The Hardest Part (Brookside #2)

Chapter Twenty-Six

M arried six weeks, and there were still some days Emily had to pinch herself to be sure she wasn’t dreaming. But then, she was living one, wasn’t she?

The summer sun kissed the mountain’s peak, bathing the sky in a beautiful display of colors, pink and orange and red. A shadow crept upward, the light fading from the hillside paddock where the horses grazed.

“Ruby,” Emily called out to the dapple gray.

The mare came, with Chaser and Blaze following along behind her. They knew what time it was, and went right into their stalls in the barn for the night, as happy in their new home as she was. And with the horses inside, Emily returned to the house to prepare for dinner and game night.

It was Billy’s idea. On Saturday nights, he and Jake went and got takeout from Harry’s—the best, and the only, place to eat in town—and they each took a turn choosing which board game to play. Scrabble was Jake’s pick for tonight.

He always wins, too, dang it .

Maybe this time she’d get lucky.

After a quick shower, Emily slipped into a pair of striped boy shorts and her cropped cotton cami. She heard footsteps from the kitchen, so she hurried, rubbing the body butter Shiloh made into her skin. Her latest hobby smelled delicious, like oranges and chocolate.

The footsteps faded, and suddenly, the house grew quiet. Too quiet. “Babe?”

But no one answered.

Was she hearing things now?

Figuring she must be, Emily shrugged, pulled her hair into a messy bun, and slathered vanilla gloss on her lips.

Then, she opened the ensuite door, and an arm snaked around her waist. “Gotcha.”

She screamed.

“Whoa, Emily, it’s me.” Jake held her to his bare chest and chuckled.

She held her hand to her rapidly beating heart—not laughing. “You scared me.”

“Didn’t mean to.” Grinning against her forehead, he kissed it. “Just wanted to surprise you.”

“Well, you succeeded.” Giggling, she twisted his nipple. “Where’s Billy?”

“He’s coming.” His voice, dark and smoky, he walked her backward.

Her legs touched the mattress, and Jake pulled the clip from her hair. He gathered it in his hand, softly tugging as he took possession of her mouth. She allowed it, her body inching its way down to the bed.

“What about dinner?” Her lips skimmed the pulse at his neck. “And game night?”

“It’ll keep.”

He slipped the thin straps of her cami down her shoulders. With her arms trapped at her side, Jake released her breasts and nuzzled his face between the globes of supple flesh. His dick, hard as concrete in his faded blue jeans, weighed heavily on her thigh.

She shifted against him. “And this can’t?”

“No.” He kissed her nipple, leaving it with a little lick. “I need to be inside my wife.”

He was inside her just this morning. Billy, too. Emily didn’t get the chance to remind him of that, though, because her nipple was back in his mouth. As if they hadn’t been fucking like bunnies mere hours ago, Jake sucked on it, biting into the tender bud, then soothing the sting with his tongue, while his fingers trailed up and down her neck, across her collarbone, and down again to caress her breasts.

With the ache in her pussy flaring, Emily lifted her hips. She wanted him. She always wanted him. And his brother. “I need you, too.”

Jake pulled the boy shorts down her legs and freeing her arms, the cami remained around her waist. He held onto her breasts, squeezing them as he made his way down her tummy. His teeth grazing her skin, she fisted his hair, anticipating the moment she’d feel his lips on her clit and his fingers in her cunt.

A husky chuckle fanned her pussy.

Emily pulled on the long sable locks.

And his tongue swiped up her slit.

Fucking hell .

That first touch sent the heat of a million tiny stars shooting through her body, the same as it always did.

The man knew just how to make her crazy. Tantalizingly slow licks, fast flicks, and pointed circles with his tongue turned Emily into a whimpering, quivering mess. And it never failed. At the very moment she thought she’d die, Jake filled her with his fingers, fucking her while he sucked on her needy little clit until she screamed.

He knelt between her legs, licking up the copious wetness that coated his fingers. And when he was finished, he stood, popping the buttons open on his jeans. Thick and hard, his cock sprang free, bobbing between his legs as if calling to her.

She reached for him, and wrapping her fingers around his length, Emily kissed the precum from its tip. His head thrown back, Jake hissed, sucking the air in through his teeth. She loved knowing she had that effect on him, and swirling her tongue around the head, she took him into her mouth.

“Fuck.” His fingers dragging through her hair, he yanked on the ends. “I’m gonna come.”

She sucked harder, craving the taste of him.

In a quick maneuver, Jake pulled her off his dick and sat her on his thighs. He nipped at her nipple, probing her hole with his finger. “And when I do, baby, it’s gonna be right here.”

That’s all he had to say.

Straddling him, Emily lowered herself onto his steely dick with a sharp intake of breath. She loved the way he filled her, how the initial penetration stretched her open to accommodate him.

He kissed her. “Lean back on your hands, now.”

Emily complied. It put her at an odd angle, but Jake felt incredible inside her.

Her head tipped back, she closed her eyes, enjoying the unfamiliar sensation.

Warm, wet lips tugged at her nipple. Long hair tickled her skin. Emily smiled, and reaching for Billy, she almost toppled off of Jake, but he caught her. Holding her in position, he fed at her breast and watched his brother fuck her.

As he drifted in and out of her, Jake rubbed her clit with his thumb. Too much, and not enough, she whimpered. “Please.”

“More, wife?” And with his dick already filling her, he slid his fingers inside.

“That’s our girl.” Billy pinched her nipple while Jake stroked his cock inside her pussy. “I love watching my brother fuck you, baby.”

I know you do .

“Kiss me, Billy.”

And he did. Twisting her nipple, Billy fucked her mouth with his tongue while Jake fucked her cunt with his fingers on his dick.

“Suck him,” Jake commanded.

Billy’s dick tapped her lips, and she opened.

Gladly .

“Yeah.” And fucking her throat, he groaned. “She ready yet, brother?”

“See for yourself,” Jake said, withdrawing his fingers. He left his cock inside.

Billy replaced them with four of his own. Brushing past his brother’s dick, his fingers grazed the wet walls of her pussy, his thumb pressed into her clit.

“Ready for what?”

Jake lapping at her nipple, Billy pulled his hand out. “For your dream to come true.”

Oh, yes, I’m ready, and I want it so bad. Please, please, please .

She’d had them fuck her together before, one in her ass and the other in her cunt. She’d taken Billy’s fist inside her, all the way to the wrist, and then Jake’s. Christ, there was nothing else like it. Emily begged for it often, and her husbands enthusiastically obliged her.

“We always know what you need, baby.”

I need to you to stuff your big dick inside me .

She leaned forward onto Jake, biting at his lips. “I love you.”

“We’re gonna breed you together, michante .” He thrust his hips up. “Put our baby in your belly.”

“You wanna get me pregnant?”

“You wanna be?”

“I do.”

Jake glanced over at his brother. Billy positioned himself behind her on the bed.

“Can’t wait to fuck you when you’re big and round.” He grasped her nipples between his fingers. “And drink milk from these pretty tits.”

Fuck .

The head of Billy’s cock prodded at her opening, already filled with his brother’s dick. He pushed forward, and it burned, the thin tissue stretching even further.

She must’ve cried out because Jake was stroking her hair and kissing her lips. “Relax, baby. Let him in.”

“I’m trying.” But it hurts .

“Shhh, you can do this.” Jake rubbed her clit and Billy pushed in farther. “Take my brother’s cock with mine.”

Then he sucked her nipple into his mouth and Billy went all the way in.

Even if Emily could speak, and with the air locked in her lungs, she couldn’t, there were no words to describe what she was feeling. But if there was a heaven, she was in it. These men, she was lucky enough to call hers, took her far beyond her wildest dreams.

Billy gripped her chin and, turning her face toward his, he kissed her. “I love you, Em.”

“So beautiful.” Jake held onto her hips, his lips brushing hers. “And perfect.”

Everything that comes in threes is .

Emily had always known that together they would be.

And there’d always be something else to wait for, something more to look forward to. Becoming a mother someday. A teacher. But the hardest part was behind her now, and with their love made even stronger for it, she’d learned to cherish every fucking moment of today. Even the waiting. Because too soon, tomorrow becomes yesterday.

She reached out to touch Jake’s hair.

He held her hand to his face. “I love you with every breath, michante .”

My heart .

Everything she ever wanted and dared to dream of was right here.

“I feel it in my bones.” Stroking his cheek, Emily smiled. “And I love you both.”

I always have and I always will .
