Forest hadn’t straightened his room in the last year or so and no way was she climbing into his bed.

  Ny rushed around to stop her. “I clean my room each week, and I can easily change the bed linen right now. Don’t go away, please, Chloe. I want you very much.”

  “Brown nose,” snarled Forest.

  For some reason that reminded Chloe of her brothers and made her giggle. She supposed she should feel sorry for these men, far from the guiding hand of a woman. They’d never had sisters, any of them, to set them on the path of truly understanding women.

  “We’d better go to my room then. At least it’s been looked after properly.”

  “Yuchi is a brown nose, too,” said Forest. But this time there was a light tone in his voice. He was responding to his own previous statement in a way they all knew was the closest he was likely to come to making an apology.

  Chloe grinned. Maybe she needed to conduct a few lessons and teach these poor, neglected men a few facts of romantic life. That way, by the time the ball was held, they might have a few clues about how to woo a woman.

  Ny led the way through two more hallways to her room, and she stepped inside. Suddenly she didn’t want to tease or play anymore. She just wanted to be with these men and to let them love her. It was time to find out just how much they meant to her, and whether Forest would relax and be a suitable partner for her.

  Both men moved to stand in front of her, side by side.

  “Relax and let us love you. We want to make this a very special time for you,” said Forest.

  “Oh, I don’t think relaxing is what I want right now,” she said, smiling at them.

  “But is naked what you’d like?” asked Ny, lifting the edge of her T-shirt.

  “Only if you’re both going to be naked as well.”

  “That’s definitely the plan.”

  Forest kneeled down and removed her boots and socks and then his own.

  Meanwhile Ny had her T-shirt off and was unsnapping her bra. She noticed that, while Forest left their shoes right where they were standing, Ny dropped her clothing onto the dresser.

  Hmm, she definitely would need to give Forest a few tips in tidiness and housekeeping. She was surprised his mom hadn’t done that already, but maybe she made him watch over his brothers instead of helping around the house. It was Yuchi who looked after the house now, so perhaps that wasn’t just his choice but more what he was used to doing.

  Right now she was too on edge to think about such things, though. She wanted to see them both naked. She knew their musculature was going to be very sexy, and she wanted to touch and lick them all over.

  She gripped Forest’s belt and held him still while she unbuckled the belt and unzipped his jeans. Since he didn’t seem to care about neatness, she brushed her hands over his hips, pushing the jeans down and then shoved his T-shirt up. Oh yes. He had a perfect six-pack. His skin was darkly tanned, almost the same color as his forearms, and his nipples were very dark.

  Obediently he ducked his head to let her pull his shirt off and then she smoothed her palms over his chest, exploring the taut muscles, the hard walls of his chest, and the dips and planes of his torso. She leaned over and licked his nipples, teasing them until they stood up.

  Then she turned to Nyander. “Now you.”

  “Yes, ma’am.”

  Ny pulled his T-shirt off and threw it across the room to land on the dresser. He stepped out of his jeans in one swift movement. She treated him exactly as she had Forest, rubbing his chest, teasing his nipples, exploring his body, and then licking him. Damn, he was delicious. His skin was lighter than Forest’s, but he was still tanned from a life in the desert. With his jeans off, she could see his legs were leaner than Forest’s. Forest’s thighs were thick with muscle. Ny’s were sturdy, but less solid, more like a runner than a body builder. Not that Forest was a body builder, but she was just using the term to mentally differentiate between them.

  Nyander pulled the comforter off the bed while Forest unzipped her jeans. “There’s only one person here still dressed,” he said. She liked the sparkle in his eyes. He was doing hi
s best to tease and play, and she liked that. Maybe he could be lighthearted and fun as well as bossy. She really hoped so because, right now, she wanted him as much as she wanted Ny.

  She wiggled out of her jeans, and Forest lifted her onto the bed, and then she realized neither of them had gotten out condoms.

  “Condoms,” she reminded them.

  “What?” asked Forest.

  She was certain he knew what she meant so she didn’t answer him. Ny looked thoughtful. “I expect there’s some in the first aid box or even in the stock for the store. I can go look.”

  Chloe looked at Forest. He was the one who ordered in the goods they sold in the store. Ny was in charge of the food preparation.

  “I’ll get them. We always keep a couple of boxes just in case they’re needed,” he said. But instead of climbing off the bed and putting on his jeans again, he turned to Chloe and gripped her hands.

  “Wolves fuck bareback. You’re a wolf, so you know that. We need to bathe our mate in our seed so everyone knows she’s ours.”

  “You’re forgetting one very important fact here. I’m not yours, and I’m not your mate. This is a party-fuck, some fun, not a statement of intent, remember?”

  Forest frowned fiercely but climbed off the bed and slid his legs into his jeans. It really was a damn shame to cover up such a lovely body, but at least he was doing what she wanted, and he hadn’t tried very hard to change her mind.

  He stomped out of the room, and Ny sat beside her on the bed.

  “He’s always been in charge of his brothers. Ever since he was a baby. He can’t help it, you know.”

  Chloe shook her head. “Tekoa is exactly the same, but neither of them is in charge of me. No one bosses me around. I’m a perfectly competent adult, and I make my own decisions.”

  “I understand, but you need to see things from Forest’s side as well.”

  Chloe nodded. She was prepared to cut Forest some slack, but she wasn’t going to let him push her around, and she absolutely was not mating anyone right now.
