MasukShe started to retort when two raps preceded Quinn walking in. He cast a glance at the dogs snoring in front of the woodstove. “Did you drug my usual welcoming committee?”“No. They spent the weekend in the barn, pacing, missing their cushy life inside the house, snoozing by the fire. You want a beer?”“Sure.” Quinn placed a tinfoil-covered plate on the counter. “Libby made brownies.”“Ooh. Yum.” Keely moved dishes around to make space.Ben slipped behind the bar and popped the top on a bottle of Coors Light, nudging it toward his brother. “Before we get overrun with family, what’s up with Dad? I called him on the way home today and he said he couldn’t talk. He was figuring something out.” Ben winced. “Christ. Please tell me that ain’t married man code for him and Mom havin’ sex?”Quinn laughed. “Nope. He was lookin’ at airline schedules.”“Why? They goin’ to see Chase and Ava in California?”“Nope. Gavin invited them to Phoenix.”“Really? That’s…good. Isn’t it?”“I hope so.”His cous
“Is he keeping in contact with you guys?”“He’s called me and Quinn a couple times. When the PBR was in Arizona he went to see Chase ride. He met Ava too.”“Any idea when the rest of us get to meet him? It’s bizarre that Aunt Vi had Uncle Charlie’s baby and gave him up for adoption. And then they ended up getting married years later anyway?” She shook her head with disbelief. “I hoped Gavin’s status as an only child in his adoptive family meant he’d be curious about all of us.”He tried to find an answer that wouldn’t offend. The McKay family was overwhelmingly large, especially with the influx of babies in the last few years. From the few times Ben had talked to Gavin, the man defined cautious. It made sense he’d test the waters with his newly discovered siblings before he plunged into the gigantic McKay gene pool.After Gavin showed up on their parent’s doorstep a few months back, announcing he was their firstborn son, Ben figured Gavin had satisfied his curiosity about his birth pa
His dark eyes held a dangerous look. “You’d be a real challenge for me, wouldn’t you?”“Probably.”“Good thing I live for a challenge.” He smooched her nose. “Don’t move.”Ainsley heard him rummaging around behind her. Any desire to sleep had fled. She wanted more time with this man.More than just tonight? Would you come back to the club if he asked?The bed dipped and the heat of his body called to hers. “This is cold but it’ll help.” A sticky substance splatted across the top of her butt like icy raindrops. His callused hands spread coolness over her flaming ass, toning down some of the hotness, and she couldn’t help but sigh.“Know what I normally do, after I’ve reddened a woman’s ass like this?” His finger traced her butt crack. “I f**k it. Hard and fast. While she’s in that hazy place where the line is blurred between pleasure and pain.” He pressed his finger against her anus and she involuntarily clenched. “I’d like to force this tiny hole open to take every inch of my cock. Bu
“They looked naughty and sexy up by your ears.”He just grunted. Then he patted his thighs. “Come here and sit on my lap.”She walked on her knees, watching as his eyes ate up her body. When Bennett’s gaze lingered on her belly, she didn’t suck in the pooch, nor did she mention getting back to exercising to tone up her wide hips and flabby thighs. Ainsley just let him look his fill.He curled one hand around her jaw, holding her in place as he kissed her. These bone-melting kisses were new. Soft, slow, and thorough. He explored every inch of her mouth with his tongue as he urged her to sit on his thighs. Ainsley didn’t mind the awkward position if he’d just keep his mouth on hers, devastating all her senses with his drugging kisses.But Bennett abruptly spun her around, face first on the bed. One of his legs pinned both of hers to the mattress and his hand was in the center of her back, holding her down.“What are you—”A sharp smack echoed when his hand connected with her butt cheek.
“And that’s a problem…why?”“It’s embarrassing.”“Huh-uh. Try again.”“My head gets fuzzy. It makes me…”“Lose control. Guess what? That’s exactly what I’m tryin’ to do. Because control is mine, not yours.”Ben slid his hand between her legs. Swirling his middle finger in her juices and following the seam of her sex up to her clit. He rubbed the tiny nub until it plumped, her escalating moans urging him on. Then he went in for the kill, suctioning his mouth to her throat as he shoved two fingers into her wet pu**y.Her body jerked like she’d stepped on a live wire.He felt the vibration of her scream beneath his lips and a jolt of male satisfaction hardened his dick. She was so damn responsive. He imagined spending all night teasing her, driving her to the pinnacle and then kicking her over the edge. Some other time, since he was chomping at the bit to f**k her.When the tension left her body, he donned a condom. He untied her legs and kneaded her calves. “Any numbness?”“No.”Releasi
Ben lowered to his knees. “Relax your shoulders.” He twined the red scarves from her elbows to her wrists, immobilizing her arms.The height of her heeled shoes only allowed him to tie her legs from mid-calf to ankle. He ran his palms up the inside of her thighs. “Your skin looks so pretty wrapped in red silk.”She lifted her chest when he secured the first strap above her hips. “What are you doing?”“Tyin’ you down so you can’t jerk away from me when I touch you.” He secured the next strap above her br**sts. “Stay still. If you move too much the strap will bite. I don’t want these beautiful br**sts bruised.”“Will it pinch me more than it is now?”He traced the edge of the strap from one armpit to the other. “If you arch too high. And the only thing allowed to pinch these sweet babies is me.” He tweaked both ni**les simultaneously.She gasped. “Bennett, I don’t know about this.”He studied her reaction to being bound. Rapid breathing. Slight trembles. But she wasn’t attempting to jer
Caleb frowned. “A Woods of course.”Scowls spread through the assembled clansmen and grumbles rose. Many turned their backs and walked away.Rachael slid her hand into Caleb’s. He could feel her tremble. He squeezed to reassure her.“I’ll not tolerate disrespect toward my wife,” he said tightly.“ ’Tis
For several long moments he continued his gentle caresses as he softened inside her. Impossibly, he wrapped one arm around her and put his other hand to the floor to push himself upward.He slipped from her body as he stood, but he continued to hold her as he turned toward the bed, the tub and the fo
Edward bent over the bed to see that his brother had finally succumbed to unconsciousness. He glanced up at Alan and Gannon.“I’m worried for them both. They both have grievous wounds and have lost a lot of blood. But ’tis Caleb’s that went the longest without care and they’d already began to fester.
Caleb opened his eyes to see Cameron standing a short distance away. Hatred was bitter in Caleb’s mouth. That the man was so close and yet Caleb was helpless to do anything but lie there made bile rise in his throat. If he could manage the feat, he’d spit in Cameron’s eye.“So you have,” Cameron said
