  Chapter Five

  Horror gripped Alex. How could she have let herself do such an inappropriate thing in a public dressing room? And now she was about to get caught.

  Jeff motioned for her to keep quiet even as Kane wrapped his arms around her waist in a possessive manner. They remained quiet and unmoving, listening to the women as they roamed around the store and shopped.

  “Ladies, remember that everything’s twenty percent off today.”

  Although she hadn’t met the woman, it didn’t take a genius to figure out that the voice belonged to the store’s owner, Debbie.

  “I see you’ve gotten in some new items.”

  “You see right, Courtney. Help yourself while I go and straighten things up in the back.”

  Alex drew in a breath and held it. Debbie’s footsteps, accented by the sound of high heels on the linoleum floor, heralded her approach. Yet, although Alex was terrified that the woman would discover them, she couldn’t help but notice that Kane’s cock had stayed firm inside her pussy.

  She wasn’t so much amazed as delighted when he started rocking his hips, moving his cock up and down again. Lust, pure and simple, filled her again, but now it had an extra bonus of titillation to it. She’d never taken part in any public sexual romps before, had never understood why anyone would want to. But she did now.

  The danger of getting caught gave her a rush that magnified the feelings already coursing through her body. A giggle threatened to escape her.

  Once again, Jeff put his finger to his lips. When one giggle escaped, he grabbed the scarf from the hook and held it out to her, silently warning her that he’d have to gag her if she didn’t stop. The bulge in his jeans came level with her mouth, and all at once, the urged to giggle passed. Instead, another urge, more primal, came to her. She looked up at him and licked her lips.

  The footsteps stopped right outside the dressing room door. “Hello? Is anyone in there?”

  Jeff’s eyes widened and his gaze slid to Kane. She craned her neck around to see Kane glaring at Jeff. But the clenching of his jaw spoke to the need still pushing him to have her. He rammed into her again, almost bucking her off.

  Jeff motioned for her to answer. She shot him a “why me” look before acknowledging that, of course, she had to be the one to speak up. “Uh, yes, I’m just trying on a few things.”

  Debbie paused before answering, and at first, Alex was sure they’d been found out.

  “Sure thing, sweetie. Is there anything I can get you?”

  Another giggle leapt out of her before she could restrain herself. Were they really getting away with it? “No, ma’am. I’m fine. You go ahead and wait on someone else, okay?”

  “Sure, sweetie. You just holler if you need anything. I’m here to please you.”

  Please me? No thanks. Kane and Jeff will take care of that.

  Instead, she managed to answer with, “Thanks. I will.”

  Even Kane joined Jeff and her as they tried to keep from laughing. But a woman could only laugh so long when faced with two sexy cowboys. Her lust overwhelmed her, wiping away her humor.

  Jeff tugged his T-shirt out of his jeans and shucked it to the floor. He was as massive and as wide as Kane. Golden hairs sprinted down his chest and grew thicker at that sexy spot between his navel and the top of his jeans. With a wicked gleam in his eyes, he unbuttoned then unzipped his jeans. He toed off his boots then got rid of them and his jeans.

  His cock, unbridled by any underwear, sprang out at her. She licked her lips again and drew his cock into her mouth. His flavors flowed over and under her tongue, and she dragged on him, wanting even more of it.

  Jeff took the back of her head and guided his cock in and out. The muscles in his legs worked, highlighting the tanned skin. He eased his hips backward and forward, hard enough to drive his cock into her mouth, but not too far to choke her.

  Kane thrust into her again then took her arms and held them in front of her, offering them to Jeff. She wondered what he was up to until Jeff whipped the scarf around her wrists. Like he was hogtieing a calf at a rodeo, he had her hands bound within seconds.

  But Jeff wasn’t finished with her sucking on his cock. She took hold of him, lacing her fingers around his shaft as she tugged, drinking up every ounce of his taste.

  “Jeff, come on.” Kane’s low voice was filled with a hard edge that told of how close he was to letting his release fly.

  “Take it easy, man,” whispered Jeff.

  Alex swore she’d die if Debbie knocked on the door again. And yet, the idea that it could happen made the rush of having the men even better.

  Something had happened to her since coming to Destiny. She’d lost control of her emotions and command of her senses.

  No. It’s not Destiny. I haven’t changed because I came to this town. I’ve changed because of them.

  No man, much less two of them, had ever stirred her like they did. She wanted them, their bodies and their minds. But most of all, as shocking as it was to her, she realized she wanted their hearts.

  The old protective mode, the one forged from so many heartaches, leapt into life.

  Don’t go there. You always get hurt when you go there.

  She shoved all hopes of their encounter being anything but amazing sex out of her mind. It was safer that way.

  Taking hold of the end of the scarf, Jeff yanked her arms above her head and tied the end of it to the hook above Kane’s head. Her breasts jiggled, eliciting a quiet moan from Jeff.

  Kane slid lower, then slammed into her and clutched her breasts, squeezing them until it hurt. She didn’t mind. In fact, she wanted more pain to go along with the sex. Kane lifted her off him then grabbed the blouse hanging on the other hook and let his climax go. His body shuddered, probably more so because he couldn’t make a sound.

  Her body felt bereft, lonely after Kane’s withdrawal, but she didn’t have long to suffer. Jeff pulled her to her feet then turned her sideways to face the mirror. She refused to look at herself, and instead, locked her gaze with his as he leaned over her from behind.

  Keeping his voice low, he said, “Do you like it rough, baby? We can’t do much here, but we can do this.”

  The sting of his slap against her rump brought a fresh wave of desire. Another spank followed the first one. “Do you want it? Don’t tell me. Show me you do.”

  She wiggled her butt, enticing him to go on.

  He took her breast in his hand and squeezed it hard. “Damn, but you’re a pretty sight. Your ass is all pink and ready for more.”

  He slapped her butt cheek again then pinched her nipple between his fingers. The delicious pain whipped into her skin, then traveled inward to mix with the riot of other feelings his touch gave her. She closed her eyes, wanting to savor every second.

  “Uh-uh. Don’t you go closing your eyes. I want you to see your face when you come,” Jeff whispered.

  She opened her eyes, and the lust on his face alone could’ve made her come. Another spank and a twist of her nipple rushed pain from both sides of her to meet in the middle. And yet, even as her mind gave way to her body’s control, she realized that the spankings were as much for her as they were for them. They were making sure that she was satisfied first.

  Kane, fully clothed, rested against the other wall. He watched, his expression intense, his need apparent.

  Jeff slipped a hand around her thigh and between her legs. He leaned closer to whisper in her ear. “Remember the other day when I lapped up your sweet juices? You tasted so good.”

  She glanced at Kane. A flicker of anger came and went across his face.

  She shivered, but it wasn’t from the cool air coming from the air conditioning vent above them. Instead, she dropped her gaze down, coaxing him to taste her again.

  “Naw, baby. Not today.”

  She’d never realized how a whisper could sound so erotic. The sound of his voice against her ear was more intoxicating than any wine or drug.

  He plunged two fingers into
her pussy, making her gasp. Moving his fingers inside her pussy had her trying to squeeze her legs together. If he didn’t stop soon, she’d explode and shout her orgasm to Debbie and the other ladies.

  “Sweetie, are you doing all right in there? Can I get you any other sizes?”

  Alex held her breath, sure that even if Debbie hadn’t heard anything, she had to smell the sexual musk that cocooned them. “No. I’m okay. I’m just really slow trying on things.”

  “Don’t you fret none. You go ahead and take your time. No rush.”

  Still, it was several seconds before Alex heard the sound of Debbie’s footsteps.

  Jeff put his mouth to her ear again and his warm breath washed over her. “I wish we had more time, but I think we’re going to be shit out of luck if we don’t get out of here soon.”

  She wanted to beg him not to stop, but he was right. They couldn’t get caught. Still she had to wonder, would getting found out be even sexier?

  He thrust his fingers into her again and massaged her clit with his thumb. “That’s it, baby. Let it go. I want to feel your cream run over my hand.”

  She thrust out her breasts, daring to tempt him to stay longer. She didn’t care if Debbie and the entire town caught them. All that mattered was having Jeff as she’d had Kane.

  He worked his fingers faster, deeper, and added his other hand to massage her clit. The pulsing from her clit throbbed its way outward, warning of the coming orgasm. His fingers sought out and found her sweet spot.

  “Look at yourself, baby,” whispered Jeff.

  She lifted her gaze. Her eyes were clouded over, her lips parted just enough to show the tip of her pink tongue.

  I look…sexy.

  As though the thought had broken her last thread on control, she couldn’t hold back the rising tide of her climax. She started to cry out, but Jeff abruptly turned her to face him. He crushed his mouth to hers, muffling the sound.

  He kept on finger-fucking her even as her body jerked, letting the release have its way with her. His tongue swept through her mouth, drinking up her tastes and devouring her moan. She shuddered as the climax reached its pinnacle then, like the aftershocks following an earthquake, broke into bursts of a lust that poured out of her and over his hand.

  Jeff wrapped his arms around her, supporting her as she let her body fall. “Kane.”

  Kane, dressed now, rose at Jeff’s whispered command and untied the scarf from the hook. Gently, he undid the binding around her wrists. Together, they lowered her to the bench.

  For the first time that she could remember, she was unashamed to be naked in front of someone else. She waited for her racing heart and her breathing to return to normal.

  “Sweetie, I hate like crazy to bother you again, but are you sure you’re all right in there?”

  The compulsion to laugh wouldn’t be denied this time. Alex let it out, her laughter startling the men. “I’m sure. I’ll be right out, okay?”

  Jeff and she dressed as fast as they could. Kane shot hard looks at Jeff, but Jeff ignored them.

  “Will you two stop it?”

  They froze, stunned at the tone in her voice. When Kane started to speak, she snapped her fingers in front of him, keeping him mute.

  “You two act like you’re sworn enemies, but I know that’s not true. So, here’s the deal. I like both of you so get used to it. No. Keep quiet and listen up.” She snapped her finger again, silencing the surprised Jeff. “If you want to continue seeing me”—is that the right word for what we’re doing?—“then you’ll have to figure it out. Am I making myself clear?”

  They nodded their heads. The muscle in Kane’s jaw tightened and he started to speak, but she silenced him again with a pointed look. Snapping her fingers at Jeff kept him from laughing at Kane.

  “Be sure about it. Think about it long and hard and get back to me. Until then, this date’s over.” How could she continue on the date with the both of them?

  She opened the door to the dressing room and peeked down the hallway. Thankfully, Debbie was preoccupied with another customer. Picking up the blouse Kane had used to wipe his body clean, she thrust it at him. “You used it, so you pay for it.”

  Then, unable to resist, she gave them as sultry a look as she could manage and left the room. As she passed by Debbie behind the register and the customer she was helping, Alex made sure that she spoke in loud, clear tones.

  “Miss Debbie, I think there’s a couple of men hanging out by the dressing rooms. You’d better take a look.” She feigned a worried expression then got out of the store as fast as she could.

  * * * *

  “Alex?”

  Alex shivered with the memory of Jeff’s hand between her legs and Kane’s cock inside her pussy. Jeff’s blue eyes assaulted her, challenging her to look away. She knew she never wanted to.

  “Alex?”

  She blinked, suddenly aware that she was staring at the papers in front her. “Huh? What?”

  Daisy bumped her hip against her in a playful manner then set the cup of tea on the desk. “Where were you just now?”

  “I’m sorry?”

  Daisy had a way of looking at her that said she already knew the answer to her question. “I’ve been calling your name for the past few minutes. Girl, whatever, or should I say whoever you were thinking about has really got you hooked. Let me tell you, the expression on your face was priceless. I only wish I could afford that kind of look for myself.”

  Alex glanced away. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

  “The hell you don’t.” Daisy slid into the big armchair across from the desk. “If I was a betting woman, and I am, I’d lay odds that you were thinking about two very sexy cowboys. Am I right?”

  The short time Alex had stayed at Daisy’s B and B had brought them close, almost too close. Sometimes she wondered if Daisy could read her mind. Although it wasn’t as though she had to. Alex had already spilled her guts about Jeff and Kane. Even about their time in the dressing room.

  But the dressing room fun had been two days ago. Since then she hadn’t heard a word from either one of them.

  The old familiar churning in her stomach came back, heralding the possibility that she’d fallen for their game. Now that they’d had her, they weren’t interested any longer.

  Were they Destiny’s version of “Wham, bam, thank you, ma’am”?

  All of a sudden, she wished she’d kept her mouth shut about them. Getting used was bad enough when only she knew about it. But it was worse that Daisy would know it soon enough.

  “I’m going to change the subject now. If I don’t, I’m not going to get any work done.” She took a sip and got a blast of the “hot” in the Daisy’s toddy.

  Daisy loved her spiked drinks. Or as she said often enough, “Ya gotta put a little starch back in your drawers at the end of a long day.”

  “Okay, I’ll play along. So how’s it coming? Have you found a place for the Johnsons?”

  “I think so. Maybe. But it’s closer to Tulsa than Destiny.” She frowned at the paperwork. “And the house isn’t very big.”

  “No word on Doug’s place?”

  Alex wouldn’t say anything bad about Mr. Wilkin, although she’d been surprised when he’d refused to let the Johnson family rent his extra house. It seemed not everyone in the small town was as kind as the people she’d run into.

  Another twist in her stomach gave her a second thought. Maybe Jeff and Kane weren’t as friendly as she’d thought they were. She turned the bracelet Kane had bought for her around her wrist then forced the thought of them away.

  “Mr. Wilkin turned us down.”

  Daisy muttered a few choice words. “It doesn’t surprise me. Doug’s always been a tight son of a bitch. He’s probably holding out for more rent money since it’s coming from the state and not the Johnsons.”

  “Maybe, but if he is, he’s going to be disappointed. It’s not in the budget. The home near Tulsa is, though. Milly and Gerald are up there checki
ng it out.”

  “Lucky dogs. A day away from their brood will do them good.”

  Alex had to give Daisy credit. She’d taken the Johnson family in without expecting any payment. Plus, she helped Milly with the kids, too.

  “Where are the kids, anyway? It’s way too quiet.”

  “They’re upstairs, watching one of those cartoon movies. Not that it’ll last long. I’m sure Mikey’s already getting into trouble.” Daisy glanced upstairs then took a sip of her own drink. “I hope Milly likes the rental home. Any word on how soon they’ll get started on rebuilding their house?”

  “I’m working with the insurance company, and they’re doing what they can to get things moving faster, but it’s still going to take a few months.”

  “Okay. Until then, it’s up to their neighbors, excluding skinflint Wilkin.” Daisy couldn’t have said the man’s name in a more scornful way. “So how’s your brother working out at the ranch?”

  What was it they said? No news was good news? “As far as I know, he’s still working. At least I assume he is since neither Kane nor Jeff has said anything.”

  No word of any kind. Not about Avery and not for me.

  She tried to tell herself that it didn’t matter in either case. But she couldn’t shake the feeling that everything wasn’t right with Avery.

  They both turned toward the sound of a vehicle driving up to the house. The hollers of the Johnson kids and the sound of footsteps thundering down the steps brought them to their feet. Daisy pulled the curtain aside and peeked out.

  “Were you expecting Kane?”

  “No. Is it him?” Alex hopped up, then saw the grin on Daisy’s face. “Not a word. And no, I haven’t got a clue why he’s here.”

  Daisy peered out the window again. “I think I know why. Come on, let’s check it out.”

  Daisy was already at the front door, left wide open by the Johnson kids, before she noticed that Alex hadn’t taken one step. “What’s wrong?”

  How could she tell her friend that she was embarrassed to see him? How could she tell her that she didn’t want to make herself feel any worse than she already did? Could she face Kane and act like nothing had happened? Or worse, would she turn into one of those women who demanded to know why a man hadn’t called her?
