Monroe, Marla - Their Broken Lady (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) (6 page)

“I wondered if she was wet when I kissed her at lunch. She really got into the kiss for a while.”

“I guess I can see why she’s reluctant to get involved with us considering her past. If I knew who had abused her I would teach him some manners.” Bryan liked the idea of finding him.

“I think we need to focus our attentions on treating her right and not getting revenge,” Tanner said in a dry voice.

Bryan huffed out a breath. Tanner was right, though. Making sure she was happy would go a long way in securing a spot in her affections. Now all they had to do was figure out how to make her happy and want to be around them more. He had a feeling that putting the new locks on the door wasn’t one of those ways, but it had to be done. Neither he nor Tanner could stand the idea of her living there with those flimsy locks.

“Bryan, do you think we’re coming on too strong for her considering her background?” Tanner seemed to have been thinking about it.

“Maybe, but I don’t want her to be able to shore up her defenses against us by staying away some. I think we need to break down her defenses and then shower her with love and affection. I’m sure that guy whoever he was started out nice to her. We’ve got to prove we won’t change.”

“We’ve got a long way ahead of us, then.”

“I think she’s worth it,” Bryan said.

“I do, too. I’m just worried she won’t come around. Then where will we be? I know she’s the one for us, Bryan. The idea we might lose her tears me up inside.” Tanner stood up from where he’d been sitting nursing a beer.

“I’m beat. I’m heading for a shower. I’ll see you in the morning.”

Bryan carried his empty beer bottle to the kitchen and tossed it. When he returned to head upstairs, Tanner still stood in the same place. His brother was deep in thought. He left him there and climbed the stairs to his room. He had his own bathroom, as did Tanner. Neither of them used the master suite. That was reserved for when they brought their lady home with them. Hopefully that lady would be Amber.

He stripped as soon as he walked in the bedroom then turned on the shower and adjusted the water temperature to how he liked it. Then, as soon as it was warm enough, he climbed in. After soaping up and rinsing off, he thought about Amber and her luscious pink nipples. His cock had been hard all day and was steel-hard after having been with her for the last three-and-a-half hours.

He lathered up his dick and stroked it slow and easy after squeezing the shaft at the base. Bryan imagined her hot and eager to suck his cock in her warm, wet mouth. Her pretty pink lips would surround his cock and suck on just the head until he was wild for her.

She would lick along his shaft then nibble at the underside of the mushroom cap. He began tugging on his cock a little faster. A drop of pre-cum beaded at the slit on top of his cock. He rubbed it around the cap, then pulled on it harder.

Bryan would thread his fingers though her hair as she bobbed up and down on his dick. He would stop her before she made him come and get to his knees to taste her sweet pussy. He bet she would be spicy like she was. He would lick her slit up and down then stab her with his tongue until he was fucking her cunt with it.

She’d cry out, begging for him to let her come. His hand moved faster as he reached between his legs with his other one to fondle his balls. He rolled them in his hand and lightly squeezed them. He went up on tiptoes as he grew closer to coming.

Amber’s sweet blue eyes would gaze down at him as he entered her with two fingers, then fucked her as he sucked at her clit. She’d explode around him, whimpering as she came. Bryan felt the electricity race down his spine and center in his balls as he tightened his grip on his dick and pulled harder. Cum shot out from his cock in ribbons that hit the back of the shower wall. He leaned against the wall with one hand as he slowly brought himself down, pumping his cock until he’d stripped every drop of cum he had from his cock.

He leaned against the ceramic tile for several minutes trying to catch his breath. He hadn’t come that hard in a long time. Fuck, he wanted her. How was he ever going to stand waiting? Already he was antsy just to taste her sweet pussy. He just wanted to pleasure her. He could hold off actually fucking her if she would just let him lick her cunt. Somehow he was almost sure that would be later as well.

He wondered if Tanner felt the same draw that he did. He seemed to be totally taken with her, but he was handling keeping it slow much better than Bryan was. He wished he had Tanner’s patience. Well, that was why he was a doctor and Bryan was a rancher. He grinned. He would push her, and Tanner would coddle her. Between the two of them, they should be able to keep her off-balance. Off-balance was good.

He crawled into bed and lay back with his arms crossed behind his head. He thought about her for a long time before he finally fell asleep to dream about her.

Amber tolerated the guys coming to the house for the next three days fairly well. She kept her strength up in trying to resist them, but the moment they kissed her, she lost it all once again. And they kissed her every opportunity they got.

Bryan pushed her by running his hand up her thigh and fingering her panties. She slapped his hand away but hesitated long enough that he got a finger under the edge of them. Tanner talked to her, massaging her neck as he kissed her and running a hand up and down her arm. Together they kept her off-balance.

She wanted to give in, but kept reminding herself of what would happen eventually. She didn’t want to have to leave Blue Springs. She had made a life here and enjoyed the people and the small-town atmosphere. If she let herself get sucked into their bed, before she knew it, they would become mean and the entire town would know about her business when she called the police. At least in Memphis, no one cared. It would be different in a small town.

She was glad to have the new locks, but had thrown a fit over Tanner paying for them. She insisted he let her pay, and he’d huffed out of the room, obviously upset. She was just surprised he hadn’t blown up at her for defying him.

Finally the day came she was able to drive herself to work. The men were like mother hens arriving thirty minutes before she was ready to leave. They hovered as she finished getting dressed and had brought her breakfast.

“I wanted to make sure you ate. You still need to keep your healing process going,” Tanner told her.

“Thanks for the breakfast, but you two don’t have to come over anymore. I’m well now and can take care of myself.”

“Maybe we like taking care of you, baby.” Bryan gave her a hug.

She didn’t hug him back. That would only encourage him. Why did her arms ache to close around him?
Because you’re stupid. You’re only going to get into trouble again, Amber. Put an end to it before it’s too late.

“Really, you don’t need to come back.”
I don’t want you to
hovered on her lips, but she just couldn’t say the words.

“You need to keep these numbers with you in case you run into trouble.” Tanner handed her a business card.

She flipped it over and found both of their cell numbers written there. She sighed and slipped it into her purse.

“Okay, I’m leaving now. Out, out, out.” She made a shooing motion and they moved ahead of her.

Her limp was only slightly noticeable now, thank goodness. She found when she put pressure on the gas or the brake it ached, but she made it to work without a problem. She spent the day sitting down. Everyone was sympathetic, having already heard the news of how it had happened. They also seemed to know about Bryan and Tanner’s interest in her.

“Really, they were just being kind because I didn’t have anyone to help me.” She tried to stop any gossip by talking to Elizabeth, her fellow teller at the bank.

“Honey, if those two men were paying attention to me, I’d be all over them like bees on honey. And they would be sweet honey, too.”

“I’m just not interested in dating right now.” She tried to make it clear that she wasn’t interested.

“Just don’t wait around long, honey. They’re in high demand. I’ve never been lucky enough to catch their eye, but I hear tell they take real good care of their lovers, if you know what I mean.”

Amber could guess what she was hinting at. She sighed already having a hard time keeping her mind off of them. Many more innuendos and she’d need to change her panties. She was glad when she was busy so that everyone stayed in their little windows.

Finally, the day ended and she could go home. Why wasn’t she surprised to see one of the brothers’ trucks sitting in her drive, minus the driver? She should have been furious, but she was only mildly irritated. She guessed she was getting used to them barging in. When they had the locks changed, they’d each kept a key. She wasn’t even surprised.

She climbed out of her Pathfinder and huffed out a breath and walked up to the door. With an impish grin, she rang the doorbell. Bryan answered the door. His face broke out into a wide grin when he saw that it was her.

“What are you doing out there? Come on in. Tanner is cooking a celebratory meal for your first day back at work.”

“He’s cooking in my kitchen?” she yelped. “It’s such a small thing for him to be comfortable cooking in.”

“He’s doing just fine. Come on. You need a nice hot bath to relax, and a change of clothes. It will be another hour before it’s ready.” Bryan led her through the kitchen where something smelled heavenly.

“I’ll run your bath while you undress.”

It took a minute for what he said to sink in, and by then she’d already pulled off her shoes and was unbuttoning her blouse.

“Oh, no you don’t. You get out of this bedroom right now.”

“Come on, baby. I’ve seen everything you’ve got already. There’s no need for you to be shy around me.”

“Yes, there is. We aren’t dating. Much less married.” She settled her hands on her hips.

“Well, that could be easily remedied,” he said, waggling his eyebrows. “Anyway, the water is running. You better check it.”

She watched him walk out and close the door behind him. She hurried to check the water and turned it off before it got too deep. Now what had he meant by that? What could easily be remedied? Their dating or marrying? She shivered and quickly finished undressing before he decided to come back. She climbed into the tub, remembering too late that she hadn’t locked the bathroom door. Oh well. He wouldn’t dare come in knowing she didn’t want him in there.

The nearly hot water felt wonderful on her sore ankle. Despite trying to stay off it at work all day, she’d had to walk various places several times. Then there was driving, which had been harder than the actual walking and standing had been.

She quickly bathed and then rested for a few minutes before getting out. She bent over the tub to let the water out when the door opened and Bryan walked in. Yelping, she grabbed the towel and wrapped it around her.

“Good, you’re out. I came in to help you if you had trouble,” he said straight faced.

“Right. You meant to catch me naked. You’re incorrigible, Bryan.”

“Dinner will be ready in about fifteen minutes. Need help dressing?” he asked.

“No. I can manage all by myself, thank you very much.”

Bryan sighed then chuckled. “I figured you would say that.”

She watched him turn and walk out of the bedroom, once again shutting the door behind him. Amber quickly dressed in a pair of soft lounging pants and a T-shirt. She didn’t bother with a bra since she hadn’t worn on with them around the entire time they were taking care of her.

When she walked into the kitchen she was engulfed with the mouthwatering smell of something Italian. She hummed her approval and tried to take a peak, but Tanner barred her way.

“Nope, you have to wait. Go ahead and sit at the table. I poured you a glass of wine.”
