“Shepard. You’re up.”

Shepard glares at Austin for a moment before his need for me has him moving closer. He reaches out and pulls on the ribbons holding my dress closed, leaving the rope in place, but tugging the material out of the way so it hangs on my hips, hiding nothing. “Fuck me, she’s bare underneath.”

Austin’s teeth nip my ear. “Naughty girl. You wanted this to happen, didn’t you?”

When I don’t answer, he wraps his hand around my throat, applying just enough pressure to make my pussy start dripping.

“Answer him, Opie,” Riggs orders, as he pops open the button of his jeans and pulls out his hard cock.

“Yes,” I shout out when Shepard pinches my nipple. The rough rope feels abrasive against my skin as I move, adding another dimension that makes my head spin.

“Better hurry up, boys. Food will be ready soon,” Austin teases, which is enough for Shepard to make his move. He pulls his cock free as Austin picks me up and sits me on his legs and spreads them, which of course, spreads mine with them, opening me up for Shepard.

Shepard steps between my thighs and slides his cock through my arousal as his lips find mine. Then he’s forcing his way inside me, ripping a cry from my mouth, which he swallows down greedily. He fucks me hard and deep as Austin holds me steady, his mouth at my ear, whispering all the dirty things he wants to watch them do to me. It’s more than I can handle. I come with a scream, my back arching as Shepard comes too, his name a whisper on my lips before he’s moving away, and Riggs takes his place.

“Fuck, you feel so hot and slick,” he growls as he hammers into me.

Knowing he’s fucking Shepard’s cum into me makes me drip everywhere. I idly wonder if Austin brought spare clothes with him because his jeans are going to be ruined after this.

“Nowhere on earth I’d rather be than inside you,” Riggs moans against my lips. He deepens his thrusts, hitting that spot inside me that makes my eyes cross. He comes hard, filling me up, leaving me on the cusp of another orgasm. From the wicked look in his eye, I can tell that’s by design.

“Gotta go check on the food. Shep, you can help.”

“What? Oh come on.”

Riggs tucks his cock away and yanks Shepard to the door. “Don’t be long.” His voice is stern as he addresses Austin. This is him giving the man one chance, warning him not to fuck things up. They’re gone before either of us can reply.

Austin tips my head back so he can see me. “You need to come, baby?”

“Yes.”

“You gonna let me inside you?”

I swallow. “Yes.”

“Good, because you don’t get to eat until you’re dripping with all of us.”

He lets go of my legs and nudges me forward so he can hop off the workbench. I sway as he frees his cock, with a wicked glint in his eye. He reaches for the rope and before I can guess his intention, he spins me around to face the worktop. I let out a startled gasp before the rope slides up over my shoulders and tightens around my neck.

My eyes widen in panic for a second before I’m bending over the worktop and Austin’s cock is bottoming out inside me. I scream, which is silenced when he pulls the rope tighter, cutting off my air. He doesn’t stop fucking me, though. If anything, he fucks me harder. The savagery with which he takes me would leave me rocking in the corner if my brain could process everything that’s happening.

When my head starts to throb, and my lungs feel like they’re going to burst, he plants himself deep and comes, loosening the rope as he does. I come so hard I black out. Whether it’s from the lack of oxygen or my brain rebooting, I don’t know. When I regain consciousness, I’m lying on the worktop, my legs spread wide as Austin cleans me up with his tongue. I look down at the devil between my legs and whimper.

He grins up at me like the fucking bastard he is. “Welcome back. Let’s eat. The starter took the edge off, but I’m ready for the main course.”

I know in that moment that there is a very good chance I won’t survive this.

Everything between us is too much and not enough. I must have some kind of dick-induced Stockholm syndrome. Instead of running for the hills like I should, I’m more than happy to be their willing captive.

Chapter Seventeen

Things settle into an amicable rhythm over the next few weeks as the guys learn to navigate our relationship and each other. While they work on that, I slowly work on opening myself up more.

Local deliveries become a regular occurrence, and I look forward to them. Slowly but surely, the places I visit come back to life. I didn’t notice it at first. It was Jackie who pointed it out, and once she did, I couldn’t help but look for color everywhere I went.

I spend more time in town, in a conscious effort to make myself seen so people can form their own opinions about me instead of listening to the rumor mill. An unexpected side effect was finding myself with dozens more female clients who suddenly wanted more than they had. I guess the land wasn’t the only thing that had been rotting since I left. People, women in particular, often found themselves blamed for every issue in their relationships. Dawn was not the only person in a volatile marriage, with abuse running the gamut from gaslighting and emotional abuse to financial and physical abuse.

Nobody mentioned sexual abuse, but I had my suspicions about a few.
