Touching Rune (17 page)

“Yes!” Rune moaned out as she came hard around Dimitri’s fingers and mouth.

Dimitri pulled back and rose from where he had been kneeling between her legs. With one graceful stroke, he aligned his heavy cock with her slick vaginal channel and pushed through the swollen folds until he was buried as deep as he could go. He nodded to Sergei as he rolled so Rune was straddling him.

“Fuck!” Dimitri bit out. “This position has me buried so far inside her I swear I can feel her womb.”

“Just fucking wait for me before you start,” Sergei cursed out as he reached into the small built-in cabinet next to the bed and pulled out some lubricant. “She is so beautiful, Dimitri.”

Dimitri held Rune up just far enough so he could wrap his large hands around breasts, pinching her nipples between his thumb and forefinger. She bowed backwards with a harsh cry as he slowly rocked his hips back and forth. He shook from holding back his own orgasm as he watched her flushed face. Her eyes were closed and her lips were parted just enough that he could see a glimpse of her pearly white teeth. She was panting heavily as he moved in and out of her. Sergei was right. She was absolutely gorgeous.

“You better fucking hurry,
Sergei,” Dimitri choked out as he felt Rune moving in sync with him. “She is riding me and I feel like I am about to explode.”

“Rune
,

, relax for me,” Sergei ordered hoarsely as he stroked lube along his cock before he ran his hand between the crack of her ass. “Do you trust me, little one?”

Rune whimpered, arching backwards toward him. “Sergei,” she panted.

“Yes, my Rune,” Sergei whispered as he pressed his cock to the tight ring. “Take me,” he groaned as he felt the resistance before he slipped in. “Take us both.”

Rune groan and panted as a burning pain briefly replaced the pleasure. She was about to protest against the intrusion when Sergei reached around and rubbed her swollen clit at the same time as Dimitri pinched her nipples. The combination of the twin assaults caused her body to explode again. Sergei took advantage of her release to slide all the way into her. He held her hips still and gritted his teeth as he felt her body pulsing around him.

“Dimitri,” he said in a strained voice. “I am not going to last long,” he warned.

“I want her to come again before we do,” Dimitri replied looking over Rune’s shoulder when she collapsed against his chest. “She comes first.”

“She’s already come three times,” Rune’s slurred voice said. “I feel so… so… full.”

“Kiss me,
дорогая
,” Dimitri demanded, cupping her face between his palms. “Kiss me deeply.”

Rune stared down into Dimitri’s dark blue eyes for several seconds before she sealed her lips over his. It was a good thing she had otherwise everyone on the
plane would have heard her loud moan as Sergei gripped her hips and began moving at the same time as Dimitri did. The combination of one moving deeply into her while the other pulled out was overwhelming. The feel of their cocks stroking the sensitive channels of her body and filling her to overflowing pulled harsh whimpers from her as the pressure deep inside her reacted to their possessive claim on her.

She fought as the combined movements became almost painful in their intensity. Pleasure built but her climax stopped on a precipice, as if her body was waiting for one slight stroke to push her over. That stroke came when Dimitri groaned loudly against her lips as he pushed up deeply into her as he exploded deep inside her. His climax came as Sergei was burying himself into her.

“дерьмо!”
Shit!
Sergei yelled as Rune clamped down on him at the same time as he felt Dimitri releasing inside her. “Ah!” He shuddered as he emptied himself into her.

It took several minutes before either he or Dimitri could move. Sergei slowly pulled out
of Rune. The sight was so erotic that he felt his spent cock twitch as if it wanted to take her again. Her low moan told him that she felt his reaction. He rose from the bed, leaving her wrapped in Dimitri’s arms as he went into the bathroom and cleaned himself before returning with a warm washcloth and towel.

“I think she is already asleep,” Dimitri whispered as he stroked her back. “I love her, Sergei. I cannot imagine our lives without her in it.”

Sergei tenderly cleaned Rune before pulling the covers over both her and Dimitri. He tossed the towel and washcloth aside before climbing into the bed beside them and pulling Rune into his arms so Dimitri could clean up.

A soft sigh escaped Rune as Sergei wrapped one arm and his leg over her. She immediately rubbed her foot against his before settling back down. He looked over her shoulder at Dimitri who lay watching them.

“We will not allow her out of it,” Sergei murmured, rubbing her hip. “She is ours, Dimitri. I would fight heaven and hell for her.”

Dimitri briefly nodded. He slid from the bed and quickly cleaned himself before returning to the bed. He stared down at Rune wrapped tightly in Sergei’s arms.

His friend and brother still had not told Rune that he loved her. A fact that was not lost on Dimitri. He could only hope that his friend did not wait too long before he told their beautiful garden angel how much he cared for her. Dimitri knew all too well how hard but important it was to expose your heart to the possibility of pain. He had done it years before when he found a scrawny ten year old boy hiding behind the trash cans in a back alley. He had gained a family that day.

I hope we can finally have the family we always dreamed about,
he thought as he slid into the bed and felt Rune’s arms reach out to cuddle him.

Rune bit impatiently at her lip. The helicopter that brought them from the airport had landed just a few minutes before and Sergei told her that he and Dimitri had a special surprise for her. Sergei had taken the silk handkerchief from his breast pocket and tied it around her eyes. Dimitri chuckled as he picked her up. He insisted on carrying her
into the house saying he didn’t want to take a chance of her falling.

“
What is the surprise?” Rune asked for the fifth time.

“
You will see in just a moment,” Sergei teased.

“
But, can’t you give me just a hint? Is it big or small?” Rune begged. “What is it?”

Dimitri lifted her just high enough to brush a kiss across her lips.
“She is an impatient little thing, isn’t she?” He asked Sergei with a grin.

“
She certainly was last night,” Sergei replied with a wicked gleam in his eyes.

Rune blushed brightly against the white handkerchief.
“You two are lethal,” she muttered. “Who could blame me?”

Husky masculine laughter filled the chilly air. Rune tilted her head
, absorbing the beautiful sound. Her heart was filled to overflowing with love for these two men. Perhaps this is why she was given this last time, to have the chance to experience love. She pushed aside the overwhelming sadness that threatened to engulf her at the thought that she would only have a tiny taste of it. Instead, she focused on the beauty of it. Her heart ached that her sisters and brother never had the chance as well. Dalla’s marriage had been arranged and Aesa and Jorundr had been more best friends than in love.

She pulled away from her melancholy memories when she felt the warmth from the inside of the house. Dimitri slowly set her on her feet. She stood, biting her lip and trying not to bounce in excitement. She sniffed the air.
It smelled of fresh evergreen and spice.

“
Can I look now?” She asked impatiently.

Sergei gently untied the handkerchief and removed it. The sound of
her gasp echoed in the entryway. Her mouth dropped open and her eyes grew huge as she looked at the changes that had been made during their absence. Brilliant multi-colored lights were everywhere. Her eyes rose as she followed the twinkling evergreen garland up the curved archway. Twin tall thin Christmas trees stood as festive sentinels leading down the corridor.

“
Oh!” She breathed out. “This is… I’ve never….” Tears filled her eyes as she walked slowly forward. Her hand reached out to touch the silk flowers adorning the Christmas trees. She turned and looked at both men. “This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen,” she whispered, her voice choked with emotion. “Why?”

“We could not help but notice that you had a fascination with all the Christmas decorations,” Dimitri said as he walked slowly toward her.

“Not to mention your love of the Christmas specials on the television,” Sergei added with a teasing smile. “I have never seen anyone cry over a red-nose reindeer before.”

Rune sniffed and wiped the tear from her cheek. “They were being mean to him and calling him names,” she sniffed out. “And the monster wasn’t a monster at all. He turned out to be their friend and all… and all… the toys…”

Dimitri wrapped his arms around her slender form and held her tightly against him. Sergei stepped closer and ran his hand down over her hair as she sniffed and hid her face in Dimitri’s chest. Tenderness swelled inside him as she cried.

“Do you like it?” He asked softly.

Rune pulled her face out of Dimitri’s chest and nodded. “No one has ever given me such a beautiful gift. The first time I celebrated Christmas was with the children. I loved their excitement,” she said biting her lip. “I wonder…”

“What do you wonder,
мое сердце
?” Dimitri asked, brushing her hair back from her cheek.

Rune looked up at him. “I wonder if there is Christmas where I will go to when it is time for me to leave,” she whispered.

*.*.*

Rune laughed as she ducked behind a tree. She had talked the men into going outside after she toured the main part of the house. She thanked each of the servants for their wonderful hard work in turning the house into a Christmas dreamland. Dimitri and Sergei had translated most of it for her much to the surprise and delight of the servants.

“You can’t hide forever,” Dimitri growled.

“Oh yes I can,” Rune yelled as she rolled the snow she had scooped up into a ball.

“Dimitri, you take the right. I’ll take the left side,” Sergei shouted.

“Hey, no fair! You can’t team up against me,” Rune responded.

“Oh yes we can,
маленький ангел
,” Sergei called out.

Rune took off for a low wall that surrounded the outside gardens. She only made it half way before she felt a strong pair of arms circle around her, lifting her off her
feet. She turned and pushed the snowball she had made in Dimitri’s face. Laughing, they both fell into the soft snow. Sergei walked up on them as they rolled until Rune was pinned under Dimitri’s larger body.

“Do you give up?” Dimitri growled in a husky voice.

“Never,” she responded breathlessly.

Rune looked up into his dark blue eyes that were filled with laughter. She smiled as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down to kiss his cold lips. He kissed her back with a desperation that heated both of their blood.

“Dimitri,” Sergei muttered. “Let’s take this inside where it is warmer. I’m freezing my ass off! Someone put snow down the back of my coat and it is cold.”

Dimitri slowly broke the kiss with a deep sigh. “I can think of better places to make love to her than in a freezer,” he admitted, before he chuckled when Rune’s stomach growled loudly. “But, I think we need to feed her first.”

“I want to make a snow angel before we go back inside,” Rune said suddenly as Dimitri slowly stood up and held his hand out. “I’ve never made one before. The children used to make them all the time in the garden when it snowed. I loved watching them.”

Sergei’s throat tightened as he looked down at her. Her hair was spread out around her and he could swear she had a light golden glow around her. She was their angel, their gift and they would never let her go.

“Make your angel,” Dimitri murmured. “Then, we will feed you.”

Rune smiled up at them before looking up into the pale, gray sky. Thick clouds, full of precipitation, hung overhead promising additional snow before the night was over. Putting her hands by her side and her feet together, she began moving them in sweeping motions back and forth. After ten times, she lifted her hands to the men so they could help her up. Each took one hand and pulled her until she was standing. Sergei lifted her up, careful of her side, and carried her several steps away to the short wall. He set her on top of it so she could look down at the snow angel she had made.

“Oh,” she whispered before looking down at the men. “You have to stand up here as well. You need to see this!”

Sergei raised an eyebrow at Dimitri before he shrugged his shoulders and climbed up on the low stone wall. He turned on the narrow ledge and looked down. He heard Dimitri’s swift hiss as he drew in a deep breath of chilly air. On the ground before them was a perfect snow angel. Sergei and Dimitri’s eyes connected in stunned disbelief before they looked back down at the snow angel Rune had made. Long feathery wings swept out from the slender figure in the snow. The perfect indentation of feathers were clearly visible. The wings spread out almost three meters, far longer than Rune’s arms.

“Isn’t it beautiful?” She asked with a happy smile as she looked back and forth between them.

“Yes,” Sergei whispered hoarsely. “It is… amazing.”

Dimitri jumped down off the wall. He reached up and swept Rune off the low wall into his arms. He held her tightly as he turned and walked quickly back to the main house. Rune smiled at Sergei as he strode silently beside them.

“I love the gift you’ve given me,” she said suddenly. “I will always cherish it.”

“Stop it, Rune,” Dimitri snapped out.

“What?” She asked, startled by his sharp tone.

Dimitri stepped through the door leading into a small reception room. Rune shivered as the wave of warmth hit her after being outside. She gripped his arm as he set her down. She was surprised when he turned her to gaze down at her with a hot, intense stare.

“You act like you are leaving,” Dimitri bit out. “You aren’t going anywhere!”

“Dimitri,” Rune began.

“No! You will listen to me now, Rune,” Dimitri said in a hard voice. “You are not going anywhere. Do you understand me? Neither Sergei nor I will let you go.”

Rune took a step to the side of them. She stumbled back another step when Sergei stepped closer to Dimitri. His expression was just as hard and unyielding.

“You don’t understand,” she said in a low voice. “I don’t have any choice in the matter.”

“Well, this time we are making that choice,” Dimitri said through gritted teeth. “This time we say you are not going anywhere.”

Rune gazed back and forth between the two uncompromising faces. How did she tell them that she couldn’t stay? How could she help them accept that there were some things beyond even their control? She had less than ten days left. Shaking her head, she watched as the thick snowflakes that had hung heavy in the clouds began to fall outside.

“I do not want to spend the time I have with you fighting,” she replied. “Let us take each day as the gift it is meant to be. We never know when our time will come. There is no sense getting upset about something we have no control over.”

Sergei’s mouth tightened before relaxing. “Agreed,” he said, ignoring Dimitri’s furious look. “Now, I believe your stomach was growling just moments ago. How about dinner?”

Rune bit her lip and cast them a hopeful look. “And a movie?” She asked. “There is a new Christmas special coming on tonight.”

Sergei laughed and shot Dimitri a look that told him the topic was not forgotten. Dimitri gave him a brief nod to let him know that he understood they would talk later. For now, it was time to pick their battles if they hoped to win the war.

“We can eat in the den,” Dimitri suggested.

“Yes!” Rune said with a happy smile. Dancing between the two men, she looped her arms through theirs. “Can we have popcorn too?”

Both men groaned in despair realizing they should never have introduced her to the treat. She was becoming addicted to the buttery popped corn. Her laughter filled the air at their reaction.
