Stripping Their Hearts

  “Yep, my mom moved us here when I was about two, before that I don’t know. Anyway, the house I live in is the same house she bought when she came here. She was a librarian for the college, and the house is only a few blocks from campus. We used to walk there in the morning, she couldn’t afford daycare so I would go with her, and every day was a new adventure in the books I found. I would sit in the stacks and just read. Then we would walk home and talk about everything I read about, make up stories about places I found in the books. We would cook recipes I found, or make up dishes for the stories. It was how I learned to cook, my mom said I made the best Pirate Stew in the world.” Kit smiled. She went on to explain the way her mother wrote down every recipe she ever made up and put them in a tin for her. She also talked about how she would take her to the museum or the zoo and they would have adventures, using their imagination and making up crazy and wild stories.

  “Pirate Stew?” Tank asked.

  “Yep, my own recipe,” Kit bragged.

  “Well maybe you can make it for us sometime.” Sonny laughed.

  “Only if you ‘Agrrrrrrrr’ the hole time like my mom used to.” Kit laughed.

  “Sounds like your mom really loved you.” Tank smiled.

  “Yes, she always told me I was the reason she got up in the mornings. Even when she was sick with cancer, she would tell me that every morning when I walked into her room. Then one day she didn’t wake up,” Kit said.

  “Babe, I am so sorry all this shit has come up,” Sonny said and took her into his arms. She allowed herself to lean into his hug for the first time and relished in the warmth she felt there.

  “I miss her,” she said against his chest and she felt his heart beating against her cheek. “If she were here, I know she would explain what was going on back then. It doesn’t make sense; my mom was never secretive about anything. She told me about my father with a straight face, I never questioned it.”

  Tank pulled her away from Sonny, turned her around, and lifted her chin so she was staring him in the eyes. “Things are not always what they seem, sweet thing, remember that. Your mother sounds like an amazing woman, and she had to really have a good reason to do what she did.”

  “I would like to know why? I mean, my father seemed like he was a good man from everything you said. I just don’t get why she would leave him out of the blue,” Kit said.

  “If you want to know why, we will find out for you,” Tank said and hugged her gently. These two huge men, who could crush her with one blow, treated her so gently, she didn’t know what to do with her feelings about them.

  ‘So what about you guys? Did you grow up around here?” Kit said.

  “Sure did, grew up in Parker.” Sonny laughed. “Mom and dads, loved it here, we grew up on a ranch. Tank is the oldest, and then me, we have a little sister named Philadelphia or Philly for short. The whole family but one of my dads was in the service or on the police force. None of us kids took a liking to ranching, so when my parents died, we sold it. Now Philly lives in DC, and Tank lives in Healing, Wyoming. I am the only one left in Denver but I am going to be moving with my brother soon.”

  Once again, both of them watched her and she didn’t flinch when they talked about their parents, or even look confused, she just nodded and smiled. “Wyoming, now there is a state with a lot of history. I don’t think I have heard of Healing though, where is it?”

  Tank explained where it was then they talked about the people there. Sonny had to admit he loved it when he had gone up for a visit before his brother moved there. The people were amazing and fun, plus, everyone in town accepted the relationships of the team and didn’t give them shit.

  “Heck, no one in the town bats and eye when the ménage families walk down the road,” Tank finally threw out there and then waited.

  “Takes a special group of people to accept people for who they are,” Kit said quietly.

  “Okay,” Tank said. “I gotta ask, I have been dropping hints about the team and my family, because most of the time it freaks people out when they hear how we grew up. You though, you just smile and keep going, I mean, aren’t you even a little shocked that our parents lived in a ménage lifestyle?”

  Kit laughed and looked between the two men then shook her head. “Guys, not to sound like a head case or anything, but have you been waiting for me to freak out again at the mention of an alternative relationship?”

  “Alternative relationship?” Sonny laughed.

  “Well, in a book I read that is what they called them, I asked my mom about them when I was like ten, she explained it to me and told me I should never judge someone because of how they live. That was how she raised me. Over the years if a person would actually pay attention, I would suspect there is more of them out there than what we think. I don’t care, whatever. I think it is fine if all of the parties are in agreement,” Kit said. “Besides, my neighbor used to buy these books, mom called them smut romance and would laugh. When I was old enough, she gave the books to me, I was curious so I read them. Now if I had my kindle, you would be impressed at my reading list.”

  Both of them paused to think about what she said and then they dropped the subject. Kit didn’t think anything of it as they worked together to get the place cleaned and in order. Once they sat down to the table so they could go over their list of things they had taken care of today, Kit paused and looked at the guys.

  “So, we are staying here indefinitely, and we are making this place the Colorado headquarters for this mission for TRI-X, and two men named Zero and Sting are coming up here to check in and stay. I am having like a weird out of body experience here, I mean I know I should be freaking out, and yet I am sitting here planning this like it happens to me everyday. What is wrong with me?” Kit said and looked out the window.

  “Sweet thing,” Tank said and took her hand. “There isn’t anything wrong with you, you are coping.”

  Two large fat tears fell down her cheeks and she looked at them and smiled. “Just keep going, I will pull it together.”

  The men shook their heads and Sonny said, “Babe, we are gonna table this shit and make dinner. Then you can go take a long soak in the tub while we get stuff worked out. Tomorrow we will start fresh, how does that sound?”

  Kit bit her lip and she nodded. “Heavenly.”

  Chapter Nine

  Damn books, Kit thought as she lay in bed that night. The guys had done exactly what they said and made dinner, talked about stupid shit like football and the weather, and then sent her off to the bathroom to soak. They had even bought her more bubble bath and shampoo and conditioner so she could really clean up. It was nice, and normal. Well as normal as it could be hiding in the mountains from hitmen who were trying to kill you. That was the latest information they got, and Kit had only known because she overheard a conversation when she was washing the dishes again. The guys thought the water drowned out their voices but it hadn’t. Rumors of several hitmen arriving in Denver had caused quite a buzz today.

  Instead of being terrified though, all she could think about was those damn romance books she bought. The men took care of their women and made sure they were safe, and of course, they fell in love. In her situation, she could easily see how it could become a book. One that she hoped had a happy ending—with everyone alive.

  But the romance is what she was thinking about laying in her bed. It was easy to put Tank and Sonny into the hero roles and fantasize about them.

  Kit groaned and rolled over and thought about the last book she had read and the sex scene she had read repeatedly. This time she put her name and face in the place of the heroine along with Tank and Sonny as the heroes.

  ∞ ∞ ∞

  Kit felt the warmth surrounding her. She knew Sonny was curved around her back and Tank was lying in front of her. She knew their bodies and could feel their heat. She had waited for this moment for a long time; they had finally come to her when she needed them the most. Now, she was going to be their reward, give them something that
no one else had given them, her body, her heart, and her soul.

  Before she could speak, Tank spoke in a whispered tone, “Kit, you are so beautiful, baby. It feels like forever since I have been with you and been able to hold you like this. They were wrong, they were all wrong, we were meant to be together.”

  Sonny tugged Kit closer to him. She could feel his erection pushing against her butt cheeks. He had his nose in her hair inhaling her sent. Kit looked up at Tank and saw the sincerity in his eyes. She knew they were telling the truth.

  “I’m scared,” Kit whispered.

  “We know, baby, and we won’t make you do anything you’re not ready to do. We just want to finally claim you as ours, our woman, our wife,” Sonny murmured.

  The emotions were playing havoc on Kit as well, so many people questioned their love for one another. But they had saved her from the man who had hunted her.

  ∞ ∞ ∞

  Kit stopped the rolling fantasy to think she could easily put herself in this position, because she was being hunted, and these two men would be the ones who saved her, she could feel it. She wanted to grab both of them and make love to them. She wanted them, but didn’t know how to start, in the books it seemed like the men always made the first move, but Kit wanted to show them how much she wanted them. She wanted to make the first move and prove to them that she was willing to take this step with them. So back to her little fantasy from the book but with a twist as she took the initiative.

  ∞ ∞ ∞

  Kit reached up and touched Tank‘s face, caressing his cheek. “I want you both now, but I don’t know what to do,” Kit said softly. She looked up at Tank with widened eyes.

  “We will show you, baby.” Sonny pulled Kit back until she was lying on her back. He looked down into her face, leaned down, and placed the gentlest kiss she’d ever had on her mouth. He released her lips then went lower and kissed her breast, pulling her nipple in his mouth, rolling it around, then scrapping it against his teeth. Kit writhed beneath him. She could smell the heat coming off Sonny, penetrating her mind. The sexy musk was consuming her. She wanted her men badly, and gasped as Tank bent down and took her other breast in his mouth. Sonny brushed his lips over her neck. Her hands slid down their chests and found their hardened cocks. She wanted them but didn’t have the voice to tell them not to stop their excessive torment.

  She moaned, arching her breasts into the air, holding them out like a prize waiting to be won. She reached down with her fingers, sliding them up and down, mimicking the characters in her favorite novels on how to bring pleasure to her men. Her men smiled as Kit’s touch engraved pure desire into them.

  Sonny whispered in Kit’s ear, “Your smell is driving me crazy. I need to taste you.” He started kissing down her neck with light kisses, just enough to drive Kit into a bundle of excitement.

  Tank began to pinch her nipples with one hand then ran one finger down into her pussy, pushing it in and out, learning her body. The moisture was leaking down onto his fingers. He flicked his finger over her clit. Kit’s orgasm slammed into her so fast she didn’t feel Sonny pick her up and place her on top of Tank’s cock, sliding her down slowly. Before she could speak, she felt him move up into her body slowly. The feeling was incredible and she wanted more. She pushed down as Tank was pushing up into her.

  “It feels so good, Tank,” Kit couldn’t help but say.

  Tank didn’t want to hurt Kit by going too fast; he needed to slow her down. He knew he was big, add to that she was a virgin and he knew he could hurt her if he slammed into her. However, Kit couldn’t slowdown, her body demanded Tank take her fast. Tank grabbed her head, pulling her down toward him, kissing her, fisting her hair around his hand, trying to distract her as he broke through her virginal barrier.

  Kit felt the slight twinge of pain as she lost her virginity, then she could only feel the fullness of Tank inside her. Her hand slid over the hard muscles of his chest. She started pinching Tank’s nipples and Tank gasped when she did. Kit loved the way they responded to her. Triumph ran through her system. She felt whole as they worked on claiming her, every touch and kiss was like a piece of her soul that had been missing snapped into place, they were turning in to being her everything.

  Sonny was behind Kit kissing her back and neck with tiny little kisses that were sending her body into tiny orgasms. She groaned as she felt Sonny grab the cheeks of her ass. She heard a tube opening and felt cool liquid trickling down her backside.

  Sonny whispered into her ear, “Are you ready, babe?”

  “Yes, I’m burning up. Please make it stop, Sonny.”

  He ran a finger to her most private place, rubbing the lubrication around in circles. She moaned because it felt so good. Sonny gently pushed one finger in, pushing through the rings. Slowly he pulled his finger in and out. She groaned loudly, feeling the pleasure that was so foreign to her.

  “Oh, Sonny,” she moaned his name.

  “Just feel, babe. We want this to feel good,” Sonny said as he licked Kit down her spine to the crevice between her cheeks.

  She had never felt this way before. She couldn’t believe she didn’t care what they were doing to her. She wanted more. She couldn’t believe the way she was feeling. What happened to wanting to take it slow and get to know each other first? Then she felt Sonny put another finger inside her, again pulling his fingers in and out, scissoring them to prepare her for his size. Tank stopped his slow pumping motions, palming her breasts, pinching her hardened nubs, giving Sonny time to prepare her. A deep moan broke from Kit’s lips.

  “Yes, yes, please, I need more, please,” she begged.

  Sonny placed another finger inside her intimate opening trying to go slow in order to prepare her body for his size. Her skin was tingling all over with a light sheen of sweat peppering her body. Her throbbing center was craving to be touched. She wanted Tank to move. The sensations running through her body were pushing her to move.

  Then she felt Sonny‘s bulbous tip of his cock gently press against her back opening. He slowly eased into her and she shivered at the feeling of fullness. She couldn’t control the thrust she gave against Sonny, pushing him into her body.

  “Yes,” she wailed.

  “Kit, honey, please. We need to go slow. I don’t want to hurt you.”

  “I don’t want slow. Please, I need it now, NOW,” Kit screamed.

  Tank and Sonny’s control snapped and both started pumping in and out of her. She felt like she was going to pass out. The feeling was indescribable. Their panting matched her labored breath. Both of her men were touching her all over, kissing her body, pushing her closer to climax. Their heavy breathing filled the air in Kit’s small bedroom. She knew the others in the house had to hear their heavy breathing and moaning. She felt as if she was in another world. It was as if she just didn’t care at all. All she wanted to do was feel the passion from them. She started to see spots and then she let out a loud cry as she came.

  She felt Sonny picking up his pace as his thrust one last time with a loud cry, calling her name, releasing his climax. Tank grabbed her closer, slamming up into her with a loud moan escaping his lips as he too released his climax into her. She had come repeatedly, falling onto Tank, passing out.

  Tank and Sonny both smiled at each other, feeling they had awakened a sex fiend. Together they would face the darkness that was threatening them, because nothing would take her away from them now, they had a taste of heaven, and there was no going back now.

  ∞ ∞ ∞

  “Shit,” Kit screamed as she opened her eyes and sat up in bed. Looking around, she groaned, then she heard footsteps. Not wanting to share that she had a sex dream about them and had actually creamed in her panties from it, she scrambled to the floor and laid flat.

  When the door flew open she had her hands behind her head and knees bent and was lifting herself. “Hey, guys,” she said breathlessly.

  “What is going on?” Tank growled and looked around like there was a threat in the room
she was hiding.

  “Doing sit-ups, fifty every night,” she said.

  “You were cussing and we heard some moaning,” Sonny said with a grin.

  “Well yeah, I hate sit-ups,” she said and rolled her eyes.

  “It is the middle of the night,” Tank said.

  “I know, best time to do them my doctor said,” Kit lied and then smiled. “Just shut the door on your way out, okay.”

  The guys shook their head and did exactly what she asked. When she heard the click on the door she groaned and threw an arm over her eyes and cussed to herself in peace, she was such a dork.

  Chapter Ten

  The last two days had been a flurry of activity. Sting and Zero had both shown up with large bags and had put them in the large bedroom until the cabin could be freed up. They needed cleaning and the titles were still waiting for signatures.

  Kit kept mostly out of the way, or she tried to but Sonny and Tank seemed to want her involved with everything. Decisions, preparations, and most of all, they wanted her to know she was safe. But the constant touching was slowly driving her out of her mind—something was going to have to give.

  Every night for the past two nights she had erotic dreams with them being the stars, and every night she woke sweating and panting, wanting them more and more as the hours of darkness separated them.

  She knew they had to be feeling it too, the electricity in the air was tangible, even the two new men had smiled and laughed when she had blushed when they kissed her on the head.

  Zero and Sting left the next afternoon, they were going to slip into their positions and hopefully start finding information they would need to get them out of hiding. Kit was going to go mad if she had to remain locked up with Sonny and Tank for much longer, they were too damn sexy for their own good.

  “Babe,” Sonny called. “Going to start dinner. Thought we would keep it simple and have pasta.”
