A New Beginning [Liberty, Wyoming] (Siren Publishing Menage Amour) Read online

  She smiled sadly but tried to lighten the mood. “That’s going to be hard since I’ll cry over commercials sometimes, or if I’m happy, or if I see someone else cry. There are a lot of things that can set me off.”

  She pulled his hands from her face. “I’m going to ask you to leave this alone. This is between me and Gina…”

  “Fuck that. That’s not going to happen, sweetheart. I’ve seen how she’s treated you and I’ve let it go, hoping it would work itself out in time. I should have put a stop to it the first time I noticed it.”

  Jake looked at Gina, his eyes narrowed and intent and took a deep breath. “Baby, why don’t you go check on Callie. I’ll be up in a bit,” he said without looking at Sara.

  “Jake, please…”

  He looked sternly at Sara. “Do what I say. We’ll talk later, now go.”

  “But…”

  “Go now.”

  Sara turned and walked out of the room, exhaling the pent-up breath stuck in her throat. She hugged her arms around her middle. She hated that Gina felt this way and wished Jake had given her time to get to know her. She walked up the steps. When she got to the top, she stopped and turned, listening to them argue in the kitchen.

  She reminded herself this wasn’t her doing. Although understandable, she didn’t deserve the treatment she’d been receiving from the woman. Her shoulder went back and she lifted her chin, she wouldn’t leave, she made a promise to them last night and she planned to keep it. Sara pasted on a smile and opened the door to wake Callie.

  Chapter 14

  Jake closed his eyes and squeezed the bridge of his nose. A deep sigh of frustration ripped from him. He crossed his arms over his chest and leveled a look at Gina.

  Anger came off him in waves.

  She had never seen him this angry with a woman, not even when Christy tore up their lives.

  “If you were anybody else you would have been fired and kicked off this property already.” He shook his head at her and rubbed the back of his head. “Goddamn it.”

  “Jake—”

  “Shut up.” He took a deep breath. “I get it, you’re trying to protect us. I do, I get it. But I’m telling you now and I won’t tell you again. I love that woman more than I’ve ever loved a woman in my life and if I lose her, if you drive her away I’ll never forgive you.”

  “Jake…” Gina gripped the counter behind her as tears moistened her eyes.

  Jake gritted his teeth in frustration. “Stop. If you hadn’t been against her from the start you would have gotten to know her. She’s nothing like Christy. And I’m very disappointed you don’t trust us to know what we want and to see her for who she is. She’s one of the sweetest, most loving woman and we’re damn lucky she’s here.”

  Gina was silently crying. “I’m so sorry, Jake. I hope I have misjudged her, I really do. Just please don’t be so trusting until you know her better. You don’t know if she’s here for money…”

  “Stop.” Jake clenched his jaw before he continued. “That saddens me, Gina. Do you not think Grant and I are good enough for a woman to love us without our money?”

  She shook her head and opened her mouth to deny it.

  He interrupted her. “Don’t say anything more, please. I’m telling you right now, I don’t want to ever hear you talk to her like you did. She doesn’t deserve it. You’ll have to trust me to know she’s a good person. I’m not going to fire you but I am going to talk to your husband.”

  Gina covered her mouth with her hands.

  “He can take care of your punishment.” He turned to go find Sara but turned back to Gina. “By the way, Sara doesn’t need our money. She’s got more money than she can spend in two lifetimes. And think about this, isn’t it funny that she was worried about you, even after you hurt her feelings?”

  Gina watched him walk away. A ragged feeling of pain tore through her and she choked on a sob. What did I do? She turned to lean against the sink and let her tears fall. What if she was the woman they had been looking for? Had she screwed it up for them? She knew not only would the men never forgive her, she’d never forgive herself. She rubbed her head where a headache throbbed under her temples.

  She looked out the window over the sink and spotted a ranch hand talking to her husband. She trembled. She was defiantly getting punished tonight after Jake talked with her husband.

  Her husband had told her many times to stop and give the girl a chance, but she hadn’t listened. Yeah, she was getting punished and she deserved every smack to her ass that she got.

  * * * *

  Jake took the stairs two at a time, wanting to see Sara as soon as he could. He needed to see she was okay. He heard them before he saw them and smiled at the sounds coming from the room. He walked into Callie’s room to see her thrashing around on her bed giggling hysterically and Sara leaning over her, tickling her, laughing herself.

  His smile widened. He leaned against the doorjamb, crossed his ankles and folded his arms over his chest, settling in to watch the show.

  Sara smiled down at Callie, stopped tickling and laughed. “Are you going to get out of bed now?”

  Callie giggled and yelled at Sara. “No!”

  Sara growled playfully and raised her hands above the little girl’s wiggling body. “Then I have to torture you again, darn it.” She lowered her hands and started tickling her, laughing at Callie.

  This happened two more times until they both fell to the bed laughing and trying to catch their breaths. They both looked up in surprise when Jake stepped into the room. He shook his head at Sara when her smile died and she looked at him questionably. “Hey you two, are you going to stay in bed all day?”

  The girls looked at each other, smiling. Callie popped up and laughed. “Yes!”

  Sara turned to attack her again but fell back to the mattress when Jake sat beside her on the bed and reached over her to tickle his little girl. He threw a leg over Sara’s hips when she tried to squirm out of their way.

  She looked wide-eyed at Jake. She could look at him and Grant all day and never get tired of it. She especially loved watching him with Callie. For such a hard man, he was a total softy when it came to his daughter.

  Callie rolled away from them and jumped off the bed running to the bathroom yelling, “I have to potty, I have to potty,” making the adults laugh.

  Their laughs died when the door closed behind her and Jake looked down at her. She opened her mouth but he just shook his head, instantly silencing her. Slowly he leaned down, watching her intently and took her lips gently. The sweetness of the kiss made her whimper and she reached for him, closing her eyes, giving herself over to him.

  He moaned into her mouth when she instantly submitted to him and opened her mouth for him. He deepened the kiss, stroking his tongue over hers, becoming more possessive as the seconds ticked by. His hands started moving over her, and when she reached for him, he grabbed her wrists and put them over her head. “Leave them there, don’t move them.” He went back to kissing her and sliding his hands over her breasts, squeezing and pinching her nipples through her shirt before sliding down and under her long skirt, straight to the heart of her.

  Sara moaned as her legs slid apart, making room for the large, demanding hand cupping her pussy through her panties.

  A growl erupted from his mouth. “I want these things gone, Sara.” He pulled the silky fabric out of the way for his exploration. “I don’t want to see another pair as long as I live. Do you understand me?”

  All she could do was nod, wide-eyed.

  A pulsing need was pushing him to take more of her when Jake heard the bathroom door start to open. He moved quickly, pulling Sara’s skirt down and sitting up but not away from Sara. He couldn’t stop looking down at her. She was still in the position he put her in. Her arms over her head, with her eyes closed, waiting for him. Callie ignored them to go to her closet to pick out clothes for the day which gave him time to rub his thumb over her puffy lips, gaining her attention.

  H
e smiled gently at her when she looked up at him, her eyes unfocused. Her eyes widened when she heard Callie in her closet. She jerked her head toward the sound and looked back at Jake in horror. She tried to push him away so she could sit up but he held her down. “You're fine, baby. She hasn’t even looked this way.”

  She stared at him, relaxed, exhaled and nodded her understanding.

  His eyes narrowed on her as he bent to speak close to her ear. “Although, I’m telling you now, she better get used to seeing us kiss and touch you because it’s going to happen a lot.”

  She shook her head.

  A smug smile crossed his face and he nodded. “Oh, yes, it is.” He rubbed a finger over her lips and then took her arms and pulled her up to sit on the side of the bed. He looked over and smiled at Callie. He barely held back his amusement at the outfit his little girl had picked today. A yellow striped skirt with a purple top and her pink boots. It was actually one of the more suitable outfits she had picked lately. “Are you hungry, sweetheart?”

  “Yes, Daddy.” Callie twirled one more time in front of her mirror to admire herself before going to Jake.

  “Good, how about the three of us go down and eat together?”

  Sara bit her lip and shook her head. She knew he was trying to protect her. “Jake you don’t have to…”

  He just looked at her with a stern warning that made her stop talking.

  Callie skipped over to Jake and raised her arms, demanding he pick her up, which he did, laughing at her. He took Sara’s hand and led her out of the room and down the stairs. When they sat down in the dining room. “What would you ladies like to eat this morning?”

  Callie giggled. “I want an egg and a toast.”

  “Please,” Sara reminded her.

  “Please, Daddy.”

  He looked to Sara. “I’ll just have coffee please.”

  He shook his head at her and crossed his arms. “You haven’t eaten, right?”

  “Um.” She frowned at Jake but he frowned back at her and waited. “I guess I’ll have what she’s having.”

  Jake nodded, pleased, and turned to go into the kitchen. She heard low voices coming from the kitchen. She relaxed her shoulders when she didn’t hear angry voices. Several minutes later, Gina and Jake came back, Gina carrying the orange juice and coffee and Jake the two plates.

  Sara kept her eyes down and said thank you softly to Gina and was surprised when she said you’re welcome just as softly. When she looked at Jake, he didn’t say anything, just concentrated on helping Callie.

  She knew he didn’t miss the exchange when he sat down and winked at her and smiled. She had the feeling that much didn’t get past him. He was entirely too observant.

  Chapter 15

  Sara kept Callie on her schedule, and the rest of the day went by quietly, even lunch was pleasant. Grant met them for lunch in the dining room and Sara knew Jake had told him about this morning and wanted to be here to support her.

  Her eyes misted. The love she felt for these men seemed to grow every day.

  After putting Callie down for the night, she decided to make it an early night. She had seen the men walk into the office and close the door after dinner and hadn’t seen them since.

  Sara yawned and made the decision to go to her room and get ready for bed. After last night, she needed a good night’s sleep.

  She came out of the bathroom, tying the sash on her long white silk robe and froze. She used her hand to muffle the startled screech that burst from her when she saw Grant sitting on the bed and Jake pacing in front of the door.

  “What’s going on?” she whispered nervously, her eyes wide and heart beating loudly in her ears. Her body was immediately aware of them. She pressed her legs together, trying to stop the staggering, instant need that raged through her body.

  Jake’s eyes narrowed intently on her, and crossed his massive arms over his chest. “Stop.” Sara’s eyes widened and flew back to Jake. Her body jerked at his demand. “Stop what?”

  Jake scowled. “Stop squeezing your legs together. Grant and I will take care of your needs.” He curled his finger at her. “Come here, honey,” he demanded gently.

  Instantly, before her mind made the decision to obey, her body was moving toward him. She stopped a few feet in front of him.

  “Closer.” His voice raspy, rough.

  She stepped closer and inhaled the hot, musky scent that rolled off him.

  He lifted a hand and curled a stray lock of hair around his finger and rubbed his knuckles against her cheek. His gaze stayed on her as he took another step forward to press his chest against hers. He reached up and pulled the clip off that held her hair on her head. “I like your hair down.”

  “I just put it up for my shower, Jake,” she whispered as she nervously twisted her hands in the sash of her robe.

  His arm tightened around her waist, pressing their bodies tightly together. He leaned down and pulled her hair back and her robe to the side, nuzzling the sensitive spot between her neck and shoulder, pulling a desperate moan out of her.

  Her neck weakened, making her drop her head back, leaving herself open to him, giving him full access. Her hands shot out to grip his muscular arms to keep herself from sinking to the carpet.

  She gasped when she was hoisted up against his chest and walked to the bed. The feel of his erection rubbing against her sent a shiver racing through her and more moisture to slide from her.

  Jake laid her down on the bed beside Grant.

  Grant turned her toward him and lowered his head, nipping at her lips. He unbelted her robe and pushed it aside before he laid his warm, chafed hand on her stomach, making her muscles clench with need. He pushed his lips tighter against hers and deepened the kiss, pushing his tongue into the deep recesses of her mouth.

  They both moaned.

  She clung to his shoulders. Her whole world shrank to these men, to this moment. Her robe was twisted, holding her arms pinned to her sides. Grant raised his head and glanced at Jake over her body, his lips shiny from their kissing, his eyes glazed with desire.

  Sara tried to turn toward Jake but was unable to move. She pulled, trying to get loose. When she couldn’t, she growled and opened her eyes to see the men looking down at her.

  “Perfect,” Grant said, smiling. “Poor baby. You can’t move, can you, baby?” His gaze ran down her body. “I’d keep you like this forever if I could.” His voice heavy with desire, a sultry smile spreading across his face.

  Sara started twisting, sounds of need coming from her throat. Her frustration grew quickly. She pushed out and down with her legs, trying to move her body up the bed and maybe help loosen the robe.

  Jake tilted her head toward him with a hand on her chin. A laugh huffed out of his mouth at the contortions that stretched her body. “Open your eyes.” The tight gruff tone of his voice quickly got her attention. “Stop twisting,” he said, trying to make his voice firm.

  She tried to focus her hazy green eyes, dark with passion, on Jake’s face. Her gaze settled for a few seconds but the demands of her body were too strong for her to control.

  “Stop, baby. We’ll give you what you need but not until you stop.” Grant’s hands stopped gliding over her sweat-dampened skin, making the muscles in her stomach tighten further.

  Sara took several deep breaths and tried to calm down enough to lie quietly. But when she wasn’t moving, the burn of desire drove her hunger higher, making the ache in her stomach deepen intensely, making her cry out. Tears ran down her face. “It hurts. I need…”

  “We’re going to help you, baby, but you have to do what you’re told, do you understand me? You can do this for us, can’t you?” When she nodded, Jake moved down the bed and between her legs. He widened her legs, placing them over his shoulders.

  Sara shivered and started moving to get away, digging her heels into the mattress, embarrassed at him looking at her most private parts with the lights bright overhead. She screamed when his hand came down on her swollen cli
t.

  “I’m only going to say this one more time,” he said, his voice rough and his breath harsh and hot against her inner thighs. “You move again and I will punish you and I’m warning you, you’ll not like it. How would you like to be left like this for a while? Not being able to get the relief your body is demanding.”

  He watched, his eyes narrowed at her, silently while she fought her body’s need. Jake’s exhaled roughly when she got some semblance of control. He didn’t want to have to punish her tonight. He wanted to touch her, and give them all relief. He also needed to taste her, to feed off her. “That’s a good girl. I’m so proud of you. Now we can reward you.” He watched her eyes while he spread her with his fingers and leaned in and swiped his tongue through her slit. He smiled when she moaned deep in her throat, and her body twitched but didn’t move.

  Grant cupped her breast and bent to take the nipple into his mouth, tugging at the nipple, nipping at it before suckling strongly. He could touch, pluck, and suck on her nipples all day. He loved how they instantly responded to each and every touch, the nipples hardened and turned a beautiful shade of red.

  Oh God, she was going out of her mind. Jake was doing things to her she couldn’t grasp. The feelings were flying through her so quickly, she couldn’t grasp one before the feelings moved on. She never knew her breasts could be this sensitive. Her body felt like it was going to splinter into a million pieces. “Please, please. I can’t take anymore.” Her head thrashed back and forth on her pillow.

  Grant held her face still to get her attention. “We’ll take care of you, sweetheart, but Jake’s not done tasting you yet.” He chuckled when she groaned harshly and tried to shake her head.

  Jake pushed a big blunt-tipped finger slowly into her pussy, stretching her sensitive tissues. A groan ripped from him when she clamped down tightly on it. “We’re going to let you come now, baby, because we know you’re hurting and then we’ll get to the rest.” Before she could say anything, Grant started suckling on her breasts again, Jake pushed two fingers into her tight sheath, and then sucked her clit into his mouth.
