Winning Her Racy Heart [Racy Nights 1] (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) (18 page)

Noah and Adison were right about one thing. She needed to get out in the town more often and talk to everyone. Donnie McCoy couldn't come after her. She could relax now. This was her home, and it was time to stop hiding and start living her life.

“Want some help cleaning up?” asked Noah.

“That’s really sweet, but I’m okay.” Kari needed to keep busy or she’d jump out of her skin. Even the wine hadn’t calmed her nerves. After she loaded the dishwasher, she joined the guys back in the living room.

After Kari and Alexa had talked for nearly an hour, going over every pro and con they could think of, Kari texted Noah and Adison, telling them she had something very important to discuss. She invited them to dinner at the house. Alexa was going to be out for the evening, and Kari would feel more comfortable telling them both together, and in her own home.

Kari was on her third glass of wine by the time she, Noah, and Adison had finished eating dinner. She hadn’t been this nervous when they’d gone to Maddox’s house the first time. Would they be upset that she’d waited so long to tell them?

Adison gave her an anxious look. “Kari, whatever it is you want to tell us, it’s all right. We’re here for you.”

She sat next to him on the sofa, and Noah pulled the armchair over to sit in front of her. She took a deep breath. “First of all, I’m sorry I couldn’t say anything before now. But hopefully when I tell you this you’ll understand why. Almost two years ago, I was working late one night at the shop in Manhattan. I did that a lot. I was in the back room putting away stock, and I heard something outside in the alley.”

Noah poured her another glass of wine, and she took it, giving him a quick grateful glance. “I risked a glance out the back window. A woman was trying to fight off a man. He was on top of her, and it was obvious they were having sex, and that it wasn’t consensual. I ran to the front of the stop to get my cell and call 911, and by the time I got back to the window, he was waving a gun at her.”

“Oh, Kari.” Adison pulled her close.

“It gets worse. I was trying to describe as much detail as possible for the dispatcher, but the only light in the alley was from a street lamp at the end of it. I opened the window just a bit to try and get a better look because the window had bars on it, and he heard me. He shot the woman, right there in front of me, and then he came at the window like a wild animal.”

“Shit.” Noah’s face went pale. “Did he see you?”

She nodded. “He did. I slammed the window shut and turned the lock on it just as he fired a shot toward me. It hit one of the bars. Lucky shot, the police called it. I hid under the counter until the police came. The shop was locked up, so I knew he couldn’t get in, but he’d seen me. The woman was dead when the police got there. Her name was Tangie Collier.”

“Kari, I’m so sorry,” said Adison.

“I later found out that his name was Donnie McCoy, and he knew who I was already because he’d been in the shop several times as a customer. He told the police he’d raped and killed other women, but he wouldn’t give them details or names, so they couldn’t prosecute him for any of those, but they were able to for Tangie’s rape and murder.”

“Was he convicted?” asked Noah.

“No. I gave grand jury testimony and the trial was set for next April. But just before I left New York, the apartment Alexa and I shared was ransacked. Nothing was taken. The police said it was most likely someone looking for drugs or money, but both of us always wondered if it wasn’t an associate of Donnie’s, looking for information.”

“Where was Donnie when your apartment was broken into?” asked Noah.

“Riker’s.”

“Is that why you and Alexa left?”

Kari hated lying to them, but it wasn’t her place to tell them why Alexa had fled Manhattan. “Yes.”

“Are you returning for the trial?” asked Adison.

“There isn’t going to be a trial for a long time, if ever.” Kari swallowed a large gulp of wine before she spoke again. “I got a call early this morning from the ADA. Donnie has been committed to a psych facility because he was deemed incompetent to stand trial.”

“What crap,” said Noah.

“I know. But he is incarcerated at least.”

“And if he’s deemed competent, then what?”

“A jury will decide.”

Noah placed his hands on her knees. “How do you feel about that, Kari?”

“Well, I wish the outcome had been different, but I’m glad it’s over for now. I really want to see him convicted in court one day, but at least this way I can stop looking over my shoulder, and I’m finally able to tell you two what was going on.”

Adison stroked her hair. “You must have been terrified all this time.”

“It’s been on my mind constantly. And Alexa and I can’t help but wonder if whoever broke into our apartment knew Donnie.”

“You’ve been here about five months now, right?” asked Adison. “If someone wanted to find you, he’d have been here by now. I think you’re safe.”

“I agree,” said Noah. “I don’t think you have worry about it anymore.”

“Oh, I hope so.”

Adison pulled her closer, and Kari leaned against his strong body, letting his strength and warmth help chase away her fear. It had been so long since she’d told the entire story that doing so brought back all the horror of hearing Tangie’s screams and watching the flash as Donnie shot her in cold blood. When he’d fired at the window, Kari had been convinced she’d been hit. She didn’t believe she’d ever forget those sounds or images.

But she was so relieved that they finally knew. “It’s over, isn’t it?”

“Yes. It is.” Noah took the wine glass from her and placed it on the table next to the sofa. He sat next to her and took her hands. “You’re safe here with us, Kari. Adison and I would never let anything happen to you.”

“I know you won’t. You two are so wonderful. You really are. I don’t want you to take this the wrong way, but this is just so…so different than what I had in New York. I’m not complaining about him—really I’m not. But if I could have designed a scenario—a fantasy situation for myself—this would be it.”

She squeezed Noah’s hands and leaned into Adison’s embrace. “Two Doms who let me run a business of my own, encourage my independence, and who are so amazing in the bedroom that most days I can hardly believe you two are real. But am I submissive enough for you? Is this working for both of you as well?”

“Kari, of course it is. We can hardly believe you’re real,” said Adison. “And I can’t tell you what it means to me that you gave me a chance to get to know you again.”

“I feel the same way,” said Noah. “Your submissiveness is perfect. It’s just enough, and a beautiful gift that you didn’t have to give either of us. You could have blown me off based on our past together but you didn’t. You took the time to get to know me as I am now.”

“You both deserved nothing less from me, Noah. And you’ve done the same for me, you know. You accepted me as I am now, not as I was in high school.”

Kari had to bite the inside of her mouth as soon as she finished speaking. She’d been about to tell them that she loved them. The words had been right there, ready to tumble out. But she couldn’t do that. She had no reason to believe they felt the same way, and she would be humiliated beyond reason if she said it and then found out they didn’t feel the same way. No. She had to keep that part to herself.

She’d told The Sir she loved him, and his reaction had been smug and condescending. She’d waited nine years to hear him say it and he never had—not once. She’d convinced herself that he’d shown it in a hundred little ways, but she had desperately wanted to hear the words.

There was no way she could handle that kind of rejection from either Noah or Adison. If she didn’t say anything, she’d never have to deal with it. She could hold it inside her like a beautiful secret and take it out anytime she wanted. That would have to be enough.

Noah gave her a scorching look, and Kari shivered. “Is Alexa coming back tonight?”

“I don’t know. Why?”

The grin he gave her sent a wave of desire through her body. It was such a relief to have told them and to know she was finally safe from Donnie. Nothing bad would happen now. She was here with Noah and Adison, and she wanted to make love to both of them. She needed to hold them and draw strength from them right now. They’d chase away the demons she’d lived with for so long.

“Why? Because I have a wicked idea, that’s why.”

“I can’t wait to hear this,” said Adison, stroking Kari’s back.

“Come with me then.” Noah pulled her to her feet and led Kari to her bathroom. He pulled her into his arms and nuzzled her neck. “Did you know I have a fetish for claw-foot tubs?”

“Do you really?” Kari giggled as he kissed her neck. All either of them had to do was look at her and she wanted them. No man had ever aroused her as much as each of them did.

“We won’t all fit in it,” said Adison.

“We will if we stand in it under the shower.”

“Oh, good idea, Noah.” Adison moved behind Kari and ran his hands slowly down her back and over her ass. “I think Kari could use some soap and water therapy after everything she’s been through.”

Noah removed her sweater and kissed both breasts through her bra. “Oh, I agree. Water has healing properties, after all.”

“That’s true. It does.” Adison removed her bra and caressed her breasts, teasing her nipples with his thumbs the way she loved.

Kari sighed as a shiver ran through her. It was truly over, and her Doms weren’t upset with her for not telling them. They were supportive and understanding and so damn sexy she could hardly stand on her own two feet right now.

Noah reached over and turned on the water while Adison slid down Kari’s skirt and panties. She was already barefoot. Noah removed his clothes while his gaze traveled over Kari’s body. “You’re so beautiful.” His voice was soft and almost reverent.

“Thank you, Noah.” Kari was overcome with emotion. Noah took her hand and they stepped into the tub. As he pulled her into his arms under the warm water, Adison removed his clothes. She watched him, their eyes locked, and wondered if he was thinking of their stolen fucking in the hotel bathroom the night of the concert.

Adison stepped in behind her and Kari moaned loudly as he pressed up against her. His dick was already slick with pre-cum. Noah kissed her rough and deep, and Kari clung to his broad shoulders. Adison massaged her ass cheeks, and then gave each one a good hard smack.

Noah released the kiss and picked up Kari’s bath brush. His grin made her pussy contract in tiny spasms. “How convenient.” He grabbed her around the waist and bent her over. Adison supported her torso as Noah spanked her ass with the bath brush. “This is for not telling us sooner.”

Kari cried out in pain and pleasure. She knew that Noah had just said that as an excuse to paddle her, and she loved it that he always found one, even if it was only a tease. It made her feel as if she’d earned the spanking, and that aroused her even more.

The brush was wooden, and it stung like crazy, but in a matter of seconds her pussy was soaked. Adison nuzzled her neck and whispered words of encouragement as Noah continued to paddle her. She lost count of the number of strikes, and when he finally stopped, she thought that would be it, but her Doms had other plans.

“On your knees.” Noah’s command was enough to almost bring on her orgasm. She knelt in front of him and didn’t wait for him to tell her to open her mouth. His dick was dripping wet and throbbing, and Kari knew his climax was close. That excited her beyond reason.

She thoroughly enjoyed giving both men blow jobs, and she moaned in the back of her throat when Adison held her head still so she was forced to take as much of Noah as he put into her mouth. She loved it when one of them did that. It made her feel owned and completely controlled by them, and she craved that. Noah came inside her mouth quickly, crying out as hot cum shot against the back of her throat.

Before she could catch her breath, Adison told her to bend over and place her hands on the side of the tub. He held her down with one hand on her back and paddled her with the bath brush. His blows were harder than Noah’s had been, and soon Kari’s ass was on fire.

“Does that hurt, Kari?”

“Yes, sir,” she whispered.

“You’ve earned it, you know,” said Noah.

A strong wave of desire raced through her body. “I know I have. Thank you, sir.”

“We can’t help it,” said Adison. “Your ass is just too fucking perfect.”

“So is her mouth.” Noah stroked her hair as Adison spanked her.

He stopped, and both men caressed her ass cheeks and hair. When he started again, Kari planted her feet to keep from falling over. Noah reached under and twisted her nipples between his finger, and Kari cried out. Her orgasm was so close.

When Adison finally stopped, they both helped her stand and Adison pulled her into arms, stroking her hair and whispering into her ear. Kari heard the sound of shower gel being squeezed out of the bottle, and she turned her head to see Noah fill his hand with it. He gave her a molten look of pure lust, then grabbed her ass and massaged the gel into the wounds he and Adison had just made.

She sighed and relaxed into Adison’s embrace as Noah spread her ass cheeks and rubbed shower gel from the opening to her anus all the way to her clit. Kari wanted to help him, but she knew better. That would earn her more swats, and she was pretty sore already. Plus, she was really enjoying what Noah was doing to her. She was very close to coming.

Adison released his hold on her and poured gel into his hands, and then massaged her breasts as Noah continued torturing her ass and pussy with long, slow, wet strokes. “Come on, Kari,” he whispered. “You can do it. We love to watch you come.”

That was all it took. Kari’s orgasm was slow, made even more intense by the fact neither man stopped stroking her. When they finally did, Adison ordered her to sit on the edge of the tub. Noah stood next to her and grabbed her hair, forcing her head to keep still while Adison slid his dick inside. She sucked him as hard as she could, welcoming his rough thrusts.

She wanted to be taken rough and hard by them both tonight. She needed to erase the pain and fear of the past two years—wanted to channel it into her mouth, her pussy, and her breasts for them to use for their own selfish pleasure.
