An Education for Amy [Men of Kinsey 3] (Siren Publishing Ménage and More) (2 page)

“One more time, little bit, or you’ll get just what you’re asking for.” Adam now pressed her up against the wall in the cloak room. She could feel how hard his body was, and her legs itched to just wrap around his hips.

“I’m sorry, Master Adam, it’s just that it’s a private matter, and I don’t want anyone to worry about me.”

“Private matter or not, it’s got you worried. And I don’t like to see that look of fear on your beautiful face. So you will tell me, now.” His voice was the harshest she’d ever heard it.

Realizing she wasn’t going to get out of telling him, she just blurted it out.

“My ex is getting out of jail in two weeks and left a message on my answering machine that he was coming to pay me a visit.”

Stepping back, Adam looked down at her with a scowl. Jordon took her hand and almost dragged her across the main room and up the stairs into their private room, his two brothers right behind them.

Amy had never seen any of them act like this before. They’d always been gentle and sweet when they spoke to her. But this was not gentle, this was alpha-male angry.

“Excuse me, Master Jordon, but I have a job to do, and pulling me into your room only makes it more difficult for me to do it,” she said through gritted teeth and turned and headed toward the door. Before she got even two steps, Ethan stood in front of her, his arms crossed over his chest, and every time she went to go around him, he stood in her way.

“What the hell has gotten into you three?” she yelled.

“That’s not a very respectful tone, little bit. I suggest you think before you speak to us like that,” Jordon said.

Amy was furious. How dare they drag her away from her desk and then get on their high horse when she gets angry about it. Taking a deep breath, she tried to calm herself down so that she could talk to them rationally.

“Listen, Master Jordon, I work here. I’m sure one of the other subs here will be more than happy to play with you, but you have no right to interfere with my job. My apologies for being disrespectful, but you shocked me by dragging me up here. I could get fired for this. Masters Dan, Ryder, and Sam don’t allow subs to play while they are on duty. This is my only source of income. I don’t have a family to turn to if I lose this job.” The longer she stayed in the room with them, the angrier she got. Her temper could get the better of her on occasion, and those three men were pushing her buttons right then.

As Adam walked over to her, she couldn’t help but notice the play of muscles underneath his T-shirt.
I wonder if they’re big all over.
Damn, she was pissed at them, and she wasn’t about to let her fantasies detract her from her ire.

“You may not understand because you have lots of family here, but I don’t. It’s just me. If I lose this job because my bosses think I’m messing around on company time, then I don’t get a reference, and I’m screwed, sir.” She didn’t want them to have any excuse to get her fired either.

“Now I’ll just go back downstairs, and we’ll forget this happened and hopefully I’ll still have a job.” Trying once again to head for the door, it was Adam who stopped her this time, lifting her right up off her feet and over his shoulder, carrying her across the room to the bed. Amy kicked and screamed, but to no avail. The door opened suddenly, and in walked three very pissed off looking Doms. Shit, she was in serious trouble now.

Dan, Ryder, and Sam Kinsey had heard from one of the Dungeon Masters that their cousins had hijacked their receptionist and whisked her off to their private room. Ryder knew how his cousins felt about Amy, but something must have happened for them to drag her off like that. As her employers, they needed to double-check to make sure she was okay. She’d been through a great deal in the last few years, and they’d always been a little protective of her. She had also become close to their wife, Tia, and if something happened to Amy while she was at the club, their balls would be in a sling.

“What the hell is going on here?” Dan asked.

“We got a report from Turk that you dragged Amy up here. She’s working tonight, so this had better be bloody important, boys, or Amy might just find herself without a job. She knows the rules about playing on company time.” Ryder loved razzing his cousins. They were only a year apart and had all grown up together. The six of them had been hell on wheels when they were teenagers.

Adam clenched his fists as he turned to his cousins. “Don’t blame Amy for this. Did you know her ex gets out of jail soon or that he’s been calling her and telling her that he’s coming for a visit?”

Ryder and his brothers crossed the room to her, with Sam saying, “Why didn’t you tell us he was getting out, Amy? And how many times has he called?”

They had been through the last of the shit with Jasper, and Ryder knew what kind of man he was. If he told her he was coming for a visit, then he wasn’t coming to apologize. He was coming to do some damage.

Jasper was a man who thought it was okay to beat on your woman. That was his way to get them to “behave” the way he wanted, which, from what they’d learned from Amy, was someone to do his bidding at all times never questioning his decisions, and if they didn’t, he’d beat them into submission.

Ryder rested his hands on her shoulders and immediately earned a growl from his cousins. Ignoring them for the moment, he focused on Amy.

“When did he call you, Amy?” he asked.

“Master Ryder, sirs, look, he’s getting out in a couple of weeks. If he shows up here, I’ll handle him. I’m not the same scared little girl that he beat the shit out of.” Standing, she continued, “You all don’t have to worry about me. I’m just fine.”

“We know that, little bit,” Jordon came up behind her and put his arms around her waist. Ryder stepped back to allow his cousin to talk to his woman.

Turning slowly in his arms, Amy looked up at him. “I’m sorry we went all barbarian on you, sugar, but the thought of him hurting you again kills us.” Adam and Ethan both came to stand on either side of her. Adam gently ran his hand over her hair, running his fingers through it until he grabbed a handful and gently turned her to look at him. He brought his mouth down on hers, demanding entrance, his tongue sliding over hers and then nipping and licking at her lips. He pulled her closer to his body, and she put her arms around his neck.

Hearing throats being cleared behind them, Amy jumped away and quickly started apologizing to her bosses. The tears she’d been fighting couldn’t be held back any longer, and she dropped to her knees in a proper submissive pose in front of Ryder, Dan, and Sam, wiping at her face to try to stem the tears.

“My apologies, sirs, I’ll pack up my desk and relinquish my locker immediately.” All three of the men just stared at her as she started to rise with her head still bowed, until she heard, “Stop right there, sub.” Sam placed a hand on her shoulder.

“You’d have to do a hell of a lot more than kiss my cousin to lose your job here, Amy. Jesus, if we ever let you go, Tia would neuter us.” He laughed and took her by the hand.

“Amy, you’re family. We’d never fire you, sweetheart. I’m sorry we upset you. We were just trying to give our cousins the kick in the ass they needed.” Sam turned her around and sent her into the arms of his cousins.

“Amy, I’m giving you the rest of the week off, and before you go all whirling dervish on me about you can’t afford it, it’s with pay. I want you to take some time to get to know these three idiots. If that kiss was any indication, I’m pretty sure you won’t mind.”

Grabbing hold of Sam’s arm, Amy said, “I can’t let you do this, sir. You and your brothers have already done so much for me. Besides, I’m sure your cousins don’t want to be forced to spend a whole week with me.”

Ethan came up behind her and, resting his hands on her shoulders, quietly spoke into her ear, “Baby, no one has to force us. We’d like nothing better than to spend some time with you.” Chills went down her spine as he continued, “You can come and stay at the ranch with us. We’ll teach you to ride, and we’ll show you all the different ways we use our ropes.”

“Sugar, I can’t wait to get you to our home and show you the really big bed we have waitin’ for you,” Jordon said, a grin covering his handsome face.

Amy turned and looked to Adam hoping that maybe he’d be able to throw some common sense into the mix, but to her chagrin, he added as a came toward her, “For the past six months we’ve been coming to the club every weekend for one reason and one reason only, to see you. You’ve been dodging and weaving us the whole time. So now you’re going to give us this week to show you exactly how good it could be between the four of us.”

“This is just crazy, Adam. I’m not the type of woman that you all are looking for. I’m damaged. I’m not like the rich girls you’re used to. I can’t get involved with anyone until I can get Jasper out of the picture. Do you not realize that he will kill anyone in his way to get to me? I won’t let any of you get hurt because of me.” She cried.

“This is no longer your decision, baby. You are coming with us for your own protection, if nothing else, and that’s my final word.”

Adam leaned forward and kissed her hard and stepped back, then Ryder, Dan, and Sam each gently placed a kiss on her forehead and, with only a raised eyebrow to their cousins, left the room. “Can someone please tell me what the hell just happened here, sirs?” Amy shrieked in anger. “Do you three even realize what Jasper could do to you? He’s not sane. He thinks that I belong to him, and if you’re standing in his way, he’s going to try to hurt you any way he can.”

Amy was frustrated because they all just stood there with their arms crossed over their chests, staring at her.

“Will one of you say something? You don’t need to do this, really! I can take care of myself.” They still just stared at her.

* * * *

Argh… fucking alpha males.
She threw up her hands over her head and stormed toward the door, hoping to get away from all of them. Why they were playing this stupid game with her, she didn’t understand. And the fact that her bosses were going along with it just infuriated her more. They all must think she was some weak-minded fool that would bow down to Jasper in fear the moment he showed up again. What she didn’t need was to spend time with Adam, Ethan, and Jordon on their ranch, alone. She didn’t think her heart would be able to handle it. Adam had said they’d only been coming to the club because of her, but surely he’d only said that so she wouldn’t lose her job. Now they were stuck with her for the next couple of weeks.

“Where the hell do you think you’re going, little bit?” Ethan’s voice rang out loud and clear. He was clearly not going to be ignored. In fact, she couldn’t ignore any of them. No matter how pissed she was with the situation, the thought of spending some time with the three brothers gave her little shivers up and down her spine and also made her panties very wet. All three of them were walking sex gods. Tall, their bodies were chiseled works of art from their exertion on the ranch. And damn it if they didn’t look great in leather.

“Look, guys,” Amy sighed, turning back to them. “There’s no way I’m going to spend a week or two out on your ranch. I’m sure any of the subs here would be happy to take my place for the week, and then you wouldn’t be putting yourself in any danger. I’ll take the week off so that the triplets think I’m at the ranch with you, and we can call it even.”

She was trying her damndest to give them an out, but they weren’t going along with the program. Under other circumstances, spending time with them at their ranch would be one of her greatest fantasies come true, but with Jasper’s threat hanging over her head, she didn’t want to be responsible for anyone else getting hurt because of his insane temper.

Amy had a sinking feeling they were not going to take her up on her offer to let them off the hook. She knew they were honorable men. She’d learned that just by watching the way they behaved while at the club.

Over the past six months, she’d noticed how much help they’d been to some of the other less experienced Dom/sub couples. They were always patient and willing to give advice on different techniques and make sure that the Dom they were working with understood how important communication was during a scene. She had never seen them with a sub themselves, though, which was strange. Maybe they hadn’t found one that they like well enough yet, which again surprised her because with the number of available female submissives that seemed to follow around behind them, they could have their pick.

Ethan stood watching the play of emotions cross Amy’s face, patiently waiting for her to either run out of steam or excuses. She was coming to the ranch whether she liked it or not, and he didn’t care if he had to hog tie her to get her there. They were not going to leave her alone for the next couple of weeks with her ex about to get out of jail and after he had threatened her, too.

“Are you through trying to talk us out of this, Amy? Because if you’re not, just let me know, and we’ll all get comfortable, because there is no way in hell you’re staying in town with Jasper coming for you,” Ethan calmly stated.

“Baby girl, no matter what you say, you’re coming back to the ranch with us tonight, so you might as well get used to the idea.” Jordan smiled at her and kissed her cheek.

“Just do as we say, and everything will be fine,” Adam grunted.
