Capturing Kylie [Slick Rock 9] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) (10 page)

When Xavier pushed a thick finger into her cunt, she opened her mouth to cry out, but all she could do was gasp soundlessly. Taking in another breath, she sobbed as pleasure assailed her. Xavier was now pumping his finger in and out of her pussy while laving her clit with his tongue. Tension charged through her like a speeding freight train and she realized the keening sound she could hear was coming from her. Electrical sparks zinged from her breasts where Will and Lachlan were still suckling strongly, and then her keening turned to a wail as bliss swept over her in great waves. The pressure that had been building within peaked and the inner coil snapped. Her cunt muscles clamped down on the two fingers still shuttling in and out of her pussy and cream gushed out of her vagina as she reached climax.

Never in her life had she felt such exquisite nirvana. The pleasure was so great it was excruciating, but it was also one of the most profound, poignant experiences of her life. The emptiness, which had been like a black hole in her heart, was gone, and in its wake was heart-wrenching emotion she had never thought to experience. Kylie’s heart felt like it was overflowing with hope, love, and joy, and that was something she had never expected.

She wanted to be able to enjoy it, to lie in the bliss these three incredible men had given her, but it wasn’t possible. After all the loss she’d suffered over the past few years, she ached to be cared for by these men. But until her stalker was caught, the more she cared about them the stronger her sense of dread became. She sighed and began to suspect that maybe a happy ending wasn’t in her future.

Xavier had never seen a more beautiful sight in his life and he hoped to see it many more times. Kylie was such a passionate little thing and he wanted her in his bed and life forever. She was the most honestly responsive woman he had ever met and he couldn’t wait to make love with her. He looked up to Will and Lachlan and could see the future in their eyes as they looked down at the gorgeous woman on the bed.

He gazed at Kylie’s face as he ran his hands up and down her thighs, over her taut, concave belly, trying to bring her down slowly from her climactic high. Her eyelids fluttered open and he saw her green orbs were still glazed with the remnants of passion. As he shifted to his hands and knees, he realized he was shaking with lust, but as he looked at her stunning face he knew in his heart that what he felt for her wasn’t just desire. It was love. He wanted to cuddle her close and tell her that everything would be all right, that he and his brothers would keep her safe. He wanted to tell her how he felt, how she had worked her way under his skin and into his heart for all time. But he knew she wasn’t ready for such proclamations. He didn’t want to push her away with words she wasn’t ready to hear yet, so he kept his feelings to himself.

Her eyelids looked weighted as if she was having trouble keeping them open, and then she covered her mouth and yawned. As much as he wanted to make love with her right now, she needed sleep more. The dark smudges beneath her eyes were a testament to how exhausted she was, and even though his cock was screaming at him to plunge into her tight, wet pussy and connect with her on a physical as well as an emotional level, she needed to rest.

He laid his head on her belly and wrapped his arms around her hips. She felt so right in his arms and he wasn’t about to let go anytime soon. He looked at Will and Lach and was pleased to see they were both worried about Kylie as well. They scooted down beside her so that she was nestled between them while he moved from between her legs and off the bed. He pulled the covers up and then pulled the quilt and top sheet out from the bottom of the mattress. There was no way in hell he wasn’t sleeping in this bed with his woman. He got back on the bed and lay down across the foot then reached out and placed his hand on her leg.

“What are you doing?” Kylie asked around another yawn.

“Getting settled for the night,” Will answered. “Close your eyes, sweet thang, you need to rest. You have a big day tomorrow with the wedding and all.”

Kylie looked perplexed and Xavier had to hold in a chuckle. She had obviously expected him and his brothers to pounce on her after making her come. It was obvious that she’d never had anyone who would put her needs before their own. Well, their little darlin’ was going to learn that her health and desires came first. It didn’t matter that his dick was so hard it was jerking with each beat of his heart. It didn’t matter that he would probably lie awake for hours on end with unrequited desire. Kylie was what mattered to him right now.

“Close your eyes, sugar.” Lach moved in close and slung an arm over her waist and then he placed a gentle kiss against her temple. “Sleep, Kylie.”

Her eyes slid closed and between one breath and the next, her breathing deepened and evened out. Their woman was asleep.

“She’s going to continue fighting us,” Will said in a low voice so he wouldn’t disturb Kylie.

“Yes, she is,” Xavier sighed.

“She can fight all she wants.” Lachlan lifted his head to stare down at her. “She’s gonna have to realize no matter what she does or says, she isn’t going to push us away.”

“She tries to act so tough and doesn’t know we can see the fear and vulnerability in her eyes.” Xavier rubbed his hand lightly over her leg.

“Did you see how scared she got after we made her come?” Lach asked.

“Yeah.” Will nuzzled his nose into her neck and then looked over to Lach. “That about did me in. I wanted to pick her up, wrap around her, and hold her close, but she would have baulked.”

“It’s not just that asshole she’s scared of. She’s scared of how we make her feel. We’re getting to her.”

“So how are we going to handle this?” Will flopped back onto the pillow.

“We love her,” Xavier said and hoped like hell that they could wear her down and get beneath those protective walls she had erected.

Kylie had trouble containing her tears through the commitment ceremony. Eva had married Quin earlier that afternoon and now she stood in the backyard of their home beneath the rose-covered arbor while she recited her vows to all her men.

“Pierson, I love you so much. You are my love, my laughter, and my joy. I will spend the rest of my life by your side through the good times and bad. You are forever in my heart.

“Gray, I love you just as much. You mean more to me than words can say. You are the air I breathe and my light, and are also forever in my heart.

“Quin, I love you, too. You are my pillar of strength and even though I know we will butt heads often, you are forever in my heart.”

The celebrant raised her hands and smiled at Eva and then looked up to the guests. “May you live and love long and enjoy the journey you are about to embark on.”

Kylie wiped the moisture from her face as Pierson turned to Eva and drew her into his arms. He said something to her, but Kylie couldn’t hear what. It had obviously been for Eva’s ears alone. He kissed her and the crowd cheered and clapped as Eva was then kissed by her other two husbands. By the time they had finished, everyone was moving toward the large marquee where the reception would be held.

A hand landed on her shoulder and she looked up into Xavier’s blue eyes. He placed a cloth into her hands and then rubbed her skin. “Are you okay, baby?”

“I’m fine, thanks.” She looked at her hand to see a clean handkerchief and then used it to blot her eyes and face.

“You look so goddamn sexy in that dress, Kylie. You’d better stick close to us, or you’re going to have the single men all over you.”

Kylie didn’t think anyone would be interested in her and rolled her eyes, but then she realized what he’d said and turned to face him.

“I’m serious,” he continued. “I saw the way some of the guys are looking at you, looking at the skin you’re showing in that dress. If you’re not careful, they’re going to be all over you.”

“So? I’m a grown woman. I think I know how to handle flirty men.”

His eyes narrowed. “Maybe you normally do, but this is different. These are Slick Rock men we’re talking about here.”

“And do you include yourself in these men I need to watch out for?” He opened his mouth to respond, but before he could, she held out a hand to silence him. “Listen, I don’t need you or your Neanderthal brothers looking out for me. I can take care of myself.” She whirled around and walked away.

The hair on the nape of her neck stood up on end, and although she wanted to look back over her shoulder, she didn’t. She wasn’t about to give Xavier the satisfaction of knowing she was aware of him, although after last night, she knew it was already too late. Just as she reached the tent, three very tall, muscular, bronze-skinned men moved into her path.

“Hi there, sweetie. I don’t believe we’ve met. I’m Brent Eagle and these are my brothers, Jerome and Clifford.”

“I’m Kylie Mailing, pleased to meet you.” Kylie reached out to shake Brent’s hand, but instead of shaking it, he just held it.

“We live in Mountain Village less than two hours from here,” Clifford said.

“That’s nice,” she replied, not knowing what else to say.

“Are you a friend of the bride?” Jerome asked.

“Yes.” Kylie snatched her hand back from Brent and stepped around them, feeling a little uncomfortable with the way they eyed her body. Cursing Eva mentally for picking a revealing dress that just screamed for attention, she hurried toward the bridal table and sat down next to Pierson. The three Eagle brothers were staring at her and she could see the interest in their eyes and that was the last thing she needed. She already had three men pursuing her. She didn’t want or need any more.

By the end of the celebration, Kylie was exhausted. It had been such a beautiful day, but now all she wanted to do was have a hot shower and crawl into bed. Eva and her men had left for their honeymoon more than an hour ago, as had most of the guests. Felicity Eagle was currently helping Kylie transfer all the wedding gifts to the house while her husbands, Tom and Billy Eagle and Luke Sun-Walker, were talking to Tom and Billy’s cousins as they folded up the tables and chairs and hauled them out to the clean horse float to be carted away.

After placing the last of the presents into the spare room next to the master bedroom, Kylie decided to take one more look around outside just to make sure nothing had been missed.

“I’m just going to check that we haven’t missed anything,” Kylie told Felicity.

“Okay, I just have a couple more cards and gifts to pair up and then we’re finished.”

Kylie nodded and then headed outside. It was nearly dark and with little light left she hurried to the pavilion. The Eagle men had moved out of sight and she had no idea where Xavier and his brothers were. She stepped into the tent and looked around, but everything had been cleaned away. All that was left was for the marquee to be pulled down, but that was a job for the Badon cousins that they would do tomorrow.

She pictured how happy Eva had been as she had shared her first meal with her husbands as Mrs. Badon. Her friend had glowed with love and happiness.

Kylie was so lost in her thoughts she didn’t realize that she was being watched, that something was terribly wrong, until it was too late to do anything about it.

Movement above her caught her attention, and she looked up just in time to glimpse the marquee falling toward her before her vision was completely obscured and she was smothered by the heavy fabric. As she struggled for air, a new panicked thought began to surface.

Do I smell smoke?

The little cunt thought she could escape him. He almost laughed when he realized she’d run. She thought she was so smart, but he was much smarter. When he’d gone back to find out who she was, he’d also searched for her car. The apartment setup and the numbered parking garage had made his job easy. It had been easy as a snap of the fingers finding out who she was. The names of the apartment occupants were on the letterboxes in the foyer for anyone to see.

He’d spent a couple of years in the army and knew how to plan. He had learned to be patient and his patience would eventually pay off. He’d planted a tracker on her car so there wasn’t any place she could run to. He would always find her.

He was staying in a cheap motel only a couple of hours from Slick Rock and had driven the distance every day, hoping for a glance of her. His persistence had paid off and now he was standing behind some bushes at the back of the property no more than a hundred yards away. The town had to be fucked up, because it looked like one woman was marrying three men. He glanced toward the bitch and imagined her beneath him as he pounded his cock into her cunt. She looked like she wanted it, wearing such a slutty green dress, which showed more than it covered, and he was just the man to show her what it felt like to be fucked by a real man.

As he crouched in the bushes, he imagined what he was going to do to her. It didn’t matter that his muscles ached as he waited hours for his opportunity. He learned to watch for hours on end while serving in the military.

When the bride and grooms left and then guests also began to leave, he knew the time to move was almost at hand. There were still quite a few big men around, so he was going to have to be careful.

Then his chance presented itself and he ran toward the back of the large tent. The bitch was all alone and this was his break. Making sure to stay within the shadows, he skirted the tent, keeping an eye and ear out for the men who were nowhere in sight at the moment, and he released the ropes attached to the outside poles. When they were all loose, he pushed them over. He started near the entrance to the pavilion, cutting off her only avenue of escape, and then worked on both sides and finally the back. She yelled out as if pissed off when the canvas floated down around her, but he was so in the moment he didn’t take any notice of what she said. Taking out his lighter, he sparked it to life and then placed the flame to the corner of the material.
