Dare to Trust

STORY EXCERPT

She felt Mike squeeze her shoulder. “We’ll grab the table in the back corner and wait for you,” he whispered. She turned around to hurry to the kitchen to put in the food order then to make the drinks.

“Ain’t never seen those three look so pissed off before. When were you going to tell me that you snagged those three sexy Gods?” Alice, the other waitress, asked her. Marlena was shocked. She felt embarrassed as she glanced up to see Rita looking as well as Roy and Reagan.

“I didn’t snag up anyone. I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she said to Alice. Then she turned around to make the ice teas for the men.

“Honey, not only do they like you, but they’re making their claim, setting down the perimeters, and enforcing their territory.”

“What in God’s name are you talking about? I don’t hardly know them. I’m not interested. I just want to be left alone,” she said and then headed out toward the diner. She nearly dropped the one glass of ice tea and she saw Kurt’s hands go up as if surrendering and Jack warning him about staying away. Her belly did a series of flips and flops as she approached. Could the Spencer men seriously be threatening the Dawn men over her? No way. She needed to set them all straight.

Danny and Mike were already headed to the corner table and when she went to place down the ice teas, Jack remained there.

“Those burgers will be out soon,” she told them.

“Thanks, Marlena,” Kurt said and glanced at Jack. She felt Jack place his hand on her shoulder.

“Come on, baby, come over to our table so we can talk,” he said.

She maneuvered her shoulder out of his hand.

“Don’t do that, Jack. Please don’t call me such things. Are you guys here to eat or what?”

“A little of both,” he said and winked. They headed toward the corner table.

Marlena exhaled.

The Dawn brothers chuckled and Jack seemed angry.

She wasn’t certain what was going on. She didn’t get men. She just didn’t understand them. The old Marlena thought every man and woman was nice, truthful, and ready to help. She learned quickly that women could be backstabbers, and men were manipulative and only cared about what they wanted. She’d had the heck scared out of her and nearly died. It made her question people’s sincerity and their offers. It all confused her. Trying to figure out what were word games, or who may or may not be telling the truth. It was a damn miracle she let Adele, Alicia, and Mercedes into her life.

She suddenly felt on edge as she headed over to the Spencer men’s table. Why did they have to be so damn good-looking? So tall, muscular, and just downright incredible. They even smelled good, and those damn blue eyes of theirs did a number on her body. Why couldn’t she just tell them to leave her alone? Maybe ignoring their advances might work for a while, until she figured out how to handle them.

“Can I get you something to drink?” she asked Danny and Mike as Jack sat down at the table.

“Hello to you, too, Marlena,” Mike said and held her gaze.

She felt a twinge of guilt. She was never bitchy, even when she had every damn right to be.

She took a deep breath as she looked away and exhaled. No one else came into the diner yet to sit in her section. She would be caught between the Dawn brothers and the Spencer brothers. Just her luck.

“Hello, Deputy Spencer, what can I get you?” she asked.

“First things first, call me Mike. Drop the formalities, Marlena, we’ve known one another too long to play that game,” he said fiercely. She’d insulted him. She could tell and she went to apologize then bit her lip.

“I don’t play games. Now would you like to order drinks and something to eat, or are you just coming in here to waste my time and mess with your buddies over there?” she asked without even thinking first.

“Hot damn, Marlena, you are darn sexy when you’re all fired up,” Jack said to her and Danny gave his brother a hard nudge. She gasped, felt her cheeks turn hot, and she glanced around, hoping no one heard them. But practically everyone in earshot did. She placed her hand on her hip.

“Drinks or no drinks, Mr., Mr., and Mr. Spencer.”

They looked shocked, and that nearly made her smile. She’d never seen these men get un-composed or appear like they weren’t in charge and setting the pace. She held her ground. Mike held her gaze but spoke to his brothers.

“Danny, you done pissed Marlena off, and that’s not our intention coming here to see her. We missed you, Marlena. We were concerned over the blisters and hoping you were healing well.”

“I can take care of myself dep…Mike. So no need to worry.”

She almost called him deputy again but Mike raised one of his eyebrows up at her in challenge and she immediately pulled back. It turned her on that he had that control of her body and her mouth just from his sexy expression. But that also angered her. She was a fool, a sucker for a good sexy cowboy and law enforcement man. He wasn’t even wearing that sexy deputy uniform. Instead he had a tight shirt on that revealed his bulging muscles and rock-solid chest in a blue color that accentuated his eyes.

He smirked and she realized she had been staring at him, probably drooling, when the bell rang for an order pickup.

She tried to recover from her actions. “I’ll just grab you the usual drinks. Maybe by the time I get back, you’ll be ready to order,” she said and turned around to head toward the kitchen. She heard the long whistle from Jack as if again she shocked them by her comeback. It was funny, but she enjoyed the little back-and-forth word games with them. It made her belly do flip-flops and her mind wonder if she could let her guard down a little and get to know them better, as friends. But then she felt the fear as she picked up the order for the Dawn brothers. Men were after one thing only and she wasn’t ready to lose her heart, her soul, and her newfound spirit of determination to make it on her own. No matter how good they smelled, how sexy they were, or how all three of the Spencer brothers turned her on and made her pussy cream just from a little back-and-forth banter. No way.

ADULT EXCERPT

Danny lifted up Marlena’s shirt and began to massage her shoulders and her lower back. She eased back up and Mike caressed under her shirt and used his hands to lift her top and cup her breasts. Jack placed his fingers against her cheek, turned her to the right, and kissed her deeply. They were all touching her together and Danny felt so possessive and turned on. She had a sexy body, with a firm, round ass that filled her jeans to capacity, and large breasts that were too big to cup with one hand. And they all had big hands.

Danny wanted to explore her body. He wanted to bring her pleasure and make her feel completely comfortable with him and his brothers touching her. Jack was kissing her deeply and she was moaning softly against his mouth. When Mike unclipped her bra, she tightened up but Jack wouldn’t release her lips and Mike was fast to soothe her concerns.

“Just getting to know this sexy body of yours, Marlena. We’ll only go as far as you want us to. Relax and just feel. Let us make you feel good,” he said then lowered his mouth to her breast.

Behind her Danny watched his brother’s mouth latch onto a pink nipple as he massaged her full breast. Danny kissed her shoulder as he watched his brother explore and bring Marlena pleasure. He maneuvered his own hands around her waist to clasp on her jeans and then carefully unclipped them and pressed down the zipper. He suckled against her neck as Jack explored her mouth. She began to rock her hips and he knew she was aroused. He wanted to make her come. Right here in this kitchen. Right where they bonded and talked and shared their first kiss.

He maneuvered his fingers down into her pants and under her panties. She felt so hot and smooth.

“Fuck, baby, you are really warm down here. Are you wet, too? Are you liking three men loving this body together?” he asked then felt for her clit, pressed downward, and stroked a finger up into her cunt.

She pulled from Jack’s mouth and gasped.

“Oh God. Oh, Danny, please. We need to slow down. I shouldn’t be feeling this way.”

“Yes, you should. You deserve to be cared for, catered to, and loved,” Jack told her and then reached for her cheeks and kissed her deeply again.

Danny pressed her pants down lower and past her knees. He maneuvered closer behind her and rocked his hips against the crack of her ass so she could feel how hard his erection was. He stroked his fingers deeper and faster then pulled them out.

Mike shoved the chair out from under him and lowered to his one knee. He was working on her breasts.

Jack pulled from her mouth.

“Hold onto Mike’s shoulders,” he told her and she did as she panted and rocked her hips.

Danny couldn’t see what Mike was doing. He focused on his own plan as he spread her thighs and pulled one of her legs from confinement as he stroked her cunt from behind. She moaned again.

“Oh God please. Please,” she begged for more.

Jack caressed her hair from her face.

“Let go, Marlena. Let us have that sweet cream. Come for us. Orgasm for your three men.”

She shook her head and Jack continued to push her.

“You can trust us to care for you, and to catch you when you fall.”

Danny thrust two fingers into her cunt faster and faster. She was dripping with cream and he wanted to taste her. It would be difficult in this position but he could do it. He needed to get her wetter and send her over the edge.

She was panting and moaning and as he stroked she spread her legs wider.

He pulled out his fingers and stroked her anus.

“Oh God,” she gasped. Jack leaned down and caressed her as cheeks.

“You have a perfect ass, Marlena. Perfect.” He ran his hand along the cheeks and pinched her ass cheek. She jerked and more cream dripped from her pussy.

“I think she likes that, Jack,” Danny said.

“Just wait until she takes a cock in her mouth, her pussy, and her ass at the same time. She’ll love that,” Jack said and then pressed his finger over her puckered hole and pushed against it.

She shook and Danny lowered to his knees, pulled his fingers from her pussy, and suckled her cunt with his mouth. She bent forward more and Mike held her so that Danny could get better access to her pussy.

“Give him your sweet cream, Marlena,” Mike ordered her.

“Oh God this is so naughty. So bad,” she cried out and then shivered. Danny felt her pussy explode and he licked and suckled until her clit was swollen and then Mike was lifting her up into his arms.

Danny leaned back on his heels and smiled at Jack.

“Delicious,” he said and Jack headed toward the couch where Mike held Marlena on his lap.

Dare to Succeed

STORY EXCERPT

Caldwell Gordon couldn’t take his eyes off of Alicia. She was stunning and petite. Her head barely made it to his upper chest. Her femininity, shyness, and near insecurity made him have an instant protectiveness over her. God only knew what she would say or do if she knew that him and his brothers were planning on staking a permanent claim over her. Having to watch over her for the week a couple of months back had solidified their attraction to her. But she seemed unaffected. Perhaps she was just so shy she needed some persuading. But how could they persuade her to explore an attraction, if they couldn’t get time alone to spend with her? He needed to think hard and come up with something good.

She looked so sad today. Every time he saw her he got this feeling that she wanted to say something to him but then she didn’t. He could see the flash of emotion across her eyes and then a blank expression. She even opened her mouth to say something and then coughed or pretended to. What was she afraid of? Did he intimidate her? God, I hope not.

As he watched her process her newest order he thought about her craft, her unique ability to create such gorgeous colors and designs with stained glass pieces. Their new wine cellar was nearly complete in their own basement at home, but there was a large window that sat in the middle of the room that could use something unique. The thought hit him quickly. He could ask Alicia to take a look at it and see if she could design and work on the window at their home. That could give them a chance to get to know her and to make her feel more comfortable with them. It was worth the try. Especially staring at her back right now, looking over her sexy figure, her long brown hair, and listening to her sweet, quiet voice as she spoke with Lenny behind the counter.

He needed to make a move.

“So it should get to California by Friday. Is that good enough?” Lenny asked.

“Oh that’s great. The customer hadn’t expected it until almost a week later but I had time to complete it. Thanks, Lenny. Have a great day.”

“You, too, Alicia,” Lenny said, and Caldwell could see the man’s cheeks turning a shade of pink as he winked at their woman. And she was their woman, whether she knew it yet or not.

Alicia turned around and headed toward the door and right past him.

“Alicia. Could you hold up a minute? I wanted to run something by you,” Caldwell said. He acted all businesslike and he knew his tone grabbed her attention as she nodded and stood there looking intimidated. She was sweet. He could only imagine how submissive she would be in the bedroom as he asked her to touch him, kiss him, plant her pussy over his face as he devoured her sweet cream. God, the fantasies he had about her were beginning to feel real. But he knew they weren’t. Hell, she could turn him and his brothers down flat. If that happened he would never be the same again. He adored her. She was everything he wanted in a woman, a wife. His brothers believed so, too. He needed to make her feel safe and comfortable. The attraction was there. It had to be.

He gave Lenny the small package and some letters that needed to go out. Lenny gave him an odd expression but Caldwell ignored him. If the man liked Alicia and thought he had a chance with her, he would make sure he realized right now that Alicia was off limits.

Caldwell wrapped an arm over Alicia’s shoulder as he walked her out.

“We’ll talk outside. It’s a gorgeous day out,” he told her and felt her stiffen up as he touched her. They walked outside and she sidestepped out of his hold. He squinted at her and she shyly turned away. His cock hardened. God, she’s irresistible. Please let her be attracted to my brothers and I. We can’t get her out of our heads.

“What’s going on, Caldwell?” she asked him and he crossed his arms in front of his chest and took in the sight of her. She smelled so good and looked so pretty in her skirt and blouse. How he would love to explore her skin.

“I was wondering if you could help me out with something.”

She looked at him and nodded.

“My brothers and I just finished putting in a wine cellar. In the basement. And there is this big beautiful window in the center of the room and we were thinking of doing something to it to lessen the amount of sunlight entering the room but also enhance the feeling of being in a wine tasting room. Do you think you could come by and take a look at it and perhaps create something in stained glass to enhance the room?”

Her cheeks turned a shade of red and she stared at him.

“I don’t know. I usually don’t do such large pieces.”

“Well, there’s a first time for everything and you are pretty talented. We’d pay you of course.”

“So like a private job?”

“Yes.”

“I don’t know what I would charge you for it, Caldwell. It would depend on the size and exactly what you were looking for in the design.”

“I know. That’s why it would be great if you could stop over. Do you think sometime this week, maybe in the afternoon so that you could see how much sun comes through?”

“Can I think about it?”

“I won’t take no for an answer. I know how talented you are. I won’t hire anyone else to come in. I would really like you to come up with something.”

She hesitated a few seconds and then said okay. He wanted to leap for joy. This was going to work out perfectly. They’d get her to their place, get her to accept the job, and then make sure each of them visited her and talked to her as she worked so she would be more comfortable with them. They could probably talk her into staying for dinner or sharing lunch? This was a great plan. His brothers would be thanking him. Big time.

“So how about tomorrow afternoon? Maybe around one?”

“Sounds good to me.”

“Do you know where we live?”

“Of course I do.”

He raised one of his eyebrows up at her. Did she already have feelings for them? Did she drive by their place to catch a glimpse of them? God he hoped so.

ADULT EXCERPT

Max leaned back against the table, arms crossed, eyes glued to Alicia’s hips and the way her flair skirt tapped against her thighs. She had to come back this morning to finish up the stained glass piece. Monroe and Caldwell were due here momentarily, but had informed him of their conversation with Alicia once he left for work yesterday. His cock hardened beneath his uniform pants as he thought about her submissive personality and how protective he felt over her.

“That should do it,” she said. Her sweet, calm voice had a way of soothing over the tense feelings he had trying to hold back and take things slow.

He wanted to pull her into his arms, or bend her gently over the wine tasting table and explore under her skirt.

She glanced at him and her expression changed. She looked concerned, aroused…sexy.

She swallowed hard and lowered her eyes.

“Alicia,” he said her name, not realizing until the words left his lips how demanding, firm, and deep his tone was. She jerked her head upward.

He didn’t uncross his arms.

“Come here.”

He absorbed the way she worried her bottom lip and slowly walked closer. He intimidated her and even that turned him on.

The moment she was within reach, and once his eyes explored her sexy figure and abundant breasts peeking out from the sleeveless cream blouse she wore, he couldn’t resist.

He snagged her around the waist, pulled her close, and kissed her deeply.

When he felt her palms against his chest rubbing up and down his pectoral muscles and making his cock throb for release he wanted to exhale in relief. But he was too turned on, too aroused and needy for a bit more of Alicia. He ran his hands under her skirt and against her bare thigh, bringing it higher against his thigh.

She moaned into his mouth and he deepened the kiss as he used his palm to explore the crack of her ass. He slid fingers underneath the thin material of what had to be thong panties and maneuvered a finger to her cunt.

“Oh,” she gasped, pulling her mouth from his only for him to press deeper and stroke upward. His grip around her waist was snug and his expression heated and intense as he held her shocked gaze.

“You’re wet and hot, Alicia. That’s real sexy.”

“Oh God, Max, please. Oh.” She moaned and tilted her head back.

He licked her neck, nibbled on a sensitive spot that had her pussy leaking cream.

“Fuck, baby, I need more of you.”

He pulled back, pulled fingers from her cunt, and maneuvered her to his liking.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed the corner of her mouth as he spoke softly to her. He was on fire. He was so damn needy to taste her.

“This wine tasting table is no longer just for tasting wine.”

He lifted her up by her hips and slowly lowered her back to the table, being careful that she didn’t bang her head on the hard wood. He kissed her lips and ran his hands up her thighs, spreading them as he pushed his body between them.

Alicia moaned and ran her fingers through his hair.

“I want to taste you. You’ll let me,” he asked but it came out as a demand and he held his breath, waiting to see if he fucked up and scared her. She nodded her head, shocking him as she ran her delicate fingers through his hair.

He couldn’t help but smile as he eased back, taking the thin material of her panties downward and then dropping them to the floor.

He pressed her skirt upward and his eyes locked onto her glistening cunt.

“You wet for me, Alicia?” he asked her and her cheeks turned a nice shade of pink. He lowered his mouth closer as he chuckled and she squirmed from his warm breath colliding against her pussy lips.

“Please, Max, don’t tease me. God, I can’t believe I’m doing this.”

He stroked a finger along her pussy lips then held her gaze.

“I’m a demanding man, Alicia. There’s things I want and expect from you. The longer I wait to claim this body the more intense my needs become.”

She parted her lips and breathed a little heavier.

He stroked just the tip of his thumb up into her pussy.

“Max,” she said and gripped his wrist.

He shook his head and made a noise. “Tsk, tsk. Release my wrist. Raise your hands above your head and offer me this pussy to taste.” He pressed his thumb a little deeper but not all the way.

“Oh God you’re wild. This is insane.”

“What’s insane is these feelings I have for you, Alicia. This burning, aching need to claim every inch of you. To fuck this pussy as you cry out my name and then fuck this ass.” He stroked his thumb downward, letting her pussy cream coat her anus. He felt the muscle tighten up as she gasped.

“Oh God, Max.” She slowly rocked her hips.

“Ever get fucked in the ass, Alicia?” She shook her head so quickly he had to chuckle.

“Well it’s going to feel real good when I’m fucking this pussy while Monroe fucks this ass and Caldwell strokes his cock into that sweet sexy mouth of yours,” he told her as he used his other finger to trail across her lips then press into her mouth.
