Time to Play (23 page)

He let out a sigh leaning forward, resting his hands on his knees. “I
don’t like the thought of you with them. I think you deserve the marriage with
the white picket fence and lots of kids.”

“But?”

“But I’ve seen the way they look at you. It might not be love, but they
do care, Simone. Maybe what you need is caring to start off with, and love will
come to them.”

“I can’t believe you’re giving me advice on how to lead my life.”

“I know,” Daniel said, laughing.

“You can’t let what happened between Mom and Dad
affect
you.”

“I don’t know if I can trust myself. I never want to be like them.
Waiting at the door for them to come home smelling of another
woman’s perfume.”

Her memories were too vivid and painful to let go.

“Not all men are like that.”

“Why haven’t you found a wife?”

“Because I haven’t been looking.”
He tapped her knee as the two doors
opened. “Let yourself love, Simone. Don’t wake up in years to come alone and
wishing you’d taken that leap of faith.”

She nodded her head. “I’ll try.”

“Call me if you need me.”

“You’re not going to make me go home with you?” she asked, shocked.

“I love you,
lil
’ sis, but you’ve got two men
I don’t want in my house. Consider this my agreement to allow you to date two
men.”

He held his hands up and waved goodbye. Simone couldn’t help the laugh
that erupted inside her.

Cole and
Callum
were by her side in the next
instant.

“Are you ready to go home?”

She nodded her head.

The limousine was waiting outside for them. During the drive she leaned
against
Callum
as Cole stroked her thigh. Their
closeness helped her to ease her troubled thoughts. There was so much to talk
about, but she couldn’t bring herself to disrupt their attentions.

Callum
opened the door to the condo
helping her inside. Cole went to the kitchen while
Callum
took her to the sitting room. She sat on the couch feeling her whole body slump
in exhaustion.

“Your slap was brilliant. I love the way you shoved him off that chair,”
Callum
said.

She smiled, recalling the satisfaction at surprising John.

Cole came in carrying a tray of cups.

“I saw him, and I got so mad. He put cameras in my apartment. I’ll be
walking down the street and wondering if some guy is snickering at me because
they’ve seen me in my underwear or something else.”

Neither man spoke. She let out a frustrated sigh then grabbed her cup of
coffee. “I can’t believe he got into that much debt. Is that even possible?”

“Yes, it is possible. He needed the cash, and getting cash from the
wrong people is easy. It is paying it back that is the hard part. He was in so
much debt he used anything he could get his hands on. I don’t think it was
right, but I understand why he did it,”
Callum
said.

“It is awful.” She rubbed her arms trying to warm herself. The whole day
had been surreal to her. “I still don’t like the fact people were watching me.”

“If it makes you feel any better you were hot to watch,” Cole said.

“You saw the footage?”

“I was the one who figured it out. That day you changed in the closet, I
was putting up the blocker I had. The closet was the only place where a camera
wasn’t hiding.”

“I wish you’d told me.”

“You would have freaked out, Simone. I did what I thought was best at
the time.”

She couldn’t argue. Finding out at anytime would have freaked her out.
Cole ran a hand up her leg going under the skirt she wore.

“What do you want to do to pass the time?” he asked.

Simone felt her body heat under his touches. “What do you have in mind?”
she asked.

“I want your lips wrapped around my cock as
Callum
fucks you hard.”

Her groan eased from her lips. “We shouldn’t be thinking about sex,
should we?”

“Why not?
We caught the bad guy, a rather lame bad guy,
and we got him. We’re home. We’re alone. I think sex is the best possible
cure,”
Callum
said, taking the cup from her hand.

“You guys want me to get my clothes off.”

“That’s what we’ve always wanted.”

Simone let
herself
be picked up. Cole eased the
buttons of her shirt apart while
Callum
released the
zipper. Her clothes were gone in a matter of seconds. A harsh growl came from
behind her. His palm slapped against the naked flesh of her buttocks.

“You’re always so tempting. I want to fuck you every second of every
day,”
Callum
said against her ear and nibbled the
lobe.

Unable to speak, she cried out showing her need through her vocals.

“Her pussy is dripping wet, and look at her nipples. Rock hard and
waiting to be sucked,” Cole said.

She leaned her head on
Callum’s
shoulder,
watching what they were doing to her body.
Callum
cupped her breasts, offering the buds to Cole. Cole sucked them into his mouth
teasing each bud. When he bit down on her nipples her cries turned to all-out
screams. There was no way she could control what happened.

They were the ones in control of her body. There was nothing she could
do but feel what they did.

Simone opened
herself
up to their touch,
feeling everything they did.

“You’re wearing too many clothes,” she said. They had had her naked
within seconds while both men were still fully dressed.

“You want us naked?”
Callum
asked.

“Yes.”

“Then get us naked.”

She turned to
Callum
first, removing the
clothes from his body. She lingered over the belt of his pants loving the way
his eyes flashed a warning at her when she breathed on his erection through the
fabric.

“Don’t play with me, Simone.”

“Why? It’s time to play.”

“No. It’s time to get fucked.”
Callum
picked
her up off the floor and carried her down to his own room. She squealed when he
rained down blows on her ass as he carried her.

“Put me down,” she said, shouting at the top of her lungs.

He toppled her to the bed. Cole followed into the room grabbing condoms
from the draw before dropping them onto the bed. In amongst the pile was a
purple dildo. She picked the dildo up and licked the tip. “What do you want me to
do to you?”

“Don’t even think about it,” Cole said.

She opened her lips pushing the cock to the back of her throat. When she
thought she might gag on the toy, she pulled it out once again. Gagging would
spoil her teasing. She wanted both men to be desperate for her, not to have
visions of her throwing up.

“She’s teasing us on purpose, Cole.”

“I know. I think you should take her over your knee and spank her ass.
Have you done that to her yet?” Cole asked.

“No, I didn’t want to scare her off.”

She froze. “What are you two talking about?”

“She doesn’t know.”

“Know what?”

Callum
caught hold of her arms and hauled
her over his knees.

Cole chuckled kneeling down to where her head lay over
Callum’s
knee. “
Callum
has a
preference for spanking naughty women. I think you’ve been naughty more than
once, Simone.”

She gasped in outrage. “He wouldn’t.”

He’d spanked her ass during sex but never out of punishment.

“She needs her ass red raw.”

The blows started. Simone felt the pain of each blow to her ass along
with the pleasure from the heat.

Callum
slapped her ass, relishing the red
colour his hand print was making on her delicate flesh. His cock pulsed in his
pants,
and the need to make her his consumed him. The moment
he saw her sat in the police station looking so lost and alone an intense need
to take care of her had claimed him. Simone was a fighter.
A
big girl who was more than happy to play the game.
Inside though, she
was as delicate as fine china. If they did not tread carefully then she would
break.
Callum
didn’t want her to break. He wanted her
to come to them for everything.

You don’t want her to leave. You
want her to stay with you.

His blows stopped on her ass. He stared at his hand print, satisfied
with what he’d done.

Her body was shaking. The scent of her pussy wafted up to him. She was
turned on. He took a moment to glance at Cole. His friend sent him a strange
look.
Callum
shook his head not wanting to talk about
his feelings.

Simone hadn’t voiced
her own
. He didn’t want to
spoil the mood by revealing what he wanted from her. At the moment he didn’t
think it was love, but he knew he didn’t want to go another day without her
being in his life.

Shaking off the thoughts he pulled her into his arms, soothing her.

“You did good, baby.”

“That was horrible.”

He chuckled. Her cream was coating his thigh. He felt her wetness
seeping through the fabric of his clothing.

Cole came close and stroked the hair back from her head. “Your ass is lovely
and red, sweetheart.”

She reached round to Cole and began to unbutton his shirt. Neither spoke
while she removed the other man’s clothing.

“Don’t fuck me. Make love to me,” she said.

His heart ached for the care he wanted to give her.

Cole helped him take her to the bed. He touched her body, spending
plenty of time kissing each breast and running his hands all over her body. She
whimpered and cried out. Cole loved her body with his mouth and hands. Grabbing
a condom from the pile, he eased the latex over his length then forged inside
her body. She gasped, her eyes closing for a second. When she opened her eyes,
Callum
could not look away from the blue gaze staring at
him. He saw the conflict in her eyes. Something had changed from that morning
to now. The Simone underneath him was not the same teasing woman from earlier.
This woman wanted more from them. He knew it the moment he felt her pussy
pulsing around her cock.

There was such raw need in her eyes. He knew what she wanted and what
she was afraid to ask. Simone wanted more from them. The sex was amazing. He
knew that and loved having it with her, but now she wanted things to go deeper.

God help him. He wanted those things as well.

****

Cole witnessed the change inside Simone and
Callum
.
He knew they were finally catching on to what they both desired. Simone, for
all of her hard-headed approaches to life, still yearned for her dream as a
young girl. Cole knew he would be more than happy to give her what she craved.

Love, a family, and happiness.

After his years in
Iraq
and being at death’s door, Cole knew he was done playing the field. He’d never
cheat on her.

When
Callum
moved aside, Cole didn’t wear a condom. He wanted her naked pussy around his
cock. Thrusting inside her tight heat, he stared into her eyes. Tears shone back
at him. He knew it was on the tip of her tongue, and still, she held herself
back for fear. Seeing her father and knowing the kind of man he was, Cole knew
it would take a lot of strength for her to say what she wanted.

“Tell me, baby,” he said.

She shook her head, thrusting her
hips up to his. He took the love she silently offered. Cole knew he could wait
for her to speak the words. He wasn’t letting her go.
Callum
might chose to hide from his own feelings, but Cole was man enough to fight for
the woman he wanted.

Cole made love to her. He made his
thrusts slow and long. Every moment meant the world to him.

The moment they reached their
pinnacle, he reached for
Callum’s
hand, holding his
friend as he loved their woman.

They lay on the bed with Simone in
the middle. None of them spoke as the sexual haze began to ease. Simone fell
asleep first. Her soft sounds soothed his soul. Next,
Callum
fell asleep. Cole turned over gazing down at both of his friends. Both of them
meant the world to him. He’d give his very life to make sure they were safe.

No matter what happened in the
world, he knew his future was in that bed beside him. For the first time since
he’d gotten back from the war zone, sleep came easily to Cole. He no longer
dreamed of the battle filled with never ending rubble. In his dreams was a
woman running through a field.
A woman with raven black hair
and icy blue eyes.
Her body was full with a nicely rounded stomach.
