Monroe, Marla - Their Border Lands Gift [Men of the Border Lands 5] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) (18 page)

“Did you get any of them?” Ronnie asked Brice.

“We managed to kill about seven of them, but there are plenty more. It’s almost as if all the wolves from the area are converging. Damndest thing I’ve ever seen.”

“No one was hurt?” Jonathan asked.

“No, there were a couple of close calls, but with this many men, it was hard for them to try and cut any of us out to attack,” Kent explained.

“Bruce, Marcus, we really appreciate your joining up with us. You’re both damn good shots.” Bolton shook their hands around Kate. She seemed to have been fine with the women downstairs, but now she acted as if she wanted to go home.

“Just let us know when you want to hunt again. We’re headed home. I want to get Kate out of the cold as soon as I can.” Bruce shook the other men’s hands as they headed for the door.

Marcus kept his arm around Kate’s shoulders as they walked outside and headed for the truck. All the way down the drive to where Bruce had parked, Kate kept turning her head this way and that trying to see around them.

“What is it, Kate?” Bruce finally asked.

“I just feel like someone is watching us.”

“I’m sure the guys from the house are making sure we get to the truck safely.”

She sighed. Bruce was sure she felt like they were ignoring her. Then as they opened the truck doors, a twig snapped.

“Fuck, get her in the truck, Marcus.” Bruce climbed in and slammed his door.

Marcus shoved her inside and climbed in behind her. When he closed his door, it was just in time to keep a wolf from snatching at his leg. The dark brown animal growled at them before backing into the woods once again.

“Damn, that was close.” Bruce looked at Kate. “Next time you think someone is watching, tell us to remember this.”

“Don’t worry. I will.” She hugged herself.

Marcus kissed her cheek then fastened her safety belt and hugged her to him as Bruce backed them out of the drive. The thirty plus minutes it took them to get back to the house was made in silence. Bruce was still shaking on the inside from the near miss earlier. If the wolf had gotten Marcus out of the truck, another one would have gotten to Kate. He had misjudged their intelligence—again.

As soon as they pulled into the drive, Bruce was issuing orders.

“I’m going to go unlock the door. Don’t get out of the truck until I can cover you with the gun, Marcus. Keep Kate close to you.”

“Got it. I’ll take care of her.” Marcus was unbuckling her seat belt.

Bruce climbed out of the driver’s side of the truck with his rifle in his hand. He hurried to the front door and unlocked it, checking the house to make sure all the doors and windows were intact. When he didn’t find anything to worry about, he walked back to the front door and nodded at Marcus.

While Marcus quickly walked Kate to the door, Bruce scanned the tree line on both sides of the house for any sign of a wolf. As soon as his brother and their wife were inside, he stepped back inside and closed the door, locking it in the process.

He pulled Kate from Marcus’s arms and squeezed her into his. He didn’t want to bury another wife. The intelligence of the animals was uncanny.

“Bruce, you’re hurting me.” Kate’s strained voice cut into his thoughts.

He let her go after kissing the top of her head. “Sorry. I wasn’t thinking.”

“I’m fine, Bruce. Nothing happened.” She smiled up at him.

He tried to temper his thoughts and smile back at her, but it must have been a sad smile, because she pursed her lips and nodded before backing away.

“I’m going to go fix us something to eat. I’m sure you’re starved.” Kate disappeared into the kitchen, leaving him and Marcus to discuss the hunt.

“Keeping her safe is the most important thing we have to do, Marcus. One of us is to stay with her at all times once spring gets here. She’ll be safe enough in the house, I think. I don’t think the wolves will attack the house when we aren’t actively hunting them. I can’t believe they have that much intelligence.” Bruce looked out at the front yard and the fast approaching night.

“I agree. I’m going to check the animals real quick before she gets dinner ready.” Marcus stood up and grabbed his rifle.

“Be careful. Don’t take any chances.” Bruce clapped his brother on the shoulder.

“I don’t plan to.”

Bruce followed Marcus through to the kitchen and watched as he shoved his hands into his coat and his feet into his other boots. Then he closed the door behind him.

“Where is Marcus going?” Kate asked as she stirred something in a bowl.

“To check on the animals before we eat.” He walked over to peer over her shoulder.

“What are we eating tonight?”

“Potato patties, fried deer steak, and green beans.”

“Sounds good. I’m going to go ahead and take a shower. If you hear anything outside, come get me immediately. Don’t open the door.”

“Okay.” She nodded and continued stirring.

Bruce sighed and walked out of the kitchen. He knew he was losing Kate over to Marcus, but that was how it needed to be. He climbed the stairs and walked into the bedroom. He pulled out clean clothes then turned on the shower and adjusted the water. Tonight they would take her together. They had been preparing her for the last two weeks. It was time. It would be one of the few ways he could connect to her and keep his heart intact. Sex with Kate was an amazing thing.

He quickly bathed and dried off. Once he had his clothes on, he hurried downstairs to see if Marcus was back yet. He found them together in the kitchen. Marcus had her in his arms, kissing her as if nothing else mattered in the world. Right then, it probably didn’t. Bruce backed out of the room and settled in his recliner. They would call when the food was on the table. Until then, he’d take a short nap.

Only all he could think about was seeing his brother’s arms around Kate and wanting to be with them. No, he wouldn’t risk something happening to Kate like it had Irene because he’d been too wrapped up in her. If he hadn’t loved Irene so much, he would have been aware of the dangers around them and she never would have been left alone that day.

As soon as the dishes were washed and put away, Bruce herded her upstairs with him and Marcus. He was especially on edge tonight, and she was sure hunting the wolves had upset him. He kept a hand on her ass the entire trip up the stairs.

“Marcus, bathe her while I get ready and pull back the covers.” Marcus smiled a long, slow smile at that.

Kate wasn’t sure what was going on, but pulling back the covers meant sex and a cold bed. Anticipation began to gather in her womb. Her nipples peaked at the thought of what they would do to her tonight. She never knew what to expect. But she was always well satisfied.

“Come on, Kate. I’ll scrub your back for you.” Marcus pulled her into the bathroom and shut the door to keep the warm air from the shower circulating inside the room.

He quickly stripped them both and, after adjusting the water temperature, pulled her into the shower. She laughed when he got a face full of water for his efforts.

“Serves you right. Don’t pull me around like a rag doll.” She washed her face then soaped up the cloth and began to bathe Marcus.

“Turn around, Kate, and let me scrub your back and shoulders.” He soaped her up with the cloth and then massaged her into a wet noodle with his bare hands. When he let go of her, she nearly collapsed. He chuckled and turned her around to rinse off.

They quickly finished showering then stepped out and dried off. Marcus wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forehead.

“Baby, we’re going to love you together tonight. Are you ready?”

“Together? What do you mean?” She was sure she knew, but wanted Marcus to explain it to her.

“I’m going to fuck that sweet pussy of yours while Bruce takes your ass. It will be the best thing you’ve ever felt before, baby. I promise.”

“It will hurt, Marcus.” She was scared, but curious at the same time.

Almost every time that Bruce had played with her back hole he’d made her feel good while he did it, but there was always the pinch and burn at first. Taking a cock in her ass would mean a lot of pinch and burn. She shivered.

“It only burns for a few seconds, baby. You remember how good it felt for him to fuck you there with his fingers. You climax hard when he does that with me inside you. Just relax and push back for him, baby. We wouldn’t hurt you for the world, Kate.”

“I know. I’m just nervous.”

Marcus pulled her tighter in his arms and kissed her gently on the lips. His tongue licked around her lips then, when she opened them, licked inside her mouth. Their tongues moved against each other and tangled together until a knock at the door pulled them apart.

“Coming, Bruce.” Marcus winked at her. “He’s anxious. He can’t wait to get inside that tight ass of yours.”

They walked out into the chilly bedroom. Marcus hurried her over to the bed. Bruce climbed on top of her back and began rubbing her skin with something that felt warm and tingly all at the same time.

“What is that?” she asked.

“A menthol lotion. It will help keep you warm all over.” He finished rubbing it into her back, arms, and ass cheeks then moved down her legs. “Roll over for me, baby.”

Bruce skipped her breasts, but rubbed it into her belly and down the front of her legs as well. Then he put the lotion up and leaned over to lick and nip at her nipples. Marcus took one into his mouth and began sucking on it while Bruce slipped a finger between her pussy lips into her slit. He delved inside with one finger then added a second one. When he pulled out, she whimpered.

“Easy, baby. I’m going to have some of your sweet cream for dessert.”

While Marcus continued manipulating and licking her breasts, Bruce moved down her body until he could shoulder her legs wide apart. Then he spread her pussy lips and stabbed her with his stiffened tongue. She shuddered all over as he fucked her with it over and over. His thumbs circled her back hole until she wanted to scream for him to fuck her there. The anticipation was driving her crazy.

He stopped fucking her with his tongue and licked instead. He dragged his tongue from the bottom of her slit to the top right over her clit. She shuddered and lifted her hips in an effort to keep his rasping tongue on her little button. Instead, he pulled back and began pumping two fingers in and out of her cunt. He curved them and found that little spot deep inside of her that sent her flying with each stroke.

“God, you’re tight, baby.” Bruce grinned up at Marcus. “Wait until you get inside of her, Marcus. She’s squeezing my fingers like Vise-Grip pliers.”

Marcus hummed around a nipple, sending shivers down her spine. He nipped at one and twisted the other as she cried out at the amazing sensation. Her nipples were supersensitive, and Marcus knew just what to do to get her to come.

Bruce began to lap at her pussy like a cat licking milk. She thrashed her head from side to side, needing more from them. She needed that little bite of pain that she got when Marcus twisted or pinched her nipples or Bruce fingered her ass. She tried lifting her pelvis to give him more room to get to her, but he put a hand on her belly and kept her flat on the bed.

“Easy, Kate. I’ll take care of you. Let me have my fun first.” Bruce’s voice sounded strained for a change.

“Please, Bruce. I need to come. I can’t stand it.” She hated to beg.

“In a bit, baby. Just relax and let it find you.” He continued licking and stroking her pussy until she was crying with need.
