The realization shook him. His lips parted, but the words he needed to say stuck in his throat. He tore his gaze from hers, unable to cope with the guilt. His brothers stood a few feet away, their bodies tense and their gazes locked on Tomi. They’d enjoyed the experience as much as she had. And to his surprise, he’d felt no vengeful sense ofpossession.
He and his brothers had always shared a bond, a bond that went beyond spoken words. They knew Tomi was his, and they knew to do no more than exactly what was asked of them. With their help, he’d pushed her ecstasy to new heights. Seeing the naked pleasure on her face had given Cole his ownfulfillment.
Cole wanted to tell her the truth right this minute, he craved to bear his soul and get everything off his chest, but seeing the look of lust on his brothers’ faces and the answering flush of arousal on Tomi’s cheeks stirred something inhim…
Couldn’t it wait until after he gave herpleasure?
Tomi’s blue eyes glittered, sparkling like sapphires. Watching her like this, seeing her transform into this sensual creature, was almost as erotic as last night. In a trance, his lips lowered to her cherry red lips to suck and nip and taste. A low, deep-throated moan built inside her. It was a desperate sound. A hungrysound.
Driven by instinct, Cole devoured her mouth, stamping his mark of possession on his woman. He could sense the twins approaching, feel the electric arcs of heat sparking off their bodies in response to the scene playing out before them. Cole drew back, wanting to watch her expression shift as she realized last night’s unfinished promise was about to befulfilled.
Tomi stared up at him, her eyes dazed and dilated, as Carter leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss to the soft slope of her neck. Cole loosened his hold of her upper body but kept her legs wrapped around his waist. Then he watched as his brothers lifted his shirt over her head, tossed it to the floor and replaced the soft material with theirhands.
Through his pants, Cole could feel her pussy turn hot, soakingwet.
Broad male hands cupped her breasts, lifting them, pinching her nipples as they darkened with arousal. Her nails dug into his shoulders with such force Cole knew they would leave the imprint of tiny half-moons behind. Moans slipped from her lips as Clint and Carter began to kiss down her neck and shoulders. Cole grimaced with rising need, his hands tightening on her full ass, shoving her hot core against his throbbingshaft.
Tomi’s moans turned to whimpers. She stared at him, and through the haze of lust, he could see the question in hergaze.
“Let go,” he whispered. “This is for you, baby. I want to hear youscream.”
Restrained by their position, Cole shifted Tomi in his arms, lowering her back to the ground. Clint and Carter didn’t need a second to assess the situation, their mouths closed over her nipples, sucking the rosy buds between their lips as she writhed and screamed out herpleasure.
Tomi was quaking against him, her head whipping from side to side in abandon. Cole slid his hand down her abdomen between her thighs, feeling her swollen nub. Her hips jerked, and he had to grit his teeth against the hunger her response tore from him. He nipped her earlobe, stroked her nub with slow, deliberate movements as he felt her need for release build. “Is this what you need,Tomi?”
“Oh God,Cole!”
“Do you like their mouths on you? Because I fucking love seeing you come apart in my arms. It’s so beautiful,baby.”
Her entire body writhed against him, and unable to help himself, Cole tilted her head back and devoured her lips as his brothers devoured her breasts. She couldn’t contain the sounds ofdesire.
Driven by her hunger, Cole shoved a finger inside her dripping cunt. He thumbed her hard little nub and then shoved another finger inside. He had to fight for breath as she clenched around him, her juices covering his hand. “You’re so close, baby. Let go. Let go forme.”
Suddenly, Cole became aware of the sound of the front door crashing open. On instinct, he covered Tomi’s naked body with his own. Carter and Clint rushed to theentrance.
“Stay quiet,” he whispered to Tomi, indicating for her to stay there in the corner. Her eyes widened with fear and she nodded herunderstanding.
Cole shot to his feet and peered around the corner, hugging the wall. He’d thought they were so prepared, what with his brothers taking watch and the surveillance they’d placed around the perimeter of the property, but he’d lowered his guard and fucking risked Tomi’s life because of it. Someone had invaded theirhouse.
Someone who was currently on the floor beneath his brothers. The sounds of their grunts and the hard thud of fists connecting with flesh filled the living room. Cole stalked to the kitchen cabinet where they’d stashed a Glock, pulled it out, checked it, and then strode into the living room with every intention of ending any threat to Tomi’slife.
Carter lay on the floor, dazed and shaking his head as he tried to get to his feet. Clint was now squarely on top of their enemy, raining down a storm of punches meant to destroy. The sight was almost enough to make him feel sorry for the intruder.Almost.
Until the man on the floor somehow managed to shove the vengeful Clint off and stumble to his feet. Cole lifted the gun and aimed straight at the bastard’s head. Recognition dawned in the nick of time. “What the fuck are you doinghere?”
Stahl’s one unswollen eye widened and Cole felt the whisper of movement behind him. His weapon came up as he spun around—and he found himself pointing the gun straight at Tomi’s terrified face. Without thought, Cole loosened his fingers, dropping the weapon onto the living room carpet. The next instant he had Tomi in his arms. He carried her backward, a rage born of terror possessing him as he glared into her wide, horrified eyes. “What the hell were you thinking? I told you to stay. I could’ve fucking shot you!” He shook her, fear eating himalive.
“Let her go, Cole.” Clint appeared at his side and grabbed his arm. “You’re scaringher.”
Clint shoved his way between them, glaring. Cole had never been so goddamn scared in his life. The thought of Tomi being harmed by someone else scared the shit out of him, but the idea of Tomi being harmed by him, however unintentionally, destroyed him. “Get the hell out of myway.”
“Hell, no. Not until you calm down!” Clint said in a low voice with just as much fury as Colefelt.
“I almost shother!”
Clint shifted enough for Cole to see Tomi’s terrified face and the tears streaking down it. She was silently crying, her hands covering her face, her body bent over in a protective gesture. The sight of her like that was Cole’s undoing. He looked straight his brother and said, “Get out of the way. She’shurting.”
Clint’s golden eyes glinted. He must’ve read the undercurrent of determination in Cole’s voice because he stepped aside. Cole wrapped his arms around Tomi and cradled her against his chest. “Oh God, Tomi. Baby girl. I’m so fuckingsorry.”
