Passion, Victoria 2: Toni's Reluctance (Siren Publishing Ménage Everlasting) Read online

  Toni pulled her mouth from Jack’s cock with a slurping sound and yelled with frustration. “I am not made of glass, Ben. I need all of you in me, now. Please?”

  “I don’t want to hurt you, baby, you’re so tight.” Ben clenched his jaw.

  “Do you think I would be doing this if I thought you would hurt me? Just fuck me,” Toni demanded.

  Ben unleashed his control, moved back slightly and slammed in until his balls were flush with her ass. He held still when Toni cried out.

  “I’m sorry, baby, I didn’t want to hurt you.”

  “You are not hurting me, Ben. It’s too much pleasure, I can’t take any more.”

  Ben sighed with relief and smiled down at her as he stared into her passion glazed eyes. “Yes you can, baby. We’ve only just started. We are going to make you feel so good.”

  He held still giving her time to adjust to his size, also, so Jack could get his cock back into her mouth. When Toni was once more into a rhythm both Jack and she were comfortable with, he withdrew his cock until just the tip was inside her and then he pressed back in. He set up a slow easy rhythm until he felt her internal muscles ease and his access into her body got easier. He increased his pace with each forward momentum until the sound of their bodies slapping together echoed throughout the room.

  “Toni, let me go. I’m gonna come, sugar,” Jack moaned.

  Toni moved her hand up between Jack’s legs, took his balls into the palm of her hand and gently massaged him while she sucked him in hard, not relinquishing him from her mouth.

  “Toni, I’m gonna come now,” Jack tipped his head back and roared as his cock spewed its load down her throat. She licked, sucked and swallowed until Jack’s legs began to shake and he went limp in her mouth.

  “You’re such a bad girl, sugar. You’re going to pay for not doing as you were told,” Jack whispered but Ben heard every word.

  Ben was slamming into her now and he could feel the muscles of her pussy quivering as they bound tighter and tighter into a coil. She was going to break.

  “Oh! Ah! Ben, I’m gonna…”

  “Oh yeah! Come on, baby. Come for me. Milk my cock,” Ben groaned.

  Toni screamed as the coil snapped and she plummeted over the edge of the cliff with orgasm. Her body shook and quaked, squeezing and releasing his cock hard and fast. The tingles at the base of his spine warned of his own impending release.

  “Fuck yeah. That’s it, babe, soak me with your cum. My turn.” Ben tipped his head back and yelled out his release. He fell on top of her, being careful not to crush her small body with his large frame as he panted for air and tried to calm his ragged breathing. When he could breathe again without gasping, he leaned down and placed a kiss on Toni’s lips. He had to bite his tongue so he wouldn’t blurt out those three words he was longing to say in case he scared her away. It was really hard to hold them back.

  He and Jack had known the first time they set eyes on her that she was special. The one woman meant for them. They’d been going into her shop ever since courting her and trying to get her to go out with them but she had thwarted them at every turn. Well, he wasn’t putting up with that any longer. He had her right where he wanted her and he wasn’t about to let her go. Never again!

  “You’re so sexy, baby.” Ben withdrew his half-flaccid cock from her body. He moved over to the bin in the corner of the kitchen and disposed of the used condom. When he turned back Toni was sitting up on the table and trying to wiggle her arse off so she could stand. Jack picked her up and helped her to her feet holding her steady as she wobbled on legs none too steady.

  * * * *

  Toni couldn’t believe what she had just done. They were supposed to be dating first before they started with the physical side of the relationship. She kept her eyes lowered as she groped the floor for her clothes. She quickly pulled her panties and bra on then slid into her jeans and shirt. She found one shoe but couldn’t see the other so she got down on her hands and knees until she spied it under the table. She reached out, grabbed it, then slammed it onto her foot.

  She eyed her purse and keys on the far counter, not knowing how they had gotten over there. She walked over and retrieved them. Keeping her head down as her face flamed with embarrassment she headed for the back door. She didn’t get very far. A hard, warm male arm wrapped around her waist preventing her escape.

  “Where do you think you’re going, baby?” Ben asked.

  “Home. Tasha will start worrying if I don’t show up soon,” she mumbled, still looking at the floor. Toni had only ever had sex with one man, her one and only ex-boyfriend, and it had taken six months before she’d consented to become intimate with him. For her to have sex with two men without ever having been on a date first ate away at her conscience.

  Ben lifted her from her feet with one arm and swung around until they were facing Jack. His front was pressed against her back and since her feet were no longer on the floor so she couldn’t leave. Jack walked over to them, placed a finger underneath her chin and tilted her head up so he could look into her eyes. She looked away when her face heated and knew that her face must be bright red.

  “What’s wrong, Toni? Why are you embarrassed because we made love?”

  “We had sex, Jack! We didn’t make love and I have never had sex with anyone without having a date first. Why do you think I’m embarrassed?” she asked facetiously, giving him a good glare.

  “You have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, sugar. I know none of us planned for this to happen but it did and you can’t turn back the clock. You are the one who wanted us to make love with you. We lost control, so sue us for being human, but I know we all wanted this to happen and it was just a matter of time. Don’t feel ashamed of something we shared that was so beautiful.”

  “I can’t. Don’t you see? I’ve only ever had sex once and it took me six months to take that step. We don’t know each other properly. We haven’t even had one date but we had sex on a table in the back room of your store. I never do things like that. It’s not me.” Toni blinked as tears pricked the back of her eyes. She blinked rapidly, trying to stop them from forming further and seeping down her cheeks.

  “Contrary to what you may think of us, we don’t go around having sex without going out with a woman first, either. Doesn’t that show you that the passion we share was meant to be? That we were all made for each other and a relationship between the three of us is imminent?” Jack asked.

  “I don’t know. I just don’t know what to think. Please, you need to let me leave. I need to get home or Tasha will send out a search party,” Toni finally looked directly into his eyes.

  “We’ll let you go for now, baby, but don’t think this is over or that we’ll let you run from us. We are meant to be together and you are not going to keep us away,” Ben stated. He leaned down and placed a kiss on her temple. He gently extricated his arm from around her waist and opened the back door for her. She felt their eyes on her all the way across the road and as she walked the length of the small alleyway. It wasn’t until she was in her car that she sighed with relief and could relax.

  * * * *

  “We have to give her time to get her head around what happened here, Jack. You and I both know deep down she cares for us, but she is fighting it. We’ll just have to wear her down until she becomes more acquiescent to the idea of a relationship with us.”

  “Yeah I know. We shouldn’t have lost control like we did. We just got her to agree to date us and now she’s running scared, again. What I’d like to know is what the hell she is so scared of.” Jack sounded as frustrated as Ben felt.

  “Me, too, bro, me, too. We’re just going to have to be patient and hope to God she breaks down and talks to us.” But Ben knew in his heart that she was going to fight them every step of the way. It wasn’t going to be easy, but hopefully she would eventually open up to them.

  Ben couldn’t wait to have Toni back in his arms.

  Chapter Four

  Toni hurried
in the door of the house she shared with Natasha and gave a sigh of relief when she realized she still wasn’t home. She rushed into her bedroom, stripped her clothes off and walked into her adjoining bathroom. She stepped into the shower, scrubbed her hair and body until all traces of her sex session were removed. She got out and dried off, dressed in a clean pair of jeans and shirt, combed out her hair and was in the kitchen just as her sister walked in the front door.

  “Hey, Tash, did you win?” Toni grabbed a bottle wine out of the fridge and popped the cork.

  “Yeah we creamed them, but they were a great bunch of girls and we all had fun.”

  “Glad to hear it. So what do you think about Sean Gallagher and his brother?”

  “They are really hot, sexy men, why?”

  “Mm, just wondering. What’s Sean’s brother’s name?”

  “Jason. Why all the interest, sis?”

  “Well, I thought Sean was really nice, too, and so handsome and sexy. My God did you see his eyes? They were wicked enough to make a woman cream her panties,” Toni said with mock innocence.

  “Maybe, if you like the macho type. I thought you were panting after the Landon brothers?” Tasha asked with a scowl.

  “I am but it doesn’t mean I can’t look at any other sexy man. I’d have to be dead to stop looking at handsome men,” Toni baited, trying to keep the smile from her face as her sister glared at her. Oh yeah. If the two Gallagher men decided to move their catering operation to Passion, she was in for one hell of a show, she couldn’t wait. Maybe that would help her keep her mind off the two men pursuing her.

  “I was thinking we could have stir fry for dinner. What do you think, Toni?”

  “Sounds good to me.”

  The two sisters set about preparing the vegetables for their evening meal and then cut up some lean chicken into small pieces. Toni got the wok out and placed it on the burner to heat. When she had it smoking she added some olive oil to season the pan. The girls worked in companionable silence until their meal was ready. Tasha poured them each a glass of wine and they took their meals into their living room to watch some TV.

  They had just finished eating when a knock sounded on the door. Toni rose from the sofa to answer the summons.

  “Hi, Toni,” her thirty-something, creepy neighbor said as he leered down at her. “I was wondering if I could borrow a cup of sugar.”

  “Sure,” Toni replied as she took the cup from his beefy hand and turned toward the kitchen. She didn’t look behind her, as she hadn’t asked him in, she expected him to wait at the front door. She retrieved the sugar and was surprised when she turned back around to find him standing behind her in their kitchen.

  “Here you go,” Toni said as she shoved the cup into his hand, skirted his large beefy body and led the way back to the front door through the living room.

  “Hi, Tasha,” Neville said when he saw her sister seated on the sofa.

  “Neville,” Tasha replied.

  Toni began to feel very uncomfortable as he looked from her to Tasha and back to her again. She didn’t like the leer on his face.

  “Was there anything else, Neville?” Toni asked abruptly.

  “Uh no. Thanks for the sugar,” he replied as he walked to the door.

  “Bye,” Toni said loudly, hoping he’d get the hint and not come back. She quickly closed and locked the door after him. “Good riddance, creep,” she muttered under her breath as she shivered.

  “Well, that was scary,” Tasha said.

  “Yeah I know. He gives me the willies. My flesh crawls whenever I see him. There is something not quite right with that man.”

  “Yeah I know what you mean. Let’s get cleaned up so I can go have a shower, I probably stink of sweat,” Tasha shrugged.

  “Yeah you do. Poo wee.” Toni grinned and held her nose.

  Tasha just laughed and they set about putting the kitchen back to rights. Once done her sister took off to her bedroom and adjoining bathroom to shower and change.

  Toni was sitting on the sofa watching the late news when she returned to the living room.

  “So, when are you going to put the Landon brothers out of their misery and go out with them, Toni?” Tasha asked as she sat down on the sofa.

  Toni felt her cheeks turn red as the scene of the afternoon played through her mind.

  “Oh, my God. You’re blushing. What have you done?” Tasha asked suspiciously.

  “Um, well, I sort of got hauled over Jack’s shoulder this afternoon into their shop.”

  “From the tinge on your cheeks that’s not all that happened. Give.”

  “Ah, I…we ended up having sex on the table in the kitchen in the back room of their store,” Toni blurted out quickly and she felt her cheeks glow even more.

  “You did? Way to go, sis.” Tasha pumped her fist and smiled.

  “Oh, God, Tasha.” Toni groaned. “I can’t believe I did that. We haven’t even been out on a date yet.”

  “Oh come on, Toni, those two men have been courting you for months. I’ve been watching the three of you dance around each other for weeks. The amount of heat you three generate when you are in the same room creates enough energy to scorch anybody around you. You have nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about. Get with the program girl, most of my girlfriends have one-night stands regularly,” Tasha said.

  “Yeah, but not me and I know you don’t either. You know I’ve only had sex once before and that wasn’t all fireworks, you know.”

  “So was it any good?” Tasha asked. A slow smile spread across Toni’s face. “I’ll take that as a yes.”

  “It was unbelievable. I’ve never felt that way before.”

  “So what’s the problem?”

  “I’m scared they’ll break my heart. I think those two are the only men in this world that have the capability of destroying me.”

  “Okay, I can understand that, but what if they are the ones for you? What if you throw away this opportunity before giving them a chance and you end up wondering for the rest of your life what could have been? Are you willing to throw that away?”

  “I don’t know what I want at the moment, Tasha. I guess I just need time to get my head around everything.”

  “Fair enough, but just remember what I said and don’t throw away the chance of a lifetime. Now I’m knackered and am off to bed. See you in the morning. Don’t forget it’s my turn to open up tomorrow so you get to have a bit of a sleep in.”

  Toni sat pondering what her sister had said. Knowing she was right but not knowing whether she was willing to take the chance of getting her heart broken. Sighing, she rose from the sofa, turned the TV off, and went to bed.

  Toni awoke early the next morning but instead of getting up she rolled over and went back to sleep. She was vaguely aware of Tasha puttering in the kitchen then heard her leave through the front door. She must have drifted into a deep sleep because the next she knew she was sitting up in bed looking at her clock which showed it was nine am. She jumped out of bed and was just about to head for the bathroom when she heard knocking on the front door. Grabbing her robe she pulled it on as she went to answer the door.

  “Neville, what do you want?” she asked with a scowl.

  “No, that’s no way for a lady to greet a neighbor,” he said in a supercilious tone.

  Toni felt a little nervous over the way he was looking at her but she couldn’t prevent herself from rolling her eyes at his tone of voice. But when he continued to leer at her she began to get scared but she wasn’t about to let this creepy man know he had her on her back foot, had disconcerted her by the way he was leering at her robe-covered body.

  “I don’t have time for this, Neville. I’m running late, so what do you want?”

  “Well actually,” he placed his hand on the door, “what I want is, you!” He shoved at the door until it flew from her hand and he pushed his way into her house.

  Toni began to shake in reaction as she backed away from him when he barged through the door. She k
ept right on back pacing until she bumped into the small coffee table resting beside the sofa. She scowled at him and hoped like hell he couldn’t see how scared she really was. She placed her hands on her hips and snarled, “What the fuck do you think you’re doing? Get the hell out of my house you creep.”

  “I just want a kiss Toni, that’s all. I’m not going to hurt you.” Neville moved closer and she was getting really worried he would end up trying to rape her. There was no one here to help her so she only had herself to rely on to get out of this unwanted predicament.

  “Oh for God’s sake,” Toni muttered and turned away from him, searching for a weapon. Those words helped her to keep her head about her and not go running off screaming at the top of her lungs.

  * * * *

  Ben hadn’t been able to sleep much after making love with Toni last night. He was really worried over her reaction to how quickly things had gotten out of control and after he showered and dressed he told Jack he’d decided to go see and talk to her. The last thing he and Jack wanted was for her to be uncomfortable around them and start avoiding them again. He was just heading up the walkway when he heard Toni yell and broke into a run. The sight that he stumbled onto left him cold and angry. Some bastard was trying to hurt or make moves on his woman. He stepped through the door to take the trash out but he should have known his feisty, independent woman could take care of herself.

  Toni grabbed the lamp from the side table as the man lunged at her again and she slammed it into the side of his head. She watched almost dispassionately as the man crumpled to the floor beside her, totally out cold.
