Dark Desire in Elk's Crossing [Sequel to Ecstasy in Elk's Crossing] (Siren Publishing Ménage Amour) (15 page)

“I shudder to think what you two have been up to since you dropped me off at the hotel,” Joshua said, stepping closer to Annika.

“Would you just shut up and untie me?” Annika said, biting off each word. “My boss has become a lunatic.”

Joshua walked around the chair and found what he guessed he would. Sven had used his own red, silk necktie to tie Annika’s hands behind her back.

“It’s just a guess on my part, but I’m willing to bet that tying her up wasn’t the easiest thing you’ve ever done.”

Sven groaned. “You have no idea. Tying her hands was easy, but she kicks like a footballer.”

“Footballer?”

Annika groaned sarcastically. “He’s a Scandinavian. What we call football, you Yanks call soccer.” When she said the word “Yanks,” she did so in a tone dripping with condescension. She looked Joshua straight in the eyes. “Are you going to untie me, or what?”

“Right now, I’m still in the
or what
category, but I’m certain I can give you a more definitive answer soon.” He looked at Sven. “So, what’s the story?”

“I’ve changed my mind. I can’t let her go. We were all just supposed to wipe our memories clean once we left Elk’s Crossing, but I can’t do that. I’ve fallen in love with her. When I told her I can’t just ignore what we’ve had, she wouldn’t even listen to me. She tried to run away.”

Joshua looked at Annika, watching her expression change slightly as Sven spoke. Though he didn’t want to admit it, she looked unbearably sexy and vulnerable with her hands tied behind her back and her ankles cinched securely to the legs of the chair.

“That’s when you tied her up.”

“I thought you should have the opportunity to help me change her mind. That is, of course, if you want to continue our…” His words faded away.

Annika groaned again, apparently suddenly finding it demeaning to have to translate for Sven. “The words you’re flailing to find are
ménage à trois
. It’s French. Literally, it means ‘household of three.’”

“That’s what I want.” Sven made the statement as a man long accustomed to having the power to change other peoples’ lives. “A household of three.”

“I live half a world away,” Joshua said, but he was liking the direction the conversation was headed. “But I suppose we can figure something out.”

“This is lunacy to even talk about any household, much less a household for the three of us.” Without the use of her hands, Annika had to blow a honey-blonde lock of hair away from her left eye. Joshua found it incredibly sexy when she did it, and he felt his cock begin to stir inside his trousers. “I had a lot of fun in Elk’s Crossing, but fun time is over. It’s time to get serious and think about business.”

Sven said contemptuously, “Fuck business.”

Joshua saw the shock register in Annika’s expression. She said, “I never thought I’d hear you say that in a million years. You’re nothing
but
business.”

“Trust me on this,” Joshua said, “business isn’t nearly as important to me as you are.”

He stepped closer to Annika, and when he tried to caress her cheek with his fingertips, she turned her face away. It was easy to see that she was angry. What wasn’t quite so easy to see, though Joshua picked up on it, was that she was giving the notion of a permanent
ménage à trois
serious consideration.

Joshua got down on one knee, took Annika’s chin firmly in his palm, and turned her face toward him.

“Do you mind if I try to change your mind?”

“Yes, I mind very much,” Annika said, but the tone of her denial held more than just a smattering of doubt. “You two won’t want to stay with me permanently, and I won’t sleep with a man who cheats on me. I can’t be in two places at once, and it’s damned unlikely that Sven will move to Elk’s Crossing, or that you’ll move to Oslo.”

Joshua leaned forward and pressed a kiss to Annika’s mouth. She clamped her lips tightly together. He released her chin, and she turned her face away, but now Sven was on one knee, so her escape was brief. Joshua watched as Sven took her head in both hands and kissed her fiercely, his head moving slowly as the kiss went on and on. Joshua felt his cock begin growing with startling swiftness.

“She’s so damned sexy,” Joshua said softly as he placed his hand over Annika’s breast and squeezed. Even through her bra and blouse, the eroticism of squeezing Annika’s breast shocked Joshua. He wasn’t a kid copping his first feel, but even through clothing, touching her breast made his cock fiercely rigid. “I can never get enough of her.”

Sven ended the kiss and said, “That’s why we have to convince her that the three of us staying together is the natural thing to do. It’s splitting up, it’s ignoring the beautiful thing that we have, that would be unnatural.”

“Are you going to untie me?”

Joshua shook his head. “Not until you promise to stay with us.”

“That’s insane,” Annika replied. “This is all insane.”

She might have said “insane,” but when Joshua kissed her again, the tip of his tongue eased between her lips briefly before she turned her face aside. He turned her toward him again and let the hunger in his soul speak in his kiss. Soon his tongue was seeking all the most sensitive places in her mouth, dancing erotically with her tongue.

* * * *

They’re only going to break your heart. Give them your body if you need to, but don’t give them your heart.

Annika sucked Joshua’s tongue deeper into her mouth, shivering as she felt her arousal heighten. She knew it was wrong to take so much pleasure in being tied up, but what her rational mind wanted and what her lusty body desired were not necessarily the same things. In fact, sometimes it was quite the opposite.

Needing to breathe, desperately needing to clear her wildly confused thoughts, she turned her face away from Joshua. But there was no chance of escape. Sven pushed his fingers into her hair to hold her securely then gave her one of his demanding, Viking kisses that always melted her bones. She eased her tongue between his lips then reminded herself that she wasn’t supposed to be a willing participant in this erotic effort to change her mind about continuing the
ménage à trois.
Clamping her lips tightly shut did not deter Sven as he turned her face aside then kissed her neck just beneath the jaw, where Annika had already told him she was particularly sensitive.

They know me too well. Oh, damn, how did I ever let them know so much about me? How did this ever go so far?

Her eyes were closed, and she was trying to ignore the warm, moist lips at her neck when she felt the buttons of her blouse coming unfastened. A moment later, the tails of her blouse were pulled out from her skirt, and her blouse was opened wide to reveal her breasts held in a pink Victoria’s Secret bra.

“Sooner or later, you two will tire of me,” she said with as much conviction as she could manage. “You won’t want to share me.”

She was grateful that the closure to her bra was between her shoulder blades, inaccessible as long as she sat in the chair.

Sven’s lips burned a sultry path from her neck to her ear. When his tongue played along the circumference of her ear, then delved inside, Annika flinched as though she’d been jolted by electricity. Whenever Sven kissed her ears, it always made the lips of her pussy creamy, and if she was already wet, after those ear kisses she practically dripped. She was still trying to deny she wanted the sensations Sven’s lips were evoking when she felt the cups of her bra being eased beneath the mounds of her breasts.

Joshua said in a tone made hoarse by lust, “Magnificent!”

Annika couldn’t block out all the feelings bombarding her senses. Her nipples felt so hard and erect it was almost painful. When Joshua sucked one of her nipples into his mouth, and Sven did the same to the other, a soft, warbling moan came from deep within her soul. She couldn’t stop herself from opening her eyes and looking down. To see and feel two handsome men, their eyes closed and their mouths open, cheeks hollowed with suction on her breasts, was nearly enough to make her climax then and there.

Annika tested once more the necktie surrounding her wrists. There was no yielding. She was bound securely and would remain that way until the men decided to release her.

I loved it when Sven held me face down on the floor and tied my wrists. My clit feels like it’s on fire.

It was not a comforting thought for a woman convinced that it was wicked to find being dominated, tied up, then partially undressed, all sexy as hell.

She felt two hands on her knees. When she tried to close her legs, she couldn’t. Sven had done too well of a job securing her ankles to the legs of the chair for her to defend herself in that manner. Because Joshua and Sven were continuing to suck and lick her nipples, she couldn’t see the hands that slid up the insides of her thighs, caressing her lightly through her thigh-highs.

They’re almost to my pussy. Damn. They’re going to find out how wet I am.

“Hey, guys, this isn’t going to work,” Annika said in as calm and dismissive a tone as possible. “You’re not going to change my—”

Strong fingers—she thought they were Sven’s, but she couldn’t be sure, and not knowing was what made it especially exciting—pressed against the lips of her pussy, touching her through her thong panties. Just the sensation of the thin cloth being forced more tightly against her clit made a fresh burst of honey come forth.

My panties are going to be sopping wet. Stop responding, goddamn it!

“You’ll never get my panties off without untying my ankles.” She tried to laugh derisively and managed only partially. Rapidly escalating lust, and the panic that went along with it, led to poor theatrics. “I guess you sort of outsmarted yourself, didn’t you, Sven?”

She watched as Sven looked at Joshua, smiling triumphantly. “She’s as wet as I’ve ever felt her.” Then he looked Annika in the eyes as he curled his fingers inside the waistband of her panties. “If you think this little thong is going to protect you, you’re sadly mistaken.”

Annika felt the fabric bite into the flesh of her hips, and heard the sound of the panty being ripped from her. The combined stimulus was nearly enough to make her come instantly. She watched as Sven’s eyes widened while he stared like a hungry wolf at her pussy. He slid his hands over her stockings then pushed the middle finger of his right hand between her folds. The lips of Annika’s cunt separated easily, and feeling her feminine temple being penetrated by a finger sent a fresh wave of cream to her cunt.

“Oh, God,” Annika whispered then bit her lip to silence herself.

“There’s something I’ve wanted to do to her, and this seems like the perfect time for it,” Sven said. “Keep her amused, would you, my friend, and I’ll be back in just a minute.”

“My pleasure,” Joshua said, moving so that he was now kneeling between Annika’s legs as Sven got to his feet and walked away. He touched Annika’s pussy and smiled. “Damn, you are about as ready to get fucked as I’ve ever felt.”

“You’re mistaken. You’re completely wrong.” It was a lie of cosmic proportions, but Annika couldn’t remain silent, so denying the truth seemed the only option. “You have no idea what you’re talking about.”

That’s the dumbest lie in the world. If there’s anything Joshua knows about, it’s getting a woman all hot and bothered then satisfying her until she comes about a million times. You stupid fool, how many times has he made you come? You have no idea, and that’s all the answer you really need.

She watched, simultaneously horrified and utterly fascinated, as Joshua kissed the inside of her thigh. The warmth of his lips through her stocking sent tingles shooting straight into her clit. When he looped his arms around her, then pulled her hips forward so that her bottom was just barely on the chair, Annika couldn’t keep a soft sigh of anticipation to herself. Then, slowly, looking straight into her eyes, Joshua brought his mouth to her pussy and sucked her clit between his lips.

Having lightning going through her veins would have caused less of a reaction from Annika than watching and feeling Joshua suck on her clit. She tried to close her eyes, but it was too erotic watching Joshua giving her such lewd pleasure.

Sven returned and said, “She’ll be more sensitive after I’m finished with her.”

Half in a sexual trance by the bondage, the sense of their complete domination and her own total submission, and expertly delivered cunnilingus, Annika looked up and saw that Sven was holding a can of shaving cream and a multibladed razor.

Joshua took his mouth away from Annika’s pussy and said, “I like the way you think, but before we do that, let’s get comfortable. I haven’t even taken off my boots. By the way, have you noticed that I’m the only man in all of Norway wearing cowboy boots?”

“Actually, yes I have noticed. The ladies seemed to like it though. I caught several of them giving you the once-over.”

“Is this really the time for small talk?” Annika asked sarcastically. “I tell you what, let’s all talk about how we’re going to untie me now so that I can put my clothes back on so we can all go our own separate ways.”

The men moved so that they were standing in front of Annika, and she could see each and every movement as they removed their clothes slowly, deliberately, with what she suspected was a conscious awareness of just how arousing they were to look at.

They know they’re gorgeous. They know what happens to me when I look at their naked bodies. Damn them for being so fucking good at fucking. Don’t look. Close your eyes. That’ll teach the arrogant bastards.

But she couldn’t close her eyes. In fact, she could hardly blink as she watched masculine perfection being revealed to her. By the time Joshua stepped out of his cotton boxer-briefs, and Sven out of his silk boxers, each man sported an exquisitely formed erection. Annika’s mouth watered in anticipation of taking those towering cocks into her body. She didn’t care where they fucked her, or how they fucked her, so long as not too much more time passed before she felt those lovely cocks plunging deeply into her. She was desperate to get fucked, but not just by anybody, by the two men in front of her. This wasn’t random lust. It was focused like a laser.
