Their Virgin Hostage, Masters of Ménage, Book 5 (18 page)

He had to stop cussing like a fucking sailor in front of
her.

“Stop apologizing, Law. I like you the way you are. Will
you…kiss me? Touch me?”

“Gladly.” He covered her lips with his and got ready to
teach her everything. She deserved all he could give her and more.

* * * *

Kinley
really deserved better than
him, Dominic decided. He stomped to the liquor cabinet and poured himself three
fingers of Scotch. Thank god the James brothers had excellent taste in liquor.

He downed it without really tasting it and poured a second
glass.

“What do we do now?” Riley asked, his voice tight.

Because the guy thought he’d just lost his brother. Dominic
conceded that he might be right. “We do what Law asked. We respect his rights.”

Law meant to claim
Kinley
and
become her rightful Master. He would be the one to take her hand and her
virginity, then lead her into the world of Dominance and submission they’d all
come to crave.

God, once Law took her under his wing, even if he forgave
Dominic, the woman would probably still drive a wedge between them. He hated
that fact. And he saw only one way to avoid it. Give in.

Law also had damn fine instincts. Did he sense that
Kinley
could handle what they all needed? Dominic paced,
his thoughts racing before he paused to pour more Scotch. Instead, he put the
bottle down and stared out the door, toward
Kinley’s
room. Had he made a mistake? Had he just thrown away something precious?

“Law is going to regret this, right?” Riley’s stare, too,
trailed to the hallway where Law had just disappeared.

“I don’t know.” Dominic wasn’t sure what to think. He’d been
so certain earlier what path to choose. Now, he was at a loss. All because he
couldn’t stop thinking about one blonde—who just happened to be the key to the
revenge he’d made the cornerstone of his life for years. If he embraced one,
did it necessarily mean he had to give up the other?

“You want to join them, don’t you?” Riley’s tone came out
almost like an accusation.

“Don’t you?” Dominic turned on him. He could see plainly
that Riley was struggling as well. He’d seen how Riley looked at
Kinley
, the way his eyes kept straying to her mouth, her
breasts, and that luscious ass of hers. He’d noticed how Riley hung on her
every word.

“It’s a bad idea.”

“But what if Law’s right?” Dominic argued. “Your brother is
no fool. What if she’s the one?”

“Get your head out of this fucking fairy tale. There’s no
such thing as ‘the one.’”

Riley was probably right, but Dominic couldn’t stop
wondering. “What if
Kinley
could be happy at the
center of a ménage, at least for a while? It’s more than we have now.” What if
she really was strong enough to handle them and could hold them all together?

“Women don’t want what we have to offer.
Kinley
might seem open at times, but only because she’s too innocent to understand
what a future with three men would be like. She’s got a high profile. She’s
giving in now because she’s scared and doesn’t know how else to feel safe.”

Dominic turned Riley’s words over in his head.
Kinley
hadn’t seemed scared when she’d bartered with him,
almost boldly telling him what she wanted. That didn’t seem like an innocent
looking for shelter from a terrifying situation.

Shit, Law was right.
Kinley
had
been negotiating, offering him something for what she wanted in return. He’d
taken it as a play for control, a way to shut down the investigation into
Carrie’s murder—and he’d been dead wrong.

He’d spent years building a business with one thought in his
head: avenging his sister’s death. Nothing else had mattered. Law had followed
him to freaking Afghanistan and nearly lost his legs. And Dominic wasn’t
willing to give it a shot with the girl his brother so obviously loved? A girl
he couldn’t get out of his head?

“She’s just going to take what she wants and walk out in the
end.” Riley grabbed a glass. It looked like Dominic wasn’t drinking alone
tonight.

“Maybe.”
But maybe
not.
How would he know if he never took the chance?

Then a terrible truth hit him like a bolt of lightning. He’d
never really intended on sharing a woman with them forever. Law and Riley had
probably been searching for one, and Dominic had been utterly content to just
have sex. Law was right. He made himself seem like a stand-up guy because he
ensured all the subs he used got a few orgasms. He could be gracious with them,
kind even, because nothing was at stake. For too long, the only abiding love of
his life had been fucking up Greg Jansen’s.

How proud would his sister be of that? Dominic grimaced as
the question rolled through his head.

He glanced over at the bed he’d laid out for his dog. Butch
was the only responsibility he’d really taken, and then only because the damn
thing had shown up on his property half starved and refused to go away. He’d
fed the poor mutt out of pure pity, and Butch had just kept following him
around until Dominic got used to having him underfoot.

And now his dog was cuddled around the rat thing, his bigger
body shielding Gigi from anything that might come their way. He was contentedly
asleep, having given up the softest part of his bed to whatever the hell one
called a damn dog’s true love.

Even Butch knew how to care for a female. And Dominic had
done nothing but kidnap
Kinley
and use her for his
own ends, while offering her absolutely nothing in return. Oh, he’d paid lip service
to protecting her, but he wasn’t really offering protection. Once Jansen was
behind bars, the press would eat
Kinley
alive.
Dominic planned to be long gone.

That was a hell of a hand he’d dealt her.

He’d walked in and torn her life apart. When she’d asked for
the one thing she needed, he’d repaid her with insults.
Kinley
was supposed to have had a wedding night. Wasn’t it just good manners to offer
her another replacement…or two?

“How are we going to deal with this when it’s over?” Riley
asked. “We live together. Is Law just going to move
Kinley
in?”

Riley wasn’t thinking straight. He needed to get all his
anxieties in order. “I thought she was leaving him.”

“She probably will, but what if she doesn’t?”

If she didn’t, then they both would have missed out on what
they claimed they’d been seeking. What he’d damn well knew he’d wanted before
Carrie’s murder.

How much was he willing to let Jansen take from him? He’d
already snuffed out Carrie’s life. Was Dominic willing to let Jansen rob his,
too?

“If she doesn’t, then you’re going to have to listen to a
whole lot of sex,” Dominic pointed out.

Would Law and
Kinley
even stay? Or
would Law move them out? Hell, maybe they’d even move to New York. That pissed
Dominic off because it filled him with a vague panic. He’d lived with Law most
of his adult life. He didn’t want Law to leave any more than he wanted to give
Jansen his future.

Kinley
was everything he looked
for in a woman. He’d been hard since he’d first seen her, every photo making
him fall just a little more in lust. And watching her in person had made him
rethink his whole position. Hell, his whole life.

Since bringing her to Alaska, Dominic had seen how sweet and
kind she could be. She’d stood up to him when she was scared. But she’d used
her head when presented with the hard evidence.
Kinley
hadn’t curled into a ball and cried when she realized she’d been abducted.
She’d fought. Hell, she’d even dropped herself and half of her belongings out a
window, trying to escape. Life with her would never be dull.

Dominic wanted her and her trust. And he hated the thought
that she might fear him. Damn it, he wanted her to give him the information she
knew because she trusted him, not because they’d made a deal. But how was she
supposed to trust him when he’d put his own crap into her innocent plea for
help and pleasure, then thrown it back in her face?

“I need to apologize.”

“What?” Riley asked like he was out of his mind.

“I have to talk to
Kinley
.”

He needed to be in that bedroom with her and Law. Or try to
be. She might slam the door in his face, but he would take it with good grace
as long as she allowed him to apologize first.

Without another word, he strode down the hall and found the
door, unlocked now because Law was inside with her.

He wouldn’t lock her in again. She’d said she would stay. If
they had a shot at any sort of forgiveness or future with her, he had to learn
to trust her, too. He knocked.

“Go away.” Law’s deep growl sounded through the walls.

He was cock blocking his best friend. Dominic winced, then
he knocked again because he wasn’t going away. “I want to talk to
Kinley
.”

“Later.”

“Now.”
Damn it.

Someone wrenched the door opened. Law. He’d already tossed
his shirt off and was breathing heavily, scowling Dominic’s way. “Can’t it
wait? Or has something happened?”

“Yeah, I decided I was wrong and I want to apologize.”

Law’s eyes narrowed. “You interrupted us to say that you’re
sorry?”

“Unless I can convince her to take more than just an
apology. I’m sorry, Law. I don’t know how to make this right. I don’t know what
any of this fucking means. I just don’t want to miss out. I think you might be
right. She might be important.” He felt like an idiot. He’d never been in this
position, on the outside, practically begging to be let in. It wasn’t a feeling
he liked.

Kinley
stepped up behind Law,
peering out from behind his back. “Are you sorry you kidnapped me?”

He had to be honest with her. “No. If I hadn’t, you wouldn’t
be here. I’d be a lot sorrier about that. I think you would, too.”

She pursed her lips. “Are you sorry that your dog raped
mine?”

He wasn’t about to take that. “No, your dog led mine into
sin. He has a thing for bows. She used it against him.”

He caught the faintest hint of a smile from her. “I’ll
admit, she’s a flirty thing. So if you’re not apologizing for kidnapping me or
very likely turning my dog into a single mother, what are you sorry about?”

So many things.
“For being rude to you.”

She shrugged. “Well, it’s probably rude to offer sex in
exchange for putting away a dangerous criminal. I’ve already told Law that I’ll
help out. I’ll give you everything I know.”

Kinley
curled her arms around his
buddy’s torso as though she found comfort in being close to him. They were
already bonding as a Dom and sub should. And Dominic almost choked, wondering
if he was too late.

It couldn’t be. He wanted to worry about her, be responsible
for her. Comfort and care for and pleasure her. He and Law should be a team
when it came to
Kinley
. “I’m sorry I hurt you.”

“You’re forgiven.”

Just like that? God, how good was this woman?

Law had a shit-eating grin on his face. “Baby, I think he’s
sorry about a whole lot of other things.”

“I’m not going to make him beg. I forgive him and I hope we
can be friends.”

“I think that’s what he’s most sorry about,” Law explained.
“He’s really fucking sorry he’s on the wrong side of this door. He wants in and
he’s not sure how to ask since he’s never had to.”

Kinley
stared at him, her eyes
wide, her lips parted. He wanted to kiss her desperately. “Do you truly want to
come in, Dominic?”

“Yes. I want to give you the knowledge you asked for. I want
to teach you what it means to submit to a man, to trust him enough to place
your body and your pleasure in his hands. I want to help show you just how high
you can soar. And I want to share you with Law and Riley, though Riley might
not come around. Even if he doesn’t, I want to be a part of your training,
Kinley
. For as long as we’re here, I want to be your
Master.”

“I hadn’t exactly hit her with the kinky stuff yet, Dominic.
Let’s start with sex before we get to the spankings.”

“Understood.” He could wait until tomorrow to tie her up as
long as he was in her bed tonight. “I want in,
Kinley
.
Will you let me?”

She shared a glance with Law, then stepped back. For a
second, he thought she would decline. Then she opened the door wider. “Come
in.”

Law eased away, allowing Dominic to enter the room. He
stared at the woman he wanted more than his next breath.

“Call me ‘Sir,’
Kinley
.” With
gnawing hunger and hope, he reached for her hand, ready to start her lesson and
see where their future led.

Kinley
took Dominic’s hand, her
heart thumping in her chest. “Sir?”

“It’s a quirk of mine, pet.” He stood over her, looking down
into her eyes as he tangled his fingers in her hair. “You’re so fucking soft.”

Law moved in behind her, his chest brushing her back. The
thick line of his erection pressed against her backside. “I’m glad you’re here,
man. You’re better with the whole talking thing than I am. I was struggling
with how to explain what we want.”

Sex. They wanted sex, right? “What do you mean?”

Kinley
knew what she wanted—to be
right where she was, crowded by them. They took all the space surrounding her,
as they enclosed her, protected her, covered every inch of her skin with
theirs. She reveled in the sensation.

Dominic frowned. “Law?”

Law’s hand cracked against her bottom. A sharp pain flared
across
Kinley’s
butt.

“Damn, those little rhinestones are hell on a man’s hand,”
he complained.

She whipped her gaze over her shoulder and blinked at him.
He’d spanked her. Actually spanked her. Then after he slapped her backside,
he’d cupped and felt it.

And heat burst across her skin, making her tingle and aware.

Dominic cupped her chin and brought her attention back to
him. “What do you call me in the bedroom?”

“Sir.” She answered him readily because all she could think
about was how her bottom practically hummed. “If I forget to call you Sir, Law
will spank me?”

“Now you’re getting the gist.” Dominic’s eyes darkened, his
skin flushing with desire. “You obey or there will be punishment. But understand,
this is a game, pet. It’s meant to be enjoyable for us all. If you’re truly
scared or if something hurts beyond what you find pleasurable, say the word
‘red’ and everything stops. If you get anxious and want to slow down, just say
‘yellow.’”

“We want you to be happy, baby,” Law said, still palming her
butt. “We want you to crave this type of play.”

“Exactly, but we take it as seriously as we take your
pleasure. Yesterday in the kitchen we gave you your first real orgasm. But we
intend to train your body to expect that pleasure every time we touch you. When
we’re done, we’ll merely look at you, and you’ll remember how it feels to have
an orgasm overtake your whole body. You’ll know what it means to be completely
possessed. You should never accept less from a lover.”

His words were making her antsy again. Hot. “Completely?”

Dominic’s lips moved to her forehead, planting a sweet kiss
there. “Yes, pet. I want you to understand what’s going to happen. How do you
expect to take more than one man into your bed?”

“You’re not talking about taking turns, are you?” The
realization stunned
Kinley
so deeply, she could
barely breathe.

Of course she’d read some books, heard some friends talk
about…that. Annabelle sometimes confessed her fantasies after a couple of
glasses of wine. More than one man would require a certain amount of
flexibility.

“No, we won’t be taking turns. Tonight, we will because
you’re not ready for more, but we’ll require that you allow us to prepare your
body to accommodate us both at once.” Law’s hand slid around, cupping her
intimately through her jeans. “One right here in your sweet little pussy.”

Dominic’s hand found her backside. “And one in your ass.”

Heat flared everywhere they touched, everywhere they
whispered along her skin. Every place they pressed their two hard erections
against her. What would it feel like to have both of them deep inside her? She
would be caught, immobile, with absolutely no escape. Not that she would want
it. What would it be like to have these men moving in and out of her body as
she took Riley in her mouth?

She forced herself to concentrate on the situation at hand.
Riley wasn’t with her, but Dominic and Law were. It might not be forever, but
while she had them, she was going to explore a whole world she’d never dreamed
of. She’d lost so much in the last few days. She’d lost her family and the
future she’d thought would be hers, but maybe she could find a new version of
Kinley
Kohl in their arms. A better, more confident
version. Maybe she’d meet the
Kinley
who didn’t let
fear keep her from trying something new or shrink away from pleasure.

“I’ll do it.” As much as she’d feared them in the beginning,
she realized that she trusted them now. They’d risked prison time to remove her
from a dangerous situation. Yes, they’d done it for Carrie, too. But they’d
cared for her since bringing her to Alaska.
Kinley
was self-aware enough to know that she would have resisted believing anything
if they had merely tried to talk to her. She would have gone straight to Greg
and demanded answers. For that, he might have killed her then and there. Method
of transport notwithstanding, they had treated her better than any other men in
her life.

Her heart would probably break if this didn’t work out, but
she refused to be too scared to take a chance anymore. She would rather mourn
the loss of them than never have them at all.

Dominic shook his head with a sigh. “Law?”

“Sir! I’ll do it, Sir.” She was going to have to get used to
that.

It was too late. Law smacked her backside again as he chuckled
against her ear. “Keep it up, baby. I could do this all day. I enjoy spanking
your ass.”

And she was starting to enjoy the feeling, too. It hurt…but
then it didn’t. Then only heat licked through her.

Dominic stepped back. “Undress for us,
Kinley
.”

Just like that all her self-doubts pushed to the forefront.
They were so magnificently masculine. Obviously, they worked hard to stay in
peak physical condition. She’d been starving herself for weeks and had barely
managed to lose one dress size. And she wasn’t sure that her boobs looked so
great without the support of a bra.

“Is there a problem, pet?” Dominic settled into the
wingchair on the far side of the room with a dark brow raised. Somehow he made
the comfortable leather piece look like a throne. His black hair was slicked
away from his angular face, and he was dressed casually, but there was no way a
T-shirt and sweatpants could detract from his regal air of authority.

“Can we turn off the lights?”

Law turned her to face him. “Are you looking for a serious
spanking? No, we are not going to turn off the lights. We are not going to
huddle under the covers and fumble around so everyone’s modesty is preserved.
There is zero place for that here. We’re going to fuck. It’s going to be dirty
and nasty, and it’s going to feel so good. And when we’re done, I’m going to
hold you all night long. But now you’re going to obey, and that means you’d
better strip off every garment and show us what you’re offering.”

Tears threatened. She turned slightly so she could see them
both. “What if you don’t want me after I’m naked?”

“That will not happen,” Law promised.

Dominic’s stare delved into her, his will apparent in the
intensity. “
Kinley
, you wanted to trade your business
information for knowledge about sex. I’m going to give you a little of that
advice up front. Be brave in life. Accept that there’s always a chance you
won’t get what you want. On the other hand, you’ll never have what you seek
unless you ask for it. Sex is the same. If all you ask for is a man to climb on
top of you and try to get you off, then that’s likely what you’ll get. But if
you want more, if you want real intimacy and connection, then offer it. Offer
yourself to us.”

Offer herself? Hadn’t she been doing that for years? She’d
offered her love and devotion to her sister and father. She’d offered her
future to Greg. She’d done it all without any thought to her own needs beyond
being a dutiful daughter, of doing what was expected. In fact, she’d done
everything society thought was proper and right. She’d sacrificed for her
family because that was what a good woman was supposed to do.

Being good had gotten her nothing. She was alone and
empty-handed. She would always be if she didn’t change something.

Starting with being brave.

Kinley
pulled at her sweater,
dragging it over her head and handing it to Law. Dominic sat back, fingers
steepled
, an air of satisfaction humming around him. He
said nothing, merely watched her with hot eyes that never strayed from her
body.

“You’re doing great, baby. Take off the jeans. I’ve been
wanting to see your ass for months.” Law stood behind her. His hands encircled
her waist as he undid the snap on her jeans. Like all the jeans Greg had given
her, it was encrusted with little rhinestones. “Let me help you.”

He eased the zipper down and then his warm hands met her
flesh. She nearly sighed at the sizzling connection.

He pushed the waistband down and helped her step out,
leaving her in nothing but her plain white support bra and cotton undies.

“I don’t like the underwear, pet. I thought I made myself
clear.” Dominic frowned.

He looked gorgeous when he frowned. And when he smiled. He
was just entirely perfect.

“Yes, Sir. That was before I tried to escape. I thought it
would be easier to get away with underwear on.”

Dominic looked as if he repressed a smile. “I assure you it
won’t be any easier to get away because you’ve covered your pussy. If you try
to leave us again, expect a spanking and some other punishments that will
be…uncomfortable.”

“Like I said, I’ve decided to stay. Especially once I found
out you have a guard moose on the payroll.” She’d known escaping into the
wilderness was a stupid move, but she’d been trying to protect herself.
Kinley
didn’t want that now. If the heartache was going to
come, she wanted to have a damn good reason for it.

“It’s for the best. We can protect you here while we figure
out how to put Jansen in jail,” Law said.

She held up a hand because she didn’t want that to go any
further. “Let’s not talk about Greg now. I don’t even want the thought of him
to come between us.”

This was their time to bond. Greg couldn’t be allowed to
ruin it.

“Then take off his rock,” Dominic demanded with a firm jaw
and uncompromising stare.

Rock?
As
Kinley
brought her hand down, the light caught her
engagement ring, the four-carat diamond glittering.

Kinley
stared at it. How was she
still wearing Greg’s ring? For the last month, it had just become an extension
of who she was: Greg’s fiancée. Not anymore. The ring had to go. She didn’t
care that it was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. She just wanted it off
her finger. Though she pulled and yanked, it wouldn’t budge. She hadn’t taken
it off since the day he’d placed it on her finger. Now it was stuck.

“Come here.” Dominic held a hand out.

She went to him, trembling and wondering if she was about to
get another spanking.

Gently, Dominic took her hand, his fingers sliding over the
ring. “You want to be rid of this?”

“More than anything.”

Very slowly he brought her hand to his mouth. He kissed the
tips of her fingers, the sensation soft against her flesh. He sucked her finger
into his mouth. Heat sizzled through her, all the way between her legs, as his
tongue played against her skin. He enveloped her whole finger in the heat of
his mouth. His teeth skimmed her flesh, the little bite sending a jolt of need
through her body before he anchored them around the band. Then very slowly, he
dragged the ring up her finger, freeing her.

He spit the bling from between his lips and placed it on the
nightstand. “Better?”

Kinley
nodded, eyes glued to him.

“Good. Now hand me your bra and panties. I want to see all
of you.”

Her body was starting to hum. Despite the fact they were
standing apart, his gaze felt like an allover caress.

Swallowing down her nerves, she pushed the bra straps off
her shoulders, then reached behind and unhooked the band. As soon as the
garment slid free, Law’s big hands cupped her.
Kinley
closed her eyes in pure pleasure.

He and Dominic had seen her naked breasts. And they weren’t
turning away.

“Now the underwear, Law,” Dominic said, his voice low.

Law’s palms skimmed her body and settled on her hips. Then
he slid his fingers under the elastic of her panties and dragged them down her
legs.

Dominic sat back in his seat again, his eyes darkening as
his stare drank her in. “You’re lovely,
Kinley
.
You’re womanly and beautiful. Being naked doesn’t take away an ounce of your
innocence.”

She blushed, but it had been the perfect thing to say.
“Thank you, Sir.”

Dominic’s satisfied smile made her heart do little
flip-flops before he turned to his friend. “Law, how is that backside of hers
you’re so deeply interested in?”

Law groaned behind her. “So fucking perfect. Round and
delicious.”

“Show me.”

Law turned her, and her heart softened as she looked up into
his eyes. Dominic was dangerous and sexy, and
Kinley
was falling for him fast. But she’d already tumbled over with this man.

She rested her hands on Law’s perfectly ripped chest and
looked up at him, melting into him a bit.

“Now that is a luscious ass,” Dominic said.

“And this is a sweet, smooth pussy.” Law leaned out and
stared down, grazing her nipples as he worked his way down her body. “Spread
your legs. Don’t hesitate. Just obey me.”

Kinley
moved her feet apart. Cold
air brushed her sensitive folds, and she felt exposed with Law’s eyes on her.
But it wasn’t an unwelcome feeling. In fact, she liked being on display and
seeing the appreciation in his stare.
