Leigh shivered and rubbed her arms. “It’s cold out there. Is it going to snow soon?”

“Yep. I figure by this time tomorrow we’ll have some snow on the ground.” He couldn’t help but smile at her exuberance even knowing it would cause a lot more work.

She squealed and whirled around in the kitchen.

“What’s going on?” Jonathan walked in from the living room.

“Joel said it’s going to snow soon.”

“I’ll take nights, you can have days,” Joel told Jonathan at his brother’s raised eyebrow.

“What do you mean?” Leigh frowned.

“We have to stay with the herd to keep them safe when it snows. That means one of us stays at night and one of us stays out during the day,” Joel explained.

“For how long?”

“Until we know they’ll stay close together and as long as the wolves stick close by. So far we haven’t found any evidence of them being around, but we can’t take a chance with a first snow.”

“I want both of you in bed with me.” She pouted.

“It won’t be for too long, baby. It will be okay.” Jonathan wrapped his arms around her from behind and pulled her back against him.

“Let’s get to bed. It’s cold in here,” Joel finally said.

He wanted inside of Leigh’s sweet pussy. More than that, right now, he wanted in her tight ass, but they needed to prepare her. He planned to start tonight. Her little rosette had been staring at him for days as he pumped her full of his cum. He wanted both he and his brother to take her together. He would feel even closer to her that way. Knowing that she trusted him enough to let him in her sweet ass went a long way in cementing his security in their relationship.

They followed her up the stairs and into the bedroom. All the way, his dick twitched at the thought of her back hole squeezing him. When she started undressing, he stopped her and undressed her himself. He slowly pulled her shirt over her head and tossed it to the side. Then he flicked the clasp on her bra and peeled the cups away from her breasts one at a time. He bent down and licked each nipple before dropping the bra to the floor.

Jonathan stood back as if sensing this was important to him. Joel was glad. He wanted to be the one to undress her tonight for some reason. He unfastened her jeans and peeled them down her hips and off her legs. She stepped out of them. He pulled off her socks and then stood up and shed his clothes while staring her in the eyes the entire time. He felt his brother behind him undressing as well.

Leigh seemed to know that this was between them. She waited for him to finish undressing then stepped over to the bed where he positioned her on her stomach with her ass raised in the air. He bent over and licked her pussy from behind around to her little rosette. Then he reached over to the bedside table and pulled out the drawer. There he withdrew a small bottle of lube he had stashed there earlier.

He made sure she could see it as he retrieved it. When she didn’t balk, he took it as permission to continue. Joel tested her readiness with two fingers in her cunt and found her pussy juices flowing. He pumped his fingers in and out several times before pulling his fingers out and sucking the delicious juices from them. Then he positioned his cock at her entrance and surged forward.

Leigh hissed out a
yes
when he filled her with his throbbing dick. Joel pulled back almost all the way and thrust forward again and again until he was all the way inside of her. He stilled and enjoyed the tightness of her cunt around his cock. He knew her ass would be even tighter, but the moist, tight heat of her had his balls burning.

Joel squeezed a liberal amount of lube on her ass and began to slowly massage it into her back hole. He pushed with his thumb against the rosette and felt her push back against him. She knew what to do.

“Have you ever had someone in your ass before, Leigh?”

She hesitated then answered. “Yes. I didn’t much like it. It hurt.”

“I promise we’ll be careful with you. It burns a little at first, but then we’ll make you feel better than you’ve ever felt before. Will you let us?” He almost held his breath waiting for her to reply.

“I know you’ll be careful, Joel,” she finally said.

“I need you to say it’s okay, Leigh. I won’t do anything without you agreeing to it. We won’t force you into anything.”

Her eyes watered up and she nodded before answering out loud. “Yes, I want you in my ass, Joel.”

He sighed and began slowly pumping his dick in and out of her pussy as his thumb pushed in and pulled out of her tight ass. He looked up and found Jonathan smiling as he lay beside her, playing with her bobbing breasts. The harder he pumped into her, the more her breasts jiggled for Jonathan. He smiled back. She would truly be theirs soon.

Once she was pushing back against him with some force, Joel removed his thumb with a soft
pop
and added more lube before entering her dark tunnel with two fingers. She stiffened up at first, then relaxed and pushed back against his fingers. Slowly, she began to add force to her backward thrusts. Joel tunneled in and out of her sweet cunt until he began to feel his balls draw up with a burning intensity.

He looked up at Jonathan and nodded. He needed help to send her over into orgasm. He wasn’t going to last much longer. Jonathan grinned and reached down between her legs to find her clit. Joel knew he would take care of her for him. He began to concentrate on holding off his orgasm until she exploded around him. He wanted to feel her tighten around him as her orgasm took her.

When she suddenly clamped down on him and screamed, he let go and flew with her, pumping her full of his cum as it erupted from his balls into his cock. He slowly withdrew his fingers from her ass while she was still high on coming and waited until she relaxed around him before he withdrew his dick. Then he pulled out and went to clean up in the bathroom while Jonathan soothed her and held her until he got back.

He expected Jonathan to take her afterward, but she was sound asleep when he got back. Jonathan was rubbing her back. He gently cleaned her up then tossed the cloth and climbed into bed with her.

“Sorry, Jonathan. I didn’t expect her to pass out afterward.”

“That’s okay. I’ll get my turn. She took to it fine. That’s all that matters. I can’t wait to take her together.” Jonathan continued to rub her back as if he couldn’t bear not to touch her.

“You’ve fallen for her, haven’t you?” Joel wasn’t surprised. His brother was the more relaxed of the two of them.

“Yeah. She means more to me than anything. I want her to be happy, Joel.”

“I want her to be happy, too. I’ll do everything in my power to make her happy.” Joel didn’t know how he felt about her yet, but he knew she was special to them both.

“You can’t help but love her, Joel. You’ll see.” Jonathan let his hand rest on the small of her back.

“Get some sleep, little brother. We have snow coming in. It’s going to be a long day tomorrow.”

He lay there for a long time after he heard Jonathan’s snores. How did he feel about Leigh? He knew he cared about her and she was important to him. Not just because his brother loved her, but because Joel wanted to love her. Maybe he already did. He had never been in love before, so he wasn’t sure what it felt like. Right now, he knew he would be devastated if anything happened to her.

Just the thought of something happening to her had his heart racing, and his stomach twisted with unease. He wouldn’t let anything happen to her if he could help it. He didn’t like feeling fear and worry. If that was what love was, maybe it would be better if he didn’t fall for her. Someone needed to keep a clear head around her to keep her safe.

He looked over at her lying flat on her stomach with one hand curled at her chin and the other one under the pillow. Jonathan lay on his side facing her with one hand resting on her lower back just above her ass.

Joel had the urge to touch her. He wasn’t sure why, but he deliberately resisted. Need was dangerous. Needing her would weaken him, and he had to be strong to keep them all safe. There were hundreds of things out there that could harm them. Besides the uncertainty of the weather and the earth itself, there were the wolves to consider, and other men.

It was nothing for a man to try and steal another man’s woman for his own. There were black market suppliers, and then there was the new group that enforced the runaway law. Leigh wasn’t a runaway, but if they caught her away from a house, they wouldn’t wait to take her and punish her. The thought of anyone whipping his woman made him angry. He had to make sure she was with one of them at all times when they went to Sky Line.

Eventually they would need to go. She needed clothes that actually fit her, and they needed supplies from some of the stores there. It wouldn’t be long before Sky Line was all scavenged out and they would have to locate one of the other towns further out. He wasn’t looking forward to that at all.

“Joel, go to sleep. You’re thinking so hard my head is hurting over here.” Jonathan’s voice startled him.

“Sorry. Good night.”

“Night.”

Chapter Eight

Leigh was the first one downstairs the next morning and rushed to the window to see out. The sun wasn’t up yet, but she could see the white blanket of snow on the porch. She was so excited she almost opened the door to touch it, but remembered the wolves before she unlocked the door. No, she would wait for one of the men.

She hurried around and made coffee, then pulled out meat to cook breakfast. They would need a hearty meal to deal with the cold and extra work of shoveling snow. Maybe they would let her help with shoveling the snow. She loved snow. They got it so rarely in the south, where she had been from.

“What’s all the noise about down here?” Joel asked in a grumpy voice.

“It’s time to get up, so don’t fuss at me.” She grinned at him like an idiot.

He frowned harder. “What?”

“It snowed! I can’t wait to make a snowman!” Leigh couldn’t contain her exuberance.

“Hell. You want to go play in it?” Joel shook his head.

“I can’t wait.” She handed him his coffee. “Here, drink this so you’ll wake up and be nice.”

“I’m nice,” he grumbled.

“Who’s nice?” Jonathan walked into the kitchen and grabbed Leigh around the waist to hoist her up for a kiss.

“You are.” She hugged him back.

“Joel doesn’t like snow,” Jonathan warned her.

“I think I figured that out.”

“Snow means more work and a greater chance of problems.”

“Can I go outside and shovel snow and make a snowman?” Leigh asked.

“Joel.” Jonathan seemed to be warning him of something.

“As long as we’re out there to watch for you, you can play all you want. You’re not staying out once we head out to the pastures, though.”

“Great!” She served them their breakfast and sat down to eat with them.

Nearly an hour later, she had all the dishes in the sink to soak and was pulling on her coat with the men. She shoved her hands into gloves, though she knew she would be taking them off to feel the snow in her hands at some point. Still, she would need them to shovel. There was no need in getting blisters.

They filed outside and Leigh immediately jumped out into it. They had approximately ten inches of snow on the ground and it was still snowing. The clouds kept the sun from illuminating the sky to some extent, but it was bright enough for her to see to play. She gathered up a ball and tossed it at Jonathan’s back. He growled at her and hit her square in the chest with one.

“No snowball fights, kids.” Joel scowled at them when one hit him on the shoulder. “We need to get to work.”
