Found in Bliss

She put her hands on his face. “I love you, Caleb Burke.”

  Not Sommerville. Nicky was right. This was who Caleb wanted to be.

  His green eyes were solemn as he looked at her. “I love you, too. I just don’t know that it means much.”

  Holly put a finger to his lips. “You don’t have to tell me anything. I don’t need to know. I love the man you are now.”

  “And you would love the man he was,” Alexei said quietly. “He is very stubborn. He always has good heart.”

  “I want to tell you. You need to know.” Caleb looked so miserable standing there, as though he was sure she would reject him.

  She’d put that fear in his eyes by walking out. She should have yelled, fought with him. She should have stayed. She was well aware that if Alexei hadn’t been there, there was a great chance that Caleb wouldn’t have come to her.

  They needed Alexei. She held out her hand.

  Alexei hesitated. “Dushka, perhaps you two should be alone.”

  Caleb shook his head. “No, I want you to hear, too. You should understand. I know I said I would be happy to just be around for the sex, but that was bullshit. I want this thing to work, and you’re a part of it, Alexei.”

  Caleb stepped away. He started to pace, and Holly could see how this would go. He would tell her in his clinical way, detached and outside himself. She didn’t want that. She wanted him to know that he was safe with her. She’d taken that from him when she’d walked away. He should know she wouldn’t do that again.

  Holly pulled off her shirt and let it drop to the ground. Without hesitation she pulled off her bra.

  “Holly, what are you doing?” Caleb asked, his eyes going straight to her breasts.

  “She is getting ready to talk.” Alexei smiled warmly at her. He could read her mind. He worked the buttons on his shirt, exposing his chest.

  Caleb turned between the two. “We’re going to talk naked?”

  She pulled her hair out of the ponytail holder she wore. “Yes, consider it our first family tradition. When we have terrible things to talk about, we do it in bed, naked. I want to hold you, Caleb. Will you let me?”

  He stilled. “I can’t do this if you’re going to walk away every time I upset you because I’ll probably upset you a lot. I know that maybe isn’t fair, but I can’t handle not knowing where I stand. I can’t play games. I’m not any good at them.”

  He wasn’t. He was horrible at hiding his feelings. Alexei was good at it, but she didn’t want to play games with either of them.

  There was only one way she could think of to prove that she was in. Without bothering to cover her breasts, she went to the phone. “What’s your brother’s number?”

  Caleb’s head came up. “What?”

  “Eli? What’s his number?” The only way to prove she could handle him was to throw herself into the fire.

  “Holly,” Caleb started.

  “Give her number, Caleb.” Alexei had gotten down to his underwear. She was never going to get used to that body. It was beautiful. It matched his soul.

  “Do your clothes just fall off you?” Caleb asked, shaking his head.

  Alexei shrugged. “It is skill. Now give Holly number. I am intrigued to see what she will do.”

  Caleb rattled off a number, and within seconds the line was being answered.

  “This is Sommerville. Who is this? I don’t recognize this number. This is a private line for family only.”

  He sounded gruff, a man who knew his place in the world and wouldn’t appreciate it being questioned. Holly had no desire to question Eli’s place in the world, but he was going to understand hers as well.

  “Eli. I’m going to call you Eli because I think we’ll be family soon enough. My name is Holly Lang. I live in Bliss, Colorado.”

  There was a brief pause, and then he sounded almost amused. “I know your name, Ms. Lang. I keep tabs on my brother.”

  Well, of course he did. “Then you know we’re seeing each other.”

  “I know he’s interested. My brother likes to move slowly. He’s the tortoise of the dating world.”

  He really was. Luckily Alexei was the hare who had pushed Caleb forward. “Well, his slow ass finally crossed the finish line. I’m going to be honest with you, Eli. I’m in love with your brother. And I’m keeping him. You can send in your spin doctors or image consultants, but it won’t make a difference. You can’t make me into some perfect political wife.”

  “Well then, it’s a good thing you’re planning on marrying a doctor.” There was zero question of his amusement now. She could practically hear him smiling.

  But she hadn’t told him the whole truth yet. “I don’t have a college degree. I’m divorced with a son who recently came out as gay. I live in a town known for its unconventional relationships.”

  “And apparently its aliens,” Eli interrupted her.

  Holly continued. “And you can’t run me off. I will have you know that my son is very good at blackmail. And Caleb and I have a very good friend who knows a thing or two about getting what he wants. A very good friend. A partner.”

  There was a long pause. “Oh, fuck. Seriously? Caleb’s gone native?”

  Finally she’d managed to get a rise out of him. “Yes. It’s perfectly acceptable here in Bliss. And our partner used to be involved in a crime syndicate, but he’s gone straight now. So if you want to keep this relationship of ours private, you better keep the press off us. But you can’t get rid of me. I love your brother, and I won’t be bought off or scared off or blackmailed off. Do you understand?”

  Eli’s voice was warm as he spoke. “I think I do, Holly. I’m going to call you Holly since we’re going to be family soon enough. Consider me properly intimidated. Now that I know who the boss is, perhaps you can get my brother to call his family a little more often. We miss him. And Josh wants to come see him soon.”

  “I think we can arrange that. Your brother says hello. He’ll call you later, but for now he has some things to do.” Before he could reply, Holly hung up. She turned to Caleb. Her heart was racing. It had gone far better than she could have imagined. It still could all go to hell, but she’d made her stand. “There, now we’ve started on the proper footing.”

  Alexei smiled at her, his cock already straining at his boxers. “That was very sexy, dushka.”

  Caleb’s hands came out in supplication. “He won’t try to break us up. Eli isn’t your ex. Are you sure about this, Holly? Eli can try to keep us off the radar, but I can’t guarantee that we won’t have nosy reporters sniffing around. I can promise that I’ll protect you as best I can. I can promise that no matter what anyone says, I’ll be here.”

  She couldn’t ask for more. “Then take off your clothes and meet me in bed. You can tell me your story, and I can apologize for walking out. But Caleb, no more secrets.”

  “I don’t have any more.” He followed her into the bedroom, Alexei on his heels.

  Holly shed her jeans and underwear. She was painfully aware of the plug that still resided in her ass. Alexei’s hand caressed her there, reminding her that he was the one who had worked it in.

  “You are still wearing plug?” Alexei asked, his voice deep and dark.

  She nodded. “I didn’t take it out.”

  She’d found it oddly comforting. Even as she’d walked away, she’d kept the toy deep inside. Every time she’d felt it, she’d pretended it was a caress. How could she think to walk away from them? She needed them.

  Alexei put his hands on her hips, drawing her close. “You are never allowed to walk out again, my dushka. You can get mad, yell all you like, but this is a family. We can’t to be walking away. Family is too important. This is too important.”

  She wrapped her arms around his waist, loving the feel of his muscles playing against her. He was a gorgeous monster, and his heart was as big as his body. “I love you.”

  “I love you, too.” He tilted her head up and took her lips in a soft, sweet kiss.

  Caleb was sudde
nly at her back, his hands on her skin. She felt so good surrounded by them.

  Caleb swept her hair to the side and kissed her neck, a tender touch of lips to skin. “I’m sorry I didn’t say it before. I can only tell you I was scared. I love you, Holly.”

  She turned to him, knowing how hard a confession that was. “Oh, babe, you won’t regret it.”

  His hands came up, brushing her nipples. His mouth was against her ear, the warmth of his breath soft on her skin. “I’ll tell you everything you want to know, but after. I want to make love. I want to be inside you.”

  “Yes.” She didn’t want to wait. She wanted them, needed them now. “Please, Caleb. I want you both.”

  “I think we can handle that.” Caleb’s cock was thick against her backside.

  “You are ready for this?” Alexei asked.

  “Yes,” she and Caleb said at the same time. She laughed. She wasn’t sure who Alexei had been talking to, but he’d gotten the answer he wanted. He dropped his boxers, tossing them aside. His big cock bounced free, jutting up.

  “I’m ready,” Caleb said, squeezing her. “I want to make love to our woman.”

  Caleb let go of her, and she could hear him rustling behind her, his clothes coming off.

  Alexei put a hand on her head and pushed with a gentle pressure. “On your knees, Holly. I want to feel your mouth.”

  Holly got to her knees, clenching her ass to keep the plug in. His dominant commands made her feel ridiculously sexy. When Alexei’s voice went deep and he got bossy, her pussy responded as though it knew who its master was. She took Alexei’s cock in hand and ran her tongue across the head. He hissed slightly and sank his hands into her hair. He leaned back, giving her full access to his dick.

  “God, that’s pretty.” Caleb stood beside Alexei, looking down at the place where his cock disappeared into her mouth. “I think I want some of that.”

  His thick cock pointed her way. Caleb pumped himself a couple of times.

  She never would have imagined that Caleb Burke would stand right next to a man he’d once considered a criminal waiting for his turn at a little oral. They were her men. A deep feeling of possession settled in her chest. These men were hers, and she was never going to let them get away. They had given themselves to her, and she intended to keep them.

  Holly turned her head, allowing Alexei’s cock to pop out of her mouth, and licked at Caleb. She took both her men in hand and licked them in turn. Her tongue flicked back and forth, teasing them. She curled her tongue around Alexei while her hand tightened on Caleb. She sucked Caleb into her mouth, playing with Alexei’s balls with her free hand. They stood together, their hips touching, and she’d never felt sexier. Two hands played in her hair. Two voices groaned and told her how hot she was.

  She licked the ridge of Caleb’s cock, carefully sucking at the V on the underside. She worried it with her tongue, glorying in the pre-cum that seeped from the head. It drenched her tongue with the taste of him. She switched to Alexei, mingling their flavors on her tongue. She lapped at them, not able to get enough.

  She sucked Alexei deep. One, two, and three passes before switching. Caleb groaned as she pulled him in. He pumped his hips toward her. She ran her tongue up and down his length. He pulsed in her mouth. He was close.

  “Don’t you come,” Alexei growled.

  Caleb pulled out with a moan. “Bastard.”

  “We take our woman together.”

  Caleb’s eyes darkened. “Yes. I want that. Holly, get on the bed. Hands and knees. I want your ass in the air.”

  And he called Alexei bossy.

  Alexei helped her to her feet as Caleb opened the nightstand and pulled out condoms and lube. He tossed them on the bed and then winked at her. “Stay here, baby. I have a trick I want to try.”

  “And I have some discipline to administer.” Alexei directed her to the bed. “Did you think I would let you walk away with no punishment? You have been bad girl.”

  She felt like a bad girl, and it felt really good. She didn’t hesitate to get on her knees, lifting her ass in the air. Alexei’s discipline always seemed to end with her crying out in pleasure. She intended to be bad more often.

  Alexei’s hand came down instantly, the smack ringing through the air. Holly cried out. The smack made the plug shift, lighting up every nerve in her ass. It was a jangled, oddly erotic sensation that made her fists clench around the comforter under her hands. She held on because Alexei seemed damn serious about punishment. His hand rained down on her ass, leaving not an inch untouched. Over and over he smacked her in short, unrelenting arcs. Each time she winced and ground her teeth and let the pain turn into heat blooming across her skin.

  He stopped suddenly, and she groaned as he ran his hand across her ass.

  “So pink and pretty. And I love the way this looks.” He pressed lightly on the plug, playing with the base. Holly couldn’t help her whimper. She could feel her pussy cream with every little touch.

  He pulled on the plug with one hand while his other hand played in her pussy, light, teasing touches that made her crazy for more.

  “You like this, dushka. You love my discipline. You will love it even more when I tie you up. You’ll be helpless. I’ll tie your hands and feet to the bed. You’ll be open to us, our little love slave. We’ll take care of you. We’ll clamp your pretty nipples and torture you with our tongues. You’ll beg, my darling. You’ll beg for a cock, but we’ll hold back. You’ll get nothing until we decide it. We’ll play with you to our hearts’ content.”

  It sounded like torture. It sounded like heaven.

  He smacked her again, making her cry out. This time he left his hand over the site as though imprinting himself on her.

  “I will try many things with you. You are my little slave in the bedroom. I am your slave everywhere else.” He kissed the small of her back, wrapping his arms around her waist. “Mine.”

  “Bastard, you told me you would share.” Caleb emerged from the bathroom. He winked at her as he joined them on the bed.

  “I share. But she is ours. She will not be looking at other men.” Alexei smacked her ass again—a definite warning of things to come.

  Holly piped up. “It’s going to be hard, boys. My dating life has been so active up to this point.”

  Another smack, this one hard. He wasn’t playing around with that smack. Holly groaned and forced herself to breathe.

  “No joking,” Alexei barked. “I need to know that you are mine. Ours. I need to know that we will be together.”

  “Always, babe. Always.”

  She felt Caleb’s hand tracing the curves of her ass. “And it’s going to be hard for her to keep her eyes off other dudes. We have a lot of naked dudes running around Bliss. She might have to go around blindfolded.”

  Alexei’s face came into view. He gave her the sweetest smile. “As long as she is ours, then perhaps she can look all she likes. We will just have to make sure we are most sexy of men.”

  They wouldn’t have to work hard. They were the sexiest men she’d ever met. It went beyond their perfect abs or handsome faces. It was bone deep. “No one can hold a candle to you two.”

  “That’s good to hear because I think Alexei here is going to need a lot of praise. He seems very vain,” Caleb said.

  “I merely wish to be lovely for my dushka. She deserve most beautiful of mens.” Alexei pointed to Caleb. “You could use a haircut.”

  Caleb’s laugh filled the room. “Don’t even go there, buddy. How about you be the beauty and I’ll be the creative one. Damn, she’s so wet.”

  “She like her spanking. I think her ass will be spanked often.”

  She felt Caleb’s lips on her skin. “Poor baby. He did a number on you. Your skin is all pretty and hot and pink. So lovely. I think after taking a spanking like that, you deserve a little treat. Spread your legs, sweetheart. He’s the stick. Let me be the carrot.”

  He was so much better than a carrot. She widened her stance, pushing her knee
s out for Caleb to slide underneath. She shuddered as she felt his hands on her thighs. They were big and warm, and she knew what was coming.

  “Holly, I’m a doctor and that means I’ve made a thorough study of female anatomy. I can say with great confidence that this is the prettiest pussy ever made. It’s perfectly formed. Plump and juicy and ripe.”

  “And she smell so sweet,” Alexei added. He got on the bed next to Caleb. She felt his hands on her ass, his finger tracing the valley between the globes.

  “Yes, she does.”

  She shuddered as she felt Caleb’s nose run along her pussy.

  “I’ve also studied a little chemistry, and I happen to know the effect of menthol on a woman’s pink parts.” He licked at her, a long, slow stroke of his tongue.

  Something wicked and crisp made her pussy swell. “Oh my god, Caleb, what did you do?”

  He chuckled. “It’s a fun little trick. I brushed my teeth. I spit, but I didn’t rinse. The menthol from the toothpaste creates a tingly feeling. Do you like it?”

  She couldn’t breathe. Her pussy felt like it was swelling but in a delicious way. It was like her skin was open to all sensation. As though she’d been plunged into freezing water and emerged with every pore open and ready for pleasure. Her pussy felt alive.

  Alexei began to torture her ass with the plug. He pulled it out a little ways and then fucked it back in.

  “Hold still,” Alexei commanded, putting a hand on the small of her back.

  “I can’t.” She felt too much. It was too much pleasure. Caleb was eating at her pussy, lighting it up. Alexei filled her ass with the plug, making the nerves there flare to life.

  “You will hold still or we will to be stopping,” Alexei promised.

  “Holly, be still. He really will make me stop. I don’t want to. You taste so good, sweetheart. You’re creaming for me. So much juice.” Caleb swiped at her clit. Holly felt her eyes go wide. “And this will work on us. You can suck our dicks like this, and we’ll go crazy.”

  She could imagine it. There didn’t have to be boundaries with these men. She could explore to her heart’s content. She could try every wild thing she’d ever dreamed of and a few things she hadn’t even thought she wanted. She wouldn’t have said she could ever submit in the bedroom. She had thought Jen was crazy for wearing Stef’s collar, but she got it now. She could submit to Alexei, and he would take care of her. Alexei was the dominant one in the bedroom. Caleb was the softie. She could have the best of both worlds. She could have it all. She just had to be brave enough to reach for it.
