Passion, Victoria 5: Nikki's Awakening (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) Read online

  Tony and Bear thrust in and out of her body alternately. As one pulled out, the other pushed back in. They started off slowly and increased their rhythm with each thrust, until they were pounding in and out of her body. Colt moved in closer to her and slid his hand down her stomach, until he reached the top of her slit. He began to swirl the pad of his finger around her clit, being careful not to touch his brother.

  “Oh yeah. She likes that, Colt. Her walls clamped down on our cocks. Keep doing it. Make her come,” Tony gasped.

  He bent down and took her mouth with his. He tangled his tongue around hers and guided it into his mouth and then closed his lips and suckled on her tongue. She yelled into his mouth as her walls and muscles clamped down on his and Bear’s cocks. The pleasure was so intense she nearly blacked out. Tony lifted his mouth from hers and she gasped. She began chanting as her body shook, quavered, and shuddered as rapture washed over her.

  “I love you. God, I love you all, so much. I love you. Love you, love you,” Nikki chanted as her orgasm consumed her. She was vaguely aware of Bear and Tony roaring out their release with her. Stars exploded behind her eyelids as tears coursed down her cheeks. She slumped down against Tony’s chest and she panted for breath as the bliss began to wane.

  Oh God, what had she done? She was lost. She knew they wouldn’t let her escape now. Nikki had declared her love for the three men as she climaxed. Hopefully they would think it was in the passion of the moment, but she had a feeling they knew her better than she knew herself.

  Nikki was too afraid to open her eyes and see her lovers’ lack of emotion. She knew they wanted her, maybe even needed her, but none of them had told her they loved her.

  Brandon slowly eased his depleting cock from her arse and stroked her soothingly as she moaned in protest. He moved off to the side of the bed and picked her up, helping her to disentangle her body from Tony’s. He held her high against his massive chest and walked toward the adjoining bathroom and sat down on the side of the large spa bath with Nikki on his lap. He reached over, put the plug in the tub and turned on the faucets.

  Nikki still hadn’t opened her eyes and she could feel the tension building in Bear’s muscles and only hoped he wouldn’t be able to feel her anxiety with his empathic psychic abilities. How the hell am I going to survive any of this if they can feel my emotions?

  “Nikki, look at me, baby,” Bear demanded and tilted her chin up with the tip of a finger.

  Nikki opened her eyes and stared into Brandon’s. He looked worried and she wondered what was going through his mind. When she couldn’t bear the silence another second she asked her questions and cursed the tremble she heard in her own voice. “What do you want from me? I’ve given you everything I have. Do you want my soul as well?”

  “Ah, baby, you have nothing to be afraid of. Don’t you realize why we did what we did? We love you, Nikki. You complete us, baby. We have never felt this way for any other woman. Surely you don’t think we did this just for physical reasons? Think about it, Nikki. We could have done this with any woman if all we wanted was to scratch an itch. You are the light of our lives.” Brandon’s voice was full of emotion and sincerity.

  “Do you really, Brandon? How can you be so sure?” Nikki asked. The walls around her heart were falling and melting at a rapid pace until they were nearly all gone, but she had to be really sure they weren’t just taking her for a ride.

  “Do you really think we go around pursuing women the way we did you? How can you doubt our feelings, little girl?” Tony’s voice drew her gaze. He was leaning against the frame of the open bathroom door.

  Colt gave Tony a shove and they both moved further into the room. “Sweetheart, this is the first time we have ever done anything like this in our lives. Sure, we’ve shared women before and played dominants to their submissive, but they always knew it was a temporary thing or for one night only. We have never, ever pursued a woman like we have you. We love you, Nikki, more than our own lives. We want you here with us for the rest of our lives.” Colt stared into her eyes.

  “Oh God.” Nikki sobbed, then covered her mouth with her hand trying to contain her emotions. “I love you all so much.” She reiterated and held her arms wide.

  Colt and Tony moved toward her as she perched on Bear’s lap. She hugged them with her arms as Bear hugged her back. She felt her heart overflow with warmth as joy coursed through her and obliterated the last of the walls surrounding her heart. She cried with happiness, surrounded by the men she loved and who loved her in return.

  * * * *

  Brandon felt the last vestiges of her reluctance disappear and the joy and love for them that Nikki was feeling. He conveyed those emotions to his brothers as they hugged one another. Tony and Colt looked up at him and he could see and feel their elation and love for their petite woman.

  Life was only going to get better now they finally had their Nikki where they wanted her.

  Chapter Eight

  Nikki flopped on the sofa between Brandon and Colt. She’d just shared a meal with her men and after a long day at the gallery she was tired. Tony was cleaning up the kitchen and when she’d offered to help he’d told her to go and relax. Bear wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her up against his body. Nikki sighed and snuggled into his chest. She loved his scent. In fact she loved the way all her men smelled and the way she could feel his hard muscles against her cheek, breast and arm.

  “Are you okay, baby?” Brandon asked.

  “Yeah. Just a little tired.”

  Colt moved in closer next to her until his body was touching hers, too. “Did you have a hard day at work, sweetheart?”

  “Not really, just busy organizing for another art showing. There is so much to do to set up a showing. If it wasn’t for James I would never get through everything.”

  “I’m glad you have him to help you, baby. He’s a nice kid,” Brandon said.

  Nikki moved back from him a bit so she could see his face. “He’s not that much younger than I am.”

  “That may be, honey, but you’ve had more life experience than he has. It shows through in your maturity.” Colt kissed the back of her neck and Nikki shivered with awareness.

  “Where are your parents, baby? Do they live close by?” Bear asked.

  “No,” Nikki sighed and then went on to explain about her deceased father and her gold-digging mother.

  “Maybe she’ll understand one day that you need your independence.” Colt caressed up and down her arm.

  “I hope so,” Nikki whispered.

  “Did you like being in the Air Force? What did you do while serving our country?”

  “We got to fly fighter jets.” Brandon grinned at her and Nikki smiled back.

  “You must have seen some bad things, too?” Nikki asked more than stated.

  “Yeah, but you don’t need to hear about any of that, baby.”

  Nikki palmed Brandon’s face between her hands. “You don’t need to hold things back from me. If you ever need to talk”—she glanced at Colt and then back to Bear again—“please don’t hesitate to tell me things.”

  “You are so damn precious.” Brandon rested his forehead against hers. “We knew you were hiding your big heart beneath all those smart remarks.”

  “Yeah well, you three got me pretty good.” Nikki smiled and let them both see the love she felt for them.

  “Do you know how sexy you are, sweetheart?” Colt whispered against her neck and then nibbled and licked his way up and down her skin.

  Nikki shook her head and then laid her cheek on Bear’s chest again. Bear nudged Colt aside and then he picked her up and placed her on his lap, so that she was straddling his hips and legs but facing him. He placed a finger beneath her chin and nudged her head up so that she was looking him in the eye.

  “Your eyes are the most mesmerizing, astounding color I’ve ever seen. You have the cutest little nose and a gorgeous face. But what gets me hard every time I look at you, are your lips. They’re a perf
ect cupid’s bow and that full bottom lip just looks like it’s begging to be kissed.” Brandon suited action to his words and placed a soft kiss on her lips.

  Colt shifted closer until he was touching her arm again and whispered against her ear. “You smell so damn good all the time. I just want to eat you up.”

  “Oh God.” Nikki moaned when Colt nipped her earlobe.

  “Hey,” Tony said as he walked into the living room. “Nikki’s tired and needs to relax.”

  “We know how to relax her real good, bro,” Colt said and smirked at Tony.

  “Back off,” Tony said in a hard voice. “Can’t you see from the dark marks under her eyes that she’s too tired?”

  “I’m fine,” Nikki said and even though she appreciated that Tony was just trying to look after her, she didn’t want to get Bear and Colt into trouble because of her.

  “No you’re not.” Tony walked up behind her and scooped her off of Bear’s lap and into his arms. “You need to rest tonight. We’ve kept you up night after night making love to you. Tonight we just snuggle.”

  Tony sat down in the recliner chair and placed her on his lap.

  “You can be such a hard arse,” Nikki said.

  “Yes I can. Get used to it,” Tony smirked and then gently pushed her head down onto his chest. “Colt, put a movie on.”

  Colt got up from his seat, selected a movie, and then hit play. Nikki only saw the first five minutes of the movie before she fell asleep.

  She stayed at the Spencer brothers’ house every night and loved waking up with them every morning. The more time she spent with them the more deeply she fell in love with them.

  They were all dominant men but Brandon seemed more compassionate than his older brothers. She’d learned the hard way that he could be just as arrogant as Tony and Colt.

  One morning she awoke before her men and had decided to get the coffee started so it was ready when they woke up, but the container they kept their grounds in had been empty. Nikki had gone searching for a new packet and when she’d spied it on the top shelf of the pantry had pulled a kitchen chair over so she could reach it. She hadn’t even realized that her feet had been on the edge of the chair as she grabbed the packet and if it hadn’t been for Bear coming into the kitchen and seeing her precarious perch she may have ended up seriously hurt.

  After he lifted her down he’d chewed her out and she’d ended up over his knee and gotten her arse spanked. Of course it had turned into a love-making session with all three of her men and she’d had to rush to get to work on time.

  Colt was just as hard as Tony but he could be playful too. One night she played a game of poker with him but instead of using chips for betting he’d decided that the stakes would be their clothes. She’d lost, of course, and had ended the evening being thoroughly loved by all three of her men but only after Colt had made love to her first. He’d been so intense while loving her that she’d ended up crying afterward.

  All three men had so much more depth than they let people see. She realized that they let her see into their souls and she would never do anything to betray their trust or hurt them.

  And when Nikki had had to do a showing one Saturday morning her men had gone to work with her. Tony had looked about him with his hands on his hips and then met her gaze. “Tell us what you want done, little girl.”

  By the time she’d opened the doors to the gallery at ten o’clock she realized she’d hardly had to lift a finger and her men had blended into the background while she did her thing. It had been another successful showing and when she’d closed the doors at 1pm every piece of art she’d shown had been sold.

  “You are such a great businesswoman, Nikki. You amaze me,” Tony said and snagged an arm around her waist, before kissing her senseless. But what made her heart fill with love and joy was the fact that her men supported her career and didn’t care that she was too tired to cook a meal or put the wash on. The four of them had a real partnership going and even though her men put their foot down if she was in danger of hurting herself, there was no dictatorship going on.

  After everything had been turned off in the gallery Nikki had led them upstairs to her apartment and made them all a cup of coffee. Tony had taken a sip from his mug and then stared at her and had frowned as if he was trying to get up the courage to ask her something, and she began to get a little nervous. Colt and Bear had reached over and taken her hands in theirs.

  “Move in with us,” Tony blurted out.

  “Was that a question or a command?” Nikki had asked and then to her amazement she’d seen a red hue tinging Tony’s cheeks and both Colt and Bear had glared at him.

  “What our insensitive brother should have said was, ‘Nikki, we love you so much and would be honored if you would agree to move in with us,’” Bear said.

  Nikki had felt a smile on her lips but fought so it wouldn’t show but when Tony said, “What he said,” she’d burst out laughing. Once she had her humor under control she answered, “I would love to move in with you all.”

  “Thank God for that,” Tony muttered and then her three men had helped her pack up all her clothes and personal belongings and she hadn’t looked back since.

  * * * *

  Life for Nikki had never been better. She had moved from her apartment above the gallery and was now living with her three men. The gallery was doing great and she was turning over a huge amount of cash thanks to Tasha and a few more talented local artists.

  James was now leasing her apartment at a very reasonable price and was able to open the gallery for her if she was late or just decided she wanted to spend time with her men or take the day off. He was such a great assistant. She couldn’t have chosen any better. He was reliable and loved his job. Six weeks had passed since she had told her men she loved them and they had told her the same. She had told them about Bob and her mother and her new rich husband and their ideas that a woman should stay home barefoot and pregnant. They had been so angry over Bob but had scoffed over her fears of having to give up her passion. Tony, Colt, and Bear had encouraged her to work for as long as she was happy to and had even offered to help her again if she wanted to set up a franchise. She loved them even more for that but had told them she was more than happy with her little gallery. She was so ecstatic she felt like she could burst.

  After packing up her things, she glanced over at James.

  “I have to leave now or I will be late to my appointment. Are you sure you don’t mind locking up?”

  “I’m sure. Stop trying to control everything, Nikki. I’m not a kid.” James replied with a smile.

  “I know. Sorry, I’m trying to curb my controlling ways, but it’s hard, ya know.”

  James nodded and waved as she moved toward the front door. She looked back over her shoulder, gave him another smile, and waved good-bye and rushed to her car hoping to get another artist to sign up for a showing at the gallery.

  * * * *

  James was finishing up the last of the paperwork when the bell over the door gave a tinkle, indicating a customer. He looked up from the desk to see a tall, lithe man walk in through the door. James stood and walked over to the greet him.

  “Hello. May I help you with something?” he asked courteously.

  “Yeah, you can tell me where Nikki is.” The stranger demanded.

  “Well, she had an appointment this afternoon and is going home instead of coming back today. I could leave a message for her if you’d like,” James said cautiously. Something about the man rubbed him up the wrong way.

  “Nah, I’ll come back tomorrow. She will be in tomorrow, I presume,” he stated.

  “Yes, as far as I know.”

  “I’ll be back then,” the stranger said and left.

  James watched the man until he disappeared from sight. There was just something not quite right about the guy, but he couldn’t say why he felt that way. With a shrug he got back to work.

  * * * *

  Nikki arrived at the gallery the next morning b
efore James had even come downstairs. She had everything set up. The paintings were dusted and she was in the process of opening the front door to the public when James appeared on the stairs.

  “Morning,” James said around his hand as he yawned.

  “Morning, you look like you should still be in bed.” Nikki smiled.

  “No, I’m just not awake yet, haven’t had my morning coffee,” James replied. “I’ll put the kettle on. Do you want a cup?”

  “Stupid question. I always want coffee first thing in the morning. I’d thought you’d have that figured that out by now.”

  “Yeah, I know, sorry. I told you I wasn’t awake yet.” James headed to the kitchen out back.

  Nikki heard the tinkle of the door indicating a customer and turned to greet them with a smile. She froze on the spot when she saw the man stalking toward her. Adrenaline and instinct kicked in and she began to back away from him. She couldn’t believe he was here. The last time she had seen him had been when she’d testified against him and he’d ended up in jail.

  “What are you doing here?” Nikki asked, trying to control her wobbly voice so he wouldn’t know she was scared.

  “I’ve come for you, Nikki. You know we belong together. I told you no one breaks up with me. I know you still love me, Nikki. I can’t let you go.”

  “You’re crazy if you think I want anything to do with you. I didn’t love you then and I don’t love you now. Please leave or I’ll call the police.” Nikki backed away.

  “Oh, I don’t think so, honey. You’re coming back home where you belong,” he said and lunged for her.

  Nikki was ready. She moved so fast she hoped she surprised him. She had him in a hold and flipped him over onto his back on the floor before he could even so much as blink.

  “I told you that I never wanted to see you again, Bob Hackett. Now I suggest you get up and leave before I call the police and have you arrested for stalking.” Nikki stood firm with her hands on her hips. She was so furious that he had been able to scare her again. She was panting heavily and adrenaline was coursing through her body as she glared down at the sick bastard on her floor. She felt satisfied that she had not given in to her fear. This is what she had been training for and now she knew she could take care of herself, her fear began to recede.
