Shelby's Saviors [Slick Rock 7] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) (15 page)

“I just can’t stand leaving our rescue to others.”

“There’s not much you can do about it. I know how much you like to be in control, but sometimes you have to compromise.”

“You aren’t just talking about getting out of here, are you?” Cord asked quietly.

“No.”

“Have I been that bad?”

“No. You’ve been more tolerant than I’ve ever seen you before. But I don’t want you to push Shelby too far. We both know she has quite the temper on her, and I don’t want her to end up walking away because you’ve pushed her beyond her limits.”

“Don’t you think she cares enough to stick around? She hasn’t complained yet. The only time she has was about her car.”

“And even though our intentions were honorable, we should have told her how bad her car was. Instead we took it upon ourselves to keep things from her. She had every right to blow up.”

“Okay. You’re right. I’ll back off.”

“Do you think she loves us? She hasn’t even told us about the baby, and she found out days ago.” Cord sounded worried.

“Yes, she loves us. I just don’t think she’s realized it yet.”

“God, I wish she’d hurry up and tell us how she feels.”

“I know. We just need to give her a little more time. She’s had so much weight on her shoulders. Even though you were only grazed, she’s going to blame herself. Our little girl is so caring, she puts everyone else before herself.”

“And you think I’m a control freak,” Cord said, and Brandt could hear the smile in his voice.

“Well, our life is definitely not going to be boring.” Brandt chuckled quietly.

Luke’s voice came over the radio. “Brandt, stay back from the entrance. We’re about to start working our way in.”

“Thanks, Luke, we’ll be waiting.”

Brandt and Cord listened as the men outside began working to set them free. They sat with Shelby cuddled up in between them, keeping her warm. Their rescuers had to meticulously remove the rocks and detritus from the cave entry bit by bit so they wouldn’t cause another cave-in.

Three hours later, they had dug a hole large enough to admit sunlight. An hour after that, there was enough room for them to get out. Brandt gently woke Shelby, telling her it was time to go. He lifted her into his arms and carefully passed her through the opening to Luke.

As Brandt followed her out, he could hear Luke crooning to Shelby as he carried her down the incline.

“Easy there, little lady, you’re safe now.”

Cord followed him and moments later walked over to the paramedics, who had been on standby in case of injuries. After checking Shelby over, they pronounced her fit and well, besides having a badly sprained ankle with various abrasions, cuts, and bruises. The medics wrapped an ice pack around her ankle and cleaned her cuts.

Even though Shelby was covered in dirt with tear tracks making pathways down her cheeks and her hair in a wild halo about her head, to him she had never looked more beautiful. When the paramedics stood aside, Brandt leaned over and scooped her back up into his arms.

“God, Shelby, I love you so much. I was so scared when I found out Perez had taken you.”

“I love you, Brandt,” she said, hugging him tight. “I was so afraid to say those words back to you. Scared that he would win and take me from you. And then he did. The only thing I regretted was that I had never told you and Cord how I felt.”

Shelby looked up and scanned the groups of men. She frowned when she couldn’t find who she was clearly looking for.

“He’s right behind you, darlin’.” Turning around, he placed Shelby into Cord’s waiting arms. He smiled as he watched Shelby hug his brother fiercely, and then she pulled back.

“I love you so much, Cord. I was so scared when he shot you. I thought he had killed you.”

“I’m safe, baby. When I woke up and found you gone, my heart stopped in my chest. I thought I would die,” Cord said in a voice so full of emotion that it rasped. Brandt could see the moisture in his brother’s eyes.

He blinked back his own tears, walked closer to Shelby and his brother, and hugged them both.

“How about we get the hell out of here and go on home? I think we could all use a stiff drink and a shower.”

“I would love to, but I shouldn’t be drinking,” Shelby replied quietly. “I’m having a baby.”

Brandt exchanged a look with Cord and received a tiny nod from his brother.

“Sweetheart, we already know.”

“The doctor wanted to make sure we knew when we went to rescue you,” Cord added. “We’re so happy, baby.”

“I can’t wait until your body rounds out as you grow our child. We are going to be with you every step of the way, Shelby. Never doubt it.”

She blinked at them, astonished. “You already knew?”

Uh-oh
. Brandt braced himself. “You’re not mad, are you, darlin’?”

He was prepared for Shelby’s fiery nature to assert itself, but she visibly relaxed. “I wanted to be the one to tell you, but I guess I’ll get over it if we get married real soon. I want my baby to have her fathers’ name.”

Cord smiled slowly. “Are you asking us to propose, darlin’?”

“Yes.” Shelby limped away from them and folded her arms across her chest. “Right now.”

Brandt heard one of the paramedics chuckle nearby. He hadn’t pictured himself proposing to their woman in the middle of a desert, all three of them covered in dirt, but Shelby’s expression made it clear she wasn’t taking no for an answer.

He met Cord’s eye again. Moving as one, they dropped down to one knee. They each took one of Shelby’s hands.

Together, they asked, “Will you marry us?”

Tears filled her eyes, and her face was overcome with a beautiful smile. “Yes, I will.”

Brandt was back on his feet in a heartbeat. He held Shelby and felt Cord press against her back. They surrounded her with their love.

Brandt felt his face split wide. Even though they had already known Shelby was pregnant, she had finally let go to trust them with her heart, body, and soul.

Chapter Fourteen

Shelby was looking forward to tonight so much. The doctor had given her the all clear. Her ankle was one hundred percent healed and her baby was doing fine, and that meant one thing. Brandt and Cord hadn’t made love to her since she had first been injured and had made it clear that they wouldn’t risk hurting her. For weeks she had imagined how she would seduce them once she had healed.

Brandt had accompanied her to the doctor’s office, as he wanted to make sure the baby was all right after her ordeal. Even though she had the paramedics check her over once she was out of the cave, he and Cord had been a little concerned. She could now tell by the smile on his face he was feeling more relaxed.

“Are you ready to go, darlin’?”

“Yes. We’re done here. Am I going to be able to go back to work now?”

“Sure, if that’s what you want, Shelby.”

“Oh, I do. I’ve been going a little stir-crazy at having to stay home.”

“We noticed.” Brandt laughed.

“Can we drop by and see Cord before we head home?”

“Uh, Cord was going to come home for lunch today. He was going to bring something from the diner.”

Shelby held in her laughter. She could see from the heat in Brandt’s eyes that he wanted to make love to her, and since Cord never came home for lunch she suspected that her two fiancés had plans of their own. He helped her into his truck and hurried around to the driver’s side.

“That sounds nice,” she replied, glancing at her watch. “But since it’s only eleven and Cord doesn’t break for lunch until one, that gives us two hours to kill. What are we going to do to occupy ourselves?”

“You are a little minx. You know damn well I’ve already sent a text to Cord. He’s probably already halfway home.”

“God, I hope so.” Shelby groaned as she crossed her legs, trying to relieve the ache in her clit.

“Hold that thought, darlin’,” Brandt rasped and turned out of the parking lot.

They made it home in record time, and for once Shelby was glad not to have seen the two sheriffs, or Brandt might have received a ticket. Pulling up close to the steps, he helped her down from the truck and into the kitchen.

Cord was leaning against the counter sipping a mug of coffee. He perused the length of her body and gave her a heated look. Shelby glanced down to his crotch.
Oh yeah, he’s raring to go.
She didn’t need to look at Brandt, since she’d already seen how hard he was during the ride over.

“How did your appointment go, baby?”

“Well, since you’re here and ready for me, I suspect you already know the answer to that, big boy.” Shelby sauntered up to Cord, putting an extra sway in her hips, and cupped his hard cock.

Cord closed his eyes, pushed his hips further into her hand, and groaned. “You are so going to get it, baby.”

“Promise?” she asked sassily.

“Oh yeah.” Cord moved quickly, picked her up, and then raced out of the kitchen and down the hall. He lowered her feet to the floor, and between him and Brandt, they had her naked in seconds.

“On the bed, darlin’,” Brandt commanded.

Shelby kept her eyes on Cord and Brandt as she climbed up onto the bed. They had begun to undress, and she didn’t want to miss a thing. Her men peeled off their clothes so fast it was a wonder they didn’t shred them.

“You are both so beautiful. I have never seen such handsome, sexy men, and I can’t believe you’re all mine.”

“Believe it, baby. And you’re all ours.” Cord got on the bed, lay down beside her, and pulled her into his arms, staring deeply into her eyes. “I love you, Shelby.”

“I love you, Cord. Now make love with me.” She turned her head to look at Brandt as he got on the bed behind her. “I love you, Brandt.”

“Me, too, darlin’. Now just lie back and feel. We are gonna make you feel so good.”

Brandt leaned over her shoulder and kissed her. His kiss was hot, wet, and wild, like he couldn’t get enough of her taste. He slowly withdrew until he was sipping at her lips and then kissed his way down the side of her neck and across her shoulder.

Cord turned her head back to him and took her mouth with a kiss so carnal and erotic that her pussy clenched and opened, begging to be filled. His tongue was everywhere, sweeping the insides of her cheeks, over her teeth, and up to tickle the roof of her mouth before finally coming back to slide along hers.

When he pulled away, they were both panting for breath, and he eased her from her side to her back. “I want to eat you all up, baby. I crave the taste of your skin.” He paused to lick across the top of her breast and then lave his tongue over a nipple. “Mmm, so sweet,” he murmured before sucking her nipple into his mouth.

Shelby moaned as electrical pulses zinged from her breast down to her pussy, causing more cream to leak out. She cried out when Brandt leaned over her and took her other breast into his mouth. She arched up into their touch. Brandt scraped his teeth over her hardened nub, suckled her again, and then released her with a pop.

“You are so fucking responsive, darlin’. I love the little sounds you make. Don’t ever hold back, Shelby,” Brandt said in a voice breathless with need. He then leaned down to her breast once more.

Cord kissed his way down her body, stopping whenever he found one of her erogenous zones and giving it more attention. He smoothed his hands up and down the insides of her thighs, gently parting her legs. Then he settled in between them. Shelby moaned at the first lick, and Cord responded with a growl. Sliding his tongue up and down her moisture-coated folds, he bestowed pleasure upon pleasure on her.

Moving his arms, he wrapped them around her legs and with one hand parted her labial lips. Cord flicked his tongue over her clit, starting off slow and increasing the pace with every pass. Shelby sobbed with pleasure and nearly screamed when Brandt sucked one nipple while pinching the other. He bent down and began to talk in her ear.

“You are gorgeous, darlin’. Cord wants you to come in his mouth, Shelby. Don’t hold back. Give him what he wants.”

Shelby mewled when Cord released her labia and lifted his mouth away from her cunt. When he thrust two fingers into her sheath, she cried out.

“Come for me, baby. Let me drink down your juices,” he rumbled out.

Closing her eyes, she gave herself over to her men. Cord pumped his digits in and out of her pussy while laving his tongue over her clit, and Brandt sucked on her nipple. She was bombarded with sensation after sensation and knew it wouldn’t be long before she climaxed. Then Cord twisted his fingers inside her and slid them over her G-spot. Bucking her hips up, she screamed as great waves of pleasure washed over her. Her pussy continually contracted and released around Cord’s fingers as he sucked on her clit. Just as she thought the waves were over, he moved his digits in a curling motion and sent her into another orgasm.

When the pulses finally stopped, Shelby felt totally boneless and gasped for air.

“So fucking sexy. Your cum is delicious, baby,” Cord panted. “Roll her over.”
